[Q] Any ROM or MOD supporting external SD card for app2sd

I am almost running out my internal 8G memory on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, but the 32G ext SD is still sleeping there....
Anyone know whether there is a ROM can support app2sd on external SD? Or, is there a good way to realize this? (I tried several solutions posted on internet but unfortunately no luck to get it solved...)
Thanks a lot for help.

try link2sd, I think you can make it easily in that way~
good luck~

Link2sd didn't work for me. It gave me an insufficient space error.. .with 3gb free. Do I need an ext2 partition on my sd?

I would also like to know if there is any way to move apps to sd . With the release of nova 3 I am almost out of space the game is amazing but it requires 2gigs of space to install. Any suggestions will be greatly appretiated.

You can see the step by step how to moving app to sd using link2sd here :

This link is unreachable. It just takes you to the home page of kaskus with no easy to find that post.

I found the answer on a Chinese site. ..you do need to create an ext2 position on your sd card first (which makes complete sense ). I've got a 32gb card coming so I'll try it on that.

Just download a app call GL to SD in the playstore for free. It's the best app that will free up space by putting your games to the ext. sdcard. Try it out.

[Q]Internal Storage

Can someone show me how to install scripts for increasing internal memory? I'm currently on AOKP v5(JB).

Not Possible
Hi
I dont think its possible to increase the internal memory as its already set by the comopany..
u can get apps that clear the space to free the memory bt i think there are no scripts to Increase Internal Memory.

link2sd has been working fine so far with android 4.x.. check out the sticky in general section about how to setup and use link2sd
you can also try memory hacks for JB from mini forums at your own risk!

okay

check out the guide written by a.cid in the general forum..it will guide you in the initial steps.
Then you need to choose your one favourite script according to your need (link2sd works on almost all roms)
some of the scripts are a2sd, s2e and cron mod. Search for them on xda (sorry i never use any,so can't tell you what to do exactly)
and use these scripts only if you have +4gb card with class 4+
and obviously there are some drawbacks..
phone becomes slow and life of sdcard decreases..

How to partition Micro SD Card for Link2SD?

It's related to your rom that can or can not support swap and also your memory class 9 you need a high class one )
partion memory :
Fat32 : Most of it
Ext2/3/4 : remaining ( more than 200 mb I think )

I think you can use swap with a supported ram like cm 7 official

Most roms support swap
But its disabled by default in most of em, you need to enable it manually via terminal, provided you have a swap partition...
That is, a total of 3 primary partition...
One fat32 for mass storage, ext 1/2/3 for sd-ext and another one for swap...

I'm interested for the CM 10 of TheWhisp.
On CM 7 S2E and A2SD working, but on CM 10 it don't working.

This is pretty much all u need to know... i personally wouldn't recommend using swap simply coz sd is much slower than phone ram.
Considering link2sd, i was thrilled when found it, coz i allways had problems with lack of internal memory in gfit. Even with my 8 gb sd class 4 i dont see it is much slower now than before. I guess its because i allways had almost full internal memory.
Btw, i have 1gb ext4 partition and for me works like charm... Like I said, was a revelation when found about it.
So, since u have custom rom and managed to make it work, do some more searching on xda forums and u will find best working solution for you.

[Q] Urgent help needed !!!

Hello friends ...
I love this mobile ... http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a90s-review.html
And it have sufficient hardware capabilities to run high end games ...
I want to buy this but only problem is the memory...
It have only 1GB internal storage for installation, while HD games are having size more than 1GB ...
Is there any way to install 2GB games on it ...
I don't want to root ... but if there are no options left then I will do rooting ...
Can I hope that after rooting ... I can install games directly on SD card ??? without any issue ???

You can install them on ur external card with apps like link2SD, Rom Toolbox. You will have to root it
Edit - actually, if im not mistaken, you can install the games directly to your external sd without root

Thanks for reply... my dear friend ... but I want to know that is this 100 % possible to install big games (greater than 1GB)directly on external SD card after rooting ???
(quote from website: "internal storage for app is around 1GB free. Apart from that there is another storage of 1.9GB which remains untouched and you don’t have an option to save new apps on the internal storage by default.")
I can't understand it because I am new to android and having no knowledge of it ...
Can you explain this quote ???

I see no reason why it wouldnt be able to do that.
That quote says in other words, the phone has 3 gigs internal, its partitioned, the 1 gig is for "system" and the other 2 gigs are for you to use as storage, or atleast thats how it works with my galaxy pocket.
I was told the game storage works like this, the game data can be stored in the external memory and the games "launcher" will be stored in the 1 gig partition of the internal memory. The launchers are usually 10 - 25 mb.
I really hope you understand this:thumbup:

There is a very good chance that u can install games directly to external sd without rooting also.

[Help needed] increase ram on tipo

There are total 3 apps available on internet for increasing ram on any android phone
Swappit
Rohesoft
Swapper 2
But each of it says that my kernel is not supported
I want to know how to make a kernel support ram swap
If any one know s plz help me
Thanks in advance
Sent from my ST21i using xda premium

You need to flash another kernel for your phone that supported by those applications. I think you should think twice because it can make your memory card broken, or if you connect it using usb mass storage it will ask you to format it. I've tried it, and it make my flashdisk read-write speed slow after removing those application. Just wanna give an advice mate

You want more speed? Freeze all useless apps (facebook, g play) and install greenify.

Swap may help, but it will definitely degrade your SD card's life. Even a Class 10 SD will be burned op quickly. Do you have any idea how fast RAM read/writes? An SD card doesn't even come close to it. The virtual RAM will try to switch as fast as normal RAM would do, resulting in a heated, dead SD card. Even if you set a low SWAP.

look!!

if ur memory is low like 512 then u definately need some kind of alternative.. since u cant change a ram... then the only this left is swapping..some of the portion of the sd..
i used it but most of the time swapping was not used so much...
no heating issue...wid me...
used for about 2 months.. sd is still in the same condition...
looks still it depends on card to card..
