Internal memory

How is my internal memory being used up if I have apps2sd installed?

it's not being used at all, your internal storage is just going to waste. Also, a2sd has absolutey nothing to do with memory, so it won't make your phone faster

app2sd installs APPs to sd , but anything else like the cache and such are stored onto your internal. so i suggest clearing out ur cache and such daily. esp from thw browser.

how to clear the ?
Ok how do i do that?

[Q] can i delete app installers?

hi,
very new to android here.
after i download and install an app from either the browser or the market place can i delete the installer once it's done (the installers are .apk right?) and if i can where does the market place store them?
Thanks

don't worry about it... really don't

the trouble is that i only have about 4.5MB left of internal storage even though i've set the phone to install apps to SD

As far as I know, the APK's are not stored on the phone. So that will not make a difference. If you are new to android... two things.
1. Welcome to the world of awesomeness! :]
2. One unfortunate thing you will have to learn about the G1, is that the internal storage is rather terrible. No app can be COMPLETELY moved to the SD card, thus. Even with just 10 to 15 or so apps, you will probably be running into the "low space" error.
Are you rooted, and/or have a custom ROM installed?

yeah, i'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0
I've deleted a couple of apps that didn't run very well so i've freed up i little more space.... i guess i'll see how i go.
Cheers Guys

It changes your partition sizes so for example lets say you have 3 equal partitions all are 100mb
100 cache
100 data
100 system
You end up taken a bit from other partitions like cache to make data larger

i've had another look and it seems fairly simple.
my system partition is currently 90MB but that's pretty much full does that sound about right?
also how big does the cache need to be, mine is currently 30MB but i'm only using 3 or so. what sort of things are stored in the cache? i've been having a problem with SMSs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217173)will it help or hinder that?
and will applying this mod wipe everything i already have installed?

[Q] i9000 cannot install app, memory full notification

Hi guys,
You may have heard of this problem, my phone won't accept manual app installation from .apk files. The problem = not enough memory; this is quite ridiculous since i still have ard 1.5+ GB for my app memory partition in the internal SD.
I searched for solutions in the internet + forum and found nothing to my benefit. I tried clearing cache from recovery, clearing google apps cache, removing the original google play with some cracked one and it still won't work.
Anyone of you guys have any idea to deal with this problem? Thanks

The apps aren't installed in the internal SD the are installed in the /data partition so you have to uninstall unused apps or do a full wipe
Hope i helped

[ Request ] External storage "swap" with internal for Xperia Z1

Please try to make a mod
External storage "swap" for Xperia Z1. that will be safe for z1
So that we can make external SD card react as our internal storage by doing this we can directly downloads every thing on our SD card and can install more HD games.
Usually 1 HD game have 1GB to 1.5 GB Data and 5 to 6 games fill up all 11 GB available Internal storage in our device, but if we exchange our internal storage with our SD card than we can fulfill our requirements by using a 32GB or 64GB Sd card

Right now I am using Gameloft to SD app for moving all my games to SD card
1) First fix your remount reboot error get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
if you did not have recovery then use windows.exe installation method. Rooted device is requied
2) Download GL to SD app from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&hl=en

3) After moving data you can play games by this method only
3.1) open GL to SD app
3.2) you will see two button on top right side, first button is mount and second one is for unmount
3.3) press the mount button
3.4) Now click on play button which ever game you like to play
4) after close the Gl to SD app all the folders unmounted, so if you want to play again you have to open GL app again and mount the games.

Umm.. Why do you want swap with 2 gigs of RAM?

does External swap has anything to do with the RAM?

Swap is normal terminology for offloading the least used data to slower drives. I suspect that the op is asking for a way to use the memory card as internal storage, and vice versa.

Sorry I could be very wrong here, in that case sorry. I thought OP was referring to making a swap partition on the sd-card and using that as swap. I've seen people do this on 'low-RAM' devices to increase multi-tasking a bit. That's why I wondered what he was up to since he has 2 gigs of RAM.

yep he's looking to swap internal storage with ex-sd, I would like to be able to do that too, I have like 2gig left on internal and a 64GB card only being used for camera, photos, videos and very little music
was using that on the XZ but I stopped using it for some reason, don't remember what it was

Hmmm well you could try simlinking your internal storage to your external sd-card, or only do it for specific folders. I never tested this by the way so I have no idea what could happen if you do this, but it's an idea.
Thank you as well by the way!

I tried Folder Mount with that fix, but can't get it to work.
The linked folders will mount, but when launching the moved games, it is asking to download additional files again.
The files from the Install.bat of the fix have correctly installed on my phone as well.
So not sure what is going on.
Can you play moved game successfully on your phone?

after moving all data open folder mount app again now you will see that game you moved click on it then find a button that look like a pin
when you pin your moved folder then game should work

I don't have Z1 but I've try both of them on my XV. I prefer to framework modifiying. Just rooted - deodexed your current rom and edit framework.jar.

I have rooted the Z1 but cannot unlock the bootloader which is required to De-oxdex the rom because at the moment if you unlock your bootloader you will loose camera functionality
So the option i choose is the one which the script manager
But before I enable that i wanted to know if anyone here tried it on their Z1 and if it works ..

Question 12Gb of other in Storage Space

Hey, I am running out on free storage on my device, and I noticed that in the Storage Space section in settings it says that I have 12Gb used of "other". How can I identify what actually is taking that space and clean it? I manually looked in to all folders on my device and could not find anything that big to account for that.

I'll think your main storage consumption is in internal data.
Not rooted means you can't see them and can't delete them.
Seems some apps saved a lot of data.
I guess you've searched in internal storage and you've didn't found huge files....
Unrooted means also you can only delete complete apps to find out which are responsible.
