I still have a nexus one. This little phone 196 Mb of storage space (and most of that is taken by the system). But I have somehow managed to live off it for 2 years. This is for anyone with a small amount of memory. We will be using Link2SD. MUST HAVE CWR AND A ROOTED PHONE.
Step 1: Make a Second Partition on Your SD Card.
Backup all data on your SD and then reboot into recovery (Clockwork recovery mod). Then go to advanced -> partition SD card. Then select a size. I choose 1024. When you are done reboot.
Step 2: Install Link2SD
Open the play store and search for Link2SD and install it (or find and sideload the pro version for free :D). Open it and give it root access if it asks you.
Step 3: Configure Link2SD Part 1: Mount Script
When you open the app you should get a Message asking you to create a mount script (if not got to the menu and press Recreate mount script). Choose ext2 if you formatted as described above. Then hit OK and reboot.
Step 4: Configure Link2SD Part 2: Settings
You don't have to do these but I personally recommend them. Go to settings in link2SD and do the following.
Set auto clear cache to 1 or 3 hours.
This will give you a little bit more free space by clearing useless cache files.
Put a check next to auto link.
Automatically link new apps when you install them.
Go to install location >> and set it to external.
Automatically install the apps on the SD card.
Step 5: Good Luck!! :D
I hope this helped you. If you have any questions or errors leave them in the comments and I will try to help. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU MESS UP YOU PHONE (IE FORMAT YOUR SD WITHOUT BACKING IT UP). image from google.
