Should i use link2sd or app2sd with GingerDX v15 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello i have gingerdx v 15 and i have checked the options for the system to be able to move apps in the sd card by itself but i am still getting not enough free space cause mosts games install in the phone and if i try to move them manualy from the apllication managment they are broken meaning i cant see their icon in the menu nor play them

Maybe you haven't heard about ext partitioning...
GDXv015 supports that.
You should have an ext partition on your sd card.
300MB ext size is big enough.

thanks for replying mate BTW no i know what is but why and how should i use it with gingerdx v15 i mean how to partion my 8 GB sd card and what will it give me i mean whats the diference if i had an EXT partion in my sd card what it would do thanks again

I using GDX from v12 and have any troubles to move apps to sd via app management. No additioal app is needed. Sometimes I need to press "move to SD" two times - at 1st time it says "app can`t be moved" bot it moves it on 2nd attempt.
I have any troubles on moved apps.
I have stock 2gb card, one standard FAT partition.

Well i guess app2sd is better

yea but my question isnt if app2sd is better its i i should use it with gingerdx v15

app2sd is native app in gingerdx. Go settings->applications->manage applications and select the SDCARD tab. Select one by one the apps that you want to move to sd and in the new menu press the button "move to sdcard". Do not move apps that have widgets, because widgets will be disappear.

yea but when i do that the apps disapear and lets say an app had 20 mb it now has around 500 kb and no where it can be found

[Q][ASAP]How to Increase my System Storage

Help Me!
I have installed many apps and my SYSTEM MEMORY getting low at 8.86 MB free of 157 MB
But my INTERNAL MEMORY has 142 MB free of 1024 MB and my SD CARD has 2.06 GB free of 3.69 GB
I tried use Link2SD and move all apps to SD card, but this app doesn't help me much on lowering SYSTEM MEMORY usage.
How can i solve this? Should I use more partition or install some scripts?
I capitalize the word to prevent some people misunderstand system memory and internal memory
Also sorry for my bad english
Which rom are you using, all GB have the option to just move your apps to SD though, you don't need Link2SD app, go to manage aplications chose the app you want to move to SD click on it and chose move to SD

I use standard ROM. But Link2SD same with standard way in moving apps to SD, right? But why my system storage getting full when install some apps?
Please somebody help me! I need the answer
Is your phone rooted? If not, root it. Search the forum. Once rooted, install an app called Droidsail app2 SD. Using this app, you can move all the apps to SD card. Including apps like Facebook which do not support Move to SD.

What's standard? I guess you mean stock firmware, but is it Frozen yogurt or gingerbread?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
First get your phone rooted.
Install Titanium Backup paid version, not free
Select that app you want to move to sd card, then in options click the option to convert to user app from system app ...if it is system app
do all like this, you can move all apps with this process to sd card (don't experiment with system apps)
Try only on apps that installs in internal memory and not movable to sd option
press THANKS button if I helped...

[Q] Changing default path for installation apps

Hello guys,
I'm sorry if this was a repeated question.
But i was wondering how we can change our default installation path on galaxy note?
Because the problem is everytime i download something from google play, its installed in the phone memory which is only around 1,5Gb
What's the use of 11Gb that we had on usb storage then? Can we somehow change the default path to usb storage?
And i don't want to use external SD card. I think that's all, thanks guys! Waiting for your respons!

11gb internal storage is called sd card. App2sd is what you need.

I've tried that and it refers to the original function of move to sd card from the application settings. And it didn't work it says couldn't move not enough storage space and its because i dont have any sd card insert.
Therefore 11Gb usb storage only useful for extended game data and photo or music?

Using App2SD you can only move some part of an app to the 11GB (called as SD card or internal SD) memory..also, you cant move each & every app, since some apps needs to be on the Phone memory (memory which shows ~2GB)..I am using App2SD to reduce the load on Phone memory..it wl b useful for apps/games, especially which r bigger in size..what I believe is the more you keep the Phone memory free, the more faster your phone will be..

Thats a better option..buy a 32GB memory card & move all the stuffs like movies, music, photos, docs etc etc etc to it..use 2GB+11GB (in built memory) only for apps, games & their data..
Even 64GB card works on our Note, as per the below thread:

I know this is a very late reply sorry
but i wonder you were talking about moving apps 2 sd
However, i moved all apps that are movable, i have no pics, videos, music or whatsoever . Yet, the internal storage gets full very fast to extend that i can't update apps anymore
I hope during the last 4 years someone figured out a solution
my phone has a custom lollipop rom and its rooted

[Q] Galaxy Ace not enough memory problem

The phone only got 200Mb memory and it always say not enough memory.
I checked it in App2Sd that it only has 25Mb internal memory left.
Many of the Apps cannot be moved to sd card.
What is the most common solution to this problem?
I've consider flashing a custom rom with it, but it would not solve the problem.
First u should get custom recovery for ur device.
Cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-based roms have a default option to move ur apps to sdcard. Also, Changing from STOCK TO CYANOGENMOD roms requires accurate knowledge & precision. Otherwise u might face prob.

Root, partition your sd card and install link2sd. By far the simplest solution for a beginner. Leave Roms and scripts until you have more experience.

Can moving apps like whatsapp to sd cause any problems?
What kind of apps can be exactly moved to sd card?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
theoretically everything can be move. praxis shows that widgets do not work if moved to SD and some apps that run in background all the time might make problems.
i prefer WA on internal memory but i have FB messanger on external (ext4 on SD) and i also get my messages, so....try. as long as you do not move system apps to SD you cant do any serious damage^^
(just want to say: even if maps and stuff like that might be systemapps you can move them to SD. works for me and they are big as hell)
I already tried moving whatsapp to sd.. So far it works fine!!
What problems can it cause?

Step 1:
Via cwm recovery:
Advanced -> Partition SD-card -> select the partition size. -> select swap size(u should select 0) -> You get partition SD_card.
Warning Backup fro SD-card to PC everything before partitioning the SD card. You will lose everything present on SD-card.
via windows:
Tool Used: Mini-Tool Partition Wizard / Easeus Partition Tool (Both Are Same)
Delete the partition on your SD_card -> create FAT/FAT32 Partition(Size of this Partition = total SD-card size - Size of ext partition) -> create ext3/4 partition -> Hit apply.
Step 2:
Put the SD-card in your phone. -> Reboot/boot into recovery -> Goto mount/storage -> select format /SD_EXT Partition -> Go back to main screen -> Select reboot.
Optional
If you want to use ext partition for the installation of apps.
Then you should flash/install int2EXT+ scrip via cwm recovery.
Reboot and open settings -> Goto applications and see your internal space it will be around 158mb(ace original size) + size of ext3/4 partition.
Partitioning SD-card is IRREVERSIBLE so you are advised to backup everything which is on SD-card
Thanks to croniccorey for int2EXT+ script.
look for another app that moves to sd card i used this one called move2sd before using app2sd
I already have link2sd... And it works perfectly!
I don't know why apps2sd requires superuser permissions! It doesn't help at all..

[Q] Internal Memory

Hello.
My girlfriend's s5830i is always givin her the low memory storage error.
She has got Mindcr ROM, rooted, with apptoSD, and every app in the SD.
She hasnt got many apps, only over 10 (installed by herself). I have moved all contacts to her google acount, and I have deleted all SMS.
Can I made a partition in the SD for get more internal memory or something like that? I have heard that with ROM Manager app I will break the phone.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks you.
Go into the cwm recovery then go to advanced. Adter that select parition sdcard. Then select the size and wait until it's ready. Then search in the development section for cronmod script and install it through cwm. It will move everything of your apps directly in the sdcard so you have just 1 - 10 mb use in internal memory.
