Root How Many More Times?!

[singbluesilver]

First, I hope everyone in this fair forum had a good holiday season. Second--so, I'm playing Angry Birds the other day when my phone just crashes. Fine, took the battery out for a minute (there really was no other way that time), put it back in, and rebooted my phone. For some strange reason, my space was gone. I had previously followed instructions to partition my SD card with success, but after this crash incident, seems like I never did it. When I go back into Mini Tool Partition Wizard, am I deleting those previous partitions I created? I'm so mad! Suddenly I only have 29.16 MB on the phone, 2.37 GB on the card, unacceptable! Will this happen every time I have a crash in this fashion? As usual, thanks for any help. How many more times, lol!

You don't need to do anything on your computer. Are you using link2sd

 

[singbluesilver]

Yes, that's what I'm using. How do I get my space back then?

 

[benslgdroid]

Go into the menu of link2sd then select relink library files. Let me know if that works

 

[singbluesilver]

Eh, guess that didn't work, my space hasn't changed. I hope I don't have this issue every time my Irphone freezes or randomly restarts.

 

[benslgdroid]

Set it to show what's on internal then relink those. It doesn't happen every time.

 

[singbluesilver]

I'll give that a go, thanks.

 

[singbluesilver]

Ugh, didn't work! Now what should I do?

 

[benslgdroid]

Was anything there? Next thing is to manually relink the library files, set it to show you linked then sort by lib size then look at each one and if there's not an -> before the lib size you need to select the app then create link and make sure all three options are checked. Once you get to where the lib files are 0 that's it.

Okay, so I did all that and got a little space back. I'm up to 67.20 MB internally, 2.36 GB on the card. The second partition on my card is actually down a bit in space, 89% free from 92%. Did that happen because of the linking I just did? I want to have enough space so that when I'm ready to flash a ROM (with this forum's help, no doubt!), I'll have the space for it. Oh, one more question--does clearing the app caches clear all that info on the app, like my Angry Birds for example? Does it help with space to clear it? Thanks for your help, Ben!

 

[benslgdroid]

No cache just clears extra stuff which will clear more memory. The partition went down because the apps linking your ok. Also check on sd and see if there's anything there. If there is just select it then select create link.

Your welcome

 

[singbluesilver]

You mean check my SD card to see if I can move stuff back to the internal memory? Sorry if I'm extra flaky today, I'm medicated. Seriously.

 

[benslgdroid]

There's an option in link2sd to see if anything is on sd

 

[singbluesilver]

Whoa, why does it say there's nothing on my SD card?! What in the world is going on?

 

[benslgdroid]

that just means nothing is installed to sd card the old way like with app2sd, thats good
