[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:

Hi... thanks ,but still confuse;
Can I confirm that after rooting I will install games/apps directly to SD card ???

Yes.
There is a very good chance that u can install games directly to external sd without rooting also.

Backup internal and external sd cards and format them.
Make .nomedia files in folders that you don't want to be shown in gallery.
It helped on my device.

check that folder, on internalSD: /mnt/sdcard/Android...look for any pics(*.jpg/jpeg).
erase them, after you backup if need, and reboot.

there isn't any pic in my "mnt/sdcard/Android" directory..but i'v slow scanning in ics...

I just found another thing and the card is loading faster. I used Hide it pro app but when I changed rom everything was gone but the folder stqyed on SD. I had poweramp set up to read programdata folder (the one where does media hide) so hidden songs showed up in poweramp.after deleting at least 4 folders called program data (at least 500mb each) SD loads faster

Also, read buffer size do affect reading speed as well as writing in some case - by default, 256 KB buffer for some official ROMs, and 1 MB for CyanogenMod.
BTW, UHS-1 (Ultra Class 10) speed may also be the best bet for external SD, since if you try to move some apps into EXT2/4 partition on microSDHC/SDXC, slow SD card will only make the apps naggy and complain of abysmal read speed. There's also the warnings about THIS in some app2sd apps and/or data/cache mover apps.

How about Class 6 SD Card.
I have 16 GB one from Samsung.
Seems like you are familiar with those things. I have swap partition on it and it's not perfect but it's big unlike the internal swap partition which is 130 MB.

How can i find out my sd's class? And i've never did swap thing because it says that it shortens sd life

There must be a number on your card.
That is your class.

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 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. Here's what I did! 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)

erm app auto downloads to internal memory
fixed it :
went to settings->apps->internal->hungry shark evo -> clear cache -> move to phone memory
will try and see if this works for subway surfers too
ty for helping me

i redownloaded subway surfers and had the same blank screen. I went to settings->apps and fount that it auto installed to internal memory not phone memory this was due to the fact that i moved the app to internal memory when i was using 4.1.2. I cleared cache and moved it to phone memory from internal and again moved it to internal now it works fine.
Possible issue: some of the apps i have moved to internal mem from phone in 4.1.2 auto reinstalled to intrenal in 4.2.2 this causes a path error causing the app to not work properly. Strangely other games such as temple run 2 didnt have the issue

Glad to help!

Can't move viber to sd card

Recently I installed viber but it can't moved to sd card. The 'move to sd card feature' wasn't there. I know viber can be moved to sd card so please help
Note: Installed latest version of viber

Not all apps are installed to SD card. BBM for one. guess viber is another. If you're trying to avoid lagging then you should read this piece on How to easily make an Android phone run faster or stop lagging as it explains other techniques you could apply

Laging is not the problem the problem is low internal memory
