so there is something weird going on my phone
when i install apps on my phone it should automatically install them on the sd card
cuz i did that thing when i installed the rom with the app2sd
anyway
sometimes when i install apps it suddenly installs them on the internal memory of the phone and not the external which is the sd card
and i dont know why
so i tried to download app2sd manually and try to move them to the sd card
but its not letting me
and because i have only 10 mb free on the internal memory so i cant download anything and i cant get sms and more stuff
and ideas what to do???
App2sd uses some internal memory still for cache and stuff. App2sd doesn't mean everything to do with apps will go on your SD card, just means some of it will. If the apps arn't actually going onto the SD card then reinstall app2sd. Personally, app2sd is useless and causes more problems than solves them.
but if i delete the app2sd it wont change anything and those apps that still installed on the internal memory will still be there so what should i do??
If you want applications to automatically install on your external storage (SD Card), why no try this: Click?
great man thx alot its working

So, anyone got to work a Widgets installed on SD card?
I have 16GB SD Card (FAT32 15GB, EXT3 1GB), anytime i install a widget to my SD Card its just not showing up whenever im trying to add it on desktop (neither by tapping main screen or home/menu/add).
Even rebooting phone wont fix it.
Homever when i move the widget to phone internal memory it shows up without problem.
Is there any way installing widgets on SD Card and get it to work from there without any troubles?
This is kinda annoying TBH.
Or alternatively, is there any ROM that would "fix" this issue?
Well seeing as you have an EXT3 partition, anything you Get from the market will automatically install on that partition so there is no need to 'move to SD'
I think u didnt understand, i didnt mean its annoying to move apps from internal memory to SD card, i meant apps that installs on SD card like widgets doesnt work (you cant add them to desktop) unless you move them to internal phone memory (which is kinda small).
Widgets would NOT work, moved to SD card, it's android patform limitation.
So, I got my device s-off and rooted, was pretty excited when I had those stuff done.
But now,
Internal memory is still an issue, I read on xda like, removing the bundled or stock software comes with the phone won't make the internal memory get increased because those files are stored somewhere else that won't effect the total usable internal memory. Plus removing stock apps will stop using OTA updates.
So is there a trick that I can increase the internal memory of my phone? I already use the default save location setted to sd card, and moving apps to sd but it always leaves some files at internal memory.
I read somewhere like, I can make phone use my sd card's some part as internal memory, I saw a rom offering that but except that is there any program offering this without flashing rom?
And I have some knowledge about Linux, so I was wondering do I have a chance to use symlink command (symbolic link) to link my internal memory to sd card ?
Best way is to use a ROM with Darktremor Apps2SD preinstalled. I don't know whether it will work if you install it now.
The best alternative, in my opinion, is to format a partition of your SD card to ext3 with this guide and then use Link2SD.The partition can be as big as you want, but I believe that 500 MB should be enough.
It will earn you some space but not as much as the Darktremor Apps2SD will.
Thanks for the answer, I used the guide and Link2SD, but i am a bit confused here, I also use apps 2 sd program,
So for using less possible internal memory of my phone,
Should I install apps to phone memory and then link to sd card with link2sd
or
Install app in sd card (or move it with link2sd to sd card) then link?
Right now one of apps shown as Linked -> SD card. So is this the best scenario?
Because when I choose move to SD in Apps 2 SD, Link2SD says move to SD also, so it kinda like they conflict
To tell you the truth I'm not completely sure for what is better, but what I did was to first link all of them (application, dalvik & library if possible) and then move them to sd card with App2SD. I think there was a slight difference to the free space but nothing noticeable. Sorry, but I'm no expert, so everything I did was by trial and error!
I went from stock Froyo on my HTC Desire and just installed MIUI 2.10.12 Jelly Bean v2.7 (which I "think" is the latest version for my device?).
I did so simply because I could no longer put up running out of internal storage memory. Before even restoring a single file from my Froyo backup, I am already out of internal memory! I have plenty of SD mem, so I tried Apps2SD, Links2SD... there is nothing to move to SD! According to them, anything that can be moved, has been. My SD card was ext2 partitioned a long time ago.
What I'd really like to know is.... did I pick a good ROM or should I have gone with "ICS Evolv", which I heard is better for making room on internal memory? I'm currently trying Titanium Backup, because it can free up dalvik cache. But if Titanium, Apps2SD, Links2SD don't solve the problem of regularly running out of internal memory, what will? Evolv? I think the solution might be to trick the system into shadowing internal RAM on to the SD card, so that the internal storage area gets to be much larger. But I don't know if that can be done, or if I properly prepared the SD card to do it.

I put that version onto an HTC Desire, and likewise Google Maps wouldn't even update without running out of memory. When building the phone I followed an excellent guide online guide (on this website) forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 - step 5 - create an extra 1GB partition, then use a2sd to move apps to that new partition. You may have to move the contents of the SD card to a PC, do the formatting with gparted and move the SD contents back to the SD card.
Have now got over 150MB free space, even with loads of apps installed. Has to be installed via a terminal emulator, but is actually part of MIUI. Think I just typed 'a2sd install' from the su prompt in terminal emulator.
Has made MIUI 2.7 viable on that phone!
Hi guys,
I have searched but cant find anything that matches my questions. I updated to 6.0 the other day and I formatted my SD Card as internal storage. It went ok and stated that 400mb could be moved which I did.
My issues are that I was led to believe once this was all set up any app could be moved to the SD card but thats not the case apps like Facebook cant be moved...is this the same for everyone?
And more importantly when I download a new app it installs to internal as default but then I can choose to move it manually to the Sandisk SD. Surely they should install the SD as default or split at least? at this rate the internal storage will continue to get full and nothing on the SD that's meant to be treated in the same way.
Any advice would be great!
Thank you
Anyone? someone else must be using the SD as internal memory?
me other issue
some apps when i move to SD it will automatic disabled "LIKE COC Instagram facebook, etc"
and
some apps in the SD it display disabled but i can run the apps.
and some are in all apps show on SD card , when i go to SD tab it dont see the apps "LIKE fun Fit"
Trying to root my phone but got locked out for a few days, can anyone confirm that you can move apps to SD card after rooting, tried another non-root way that turned your sd-card to internal storage but couldnt see how much storage was being used by what app so if its anything like that Im prolly gonna hold off on rooting.
