This thread is pretty useful for root user with custom rom and have ext partition.
Hey guys, I have discovered something.
Here is a few apps that most of us have and it used a lot of storage in phone memory (ext partition) compare to moved to SD. It is better to move this few apps to SD to have more available phone memory.
Lets see how much phone memory do you save after you moved these apps to SD.
1. Adobe Reader
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 4mb
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 136kb
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 96%
2. Angry Birds
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 288KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 86%
3. Angry Birds Season
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 252KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 86%
4. Angry Birds Rio
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used (%) after app moved to SD: 372KB
5. CamTranslator
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 4MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 264KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 95%
If you have all these apps in phone, it used about 14MB phone memory.
If you moved all these apps to SD, it used about 1.06MB phone memory.
You saved about 13MB after moving these apps to SD.
If you feel I missed out something, just share it out here. Thanks!

Dude, dtapps2sd moves the ENTIRE app to EXT. I have no clue where you're getting this from. The whole point of it is to eliminate the need to have a single sdcard always in your phone, and save space at the same time.
And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean.

Exactly, dunno why people are SOOOO bothered about getting 170mb free space. Space is meant to be used people!! As long as you have some left, you're fine....

if "WHOLE" app is moved to ext, why my available phone storage is keep dropping? can you explain this term?
Edit 1
"And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean."
The app is moved to SD and it doesnt stay on ext anymore.

app data. settings/preferences/scores are stored in a database in your data partition. Oh and cache if you haven't done a2sd cachesd.
edit: if you want to move data also to sd, you should do
$su
$a2sd data2sd
This will stop your memory from going down and is a much better solution that moving apps to sd card manually.

Hello, I am getting an error for insufficient storage when I try to install some apps. I know how to fix this (by deleting apps obviously)...however I'm just not sure what is taking the space.
When I open up the storage section it says:
Apps - 1.5GB
Other - 4.5GB
I have NO idea what is using this Other space. Is it just cache? I can't click on the other section to see what is taking the space. Anyone know how I can figure this out?
Thanks!

you could try to wipe the cache partition from recovery. might also try to do a google checkin (dial *#*#2432546#*#*)

I had this problem too. This happens because when you install apps from the play store most of the time it gets put into the internal storage which is small in comparison to the phone storage (internal sdcard). So to fix the problem go to settings then apps. The apps under "downloaded" is what's in the internal storage so what I do is I go through each app that is 10 mb and higher and move them to phone storage (internal sd card). This should fix it .

There sure is. Never knew that.
None of that works. no matter what. If I move it to phone storage, the app is still in the internal phone storage. Why in hell would they partition a drive and all the apps go to internal phone storage by default and no matter if you move it or NOT the app is still taking space in the internal phone storage. and NOT all apps will move. So how do we make it so that all apps download to phone storage by default?
Ok, so I have a Incredible 4g. I also have a 32 GB sd card that I use in it. But when i download music from a third party app such as "Music Download Paradise PRO" it stores it on the internal phone storage. Now i am not exactly a N00b with android, and I know that ANDROZIP is a great app to have on your phone. The app tells me I have 4.5 GB of storage which is the size of the built in phone stoage. On the SD card i have about 9 GB free. Also when I plug my phone into the computer and choose disk drive, i get 2 to choose from the HTC built-in storage and the SD card. Is there anything i can do to fix this?

That's the reason I made my sdcard swap mod, basically will make that 32gb sdcard your internal storage try it

If you move the app from internal storage to your SD card, does it still save music to internal storage?
Settings > Applications > (find Music Download Paradise PRO) > Move to SD card

No, HTC has put a block on this. You can go in the internal storage using Androzip, but when you try to move it to sd_ext then it says "Androzip has stopped working".

Yes, the only two places i can move it are between the phone storage and internal storage, both of which are not the 32 GB sd card.

Oh, yes, this is the case. I'm not sure why I got stuck thinking this would move apps to MicroSD. It moves them to /sdcard/.android_secure. Unless you can find something that works better than Androzip, I believe the earlier suggestion by jose51197 to use a swap-storage-mod is the only option. Sorry to hear you aren't interested in unlocking your phone.

Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could answer, why the App Storage for the Desire X is limited to 2.9 GB. Apparently some apps can no lobger be Moved and I currently seem to have only 18 MB free. An installation of an update of Facebook (19 MB) or Chrome (36 MB) often fail unless I have cleared all the cahces.
Can somebody tell me how to increase this space? I have used cache Cleaner to Move all apps to sd card that were possible to move.
Maybe sb. has some ideas.
Thanks
Andy
You can install a micro SD card and move a few apps to SD if possible. If that's not enough, root your phone, partition your sd card so it has an ext4 partition and install Link2SD from Google Play. Then, you can move any apps to your sd card.

How can i install a micro SD card???:good:
i can insert one though
I think I moved all the Apps I can and I don't think rooting will do the trick.
Under AppStorage in Settings I used up 2.73 GB / 2.90 GB
Apps 0.91 GB
Other 1.81 GB
I am stumbling over the Other category.
I recently found out that my camera actually saved to phone memory and not to my sd card. I changed it now and actually moved the files.
But why is other so high here? If Apps only take up 0.91 GB that would be fine.
Did your clear the apps caches? Maybe it helps.

Did u go in the file manager to delete it?
BTW, how much ram did ur phone had already?
If it is more than or near to 1 GB, u are wasting your time.
Virtual memories are slower than physical ones.
Ur phone will become laggy than ever before.
Don't use the ram expander.
what can i do to get more free ram
and reduce lags.?

John, as I read you say that you have 4 GB junk files on your SD card ?
Try to format your SD card on pc and restore default size.
You can use some SD card reader and format your SD Card if you are unable to format your SD card in phone .
Use sd maid pro or root cleaner.
DOES THIS THING WITH VIRTUAL RAM WORK OR NOPE?
because my phone is using 1gb at least and i have 500 free ram
and i get lags etc

I have the same problem which was posted on hashtag 3 please help me thank you
