[Q] Some questions

I've been reading this forum for about a week or so. I was wondering what that "partition" means. I have cm 7.2 but haven't done that.
Other question is that when I use SetCPU to overclock my gio then when I reach to about 900 MHz, my Gio freezes and I have to take out my battery to reboot. It happens always I try to overclock.
If you need more information then ask
P.S. I have Galaxy Gio S5660 CM 7.2 RC-1 Patch 4

Partition is a part wich you can create via an program on computr to crrate a partitioon on your sd card..
Then data and caches can be moved there using root acces and special app..
So you get more internal memory free.
Only thing; it slows down apps because of the cache and data is moved where it isnt normally.
Thats why im not using it any more

Well if you run out of memory it is, I got 40 MB free, all apps on Sd, data and cache on intrnal.
Howeverrrr you can delete some apps in /system wich frees up space, I got rid of all unneeded CM7 apps.
I dont need it to run cm7 with much apps and games

Can you make a list for me what apps to delete?

Im using an app called system app remover, can be found free if you seatch google....
You can set assist for it, wich gives green, red or yellow colors, what users thought about removing it.
I only remove green ones, back up them, and yellow ones If I know what app it is, like google search or voice dialer wich I both dont use.

You can use Simple2Ext with CM7.2 i am also using it. It will make your internal memory free i managed to get 172mb free from 178mb total.
First you have to make an ext4 partition from the pc by putting the sdcard in the sdcard reader. remember NEVER use the phone or usb cable to make the partition.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cygl0qZnbaM
This video will help you make it and afterwards you can follow the instructions of enabling simple2ext from the CM 7.2 thread.
and you dont have to use SetCPU to overclock. Just go to cyanogenmod settings and then go into performance, there you can set the minimum and maximum speed. Different models of gio can clock sometimes higher sometimes lower.

Well yes I know about cm being able to overclock from settings but the problem is freezing. It freezes even when I overclock from settings. And ty for the material on partition.

Freezing must be because your gio wont support that much overclock, try something lower than that. and welcome you can always press the thanks button

It totally depends upon your needs. If you do need some apps but can't have them because of space issues then sd-ext partition would definitely help you. Otherwise, you don't really need it. I went as high as 107 apps installed and still had 57MB or so free. Also, the slowing down of apps is not noticeable (not talking about games etc.)
You should define your needs first and then proceed. Plus, you can always undo that so no harm in trying.

Try installing a different kernel......
Maybe theres a problem with the kernel
Here is cyanogen kernel, maybe that helps

Nah, he already has CM installed. That must be hardware problem.
From what I read that other users post our Gio vary in hardware part - somebody says their CPU runs smooth at 950 MHz, and somebody says "hey, mine freezes at 845 MHz".
So it's just a matter of experiments that would allow you to find maximum stable frequency (just like in a world of "big computers" - different chips could be OC'ed to different frequency even if they were initially labelled the same)
As for external SD partition... I certainly recommend SD class 6 as minimal to do this (and 10 would be much better). I think internal memory is something around 10 class (that are my observations, no tests neither official publications to back this up).
To find out what SD class is read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating

How to move games SD data to SD card ?

Hello guys, I just got my N7100 yesterday, Its a real awesome device, seriously !!
However, I had HTC Desire C before N7100, And I used to put games sd data on sd card/Android/obb
but on N7100 I have to put sd data on the phone memory, which is phone/Android/obb for example
whenever i try to put sd data on sd card it doesn't get read, like the phone reads sd data only from phone memory and it doesn't support reading sd files from sd card !
For example Amzaing Spider-man has a SD data of 1.4gb, It should be putted on SD card/Gameloft, But when I did that, the device didn't read them .. but it worked when I moved the SD data to Phone/Gameloft
and the same thing with obb files, etc
Still, The sd card works great with no problems at all !!
( my device is not rooted )
And thx in advance <3
​

Unfortunately the device doesn't support moving games to external sd card. If you have noticed there isn't the option move to sd card in the apps settings. There are 2 ways to solve the issue but require root. If someone knows something more he should help.

I've been *****ing about this since I got my Note 2. It's complete madness and I believe harmful to android in many ways. The really annoying thing is that no-one mentions it when you buy the phone. Samsung even gloats about the GN2 and S3's expandable memory!!! They don't mention that is only good for private files and films you may have pirated! You can not ever have off-line Spotify playlist on the SD card. I filled my SD (within 1GB) in 10 days.
Maybe Google's plan is a return to the dark ages. Maybe they will start selling games on memery cards or more likely they are planning to sell Android powered game consoles!!
Consoles that would not sell if we all had the equivalent in our pockets with expandable memories and which just sat on a shelf after a 2 year contract and the launch of a new flagship.

Wow !! .. It sounds like a major problem, Could I get a solution even if I root my phone ? .. ( But with a step-by-step guide please ) ^_^
Update :
How about this app ?
Does it work on Note II ?
If so, Could anyone please give me a tutorial starting from rooting my phone until using this app ?
Sorry for being such a newbie but I really don't know a thing about rooting
and thx for everyone

Root and use gl to sd(search on play) its very easy to use i dont think u need a guide. Just press menu key and click move data.

Desire. Tried many roms..

Hello.
Im using HTC Desire, i really love the phone, but i have problems with it.
i tried like thousands of roms, gingerbread, jelly bean, ics..
and EVERY rom is so fkn bad at perormance.
even doodle jump have low fps on my Desire.
i have other phone, ZTE Blade, it has 600 mhz processor, same resolution as desire and its playing smooth angry birds, hill climb racing and so on.
even little minigames have low fps.
I clocked my desire, min clock was like 500-700 mhz, max 1100 something.
still bad fps.
600 mhz is 2x faster than my 1ghz?
what the hell?

maybe its sd card problem or what?
i went to recovery, partition sd card, then 1gb, swap memory or whatever it was to 0.
apps open very slowly, and when i download from google play and first time open it, it always crashes.
even simple game (happy jump) opens like 10 sec.

Hmm 2gb ext. Bit much. 1.5gb is usually the most recommended. Anything bigger sometimes can cause issues. If u ask me 1gb is perfect, i mean how many apps u planning on installing? 1000? Haha

Move app additional files to sd card?

Im running Goodness Noteworthy 1.06 with Perseus kernel on my Sprint Note 2. I've looked online and from what I understand there is no way to move apps to the sdcard after the jellybean update. I'm really just needing the additional files the apps download like the 1+gb that you have to download for Need For Speed or N.O.V.A. moved to my external 16gb micro sdcard so my internal memory isn't so low. Ive tried the app Folder Mount from the play store and it didn't seem to work. Has anyone found a way to get the files to the sdcard and the game still be able to read them? Thanks!

folder mount worked perfectly for me. i had about 12gb worth of game data from gameloft and ea (incl nfs most wanted and realracing 3) moved to the sd card with this app and the games played perfectly. at the moment im having issues with my sdcard writing anymore and im hoping that doing this folder mount, it didnt mess my card up. the games have been working for a couple months now. i know this isnt much help but i thought i'd share my experience.

good luck man. here is the thread by the dev incase you havent read some faq's yet. it really did work well for me when i used it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122

I use My Drives to find the space hogging files. It's free.
FolderMount, DirectoryBind and so forth can give funny readings on the when you look at storage. You literarely have not the storage used and available before and after binding. Most of the file explorers will show the binded file in the original location. It's been moved, but what you're seeing is more a holding marker.

I figured out how to use Folder mount and its working good. I was just not mounting the data by clicking on the paperclip button lol. Thanks guys.

Ok first of all this method of your wont work as you have to have to put the data in sdcard(internal)/adndroid/obb and then start the game...just for making sure its working...and then exit and then open gl2sd and transfer the data through that app ONLY(IMP) and thats it you are done...
But if you dont have that much space and you are rooted then take a backup uninstall the apps free up the space and transfer the data and then do the above method...because tje logic behind is that folder actually gwts mounted so the GL2SD app needs to show the system a fake data submission on internal card everytime you mount...hope i helped dont forget the thanks button..
