[Q] to get around 300 mb apps space+format sd to archos file system - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am a new girl on the block :| , I searched on the site but got no answer there,
I would like to know how I am getting around the 300 mb apps space imitation
and how I can format the sd card to archos file system,
that the 101 will not know the difference between the internal and external storage
and let me install all or most apps on the sd card.
The 101 is rooted with chulri and currently running apps2sd, which some progz can't be moved to the sd.
Many thanks in advance!

check this guide out for getting more than 300mb app space http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196318
and you cant format the sdcard to 'archos file system' or rather you could format to the same file format but android will see them as two different devices, they are mounted at different locations, and theres no way to 'combine' to physical memory devices.

I suggest you use Titanium backup to move files to internal memory. Latest versions supposedly (never tested it) work with external SD cards as well..

[Q] after I have rooted.....

So I am going to pick up a NT next week reguardless but I need to know. If you root the NT, does that clear up being able to use ALL of the 16GB internal storage? I know that as it comes, only 1GB of non B&N contact. Or do I have to install a different ROM to use all of the 16GB

Kinda...load stuff onto a sd card and then use root explorer app to move to your internal locked down internal storage.

Sorry....I do not have the tablet yet so I dont fully understand. So if I flash the Gapps and get the full market. I still can't install past the 1GB but if I "side load" (I believe that is what you are explaining) then I can exceed the 1GB and use the other 15GB?
Please let me know if I am understanding this corectly
np, I dont have it either...yet.
So what I've read, sideloading and installing apps from markets (amazon, google android) all goes to the 15gb storage. When you plug in usb to computer, only the 1gb is available to transfer files. So use an external micro sdcard to transfer files from computer and then use root explorer on the tablet to move from the 1gb to 15gb storage to get around it all.

Apps on SD card?

Has anyone been able to successfully move an app from the internal storage to an sd card on the NT? I have tried using App2sd and Astro file manager to move apps, but every time I move one, it breaks the app and I end up have to reinstall it to the main storage.
How can I move or initially install apps to my sd card?
Thanks in advance.
Moves, but disappears
SuperToolbox moves them to the SDcard nicely, and they work until I reboot. Then they are GONE!
Is there a cure for this?
Apps2SD/ZDBox?
Has anyone had any better luck with this? Both Apps2SD and ZDBox break the app. And at least in the case of ZDBox, the application never even shows up on the SD card when I do a search.
Had to ask: Why would you want to move an app to SD? I understand that the nook has sufficient storage space to handle a lot (something like 13GB) of apps.

in all honesty it weird that you would want to install apps on to your SD card since you basically have 13GB of access for apps. Installing apps from your SD card goes into the data folder on the NT if i am not mistaken, and apps take very little space unless you are downloading games which have like additional content that takes like 1gb of space. Even then you should still have sufficient storage...
you guys know that we can only use 1 gig of all that internal storage, right? because the other 12 gigs are dedicated to Barnes and Noble content...

Have you read any of the threads on the partitioning of the device?

[Q] .android_secure folder in the internal sd (usb storage)?

Hello!
I'm using the stock ICS 4.0.4 XWLPY rom and I'm really glad with it. But when I install all my apps and games I have to move some of the to the sd card. By default, the system moves them into a ".android_secure" folder in the External SD card, making the boot time very long, and sometimes it doesn't even load the apps/games stored at the external SD card.
So, my question is, is there any way to move the apps to the internal SD (usb storage)?
Thank you!
P.S.: I've a rooted phone.
Hi, I'm trying to do exactly the same. I've already spent all the evening searching for this and couldn't find an answer. The issue is simple, I want to use the internal memory (/storage/sdcard0) for the .android_secure folder, instead of the real external SD card (/storage/extSdCard).
Why? Because I would like to have all the external SD card free for music, videos, pictures, etc. and I don't use the internal memory for my files, so there's a lot of free space not used. Also my SD card is slow (in comparision with the internal memory).
Thank you very much!
Cheers!

4.0.4 ? Really? At least move to 4.0.3 or even gb but not 4.0.4 brickwear.
Can't say for the OP (the post is an year old by now), I'm using stock Android 4.1.2 rooted.
Anyways, I would like to know if there is some mechanism for changing the default .android_secure folder location.
Cheers!

[Q] Prestigio PMP5101c - Internal memory/storage

Hello,
since Christmas I'm a happy owner of Prestigio PMP5101c.
But I've installed a lot of apps, ran out of free space and found out that I can't move the apps to the external SD card, but there's only option to move it to the internal storage (the tablet memory is separated into internal memory/internal storage), so it seems like the external SD card is good only for movies, music, etc.
I downloaded some apps (like APP2SD), but it recognizes the internal storage as an SD card and the external SD card isn't even showing in there.
Is there a way (through rooting, custom firmware) how I can change this? Or maybe a config file?
Thank you very much for you help. :good:

Hi.
I also have this model (well PMP5101C_QUAD) and i use AppMgr Pro III to move apps to internal storage. I have over 100 apps installed with over 100mb free.
I am looking to root it, but can't get it to succeed at the moment. Very fast and good tablet.

[Q] Install Android OS on externel sd card

Hi,
because my phones memory is just to slow for everday use (rocking i9000 and my internel memory only reads with 2mb/s and writes with 1 ...) I wanted to install CM11 on my externel sd card and maybe use the internel sd card and memory as data storage. I allready bought a 32 gb class 10 sd card which can do 20 read and 16 write in the phone.
I went looking ony the internet and found a bit but all was assuming that the internal storage is broken and/or ended in dead links.
This was the best I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881143
I would be very happy if someone could give me instructions on how to install CM11 (or any custom rom, should be the same right ?) on a externel sd card.
I thought I post it her in the general section cause this should be similar across most devices out there.
Thanks in advance

There is a way of swapping your internal and external sd cards for use as storage using a script in the internal phone memory but I think that runs after android is loaded using script manager. This sounds like he's done it in a similar way by seeing the external sd card as his internal.

Yeah, figured that by now isn't there a way install the actual OS on the externel sd card ? reasoning for doing this that also the OS gets the speed boost of the faster storage.
