I've Read, but I'm Still Confused.. Please Help

Hello Everyone, and thanks in advance.
here goes...
I have a Galaxy S running JK3 with an 8gig external SD.
When you move apps to SD does Froyo move them to the internal SD or External SD?
My external SD is set up with a fat32 partition only. Do I have to format my external SD with a proper ext partition? If so, can I just do that in Paragon partition manager?
Thanks for the help. I have searched, but the more I read the more I got confused.

LOL Apps are installed on internal sd, not every one has external sd and i know mine never came with one so id guess all my apps must of been on internal sd ...... with 3rd party apps you can sendem to your external sd.... From all reports since froyo this seems to be a thing of the past...tbh im not to sure why people moved then to ex sd in the first place theres plenty of room on internal sd

[Q] Why a 32gb micro SD card...

hi guys!
I'm not so new here, but i think it's my first post. And a hope not start bad...heheheh
Well, i have a question. I just bought a mustang micro sd card (class10) and i've noticed that not all apps and games can be moved. I mean, what files are moved? Gameloft games are able to move but not at all. All folders with bigger files stay on the phone. And the problem doesn't stops here, the only options I have is to move files between USB storage and device memory...and not for external sdcard. I can see the folder external_sd, but how can I use this?
So, do I have space on external sd card just for photos, music and videos?? Any help is welcome!
Thanks for attention and sorry about my english!

any sugestion...?

I guess so or until someone creates an apps2sd+ or even better a data++ ROM as there are for the HTC Desire. Look in the dev forum over there for more info and explanations about apps2sd+ and data++

thanks mate!

still having headaches!
GPS, apps, games...i can't put anything on sdcard...on my other devices i can put a lot of things on sdcard\android\data
but galaxy s2 the sdcard folder is inside the fone, not the real sd card...
too bad...

The sdcard folder is just the SG2's internal storage. You have to go to sdcard/external_sd to access the actual micro SD card.

With 1GB of /data and 11GB on /sdcard I am not sure why you would need to move data to the microSD.
a 32GB card would be good for media and such though.

Yeah, i know that...i was wondering if there is a way to use the external_sd as the real sdcard. Understand what i mean?

It's bcause games. I like games a lot...and probably I will need space soon...I'm about to accept the fact about the external sd just for media and such though...

using sd card as internal storage?

hello everyone,
i got a little question.
i'm gonna buy a 16 or 32 gb micro sd card pretty soon, but is there a possibility to use the external sd card as internal storage? so that way it is easier to install apps on it,because now i first have to install them on internal storage and than move which gives me alot of problems at the moment. so is there a tweak or something to make the phone assume that the external sd card is internal storage to?
thanks in advance,

try and search for m4uik app2sd method i think it may help you but i don't knew about what u said

Should see the following topic:

I recommend install "Mini tool partition wizard" and try with video made for wwenigma:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaiAfQXUHiA
and good luck and thanks to wwenigma for the video, and developers but ours GT540 would be dead

i knew about the swap thing, but that's not really what i mean, thanks anyways. and app 2 sd is not what i want, i can already install apps on my sd card, but i want my phone to use the sd card as internal space. is there any way to do that? i saw it for other devices, but i didn't see it for our gt540 yet. i may have missed it though so thats why im asking.

like link2sd ????

thats not entirely what i mean, but its getting there , thanks.
what i mean: our phone has like 150 mb internal storage approximetly, i want to turn that into something like 4 gb by making the phone use the sd card as internal storage. my question is: is that even possible with the gt540? i saw that it's possible with other devices, but it seems like the solution are device specific so that's why im wondering if there is anything like that for the gt540.

I know what you mean but link2sd does just that.... partition and formant the sdcard to ext3 for use to install apps

alright, that i misunderstood that link2sd does. sorry guys and thanks

We all learn

just one more question. im doubting between ics and gb atm. for daily use im still on gb, but i may be switching to ics pretty soon. does link2sd work with ics?

I don't think so.....and ICS is in early development not good for daily use.
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium

[Q] newbie question - ram vs sd card

Hi There .. actually I am just waiting for my GT2 .. but already I am wondering how the internal 16GB work together with a potential SD.
I do assume internal and SD will mount as drives on my windows pc. fine.
But what may I expect when I use titanium backup to free memory and shift some apps to sd .. will they really appear on sd .. or will they be on internal memory? Any way i can influence this?
Where will all the apps store their temp stuff?
I really would like to figure out which mem is best for what before I start-off.
Any tipp or pointer is appreciated.

shift you less used apps to sd, as this storage medium runs slower than the internal storage. You want your more frequently used apps to be able to load faster. This is the reason for moving apps to sd

What I understand from your reply is that internal 16GB memory is faster than SD. OK .. but can I decide to put apps on my internal memory (the 16 GB paritition .. I don't mean RAM) rather than put them on SD? I mean so that the apps are still installed and work .. just like with app2sd?
