Link2sd is an app which can link all your apps to SD ext partition. You don't have to worry about how much internal memory left because all apps are stored on the SD ext partition but it requires a good memory card where a minimum class 6 is recommended.

Hello:
I've getting these low memory warnings everytime i update my apps. i've moved most of my apps to the SD.
My internal memory is 196MB, is this right?
i'm thinking when i flashed cm7, i might have assigned way too much ext memory. if thats the case, how do i re-partition my memory. i need to update my rom to version CM7.1
thanks,
oh yeah, and for some reason, my SD card total space is 3.03GB (but the factory SD card's memory i believe is 1.99GB)
If you're using CM7 why not use DT a2sd or S2E to move apps to the EXT section of the sd card?
If I read your post correctly, you partiton your sd card but you're moving apps to the FAT32 portion of the sd card.
If you use S2E or DT, you can move apps, and dalvik cache to the sd ext portion of the sd card (what these script does is make the phone think the sd-ext is part of your internal storage. This way apps with widgets, passcode can stil lwork like normal.

Yes that is correct
Confirmed here too. 196 on non-rooted stock N1. That's all she has.
would partion sd card increase the phone memory ???
With script, yes. But if your sd card is low class, you'll have a bad time with that. Sd-ext partition will randomly break for no particular reason and you'll have to restore it regularly.
Any script ??

search S2E or link2sd
partitioning sdcard will not increase internal memory
but you can add additional memory to your phone with the help of scripts after partitioning
like using pen drive with hard disk

I want to use my external microSD 32GB memory card for internal, because I need more gigabytes for my applications.
I don't like the method of App 2 SD.

Rooted D415, app2sd seems like it moved apps to external SD but all moved apps remain in phone SD. Any way to move movable apps to external? Not all apps can be moved. Only 3.6GB available space.

Are you sure you've got an ext partition on SD card? Also I recommend link2sd, better app

I let the phone format a new card. Most likely FAT. Should i split SD into two partitions? Ext = exFAT?
As we all know the android one comes with limited internal storage storage and media (pics,documents,videos) can only be stored on the external sdcard. On the forum there are various methods to swap storage size , however on doing so storage space for media will be limited to fixed 2 gb space currently available for internal storage. I was wondering if it is possible to partition a 32gb class 10 sd card and use 16 gb each for external and internal storage. I wouldn't mind if the internal phone storage would have to be abandoned in doing so.
Has any one successfully done this..

Yes you can do that using link2sd.
Check this out.
I have made a 4GB ext4 partition on my 16GB sd card and I keep all my apps stored in the 4GB partition. And 10GB is kept as media storage.

So download the zip file from the attachment. You will find link2sd app and a patcher that makes the app link2sd plus and is totally functional... And other things about link2sd is nicely explained in this site, https://awanstuff.wordpress.com/201...ink2sd-in-any-android-phone-with-screenshots/ Just keep in mind to create a ext4 partition instead of ext2 and you are good to go. And I would suggest you to use high speed sd cards preferably class 10 and higher if you want a smooth experience on your lollipop rom. I use class 10 ultra from sandisk. And my apps run buttery smooth...
