Installed link2sd but still intermal memory is full

Hi friends, i installed LINK2SD with two partitions on sd-card and linked all apps (except go launcher, evernote, applock, link2sd, free2sms)
but my internal memory is only 39% free.
If i try to install any more apps(linked) , internal memory getting filled and becoming very very slow.
My phone is galaxy ACE-5830 (2.3.4) -Stock ROM
Does linking the app to sd card moves the apk+data ?
Im posting screenshot also.
plz help me guys

There are many roms that does not support proper sd-ext service like odexed roms .. I think you should go for app2sd after flashing darktemor beta 4.

common
It's a common error.

For more roms you should ask your fellow members i.e your ace members. I don't have that phone. So, cannot recommend any. :sorry:

Search for cronmod and you can choose a2sd, d2ext or intext

Also for me Link2SD is the best solution, I've a rooted phone with stock rom, I followed the guide and I choose to put 1 GB in the second partition for APP. Now after 1 year I've more than 500 addition MB of apps!

I am a big fan of cronmod's scripts. You can put the script in the init.d folder of the rom's .zip before you flash it, or you can flash one of cronmod's .zips immediately after flashing a ROM (before first boot).
I like them because they are fully automatic. You can install tons of apps, and they get put on your sd-ext without having to link them, or do anything to them. I used link2sd for a long time before I found cronmod's scripts. After a while I still ended up running out of space, and I would have to go back into link2sd to figure out what ELSI I could link.
With cronmod's scripts your internal folders ( like /data or /data/app depending on the script) get automatically mounted to to sd-ext. This effectively adds to your internal storage. I see it as more of a fix, while link2sd is more like a band-aid.

Hi, thankyou for the tips, yes link2sd will not give you infinite space, once you start to have a lot of apps, them continue to write some data (cache, etc.) on your internal memory and this will lead you to fill your internal memory. So in my opinion with a non rooted phone, simple move app to sd is like a band-aid while link2sd on rooted phone is like a powerfull band-aid.
About the script, it will move ALL and let you to install infinite apps? I've readed that these kind of script give you also some stability problem on some apps and also decrease speed of the phone while for now, with link2sd i've no problem at all, I moved also gapps.

Im using cronmod (int2ext+) and I haven't experienced any problems, I guess (haven't tested) they just released a script that will work with 4.2.1 The only app that ive seen with noticeable lag was titanium backup, but other than that its been great
Ive also used link2sd and that works extremely well also.

Obviously, not infinite, but on my ov I have about 180 mb for my data partition. Using the d2ext script with a 2 gb sd-ext partition means that I increase that by literally over 1000%. I have absolutely no stability problems with the scripts. Sometimes a particular rom won't boot with a particular script, but I've always been able to find at least one script that will play nice with any rom I've used.
I really liked link2sd when I started using it, but eventually running out of space again, and constantly having to link apps got old. The script will move ALL of your apps without you having to tell it what to do, and your apps will still "think" they are installed on the phone, so widgets will work fine.

thanks!!!!!
Thanks guys!!!
I m now using int2ext+ by cronmod ....works perfect!!!!
very stable and smooth...:good:

Help, Need some advice for a good friend's GS2+

Hello everybody, I come from the Xperia arc forums, been on xda for a few months now and to be honest im still kind of a noob even if i learned a little bit about ADB and rom/kernel/mod installing.
A good friend of mine recently decided to switch from an iPhone 4s to a GS2+ but has no clue about root roms ect so he asked me to tweak up his phone and i want to show him the full android potential on samsung's great hardware (without bricking anything hopefully)
I know the "what's the best" discussions are not allowed but since my friend will pass me the phone for no more than a day i dont have all the time to test every rom out there so i want some advice on the following:
What are the most stable and successful roms for GS2+? What great features do they have?
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
I was planning on partitioning the internal memory and add a 512mb swap partition, i wanna avoid swapping sdcard cause of lower speeds and sd lifetime issues. is it reccomended to swap internal memory?
is there anything in particular about this model that i should keep in mind to avoid bricking this phone?
are most of the internal partitions EXT4 or do i need to convert them in order to increase performance?
Any other advices? i've already flashed with a Note and a Galaxy ACEi but im new to this phone.
Any quick help would be greatly appreciated, he's gonna gimme his phone in a couple of days...

You can check here. Babba ROM and Pandamonium ROM are recommended if you want something stable though not as perfect. I haven't try out Babba ROM and I can't make a comparison. Do check them out.
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
I have not tested the kernels, but you can check here and see the review.
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
No.

Can't speak for this one.
is there anything in particular about this model that i should keep in mind to avoid bricking this phone?
I guess no, I rooted and installed custom ROM by following the guidelines and everything is ok.
are most of the internal partitions EXT4 or do i need to convert them in order to increase performance?

Best stable ROM is latest official with k2wl kernel (and don't forget to remove unnecessary apks)

k2wl
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
Absolutely NO

Forget this old method dude. 4Gb of internal space is more than you need for your apks
is there anything in particular about this model that i should keep in mind to avoid bricking this phone?
This model is a rock. the only method for bricked it is... i don't know any method (with odin you can always survive you phone)

Forget old methods and open your mind

New to android and rooted my phone first time through this forum's guide. I wanted to install apps on SD so as App to Mgr failed I went ahead with Link 2 SD and partitioned my SD card. But i created a partition system of EXT2. Does that matter?

[Q] Low memory problem?

Since we all know that Samsung Galaxy Fit S-5670 has very low internal memory and all because of that i'm finding it difficult to install some the bigger apps. As soon as the memory usage reaches 160 MB it starts notifying me about the low memory. Even when all of my apps are in memory card i still get low memory problem.
I was wondering if there is any way by which i can increase the memory even by a small amount. I've already rooted my device and using a custom stock rom. Please suggest any means of increasing the memory.
Thank you in advance.

You can ODEX your ROM. That will reduce the ROM size to almost 7-8 MB and you'll have the remaining memory to install your apps.. Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:
Edit: You can find the link to the ODEX script in my signature.

I would recommend you to install cronmod int2ext+ script.
Also, try switching from stock to cm7.
I have around 400mb of apps on external memory and 100mb in my data partition.
If you want even more memory you can try other cronmod scripts that mount data on sd-ext

Thank you very much. One more question.

Thank you very much for your help. I've odexed my whole device and freed up quite a lot of space. But i want to ask you question than can i do this on a Cyanogenmod. I'm planning to flash Cyanogenmod :-[DEV][ROM][4.4]Cyanogenmod 11[WIP][ALPHA-5]
I was wondering it it is possible to Odexed this mod or if these mod are already odexed?
How much space will i have if i flash this rom on my fit device. Thanks.

The ROM you mentioned is not ODEXED.. You'll have to ODEX it.. I'm not aware about the memory that will be saved but you can give it a try.. No harm in experimenting :silly:
My suggestion: Stick with your current ROM. CM11 is still under development and I'm not sure whether a stable build has been released till date.
The suggestion by @Harpratap is also very useful. You can try that. My SD card is only 2GB which restricts me to do so.
Hope this helps!

Swap File on Internal SD - Good or Bad?

Hello Everyone,
I followed the instructions from this link, using Swapper for Root and Swapper 2 to install a 512k swap file on my internal SD. I http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575681 My G2x, running rooted GB 2.3.4 with Faux 014b kernel, seems to run better and is definitely less laggy. However, I've read here that it is not a good idea to put swap files on the internal SD as it only has about 10,000 write cycles and could wear out: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25772/how-can-i-use-my-internal-storage-as-extra-ram .
Do any of you have any advice, opinions or experience on the subject?

I have increased my swap file size to 1gb and changed my launcher to a small and fast launcher called Hola Launcher. It continues to work well.
