hi everyone. i would like to you if i can change the internal memory of the I5500 samsung.
i have only 187 mega, i need more space. i don't know why but android don't consider my sd card as the internal memory.
if i move my apps to the sd card i still need more space.
do you know some trick to change the size of the memory ?
thank you very much

cause your internal memory it's not the same as the SD card for android.
if you want more space, deleting stock apps that you won't use can give you back some Mb... more space only 2.2+ with moving apps to SD
or u can use app2sd or s2e, that use a partition of the sd card like internal memory.
For example I have 4gb sd card, that has 1gb ext4 (it is used for internal memory) and 3gb fat (that it's used for files and data)
But for do this u can have a cooked rom like cyano or mad-rom

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
I have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790825 installed with cronos froyo. I use this firmware only for a week and my 160 MB internal memory is already half-used. How can it be so with A2SD? And how can i know for what it is used? Also how can i check, if A2SD really works?
I had no issues with APPS2SD under the Cronos. As I know it is automatically enabled. Do you have repartitioned memory card? I mean do you have ext2 partition created on you memory card? Fat32 in not enough (as I know). If you use Amon_Ra recovery use it to create partitions like this: 0MB for SWAP, 512-1024MB for EXT and rest of memory card for FAT32 to store you mp3 files, movies, whatever...
You can always try to run Titanium Backup and on first screen you can see how much internal memory you have, how much space in EXT (if exists) and how mych space in FAT partition you have...

Yeah, I have Ext2 partition on sd card.
Titanium Backup says:
Internal 87 free 173 total
SD 912 free 1.55 total
SD (a2sd) 283 free 359 total
What's wrong? What is half of internal memory used for?
hmm.... if you have Titanium Backup then you can force him to move your apps from internal memory to SD... but be careful I think it is not good to move "widget apps" to SD card. obviously DO A NANDROID first

I moved almost all apps to sd via titanium backup.
That's how it changed:
87/173 ----> 87/173 internal
912/1.55 ----> 810/1.55 sd
283/359 ----> 338/359 a2sd
Looks like it just moved all my apps from EXT2 to FAT32 partition. But there is still half of internal memory used.
check the dir called ".android_secure" on your SD card... probably your apps have been moved here. I guess this happen when "google's froyo apps2sd" system has been used. Did you try to move those apps through the menu item which also allows to move apps in Recovery? btw. check your PM
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

As a owner of Nexus S without SD card, when I want to move an app to the external memory, I just click move to SD and it works fine. But in Galaxy S2 and other phones, there are 3 memories, internal, external and SD.
If I have 2 GB internal, 16 GB external, and without SD, and I try to move the app to SD, it says not enough memory, cause probably it tries to move it to the SD card which I don't have. So my question is how do I move apps to the 16 GB external memory ? and is it possible without root ?
Some people said it installing directly to the external, so I checked and it's not, I installed an app and saw the internal 2 GB decreasing, and the 16 GB stayed the same.
If I understood you correctly. S2 has 16 GB total storage, of this 16, 2 is used for app installation, 11.5 is for storage, and rest is system. You can only install apps in the 2GB portion, or in external SD (if app supports it). You cannot install app in the 11.5GB storage portion.

Tbh i wouldnt worry about it i have approx 150 apps installed and ive only used 650mb! I believe big game files install to the internal sd automajically anyway.
I see, thanks for your time !
Hi, is it possible to increase the size of the partition where the apps are located? in other devices like my iPad I can use the total amount of disk space for apps but in my Galaxy SII if I want to have lot of apps I have a small 2gb partition. Do you know a solution? I need more space for apps...
Thanks!
Are you talking about the internal or external (SD card) disk?
I think the internal disk space is fixed to a custom partition, but if you're using App2SD or any similar script with a partition inside the SD card, you can repartition that partition to fix your needs without problem with any partition editor (like GParted).
I'm talking about the internal memory of the SII ... In other gadgets like Apple we have the entire disk space to install applications if we like.
Do you know a method to increase the space of the app partition? I think that is not a great solution to depend of an SD card, we have a lot of memory on the phone. I don't know why samsung have limited to 2GB the data partition, I think is too small...
Any idea about resize the partitions of internal memory?

Don't know if its possible atm...
What do you have installed that you need +2Gb for apps? Have you considered moving some apps to SD?
/data partition has 2Gb
/sdcard has 8Gb
Both partitions are from the internal memory so moving any app from /data to /sdcard won't affect your speed, since both are internal memory...
PS: Despite the name, /sdcard is internal and /sdcard/external_sd is the external SD Card mounted on the phone.
Hi! AzureusPT thanks for your help... The problem is when I try to move to Sd card a message appears saying that I have to insert an SD Card... so I think that is not possible to move applications to /sdcard internal memory.
Do you know another method?

sd card means micro sd card.. the /sdcard is the internal sd card w/c you can store data internally.. external sd card is your memory card.. the way android works is (or sgs2) has 3 partitions, 500+ for rom, 2gb for applications and tge rest for storage.. for games like gameloft which has huge amount of data, the installer itself is in thr 2gb partition while its data is stored in the 11gb + partition.. so no need to worry about running out of space
