[Q] Which lag fix uses the EXTERNAL SD card?
with so many choices for lag fixes
i kinda lost track which project was the one that was doing the symlink and copying data to the EXTERNAL SD card.
External SD cards can easily be replaced if dead
Internal SD card is a pain in the back when it dies
at the same time this is a perfect scenario for SD cards performance test for Class 2, Class 4, Class 6+ speed tests
Class 8 and Class 10 are not widely available yet for microSD format.
if some one remember the Dev topic please link it
thanks
no body is using this lag fix?

Can't seem to recall which one that is but here's a bump for ya.
Must have been a while ago huh....
why is this stickied lol

not anymore, seems like no one cares that the lag fixes writes to the internal SD instead of the external SD
I remember using it before. it's called mimocan or something. went through a lot of trouble to format my card into ext4.
There was something on modacco about it I recall... maybe Paul did it

yeah that! paul madacco!
I can't recall the name either but in the last 2 months we've moved on from external fixes as it was annoying to create the external partition, Also speed wise it wasn't a good fix.
There is the old mimocan lag fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724251
and also this new attempt using JFS FS on the external card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812836
Modaco lag-fix was using the oneNAND fast memory. But it is internal and also is "limited" in size. ~130MB available only.
thanks i am using the internal modacco fix i guess. no problems with it.. but again limited in size although i have about 100 apps installed and still have 78 meg free. so probably could go over 200 as long as you dont have huge apps like certain games..
it seems like it is a lot less hard on the internal sd.. and maybe that is why it makes more sense to use this or one that does use the external sd for the i9000m specificially which is touchy with the internal sd card.
that's exactly my goal
since it's a known issue, it'll be better off playing with External SD, as they can be easily replaced if dead
you can also keep upgrading to newer faster models of SD cards

guys i know you all heard for this app (Ram manager pro)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.RAMOptimization&hl=en
but, i bet lot of you didnt notice a biiiiiig update...now you can swap your RAM on your internal, the fastest partition in our device (not even close to sd card class100)
but, im not sure about it, and i ask for help from developers or android wizz that know this method...
i noticed that this thing works, but, after you swap, you dont have space left...so, iv got partitioned my sd card, only to 256mb, just to check...and it really works again!
Again, but, you need to create swap file right after flashing fresh rom, so it (swap file) occupy internal memory at once! Cause, if you instal some apps, it will use sd ext, and probably go to sd card, wich doesnt make any difference in performance...
Once again, im asking for opinion of expert, to confirm this...
Im using latest jb4.2.2, and best way to check this is to play some game and to listen a music at same time : DIDNT GET FC OR ANY LAG!
tnx in advance
NOTE: don't create swap bigger than 128mb, thats our max internal
Does it really works? Because i used to swap too but it didnt make any difference in performance. The only thing i notice is my phone got hotter alot.....

Tried this last year .....the script was made by custdroid.....
Unfortunately the constant read and write on ROM is not so good for the hardware.. ...so I deprecated the project for mini also with such low internal memory I could create only 32mb swap on internal and the phone soon started yo take its toll ...you may try this but I am sharing my experience cause it may feel smooth for sometime but it reduces the life of your mini considerably cause ROM is supposed to non-volatile unlike RAM which is volatile...

I wonder if anyone knows if there is some way to put apps en SD card. I've installed App Manager and it's say that is not possible I have spent several hours searching the internet and have not found any information about it.
Thanks for your help

Theres a guy who made a script for just this purpose and he did it on the Galaxy S3, you could ask in there, it literally swapped the SD for the internal SD. Making my S3 a 64GB version usable for apps and the extra 16GB for whatever i wanted, i personally didn't need it.
I've Used Directory Bind... Though not all apps can be transferred, (mostly huge games can be transferred)

Guys does anyone here solved this problem in xperia z1 to move applications in SD card because i dont want to fully loaded my internal memory which is only 16GB..

I would like to know about that also. Since my phone is not rooted, how do you get apps to install directly to the SD card. thanks
Me too.

I don't think we can install apps on the SD card yet ):
The OS is unix based, you can create symbolic links in the internal memory to point to the External SD card. These links tell the OS to look in the location you specified whenever something requests that folder, pretty much seamless.
There are other tools that have been developed which automate some of this for you, if you are not comfortable typing in a terminal window.
There is already a thread about this, conclusion is that mattiad is not going to be doing an internal2external mod, been using his mod for years and I asked him, told me that without the device in his hands (probably donated as he isn't going to be buying it) it isn't going to be happening, mount points and code are different from the s3 apparently.
I've personally been using folder mount, it's a paid app but allows you to mount the larger games and apps found in android/obb or anywhere from one location to another.
Upped my memory to 5GB from 2GB, I've got about 4 large games and around 100 apps installed so it does work.

Thank you for the hint. I hope, that after upgrading to 14.2.A.0.290 root will not be remove and rooting will not be so difficult.

Root will happen and there will always be a way around things, the problem Z1 users are facing is a lack of dev's to accomplish these things. Just compare the note 3 forum with this one, huge difference.
The camera bug has obviously played a part in this but it's causing irreparable damage to the Z1 community and has probably put off some dev's we could sorely do with.
Hopefully it'll change withe new releases but as time goes on i'm losing faith to be honest.

Wearing very thin my friend
After Updating to OOS 4.1.0, 3.6gb storage was used by others under storage in settings. Many users are reporting this in Oneplus forums and reddit. I can find nothing in the sdcard. I even factory reset my phone but no use !! When I switch to other roms, there is nothing under others. I switch back to OOS 4.1.0 then again the others is using 3.6gb !! Please help me , Is it for seamless updates or something ??
Whoa dude chill. Lol at least you have it...You have 64gb version?

I used VPN for Ota. Update is available for everyone.
I do not really understand what you are talking to me.
I'm in the same boat but it's even worse on my end.
Honestly. With so much available space. Does it really matter? This also feels like another storm in a teacup. Oneplus are screwing us once again etc.

Yes because we are paying for that memory and instead they load it with crap
Yea, but you're not paying much are you? And with the ease of unlocking the bootloader, rooting, putting on custom ROMs WITHOUT voiding the warranty...Pffff i don't really care.
Not much? It is more expensive now that any other top device from 2016, it is not good cheap OnePlus anymore. They do not change the price over year like the other companies do.
I am pretty annoyed when something is like it shouldn't be. I should have that memory free and it is a bug or something. There is sale for beer and you buy 1L and get only 0,7L, will you be happy? You still have more than 0.5L and you still have cold good beer which is probably enough but yet you paid for 1L and didnt get it
I updated mine over ota yesterday and lost 7% of my storage space. Tried to do a cache wipe from the factory reset screen but that didn't help. Any ideas? This doesn't seem right for an ~350mb update.

I had this storage bug on my oneplus 3t, but I was on OOS 4.1.0. "Other" was using upwards of 15 gb of data for no reason. I fixed it by downloading ES file explorer in the google play store and analysing the storage. This oddly fixed it for me. The image with ES is my storage after analyzing, and the screenshot with DiskUsage was "Other" usage before. Did you check your oem_log folder to see if that was sucking up your storage?

I checked and this bug is just awful. I deleted 13gb of crap to go back down from 31gb of other to 17gb which I can't find anywhere.
I used the disk usage app to try to figure out what is eating my space and it looks like my system data occupies 26.6 GB. That doesn't seem right. Have only about 4 GB of apps on the phone.
Using the app drives i have only 2.4 GB of system data. Both apps give the same amount of app data.

That thread isn't accurate by any stretch and there's plenty of evidence on the OP forum showing contrary information.
I decided to take a chance on a tip I saw on Reddit and wipe the userdata partition as well. Immediately after the initializing the OS again I had 14gb used in other (see attached)
However, my issue with the phone not booting because of an encryption problem was resolved. It's looking as though there might be a bug with how the userdata partition is handled.
This is probably a filesystem bug with Android. Far too hasty to blame OnePlus for this. On my S7, if you adopted an SDcard as internal storage, it took the size of the internal and double the size of the sdcard and showed that as availkable. So, in taht case it was 32GB + (64GB * 2) = 160GB, whhich obviously was wrong.
The "other" folder shows App data that isn't part of the APK itself. Any caches, game data, etc.
Mine right now has 10GB apps, 17GB other. I've used 31GB out of 113GB available.

Another person said to restart your phone to fix the storage issue. Try that and report back.
Fair enough, a bit hasty in blaming OP I suppose, that's just been my frame of reference.
As for the restart, nothing doing there.
