But when I did so I neither got the RAM memory increased nor I got that 100 MB back .. ?? I also tried deleting the app .. I didn't get the memory back !! Please help me

If you wanna use a safer Ram boosting app try the V6 supercharger script. It has an option where you can increase the Ram by using the memory. But it doesn't really make any difference, at least not for me.
Swap is used to store unused apps on that swap instead of the RAM, so that is why you don't see RAM Increase.
btw, swap on flash memories (like SSD, our phone's storage) kills them because flash memories have a limited read/write cycles.

Hi, I just used superoneclick to root my LG P500, and I presumed I could then removing junk apps and copying everything over to my SD card, however it seems I can't?
I installed busybox but no idea what that does! Am I missing something as I don't know what to do next?
Thank you.

Ok, just installed it and it does delete crap, and gives an option to move to SD card but it just hangs and then says 'Failure' - invalid install location.
Does the SD card have to be formatted in a different way? If so, how?

i think you have rooted your phone but your still on stock rom
you should move to custom roms now
but if your sticking to stock rom for now
for moving app's to sd card try this guide
http://lgp500-optimusone.blogspot.in/2011/10/how-to-moveinstall-apps-to-sd-card-on.html
I'm using stock ROM yes. I think I need to format the SD card to ext2 or something. I only want to be able to copy everything to SD.
I tried making a partition as it says in the instructions, but the SD card is recognised as a 1GB card now in my phone rather than the 16GB it is.
It said to create a 14GB partition in ext2 format in order to transfer all apps to the card. If I do that though, 1GB isn't enough for all my music! Confused.

Now do one thing.Format your sd card to fat32 and then repartition it using recovery and select 1 gb (not 14) ext 2,3 or 4(ext4 preferred).

But surely, all I'm doing is partitioning the card so that 1GB is set to ext 2, meaning only 1GB of the card can be used for apps that can't normally be stored on the FAT32 partition?
Ok - since my last post, I did what you said so partitioned 1GB ext 2. When I open Link2SD, I get asked to choose the file system of my SD cards second partition. I can choose between:
ext2, ext2, ext4, and FAT32. Whatever I select, I get an error message - 'Mount script cannot be created. mount: Device or resource busy. ext2 maynot be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition'.
I then choose FAT32 and it says 'mount script cannot be created. mount: invalid argument'.
Just rebooted the phone and Link2SD doesn't ask me the above anymore, but now when I try again to move the Facebook app to the SD card, I still get the error:
Failure: pkg: /data/app/com.facebook.katana-1.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]
In yet 'Whatsapp' which usually has to stay on the phones memory has no problems being sent to the SD card in Link2SD.
Any ideas please?
Ok this is weird... I formatted the card again to FAT32, and then tried transferring whatsapp to the SD card and it worked.
Uninstalled Facebook and reinstalled it from the play store and that also can be moved! It's really strange but it works. I thought you had to partition the card.
I do have other questions though. Can you keep the stock rom, and still have everything you download auto install to the SD card?
What is busybox for? Do I need it?
What can I do to speed the phone up now?
Thanks.
Busybox is necessary....no need to partition the card......the failure error may occur if u are moving something from rom to external sd....first move it to internal....to speed up ur phone change the kernel...
.thundervn kernel is best for stock...make sure u hav clockworkmod recovery installed....if not....download rom manager from play store....

Just so you all know, I only want to use stock rom. I don't want to be messing about with custom roms.
The SD card isn't partitioned, and 95% of all apps seem to be going across to the SD card no problems, but I get that 'failure'message with an app called 'proboards' which I downloaded from the play store - any reason why? LinkSD does say it requires a partition but it says that for all the other apps that transferred across fine.
I've also noticed my internal memory is still slowly decreasing even when apps are being transferred to SD - what can I do to stop this?
Finally, I bought 'SetCPU' app for my phone. Not 100% how to use it but when I set the min and max cpu speed to the max my phone can offer, my phone seems much quicker - is this ok to do?
Thanks

You can try the ressurection rom . Its stock rom with some little tweaks dat increase the speed , battery life and overall performance. .. it also allows u to u set-cpu to do what its meant to do. .. over clock your device so that u can enjoy the games that seemed to lag .. and the rom also supports moving apps to the SD card

Really to get the full benefit out of rooting you'll want to play with some custom roms but as for the cpu setting the minimum higher will just cause your battery to drain really fast. What you want is a custom kernal that will allow you to overclock the cpu past 600 on the max end.

Ok, so at the moment I have transferred all my apps to the SD card. How would I go about flashing it then?
What rom should I use?
How will having a new rom stock the internal memory from being eaten up? And why is it still being eaten up now that they are all on the SD card?
Finally, surely if you overclock, it will use even more battery? I've just got it set to the maximum cpu so surely it must be improving something??

For rom go for Ressurection .. i can get u to the correct forum ... clockspeed in a cpu means the no of iinstructions it processes per sec .. so a cpu running at 600mhz will execute 600 instructions per sec while one running at 800 will execute 800 instructions per sec ... basically it gives u a performance boost at the cost of battery.. and our phones are det at 122-600 by default so u cant get a performance boost but on the other hand it helps with battery

Anakin, so I wasted money on the setcpu app then? It does seem much quicker since changing the min/max speed to both be 600mhz. Think originally it was set to 320 each.
This is the topic on how we can increase the internal storage of our phone which is actually 503 MB only but as we all know that our phone storage is around almost 2GB user available.. which is kind of waste for the people with mem card.. so there is a tool available online which does the partition of internal memory.. and hence we can convert phone storage into internal storage... I have tested this on micromax a89 only and it works like charm can be used for other mediatek phones..anyways so what you need is a rooted phone off course and any custom recovery installed on your phone.. backup using custom recovery before trying...otherwise you will loose all data.. I was using TWRP so I will write according to options in that recovery.. after backing up using recovery reboot and install the tool link given below... grant super user permissions... and a simple menu will come up showing the mem sizes choose any size below 2GB I chose 1GB and kept rest 1GB for phone.. u can choose whatever pleases u.(choosing 500MB will be waste as we already have that much internal space). After that reboot in recovery and wipe data/factory reset remember this is important otherwise your phone will end in boot loop..
In TWRP first wipe internal storage then do factory reset..after resetting using recovery.. and you will see your increased phone storage...
REMEMBER:You can restore your backup using recovery but be sure that backup of phone storage will be smaller than ur new phone storage... and restoring won't affect your new partition size..

Hello. I bought micromax A89. I m not familiar how external SD works. when i copied gamedata to externel SD, games is not working. It is working ony when i placed gamedata in 2GB internal memory. But you are saying 2GB is useless if we have a EXTmem card. So how is that possible for you to play big games(>1.5GB) like Wildblood, MC4 with low (1.2GB) internal memory???

Thats really good question 2GB is useless because its very less take for instance max payne game..it has 1.5 gb data.. whats left after u would download and install max payne 500mb.. let me tell u in your opinion can u play more than one game having huge data files ?? Of course not.. so what i did was i used all my phone storage for apps.. viz 2.5 gb after partition.. and then used dan.man 's swap memory thing which makes a89 belive that external storage is internal storage..
..and when you have have mem card more than 8 Gb u can install more than one games having huge data files.. right..so search for dan mans swap phone storage as external thing and you will get the idea..currently i have 2.5 gb storage for apps and about 8 GB phone storage..hope this will help to clear your confusion!!

Usually this shouldnt really solve your Problems.
Better check which apps uses timers, Services, Foreground Services, Autostart, .. and disable/remove them.
Check your battery stats which apps uses high battery load (which does usually means that it uses high calculations and Memory)
..
link2sd works much better if u hv root acess..!!
u cn save more RAM by using any task killer
or manuly stop service which using high data or ram..

IF you are facing the problem of. "" “Insufficient storage Space” Issue on Playstore while or simply adding few extra apps to device."
But the problem is now solved by re partitioning the Internal Memory and thus decreasing the Internal Memory and henceforth increasing App storage space on Xperia C.
Note: If you increase App or Device storage space of Xperia C then your Internal Memory becomes 210
MB, therefore if you do not have memory card yet, you should not proceed with this tutorial.
Procedure:
1 First of all Take Full CWM
backup of Xperia C,
2. Flash ghe file given below.
3. Xperia C will take almost 10 minutes in
rebooting,
4. Once Xperia C starts, then simply turn off
the phone and again boot into recovery and
restore the backup you created earlier using
CWM.

Sorry for the late reply as I was busy with my boards. No restoring the backup would just restore data the app memory would remain 2 gb. Hope I was able to help you.
Done Successfully..thank you..!!
Did this thing successfully..!! Now have total 2GB as an internal memory. No worry about installing lot of apps. Thanks to developer:good:. Specially to informationlord.com who has given step by step procedure with snapshots, solutions to each problem that may occur during the process with every tiny detail. I suggestion to those who are going to try this is that they should go to every line they've written on informationlord.com:cyclops: Thanks to developers again for making me proud user of Xperia C. Now this phone is perfect for me.:laugh:
Really need to restart after installing Increase internal storage or can already do the restore without leaving the CWM? Here restarted the xperia c returned to the mode of manufacture but had not lost root. installed again and installed CWM and oh yes I could do the restoration. I think we missed explain this detail .or is it wrong steps?

And then when I rebooted my phone, it doesn't work anymore, I tried to make a swap file using TE but when I enter the command "swapon" or "busybox swapon" it says "swapon failed" or "invalid argument". Please help me.. How can I enable swap files again in my phone? :crying:

And then when I rebooted my phone, it doesn't work anymore, I tried to make a swap file using TE but when I enter the command "swapon" or "busybox swapon" it says "swapon failed" or "invalid argument". Please help me.. How can I enable swap files again in my phone? :crying:
I'm just a newbie when it comes to rooting and these kind of things so please don't get mad at me if I've done anything wrong with my phone..

Uninstall the app. Use SwapFile Check. If it says your phone is compatible, use Ram Expander again. Make sure you have and grant root access for the apps.
BTW
This app costs a lot and promises to speed up your phone, but SWAP ram has a really bad performance. Your phone has 512MB Ram (May be 400MB usable). If you have a fast sd card (class10 +) you can use may be 1/3 of the amount your physical ram as extra swap: 400MB+133MB=533MB for getting a good performance. If you have a slow sd card (class 4) and/or set a high amount of swap e.g. 500MB you will gain absolutely nothing by using ROEHSOFT Ram expander as the swap storage is much slower than the physical ram.
My suggestion:
download and install FDROID --> open FDROID --> install "Performance Control" --> Check out if your kernel supports ZRAM (ram compression). 20-30% should be fine for it.
and
uninstall EVERY app you don't really need.

Thank you so much sir.. I only have a class 4 sdcard, so swap file is not recommended for me? Also, I have zram in my phone's system but I do not know if its activated..

Of course you can try to use swap, but you should avoid large SWAP values. ZRAM has a higher r/w speed at cost of a little bit cpu performance.

Okay sir.. Thank you so much.. I more question sir if you don't mind. Can I activate swapfile using TE? Because every time I enter the commands "swapon" or "busybox swapon", it says swapon failed or invalid argument. Is it because the swapfile's size is too large?

Why you want to do so? Ram expander enables SWAP on its own. You don't need to manually activate it. Where did you get the information that you need to manually activate it?

I mean I'll make a swap file then activate it using swapon or busybox swapon, I just thought of it as an option if RAM EXPANDER fails again.. But thank you for all the information sir. You helped me a lot. I'll do your instructions once I get home... Thank you again sir
Guy, my phone always turn off by itself while I'm trying to activate the swap file. What should I do?
