[Q] Number application limit ?

Is there any limit to the number of application that can be installed to this device?
I'm using app2sd Amarullz script. I've tried Darktremor and also s2e.
But after I installed a lot of applications (only takes about 200MB of my ext partition), I can't install anything more. Everytime I tried, it always get reboot while installing.
but after I remove some apps, I can install it.

i had like 304 apps installed...but no reboot when tried to add new ones...in fact the only thing that happened to me was extreme lags

what a2sd u are using?
your size of ext partition?
sorry I kinda curious what happened to me...

i have 300+ app, and doesn't have such problem.
i'm using ungaze, never try amarulz.
what ROM are u using?

If you mean the ext partition, it isn't. I have 1.28GB ext partition and I've just used around 200MB.
is it because I also use swap?

have not tried amarullz, but ur prob is sd-ext is mounted as read only and not read write.(check using rootexplorer or by any other means)
but u say after u uninstall some u can install again? i dont know abt that.

yes, after I uninstall some, I can install some. That's why i think the problem is application number or too much partition size that the device can't handle?
I've make a smaller partition of ext4. now it's about 800MB.
and 300MB swap.

why u change u'r partition?
i have 1,1 GB ext4 and only 100MB swap.

lol 64mb swap will do.
still tell me if ur sd-ext is mounted as r/w or r/o

there is no limit for the apps that u keep but the thing is u should have enough phone memory free so that your phone doesn't lag and runs smooth

I've opened Root Explorer and open /sd-ext. It's r/w.
that's should be right that, isn't it?

I have more than 250 apps, and i'm having problems - launcher forced close.
Problems disappear if i remove - or quarantine/freeze - apps.
Seeem to me that it's worst with apps that scan for apps list - titanium backup, or others apps manager.
I do not use any a2sd progs - just the native 'move to sd' feature, with the hack to bypass original settings, used to mov e in SD freezed (unused) apps.
Another - separate - issue is memory occupation...
Seem to me that updating apps do not remove the older apps - this is surely true with ROM apps - so i get a lot of memory wasted.
Another - separate - issue is RAM, or run-time memory... Android should manage it on its own - but still i'm not so confident that errors do not occurs with heavy load.

I thinj maybe the prob is your sdcard. Try purchase highend sdcard like classt10

[Q][ASAP]How to Increase my System Storage

Help Me!
I have installed many apps and my SYSTEM MEMORY getting low at 8.86 MB free of 157 MB
But my INTERNAL MEMORY has 142 MB free of 1024 MB and my SD CARD has 2.06 GB free of 3.69 GB
I tried use Link2SD and move all apps to SD card, but this app doesn't help me much on lowering SYSTEM MEMORY usage.
How can i solve this? Should I use more partition or install some scripts?
I capitalize the word to prevent some people misunderstand system memory and internal memory
Also sorry for my bad english

Which rom are you using, all GB have the option to just move your apps to SD though, you don't need Link2SD app, go to manage aplications chose the app you want to move to SD click on it and chose move to SD

I use standard ROM. But Link2SD same with standard way in moving apps to SD, right? But why my system storage getting full when install some apps?

Please somebody help me! I need the answer

Is your phone rooted? If not, root it. Search the forum. Once rooted, install an app called Droidsail app2 SD. Using this app, you can move all the apps to SD card. Including apps like Facebook which do not support Move to SD.

What's standard? I guess you mean stock firmware, but is it Frozen yogurt or gingerbread?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

First get your phone rooted.
Install Titanium Backup paid version, not free
Select that app you want to move to sd card, then in options click the option to convert to user app from system app ...if it is system app
do all like this, you can move all apps with this process to sd card (don't experiment with system apps)
Try only on apps that installs in internal memory and not movable to sd option
press THANKS button if I helped...

[Q] Changing default path for installation apps

Hello guys,
I'm sorry if this was a repeated question.
But i was wondering how we can change our default installation path on galaxy note?
Because the problem is everytime i download something from google play, its installed in the phone memory which is only around 1,5Gb
What's the use of 11Gb that we had on usb storage then? Can we somehow change the default path to usb storage?
And i don't want to use external SD card. I think that's all, thanks guys! Waiting for your respons!

11gb internal storage is called sd card. App2sd is what you need.

I've tried that and it refers to the original function of move to sd card from the application settings. And it didn't work it says couldn't move not enough storage space and its because i dont have any sd card insert.
Therefore 11Gb usb storage only useful for extended game data and photo or music?

Using App2SD you can only move some part of an app to the 11GB (called as SD card or internal SD) memory..also, you cant move each & every app, since some apps needs to be on the Phone memory (memory which shows ~2GB)..I am using App2SD to reduce the load on Phone memory..it wl b useful for apps/games, especially which r bigger in size..what I believe is the more you keep the Phone memory free, the more faster your phone will be..

Thats a better option..buy a 32GB memory card & move all the stuffs like movies, music, photos, docs etc etc etc to it..use 2GB+11GB (in built memory) only for apps, games & their data..
Even 64GB card works on our Note, as per the below thread:

I know this is a very late reply sorry
but i wonder you were talking about moving apps 2 sd
However, i moved all apps that are movable, i have no pics, videos, music or whatsoever . Yet, the internal storage gets full very fast to extend that i can't update apps anymore
I hope during the last 4 years someone figured out a solution
my phone has a custom lollipop rom and its rooted

Hi,
Link2sd can not link all data to sdcard. It leaves files in \data.
Some apps use cache, and it is stored also in the external memory. There is an option in link2sd, where you can delete cache.

I never used cronmod, but as i know, it mounts the partiton like it would be internal mem. I think you should move back the apps what are linked, and before u use cronmod, delete link2sd.

[Q] New to SD-ext

Hello, I am new to SD-ext and Link2SD and such things, I googled around a little and found the most suitable solutions for the internal memory shortage of CM10.1 is either Link2SD or INT2EXT+
Now I want to ask, which is better at performance, more stable?
I would have went around experimenting as they say but the problem is that I don't know how to remove either of them, so please tell me that too, so if I didn't like one of them I remove it and try the other.
That's all for now, thanks in advance!

I would suggest int2ext, because effectively it increases the size of your internal storage instead of moving apps to sd. As long as you have a class 10 or better sd, you won't notice any difference in performance.

Unluckily I don't have a class 10 SD right now and I doubt my ability to get one for a while. Currently having a Class 4 16GB SD, what do you think would work best?

You can still use int2ext, but you will get a quite noticeable performance decrease. Just test it! To remove just go to system/etc/init.d, then you can just remove its files.

I actually tried Link2SD (With a EXT4) but it didn't read or create a script. I googled, people said use EXT2, so I just said, since it didn't work, let's try INT2EXT.
I flashed it (without removing Link2SD) and nothing changed...
I, just now, removed Link2SD and restarted: no changed.
What do you advice me to do? ((I think the problem is because this ROM doesn't support EXT4, but I am not sure of course))

Int2ext needs ext 4. After removing link2sd, you should reposition your sd to ext 4. And which Rom you have? Because current ones are all sporting init.d, so they support sdext.

EDIT: Nothing new: After reinstalling it and choosing EXT4 it still say "Mount script cannot be created"
NEW EDIT: I apologise, I now know where did the error come from, I stupidly enough installed an EXT3 instead of EXT4.

Well, seems I should really change it from EXT4 to 2, I guess that's what I will try.
Thanks everyone so far! :good:

Since you have the latest CM10.1 nightly.. I suggest u try this..
Take a complete back up of your SD card.
Make sure u have uninstalled any apps and removed any scripts related to link2sd and such scripts. (When there's any doubt whether the old scripts would cause any problem, i always prefer wiping the device and freshly installing the rom to avoid any mistakes)
If u do not have any problem flashing the ROM again, i really suggest u to do so and then do the below steps. Definitely should work.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Go to advanced option and select SD partitioning option
Select the partition size as 1024mb and swap size as 0mb.
Proceed with partitioning.
Reboot your device.
Save fixed-int2ext+ for android 4.2..1 by CronicCorey on the root of your SD card..
Boot into recovery again.
Go to mounts and storage option and mount data, system and sd-ext.
Go to install zip from SD card.. Choose zip from SD card.. Select the int2ext+ script.
After installation.. Go to mounts and storage and unmount data and system and format sd-ext.
Now reboot the device and check.. It'll be done.
I have done this many times and it's worked. I use 16gb class 4.. No issues.. Smooth for me..
After installing this script.. Make sure u dont wipe dalvik cache using recovery mode. Your device will get into boot loop.. Use wipe dalvik cache script specifically created for int2ext by croniccorey..
