[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?

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

Yes it needs to be TWRP for that,after you flash file for storage you need to install from /tmp again and it should work
i dont know why,try to flash again rom,for me everything works without problem

[Q] How do you live with only 4GB of storage ?

Hello,
I am a new owner of a S3 mini. I tried many differents tweaks to move my apps to sd card (including Link2SD) but none worked.
So I am now stuck with only 4Gb of Storage, my device is already full (some updates cannot be done).
So I was wondering how you guys deal with this storage limitation ?
Thanks

I have only 1 GB in use (100 apps)

Same here. 3.5gb free. All I've done is to use foldermount to mount my navigon maps to external sd.
No games installed. I use my PS3 for that

Thanks a lot, I'll check foldermount.

482 mb free
I have 482mb free on my internal storage , and I use ex. card but it's obly 2gb so I'm planing to buy bigger one

Finally I tested Foldermount : this is the only app I could use with success to move apps to the SD card ...
So thanks a lot for this information !
But I have one question : I could not find any tutorial about Foldermount, the only way I know how to move apps is to select the app folder and the destination app. This is not very friendly ... The S3 mini is for my girlfriend, I need something as simple as possible (she's not a geek ...).
On Foldermount there is a menu which displays all your apps, but when I select one, the buttons (source or destination) remain grey (unusable) and there is an error message saying something like this app may already be linked to sdcard ...
Is there a tutorial about foldermount ?
Is there a way to use it without the need of selecting each app folder to move ?
Is there a way to just select the app and ask to move it to sd card ?
Thanks

Foldermount doesnt move apps to external sd, but link folders from internal sd to external sd.
I still find it very usefull to link download folder and other things like GPS maps. You can also link those game obb files that get stored in your sd (Android/obb) and free up alot of space if you play games.
You can read the original thread here.

To my point of view, it does move the app to external SD as it moves files to external SD and then create a link in the internal memory to external SD.
If it wouldn't move data to external SD card, this application would have no interest.
The only problem for me with this app is that to use it, you need to know in which folder of your internal memory the app has been installed. It's not very easy for everyone. It would be better if when Foldermount shows the list of your apps, you could just select it and then move it to SD.
This feature seems to be existing but does not work for now. Maybe in a later release ...
Anyway, this is the only "move to SD" app I tried which is working fine with the S3 mini.

Thanks but I already tried this, it does not work : the S3 mini does answer correctly to the ADB commands, it says it's now configured for external storage (2) but when I install an app it still does it on the internal storage ...
Really, I tried many different methods, only Foldermount worked.

DirectoryBind with only one link: /sdcard/Android to /storage/extSdCard/Android
Device should be rooted.
Also, in DirectoryBind preferences you need to enable Bind on boot and Alternate dbase mgmt.
That's all you need. All apps data will be stored on external sdcard including cache of games.

The same can be done with foldermount, and it's still maintained with updates which dirictorybind isn't.

For what you need an updates of DirectoryBind? It does not need any update because it smooth and fully working. Atleast, on 4.1.2.
For 4.2.2 we need to switch to FolderMount or manually add mount to init.d
With FolderMount you cannot mount sdcard/Android, you need to mount each cache folder separately.
Maybe it is fixed already in latest version, dunno. If yes, then I will switch to FolderMount too =)

With "destination folder check" unticked in settings it works fine. Maybe it's a pro feature.

Finally I tried to link sdcard0 to sdcard1 : it seems to work if I look at Foldermount status, but in reality it does not copy anything to the SD card ... This is strange ... Plus after having linked sdcard0 to sdcard1, I cannot remove this link : it says a copy is running and I cannot stop it. In reality nothing is copying, so I need to uninstall Foldermount to remove the link ...

I use Foldermount, it doesn't install them om SD but once installed you can move the LARGE data to SD which comes with alot of the HD games, You have to be rooted though to use it. It's available on the Play Store.

Me too want to know how

Yes, you can. That is the whole point of Foldermount. It links the files you moved to their original location, so the game works as normal.

Basically you have to install folder mount open it (of course), grant super user access, click list of pairs on top, click apps analyser (which is spelt - analyzer), here it will show you a list of apps with the biggest size first so click the one you want to link to the sd card, here it will show you maybe the data and obb and you have to click create pair on the right hand side, it will take a minute or so for it to do, it will show you in the notification bar anyway, once done go back once and click apps analyzer again at the top and then click list of pairs here you will see the list of linked apps with a drawing pin on the right hand side when they are in the sd card the pin is grey and if you click the pin it will turn green and it will link it back into the internal memory so you can play/open the app and use when finished using just go back into folder mount and unpin it or if you are going to go back into that particular later on you can just keep it linked, the idea is that when the apps are not in use all of the data stays on the sd card to preserve internal memory, its only really big apps you need to do this with like gta etc... also when the pin is green the app remains in both the sd card and internal storage, so basically the apps are sort of dormant until you want to use them but it saves memory on the internal storage anyway, so basically install folder mount link the game/app to sd and when you want to use it link it so the internal storage, if you get folder mount for free you can only have three pairs but if you purchase it like I did you can link as many apps as you like as long as you have enough memory on your card lol and to support the developer
hope this helps

[Q] Recommended app for moving apps to sd on stock kitkat?

Hi all,
I have just rooted my phone using the amazing Towelroot app as I want to move my games to my sd card as they take up so much room.
I have created a second partition on my 32gb card using the Aparted app but Titanium backup is still not giving me the option of moving to card.
I have also tried installing Link2sd but unfortunately that just causes a bootloop until I take the sd card out.
Anyone know of an app that will let me move all my games to my sd card as I only have 20% of internal memory left?
I have tried various methods from searching but nothing seems to work for me.
Thanks
