Yup, I second that. Great app, and works great across builds. I just migrated from FroyoStone v3.1 to the FroyoHD beta and all my apps, messages etc were transferred.

is the free version enough?? or do i have 2 buy the pro one??

and if so.. how do i make a system copy with it? lool the tool is complicated!

Free version is fine, it's what I use.
http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php <-- 5 seconds on google took me to the wiki which is what I used to learn how to operate the software.

I'd recommend paying the small amount for the full version. With the lite version you have to click "install" and "done" for most apps when you restore. I had over 200 apps on my last restore so that would have taken quite a while!

just copy the current date.img to the new Android .

Nand internal storage problem

hi
i have installed nexushd2 froyo Nand rom, and it's runing fine. but i just got 21 mb left on the internal storage, so i can't instal any apps or update.
i have tried to use app2sd but don't help anything, and have looked at some other treads but didn't help much

Load up app2sd and then move your apps to your SD card, simple! You can also use programs like Titanium backup to move them also.
If you cant figure out how to move them there isnt much hope for you im affraid.
Alternativley you should give a ROM a go that has App2SD+ or Data2Sd but you will have to create a partition on your SD card either via CWR or via a partition software. Once this is done all your apps will automatically be moved to SD when using App2SD+ or if you use Data2SD your partition will actually be a aextension of your internal memory which is much better

I haved moved all my app from sd card but didnt help

Dude that is completley normal! How much internal storage do you think your device has?

I have the US T-mo version and i am having the same issue as the original poster. The issue is that apparently 200 + mb's left is not enough for me. The phone decides which ones I can move and which ones go to the internal memory. Likewise App2sd is only moving a few apps. Not all the ones I am newly downloading.
I am also experienced a recent problem. I tried to open up pictures with the 3d gallery to view photos. the program started up and then the low disk error appeared out of nowhere then the gallery shut down!?!?!? Now how does this get remedied? this is not an issue for app2sd (that i know of) or moving anything is it?
thanks in advance

Yes it is a EU version, so I have to live with that i can't install Any app?

Try clearing the cache of the installed app form manage applicatoins section under settings,and then see if it works.Also check that the data is in a folder such as games/asphalt/data,if not place it over there.
Hope this helps.

Well..the extreme would be factory reset/load stock fast boot images and OTA up to 4.1.2. Other possibilities - is there a possibility that your Wi-Fi connection is not cooperating with the Xoom? Did you move/remove any system files after routing that may cause a problem? If I had a clear cut answer I'd give it to you. Try some Google searching - you may be surprised with your findings.

have you tried different browsers? Try Opera Mobile. Also go to market and and install an app that allows you to download any file like "Download All"
These may or may not work so try them first.

check if there is enough free disk space for the file you are trying to download.

Try going into your file manager delete some unused files : cache, downloads, any folder you don't need delete. This has always worked for me and frees up a ton of memory. Simply cleaning download manager and cache in recovery doesn't free up space as the files are still there.

The only reason for a download to be unsuccessful is a loss of connectivity... A timeout or inability to connect to the download server. That presumes the download starts but fails. If the download doesn't even start, that's a browser issue. The above also presumes you can download the files from other devices on your wifi.
Try going to another wifi hotspot. See if that makes any difference.
You didn't mention it, but I presume you have room left on your internal storage.

why not try another rom?!? i actually had this problem a lot running EOS a few builds ago and now it seems to have disappeared. usually Dolphin would work when others would not. titanium backup and factory reset?

I was having the same issue with CM 10.1 a couple of weeks ago, stock browser would not download properly and over screen browser seemed tobe much better. Later nightlies seem to have resolved the issue so most likely ROM based. Try another ROM and see if it clears the problem.
Good luck and hope you sort it out.

Yeah I used apps2sd for a bit to try it out. I could move most apps but some would not work. However your ABSOLUTE BEST option in this regard would be to use data2sd. This moves the entire /data partition to a class 10 SD card. So all your apps will be installed there. This gives a MASSIVE I/O boost. I think you will like how fast your tablet is after enabling data2sd.

Haha nooooo it is a kernel tweak. The easiest way is to flash a kernel that has it included. You also will need a partitioning software on your computer to partition your SD card. This isn't a simple, install an app and enable something. That being said, its not that complicated. Although, I don't think its working quite right on 4.2.1 right now, as kernels are still relatively new. But if you are on 4.1.1 (or downgrade) there are multiple kernels that have it.
Edit: here is the thread with a guide (its for tf700 but its the same process, just use the right kernels) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507
And here is a link to a stock kernel with the data2sd patch enabled. Remember this is for 4.1.1 boot loader and you must complete above guide first to format your card.

Also, all this info is in the CROMI 2.x thread.
None of this is mine. I just posted the relevant links. All thanks for creation go to the original threads

Yes this app works great, you can move apps to the primary partition(FAT) of your sdcard, or you can sym link them to an EXT partition, so they are on your SDcard, but android doesn't know they are, so you can still create widgets from the apps.
I use this on my razr maxx and my TF300t.

Best i can remember:
Open the app
Grant super user permissions
Let it install a script
Reboot(dont remember if it asks you to reboot or not, but i had to reboot in order for it to work
After the reboot, open the app, and long press on any non system app and select link to sym link to the EXT partition, or select move to move the app to SD(native android method).

Nope...nothing has worked.

Bro data2sd is being implemented in 4.2... check CROMI-X thread. This is exactly what your looking for and it will remove the crappy I/O limitations of asus's crap hardware. This will speed up your tab. At least look into it man. All you need to do is partition your SD card with gparted then flash a data2sd kernel and boom. Your entire /data partition is moved to your SD card so ALLLL apps can be installed there AND save their data there.
EDIT just saw that your still locked... SORRY! Above info requires unlocked bootloader. =( but if you want the most out of this tab I recommend unlocking and flashing some better firmware. Stock speeds are just so miserable IMHO...

Looks like I'll have to jump that direction...just see so many posts of bricked tabs freaks me out..haha

Hey man, I believe in you haha. But most bricks recently were caused by updating to 4.2. Since your already on 4.2, you only have to unlock and flash recovery via fast boot. JUST MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE CORRECT RECOVERY. there is a very specific version on twrp for 4.2. Many people have bricked by foolishly flashing the 4.1.1 twrp. As long as you have the correct twrp, and dont do anything foolish you won't be in any danger.
This guide has instructions AND the correct version of twrp

Yes this is a viable option if you wish to remain locked. Also you can Use the guide for data2sd to partition your SD card (if you wish) cuz its the same exact process. However you will not be able to move your /data partition like with data2sd. If your just trying to save space on internal storage, link2sd should suite your needs just fine. Ide say try link2sd first, then if your unsatisfied, all you have to do is unlock and flash a kernel with data2sd cause your SD card will already be partitioned!!! You've got nothing to loose with link2sd so might as well start there. =)

So I got Link2SD working - cool! :good: saved me about 1GB +
Now..my other problem and I don't really know where to go with one...
It says my SYSTEM storage is at 4% LEFT..that's all. It wont even allow me to update an app because it says insufficient memory available.
So does this mean end of the line for it and its time go unlock and go custom?? Any other suggestions or ides?

Excellent, glad to here you got it working. I find apps that I move to my SDcard also run much faster because the SDcard is so much faster than the internal memory.
As for your system, this is nothing to worry about. The system partition is READ ONLY. The main components of the rom are stored there, and nothing is added or taken away from this partition unless you are wiping or flashing roms.
Short answer, it will never move from 4%, up or down, even if you installed 100 apps, or uninstalled very thing you have. When you install apps, uninstall them, or move them to SD, you will be effecting the DATA partition.
Hope this helps.

Excellent explanation thank you! I'm actually leaning towards unlocking and going with Cromi-X as Mark suggested...I'm thinking the Data2SD will give me more of what I truly need...and that seems to be I need more space for all the apps installed.
