Hello people,
Would like help forum, I need to know how to transfer the apps (games) of the device's internal memory to microSD.
For as the device only possesses 8 Gb of memory is very limited gaming facility.
Thank you all.: Rir:: Rir:

Is it possible to use my Microsd card storage space as system ram? I'm running alot of programs and it always tells me I'm low on memory and that i need to close some programs.

Well, the long and short of it is no.
I can go into all the technicalities, but I won't (mostly because there are others that can give you better specifics).
Ram

you wouldn't want something like this to be possible. It would be real slow and your SDMemory-device would become worn out real soon. When it comes to write-cycles, SD-Memory has a very limited livetime compared to DRAM.

Ok i have had me Tilt sense day one it came out! and
my question is that when i download cabs,program i save them to my card. when i go to install it and it ask my device or memory card i always put them on memory card! and after its installed i see my device memory get lower am i doing somethig wrong? O and it shows my memory card as storage card 2 when it should be storage card right! could that be the problem? its a 8gb card
I wouldn't worry about the SD card's name, it makes no difference. Depends on how much storage you are loosing when you install. Remember some apps will install shortcut icons onto the device so you can use them for the startmenu, home apps, etc. so you are going to loose a little space, but not alot.
It shows that i have 64968k memory available that's not that bad is it? i think i should have more then that! and im saving everything to the SD card! and i clear my text messages and web cookies like once a week so the phone can run smooth! thanks for the help
Yea, thats low. Have you went through and deleted all the bloat. Meaning sometimes they put tones, pictures, videos, music in My Documents. After flashing a ROM I usually go through My Documents folders and delete all the stuff I don't need. Another quick way to find out what is taking up so much space is to go into Start, Settings, System, click on Memory and down at the bottom click on "FIND" large files using storage memory. You can edit your search preferences there, the files you want to look for are the ones without the file with the storage card icon(those files are on the storage card)

Not doubting you or anything but are you sure you are looking at the Storage memory and not the Program memory?
yea im sure its storage memory it shows it like this
storage memory program memory
Total : 125.04mb Total : 101.38mb
Inuse : 61.63mb Inuse: 44.96mb
Free : 63.41mb Free : 56.42mb
and i dont have any of that bolt wear junk! anyone knows why it not saving in the sd card?

Storage Memory is not the Storage Card. Hit the Storage Card tab at the bottom of your memory screen.

He's not worried about the Storage Card. His concern is the Storage Memory.

So maybe he doesn't know what he wants.
Why does my Captivate only limit me to having 2GB of space for apps? I'm not using an external SD card and I want to install my apps onto my internal SD card or atleast move them there.
It's been a while since I have been on a stock ROM so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can move at least some of the apps by going to settings / applications and then, in the individual application settings, select "Move to SD."
I know you can't move widgets or alarm applications because they will break if they aren't on internal memory, but you should be able to move games, etc. with no problem.
Move to SD was not available on Eclair... what are you running?

I'm on 2.2 right now. There is an option to move to SD but it only moves it to external SD not the internal one. It's split up into 3 sections

Ah, now I understand. I never had enough apps on Froyo to play with moving them but shooting from the hip, have you tried removing your external card and see if it will let you move them then? If not, I know that there are apps2sd applications on the market that should help you, but I haven't used any of them to give you a recommendation.

I've used all of those methods and none work.
Did you find solution? I have same situation here, it's pretty weird internal SD could only be stored with application data instead of application itself.
I'm almost positive that you can't move apps to your "internal SD card" regardless of whether or not you have an external sd card installed.
My understanding is that you can only move apps to the external SD card (at least that's how it's been on any ROM I've ever used)
why... Why! WHY!!! . . . oh >.>

Why you ask...
Well simple, your limited to only 2GB because this size was choosen by phone manufacturors years ago when they were first designing the phone.
Consider that most of the phones in use back when 2.2 was released did not, for the full storage potential, even have the 2GB that we have just for apps (16GB in total). Heck most did not even have 1GB (I think 512MB was the standard). There was no separation between app storage and other media. This lead to users running out of space for both rather quickly. The solution then was to find use for the external SD as it could be as large as 32GB of storage.
The whole "internal SD" thing was thought up because it seemed wise to separate app storage from media storage. Also back when 2.2 was first released we did not have such massive apps as on the market today, so 2GB was plenty of any and all user (excluding the ppl who felt a need to have 200+ user apps...)
So, you can't store apps to the "internal SD" because that's not what it is meant to be used for. When companies decided to start putting such massive storage into the phone there was no reason for it to be any bigger.
As to only being able to move apps to the external SD, simple; Google did not design Android to do so.
To allow such would require changing how Android sees the "Internal SD" and to change how the app to SD function works, it is not currently written to check for multiple SD cards. I don't see any Dev willing to take up the task when the solution to running out of app space has already been solved by a much better means.
A different way to view the problem would be to ask (or learn, as that's the xda way) about re-sizing the partition to make the app storage larger. If enough people ask (politely!) maybe one of the Devs can be convinced to make it standard in their ROM that it be more then the default 2GB, or someone might make an app or flashable .zip that allows for re-sizing.
lt:dr - phone is old, based on old specs (think pre- 2.1 Android).
Hello,
I just purchased a Nook HD+ 16gb. I have Flashed CM10 and am using a 64gb micro SD card.
My question is that when i go to the storage settings, I see two listings for internal storage. the first is only 1.97gb with 1.05gb used. The second is 12.67gb with 12gb free.
Does anyone know why there are two listings? Im guessing two partitions, and it seems that most all of my content IS going to the micro sd card, but im concerned about only having less than a gb free on internal. Im new to this device, so dont know what content i may need to use that limited space for.
If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
The 1.97gb internal storage is the /data partition (which is really on the SD even though CM10 calls it internal). It holds installed apps and settings. That is plenty of space for that purpose.
The 12.67gb internal storage is your internal media storage space. It shows in CM10 as the emmc folder. That is part of the original HD+ media space. You will probably not use that much since you have the remainder of the 64gb card available as sdcard.

Hi Leapinlar,
Sorry to revive a week old post, but i just thought of one more question in regards to storage.
Ive noticed in app management that there is an option to move app to SD card. If i was to move apps from the ~2gb partition to the larger partition on my 64gb card would that cause any issues?
My only reason for wondering is that out of the initial 1.97gb, i only have a couple hundred mb left.

There should be no problems doing that. It should free up some of your 1.97, just do it in the apps settings.

Hi guys
Do you have any tips on speeding up this tab?
Its only 16GB of internal memory so i cant really delete too many apps to clean up space.
I use an external sd card as well, 256GB
Are there any good apps or tips to make it less laggy etc.?
Thanks!!
