How good is App2SD? - HTC Wildfire S

I've been using DT-A2SD (Dark Tremor) app 2 SD. I'm satisfied enough. But, since it's not developed anymore, I'm looking for another alternative.
How good are those app 2 SD scripts? In my HTC WFS:
- DT-A2SD eats internal memory 126MB for 369MB SD-EXT (Dalvik cache is on SD-EXT). This makes 1:3 ratio.
What about INT2EXT+? It says the ratio is 1:5 *)
*) According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124, 100mb internal is needed for every 500mb sd-ext (INT2EXT+/INT2EXT4+)
Has anybody proven it? If the ratio (1:5) is true, I would be glad to migrate to INT2EXT+

I was wondering the same thing. I was always use to dta2sd and I like that there is an app to control it from the phone(Apps2sdGUI) but I see that no one here uses it.

Tested
I finally use INT2EXT+ and sadly it doesn't work as expected. My ROM is often crashed on around 342MB (see the attachment). It think it's not a stable App2SD solution. It doesn't tell you when the internal memory is full. Sometimes, it tells you when trying to install an app. But sometimes, it simply crashed to notify you that your internal ROM is full.
I think DT-A2SD is better and more stable.
This is taken when using INT2EXT+ in almost full memory. The number of apps is almost as much as of using DT-A2SD.

My icon will becomes like this every time I reboot my DHD.Anyone facing the same problem?
Is it a recurring problem? And it's specifically affect certain application? Backup, wipe data, uninstall and restore in TB should do the trick.
It happens when the application is in sd card. Move them to phone memory or just wait for few minutes. They usually come on their own. Happens to my DHD too.
Oops, my bad. The TB method only works for duplicated icon and (some) missing icon cases. Some of the apps are defaulted to move to SD card (large size issue). And yes, normally it will appear after few seconds (minutes) after reboot. I'm not sure how to fix yours.
Ok,I just moved these apps to internal memory,and I thinked the problem solved,so which mean my SD card got problem?

Owh, I get it. The read speed of your SD card is somewhat a bit slow. But eventually the icons will show, right? It only happens when you reboot your phone and it will grab all the data from the SD card after the error check. There's nothing to worry about.
Yup,I have a class 4 SD card ,so should I change for class 10 SD card XD.1 more question,a slow SD card can affect phone performance(overall ) ?

You can use it just fine as is it now. But having a faster SD card will boost the data read and write, plus it will greatly improve application handling in SD card. Video recording in higher definition is made possible and smoother. Photos in the gallery will be loaded faster.
Ok,understood, appreciate for your help bro,thanks!

Internal space question

I really want to get the inc2. But with the internal space being only what 2gb. How many apps can u install before u run into problems. I know u can have a 16 gb card. But all apps u can't move to sd. Even if u do some portion is still left on the internal. Well any feedback will help me make the move thanks.

It's 1gb and I have tons of apps..and most apps over 5mb can be moved to sd card.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Do u have over 50 apps on ur device. I'm just trying to get and idea.
I've had about 80 apps and i still had space left. Like knipp said, you can move most apps to SD nowadays.

Good thanks for the input
Here you go. This should give you a pretty good idea of the storage capabilities, couple of screenshots from my phone. 103 user apps I didn't realize I had that many

no need to worry about internal storage. I would be more considered about sd card. Most people put their music and videos on the sd-card anyways. Plus you can expand it to up to 32gb. There aren't many that allow that.

Speed of internal memory

Is there anyone test the speed of internal memory? Or know any tool to check it?

For what do you need to know that?

I would like to see if it's worth to move some data to the sdcard (by a2sd).

It is because of the severely limited internal storage. Asking that question the other way around has more sense - is it worth to move some data back on internal? Yes if you have a <class6 sd card.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
Thanks, I know it's limited... so we have to use a2sd.. what if I don't have many app... will the speed affected when i move out my data ? it improves or get worst ?
I just want to be sure, because no one had reported the speed of internal memory. For some a2sd, they move everything to sdcard which I don't know the outcome without knowing the speed of both side. One can try it out.. but knowing before doing experiment is good as well.
Looking at your rom, why don't you try Mounts2sd update?
I don't think there is a benchmark for internal memory anywhere. But without doubt
internal memory is faster than SD Card. Nonetheless, Class 6/10 won't normally have an effect on the phone. Depending what your transfer rates(read speed/write speed), it will almost be comparable to the internal memory speed performance.

Get more storage on device by moving apps to system partition

I've tried to move most of my apps to the ROM (system/apps) partition so that I can have more room for the media on the storage partition but some apps like music and poweramp don't seem to work.
Are there any guidelines to know which apps would work in this way?
I used a file manager to do this. Ghost Commander using root mode.

I cant answer your question but i dont think you get any benefit to moving the apps from one place to another....
From this link....
With the unified storage model we introduced in Honeycomb, we share your full 32GB (or 16GB or whatever) between app data and media data. That is, no more staring sadly at your 5GB free on Nexus S when your internal app data partition has filled up -- it's all one big happy volume.
Im using AOKP ROM but not sure that matters.
I gained free space on internal and lost space on system as reported by TiBu . The low storage warning went away also.

Some apps work some dont. I'm just moving APKs. Anything else to help apps that aren't working on the ROM partition?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I'm not really grasping the point here.. I mean, most apps are only ~3mb or so. Is moving a few of them over to the /system partition really going to solve your storage issues? That's like one song per app transferred.
To each his own, I suppose.
But the storage is effectively all one partition... and the apps are so small...
Some apps like games are 10mb and even larger.
Yes there is not a lot to gain but I want to use the ~500mb free space on the ROM partition.
Those on Verizon might not care but 16GB is not much for the GSM version.

Very true, I think it is ridiculous to put a permanent warning out if you still got 500Mb of free space. My Nexus One don't even has that much storage combined and only starts bugging me when at 20MB and less. I could live with the warning sign, but stopping synchronization with my services is a huge fail by the OS.

Always Awake

I need info on how to solve this issue.
In the battery history it shows that the phone is always awake.

You didn't post your battery stats but sound like you have a rogue application. The list may show an app using a high percentage of battery but what you're looking for is stay awake time. The app may not be at the very top but possibly consuming enough % to rival screen, Android or Android OS. Just tap the app on the list to see it's stay awake time.
Once you find the application keeping the phone awake. Decide if you need it. If not, freeze or remove if it's not a core app. Otherwise, clear data and cache for the application and restore it manually and see if it behaves.
If still not allowing deep sleep, try clearing data and cache again then removing the application and installing again. If still not sleeping, you may have to wipe user data. But if it's an application that has an update, you can remove the one in system if it's not a core application. See this link for apps safe to remove or freeze. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56201863&postcount=3

micro SD card or contents? Haven't had this issue but found this link
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...ioGICQ&usg=AFQjCNH6rd5Z2TIXUhn4k3GsBrodnLK-DQ
One poster mentioned a new 64GB sdcard installed caused same issue; I wonder if he had tried formatting to something other than exFAT? I read somewhere that 64GB and 128GB should only be formatted exFAT for Note 4.
Edit: the 64 and 128GB micro sdcard most likely ships new with exFAT format; I know that I didn't have to format my Samsung EVO 64GB sdcard.
