Installing on main or storage memory
 

Hey guys, i was wondering what were the main pros and cons of installing on main or storage memory...
I tried to seach this on the forums, but couldnt seem to get an accurage answer...
What i do right now is I install all useful application like ultimate launch, my keyboards, swcked mobile shell and all no recreational app on the main memory... The rest, games, xm radio, tv, weather... goes on storage.

Is that the way to go?

Thanks in advance

no bro as discussed before you want to install all apps on the main memory. i even install the games on the main memory. the 2 main reasons for this are.

1. more stable on the main memory than the card.
2. the phone reads the main memory first and than the card so some apps wont run at all while some will run slowly and load slower or even cause cant read errors on the phone.

I noticed that the programs run a lot better in main memory, but i also noticed that when i switch to my main memory to install i have less RAM space left with all my app closed and after a soft reset then having it installed to the card. How much RAM do you have left over with all your programs Dash?? because i dont install much trying to get economy but nevertheless i see you with a bunch of programs installed, how do you do it??

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

you will not have less ram unless you have programs that run at all times like quick menu. ram is the memory for running programs not for the storage. i have 38 applications installed and still after soft reset have 121 megs of memory storage clear and 18 megs of ram clear and i go almost 2 weeks without soft resetting before it starts to act a lil weird.

how is that possible then DASH? b/c my mem storage & ram is low...i have less than 1/2v of what you have

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

Because he's the man! lol He modded my phone. I have approx 48 apps & approx 14 megs of ram. THANK YOU DASH!

Re: Installing on main or storage memory

i agree he must be doing summtin wrong like running touchflo to kill the ram on his phone and than maby installing a lot of music to the phones main memory or ringtones or something.

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

so what do i do to fix this? b/c i think that's exactly what i do...well, i use xm radio alot (and after 30 minutes or so on my phone my battery is down to 50%)

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

i dont know you have to tell us what you have installed to the phone and what to the card and than also what ringttones asnd how long music movies you have installed and where.

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

ult launcher, htc performance, mobitv, xm radio, yahoo go, vtap, slide sound(cant get it off), swcked keyboard, quick menu...1 family guy episode & no more ringtones

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

on what the sotrage card or the main memory.

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

most of it is on the storage card...cant tell whats on main mem oter than video, swcked keyboard, & i think ult launcher

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

than you shouldnt be having any memoery or ram troubles. i would try a hard reset.

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

but, i'll lose everything then right?

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
 

yeah but you can back up your contacts seems like your having major troubles from alot of uninstalling apps you didnt like so its the only way to fix it.

Re: Installing on main or storage memory
