hello all,
as you now that an important and most wanted feature of android os is apps2sd
we all know that it provides access such that we can install apps on memory card instead of phone memory
Regarding this issue:Symbian os does well than android as it possess the stable feature and a build in option to install apps on memory card instead of precious phone memory
Cache memory: installing apps on memory card doesn't confirm that they are running from memory card it self
a system cache which is important for running app from memory card is necessary
here my point is how far this cache is stored in memory card??
YES/NO: NO cache is not stored in sd card in android even we have a apps2sd feature and a froyo update
i am rather pity towards google as this issue was left to the open source developers......but yes they succeeded
HOW: they introduced apps2sd+ in which sd card is partitioned in to two one as fat32 and another as ext (Linux).....where ext partition is considered as the internal memory of the phone by system
FOR EXAMPLE: u have a 8gb memory card u should partition it into two as approx 7gb to fat32 and approx 512 mb to ext now system will consider 512mb as its internal memory
Drawback: u should have a rooted device to do soo! and u should have a rom that support apps2sd+ like leedroid for htc desire etc
Ok soo lets do it now
YOU NEED: A rooted android phone
A card reader (recommended) or a usb cable
A memory card
Ubuntu os (easier to use than any other method)
Procedure:
1.insert card in to card reader and let ubuntu identify it
2.now go to system>gparted in applications
3.after gparted popped up select ur memory card
4.select all the available partitions(if any) and click unmount
5.now click unmounted partition or partitions and click delete
6.after deletion u have only one single partition with full capacity of ur card
7.now right click the single partition and select create or format to option
8.select the size such that this partition contains size leaving atleast 512 mb following
9.select fat 32 and click done and apply
10.now select second (512 mb partition) and click create ....
11. now create ext2 or ext3 partition (ext 4 also supported but may shorten the life of ur card)
12.click apply action and u are done and ur card is now ready for apps2sd+
now simply install rom that supports apps2sd+ and enjoy lot more internal memory thank u any comments can be posted below!
