What is the best storage location??

Hey guys hope someone have experienced it but i want to know what would be the best storage location for apps? Would the phone run faster if they are in phones memory? Or the sdcard?
Is there any differece about it??

It depends on your sd card class a. Class 10 would be faster than internal memory

Thanks for reply.! I currently have 8gb class 4 what would u think? Keep apps on internal memory or on sdcard?

Class 4 is enough for smooth running from sd card,but faster is better!

mine's 8gb class 4 too and it seems fine for me,well apps which has widgets etc shud be installed on internel memory,other apps and games to sd card,install app2sd,it will notify automatically whether the app can be moved to sdcard or shud be left on internal memory

With class 4 there is always problems with your phone recognizing the SD card. Class 4 will work on stock but most of the time it wont work on a custom kernel. I always suggest people to get a class 10. Search the internet you will get it for cheap
Stuff that you have running the whole time you need keep them in memory. With games i suggest putting them on an external SD card. Even if its a slow SD card you save space with your internal memory.

Thanks for the reply guys hey have someone ever tried partitioning the sdcard, and would the phone read the 2 partitions as external storage? Might be a noobi question

With app2sd app u create 2 partition,one for storage and one for app2sd.U see one partition(for storage),other is "invisible" because it is for moving apps to sd card.

I have a class 4 16 gb. Its is ok for running games and other stuff. For important stuff, like things that need SU and things you use daily, it is best to keep it in phone memory.

Use ext2 for the second partition. And use app2sd script to make it work =D

Go to CWM, then Advanced >> Partition SD EXT (1024mb is good, 0mb swap),
Then from mount & format, you can format SD-ext, Install scrip(Or use S2E if you like).
Here is some tutorials:

u can use mini tool partition wizard .
its very easy buddy

just be careful when partitioning your mircosd card because it will automatically reformat your memory card thus erasing everything that's currently saved inside.
be sure to backup you memory card's contents first before partitioning.

mini tool partition wizard is best ! Works like a charm for me .

[Q]

i am using thelastmyth rom for galaxy ace and in this rom the internal memory and sd ext partition memory are combined together. does any body knows how to make this happen? is there a particular script for this?

Internal memory & SD ext are never combined. They are different. You can try int2ext+ to do this. But don't use it in the lastmyth. It is already included.

[Q] big sized sd card

N oE Hello everyone this is my first post please tell me that is it safe to include 16 gb class 10 card for our ace
I mean will the phone slow down or not if not then will the speed remain good if i create a ext partition of 1 gb out of it

No worries bout the speed but ext partition reduces the health of the sd card. So becareful n hit thnx if helpd.

so a 1 gb partition should be ok or not should a small partition should be made

whether u make 1gb or 512mb partition reduces the life of sd card. I prefer and am using 1gb with 0 swap is enough for use. All the best for partitioning. hit thnx if helpd

Actually 1GB of partition is not at all necessary. It is just a mere waste of space as ace cannot persist so many installed apps. 512MB is more than enough & for me, just 256MB is enough.

As someone said the ext partition if use to only save in apks is totally safe and will not demage your sd card in any way. Apps will run maybe faster than on interal memory. Remeber to keep apps cache clean and to relink apps and cache in order to keep performance as high as possible. That's all I think. Good luck and for any question I'm here, you can send me PM anytime. Peace!
