[Q] More apps in system partition

Hi,
on Gingerbread/CM7, is there a way to put more apps to the /system partition? I am always low on space for apps, even though i have moved almost all my apps to sd using the A2SD function. Currently, only market and rommanager are on /system, i would like to move some more gapps to /system if possiblr.
PS. DT apps2sd is no option for me since it keeps on crashing my nexus one.
Thanks!

Use Root Explorer from the market and move the .APK's to /system/app. Other alternative is to use the premium version of Titanium Backup and use the option to "integrate update into ROM."

i just finally switched to yesterday's CM7 nightly, and with moving all my apps to the SD card with just the standard (but improved via gingerbread) a2sd method, i now have 130MB free space with 81 apps installed. i wonder if the new release puts some things on system partition automatically that i dont know about.

Thanks, I think the 130MB is your free space on the sd-card? Isn't 130MB about the total space available for apps?

Thanks, Root explorer does the trick! Isn't Titanium's "integrate update into ROM" only available for apps that are already in the system dir?

Sorry, yes. But this a handy feature because even though you may have a app stored within \system\app, if you install a market update, the update will go to \data\app. You would then need to manually move the update to \system\app and replace the old .apk file. If you don't, then the app is stored in 2 places and is an inefficient use of memory.

No that is my internal free space. I just moved all apps to the card with the standard froyo method.

So I can just manually move apps with root explorer to free up space? I'll give it a shot.

Sorry I have 110 free, not 130. I just checked.

Dumb question, once I move the app It no longer opens cause it has moved. How exactly do I handle this? I tried the market, vending, for example.
Never mind, change permissions then reboot solved it. BTW strangely before you reboot the free space actually goes in the opposite direction showing less free space after the move, till a reboot.

Glad it worked for you Roger. Personally, I have never had to change the permissions, but just needed to make sure I renamed the update exactly the same as was in system, reboot and enjoy.

Seems to be working well. I'm still confused how I have so much free space. It says 114mb free right now with 81 apps installed. Granted they are just regular sized apps, nothing huge.

Rooted my phone, moved apps to sd card, dumped dalvik cache, but still full memory...

Hey every one,
Yesterday i rooted my phone using superoneclick (running android 2.2.1) because i was getting sick of the fact that my memory was running full.
After that i did this:
Deleted facebook to make space for link2sd (have no seccond partition)
Installed link2sd,
Moved apps to sd.
Installed facebook on sd,
Go with my root file manager into /data/dalvik-cache/ and deleted everything inside there (50 mb) but after rebooting my phone the memory starts filling itself again and my dalvik cache was full again.
What can i do to make my memory free? Im havin 12 mb free now, but thats not enoug....
And also, is it safe to move apps like calander to sd?
Thanks, domini99

wrong section (again)

Oow... Damn...
Where does it have to be?

general section, open the new thread there
soon it will be closed

as you are saying you have root then download a2sd froyo root open the app select the data storage as external then you can move almost all apps to external memory but it will also not leave many storage for you I will recommend you to first upgrade to gingerbread then partition your sdcard and use link2sd

First a question: can i go furder from herr or do i have to close this topic? Thanks!

...?!? you have deleted all dalvik-cache?!? First: the data of apps are in system/data/data then you not must touch the dalvik-cache, second: use install manager for move the apps on sdcard and not link2sd, install manager is better, third: you can move only the apps (apk) on sdcard but the data remain on internal memory then also if you install all in sdcard the internal memory it lowers, the only way for move all (apk+data) on sdcard is do a partition, without the partition you not can move also the data but only the apk, then for you now the only way for get more free memory is uninstall all useless apps.

Ooh. Eeerm.... Yeaaah... Well, see. Im not the smartest here...
Oke, i looked into data/data and therr was a lot of junk in from apps i already uninstalled, almost 10 mb! I deleted that and deleted dalvik, than rebooted and now 154 mb free!!!
I installed install manager, but.. What do i need to do with it? Link 2 sd i used to set install location and moved some apps. That did a lot for me. I always wanted a game, but that was 50 mb, and that will never fitt on the internel memory, but it only could on internel, now its on sd, and working great
Thanks for reply, im already helped that far to know how to take care of my memory.
But its still fine if someone can give me some tips, im brand new to root and i understand only 10% of everything....
Thanks

Titanium Backup FTW!!!
So, I used titanium backup to move some things from the internal memory to the sd card. It worked fine as now I have about 20-30 mb free on internal. and this is good.
Also, a 2 Gb sd card is ok, but a larger one would be perfect . I have a 2 Gb now and I'll need a larger one soon ).
Also I uninstalled all useless apps like: Facebook, Twitter etc ) All useless social apps, the park is much better also the school.
That's all I know. Hope it helps u somehow.

I have also internal memory so full (about 20mb free)

If you want keep using your stock rom you can use Doc_cheilvenerdi.org boot.img that can change our sams mount partition /data to sdext. :good:

Meeeh, stock rom sucks and is slow. I prefer cyanogenmod 7.2

[Q] Where is the apk files?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me where can I find the apk files of the apps, that I installed on the sd card?
And if I put some of these apk to system/app it will be run without issues as system apps, right?

They are stored in .android_secure, but you cannot access them.
If you want them to be system apps, use Titanium Backup.

/mnt/asec or /mnt/obb. Either those or the secure one. Just check them you will see the APK.

Do you think if I move the apks to system/app, set permissions, and reboot, they will be function well as a system app?

Uh dunno. I tried that when Google play updates. The latest APK, in my case cause I'm using S2E, is stored in /sd-ext/app. But when I move it to system/app as Vending.apk and set permissions. It gets lost in the /sd-ext/app folder and becomes a System app.
BTW why do you need them in system/app? You'll just get full space in no time

Because in system, I have 46 mb free, and in internal just 18. I know that link2sd could be the cure for this, but I will use that, when I flash a new rom. Until this, I have to find some space...
Do you know, if I flash new rom, create an ext4 partition on sd, and restore my apps with Titanium, will it paste my apps to the ext4 partition on the sd, or should I link them manually?

I think in Link2sd you need to manually link. When using S2E just set Restore backups to Internal Storage in Titanium Backup but you need to set S2E 1st.

[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] 'Not enough space' only solution is root?

Hi, my girlfriend have this phone and pratically she always have 20-30mb free on internal storage.
It's something like 159mb storage and just facebook its 40mb. She has a really low number of essential apps, and I already moved every possible app to the SD.
She keeps getting this NOT ENOUGH SPACE error, and everytime I have to clear facebook data to remove that.
Is the only solution to root the device to let more apps into the SD? is there any other workaround cause I would like to avoid to root her phone.

No ...! I think theres no other solution to move apps into sd when the device is not rooted.. bcoz like link2sd... it needs a superuser permission..and superuser works on rooted device

Also, you can not uninstall unecessary system apps, to create space in /system partition, without root acces

In my opinion the best solution is link2sd and in developement section is how to simply root/unroot your phone ... you can do a totaly backup your stock rom and install root patch ... then superuser app and link2sd ... you must partition your memory card ... you can do this in windows or linus with some free apps ... if you are afraid that your girlfriend will kill phone you can in superuser add only link2sd for root permission and when something will going wrong you can restore backup that you will do
I use always link2sd becose I have alot apps installed
Sorry for my bad english

in addition to saeed's answer, i should say that u remove facebook cache because it consumes a lot of space (use apps like 1tap cache cleaner).....no need to clear the app data

Try this tutorial: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...-force-install-apps-sd-card-without-root.html
When my phone was not rooted I tried this tutorial and I was able to move Facebook and other unmovable USER apps to SDCard without ROOT!
