No space

Friend of mines got a WildfireS but keep running out of space on it, theres not many apps installed and the 8Gb card is virtually empty.
I've moved the apps than can be to the SDCard but other than that I'm not really "up" with the phone.
Any ROM's or anything else I can do to improve the situation, its getting to the point where she wants to go back to her old Nokia :lol:

A data2sd rom would be an option or link2sd. Look at the Index thread, there is a link2sd tutorial at the general guide section.

Will see if I can get the phone off her for a few days and give it a tweaking..

Moved the apps that would let me to the SDCard, its out of space again though, something wrong here surely, I know its a cheap device but really, this sucks balls..

Did you "get" more space?
Hi Trig0r,
I have that phone and the problem is that they took too much of the RAM for system files and other junk apps. Its supposed to have 500MB of ram, but we are only allowed about 120MB to install apss.. I rooted my phone and got about 40MB more of memory. Good luck getting space for your friend's phone.

best bet is to root and install link2sd if possible. i've done this on VM USA, and after removing the crap apps that came on the phone, i have almost 60 apps installed and have 43.08mb free on internal.

Back on this phone again, its running
2.3.3
2.1
1.33.206.5
Gonna see if I can have it for a few days.

Got it now, ota'd to 2.3.5 still sucks balls, gonna drop a custom on it if I can get an unlocked bootloader..

[Q] How to transfer apps 2 sd on Galaxy S3?

Oh root is the only option to fix it? I'm kinda afraid to void my warranty

Don't be scared... come on over to the dark side. Seriously though, do some reading to see if it is for you. There are ways to root and unroot, this might be a good place to start looking

YES! Come join us on the root side, everything is better XD
Additionally to evoer's suggestion, you can also check Link2Sd which is a free app that allows you to move selected apps to the extSdcard. Root is also need for this app to work, so yeah root it! You must partition your sd to have one part FAT32 and one part ext4 partition. There are free apps for that floating around that'll work on PC, not sure if the current custom recoveries have this integrated. I know back in the EVO OG days we were able to partition directly in recovery.
Warning - before partitioning, you must back up everything in the sdcard to you PC since this will format you sdcard.
As for rooting, if you take that road, go this thread found in the Android Development section. It's a tool created by Senior moderator/Recognized developer mskip. Read through the OP and some pages before attempting this. But this is on of the most straight forward and easiest methods available.

Really good instructions too

I can look into this but let a pro root it if thats what i decide to do. Thanks

I dont know bout the Dark Side, but the Rooted side definietly!!!, It isnt hard to root and flash roms, just takes careful reading thats all.
Im now sporting my new GS3 16 gig using Phantoms Blaze Rom with the extsd2internalsd GS3 64g class10 mobile, internal 16 gig ext.
worked like a charm. Their are some issues where some apps install the app and data into the real internal memory but noting too big, Atleast thats the prob im having. Good thing i didnt spent 400 bucks for the 64 GS3 im a happy camper with this mod.

Just my opinion but if you choose to root it, do it yourself. That way if anything ever does mess up, you can figure out how to fix it on your own instead of going on one of the forums saying "help my friend rooted my phone and now everything is force closing, what do I do?!?".
It really isn't as complicated as it seems, so long as you follow all instructions and there are many here to help of you get stuck and can't find a solution to a problem. However, a decision only you can make if it is worth it. There is always a small chance of a brick. I've done it before but only cause I was a idiot and flashed an international s3 version ROM when rooting my Sprint galaxy s3
I rooted my LG optimus way back so that I could remove T-Mobile bloatware since the phone was crap anyway. Since then, I always root and have become a flashaholic (although wicked sensations v1.1 is keeping me grounded for a bit ). I'm slowly learning thanks to all the great info here, I was all proud of myself for modifying my mms.apk last week and recompiling it with no issues I still have way more to learn but once you start it is like an addiction. Lol.

Pardon my ignorance but why would you need to move any apps 2 sd card? I mean I have a S3 16GB with a 32GB card added to it and I have about 70+ apps installed on the 16GB card and I still haven't reached 50% of the memory on the phone....

I don't think there is any need for these kinds off apps/hacks anymore. The original EVO and other androids had horrible memory issues. They were trying to get by with 512MB to 1GB for both the system files and the apps. The big apps like NOVA etc only have a small piece on the ROM portion of the memory. The rest is on the internal or external SD card. So there's no need.
Granted I have the 32GB version with an additional 3GB SD card only because I had it from my EVO days. Most people don't need that much space.

[Q] Note II - Apps2sd Issue

I have a Note II (Sprint) and i recently purchased a class 10 64GB Sd card, i rooted my phone and followed Galaxynote2root video on youtube (i can't post link but it's the one about apps2sd) https:// www youtube.com/watch?v=QUF7R0mmk00
It did work, it's showing that i have at least 59GB on my "Internal" and my REAL internal is now showing up as SD with 700mbs.
The Problem: While it shows that i have a lot of space, anything i download is going straight to internal (real) not the 64GB card.
What i want be able to do: - To take all my apps/files from my internal drive and move them to the 64GB SD card
- Have any files i download/install go directly to 64GB SD card
I purchased Titanium backup but it's not moving the files to SD it says it moved but storage app is not counting
I'm so confused if anyone has the time to help me i will greatly appreciate it.

Google in all their wisdom removed app2Sd in Android 4.0 and up. This is why we need a 32 and 64 version off this phone. Make sure your titanium backup defaults to your external as well as the camera to save internal space.

I know this isn't the ideal solution, but can we at least move the large Data or Obb files onto the extSD card and then move them back when we want to play the game (Like Asphalt 7 and Dark Knight)?

Sadly no. I've not been able to use any kind of apps to do this.
Between Google Music cache, google maps/earth cache, tumbler cache, Bard's Tale, and Asphalt 7 that's using up almost 9gb of space on the internal "card" partition. It's crazy that the Evo3D could easily move apps/data to the SDCard but we've taken such a huge step back with this flaw.

Huh? There was apps2sd in 3rd party ics builds for my evo4g. It will probably take some time to port it to the various N2 ROMs unless there is some overpowering technical reason for it bot working. N2 is still new and young and devs are still getting the hang of it. Stock OTA might not ever get it but who stays at stock?

In the Play Store description on apps2sd the developer specifically lists the Galaxy Note 2 as a device which is NOT compatible. :crying:, not happy about that one either. Cause with the potential of this device and its display I want to d/l kick ass games but can't plug up my internal storage when I have a perfectly good class 10 32Gb SD card!
The only fix for this to my knowledge at this time(which my knowledge about moving apps to the sd card is not extensive at the moment. I have done a little research. ) the only solution at the time is an available script. Which I saw on Galaxynote2root.com as well. But I am personally not familiar enough with the method nor how it may interact with a custom ROM therefore I am personally waiting for either a clearer description of the process or a different method all together.
-Thanks

I got it guys!
Okay
The video teaches you how to flip your SDcard for the Internal, so the phone thinks you are installing on the internal but it's actually the SD (CONFUSING LOL) So when i went to titanium pro, i was super confused with the whole "Move to SD" i didn't know if it was moving to SD or the Internal since i flipped it was all super confusing to me i'm new to android, i've had an iPhone since the first one and decided to get a Note II about a week ago.
So what i did was just deleted all my apps, followed the video and installed all the apps again from the play store and it went to the 64GB card!!! So yay :highfive:
Apps/games run great not even lag at all, camera/videos save to 64GB so i'm really happy.

Careful with that card. Definitely not as reliable as internal memory. Especially if your taxing it with everyday constant use .

I just ran into this issue, no space at all! I just realized that my titanium had been installing to my internal.

Losing internal storage space

It seems as though something is slowly stealing internal storage space. I can't seem to find where it's going. I store pics on ext sd. Any ideas?

how many 0 folders do you have. also are you rooted. try a root explorer. take a look around the internal see sizes of files.

Rooted and only 1 zero folder. I've been checking folder sizes but nothing I jumping out @ me yet

In device/data down a little ways is "RS_.xxx log" and there are a ton of them with same date? small files individually though, but they're dated from a year ago.

back them up to pc then delete them see if it helps. i switch rom so much i never have your issue. if your looking for a good app for using extsd for storage like old android system. check out folder mount in market. was so good i bought it. i use it to bind my gps maps 1.5gb on extsd and app thinks its on internal. so frees up space for me. like 5gb worth with games and nav stuff.

I did a little digging n found dcim file had 2 ? Files. Both had duplicate pics totalling 790 megs each. I deleted both and it showed me NO gains in my internal storage

stock rom on an S3 is 700MB
stock rom on an M9 is 1200MB
Nandroid on an S3 is 1100MB
Nandroid on an M9 is 7200MB
The S3 uses very old and poor graphics (720x1280 ? ) .. your M9 is using everything in FULL HD
the graphics alone on one game would equal 5 - S3 games
I'm pretty sure your going to see the same thing in any 2015 flagship phone

Thanks
Just going to be learning curve as this is my first phone with unlocked boot loader as well as
my first htc.

downloaded sdmaid and am positive that 540 duplicate files adding up to 16.86 gigs of memory has nothing to do with graphics.
(I was down to 3 gigs available storage after watching a couple of youtube videos and casting a couple of movies to my tv.)
First thing I will do is put my nandroids onto my pc, and external drive (for 2nd backup), and then just do some house cleaning. Not really sure after that.
I read somewhere something about ELF data linker?? Not really too sure if that is the issue nor how I will correct this issue. But I am persistent.

This is why this phone has an sd card slot. First thing I did was put in a 32gb card.
I'm 24/32gb on internal storage (all system/apps/random) and 16/32 on the card (music/photos/backups).

well having an sd card slot really has nothing to do with 16 gigs of duplicate files. But I did invest in a 128 gb sd card today. It is just going to drive me insane because I am a little ocd when it comes to files on my phone as well as data leakage.

So what were the 16 gigs of duplicates ? ..I'm not paying for the full version of SD maid just to see what files it finds
if it's all cache files from youtube a simple reboot will clear them out ? No ?
and what does suggested ads popping up have to do with phone storage ?

Buy and install folder mount and install all your games and large apps to your SD card. Problem solved.

There was a lot of cached files, duplicates in the help application, failed downloads from play store in the form of obb files (mortal kombat wouldn't download unless I unmounted my sd card), and sd maid said there were 4 twrp nandroids when I had 2 (that I knew of). I put my nandroids on my PC and then just ran sd maid. current available storage after installing mortal kombat (a 1gb game) is 17 gigs.

All other things aside I'm starting to love this phone. The graphics on mortal kombat combined with the boom sound make this phone awesome. Theming is easy, boot animations are cake. Once I find a mod to view videos while surfing the web (like Samsung) and another for split window I think I'll be content.
