After I link an app in links2sd I go to manage applications and I see that the app I just linked is on my phones internal memory. Isn't it supposed to be on my sd cards second partition?
Link2SD creates a link on the internal storage. The phone is not aware that it's just a link, and reports that the apps are on the internal storage. This is perfectly normal for Link2SD.
But after I link a few apps it says insufficient storage. Doesn't that mean links2sd is actually using my internal storage

Reboot your phone. You should find that the free space has increased.
I rebooted and it's been stuck on the boot screen for 2 hours
Reboot into recovery and wipe both the cache and dalvik cache, then reboot again.
I rebooted and my internal memory is still the same. Also if the links trick the phone into thinking they're on the internal storage will they also trick applications like disk usage?

You can view the /data/sdext2 partition in DiskUsage. You can also check in Link2SD "storage Info".
In the settings for Link2SD, make sure Auto Link is turned on and also enable Link application file, Link dalvik-cache file, and Link library files.
Thanks for your help

Before you create a link to the SD card, the apps have to be on the internal memory, maybe you had them on the SD card and that was the problem.
Why what happens if they're on the sd card

Don't know, I've just read it somewhere. I'm sure nothing bad, maybe nothing and it will work properly, but all my app were on the internal memory before I created a link to the SD card, and everything works fine and I still have a lot of space on the internal.
I am also facing the reported issue and don't understand why does it keeps on reducing my internal memory and if I place my apps on internal memory and then link then what's the use since in one way or other I am consuming my internal memory.
Can anyone help.

Which is the best rom to free up internal memory as the stock does not leave too much spare
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
CM7 from alquez
Takes only 80 MB of your internal memory. So around 400 MB over for apps etc.
Sense rom gives you 120 MB for apps etc.
Apps 2SD gives you more space, but internal memory is faster.
You can also keep more memory for music, videos, ... on your sd card.

I had that going myself but eventually it just stopped letting me download more apps off the marketplace, I cant remember the exact error message, so I reverted to stock, any idea's what caused that to happen?

If it was "insufficient memory" it was googles fault. The market was screwed. Idk if its fixed with the new update, but if not, just go to downloaded apps, find the market and hit uninstall updates. Google auto updates sometimes so it's a quick fix, but it works.

When you partition the sdcard, what exactly does it let you do? Can you have a separate partition for storage and put all your apps on the other partition, like move EVERYTHING so your phone has more memory? Also, how would you do this?

It allows you to move cache and apps. Have a look at jikintauru rom if you want it or just Google data2sd.

hello all!
i did partition SD Card with Rom manager and now i want to revert it because the SD card shows that it has less capasity then it should (the original capacity minus the partition).
so how can i revert it?
Thank you!
No it doesn't show the partition, its a partition called SD ext on which you can store apps and data freeing up internal memory using a script like dta2sd. Some roms have it built into them to use it if its there but some don't which Rom are you using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925982
Also there's an app to go with it called a2sdgui and makes all the basic commands easier.

It'ssupposed to show that way!nothing wrong!
For reverting just go to settings --storage--format/erase SD card (you will lose the 200mb extra as well as all data)

That's a good size. Now install data2sd by jikanturu and you have more internal memory.
good enough?

Swap is fake ram. With class 10 SD card you had to use at least 128mb-256mb because wfs have only 512mb ram
Don't bother with swap, you don't need it. Swap is just using disk space as RAM. But since the SD card is significantly slower than RAM (even if it is a class 10), you won't be having a good time. I've got like 120 apps installed on my phone and I still have 100+MB of RAM available. You don't need swap. As for sd-ext, don't bother with all the many different scripts, the easiest way is just to download S2E from the Play Store, it does it all for you
do we need swap? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
It's up to your choice.
my sdcard has 128mb swap.

Hi, I have a 4GB (Class 10) memory card. (872 MB -Ext4 Partition, 700 MB -Linux Swap and 2300 MB on Standard Partition) and using Link2SD. I have installed 30 apps and got only 45MB internal memory left.
But I see you got more internal memory.
1. How is this possible?
2. Can I now move on to S2E? If yes then how?
Thanks.

The best way to do it would be to backup all your apps and data with titanium backup, then reinstall your rom from scratch. Make your sd-ext partition bigger if you wish, then install S2E, let it mount your sd-ext and then restore everything with titanium backup.

Could be kernel related and/or format related. Works fine with flars kernel and any sense rom with my exFAT-formatted SDcard, does not work so with GPE and flars GPE kernel on this SDcard.
Usually after installation FolderMount will do a check on your SDcard and offer you to reboot your device if changes are necessary. After reboot it should be good to go.
Else you should read here: Mounts2SD

At the beginning you select what folders you want moving to sdcard, you.can use the built in app analyser which shows what folders take the most space, also when you buy premium you can mount almost anything, I even mounted the full internal sdcard to the external but it's not recommended
No it does not format sdcard, the app also fixes android permission for 3rd party apps to write to external sd

How did you get it to mount the whole internal sd? I've been trying to get the whole internal mounted, and it just keeps saying the selected folder is the whole folder, please select sub directories and won't let me continue. Or did you do it for each separate sub directory.
