Internal memory full with Link2SD

---

Hi,
Im using Link2SD to link applications to memory card, and i linked almost all of them (100 apps). I left in internal memory only preinstalled apps and GO launcher. Despite that, my internal memory is almost full. I constantly get that warning and I am unable to instal new apps, so i have to uninstall old ones...


What is using my int. memory if all apps are on sd? How can I free some space?

not only Apps will reside in the internal storage. But also the Contacts, Email and all the SYNC info will be cached in the internal storage.

1. Emails:
Please checked your AUTO sync, Sync only when needed and delete unecessary emails.

2. Contacts (FB contacts,SNS accounts)
will used up also storage, dont sync FB activities. Thousand of contacts means a lot.

i do not sync anything with facebook nor use email/gmail apps... Anything else?

This happened the first time I used Link2SD. If you had any apps linked the FroYo way to the sd card before you took out card and formatted it for link2sd, those apps aren't deleted. I noticed this when I mounted the ext2 partition on my computer and some of the files were "Angry Birds Rio_1", including a "_1" whereas others weren't, eg. "Angry Birds Seasons". The ones with the "_1" were duplicates that the phone wasn't picking up AFAIK.

I just factory restored the phone, reformatted the ext2 partition and started again, setting up Link2sd before installing anything else. I had backed up the apps with Titanium and when I restored them all on the factory restored phone and made sure all were linked, I was only using 50mb of internal storage. If I install Angry Birds and link it, the internal memory is still reduced by ~16mb, even though it is meant to be linked so that could also influence your memory shortage?

Whats your firmware? If 2.3.x then Link2SD won't work at all due to known issues (which seems won't be solved)

Yes, it seems to me to that linking doesnt mean moving whole app to SD. And having 16mb used just by angry birds in internal storage is too much. Is there a way to move whole app?

@mastrone I have Froyo. Is there a way to link apps if i move to GB?

Link2SD not working in 2.3...

Just download ANDROID TERMINAL EMULATOR from Market and install it(you must be ROOTED to use it).
Now just TYPE in Terminal:

su

a2sd cachesdreset

Now your phone restarts and you get A LOT of internal memory(I have like 80 apps installed and I have 174mb of FREE INTERNAL MEMORY)!

ENJOY!

does it really works ?
