THERE ARE ALOT OF APPS THAT ALOWS YOU TO MOVE DATA TO SD/EXT(not all working with all roms), SEARCH, FIND, READ CAREFULY, TRY THEM, THX THEM
some roms have built in d2ext from terminal emulator, read abouth your rom that are you using
but first you need to partition sd card to ext4, that will alow you to move apps and data to sd

Hello guys
i just want to know if there is able to transfer some apps to sdcard and some apps stay in the internal memory. i know how to move apps to sdcard and move them back to internal memory, but not all apps to sd card. so any one knows how?
thanks
I don't know the exact command off the top of my head, but couldn't this be done with unionfs? Since it is included in the fs image, it might not be too bad.
Or you could make symlinks (ls) for individual apps maybe? It would still require an ext2 partition and would be a lot messier...
hi, i've just bought G2X, formerly i had Nexus One.
my question is concerning of restoring apps. i would like them to be installed in internal memory. i backuped apps used at N1 with Titanium Backup. so should i repartition SD card to be whole at fat32 (no ext4 partition)? and restoring in Titanium Backup will restore them to internal memory?
so steps should be like this:
1. formatting card - whole at fat32
2. copying Titanium Backup folder to sd card
3. restoring apps
?
hmm, it seems, that apps are already installed to internal SD and i need to move folder with my backups of Titanium Backup to internal SD and change backup directory in program.
so will try this in the evening. anyway: there is no need for having ext3/4 partition in SD card (external) for apps, like for N1 and whole card may be formatted in fat32, right?
I wouldn't worry about EXT3/EXT4... I've found no need for it. Apps install perfectly fine on the SD card without it.
That if what I did. The entire micro sd formatted as fat. Works fine.

Same here. The G2X has plenty of onboard memory for apps. No need to install them to sdcard.

Is the A2SD on the Nexus just a partition that is symlinked to /data? If so, you should just be able to restore all in Titanium rather easily. If it's the official Android A2SD, that might be more complicated.
Just a guess, but maybe just manually copy all your apk's from your backup folder into the /data/app folder, reboot, then restore all the app data from Titanium?

i used DT Apps2sd script, so restoring from TiBa wasn't a problem. i'm wondering about moving folders with some apps data, like preferences etc.

To b honest I never bothered with copying my app data from my nexus 1. Other than my photos, music, movies, and documents, I just started over from scratch with my G2X. I figured I wanted as clean a slate as possible and didn't wanna carry over anything that might conflict with my new phone. Maybe that wasn't a necessary step, but then again, I haven't had many issues with my phone so maybe it helped.

Hey , I am using custom rom (Jaggy Rom) on my HTC explorer, its working perfectly. I am using 2GB card, but where is my 512 mb gone i mean , apps are automatically installed in SD-card but in FAT partition, so question is what is ext-4 partition for? Where it is used?
And 2ndly i am also planning to change my sd-card from 2gb to 4gb, can u help plz. Thanx
if you have created a partition in the SD card you need to use a memory increasing script like Mount2SD or Ungaze...when you install this script the 512MB of the ext-4 partition will show up as your phone's internal memory.

Thanks for reply, mount2SD is preinstalled in jaggyrom 4.1, and will you help me on changing my SD card?
and how can i confirm if apps are installing on SD card. Mount2SD is installed, and i think script is working , because my phone is showing constant internal memory on installing apps (i.e about 160 mb even if i install apps or uninstall them)
changing your SD card as in? what are you asking,please be clear...
and in Mount2SD it usually shows the partition memory added up in the internal memory.I haven't installed Jaggyrom anytime but i have used Mount2SD and it always showed me the partition memory as a part of my internal memory....so not sure what's wrong.
Download disk usage app from play store..it will show how much memory is used in your SD card as well as your internal memory..just so you will get a clear idea

Changing my SD cards mean i want to switch the card, i m using 2gb currently and i want to replace with 4gb or 8gb
If you want to replace it make sure you buy a class 10 SD card..because most of people using sense based ROM are experiencing random reboots with class 4 SD cards...class 10 SD cards are much faster while transfering files...I would recommend 8GB class 10 SD card.
Alright but i have installed custom rom. When i take out my card from phone it dosn't works, and i want to copy previous sd-ext partition data to new card can u help how can i
I don't think so that any of the CWM or TWRP recovery supports the back-up of SD-ext..I would rather recommend you to use Titanium back-up to create back-up of all your current apps and than transfer the titanium back-up folder in your SD-card to your PC/laptop and than insert your new SD card and paste that titanium back-up folder which contains the back of all your apps (including apps in SD-ext) and download the titanium back-up app via play store and restore those apps.
Well thanx, What if i clone/copy my old ext partition to my new card's ext partition?
I don't think that will work. the best option you have is to make a titanium backup. if you don't wanna do that then save your sd card data ( data in fat 32 partition) and paste that in your new card. it will save you game progress, but titanium backup is the best way to go.
Well, that means i have to make a titanium backup and thn again install the custom rom i wil lose my settings

Hi, you can make an ext partition in your external sd card, mount it by apps like link2sd or move2sd and moving application on it.

Hello guys!! Is there any way to increase my wildfire's S internal storage or to swap it with the external?? help me please!

You've said that you partitioned before installing link2sd but not before installing data2sd. data2sd also requires extra partition just like link2sd.
The reason link2sd being not effective is because it moves all but data to sd-card. If any of your app uses huge data it will fill your internal space quickly.
Try going to Settings -> Apps -> Sort by data size and see which apps are on top and try clearing their data. This will free some space for some time but also clear that particular app's data.
As you've pointed out installing Dalvik cache to SD would be best. In my custom ROM I've to open terminal and type a2sd install and supply option y,n,y. Most probably this will work with your ROM as well.

I think there is no way to increase internal storage but you can follow some techniques or use some apps to move applications from internal storage to SD-card.
The point is that my mobile can move apps from internal storage to sdcard, but not exactly all files. Some files like data files keep stored in internal memory. Link2sd does exactly the same if you don't buy the Link2sd plus. So there is no point to use Link2sd.
