What is the best storage location?? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys hope someone have experienced it but i want to know what would be the best storage location for apps? Would the phone run faster if they are in phones memory? Or the sdcard?
Is there any differece about it??
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

It depends on your sd card class a. Class 10 would be faster than internal memory

Thanks for reply.! I currently have 8gb class 4 what would u think? Keep apps on internal memory or on sdcard?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

Class 4 is enough for smooth running from sd card,but faster is better!

mine's 8gb class 4 too and it seems fine for me,well apps which has widgets etc shud be installed on internel memory,other apps and games to sd card,install app2sd,it will notify automatically whether the app can be moved to sdcard or shud be left on internal memory

With class 4 there is always problems with your phone recognizing the SD card. Class 4 will work on stock but most of the time it wont work on a custom kernel. I always suggest people to get a class 10. Search the internet you will get it for cheap
Stuff that you have running the whole time you need keep them in memory. With games i suggest putting them on an external SD card. Even if its a slow SD card you save space with your internal memory.

Thanks for the reply guys hey have someone ever tried partitioning the sdcard, and would the phone read the 2 partitions as external storage? Might be a noobi question
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

With app2sd app u create 2 partition,one for storage and one for app2sd.U see one partition(for storage),other is "invisible" because it is for moving apps to sd card.

I have a class 4 16 gb. Its is ok for running games and other stuff. For important stuff, like things that need SU and things you use daily, it is best to keep it in phone memory.

Use ext2 for the second partition. And use app2sd script to make it work =D

When you say it is slow, you mean launching and using apps is slow? Or the linking/moving process?
I'm also thinking about using one of these 2 apps, so i'm interested in the answers you will get here

What class is your sdcard? It might be that the card itself is slow?
You have the same problem when you install apps directly on the sdcard?
Sorry to post more questions than answers, but I really wanted to try it, but if it slows down apps, maybe, I will try something else.

Ok, but do you which class it is?
It should be written inside a circle on your card.
Class 10 is really fast, for example. But if you have a class 4 card, or less, that could be what slows down apps.
Btw I prefer Link2SD because I can choose which apps can go to the SD Card

Maybe that is why it is slower than on your internal memory.
Did you notice the same slow down when you simply move apps on SD, the "classic" way?
By the way, I installed Link2sd yesterday, with an ext4 partition on a class 10 card, and it seems to work fine for now.
Only weird thing I noticed : with the rom I use, link2sd was unable to install the mounting script if i selected ext4 as a partition type.
When I selected ext3, it worked. I read that some roms have trouble with ext4, and others with ext3, but I didn't think I could mount a ext4 formatted partition as an ext3.
I'm using link2sd with a class 10 sdcard and there still are no lags...Everything smooth and fast (Rom: CyanogenMod7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4)

Link2sd is the best for me. I am using link2sd about 3 months and I can say that's the best. But if you dont think like that, you can try app2sd or s2e.

the rom itself change ext4 u made to ext3....
A little update.
After one day of use, I managed to have my sd-ext partition messed up.
It could only be mounted read-only.
I had to reinstall everything.
So maybe I will try some alternatives like a2sd.
For those who tried these apps, which partition type do you recommand? fat? ext2, 3, or 4?
I'm using Link2sd. DT A2SD is buggy to me. Link2sd works great on CM9 beta 8 with my Sandisk 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6

is anyone using "better class sdcards"? (i mean better then class 4)
is it useful to buy one of those for our mini?
You got it wrong. Biger class cards are worse than class 2 and 4 if you want to use it for android internal memory. For example mine class 4 sandisk 16gb have 4 mb transfer rate on large files. Witch is slower than class 10 yea. But what is important is random acess speed on lower files. Mine have there 1 mb/s while class 10 have in general 0.01-0.2.
So if you want card for daily transfer huge files from pc to card then go class 10.
If you want card for android internal storage, sd ext partition then go sandisk class 2 or 4.

Use external sd card as internal sd card?

I have a samsung galaxy gt-i9001 and I am a big fan of gameloft and there games. I play a lot of different games on my phone. But slowly my internal sd card begins to fill up. Now i only have 5 mb left. But i have a 16 gb micro sd card. And there is plenty of memory left there. I was wondering if it is possible to mount my external sd card as my internal sd card, so there will be more space for games and other files needed for apps. Currently i am on the latest cm9 rom. But i am willing to change this.
Also sorry if this question allready was answerd in a different thread. I googled the question but nothing came up.
Also sorry for bad english.

go in settings/apps/pn sd card/pres app/mount to sd card.
No. Thats not it. Thanks for reply anyway. I would like that my phone "thinks" that my external sd card, my internal sd card is. (Sorry for bad english) so that then actually swap. So when a game saved data automatically on the internal sd card, it will actually be stored on my external sd card... but the apps think they store data in internal...
Am i so unclear?

This swaps only the mountpoints from sdcards
he wants a linux swap partition which is handled by the phone as ram. More like a outlay of ram!

Yes! You can do that by swapping.
Search for swapper on play store. But its only good if u use class 6 or 10 sd card.

can you suggest a good 4gb sd card for my ace with which i can partition my sd card and also use swapper also is there a way with which i can check class of my sd card that came with my ace
Class is written on ur sd card itself.
Ex. if u have a class 4 now, its written 4 inside "c" on sd card
And i would suggest u sandisk 8gb class 6 or 10 sd card.
Because i think 4 gb will be very low as if u give 1 gb to ur system then also u'll get only 3gb. Very less for me
But if u want 4 gb, then also sandisk 4gb class 6 or 10

Don't use swap. It killed my brand new memory card tragically. There are many other ways to have a better ram usage. Try them !

@adinatsu I recommend you not to use swap as it would have a negative impact on your microsd. I had a class 10 sanddisk 16gb which died testing this
