Hi,
I need your help. I've got a rooted desire running Oxygen 2.0RC ROM (thanks AdamG).
Question is...I keep running out of space when installing apps. I've seen references to "A2SD and EXT2/3/4" and so forth around the forum.
Can someone explain to me what they are and how I can somehow fool my desire into thinking my 16Gb micro SD card is part of its internal memory. I've already moved as many apps as I can to SD card but I keep running out of space.
Is it even possible to fool the desire into thinking the SD card is internal memory??
thanks in advance!
First of all, you're posting this in the wrong forum- this belongs in the Q n A section.
What you need to do is to use an A2SD+ paritition. Download Rom Manager, and make a partition with 512mb and 0mb swap. This will "extend" your internal storage and give you loads more space.

Thanks Samleung.
Just tried that. Seems to have worked so far. Am i right to assume that I have now extended my space by 512mb?
It's not necessarily an extension per say. From now on, your apps will still be installed on the internal memory, but with greatly reduced memory needs as it will be installed to the 512mb partition as well. Download "Quick System Info" to see how much of the 512mb has been used.
I suggest you reinstall your rom, just to be extra sure everything is installed there.
Remember to post in the correct section! PM me if you have any more questions.
How to increase internal storage in lg optimus me p350
(note : Your phone should be free from a2sd,s2e,link2sd etc.)
do following steps to increase internal storage
Copy Ungaze data2sd v4b5 to memory card (http://www.filestube.com/eF21t3sFw7a3EVNFqcMye5/Ungaze-Data2sd-v4b5.html)
2.Go to custom recovery mod
3.You will see option Partition sdcard go there
4.Partition sd
5.Swap size : 32 default Ext2 size : 512 (you can put more if you have 1 gb card you can put 512 mb . 512 mb will be deducted from memory card )
6.Partition will take approximate 5 min
7.Now reboot
8.Now second time go to recovery mod

are you getting erorr like E:can't mount /dev/blockmmcblk02.
And which rom are using pax0r cm7.2 or arc xp
yes , i used xperia arc , now trying paxor's cm7.2

not able to mount sd-ext in paxor's 7.2 either , any fix for that error (can't mount dev/block/mmcblk0p2(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(no such device )) what can i do ?
---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
are you getting the same error ?
is this for increasing internal storage or for increasing the amount of ram?thanks

when i first saw it , it was on paxor's cm 7.2 page, and it said something about ram but i'm not sure anymore .

I think it is a problem with this metod , we need this cause if someone ports ics < not far from that , our ram will be almost full , 140 mb to run ics , so we need this
Ive tried it and Ive got an error: E:can't mount /dev/blockmmcblk02. Im using paxor rom.Any ideas?
I don't think this is for ram increase , it's for internal memory
---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------
got to go back to swapper for root
how it work
in easy words
first he make 2 parts of sd card. First part for user and 2nd part for app or system memory.
In 2nd part you can store your apps or more.
2nd part add more memory for system. Which we have only 170.
So it give you more performance.
This is tested. On test benchmark result is 2180[antutu][not tested by me. I don't have p350 phone]
i just shere this guide. If you facing any error then don't try. but this not work on stock sd card. For this work you need to buy new sd card from store and this sd card will have class 6 or higher because lower sd card not work.
Anyway to get the memory used for partition back ?

For memory which sd card you are using stock sd from lg which is 2 gb or new sd from store.
If you are using stock sd then it will not work. Or you are using new sd then what size of this sd and what class?
And if you getting big problem then cantact at m.facebook.com/nmbayu?refid=7&m_sess=soBfXoV6-ZVHpTpgI this man. Her name is Nurma Maha Bayu maker of this guide. I already said this is not my guide. I just share on xda because Nurma Maha Bayu don't have xda account.
Thanks for guide.

Hi,
I dont get this mod working for me.
first at step 10, i get an error when trying to mount sd-ext .
(i dont know if thats a problem because the mod only changes stuff in the system)
but after applying the patch i get a bootloop.
I found out that i can fix it with "chmod -x /system/etc/init.d/02ungaze_init"
and after booting up "source /system/etc/init.d/02ungaze_init",
but this way is to inconvenient, why does it not work on startup.
Edit:
I foud a solution, i renamed the file from 02ungaze.... to 22ungaze..... , now it works fine
works, but the swap - 0, to fix it? That is to swap and Heightening memory was that
Hi,
I have Android 4.1.2 and trying to move apps from phone storage which is only 2GB to USB storage (11.25 GB). But for every app, movable or not when I try to move - hit the "move to sd card" button- . It says "unable to move app. Note enough storage space".
I don't have external SD card right now and I only want to move them to internal. Do you know what can I do?
Thanks

U need to change where the phone stores data from ext SD card to internal SD card, u should be able to do it with an app like ROM toolbox, u need to be rooted though, or go buy a sdcard, u can get a 8gb at Walmart for like $12

How do I change that? So far as much as I tried with app2sd, titanium, and rom toolbox, they only let me choose between phone and external. they don't even consider internal sd card.

All the roots apps are for moving apps only to external sd card and to change the default storage location to either internal storage or external sd card. None have the option to change it to internal USB storage.

See idk because when I do app to SD on my ROM it goes to my USB storage, which is the internal SD card, 11.9gb, not to my external SD card I have to manually put the apps on external if I want so theoretically it should be putting them there by default, what ROM are u on? Are u rooted? Ever use an app like storage swap or anything? Shouldn't be installing apps in ur system partition, 2gb, that should only be for system apps..?

What I'm saying is I don't know because ur system, no matter what shouldn't be installing user apps in the system partition, my best advice would be to back up what u want from the phone and use Odin to do a complete wipe and unroot to stock 4.1.2 ROM, this will erase all data on the phone and restore it to stock status, from there u can reroot and use TB to get ur apps back, somewhere along the lines it sounds like ur system got confused or something because it shouldn't be putting anything in that 2gb partition, that's only for system and system app data not user, that's the whole reason to have it partitioned off, if it was me that's what I would do, just start over and see if that was it, sorry wish I could help more but I don't have ur device in front of me so I don't know

Thanks for your reply. I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

Actually, the options under Apps2SD in Rom Toolbox Pro are: 1) Auto, 2) Internal & 3) SD card!!
So? anyone could finally move the apps to the INTERNAL memory (those almost 12 GB) and not to the real external SD card?
Cheers!
Not me, but apparently the user above you was able.

I tried to use ROM Toolbox's app manager to move apps to the famous "internal SD" of the GS2.
When I move apps to SD (without an actuel SD card), I get no error but the app seems to have simply vanished from the phone with no memory actually freed on the system partition. Does someone understand what happens ?

What is your ROM? Most of my apps go to internal sd storage. The only apps that are on internal are system/came with ROM. I do believe data resides internally on the 2gb partition, but rest is on internal SD. Perhaps, you need a fresh install.

Okay, I use ROM Toolbox Pro. I uninstalled an app that was on internal partition, went to ROM toolbox> app2sd and it has three options: auto, internal, and SD. I selected SD, then reinstalled app, and then checked, app is now on internal sd, (not extsd).

Because I am sure I am not clear, internal partition = 2gb phone storage/internal storage, internal SD = 11.29 GB SD that resides on phone. My apps are going to internal SD when I select SD in ROM toolbox options, NOT to the removable external SD card I put in my phone
The problem with other app2sd apps is that they try to install to external SD, hence why your apps disappear, (for those apps, you need ext SD partitioned with iirc ext4). Try romtoolbox first, open, go to configure apps2sd, and it should recognize your onboard SD card)

Well, it is possible it is the stock ROM. You could try a
factory reset in your custom recovery and see what happens or full wipe and install a custom stock ROM, (backup 1st, make sure you have appropriate recovery version for installing ROM, etc).
Apps to ExtSdCard
Since I have a 16 GB ExtSdCard, I want to install and run apps from that on Android 4.1.2 on a Samsung GalaxyTab2 7. I am using Directory Bind now, which can't seem to work with all apps, so I am wondering if anyone has come up with or knows about a more perfect solution...it was no problem with Android 2.3 on my old rooted phone, but no so with this rooted Tablet...
Is there any 4.4.4 ROM for S4 Mini that can manage SD card by default ?
I mean thge possibility to move app in the SD card

U need to install this app from play store. ::: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...e.fmount&hl=en
When u start the app for the 1st time and grant root access it prompts to fix a storage related issue. Choose yes. Then u can move parts of apps onto sd card.
But if u want to move large games... then u need to install xposed framework and ObbOnSD module. Here is a video on XDA-TV that will help you...
