[Q] Managing memory

Hi,
Can anybody give me some tips on how to maximize the memory available to this tablet? There's only about 4GB of available memory for apps. I have a 32GB sdcard but that's not a lot of help because Link2SD isn't able to move the apps completely to the card.
I am looking for a way to either free up more internal memory, or at least make use of the sdcard more effectively. One of my problems right now is that one o the book readers I use like to import the books that I add to its library into the internal card. Frustrating. I would appreciate any help or resource you guys could point me to.
Thanks,

if brother you are rooted you can uninstall unwanted system apps from tab memory and should move apps to sd card
and also wipe cache partition in recovery

Thanks! I didn't realize I could wipe the cache partition. I am still a relative noob to all of this because my main devices are on Windows Phone and I am only using the Galaxy tab primarily as an ebook and comic book reader (which brought about the problem of low storage space when I tried to organize my library files on it.
Follow up question: Regarding moving apps to the SD card, this is where I am stumped. I think I probably did something wrong along the way while installing link2sd or formatting my SD card. I always get an error saying that "Link2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from internal storage."
Do you guys have any idea on how best to handle this? A quick search on the internet did not give me a lot of options. At this point it seems like I'd probably end up just starting from scratch, wiping out my SD card (or maybe it's also just me wanting to justify trying out a new rom).

Hi there,
Here's a thread about SD cards that may help you:
[GUIDE] The Generic SD Issue (READ FIRST)
However not all SD cards can be saved. Sometimes when they're corrupt its just time to get a new better one.
Good luck

[Completed] [Q] Increasing the partion size

Sir,
I have a doubt. If we use the sd card to increase the internal memory. Does it damage or degrade my sd card.

Hi,
It's possible to do that safely, and it's possible to mess it up and cause serious issues. But I can't point you towards help until I know your device make and model number.
Thanks!

Hmm ... hard to say without knowing your exact device and what you want to achieve.
Here is a general guide for increasing internal memory by partitioning: [Guide] INCREASING INTERNAL MEMORY.
And here is another one: [GUIDE] Partition SDCard & Install Memory Increasing Scripts(Ungaze,D2EXT+,MOUNTS2SD) ... but it's originally for a special device.
Best is to search your device specific forum, or post your device's details to get more specific help and advices.

Thread closed and thank you.

[Completed] Can i reverse the process of mounts2sd(apps back to internal)?-Galaxy XCover2, CM10.1

Hi!
I recently used application Mounts2sd on my samsung galaxy XCover2 (s7710) to move the apps from internal storage to sd (i am running Cyanogenmod 10.1). I moved my applications and media files to sd card, but I left the cache and system apps on internal storage. After that my applications started lagging (UC Browser is lagging all the time for example), so I would like to move the apps back from sd card to internal storage. Is this possible without previous backup? Or do I have to factory reset the phone? I didn't find anything on that subject on google.... Thank you in advance!

[Completed] external SD card showing as sdcard0 and acting as internal memory what to do?

Hello guys! I recently bought a gionee P5W,the phone is really good looking and a fast tasker. However I am facing a problem the external sd card(16gb) is being shown as sdcard0 however it should be sdcard1 also all the system files from camera images,Bluetooth files to apps downloaded from third-party appstore everything is being stored in this external sd card also there are certain apps which are caches & data in both internal & external storage at this rate my external sd card run out of space I use that card in multiple devices so I can't afford that also in case I remove it some stop working. When I checked in settings and the phone's bundled file explorer there the external sd card was shown as external storage but can't find any way to correct this. Also this all started after I removed external sd while the phone was running, and when I put it back error was shown "sd card damaged
Please format to use" but I continued without formating I think this info will useful to ones who may try to solve problem . I will tell about my phone, its a gionee P5W with 1gb ram, 1.3ghz quad-core arm 7, and android lollipop
So I want to stop & want that card to be shown as sdcard 1 like all other android devices and store data in its internal storage. Please If anyone can help, please help me I will highly gratefull to you.
