[Q] Problem with the phone memory

I have installed a few applications on my phone- HTC Desire (some programs and games). The problem is that no one of them cannot be transferred to the SD card and that is why I don't have phone memory. I use the program App2SD but it can't move some of the applications to the memory card, too. Please give me an advice how to solve he problem. My phone is not with root and I prefer it to stay that way.

I'm curious to what others have to say on the matter, but id say without root you might be screwed. I'm not sure if you can move the dalvik to the sdcard to free up more internal space without root or not but that would gain you a significant amount of free internal storage if you could (or move it to the seldom used cache partitiion -- but some phones don't have enough room there).
I've been using the Native Froyo App2SD like you but I'm rooted running cyanogenmod6. I can move anything to SD except for system updates.
Actually now that I think about it I'd guess dalvik can't be moved unless you're using DarkTremors App2SD+ and an EXT3 partition on your sdcard, but hopefully someone else can chime in and clear that one up.

[Q] Partitioning SD Card GT550

Hi, I've been trawling through the XDA archives and found noting that can directly help me so;
What I'm trying to do is move some [not all] apps to my SD card. My phone is GT540 running 2.1.
Ideally I would prefer to move the apps to the card on the device without rooting [I am able to root though] but as far as I know that's not possible, so I found Links2SD on market which has pretty good reviews but requires me to have a second partition on the card.
How would I go about doing this. If anyone has any better way of moving apps please tell, either way thank you in advance.

well, first you need to partition your sd card, there are several ways to do so :
- partition magic (for windows) : Google will help
- Gparted (linux) : also Google
- with a recovery (know that RA-recovery can do it, guess CWM too )
find info about the layout you need on the forums.. (probably one of the sticky threads at the top in 'Android Development')
once you completed this, use whatever A2SD+ rom you want, should work out of the box (if not, check the rom-thread, it WILL be in there..)
hope this helps you a bit what to look for (there are enough threads that explain everything..)

Internal and external sd

I would like to know if it is possible to create a rom, where larger apps, like the gameloft stuff or some navigation apps are installed automatically onto the external sd card?
Or do I have to wait for gingerbread? Will gingerbread solve this problem?
I am new to LG. I am coming from HTC and there is almost anything possible.
I loaded iGo satnav from the external card with a .apk file and had the data folder also on the external card. It seems to be happy to have the data on the external card. And runs without any hassle.

[Q] Samsung Tab 2 Apps to External SD Card

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.
