[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 :

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..

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] JB camera save to Ext. SD Card?

I am currently running R4ins AOKP JB ROM Oct.10th. I have noticed since I started using this a few builds back that there is never an option for the stock camera to save to the SD card.... Does anyone have a fix for the stock camera? I really can't believe that a camera would not have this option.

This is a known issue and is being worked on. In the mean time there is an app called Camera JB+ that I have been using that has all of the features of the stock AOKP camera (maybe even a few more?) that allows storing pictures to the external sd card. I bought it initially because of the working 1080p video and the ability to store on the sd card. Overall i'm very happy with it.

Juan, I'm not trying to argue with you. I understand that the phone storage is labeled just as you stated. In the app however, sd card refers to the external storage. I've been using it for months and storing photos to my external sd card. As for the 1080p recording, if you go into settings then select video quality you can switch from 720p to 1080p. I hope this helps.

[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:

External to Internal sd swap

MUST BE ROOTED
Updated 8/17/13
This is for everyone that wants more internal memory for apps and games (that's if you have a large ext-sd like 32gb or 64 gb). I have noticed alot of people need the app to sd feature but can't use that anymore because google seems to think we don't need it LOL. Please follow all instructions.
EDIT: I found a video that will show you how to swap your apps and games to sd and it's very simple. You will be able to get your internal space back and play games and use apps stored on extsd.
EDIT 2: trazfer says that the foldermount app isn't very user friendly and he recomends using GL to SD (root) from the play store here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
I'm leaving the YouTube video below for people to have two options which ever one works out best for that person.
Thanks to trazfer for the report :thumbup:

I went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 and downloaded this app to get init.d support (must have init.d support). Install busybox by Stericson from the play store and run busybox let the app load after smart install is loaded choose install and then normal install (do not choose smart install) then reboot. If you have the Uni-init v1.0.apk downloaded from the first link I posted just install it run the app choose activate when finished choose verify it should say success then just reboot. Go to second link below and install the Root External 2 Internal SD app and run it. Please follow all the instructions on play store for that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext Please follow all instructions. After doing all of the above you can use your external sd as main storage. Enjoy

Now that we have CWM and a functional ROM can we move apps to the sd card
idk im wondering if this is possible ?

GL to SD
Some apps do work where you can transfer to sd card but some apps you can't, it's pretty cool for big games like asphalt

is this applicable in SM-T210? coz mine says my device doesnt support app2sd.

Moving app to SD functionality is built into my GTab 8.0

Sir. i have found a way to fix this issue that doesn't let us move apps to SD. i have found this Foldermount application which puts the Data or Obb files or anyfile in my Internal Storage into my SD Card Storage. if you still need a fix to this issue i may upload it here.

Please do, this would help the community.

Foldermount is in the play store.
But if you need to mount more than 3 folders, you will have to pay
Still a great app. (I paid for the app)
