So I upgraded to mixzing premium, and now it appears in my application management twice, as:
"Mixzing"
"Mixzing Premium Upgrade"
Are both of these entries necessary to run the premium version? i am attempting to maximize the free internal memory of my N1 and the "Mixzing" entry is 8mb, and the "Mixzing premium upgrade" entry is 1.04mb. Looking to get rid of one if i can...
You need both. You can uninstall the premium one but you won't have premium features. If you're rooted you can move the premium one to your SD card, if you move the basic you will lose your widgets because widgets can't be stored on your SD card. This is assuming that neither are already moveable to SD. I have a ton of apps downloaded with none moved to SD and still have 295mb left on internal memory. Maybe your phone has less space though.

Just a quick one
I'm looking at getting the Sensation but as it only has 1gb are you able to install apps to the mem card instead?
Thanks guys
You can move apps to SD that allow it, using Google's official Apps2SD. For example, the Engadget app can not be moved to SD (well, technically it can, but if you do, the widget stops working).
yes you can.. im not a big widget user, so im fine..
Seriously, 1gb is more than enough. Including the factory installed apps, I have 103 apps installed in the app drawer - every app I consider worth having. I have many games including angry birds series. Available internal memory is still 681mb and none of my apps have been moved to sd!

I'm really new with android and haven been messing around with different roms to find the one like best. One of the rom had the option setting to let me decide whether external/internal memory for me to install my apps. Now I am using eaglesblood latest rom 2.3.7 and noticed he doesn't have that setting so I was wondering if there is another way to install to internal memory.

Most, if not all of the custom ROM's allow you to move your apps to your external SD through the Manage Applications menu. If not there, then you should be able to use apps such as:
App 2 SD (move app to SD)
and/or
A2SDGUI - Darktremor A2SD GUI
Both of which allow rooted devices to move application to the external SD card to conserve space.
I tried the two apps you gave me but they both said my apps are already in the internal memory. Idk if this is normal...when I go to storage in settings...there are actually three storage. 1. Is my SD card which is 3.69gb...2. Is internal memory which is only 1.48gb...and 3. Is additional storage: /mnt/emmc and it have 5.21gb...I want to be able to install my apps, especial apps like navigon that requires about 2gb of space for maps into the additional storage.

Some apps, like navigation,market and a few others will not run after being installed on an external storage as they use other files/system resources to operate properly. The only thing you want to store on the SD card is apps that you install that didn't come with the phone. "Most" apps will run from the external storage as they do not require the use of other system files. To sum it up, installed angry birds? Move it to the SD card/external memory. Installed superuser? Leave that on internal memory.
I think the option you are talking about is a feature of CM7 roms. It actually flips your emmc memory to run as external and then your internal memory to be seen as external. I think this is for people with small Rom space but then still have a large internal memory system like the g2x. By flipping it you can have a large main partion so you don't have to worry about apps2sd. It's only in cm7 for what I know but you look up apps2link to see if that might be something similar

I would like to clean up my sd card and free up as much space as possible.
Right now i find it pretty annoying that while using a file explorer seeing all the useless folders I don't use, that apps make or android makes.
is there going to be an issue if i rename all of the folders with a "." in front of the name so that they're hidden?
I would also like to free up as much space on the sd card as possible.
right now 1.5Gb is being used by a folder called Android/Data.
I would like to free up as much of the 16Gb as possible.
Which version is urs international or att because if u buy att then you will have only 10gb available on sd card
Regarding keeping a dot to hide the folders. Ya you can use that to hide the folders but I am sure it won't help you in reducing the space on sd card .
Wait for someone with more knowledge on changing or deleting names of android and app folders because I am not sure if they cause any problems ( usually app create those folders while installation to store app data )

i have 7.8Gb free, then I have some music and pictures.
still trying to figure out if i make all of the folders hidden, while the phone still be able to find them?
and i have a folder called "android" on my sd card thats taking up 1.5Gb.
cant tell if its safe or not to delete/move.
The android folder contains data for apps you installed from the play store.
If you hide folder associated with an app, the app will likely not work properly. For most folders that have been generated by the OS or apps, I'd leave them alone. Messing with them will either break an app, or the OS will just assume the folder is gone, and make a new folder.
Couple exceptions, if there are any files in LOST.DIR, you can delete them. As long as you are confidant that none of your SD card files (photos, etc.) have been corrupted (that you may want to recover), since this is where they end up, if they do. You are probably also safe deleting any folder called "temp" or something similar. But that folder doesn't always show up.
Ok guys I have the Razr Maxx HD and loving it. But im using titanium and noticed I can't move my apps from memory to my SD card. Freezing apps is no problem but once I move an app, exit and reopen titanium it appears the app was never moved. It still shows it sitting on the memory.
Any help with this?:banghead:

I asked about this at the Verizon store when I was getting a few things resolved. The response I got was that apps cannot be moved to an SD card. Only things like pics, videos, downloads, files, etc. can be stored on the SD card.
Would have been nice to know prior to purchase...
What??!! Wow that's a huge minus. Even using external apps like titanium? Smh

Yep, word on the streets (or at least from the Verizon broad's mouth) is no apps can be moved.
That's true. We can't move apps to SD Card, i bought a 32 GB SD Card before know it.

I think it has something to do with the stupid reasoning to mount the internal memory as sdcard and the sdcard as external1. If someone modified the mount list to force the sdcard to be mounted as sdcard, it would probably allow apps on the real sdcard.
That's a jelly bean thing... Android removed that ability in 4.1 unfortunately
Not meaning to seem daft, but is there a specific reason that you need/want to move your apps to SD? My understanding of how Android works now means that you can use the entire onboard memory for apps... negating the need that earlier phones had to shift apps across due to lack of space.
Some games have up to1.5 gigs of data. It doesn't take that many to fill the internal memory.
Just put CM10 on my HTC One S. Everything works great except:
Trying to install a game, it's claiming that my SD card is out of space to install a 1GB package, when really there is 8GB left (the Internal storage also has 1.75GB)
When I try to move apps to SD, I either get "cannot move app" or "not enough disk space". It seems that it's also not consistent which one it gives.
Is this the first time installing that game? If you have it installed before, there might be remaining game files that need to be deleted.
