[Q] Available system / app memory? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From my Archos 101 I know that although it's the 16GB model, there are only 300MB of application storage available and the remaining ~15GB as an emulated SD card.
What's the size of app storage with the I9100?

Internal Memory

I'm just wondering how much internal memory do you guys have left? I have the T-Mob 1024mb but after WinMo, Android, and some apps, all I'm left with is about 75mb. Does that sound about right to you guys?
How do you guys with the 512mb version manage to run both winmo and Android?? I'm using Energy Titanium, which is very light and small already. I'm surprised Android and my apps take up so much.
android runs off the sd card not the internal memory
there is a total of 576MB of ram on the phone plus a 1GB ROM plus a 16GB storage card. You should install apps to the storage card instead of the phone to save space.

When I go into Settings>SD & Phone storage> Under Internal phone storage, it lists 82.47MB, this number changes as I delete and installs apps.

How do you install apps to the sd card? When I download an app from market, it just automatically installs and I'm given a choice to choose either the internal phone storage or sd card.
tap on SD card as that is your external storage and then proceede with the installation

[Q] Stock Telus Fas.... Apps2SD?

Just wondering somthing, when I go to App Management and look at the tab for Apps which are installed on SD memory, on the bottom is shows the Internel 16GB memory stats.
It shows I have 9GB free of 13GB. When I check under the tab for the apps installed on the phone memory, it shows I have 1GB of 1.8GB free.
When I move an app from the 1.8GB phone memory to the SD Memory (Apps2SD) the app gets moved to my 4GB MicroSD Card.
If I remove the MicroSD card from the phone, I can't move the apps, it says I don't have enough free memory. I've been reading, and appearently you can only install to the externel MicroSD.
Is there a way I could change this and make the app install too the 16GB Memory, can I change mount points, partition my 16GB internel Memory, anything?
When I was using the GalaxyMTD nightlys it would put the app on the internel 16GB memory. So I know it is possible to do, but I don't know how to do it.
Thx

[Q] Best way to move apps and games to external SD ?

Hi guys,
I have many Gameloft games and apps and I'm looking for the best way to move it to the external memory (I have a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD card).
Thanks
Try apps2SD from market.
Thanks, but it can only move apps from the phone memory to the internal sd and not from internal sd to external sd...
Did some one try this app by any chance ?

I can see 3 kinds of memory in my SGS2 (except from the 1Gb ram). Device memory (0.98GB used/0.98GB free), Internal SD card storage (11GB used/726MB free) and External SD card storage (my 32GB microsd card).
I want to move some of my apps that on my internal sd to the external sd... the apps2sd can only move apps from the device memory to the internal memory...

[Q] 32GB external SD card only shows 1GB available

I have searched high and low for an answer to this but cannot seem to find one. I have recently rooted my NT to use CM 10 and everything appears to be working fine save one exception. I have an external SanDisk 32 GB class 4 card that I am using and it only shows 1GB available when it is installed in my NT. Here are the things I have tried without any luck.
** reformat SD card using SDFormatter.
** double check the partitioning using mini tool and verified that there is only one partition 32GB, FAT 32.
** put the SD card in my laptops SD card reader and I see that all 32 GB are available.
** put the SD card back in my NT and uses AppMgrIII to move the app to external SD, then ejected the SD and saw that the app was no longer available so I know what my NT is calling the SD is in fact my external SD card.
The only thing I have not tried is a new SD. Any clues?
EDIT:
One note, when I go into Settings --> Storage I see two sections marked internal storage and one SD card section.
Internal Storage 1
Total Space 3.97GB
Internal Storage 2
Total Space 29.71 GB (This is my external SD card)
SD Card
Total Space 1.00GB

The 1 GB you see listed is actually internal emmc. Your 32 GB sd is actually 29.71 GB formatted. Your internal user media is 3.97 GB.
This is how internal memory is allocated-
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+2GB (split between OS and /data)=8GB model.
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+10GB (split between OS and /data)=16GB model
You did not mention if you have the 8 or 16 GB model. Either way there is nothing wrong with your memory allocation.
I have the 16 GB model. When I try to move apps to SD does it shows it moving to the 1GB sd card which you said was the internal emmc. I will play around some more to see if I can get some more evidence. Thank you for answering!

Are you running an app that mounts/swaps emmc as SD?
No
If you're using paranoid android it swaps the internal storage and SD card. Nothing to be worried about, but if you want it swapped use the succulant build.
did you figure this out? My nook color running 4.0.2 does the same thing (shows 2 external sd cards), and installs all the "sd apps" to the smaller sdcard1 partition instead of my actual external sdcard2. How do I tell it to treat my actual sd as the external sd so I can put all my apps on it?
many thanks

It is "figured out" for OP in the replies. To switch on your build, try asking in the Color forum section. There may be a zip to flash or maybe a change to be made in the build prop. But you need to check it for your device and ROM.
oops sorry, I had so many tabs open researching this I didn't realize this wasn't the NC forum. I have asked in there on a few threads, hopefully something will turn up.
thanks!

[Q] Merging phone storage and internal sd

Hello,
I recently bought a Lenovo A820 and am currently using LambdaROM 2.3.5a. My phone has 4GB of internal space and I have a 8GB microSD card in it as well. My internal storage is running low, but my internal sd card is empty and cannot be used, because I've all things on the external sd. Is there anyway to merge the internal sd card with the internal phone storage? I've searched long and hard already, but found no concrete information. I know I can swap memories and even link my sd card to the phone storage. But my internal storage is 4GB which only 2GB are being used for the phone storage and 2GB are partitioned to the internal sd card. I would like to merge them into the internal phone storage, if possible. My question is: is it possible? If so, how can I do it?
Thank you.

Hi
You cannot merge virtual internal SD and physical external SD into one volume.
However you can probably swap it - which should solve all of your problems.
Your phone has MTK6589 chip, so the process will be similar as on my Snopow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777140
After the swap external SD will be visible as internal SD and the other way round. That means you can buy 64GB SD card and have all this space available for installing apps because phone will see this card as internal storage.
