I wanted to ask how people manage their storage on their A101 efficiently. I have noticed that my system storage fills up as I install new apps and I have to manually move each to internal storage to keep the A101 running smoothly. Some apps cant be moved it seems.
Is there someway of getting apps to automatically install to internal storage to make life a little easier?
If you have root (Archangel is fine) you can use Move2SD Enabler. It is available on the market. Read instructions from the link below

as you can't move apps with widgets or system apps, as they won't work properly. It has saved me lots of space on my A70.

Thanks Darren. I haven't gone down the Root path yet. Is there an app you can use without root that will do the job?
Try App 2 SD from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
You can only move apps which android allows to be moved with this, but it will tell you if you can move an app when you install new ones.

Thanks Darren. I'll give that a go until Im brave enough to Root my Archos
Loaded App 2 SD.
Thought it was really good. Made life much easier.
However its highlighted a problem with my storage. I have posted the problem in another thread that I started a while ago here:

the first thread is said to be root XT530 (2.3.5 based) but the title goes for XT316(2.3.4). So i am a bit worried if thats alright or i got wrongly redirected over there. Moreover, the links for the files weren't working, so i need links for the files needed (like Google GMS pack).
the second thread says it will root the current android version, but i need to ask if that would install Google GMS services automatically or i need to download that pack externally.
PLus i need a few basic questions if anyone bother to answer:
1. I got just 19mb to 25mb as my internal memory constantly. i mean, i dont think i would get more than 35mb of internal memory even if i remove all apps installed. is it normal?
2. would i be able to shift apps to SD card after rooting?
3. can i overclock my phone? and if yes, what is the maximum limit?
No ine bothers to put down a single dmn answer? :\

Hello,
I know for a fact that both uper mentioned links worked fine, but i rooted my XT530 phone using the second one.
1. It is normal 19 to 25 MB of memory if u have installed a few apps, that is becouse you have preinstalled lot of useless junk which you cannot uninstall even if you have rooted your phone. I'm hoping that cianogenmod (or some other custom rom) will soon be available for XT530, so we would be able to uninstall things we don't need.
2. You can shift apps to SD even without rooting your phone, but the trick is that most preinstalled apps cannot be shifted or uninstalled.
3. After rooting I wasn't able to overclock my phone, and I tried every cpu-tuning app available on the matrket. Again we will have to wait for some custom rom.
Hope this helps a bit.
first thanks a lot for replying.
Can you give me a good reason to root my phone if i cant do anything in the casE?
Hi!
Couldn't find a solution for this. I first noticed it in the stock camera app and it won't store anything on my phone. I can't access anything when I connect the phone to USB (tried with usb debugging and without because that solved it one time in another rom). I would really just flash another rom, but because I can't save anything on the phone ergo I can't do a backup of my apps and settings and that would really be... time consuming.
I can mount USB storage from the recovery so that is not an issue. I "googled" last hour for the solution but couldn't find so apologies if it was answered somewhere else because I couldn't find it. Wanted to post in the development forum but don't have 10 posts.
Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work

« ¿Where are the files of my External SD?
This time the manage the external sd it's different way, now the external SD it's called /emmc, there are your files. You can access to this folder with any file explorer (even the built-in one). Just open the file manager, select the "mnt" button, the one between the Home icon and SD icon. Inside you'll find emmc.
and more here :

Thanks guys. Didn't manage it, but uninstalling and reinstalling mybackup pro after it asked for root perm. did the trick so with the apps,data and all other stuff backed up I just put the new 1.7 up and it works like a charm!
But, would be helpful (if not for me then for someone else) if I knew the reason why it got messed up in the first place

Thanks a lot, cheers.

Broken premium handling?
I have sent a bug report from the app via gmail, but I will try to be more verbose when describing the issue here, since I wrote it from a mobile phone. The issues concern premium version of this application (I could have easily write the binding script myself, but told myself what the heck, let's support the developer).
1. I have installed the free version from an account which I don't use for purchases on SG3 mini. So when I installed it through Google Play on the second device with the intention to go Premium later, it did install from this account anyway (and kept doing so), preventing me from buying the premium. This is the Play issue, but some apps let the user choose which account should be used for in-app billing. You may consider this.
2. When I paid for the premium from Xperia M, the payment succeeded and after 1-2 minutes the app became premium version. However, this did not happen on the SG3 mini, which keeps the "basic" version event after an reinstall and a hour after payment. When I try to buy the premium package ("Zakoupit premiovy balicek"), the account is the same and after clicking on Buy (Koupit) & Google Play, the Google Play gives me an error that I already own the entry (Chyba: Tuto polozku uz vlastnite) but pressing OK does not help, the premium features will not be activated and I get back to the "Buying" dialog.
Can you fix that?
EDIT: OK, one of the reviews mentions restarting the phone to get premium features in similar case. It helped, the app is now premium.
Foldermount stopped working
Today my z1 compact(kitkat) crashed and i had to use the off button near the sim slot. since then i cant mount any folders. I can still move data on sd and back but i cant mount anything. I tryed reinstalling, new folder pairs and reinstalling the sd fix. till there everything worked fine. Any Idea whats wrong?
Edit: im using 2.7 premium and the 4.4.4 Andoird with the .157 build
Can i mount the whole android/data directory as well as the whole android/obb directory onto my ext sd card, instead of individual app data or obb folders? Does it make any difference?
And another thing, what exactly do the green and white pins mean? If i leave a mounted directory's pin white, how is that bad for me?
Folder mount doesn't work anymore since lollipop update. App is shown as mounted, but app never works.. This is on my nvidia shields tablet wifi
Edit.. Got it to work.
paste data on external sd card
Why it isn't working when I paste data right in the external sd card and link folder with foldermount.
I can't paste the data on emmc (or internal sd) because I haven't enough space on it. When I touch the pin it colored green and I can see the data on the internal sd. But the game request for downloadin data from internet.
sdcard deleted and not fixed after renaming sdcard.backup
Hello sir,
I am using galaxy trend s7392.
I am usong stock rom only.
after opening the app it asked to patch system, i selected ok.
It replied patching failed. After reboot, sdcard was deleted.
As you mentioned in FAQ i deleted "sdcard" and renamed "sdcard.backup" to "sdcard".
But problem is not solved.
Pls respond to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Do not see the android folders in foldermount
Hey all,
I'm really new to tablets and rooting. I have two Nextbook 7" that I just purchased for my kids to game on it comes with 4.4 kitkat on them. I used Kingo root to root them and made sure they got the SD fix so they could write to SD card. I did a ton of research into getting apps moved to the SD card to make room for more. I got foldermount and purchased the pro version. For whatever reason in storage/sdcard0 I don't see any sub folders. When using ES File Explorer I can see the android folder and it's sub folders of data and obb and the apps within them. In foldermount I don't see any of that. Spent quite a while trying to figure this out with no finds. Lots of internet searching didn't turn up anything for me either. I hear foldermount is the best so I'd like to get it working. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Has anyone found an easy fix for MIUI V5 (4.4.2) ?
I can mount a data folder but not an OBB folder.
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on an old ZTE Blade Q. I purchased the pro version of foldermount and the problem I keep running into is that I can't update my apps through play store - I get an insufficient space message each time I try to update an app.
I have most of my apps mounted on the external SD, all their pins are green and the internal SD storage status shows that 2.21 GB out of 1.3 GB is used.
What am I doing wrong here? I can't benefit from the app if I can't solve this. :/
FolderMount vs link2sd?
i have link2sd pro.. from what i have read FolderMount only allows me to move a small amount of files that link2sd supposedly cant.. i have never tried FolderMount but if it is better id be interested in learning more about it.. does it have automatic linking functions like link2sd does or is everything manual?
mount /data to sdcard0 or extsdcard
hey mate, super grateful for the folder mount! nice one..
been tinkering with mounting from /data/data to sdcard0 or extsdcard but to no avail. I am aware of the warning message when i choose /path, but is there any work around for this?
as of the reason why, i want to install this one game, but it install 1 gb data directly to the device memory, and because of my GT I9100 only has 2 gb partition for the device memory, and i don't want to lose any of my data, i don't know what to do. i even uninstalled every other app but still hasn't reach the requirement.
hope u can help! thanks!
seems like no one is answering questions here anymore? guess ill stay with link2sd.. all the automated functions would have to give it the edge in comparison.. tbh though i havent tried FolderMount but thats due to lack of questions being answered.. basing my opinion solely on experience with link2sd and what i have read about FolderMount
@BHoller, hope I got your question right.
I'm using FolderMount parallel to Link2SD. It works fine. You have to Setup, which folder has to be mounted to which other place on your device (e.g. "Whatsapp/Media" to external SD). In my case I had to create a new folder on my ext SD with a separate File explorer, because FolderMount didn't do it.
Once mounted, FolderMount puts automatically the files to ext SD and does it also automatically after every restart.

I made the jump to Kit Kat and was hoping to clear up the issue with the storage restrictions with something like this. However after reading through the. Apps thread, I had some more questions.
So the MOD on the app thread noted, in fact on the last post I read today (December 19),to come here for questions when he/she was responding to another users post.
Well I'm here and I see a lot of questions from all the posts above........ but the answers just seem to have vanished! I'm certain they are here because the developer specifically noted that one of the strong points for this app is that he wouldn't abandon us and to read over the question and answer section because it would probably answer any questions that we may have, before asking him anything.
Ohhh wait maybe he his answers are just typed in a color font that it is just blending in with the background of all the post here......... right?
I guess I will have to go search for an app that displays this "invisible" text and come back.
Thanks for the redirect MOD!

i went ahead and tested it myself.. there was only 10mb of movable data(im sure a lot more if i uninstalled link2sd).. i dont use my device for games so maybe thats why i couldnt find an advantage.. i have some some ultimate angry birds package and sudoku lol.. thank you though for taking the time to reply to my question and id have to agree in parallel the 2 apps coexist in harmony.. wonder if 1 will step up to overtake the other? lol
Hello! I bought Xperia M4 for my older son. As this is a common problem, like many others, he ran out of free space after he installed a few apps from Google Play. I've already look across the internet to resolve this, but I didn't get the point. So, my question is: If I root his phone and we delete some bloatware, do we get more internal space for apps out of the box? Regards, Zagor
Yes, you get more space, not much but you are able to install the apps, what you really need.
You should also try moving apps to the SD Card, you'll save even more space
Root it and install link2sd.but do not link lib files.
