Hello guys does this phone support a2sd meaning increasing internal memory by partitioning sd card ?
Do you mean app2sd where you can install apps to sd? The Rom X10S now supports stock app2sd but no re-partition needed with 2.3.3 stock just use settings to manage apps and click 'move to sd '

No I meant mounting a part of sdcard as internal memory, for example my phone's internal was 250 MB no it is about 4 gb, and I guess the x10 is the same

Interesting and I thing thats possible with simple script with in /etc/init.d . Know how to test it, but I am sure that sdcard partition must be in same FS and dont know how to format in unyaffs - my linux distro doesnt provide this FS formatting.
However X10i has 450MB of user memory, which is with regular App2SD sufficient for almost eveyone
I have an old zip file called data2sd. I think this moved the cache file to sd card. no sd card changes, will dig it up if you want to try.

Hi!
After installing and playing around with some Roms, I found out, that
the internal memory is full.
I have found several informations about handling the internal memory thing - but I don't know which one is the right answer for Legend.
I used app2sd to install/move all apps to SD Card, but the internal memory still gets full.
Then I found a post in which one says that it's needed to make a ext partition on the SD Card to make it work right.
Can anybody tell me, what is the best way of getting more internal space?
I use the [ROM][RC3][24.07.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 - which works perfect - only the memory is strange.
I also made WIPE and Factory Reset before flashing this Rom.
Thank you!

best you can use apps2ext by darktremor, i have also used it on this rom and it works
some quick instructions;
-backup your sd card manually in windows/mac/linux, because making an ext partition on your sd card will delete all your files on sd card
-use clockworkmod 3 to partition your sd card, you can chose different sizes (i use 250mb and its enough) and you need only an ext partition ,cwm3 can be found here
-restore your files back on the sd card (previously backuped)
-flash darktremor (link above)
-restart phone
that sould be it
Thank you, workes fine. Should I IDE LOW Memory option?

I have flashed DarkTremor. But how exactly do I know if it is working? I converted my SD Card from ext2 to ext3 and I still can't move applications over. My internal storage space is still less than 20MB. Can anybody offer any assistance please?
Thanks

theres an app on the market which controles darktremor's script, just search for "darktremor" on the market its free, and see what is using your internal memory and if darktremor is even working
remember, your cache is still on internal memory and your text messages etc are to
Blayo's kernel has data 2 ext support so you can run a ext partion as your internal memory. I would suggest a class 10 for it though

out of my experience and the words of TheGrammarFreak (who made the data2ext script for cyanogenmod), data2ext is faster in benchmarks but slow in real use
and a class 4 sd is the best (words of TheGrammarFreak)
so out of my experience don't use data2ext but use apps2ext
hi guys
i hv Samsung Galalxy ace (rooted)
using titanium backup i moved all user apps to sd card
but the internal memory cleared by only 2mb
Samsung galaxy ace total internal memory is: 181MB
Now using app2sd application i calculated all apps size that are in internal memroy and it was just 37MB
Means there should be 144 MB of free internal space
But in Program monitor it shows 150 MB consumed means only 31 MB is free
can anyone explain why this happens?? i need more free internal memory.
Thnxx guys in advance..
try using s2e..just download it from the market..but u must have partition in ur sd card..
It moves all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card.

Make partition on sd card in ext2 format and use link2sd to move your apps.

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

How can i do that???
Guys I ordered a new 8gb SanDisk class 6 card for my O1 so firstly I would like to know the things i should do to shift from my current 2gb card to the new one.
What are these partitions and how can I do that??
Will I have to reflash the rom after putting the new card??
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
If you don't know what the current partitions are, then the original card is probably one big FAT32 partition. Which is probably what the new 8GB one is. If you had partitioned it differently you would know it.
So the short answer is:
power off the phone
remove the card and mount on your PC
copy everything to a folder on your hard drive including .hidden files and dirs*
unmount the 2GB
mount the 8GB
copy back to the card
unmount the 8GB
replace in phone and boot
* you didn't mention what OS your PC is, so I will assume WinDoze

Don't get yourself confused, just copy everything in your 2gb sdcard to your computer, then unmount it. Mount your 8gb sdcard and copy back the files into the sdcard and all is done
There is no need to reflash ROM, and no need to care about partitions etc since u don't use them anyway

What is swap and ext?? and what is the purpose of them??
Plus I use App2SD though...not any other special scripts

for SWAP google Linux Swap, but its basically a paging file for your phone in a linux environment, if you dont know what that is, google lol, but what it does is moves stuff on your Ram to this Swap thing, but android has its own methods, so Swap is only nessesary if you plan playing heavy games, and with apps like SWAPPER2, that you need in order to enable Swap on your phone, it can create a Swap file that just sits on your card, that acts like a partition without the hassle of you actually partioning anything.
EXT- they mean EXT3 or EXT4 which is a linux format, which in android case, you make your sd card into two parts, one the ordinary FAT32 part which is what you current SD card is, and another EXT part, on which with scripts, or even better LINK2SD, you move all your user apps 2, its similar to the APP2SD you use now, but it moves Dalvick cache and libraries, which APP2sd doesnt, so it saves more room on your internal phone memory, as you are actually moving the ENTIRE app to the sd card, say you want to move Angry Birds to SD using APP2SD, you will notice something like 5MB is still left on your internal memory, with LINK2SD it wont be left.
Also EXT partitions can not be seen by windows, so when you mount your phone as external usb drive, you can still use all the apps you moved to SD card, were is you wont be able to do that with APP2SD.
But yes in short EXT partition on your sd card, just splits your physical SD card into 2 virtual SD cards =)

I have 16gb of internal memory, from which OS is consuming some space, for apps and games1.9 gb is given to me and 10.6 gb for user usage. I want to use this 10 gb for apps how can I do that???
I have CM9 installed...
no one is answering, meanwhile i found a solution. I installed cm7 and it have a option in cm settings to use internal memory as sdcard. Now who needs external sdcard!!!

ehm, on stock 2.3.6, several apps installs on the inernal memory, which the phone sees as sdcard... also you can move them manually from app management in the settings

Sigh.. you should learn how Android actually uses the storage memory. The "16GB" is only really 14GB when you convert it properly of which 2GB is dedicated to the internal System drive (formatted as EXT) and another 1GB towards the other system files leaving around 11GB free (FAT32). Yes, by default most apps prefer to install in the system drives but most people install apps like APP2SD or equivalent to move the apps to the larger FAT32 partition.
