Yesterday I have rooted my Galaxy Ace and removed some pre-installed apps and also moved as many apps to the sdcard.
But the internal memory stays full and when I install for example the google docs app (4 mb) on my sdcard there is also added 4 mb to the internal memory.
When I look at App2SD it shows that the app is installed on SD card.
I rooted my device to get more free internal memory but up till now without any result.
What else can I do?
Best regards,
Carola

move dalvik cache to SD-EXT partition in a2sdgui..
delete all apps in /data/local ..
this should work. it worked for me.
yeah... just search how to activate a2sd on your Galaxy Ace... the best way, flash Ketut Kumajaya's CF-Root kernel, and also a2sd files with it... then activate using terminal, and you are done...
firstly I'm not responsible for any kind of damage caused to you
but I have tried all the things on my galaxy fit before explaining here
It's not copied from somewhere instead It's based on my experience on my galaxy fit.
For Non Rooted Devices
There is nothing other then using app2sd apps. Then move all the movable items to sd card. After installing app2sd all newly installed apps are automatically moved to external storege.
I uses app2sd by sam lu.
But for non rooted users I will highly recommend to root there device and make the best use of this smartphone.
for beginners everything about rooting/custom roms/nandroid backups etc is explained in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606380
thanks a lot to A.cid for this wonderful guide
For Rooted Device
apps required
1.Root explorer or similiar
2.Link2SD (Link2sd Setup is explained later in this post)
step 1.Removing Useless system apps from stock or custom rom
go to /system/app using root explorer and mount as r/w
now delete unwanted apps
I will prefer freezing the app first using link2sd and then if phone is working fine then you can unfreeze and then delete that app
Step 2. Removing dalvik cache files
go to /data/dalvik-cache
now search for the dalvik cache files of deleted system apps
it will having name like
[email protected]@[email protected]
delete this file
Step 3. Linking files to Sd-ext or second partition of Sd card
if you have finished Link2sd setup then you can proceed further
open link2sd and then create Link for all the apps you want to linked to sd card
check all the 3 box 1. link apk 2. link dex 3. link lib files
and then your app will be moved to the sd-ext partition
if there are apps which are used very frequently then i prefer not linking dex files to sd card. link only apk for them.
currently system apps can't be linked using link2sd
In the case if app is not working properly after linking then remove links for that app.

Link2SD steup on galaxy fit
Copied from A.cid main article from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606380
There are a lot of ways and scripts to transfer apps from your internal memory to the sd ext partition, but the most consistent method I found was Link2sd.
This method works across all roms (rooted stock and custom, both) that I’ve tried, even on all variations of CyanogenMod7 (CM7) as well as on ICS CM9, and is very easy to setup and use.
However, if a custom rom already has DarkTremor's a2sd (a2sdgui app will be present) or any similar script, then DO NOT configure them.
for example: Creeds v3 has a2sdgui, and if i want to use Link2sd, then after flashing Creeds, i SHOULD NOT run a2sdgui, and directly install (and configure) Link2sd...if you run/configure a2sdgui, then it will clash with the working of Link2sd.
Similarly, if any custom rom has any memory hack already implemented, then you cannot use Link2sd...
Steps to setup Link2sd:
• Download Link2sd from Play Store (it’s a free app).
• After it gets installed, run it, and allow root access.
• You will get a message to select the format of your sd partition, select “ext3”.
• Link2sd will then automatically create mount scripts that it requires to work, and will then tell you to reboot your phone.
• Do a proper reboot, and not a ‘hot reboot’.
• After rebooting, open up Link2sd, press menu then select “settings”.
• Select/check the options “automatically link newly installed applications to sd”, “auto link notification”, “relink lib files at boot” (and “fast scroll”, if you want).
• For “install location” option, select “internal”.
• Then go to “auto link settings” and select/check all the three options (you can skip/ unselect “link dalvik-cache file” if you wish)
• Done
Now, every new app that you will install will automatically be moved to your sd ext partition.
Link2sd is also an excellent (and fast loading) app manager, with which you can freeze, uninstall, re-install…though you can move only user apps to sd-ext partition.
Also, there is no point in having your entire phone memory empty, so you probably should unlink the dex (dalvik cache) of your apps. I usually link only the apk and lib files, and leave the dex files unlinked and on the phone storage, so as to avoid any sluggishness in operation., though if your phone memory still fills up, you can link the dex of your rarely-used apps, and leave the dex of important and frequently used apps on the phone storage.
Suppose a custom rom has s2e/app2sd pre-implemented, then after a fresh install, FREEZE the app (rather than uninstall), and then install Link2sd...
Also, if you get error "mount script not created", then choose partition as ext4 (rather than ext3 mentioned below), even though your partition might be ext3...(don't know why this happens with some roms )
In some custom Roms Link2sd doesn't mount sd-ext partition even after selecting correct type of partition in that case try to select other types whether they are working or not
Like in Chocobread v3.2 it worked after selecting partition as ext4

What happens when we install a new app??
I'm not a developer but this is what I experienced
/data directory is the space which is shown as Internal Storage in phone
/system directory has nothing to do with this internal storage
when we install a new app then it during the installation process three things happens
1.it creates an apk file in /data/app
2.creates an .dex file in /data/dalvik-cache
3.creates one folder in /data/data
when we move apps to sd that apk file moved to sd storage in
.android secure folder and creates an .asec file there
so basically that .dex file and data files are responsible for eating our internal space and for the apps which can't be moved to sd that apk file is also responsible.
we can't use widgets if app is on sd storage.
so in order to use widgets we have to move back to internal storage.
this is where Link2sd helps us
link2sd links selected files to sd-ext partition and for system it still appears in internal storage but it's not there actually.
While for system apps
.apk files remains in /system/app
only .dex files are in data/data directory
we can use widgets of system apps even apk files are not in /data/app directory
so it is recommended that if you want to use widget of the app but you don't want it on internal space(as it is using much more space while it is in internal memory)
here is the solution
create an apk file for that app using any backup app
then move that file to /system/app
change the permissions to rw-r--r--
for this simply see the permissions of any other system app and apply same here
to system

partition ur sd card through cm recovery then install s2e from play store now all cm7 rom come with pre install s2e script .
Another way is to use terminal emulator .
Download terminal emulator from the PlayStore and then run the following codes:
Code:
su
*grant/allow superuser permissions*
Code:
pm set-Install-Location 2
exit
exit
Note: sometimes if you get an error you may have to run
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
if it fails.
All this does is it allows moving many apps that aren't normally movable to the SD card. After running these codes you should be able to move apps to the SD card via Settings>Apps.
This code also sets the default location for apps to install into as the SD card.
What i do for more internal memory..!
Partitioning your sd card is an option. But if you have a sd card of less storage then this option is ruled out. I use a 2gb sd card and partitioning it is not very feasible for me. so...
1. If I'm on a stock gingerbread ROM i use this script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303856 .
(I dont use it very often. Only if necessary.) And i odex the ROM if it is de-odexed by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303856 Universal Odex Script by MatrixDJ96. Odexing works very well!!! :good:
2. For a custom ROM not many modifications are needed. I just remove the unwanted apps using Link2SD. :good:
Hey Guys...i've found a way after lots of research and experiments a way to increase RAM in Micromax A56 (thanks to xda). Unlike most of the devices A56 supports swap default by its stock kernel.
ROOT NEEDED....BUSYBOX NEEDED. !!!
Note - This Mod May/Will Degrade Your SDCARD Life.
Needed Apps - Swapper for root and Swapper2 (Download these from Playstore)
SETTING UP SWAPPER FOR ROOT
1. Click on Active Swap on boot.
2. Set swap file partition to - "SD Card FAT Partition"
3. Enter "512" or "256" in swap file size(in MB).
4. Click Save it will take some time about 2-4 minutes depending upon the swap file size we created. (you can experiment with the swap file size).
SETTING UP SWAPPER2 :-
1. Open Swapper2.
2. U'll see a black screen, click on ads off.
3. Now go to settings, Make sure you have "Run swapper at startup" box checked. Go to swap place and change it to "/sdcard/swap.swp".
4. Now Click on swap size and choose 256mb(you can experiment with the digits).
5. Go to swappiness and set it to 100.
6. Check the boxes "Safe Unmount" and "Safe Remount".
7. Now go to "Advanced Prefrences"-->Check the box "Reformat swap".
8. Leave everything else as it is...Don't touch anything and exit settings come to main screen of swapper2.
NEXT STEP-----> ACTION..!!!!
1. Click on "ON" Button. It will/may show some fails but don't freak out(its normal), Wait untill it shows "All Done!"
3. Now we are done...!!!! Now check ur sdcard, you will see a file named "swap.swp".
4. Now download Advanced Task Killer from the market and kill all the running apps and go and see ur free RAM. You will see more RAM free than usual. But in actual u have more than that cuz we just created a swap in our SDCARD.
NOW you can play Games which require heavy ram usage ( I love that..!!!) Like Temple Run, Asphalt 6, etc. Some games may still show little lags.
If you want more performance while gaming, download Chainfire3D and All its plugins and play.
If this helped you Click THANKS to help me.
This method can work for other devices too...TRY and SEE...!!!
Test post.
Hope now its visible to other members also.

Hi, I have finally managed to root the A56. Installed the Swapper for Root & the Swapper2 apps from PlayStore.
When I open SfR and select the option 'Active Swap on Boot', there is no option for SD Card FAT Partition. It just comes up blank.
I have created a secondary partition on the SD card using the Mini Home Partition tool as FAT32.
What am I doing wrong??

ur sdcard shud be of FAT filesystem
Does the microSD need to be FAT16 or FAT32??
The microSD has been formatted as FAT32. Does swapper need a new partition to work on as apps2SD does? Or will it work on the default partition?
Mine is working on FAT filesystem...can also work on fat32 no new partition needed.

how much ram do you get after doing this
in running services it shows 40-50mb ram...
it does not show more ram but it is usex when an app which requires more ram is launched.
if u dont understand this clearly...read the true meaning of swapping...on xda or on wikipedia.

4-run supersu.bat
5-follow the instructions on the pc screen
note:without sucessful busybox installation the reboot fix will not work try these reboot fix steps several times if u r not sucessful
D-swapping internal memory
1-download extsd2internalsd_xz.txt and scriptmanager
2-install scriptmanager
3-copy the .txt file to /data folder
4-open scriptmanager and select browse as root and grand supersu permissions
5-navigate to /data folder on scriptmanager and long press the extsd2internal_xz.txt and select open As... then select Script/Executable
6-then select su and boot and select save
7-suddenly the .txt file will turn to yellow colour turn off ur phone annd turn on u will see a swapped internal to external sd
note:if the reboot fix is not sucessful ur phone will constantly reboot after the 7th step then u have to uninstall the script manager to solve this
this is how i done all these thanks for all the all orginal developers who found these tweaks

Ok so it finally worked after a few attempts. Do i need to uninstall all my apps and re-install them to get them on the 'external sd' as my 2gb partition is still full
Can we partition the SD card so that some of it appears as external storage and allows apps such as app2sd to move the data stored on the internal storage to move to external storage and free up space that way instead??

i also follow all steps A-D and attempt many times, at last it should be fully successed.run sciptmanager also work.
i open ES file explorer to check sdcard has been swaped. sdcard0=>external sd 16Gb card and sdcard1=>internal 2Gb.
i use link2sd to move some apps to my sdcard 16Gb, but an Warning occurred: "App2SD is not supported by ur device. becoz ur device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to ur SD card."
so i cant move my apps to my sdcard 16Gb. what happen and why?
anybody know whats wrong ???

Sony Xperia M
Hey Guys,
I have bought Sony Xperia M phone yesterday and I found out that we need to root for moving apps to SD card,
Please tell what should be done after rooting in order to the move the apps to SD card.
Please help!!!!!!!!
xperia M c1905 rooted but fail2 move apps2 sd
bought two week. rooted and system r/w fixed. also swap internal sd and external sd.
but not work move apps to sd under android 4.1.2 jelly bean.
is it bugs for ics and jelly bean with this?
i checked xperia system emulated internal sd to "/data/media" not to partition.
any idea create one partition then remount the sd with this partition can solve the problem?
any body help!!!!
do v downgrade to gingerbread? so v can move Apps to SD huh?
Anybody that can confirm I can root the Xperia M C1905 model with the latest .67 firmware wth framaroot 1.6.0?
First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

Tutotial is simple. Step by step.
I don't see reason why you can't use this if your Phone has same spec as mine .
Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..
And for your existing game data just copy it after at proper place
Here is whole script:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:129 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard

Install applications from play store goes to default internal memory without problem.
When you have downloaded apk from some other site only way for now is to copy it to /data/app than change permission and owner and install it from there. I still didn't figured it out why is that only way for download and backuped apks.
Regarding data app I think you mean what was asked in second post. If you used link2sd or some similar app after swaping just check are data and obb are stored under folder /Android in your external SD so that you could use your saved apps resources.

Thanks bro for your awesome work.:good:
Hi!
File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

I see, just installed a game and it's working, thanks!
I found something, I don't know if it is a bug or me doing something wrong, any app that messes with the identity of the phone doesn't seems to work. I've tried with "Tablet Metrics" module with the xposed framework and Rom toolbox lite, also doesn't work changing the device id.
Thanks alot. I love this

Answer to the trouble is in title. If you want to revert it go to /system/etc/init.d and delete 11ext2int.

Well, i already did it, ty Revert works very good
But i wanted to know what i can make wrong. I mean i did everything as it wrote in title. But maybe such fail was already corrected by some user.
And also free space was the same for card and phone memory. i mean if free memory on phone is 200mb, then on sd card its also 200mb.

If you looking in settings storage you will see that. It's the way it is because I couldn't swap whole data partition. I only swap extSdCard with legacy sdcard0 or internal memory. Swapping mmcblk0p22 with mmcblk1p1 wouldn't work because p22 is fst ext4 and p1 is vfat.

app installisation error

First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.
