This thread is pretty useful for root user with custom rom and have ext partition.
Hey guys, I have discovered something.
Here is a few apps that most of us have and it used a lot of storage in phone memory (ext partition) compare to moved to SD. It is better to move this few apps to SD to have more available phone memory.
Lets see how much phone memory do you save after you moved these apps to SD.
1. Adobe Reader
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 4mb
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 136kb
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 96%
2. Angry Birds
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 288KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 86%
3. Angry Birds Season
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 252KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 86%
4. Angry Birds Rio
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used (%) after app moved to SD: 372KB
5. CamTranslator
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 4MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 264KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 95%
If you have all these apps in phone, it used about 14MB phone memory.
If you moved all these apps to SD, it used about 1.06MB phone memory.
You saved about 13MB after moving these apps to SD.
If you feel I missed out something, just share it out here. Thanks!

Dude, dtapps2sd moves the ENTIRE app to EXT. I have no clue where you're getting this from. The whole point of it is to eliminate the need to have a single sdcard always in your phone, and save space at the same time.
And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean.

Exactly, dunno why people are SOOOO bothered about getting 170mb free space. Space is meant to be used people!! As long as you have some left, you're fine....

if "WHOLE" app is moved to ext, why my available phone storage is keep dropping? can you explain this term?
Edit 1
"And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean."
The app is moved to SD and it doesnt stay on ext anymore.

app data. settings/preferences/scores are stored in a database in your data partition. Oh and cache if you haven't done a2sd cachesd.
edit: if you want to move data also to sd, you should do
$su
$a2sd data2sd
This will stop your memory from going down and is a much better solution that moving apps to sd card manually.

What do you mean you use dalvik?? Do you know what dalvik is???
It looks like you dont have dtapps2sd. Which apps2sd program are you using now? Which zip did you flash?

internal memory becoming short even after moving all the downloaded apps to sd card..... do any body have any solution....????
Did you clean the cache from the browser and other apps ?
Even if you move apps to the sdcard through Apps2SD, Android still installs stuff to the phone's internal storage for the dalvik cache and Using something like Link2SD with a partitioned memory card will solve this.
If you use Link2SD, DO NOT use Apps2SD of anykind. they are counterproductive.
The LG509P Optimus T only has 200MB internal storage.
I use an 8GB card partitioned with a 512MB ext2 partition for Link2SD. With all the apps I have installed (about 35-40), my internal phone storage is only using 55mb or so, with everything else going to the card automatically through Link2SD.
Clean browser & facebook or other apps cache and data.
create an partition on your device and download a2sd gui from market and flash darktremor a2sd script via recovery...then reboot and open a2sd gui app and select app on sd...in the dalvik cache tab select move cache to sd-ext.
links are here:
for a2sd gui:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12069632#post12069632
and for the script: kindly search google.
hit the thanks button if I have helped you.
here is the script which is working on my phone
please check if your rom supports it...I dunno which ones do..but the forum and some google search might help..
hit the thanks button if i have helped you.
Link2Sd requires no special script or custom recovery for install or rom checking. All you need is a partitioned sd card, and to download the app from the market.
Guys which one is better installing apps2sd script of link2sd?

With link2sd you have a GUI and a choice what to move to SD. With apps2sd, everything is moved, no choice, no GUI. Decide for yourself.
how much of memory does links2sd free ??? with data2sd my internal memory is 140 mb free...yeah its a little cumbersome but once done no worries...

Uhm... Depends on how many apps you move, surprisingly You can move the app, dalvik cache and libs (manually or automatically, all configurable).

thats because your dalvik-cache is on phone..
NOTE: SOme ppl report that phone gets a little slower with dalvik-cache on sd..
try this
open terminal
type "su"
then u get a # prompt
execute this "a2sd cachesdreset"
Phone wil reboot and it might TAKE a while in rebuilind dalvik-cache
..you have a lot of free space in phone now..Check it
maximum free memory
well but whats the maximum memory free..
I dont see any harm in moving everything at one to the extention...i am too lazy and prefer shifting everything at once
Dude just follow the steps everything is automated..You will get arnd 150~160mb free after its done..
I've got about 35-40 apps on my phone, using a Class 4 8GB sd card, and my phone has 155mb free. there are some things you don't want to move through Link2SD (such as desktop widgets) or they dont work.
im a newbie.... can you tell me how to partition the sd card......
Dude install custom recovery(I m using AMonra2.2.1) ..Then boot into the recovery and select Partition Sd card ..Select all upgrade options one by one and settle for ext4..And
these options will partition
swap=0
ext=512
fat=rest
using rom manager is another alternative...use the values as given above by sarfaraz
I purchased my first smartphone just two months ago so I am very new to this.

Thanks guys for the above info, my next question is whats the best way to put "update.zip" file on to pnone SD card after downloading on to PC:
Is it best to:
Copy and paste file from PC to SD card with phone attached to PC using USB cable.
or
Move file to SD card using same set up as above.
or
Use a SD card adaptor fitted to PC USB and move or copy file to phone SD card fitted to adaptor.
Sorry for the above silly questions.

Sorry for last silly questions, this is what I have done so far.
Fitted cable from phone to PC USB
SD files seen ok on pc, moved "update.zip" file from PC to phone SD card and disconnected phone from PC.
Powered up phone using: volume+home+power buttons.
Used volume up/down to select .zip file pressed home to install.
Rebooted phone and checked for "superuser icon" it was there so looks like my phone is rooted.
Downloaded and installed on phone "Link2SD" and it worked ok I could open all options, but still to partition my SD card, thats my next task.
I have downloaded "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v7.6" and installed on my PC ready to partition my SD card I have read a few posts here and other web sites to try and understand what format is best for my Phones SD card.
What is the best format to use: ext2 or ext3 ??
What is the best way to backup/reinstall apps that are on my SD card at the moment ??

1. Use ext3 for sd-ext (2nd Partition)
2. Use Titanium Backup for backup & restore system/user apps along with many other useful options as well

This is where I get a wee bit confused regarding formating you suggested ext3 but when you read the information for link2sd it says to format both partitions as FAT32 they say that ext2/ext3 may not work on all phones but FAT32 works on all, have I read this correctly ?
I downloaded "Titanium app" free edition and installed on my phone it runs fine after install but can you use this app to backup apps thats on the SD card to PC ?
At the moment I can't see an option to do this, have I missed somthing?

1. Detecting ext3/4 depends on your kernel. But even if you are on stock 5830i firmware & kernel, link2sd will detect sd-ext even if it is ext2 format. If you are on Rafael Kernel, you can format sd-ext on ext3 or ext4. I recommended ext3, coz most people do that, and so far ext3 is reported to perform best without stressing much life out of your SD Card. I haven't ever tried formating sd-ext in fat32 or heard of someone doing that. So can't say if Fat32 is better than the ext file system or the other way around
2. You'll have to manually copy the backup you made in the "sdcard/titaniumbackup" folder in your SD card to Your PC. Whenever you want to restore that backup, simply put it back in same directory in SD card and run titanium restore process

I have stock kernel, well its never been changed since I purchased the phone, the info on my phone tells me its Kernel version 2.6.35.7 dpl[email protected] #1. I will use as you sugested ext3.
I will follow yor instructions as regards backup method.
The phone I have has the original SD card (2gb) I have now purchased a new SD card (16gb) so I plan is to start backup of original SD and partition the new SD and start moving apps and hope all goes well.
Will post here as soon as I have completed or for further help, I hope all goes to plan lol.

You are welcome and good luck with ur plans ... One little correction in your post. As i explained earlier that default kernel will only recognize ext2. so format sd-ext in ext2 format to get it detected in link2sd on default firmware. ext3/ext4 is only detectable in custom kernel

Must have misunderstood, I shall use ext2 to format sd-ext.
I may not bother just now doing a backup of old 2gb SD card because the apps I have on there I can re-download when I have set up the new card so I may just delete these apps to get them of the system and start fresh, there not important apps anyway.
Sorry but I meant to ask what would be the best sizes for each partition when I format the 16gb SD card ?
Let me know what you think.

Presuming that you've managed to root and everything else ran smoothly, if you're still looking to remove some of that bloatware permanently, you can install es explorer and do that.

No problems except may b eventually low space issue on ur primary partition. Because sd-ext will not ever take 4gb space i guess so extra storage space may be wasted

Yes saeed14i Understand what your saying but having 10gb or so on first partition will be ok in my situation as I will only be using for pictures etc and I am one of these guys that uploads pics to PC and does a clean up on a regular basis.
So this is how it stands now, Backed up my apps on the old SD card using "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" ready to reinstall on to 2nd partition of new SD card, formated and created partitions on new SD card using "MiniTool Partition Wizard home edition", I then used "Link2sd" to link apps that were on internal storage, reinstalled backed up apps using "Wondershare" they went straight to internal storage but linked to 2nd partition with no problems.
Note/ I did not link any system apps.
Was a bit confused at first when trying to link apps to 2nd partition as when you open an app in Link2sd it shows a window with info of app and some buttons and I thought you had to use the "move to SD card" but I realised you only use the "create link button", silly me.
As I said above I used "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" to do backup and found it worked well I liked the fact that you dont require your USB cable to attach your phone to PC you can use WiFi and that is what I used and it worked great.
Phone Internal storage before starting was 3.5mb free
After doing all of the above my internal storage is now 118mb free (well worth doing)
I will try and post some pictures at a later date once I get them sortd out.
The whole process of rooting, creating 2nd partition, backing up apps and linking apps to 2nd partition has went well, a big thanks to you saeed14i and other members who posted on this thread. I was very aprehensive before I satarted but being on xda has helped a lot.
Back soon.

With link2sd, U can uninstall useless system apps eg office viewer native email client etc to free internal storage. Complete list is provided by shankay in a. Seperate thread.u can also free space from data partion by moving apps like Facebook etc to SD card. And don't forget to clean app cache regularly

With link2sd, U can uninstall useless system apps eg office viewer native email client etc to free internal storage. Complete list is provided by shankay in a. Seperate thread.u can also free space from data partion by moving apps like Facebook etc to SD card. And don't forget to clean app cache regularly

There has been no marked difference in battery use and I feel my phone is responding well with no hickups :good:
Will post other pictures soon with regards to other stuff I have done.
Hello, I am getting an error for insufficient storage when I try to install some apps. I know how to fix this (by deleting apps obviously)...however I'm just not sure what is taking the space.
When I open up the storage section it says:
Apps - 1.5GB
Other - 4.5GB
I have NO idea what is using this Other space. Is it just cache? I can't click on the other section to see what is taking the space. Anyone know how I can figure this out?
Thanks!

you could try to wipe the cache partition from recovery. might also try to do a google checkin (dial *#*#2432546#*#*)

I had this problem too. This happens because when you install apps from the play store most of the time it gets put into the internal storage which is small in comparison to the phone storage (internal sdcard). So to fix the problem go to settings then apps. The apps under "downloaded" is what's in the internal storage so what I do is I go through each app that is 10 mb and higher and move them to phone storage (internal sd card). This should fix it .

There sure is. Never knew that.
None of that works. no matter what. If I move it to phone storage, the app is still in the internal phone storage. Why in hell would they partition a drive and all the apps go to internal phone storage by default and no matter if you move it or NOT the app is still taking space in the internal phone storage. and NOT all apps will move. So how do we make it so that all apps download to phone storage by default?
Hi,
The tittle say it all... Any recommendations?
EDIT: Found Clean Master (Cleaner) is it "the good" or "the bad"?

I think DX has enough internal mem for anyone... You don't need cache cleaners and storage makers...

I got a 4GB sd card and all apps are installed on internal storage only 3 apps are installed on my sd cards all in all these apps make 50MB but my sd card has only 300mb left on it... That's why I'm asking for cleaners.
I use Clean Master. It's a good app and can keep things like your downloaded spotify songs safe from being wiped. I also use App2SD to move apps to sd card.

I'm having trouble after installing FB, Line and Whatapp
First I experimenting with more than ROM such as( Simplicity v5 and Ace-i-Sure v.12) same problem
The problem come that after installing FB or Line but after first reboot the phone does not find him on the list
If try install Line again and try open it showing error
I try wipe cash and wipe Dalvik but the same problem or the phone freeze on Samsung logo and not open
Notes:
1- I install ROM Simplicity v5 + Simplicity 5.2 patch + Cosmic v3 Updated
2- Installed kernel E3 + module
3- Install Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool + INT2EXT - to increase internal memory
And the same steps at another ROM Ace-i-Sure v.12

So don't use INT2EXT use another method such as link2sd but these type of Apps such as Line , Whatsapp, TapaTalk they work properly in Internal Memory , If you move them forcely than they will give you FC.

I don't use only Move app to SD because internal memory is very very small 200 Mega only, after some programs install showing message Low internal memory and phone decreased, for that reason I use INT2EXT script to capacity increases.
Now my internal memory is 1 Giga Instead of 200 Mega
and If U have another method not link2sd please attach, and I search for one script increase internal memory and Ram memory

You can either convert such apps as system app using Titanium Backup. This will move them to internal memory. But the problem is your /system memory is limited. So you will not be able to make all such app as system apps. Or you can use Link2SD and not link the apps that give to fc's and only link the rest of the apps. Hope I Helepd
