Hi everyone.
I have Link2SD installed and i have improved my memory space for data in ext2 partition.
Now I have 350mb available in my internal memory (/data) and 500 mb in system memory (/data/ext2).
The issue is that I can not install some apps, but others yes, even if they have much larger dimensions (e.g Google Apps).
I have change the path installation by Link2sd from internal to external, deactivated the same app (in conjuction with the Plus version) and reactivated but nothing good...
I have ViperSV 1.6.0 on board, and this is a restored version from backup. Earlier with the same rom, this apps were regularly installed on my sd card (moved not linked), but now, after I have restored my rom, I can not do the same thing.
In the meantime, however, other 14 apps are reguarly moved to the sd card and 51 are linked...
Please help me...

I used the root.bat method to enable Apps2SD on my LG Optimus GT540 - Eclair, today. I've installed atleast 80 apps yet, n leaving few aside, most of the apps are installing on the SD card.
But, now when I plugged in my SD card thru a card reader to check how much of the Ext2 partition is filled with app installation, I found that only 16mb of the 512mb partition is filled !!!
The phone isnt storing apps on the internal storage, as earlier, it had 98mb internal memory n now 75mb coz some of the apps automatically installed on the internal memory. Where the hell is it installing the apps then?
What the hell is going on?

I kind of have an idea of what's happening here but I don't know how to explain but I'll try. In froyo, when you move the apps to sd card, the size of the app "reduces". That is, if it takes about 5 MB in internal storage, it'll take only some KBs in the memory card, the app is saved in the memory card but it takes a lot less space. I don't know why but this is the case on froyo. I hope I've helped you in someway!
^^Your clarification did help, but now I've installed arnd 150 apps n many of them are large games of 6-10mb, but still the Ext2 is filled only 16mb !!! Its not like its being compressed in Froyo, like u explained, but its something much stranger, coz even if it takes memory in kbs on the SD card in Froyo, its not taking ANY space in my case.
If we assume that the Partition tool that I used on PC isnt reading the installed Ext2 for some reason, then it should have either displayed that the Ext2 parition is EMPTY or the actual size of 150 apps installed, but why only 16mb still?
And another query is y does it install some apps on the internal memory?

Check the standard SD partition free space, because maybe the apps are not being moved to ext2 but to normal sd partition.

the same thing happened to me!
^^The above has been solved now.
I thnk the reason for that is all apps cannot be installed on the SD card (even after this method of Apps2SD), due to app permissions or something else I'm not aware of.
I used the app AndRootFile to check out where the apps are being installed. They're installed at System/sdcard/app. This app clearly states the size of the parition created n how much of it is used currently, at the top, in my case 512mb ext2 parition.
Okay, so I have an HTC Explorer, which I rooted recently (Factory reset BEFORE rooting, so that everything is clean). Installed Link2SD on it with an external FAT32 second partition of 512 MB. Then I proceeded to install all my backed-up apps.
Now, the problem I am having, is that Link2SD would create links to all the existing apps(As well as Auto-Link is turned on) but The apps are still taking up space in Internal memory.
For example, say, I have 50 MB of free space and I install Titanium Backup, which is 5 MB, and then Link2SD will link it automatically, but I will still have 45 MB of space left in the internal memory :-/
Help please? I am using Stock HTC Explorer ROM.

I am also having this problem ... Have just tested with Zombiebooth App ...
The app is 30mb was on the SD card (APP2SD standard), moved back to internal it took up 30mb, and then LINK2SD it over to the EXT4 partiton on my sdcard .. it shows the memory space is still using 26mb internal .. WTF .. why is the app still using 26mb ? surely LINK2SD should move all 30mb over and just create a small link on the internal memory ??
EDIT: Just read FAQ's of LINK2SD ... some internal files of an app are still left behind on internal memory in the \data\data folder ...
Wonder if it is still possible to move/link these remaining files over too ? There must be a reason why they're left behind
you guys should try cronmod D2EXT+, here. It's work like a charm on my Galaxy Ace, before i had 180 Mb n after i used it my internal memory become 2 Gb. try it n you'll be amazed...
Or you can just use int2ext+ now. but thanks for the advice.
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers!

You could also use Link2sd to make room on your internal storage.
the error you are facing is because once your internal storage is filled by approx. 85-90%, it shows the error - Insufficient Storage available
Try moving your apps to sd-card from settings/apps. if you moved them already, have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you can partition your sd-card to make space on internal storage. this can be done either Minitool Partition software for PC or through your CWM or TWRP recovery(needs root and custom recovery flashed)
what it does is, it takes a part of your sd card and converts it for internal storage.
If you have problem with the Playstore, you can root and install a newer version of the playstore. try this though i may not be sure about this
Google for the method as i cannot posts links currently
Cheers
Hi,
I'm running a stock, rooted ROM and I'm having about 1.2 GB free internal storage at the moment. I also have a 32 GB Class 10 exFAT SD card.
On a daily basis I have no problems, but there are few interesting games, each being ~1 GB.
How could I install more at a time?
I have an unlocked version of FolderMount and I'm wondering which directories are safe to link.
I once linked entire internal user storage (folder "0"), but it resulted in significant performance loss and unexpected errors and restarts, which eventually led me to an unevitable factory reset.
Now I've linked the data/dalvik-cache folder and I've experienced massive errors, like soft keys not working or none of the apps (system included) working after the automatic linking. Luckily, I somehow managed to unlink before it's started to link.
So again, what are your tips and tricks for getting some more space and being able to install huge apps?
And one more thing: I'm staying on a stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone
This may seem like a stupid question, but when new OS upgrades come out, do they replace the old one entirely or does it sit alongside the old OS? Additionally when apps update do they replace the old app files or does it mount on top of the already existing app? The reason I'm asking this is because my old HTC Wildfire S (which I had to root soon after using Link2SD to improve storage) had poor internal storage by default and the only for me to get an app to update was to uninstall it and install the latest update straight from the Play Store.
My current Motorola Moto G 4G only has an advertised 8GB internal storage and I can no longer update any more apps because it is full.
I've moved several apps already to my SD card (the ones I rarely use) leaving the apps I use daily on the internal storage for better performance.
Relating to SD cards, if I have apps installed on my SD card and I backup that SD card on NTFS external HDD for example, wipe my SD card and transfer the backup to the SD card, will the apps installed continue to work?
Many thanks

So regarding your first question, when your internal storage is full, you can't update apps because android first download the complete apk file and then updates it. If you don't have space then it can't be updated which means to update a 30 MB app, you need more 30 MB free.
Then regarding your second question, yes, if your apps have data installed on your SD card, they will work when you backup and put the SD card back hence giving them the data back. But make sure its completely installed on your SD card.
Hope I helped.
