I love the firesticks, but I have non stop issue is that lack of memory 8GB, that is ate up mostly by the OS. Yes, you can add a usb and format it as internal, but 90% of apps from the amazon store block external install. I always run out of room. I am unlocked and rooted. Just wondering a good app or easy way to format a external and add to internal. Anyone have any thoughts?
Anyone have any idea how to add internal memory? i have not had any luck...

So my tablet is getting pretty full(its an 8gb), and I want to move some of my apps to my 16gb sd card, but I dont know how, I tried the Apps2SD app, but it doesnt seem to work. Can anyone help me out?
No, none of the Froyo/Gingerbread utilities work with Honeycomb due to the different memory arrangement. Here is some more discussion:

Ugh okay, so I can only delete apps to make room for others?
You can back up your apps to .apks on your external sd card, using either ES File Manager or Astro. That makes it easy to delete them and later re-install them.

Its been discussed pretty heavily in other threads, (using search will find them) just moving the app won't do a whole lot for you since the data for the app is still stored in the internal memory. I created a internal to external memory swap found in the development section to help with this problem but using a 16gb external card won't be a whole lot of extra space (although it'll still be better than the 5.7gb of space that the internal memory has for storage).
While it wont help with apps, most often its the apps data that is a problem not the app itself so I use the app GL to SD from the market

You have to be rooted but I find it works great. Its designed to store game data for Gameloft games on your SD card instead of your internal memory since most of them take in the neighborhood of 800MB a piece (or more) but it works for seemingly anything.
So far it has also successfully worked for every game I have used it on including GTAIII, Sonic CD, and Galaxy on Fire 2 to name a few.
It also lets you specify custom mount points for those apps that store their data in a weird space.
is there a way or any app that will free up internal memory app2sd style for the 80 g9 250gb model just curious
The HDD is picked up as an SD card
This theoretically means that any apps that can be stored on an SD card could be stored on the HDD. I'm sure you would see a bit of slow down though going from solid state memory to disc drive, but I guess that would only matter in games.
Tried all the app moving proggies I use on my Android Monte Carlo phone and none seem to work if you look in quick system info from the market it states there is apps2sd being used but only 183mb
This could be a false positive tho
hi
As far as I am aware Honeycomb does not support apps2sd, all apps are stored on the internal memory. All other data can be stored on the external SD/HDD.

F
I wonder if Ics does
There must be some advantages to having all this space apart from storing movies and music
with a usb host cable could i not use a usb flash drive to act like an sd card to give me more flash space for apps and would apps2sd work with this
it would be nice if it worked then i could have the best of both worlds
OK I'm not sure what's going on here.
I have a 32gb memory card in my e4gt. I have my camera set to save on sd card yet my USB storage is pretty low and I don't store much on my phone.
my phone reads
SD Card Total Space: 29.71 gb, Available: 23.37
USB Storage Total Space: 11.50, Available 2.17
Device Memory Available space 1.49gb
I want to know what is taking up so much space on my USB Storage. I have no media on my phone besides the pictures i've taken which is 144 and about 150 i've added via USB from my computer.
Can someone help me understand how my storage is working?
Sorry for such a noob question.

This app will tell you exactly what is using your space up. The UI sucks but it works.

aw dang it! It was gameloft! I selected download to external sd card when I downloaded the files to each game. IS my USB storage considered as external SD to some apps? Would it have worked if I just copied the gameloft folder to my external sd card?
Yeah those gameloft games eat up space real fast. As far as I know, you can't just move the data to your external SD, the game won't be able to find the data then. Try this app, I have never used it but it supposedly allows you to do it. Needs root though.

Ok, so I understand the whole 2GB's System Storage & 11.something Internal Storage that somehow make up 16GB right?
I bought a 32 GB micro SD card that is virtualy not even being used by the phone. I have enough space on the 2gb portion for all of my apps, my problem is that whenever I download an app like GTA3, Six Guns, or Modern Warfare it saves all the date files on the 11gb Internal instead of the 32GB micro SD.
This is so dumb, I have already filled the 11gb's with so much app data and I wanted to know if there is a workaround or something, maby disable the 11GB's Internal storage so that I can have 32gbs for all the data dump. Anybody had this problem???
Its very annoying right, I cant get link2sd to work either because of the way this s2 is partitioned. Depending on what ROM or version Android your running you might be able to unmount internal sd in storage options, or maybe try the data bind method thats somewhere in these forums.

bump...also interested in a solution for this.

Yes. It is very annoying I know how you feel.
Well, the 16gb internal storage would definitely not be enough for a tablet... Is there any way to reverse the internal and the external storage using Xposed? And what kind of format on the sd card should I use, FAT32 or exFAT? Thank you!

No, but there are apps you can use to extend the internal storage to the external.
However it always suprises me when people say that 16gb is not enough.
I have nothing but apps and app data on the internal storage, loads of apps installed and still plenty of space for more.
Everything else goes on the sdcard.
ExFat.

Sometimes apps like Facebook can take up a few hundred of MBs and the average size of the apps I installed is about 100 MBs plus some cache with them... And the actual usable storage on the tab s is much less than 16gb, so once I installed too many apps, the shortage of internal storage comes... Btw What kind of apps can I use to extend the internal storage to the SD card? Or is there any way to reverse the storage without using the Xposed?
Link2sd Pro and Foldermount being 2 that I've used. Link2sd Pro being my preference.
