Guest sharkfist Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Hello, Noob question I'm sure, but I'm sure someone can answer this quite quiclky. The internal memory for the Vega is near capacity. I can move some apps to the SD card, but a lot of the others have this option greyed out. So the question is 1) Is there an alternative way to move the apps to the SD card, and 2) what is the best way going forward to avoid this problem again and have apps downloaded apps install to the sd card? Thanks in advance.
Guest Minimonkey Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) You need link2sd which is included in mcr8 it needs a ext2 partition on the sdcard. Works a treat. http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...online-kitchen/ http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...xt-2-partition/ Edited March 20, 2011 by Minimonkey

Is it best to have a FAT 32 partition and an EXT2? What are the benefits/disadvantages of having the SD card with two partitions. Any recommendations on the best way to for ext2 from Windows? Thanks again for the advice.
Guest Minimonkey Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Backup the SD card on your PC (just copy everything into a folder) Check the second link it mentions using easeus software to partition the SD card. Once partitioned copy everything back to the fat32 partition Ext2 for Android (linktosd) Fat32 for windows

The FAT32 partition would be for stuff like media files, etc? any suggestions on how to split a 16GB card?
Guest Minimonkey Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Thats right. I've just created a 512mb ext2 partition but depends how much you want to fill the Vega up.
Guest sharkfist Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Any other options than Easeus Partition Master? I've installed it, but it won't recognize the memory card.

Guest Minimonkey Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Make sure you have no other move to SD program's on like add2sd then reboot the Vega.
