[Q] Number application limit ?

Is there any limit to the number of application that can be installed to this device?
I'm using app2sd Amarullz script. I've tried Darktremor and also s2e.
But after I installed a lot of applications (only takes about 200MB of my ext partition), I can't install anything more. Everytime I tried, it always get reboot while installing.
but after I remove some apps, I can install it.

i had like 304 apps installed...but no reboot when tried to add new ones...in fact the only thing that happened to me was extreme lags

what a2sd u are using?
your size of ext partition?
sorry I kinda curious what happened to me...

i have 300+ app, and doesn't have such problem.
i'm using ungaze, never try amarulz.

If you mean the ext partition, it isn't. I have 1.28GB ext partition and I've just used around 200MB.
is it because I also use swap?

have not tried amarullz, but ur prob is sd-ext is mounted as read only and not read write.(check using rootexplorer or by any other means)
but u say after u uninstall some u can install again? i dont know abt that.

yes, after I uninstall some, I can install some. That's why i think the problem is application number or too much partition size that the device can't handle?
I've make a smaller partition of ext4. now it's about 800MB.
and 300MB swap.

why u change u'r partition?
i have 1,1 GB ext4 and only 100MB swap.

lol 64mb swap will do.
still tell me if ur sd-ext is mounted as r/w or r/o

there is no limit for the apps that u keep but the thing is u should have enough phone memory free so that your phone doesn't lag and runs smooth

I've opened Root Explorer and open /sd-ext. It's r/w.
that's should be right that, isn't it?

I have more than 250 apps, and i'm having problems - launcher forced close.
Problems disappear if i remove - or quarantine/freeze - apps.
Seeem to me that it's worst with apps that scan for apps list - titanium backup, or others apps manager.
I do not use any a2sd progs - just the native 'move to sd' feature, with the hack to bypass original settings, used to mov e in SD freezed (unused) apps.
Another - separate - issue is memory occupation...
Seem to me that updating apps do not remove the older apps - this is surely true with ROM apps - so i get a lot of memory wasted.
Another - separate - issue is RAM, or run-time memory... Android should manage it on its own - but still i'm not so confident that errors do not occurs with heavy load.

I thinj maybe the prob is your sdcard. Try purchase highend sdcard like classt10

1) create a partition using CWM in advance section of recovery(swap size 0 M) 512 mb is sufficient
2)download app link2sd from market
3)open it...and choose partition type of ur choice (ext4 works well )
4)finally click on any app saved in internal memory and click on CREATE LINK
5)You are done! :beer:
Ask if any problem...
Press thanks if i helped :thumbup:

Ext2/Ext3 is pretty much the same using default settings (unless you enable journaling in ext3). Ext4 adds journaling.
Ext2 is the most friendly for SD life. Ext4, not as much, but it has other perks (GIYF).
Also, you might want to show apps installed on the SD Card, select them all then Create Link first. It'll save you some extra space and re-enable widgets if available. Then you can move your internal apps if you want.

I didn't understand what did u mean by show apps installed on SD card and select them, create link.. Do I have to Create link also for apps already stored in SD card..
And, I think Ext3 will be the best for.. what say?

Once you have Link2SD installed, you can select "SD Card" as a filter. It will show all apps installed on the SD card. It would be a good idea to link these apps ("Create Link") (thus moving them back to phone storage, and then again to the SD Card, but to the 2nd partition this time) for three reasons:
You can move the dalvik-cache as well, which means you'll save extra space.
If the app has widgets, you'll be able to use them again (e.g. SoundHound).
Should you mount your SD card to the PC, the apps will still be available since the 2nd partition doesn't get mounted.

I've tested Link2sd.. Only Ext2 gets detected and mounted to be used in Link2sd.. Ext3/4 doesn't get mounted.( I'm using the Stock kernel)

On stock kernels ext3 and ext4 not always work, fat32 or ext2 always work. Its ok, won't make a real difference, the class of the sd card has way more impact on performance.

If you want you can create partition (with ext4) with minitool partition on your pc. (see this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning)

Same problem, even if partition is formatted as ext4, Link2SD defaults to ext2. I have had a few times where it loses link by itself and all linked apps stops working.

Ext4
If you want to get your ext4 mounted. You must make a partition as ext4 to (I use partition wizard).. Not ext3, or ext2, or either..
I am sorry for my bad english..

I've had this especially when restoring nandroid backups. The 05mountsd script in the init.d folder of some roms creates a conflict with Link2sd. Simply delete that script, problem solved.

I did format it as EXT4 with MiniTool but mounts as EXT2 on Link2SD upon reboot even after choosing EXT4.

[SD-EXT] Script to mount SD-EXT at boot

Many people have it but those who don't, need it badly
Very Big Thanks to Fire rat for sharing his knowledge with us
Here is his thread:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572
What does it do?
If you have any second partition of SD Card
(ext2, ext3, ext4), it makes a directory SD-EXT in the root of mobile and mounts it at every boot.
NOTE: It is not a script for moving any Data or App from Internal memory to EXT Partition, it just creates that directory.
Its for those who are not using(or even using) any script for moving data to next partition and want to just make a prominent directory of SD-EXT.
For eg, if someone is using Link2SD, then the second partition is mounted as /data/sdext2 and not as /sd-ext
So they can't, well, do a lot of things.
Required:-
*Custom ROM with init.d support
*Busybox(not sure if compulsary, but it would be better to have it)
*Root Explorer
*Patience
*Mind
Method:-
1. Download the file in the attachment. Extract it.
2. Go to Root Explorer.
3. Copy the file (03mountsd) you just downloaded.
4. Go to /system/etc/init.d (There is also a shortcut- /etc in root of phone, both are same, NO PROBLEM)
5. Select Mount as R/W.
6. Make backup of your 03mountsd(some files for mounting SD Card may be different from 03mountsd, so you have to use common sense and choose the script which is used for mounting SD Card) [In special condition, there may be no script for mount the SD Card Partition, if so, skip thus step]
7. Paste the downloaded file in there.
8. Set Permissions. Every block must be ticked
Tick means X here
Read Write Execute
...X........X..........X......
...X........X..........X......
...X........X..........X......
9. Reboot
If correctly and successfully done, you will see SD-EXT directory in root of your phone after reboot
If it is not seen, reboot your phone
If again, check again if you had pasted it properly
If again, Download SManagerAds
Select to browse as root
Browse to /system/etc/init.d
And click on 03mountsd and click on (android skull with crossbones)[Root] icon and (blue gear)[Boot] icon and click save and Reboot.

I told you bro that it does not move any apk or data to sd-ext

This looks like it might solve a problem for me because I'm running both Titanium Backup and Link2SD and wanted to use TB to move app data to my ext2 partition.
Unfortunately I'm still using a stock ROM, so there isn't an init.d available to modify. However, I am using SManagerAds to run a V6 Supercharger script at boot. Does the 03mountsd script need to be in init.d?

Updated

Can anyone explain. ME the 6th step
And where can I find 03mountsd????
Thank you

Hi,
Link2sd can not link all data to sdcard. It leaves files in \data.
Some apps use cache, and it is stored also in the external memory. There is an option in link2sd, where you can delete cache.

I never used cronmod, but as i know, it mounts the partiton like it would be internal mem. I think you should move back the apps what are linked, and before u use cronmod, delete link2sd.

You're in luck. Recently a good s2e for 4.2.2 has been developed (But the game data your talking wont be a problem, because game data is anyway saved on your sd card)
First in CWM go to Advanced>>partiton sd card>>(choose your partition size but depending on your sd card size choose a suitable value. For a 2gb Card dont choose more than 256 mb and so on)>>as for swap size if you have a card of class 6 or higher then only vreate one (for virtual RAM- you can find many guides online)

Did u have any link2sd or s2e or any such related scripts before installing this?
You must make sure there are no such scripts in the init.d folder.
I would suggest u do a fresh partitioning of your sd card, wipe your device and freshly install the ROM and then do the procedure for installing the script as mentioned in the original thread. And i suggest you use "fixed-int2ext+ for android 4.2..1". "Int2ext" (without "+") slows down the device.
Also, make sure you mount /system, /data and /sd-ext before flashing the script. And format /sd-ext after flashing the zip
Please tell me the procedure that you followed.
Let me know and I'll provide more detailed steps if you are not able to find them in the original thread.
