rom memory

I own a hd2 with the lates nand hyperdroid rom, and a a2sd partition on my 16 gig sd card.
Now, my phone's memory is full at the moment. I cant even update my current apps due to low memory. So I deleted 5 apps worth of 4 mb. However i can't still update for example the shazam app, which is a 1,5 mb upgrade.
Now, my questions are.
1. If I delete 4 mb worth of apps, why can't I still update the shazam app? 4-1,5 would mean I have 2,5 mb left, right?
2. Second, how can updating apps cost so much memory. Sometimes I need to deleted a few apps in order to update some apps to the newest version. I assumed a new app version wouldn't cost a lot of extra memory.
3. in titanium backup I see there is 28,9 of system rom, 26,3 of internal memory and 800 mb of a2sd left. How come it says memory is full?4
4. Is there a solution to installing more apps?
I'm sorry if my questions are a bit vage, but it's just frustrating that I cannot install the apps I want.

try going into settings and than applications than manage it should show you a list under downloaded. go into some of your apps you downloaded not widgets or important things that you use like button savior cause they wont wont when on sd card. youll see an option to move to sd card move it wait for it to say move to phone than its complete do that to a couple of apps then try to update the app, but take shazaam out of sd card if its there then try to upgrade it if it doesnt work. or back up all your apps than reflash.

Hi,
I noticed when I moved apps to my sd card using SuperBox,that it moved the app,but left the data on the phone.
If you have apps with large amounts of data(saves,etc.),these will be causing your problem.

Try using root Explorer or something similar and look into the cache folder. Apk files that you download from market are saved there sometimes. You can delete them there. You also can move your dalvik to sdext. Easiest way is a2sdgui.

apps2sd for vega?

I'm running apps2sd on my desire HD just wondered if there's a script for Vega?

Got it working just hadnt partitioned sd
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Hi!
I have a pretty noob question.
Vega has Android OS v2.2 and therefore when you go to "Manage applications" in "Settings" you can move apps to SD card.
I know apps need to have "app2sd" feature in order for this to work (and most apps already have it). And you can't use this if app has a running background process or it's a widget.
I know that if I move an app, it isn't moved totally, it still leaves a few KB on device storage, but that doesn't really bug me.
The moved app works like a charm on Vega and isn't laggy at all.
So, why is app2sd or link2sd needed for the Vega?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone and since the phone has 2GB ROM space, no app2sd is needed and don't exactly know why should I need it on my tablet, I have lots of games and apps installed and still have 135MB free space on internal/device partition.

From my understanding, apps2sd is just a convenient management tool to identify those that can be moved and report on space used. It just takes you to the app screen to perform the actual move. Hence it isn't needed, but just makes life a bit easier if you are installing loads of apps - it also detects at installation time if an app can be moved and reports back.
link2sd is somewhat different and makes use of a separate partition that needs to be on the sd card which is 'android compatible' (i.e. formatted to make a linux 'ext' partition). This allows apps that can't normally be moved to be put on the sd card as it appears to be an extension of the internal memory and in the same format. There are apps that still shouldn't be moved if they need to be available at startup as the sd card takes time to come on line.

Still can't move S4 app data even after update

So I have the I9500DDUBMEA update installed on my I9500 but when I try to move a large app to the SD card via the application manager, it does not free up any space and the application data is still in the internal memory of the phone. Any help?

Hi,
The latest firmwares will let you move the apps to the sd card,but they will not move the data.
This does not help at all.
The only way to do this is to use FOLDERMOUNT
You must be rooted for this.

SM-T230NU system data taking up half of internal storage

I have rooted with vroot to help gain more useable internal storage, and now I have much less. I would like to know how to reduce the amount of system data used for internal storage. I know there is not much development for the 7.0 so any advice is appreciated.

We cant do anything about it. Best you can do is buy a SDCard and install Foldermount

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me how to get Foldermount to work when there is not enough internal storage space for the obb files. It seems you have to install to internal then use foldermount to move to external. Thanks in advance.

I have a tab 4 7' 8g sm-t230nu, but I cant root mine. Vroot never worked. How did you root yours?

You have to remove the august update 1st. DL the May kernel from sammobile.com and use odin.There is a thread on how to do it.

Yup, it should install to internal storage first. Click the add button and select where the obb files are in and then select the destination at where you want them (should be in: /storage/extSDcard/Android/obb/). The app will then move the files to the destination and trick the tab that they are in the internal storage. If you cant install Foldermount, try to delete cache and if that doesn't work remove any apps you dont use. System apps can be turned off and you will gain some space in return. Move as many apps to sdcard using the Settings app. If you still can't do it, I suggest you:
1) Backup Apps and Data
2) Remove Apps
3) Install apps with large obb files
4) Move data using foldermount
5) Reinstall apps you removed with the space you have left.
6) ????
7) Profit
You may noticed that settings will go crazy saying you have used more storage than you have available (example: 12 out 8 GB used). Don't worry about that, it shouldnt affect you at all

Too little space to install apps, how to solve this?

Hey guys.
I have a Tab 7", rooted, which has 8 GB of internal storage.
I have an SD card but I'm a bit at a miss on how to install the apps completely on the card.
I see I have 2.15 GB for System ROM (with 191 MB free) and 5.06 GB (2.90 GB free) for the Internal+Media partition.
Apps are installed on System ROM or Internal+Media? I assume it's System ROM, since the OS has been denying to install very small applications.
So, my question is how can I get more space to install apps?
Any way to install an app directly to the SD Card? Maybe the only choice it to repartition?
Thanks!

Hi,
Normally you cannot install anything in 'system' (but since you have root you can move apks to system). Apps get installed to a partition called /data/ on the internal memory. If you have more than 2gb free and you cannot install apps it means there is something wrong. Repartitioning is very dangerous. Its very easy to brick you device doing that. Have you patched/cracked apps?

i'll probably get kicked out o this forum but, you can try a system cleaner. I was running out of space on my tab two and dumped a ton of space that way. If you have root you can remove a bunch of space hogging crap that you don't use.

Hi what I meant is the system to read my sdcard as my internal memory. By modifying vold.fstab

I wouldnt recommend that but its possible.
The reason i dont recommend it is because what if your sd cadd stops functioning

I see but I have tried it on my other android devices and its works like a charm.
I hope there is a way or there's a way to do it.
Anyway thanks for your help.
