Hi guys,
I have a Tmobile Touch with 64 RAM. I did recently a hard reset. After that although i choose to install to the storage card, it always installs everything to main memeory. Any ideas, please?

Did the programs that you are now installing used to install in the card before the hard reset? Reason I am asking is because there are many programs that will install into the device's main memory regardless of what you tell them to do.
some applications can be installed to the storage card, but a lot (if not most of them) can't.

Hey. I'm really new to this forum.. and please excuse me if i'm being ignorant at any time. Just bought a new XDAii Mini and realised that the memory is very less which makes the phone work very slow at time specially if multiple programs are running. So since the memory is only around 60mb or so... can't we utilize the space from our storage memory to work as memory ... basically.. can't the phone use storage memory to work faster... pls advice.
tried searching this forum for answers.. but i gave up.. any help would be appriciated. thanks.
if you've already installed programs i advise a soft reset.
-optionally install the big rom hack to get an extra 20mb of "storage" memory.
-then find a program called cabinstl to re-install all your programs to storage card.
-optionally use a program called memmaid to relocate various large dlls (support files) to storage or storage card.

After vijay advise, read this thread and I gurantee U could get at least 35mb free memory space on startup

using MM to move the dll files to storage card, how much memory will that get you and also if hard reset, the dll will be back to main memory, correct?. Thanks :lol:

Does any friend knows how to install a program to a desired place on a htc diamond. E.g. I want to install a prog, but not in device section of the phone as is in low space, but in sd card. When i tried to install it, it always installed in the divice area, not in sd card. If any can help, i will be very much appreciate that.
Thank u
Some applications will not install anywhere other than device memory. Try installing one of your other apps to the storage card first. Personally I install everything to card if i am given the choice.

As far as I am aware, the HTC Diamond does not have an SD card. There is Internal Storage and Device Memory, right?
Hi there, i am not sure if anyone has experienced this problem, i tried to install these games ( Xtrat and Experiment 13 ) onto the storage card, but even though i clicked storage card, there were somehow being installed in the main memory of the device. I tried twice already and it is still the same. Any suggestion?
there's file path built-in in the cab...
if the files are hard coded.... I guess the only way is to rebuild the cab file....
that's what i was thinking. The built in memory for HD2 is quite limited. wish there is more....
thanks anyway
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before.
I'm using Virtuous Unity 1.31. Let say I have several apps installed and I move them (via manage applications) to the SD card. All works fine.
Let's say a new version comes out and I flash the new ROM, doing a full data and cache wipe in the process.
When I re-install all the apps, they'll be installed in the phone memory by default, and not the SD card. Does this mean that the app data on the SD card from the previous install is redundant, since the OS will presumably recognise the app in the phone memory. Is there any way to determine which apps were moved to the SD card and subsequently, free up the space?
Cheers,
Bump?
Any one with any ideas? Or is my original post confusing? ;p

Correct me if i'm wrong, but your problem is that you want to restore your data app from sd card and your are not sure cause they are already in phone memory? Or something different ? Because if you only want to put your apps from phone storage in sd-card again you can do it, you'll overwrite the older same apps..
You can try the app in my signature (SD Maid) to free up space.

Hanisa, my problem is that before I flash a new ROM, I usually do a wipe, which means when the new ROM is flashed in, it'll be "as stock" without any of my apps.
When I restore all my apps, either using Titanium Backup or the Android Marketplace, they'll be installed into the phone memory by default.
If for example I have Minisquadron installed and moved to the SD card before the wipe, when I re-install it, it will be in the phone memory by default. This means the data already on the SD card (before the wipe) is just wasted space.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and see if it works for me.
I'm trying to install "The Room" on our unrooted (still under warranty) Asus Transformer TF300T but I keep getting the above error message. I've done a search on the XDA site and found some threads relating to the same problem but the solutions seem to refer to rooted devices. I've also done a search on the Asus for smdl2tmp1.asec and drawn a blank (even with hidden files unhidden).
The tablet is running Android 4.2.1.
Is anyone able to help, please?
Many thanks
It installed fine for me on android 4.2.1

Any ideas why it won't install for me? I've tried several times today and always get the same error message. Can you suggest any settings I should check?

There's no SD card but internal storage shows 26.51GB space available.
ahh ok if you have a spare sd card try putting that in to see if it installs

I had no SD Card when I first got the tablet 2 weeks ago, and a whole lot of apps were giving me the same error - which I thought was silly since there was ridiculous amounts of free space.
Chucked in an SD card and voila everything worked, but it wasn't installing to the SD card. Asus be trolling.
Thanks, robgee and batwingnz, installing an SD card has done the trick even though the app has installed on internal storage rather than the SD card. Hey ho, at least it's on there and working.
Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

glad you got it working mate
Tried *everything* but no luck
I am still on stock ROM (latest ASUS ROM update version), but now rooted the TF300T.
I have been getting the same error for many months
I have tried *everything* I could think off except complete reset of the device.
Problem is ... sometimes it does work for a while ?!
I have rooted the TF300T.
I ran all imaginable optimization (Root cleaner, clean App and Dalvik caches, greenified everything (but also same error in Safe mode!), ran LagFix etc).
I unmounted, mounted sd card etc.
I fear some the eMMC flash memory is somehow failing !
I bought Titanium backup so I can reset the TF300T.
Does anyone know of a solution ? If I reset the tablet, will the errors be gone ? Did anyone try that ?

You tried plugging in an SD card and installing to the internal memory?
How do you control installation of an App in internal memory ?

Hi cmendonc2, thx for your assistance.
I did plug in an SD card, but also tried without an external one.
Installing to the internal memory, what exacly do you mean ... how can you opt for that ?
I have root apps that let me transfer Apps around memory types, but installing an App is AFAIK determined by Android and/or the Dev and not up to me. Or what am I missing here ?
Thx in advance.
