App2sd - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Does the Note 3 Pro allow for app2sd?
Thinking of getting the 16gb model if it is possible. Since the extra gig of ram doesnt really add to much performance.
Also, whats the general consensus in this forum, 2gb or 3gb model? and why?
Thanksss

No
Thinking of getting the 16gb model if it is possible. Since the extra gig of ram doesnt really add to much performance.
It matters a lot while multi-tasking, MIUI is RAM hungry & frequently kills background apps.
Also, whats the general consensus in this forum, 2gb or 3gb model? and why?
I am using the 2GB model, 800MB free RAM & around 10GB storage available on 1st boot. I had to flash custom ROM to get rid of RAM management issues.
If you are a heavy user, use 4-5 apps simultaneously & install a lot of apps get the 3GB else 2GB one will suffice.

Can we set the external sd card to be the default location for whatspp and other apps after rooting Redmi Note 3?

Nope, Xiaomi never supported App2SD even after rooting. Its a restriction imposed by MIUI.

Boring, was thinking to use my 128Gb card for this...

Try xposed framworks...

so, if we were able to get a non MIUI ROM, can we get app2sd to work then?

Yeah, I think it's possible.

You can use XinternalSD (with XPOSED... root and xposed framework needed)
This app can change internal patch to SD with all or some apps...
whatsapp media direct to SD
here we go maps direct to SD
titanium backup files direct to SD
work fine with games but i dont recomend this.
dont move apps... move apps data only

Vibrant app memory confusion

Friends
I have searched on numerous fronts but have never found the solution to my problem. The issue is, on the vibrant I have 2 GB internal memory for app installation, with 512 mb ram (I think) to run the apps, in addition to 16 GB of internal storage for files and what not.
However, having 1.4 GB 'app' memory free currently, whenever I install any further apps, some of the existing apps start to crash/restart whenever I need to use them. For example, I use LPP, and when I install some more apps on the phone, LPP homescreen icons disappear whatever action I do (open an app, use an app, etc), and then they reload for about 15-20 seconds when I go to the homescreen again. I have about 35-55 MB RAM free at any given time.
My question is, why give 2 GB app installation memory when you still cannot use it to install apps since they start giving you all sort of problems? I am running stock t-mobile eclair and have recently rooted my phone.
you know what, i think all you need is a task killer or clean your phone or something.. just find a way to free up some space.. 35-55MB is hella low.
Hmm, whats the normal free ram for stock 2.1 vibrant supposed to be? I have not tinkered around with my phone much so am wondering how it could have gotten low to that extent. All the apps that I use are also well known and from reputable developers...
Got any clues?
dunno when i was running 2.1 i was always at 80-120 free range with apps running..
try getting a task killer and kill all running apps..
also check settings > applications > running services > tap and kill processes you dont need running
This still does not answer my question about why there is 2 GB of app memory available...? regardless of RAM..?

Incase people want 2 gigs worth of apps? and if i remember right you have 16gigs storage and then 2gigs of that is partitioned for apps

Yeah, but then what about what I wrote in my first post? It does not make sense if you can 'theoretically' install 2 GB worth of apps but renders the phone useless in function?
Anyone who is actually using close to 2 GB worth of memory for apps on vibrant/Galaxy S?? Would love to hear what you have to say.

Or you can use swap on your phone, but start with efficient usage on your phone and delete all of bloatware.
P.S.: Remember that swap requires root and its NOT as fast as internal RAM. For efficient swap you need class 8 or 10 sdcard.

How to know my sd card in which class? :s do i need to replace?
It is written on your SD - Card.
Common class is 4 - the slowest 5 mb write speed - 9 reading.
Look onto your SD-Card there is number written on it.
The speed rating can be deceptive. Just getting a Sandisk card will get you good performance. In terms of running programs or even CM7 off of MicroSD the random reads and writes are most important for performance. If you check the figures at this page; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjPE3ZAD2eVudE9vZmQ3aHlfTkFvU2J4ZUplRDJQTEE#gid=0 you will see that the new Sandisk class 6 and 10 ultras and the Samsung class 10's are really very good.

Is this true - internal storage only 2 gb???

I saw this on another forum. Is this true? It would make it unusable to me, and I just ordered one before seeing this. Do we not have at least 12 GB free for apps?
"..an issue I do not know how to resolve. It comes w 4.3 pre installed but the internal storage is not unified (due to USB storage enabled) so just under 2GB is allocated as app storage. This being the setup on older android version we had the option to move individual apps to the secondary partition b within the app option but this being 4.3 this option does not exist so this really puts a damperbn usability of this device."

I'm guessing this is the US variation of the Mate 2 you are taking about. I already have a lot of apps installed and it's still telling me I have 4.2 gigs available for app storage. Hope that answers your question

If you add what it says is available to the what it says I'm using, it totals 6.81 GB. I doubt that includes system apps, as I said I have a lot installed. I had to keep them all on the phone because the ones I moved to the SD card the widgets didn't load on restart and I wasn't getting notifications.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks!
But 6.81 is pretty bad - some 16gb phones have around 12 gb for apps. What in the world is taking up so much memory? I need to install copilot maps which are over 4 gb plus all the other software I use. Don't know if this is going to work for me. Heck - I have almost 5.52 gb free for apps on a 8gb moto-g phone

Well, screen shots of my internal file system storage. My phone is rooted so I could free up more space deleting some system apps I don't use like Facebook but people had to reinstall the system apps they deleted to get the last update to install, and I don't feel like messing with that. I just disabled them. Can you install your co-pilot apps on the SD card?
Sent from my MT2L03
No, I don't think the maps can be loaded on sd card.
Darn - I purchased without checking this out - figured if my 8 gb phone had 5.52 gb free a 16 gb phone would have around 12. My fault for not doing proper research. Everyone was saying how much they like the phone. and I let that sway me. Guess I will send it back as 6.81 gb free in 2014 is almost $99 phone territory.
Looks like copilot is downloading fine. I'll let you know if I have issues after it completes.
It gives you the option to use extsd as default storage.
You are showing 12.69 GB available internal storage for apps. Is this correct? Or is it the 10.50 that is available to apps?
Yes 12.69 available. But when I go into settings > manage apps it states 5.8gb for apps. I believe it uses internal/external for app data, so I believe you'll be OK
check in the copilot options. maybe it has the ability to choose where to save the map data
NOKIA HERE does ... and its awesome btw

best solution to expand memory on 16gb model?

hi,
I'm thinking about buying a note 3 pro and the 16gb / 2gb version is really cheap right now. I think I won't have problems having 2gb ram instead of 3gb, I rarely multitask and most of the time I close programs which I don't use. but I don't know about the 16gb internal space ... seems really little. is there some way to merge internal + sd without android 6.0? or some other way?
Well, I use an application called foldermount it moves heavy game files to SD card.. ROOT REQUIRED.. also try installing aosp ROM it has a lot of bloatware removed so has more internal space available

does foldermount work on any game?
while charging my phone reaches 45 Celsius as given in entering info is it normal?
Foldermount won't help. Only obb to sd xposed module or aosp where you can move every app you want. It's funny because on miui you can't ?
Foldermount can only move big game data files..
Sorry for necroposting but maybe someone still will need the answer, so there it is:
Apps2SD, a brilliant app for doing this job
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro&hl=pl
It also has a free version.
With this you can move .apk files of the games or other apps,
also OBB of big games are movable to the microSD card.
It moves the files to the external microSD card and creates links to the moved content, so the phone
can "think" it's in internal
I'm using this on my Redmi Note 2 and Redmi 3 and the games and apps are working without problems.
But be sure to use a class 10 microSD card, not any lower speed. (And check the condition of your microSD card
before you put it in the phone, for example with free HD Tune on Windows.
You may not want using a card with bad sectors )
Apps2SD it's convenient, reliable when you set it correctly, and it has a nice interface i think.
Not a bloatware and it has some very useful options like partitioning tool, storage info (space) check,
and a backup tool!
Also very good help thread here on XDA
As a 16GB kenzo user, DON'T BUY THE 16GB ONE AND GO FOR THE 32GB VERSION
Here are some of the difficulties:
Google Camera mod: You're gonna definitely use it when you have this device. It doesn't have a save2sd option so you can't shoot videos for long. Add in mind that more ram let's you process hdr+ photos with higher quality. On lower ram devices you have a higher chance of F.C.
Games: You already know.
Multitasking: Definitely 3GB ram is a better choice. I wish I had enough money to buy the 32GB variant. I can't run another app if I'm playing some kind of game. The game automatically closes.

How many Apps do your 5x has and how to manage them ?

How many apps in total do you run on your KIW - 5x device ? How to manage the space in it ?
Is the space sufficient in it ? 10Gb ( Both On Stock and Custom ROM's )
Help me to allocate space to RUN apps on huge ? I have my 32Gb Class 10 SD Card.

How sufficient space on this device is, depends only on you and your usage...
For example, in my case: I have 100+ apps (just apps, no games; some of those are realy heavy apps, like Lightroom Mobile or Photoshop Express, or use huge amounts of data - K9 with 5 mail accounts, synced Firefox etc. and have no support for external storage) on my Honor 5X. Around 5GB of internal free atm, but I do have a 64GB SD in place for pictures, music, files, backups, downloads etc. My previous device too was with 16GB total/10GB available internal memory, with 32GB SDcard, it was more than enough for my needs.
I'm always going with SD card for user data and music, and internal for app installs and necessary data. Whenever an app can use external storage (navigation, camera, etc.), I'll configure it that way - maps are usually huge (HERE maps for EU itself are ~20GB, for example; for my region only maps are ~5GB), camera can save on external - safer for you to backup and keep if you're flashing, anyway etc.

I have 50-60 apps installed. 9 of them are games. Not much size but 2K17 is 2.5GB. Internal storage is quite enough for me. I still have 3GB left. For your storage allocations you can use Link2SD. Been using that since Gingerbread days.

RR. Partition your SD and mount it as /data/sdext2 with Link2SD.

1. Whatsapp
2. FB
3. XDA
4. Hike
5. Share It
6. Huawei Wear

Internal storage is enough for me to have all these.
However I clean my whats app and Hike images and Videos regularly.
