Increase your android phone internal memory without link2sd pro.

Yeah…… it’s me again.
Today,I am going to tell you a secret about having a very
large internal memory free space. You hate seeing that
message “your device is running low on memory” ,I hate it
too,and developers aren’t helping matters.
You have to pay to free up your internal memory,can you
imagine?
There is an application on Google play called link2sd, it does
the magic of freeing up your internal memory So that you
can install more applications and update too.
But there is a problem. You can’t move application data
unless you buy the pro version.
What i am about to tell you is bad business for the
developers.
What you need:
1)A partitioned sd card(search, how to partition your sd
card)
2)Link2sd latest version. (download from Google play or
anywhere good)
3)smanager (download from Google play or anywhere good)
After partitioning your sd card,Which would format it
also,install link2sd and select the appropriate option,I
selected ext4 because I used cwm to partition my sd card.
Please make sure you select the right option,if you used a
pc to partition your sd card select ext2 in the link2sd
application, after everything is set,you would have to reboot
your phone and open link2sd, if no message shows up,that
means you did it correctly.
Now select all the applications on your phone in the top
menu of link2sd and link everything(application files,dalvik
cache files,library files ) except the data(you have to pay
for that). Wait for the process to complete,then check your
internal memory space. It would have increased drastically.
To the main discussion. I will teach you how to link
application data(Which you have to pay for on link2sd ) free
of charge.
Open the smanager application, grant it super user,it’s a
file explorer that can access the root of your phone. Now
using the smanager, go to the root of your phone as shown
below.
You see that upward facing arrow at the top left menu,that
is what you press to go deep into your phone,until you get to
the root “/” as shown above.
Now click on “data” ,scroll down and click on “data” again
(/data/data) ,now that is where all your application data
are stored.
Note: it’s not everything there that is safe to link to sd
card.
Linking in android is replacing the original files with a
“shortcut” that links to where the original files are (in the
sd card)
Please do not link any folder named com.android.anything
they are system application data that your android os use,
Also do not link any folder named com.gionee.anything or
com.phone_model.anything it’s the stock applications data
that comes with your phone.
Do not link any folder named com.mediatek.anything or
com.processor_name.anything there are the applications
data your processor make use of.
Lastly don’t link any folder you don’t know Which application
make use of it. Just make sure it’s not a system application
that uses it,cause it might cause the application to
misbehave. So be cautious.
Now select all the folder there except the ones you shouldnt
link written above,now select move,then go back to /data
and scroll down,select “sdext2″(/data/sdext2 ) and then
click on the data folder there (/data/sdext2/data) now
click on “select this directory” to move them into the folder
named data. After successfully moving them, select
everything you just moved, and click on “link”,go back to
the first data folder (/data) and click on data again(/data/
data) then select this directory. This would transfer the
links to where the original files were before you moved
them to sdext2.
Sdext2 is a memory space of your sdcard mounted into your
internal memory, So that your phone sees it as part of your
internal memory and not as sdcard space anymore. Go check
the link2sd application, you would see that the data files
have been linked even though you haven’t purchased the
pro. And you would have more space on your internal
memory.

Those that don’t want to partition their sdcard, but in case
you have already partitioned it,no problem,still do this:
Now finally,to boost your internal memory to up to 1Gb ,Yes
you heard me right,it’s So annoying when you have to install
a super game and you have just 150mb arrggghhh. Now go
to the data (/data) scroll down to where you see a folder
with name “log”,mine is named log_other_mode ,yours
might be different,it’s the folder where the data logs are
stored, now select all the log files in it (/data/
log_other_mode) and select move. Move to any empty folder
in your sdcard, then select all and link them back to the log
folder (/data/log….)
Now check your internal memory,you should have at least
900mb free or more depending on how large the log files
were. Currently I have 845mb free internal memory and 159
applications installed.
I can install 30 more applications and link all of it,without
running out of memory.
See yaa.
