Hi
I have a problem with my Android phone. I already select an option to install apps into SD card but each installed apps still consume some free space in internal memory. Example: an app size 20 would take 2-5mb in internal memory. Unfortunately, my internal memory is only 222mb.

Also are you rooted? my method requires root so you can get the app "link 2 sd" so you can move and uninstall boat apps.

I knew that. I tried to move or install apps in SD card but a few megabyte still increase in Internal Memory for each apps installed. So it will be full since internal memory is too low.
Did you notice that?

You need root so you can delete apps that you can't if you're not rooted. Look at the photos, I can delete google maps, but only if you are rooted. And my biggest app is only 10mb because I can move any app I want to my sd, not only some. So you need to be rooted so you can free up some space on your phone.

Yes, it's rooted. But even so, each time I install an app into sd card. internal memory still cost some space. many 1 mb will make it full. If you try for yourself to install an app in sd card and check free space before and after installing. You'll will see some space will be taken. Do you see that way?

Then get "superuser" and then get link2sd and delete apps that you don't use or apps that came with your phone that you can't remove. My phone has 220mb internal and I have plenty apps and I have like 20mb left. That's still a little bit but that's why we both need to upgrade our phones, but this way helps, but doesn't eliminate the low storage stuff.

We have too? No. At first, I can just install app to SD card. I don't have to create 2nd partition. But I did create it with my PC and insert it back to my phone. But I can't see anything different. It just waste space for 2nd partition. So nothing useful for 2nd partition in you opinion, right? I should delete it to bring space back.
U all should make 2nd partition, because some of the app wont work in sd card, plus all the data will link to the 2nd partition, it save a lot of space, but make sure u are rooted

Some apps will not work without 2nd partition? I've never seen one. Hmm, it save a lot of space? I think just moving data to sd card save a lot of space too. It's the same thing.

The application i mean is widget and chat like wechat and whatsapp(it work but hardly sync, meaning u need to open the app too view the msg). And email like k9 mail, it will not notify u new mail if u did not open it. And keyboard app u need to choose everytime u boot. And lot of thing wont work as they in internal. App in 2nd will work like they in internal. And u cannot use auto link option in the link2sd.

I have received a "internal memory full"msg yesterday, with around 40 apps installed.
After moving most apps to SD card, ive still only got 100mb left.
When i check the internal memory status from Appsmonster, ive seen the internal memory size is only 500mb instead of 1gb! How much internal memory hv u got?

I believe the specs says 512mb of ram, and 1gb of ROM. What is the difference I don't know, but I"m sure it runs out of "ram". I don't know if we have access to the "rom". Hope it helps!

um.. I'm talking about Rom, not RAM. Internal memory is Rom. It should have 1GB ROM, but only showing 550mb...
Anyway, I've solved the problem, the logservice of Dell Venue keeps creating log files up to 2mb each each time I force close the apps, and therefore has eaten up all ROM! I've got to root it to clear these useless log files.
Oh, sorry, didn't know the phone had EXTERNAL ram...my bad. You see, my Venue has 512MB INTERNAL RAM and 1GB INTERNAL ROM. Where did you get your Venue from...???
I didn't mean to offend you and thanks for your reply. Anyway i've checked my friend's Venue and it's also showing 550mb, very strange indeed.

Hi, can you tell me where log files are kept? Since I found out this issue, when Force Close happens, I choose Log to SD Card then I can delete manually. But for ones logged on ROM I don't know where.
My Venue rooted.
Is it normal that on my p500 non rooted stock rom 2.2 (froyo), when i pick the "move to sd" option (on the applications>manage applications thing, you know), a small part of the app stays on my phone.
Like, if a 3mb app was installed on my telephone's internal memory(it would say like "app size : 3.00 mb" or something, and I move it to the sd card, then it would say like " app size : 959k" or something like that.
And i think these 959k is the part that stays on the internal memory, and the rest goes to the sd card.
Am I right, and if I am, can someone please tell me how to move the FULL app to the sd card??!!
Move full app is not possible, there always some of app's files will stay in internal memory.

Not unless you use a method like link2sd.

Even link2sd will leave some little bit of data on the phone's memory. I think you are looking for Darktremor's apps2sd. It works like a dream But has long boot times.

itll take more time to start up your phone
My phone boots up in like 4 minutes with apps2sd. 1 minute 30 seconds with link2sd. I think it has something to do with the Dalvik cache. Both work very well though. I found myself installing too much stuff that I wasn't even using...
If you really want lots of space for all your apps, apps2sd is the way to go. Just make sure to have a fast memory card (at least class 4).
Hi Guys, only a quick question really!
Is it possible to use internal storage as ram to boost the memory up a little?
reason i ask is that (for example) windows 7 lets you stick a usb stick in and boost the ram up.
I would have thought that the same could be achieved by some of the developers on here by borrowing some internal storage for use with ram.
( I searched and couldn't find anything that related to this. )

And why would you want to? It would be on the order of magnitudes slower than RAM.
RAM operates in nanoseconds whereas storage operates in milliseconds. (Storage is 1000 times slower..)
Look in the dev section. There is a mod where you can use part of your external sd card as a swap partition.

Siyah kernel supports swap partition. You need to have an external sd card for it. It's only for ics rom right now. More info? Check development section.

It's possible.

I just had a crazy idea that id be able somehow to borrow 1gb from my 32gb card and run 2gb of ram. but if what you explained is correct ill leave it as it is as its not that big an issue, however....... i have Siyah kernel installed already, might have to read up on 'swap partition' hopefully giving me more internal storage for downloading large sized games etc. I keep running out of internal storage memory when downloading games and for some reason on the latest 4.0.4 sammy build i cannot move apps to sd card.
ill have a tinker with swap partition and see how that goes, thanks for your info guys.
A swap partition won't help you download bigger files and all you have to do is download directly to external memory, and it's impossible to move Apps to external memory unless you Root and use App called Directory Bind.

not the only app
there are other apps e.g. app2sd
dark tremors mod allows you to format part of the memory stick as either ext3 and use that to install apps on
this is done automatically on swedish snow which is a rom on zte blade,
i don't know if there is an app to do this on gs3 but it is possible to do it

Nope it's impossible to use any Apps like App2Sd because the external memory now uses ExFat format and mounted as a separate device so can't move the cache like other phones, so only way is to use Directory Bind to use Android's folder Binding function to trick Apps into thinking it's reading from internal memory.

Take a look at another feature Siyah includes; zRAM. It basically reduces(!) your available memory by taking a chunk of it (up to 300MB can be set through STweaks) which is then used with GZip-Compression to create a in-RAM Swap partition.
This is based on the idea that in current phones/computers the CPU is far more powerful than is usually needed, so the performance impact of using it for Swap is not that high. On the other hand you don't save that much RAM - but it certainly helps without crippling down your phone and/or greatly reducing your SSD's capacity

What? No! Unless you have a USB 3.0 or a SATA supported flash memory of some kind, most other means are slower than HDDs which get around 100 mb/s read and write. Compare that to a Class 10 at 10mb/s...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
A solution I use is something somehow similar to app2sd.
To achieve it just crop the first partition of your external sd fitting to the size you want to use as second partition and create an additional partition with a supported format (I personally prefer ext4).
Move the content of your /sdcard/Android folder to the new partition and write a mount script where you mount the /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 device to /sdcard/Android.
Execute it with script manager with su rights and mark on boot and you will gain more internal space for games and apps and only have to worry about moving files if you downloaded to much with the browser or such.

the "mb/s" stat is irrelevant in the case of ReadyBoost, the windows feature that boosts access time of cached files through flash memory on usb stick or memory card...
cant post a link but, wikipedia is your friend
the feature is more of a gimmick than anything else, but its there and it does what it say it does to the extent of its limitations which are very low...
Most Windows computers have HDD's and not like our S3 an SSD.
HDD's are faster than memory sticks ONLY in writing and continuous read (one big file without fragmentation)
Readyboost uses a SSD for small often-read fragments qualifying as random read where even your cheap USB2 stick is by far faster than a hard drive.

Pretty much this, you can use Titanium Backup to move your games to external storage if you want to, but you need to have root access first.
You can use mode that swaps internal with external.
if i move my game to external using titanium, do my save game exist? or it still detect when the game launch?
thanks for the hints anyways

That is not moving game data from android data folder to external sd ..its just for apps that dont support app2sd ..it copyes from device to internal sd card not external.
Phone tells me insufficient internal memory from one day to the other even though I haven't installed or downloaded anything new.
Here is a picture
You'll want to move some apps (maybe just a few of the biggest ones) to your SD card since you only have 368 MB left for apps on the device. Total space for apps on the device is limited to about 6 GB of the 16 GB total.
