[Q] Ext3.ko and Ext4.ko is for App2sd?

I'm currently using GingerCruzt 7.4
I saw Ext3.ko and Ext4.ko under /system/lib/modules/ i was wondering:
If i partition my 16GB SDcard to FAT32 and Ext3/4, would my internal memory increased like App2sd on Eclair does?
Or it's just gonna be wasted space?
Then i just repartitioned my sdcard(my sdcard was parttioned 12GB(data),1GB(Ext2),500mb(swap)) to 1GB(ext3) and the rest is FAT32 and nothing's happened, my internal memory remained 255 mb, is there any wrong steps i took?

Moving apps to SD (whatever partition) frees up internal memory space as apps are installed there by default. By freeing up internal storage, your phone gets somehow faster

does it means it's doesn't show up as internal memory, but does the same thing as Eclair App2sd?

You can see the app in 'app managemet' on SD tab. The app will work the same except for widgets won't show up.

With GC or most of custom roms, you have only to create an ext2/3/4, then system recognizes your ext partition and installs your new apps directly there.
Then you just have to normally install apps on phone, and they'll go "silently" in the ext partition of the sd .
You can check if it works by going in the /sd-ext by a file explorer and see if there are folders inside (they should be 4). If everything is correct, you should find your apps installed in /sd-ext/app.
Please note that of course your total internal memory space won't grow up.
Apps will be simply installed in the sd-ext, leaving your internal space free

i dont know if is a bug or what , but my app2sd work's without ext partition in my sd card, my apps go to .android_secure folder in my sd card, is that normal ?

[Q] phone storage

Hi.
Im running miui rom in my optimus 2x.
I have 3 options to storge.
Phone storage about 1 gb
Sd card storge about 5 gb
And external sd card about 16 gb
The problem is that basically i cant use the external sd card for apps and games,
i try all the move to sd card apps on market and all of tham only move from my phone storage to my sd card, so basically i only have 6gb in my phone.
Is there anyway to move tham to my external??
Tnx.

hmmmmm...
on cm you have an option to do so (settings/cyanogenmod/applications/use external sd for media)
but i don't know if miui has it too. Try looking for something like that

I looked everywhere, there isnt an option like this.

If you don't mind me asking, are you really out of storage to install apps?
Because o2x has an app storage space of 1.5gb excluding the internal 5gb flash memory, and most heavy games will store their game data on the 5gb internal flash mem, and only the basic apk will resides on the app space.
Running out of storage space is really hard achieve since even the heaviest game only consumes like 100mb? Which is mostly stored in the 5gb space. Unless you have hundreds of high end games installed, then you can run out of space .

All the new games need to download between 400-900 mb each, so yeah i runnig out of storge

Alright then, my mistake.
Anyway, I read that to swap sdcard as _externalSD vice versa is via CM7, I am not really sure how because I'm not using it, but I definately read about it before and it is doable. Hopefully someone can help you on the how..
Cheers!

there is a script for miui to swap so your microsd to become /sdcard check the android development

Tnx alot, that fix my problems.

[Q] app2ext on froyo!!!

I used to use i&f 4 rom, but I switched over to thefroyomod 2.9.3 BUT my 80+ apps werent detected so I went back, made list, and started painstakingly installing all apps BUT I ran outta space on my internal memory, even though I still have 160+ mb on my ext partition(verified using free space by krikun)
Please help
Before you ask, I have a 4gb class 2 card with 500mb ext partition
I am going to switch to my incredibly cheap 8gb class4 card with 1gb ext partition but dont want to know that I wont be able to install more than 70 apps

Simple, your phone must be rooted, make partition in your sd card and install script like a2sd, link2sd, s2e or anything else.
Just searching in this forum. :laugh:

Thread moved to Q & A, post in the relevant section next time.

Hi ! I was rooted my phone - ok , I was partitioned SD memory card 1st partition : 6GB fat32 and 2nd 1 GB , I was instal Link2SD and moved all all my apss to SD memory card but internal memory is still 181MB and used space is 120MB . In internal memory are instaled only : Link2SD 949kb , Market 9,1MB , SwiftKey 8.98MB , Transparent Weaher clock 7,52 MB . When i restore original settings on mai phone here was 25-30 MB occupated....What can I do for extra memory ?

Rather than move apps, link them, create link, link app+dex+lib of apps. Then reboot. Then using a root explorer go to data/local and delete '.apk' files of those you already linked, then reboot again. Done.

2nd partition formatted ext3?

You are confused, no app, script or kernel actally makes a bigger internal storage. Internal storage is limited by hardware not software.
Some scripts affect the way internal space is reported, to show like you have more, but its not actually giving you more internal storage, it isn't real.
A partition on your sd card can be used to store data that otherwise stays on the internal memory. All apps and scripts use this principle through slightly different methods, but none of them can actually give you a bigger internal storage size.

[Q] Increase Internal Memory of Xperia T ?

Does Xperia T install large app automatically on 10.8 gb Internal Memory ? or we must transfer the installed app ? I noticed there is only 2 gb memory to install app which seems to be insufficient. Hence, I was hoping to if there is a way to increase the memory to install app ??

You can partly move the app to your intern mem. But the Instal file will need to stay on that 2gb of app mem.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

when you install for example 2GB game for example 30MB goes to the 2GB partition(depends on application) and the rest to internal 10,8GB partition ..you dont need to worry about space

Thank You both :good:
