[Q] Need some help for affording extra internal Storage ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Storge in mobile as I see divided into :
1- 2 Gb internal (storage ) memory for apps.
2- 11.5 Gb ( USB storage ) for data what so ever.
3- SD card as a MicroSD (variable accroding to inserted one )
These 2 Gb storge is never enough for apps , its okay for a month or so , but by time it gets very low on space . and I have acouple of problems
first, these apps can not be moved to USB storage (expect for some partial data for some apps )
and moving them to MicoSD is so Laggy . espcially with a 32Gb class 4 MicroSD as mine .
apps get laggy , takes time to open , sometimes it is missing , etc..
I consider the SD card Non-stable storage anyway , plus It is removable , and I don not like the idea having some apps scattered around .
So I was asking is there is a way I could repartition the solid storage all of them ( all internal 14 Gb ) to Whatever I like .. just as the External Hard drives ? is there a kinda software on Win or somthing that I connect the device and format to Ext that works for android ?
i.e :
1- 8 Gb internal storage (or memory ) for apps so I don't have to delete any apps no more
2- 5.5 Gb as USB storge
I been through some solutions including DictionaryBind or some these apps or move2sd Apps also ,which doesn't cure the main problem which is the difference in Speed terms bettween Extrnal Class 4 and the High Speed internal storage and I not ready to buy expensive High speed class 10 MicroCard .
plus I need storage to be fixed so in any time I can remove the MicroSD without worrying losing data .
I been through some Custom Roms in which I couldn't find the solution either , ..
Anyways I'm A beginner here and it seems that I do not know much
hope you can Help Me guys here
Thanks In Advance.

I don't seem to understand well , but I took a quick look around in these topics , it 's very usefull I see , but it is about rooting and customizing Roms and basics in development , and I think I do not understand much of it . I 'm just satisfied with my basic knowledge now in these topics .
Is there a topic about how to increase internal memory that I've missed ?
All I was seeking is just increasing some space for Apps and system without adding a MicroSD card or move apps
and what do you mean by the USB storge is not part of phone storage ! so the phone storge divided into 2 separate (hardware) parts ?
So there should be a way to reformat the 11.5 Gb to make them system or something !
or am I just missing the point !

and what do you mean by the USB storge is not part of phone storage !
its a folder for use not a storage area .

mmmmmm , now I got it , this a good thing to start with . it's a good solution I see .
I was just hoping for something like installing without having the option to move
, as by default , as flashing by odin for once so I don't have to move Apps again .
So far this is the best solution till now , I will download the App from the market and check its features and like
thanks alot

Link2SD it worked for once when using cyanogenmod 9 , Now with official ICS , error every time I try to move an app without MicroSd card installed .
it seems it moves it to the Micro Card only , not to internal storage .
any help ! did I mess something ?

[Q] Low internal memory

Hi all,
I've just received my HTC desire x, checking the specs there is written
that the internal memory should be 4GB, but I have just 1GB.
the total space shows 1.09 GB (screenshot attached)
on the HTC website there's written
Total storage: 4 GB, available capacity varies*
and then *Available storage is less due to phone software.
Is it possible that the OS takes 3GB? Seems a bit too much for me...
Any idea?
Thanks all in advance

This is correct man. There is no issue or problem. The system takes ~3gb. Cos imagine when you are factory resetting your phone. The original OS file (called ROM) will reside in that memory with a whole lot of other backup stuff which you cant access.
This is why ppl use CUSTOM ROMS, cos we remove bloatware and other things.
What you see in that screenshot is same as mine and as other. Just buy an external card and it will rock
and please go to about > software update > PRESS CHECK NOW even though "Scheduled Check" is ticked cos there are updates and possibly u have one waiting also.

^ +1.
anyway i cant see why 1gb isnt enough for apps and games. if you have a sd card, it will be more than enough because of the ability to move apps to sd.

Thanks man all doubts vanished now,
does it mean that once rooted (I haven't seen any good rom around yet, please advise if you know any)
I can partition the internal memory? Or it's better not to partition anything for a smoother and faster phone?
Thanks again
Yes 4GB in these mount points:
dev - 303MB
cache - 251MB
data 1,1GB
internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB
system/942MB​
Plus a few more like radio boot and / mount point. It's up around 4GB.
i think you want this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
with that app. you will no longer have to worry about low internal storage again. i use that all the time on my previous phone who has low internal memory (400mb below). but with des x i dont need it. 1gb internal memory are a lot!

Is it possible to reformat partitions? Why not to have internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB and system/942MB merged? I'm not using emmc, cuz I have SDCard for all my stuff, so 1,1 Gb are empty, but I have insufficient space on system.

This is a question that I haven't found an answer for (memory problem)

I got a wondermedia tablet the tablet is of mid quality I didn't want the tablet for hardcore stuff but it does its work..... The problem is that I have 8 GB internal memory and it looks like it has been divided into two parts the first part is internal memory and the second is sd-card ...... I haven't put an SD-card yet in the device so that's pretty awkward so whenever I try to install an app it goes in the internal memory which reads 2.0 GB and in apps manager it reads 1.0 GB and there is also is ROM disk which I think is the sd-card so....... My question is how can I use my whole 8 GB storage? I mean if I can't use the whole 8 GB I want to at least use the bigger ROM disk or SD-card or what ever it's name is I will attach some screenshots so you guys would see what I am talking about
Could anyone help ????????

Semi Adoptable Storage / Sd default install Samsung j7 perx oreo 8.1

Hey I saw your post in the root essentials forum . I was having same problem . I have Samsung j7 perx j727p. When it was on nougat I had root and adoptable storage . I updated to oreo 8.1 Feb 2019 . I got twrp and root working . I've tried root essentials but have same problem as you . I did set sd card as default storage but it didn't work . I've tried xposed framework, and adb , build prop editor , all kinds of stuff.
I found External 2 Internal root apk . I didn't get the results in videos I watched. I've downloaded 3 large apks and using es file explorer see that they went to sd card with just a small amount going to internal . Oh forgot to mention I moved my emulated folder to my sd card to see if that helps .
With that External 2 internal apk I tried swapping numbers of my public card 179,65 with my internal sd 179,64 . That didn't seem to work.
Tonight I changed the Original Internal Mounting point which was /mnt/sdcard, to /mnt/storage/XXXX-XXXX where X is the number of your external sd card . I then hit swap . Now my playstore apps are going to sd card. Device storage doesn't show it as internal memory , but es file explorer shows which one is getting the largest part of the apk . I also restarted phone and it still works . This is closest to adoptable I've gotten .
Oh on side note the App manager apk shows that the new download can be moved to sd card but most of it already is on there. Hope that helps .
I had to format my data after making some foolish changes to my phone . Luckily I had just backed it up with Samsung cloud. It took awhile and when I turned on phone I had even more internal data as everything was on sd card . However when I tried downloading my internal memory started decreasing . I went to External 2 internal app and did my setting . It didn't work !
I just got it back working. I think it is combination of all I had done including Xposed framework . I have some pictures of apps and settings .
Shows my adoptable storage in My files and Drives apk
In the Drives apk its showing my storage card number under phone internal pic and the phones actual internal is shown under the micro sd symbol. I thought was cool . I have 128 gig sd card now showing as internal . Hope this helps some people . Im going to try on my gf phone later .
adoptable sd
hello, could you explain to me how you got the adoptable memory, I have j7 on android 9, I will try your process
Curious what model of J7 do you have ?
Ok I found that its Xinsternalsd module that works . I use Xposed installer , activate that module and reboot . You need to be rooted. Oh I tried Edxposed through magisk , you need riru core and other riru module . It actually made the stock storage setting show it as internal memory . Im deciding best method . When I used Edxposed sometimes other apps would cause it not to work and sometimes sd card said corrupted so you just pull out and back in . The Xposed framework seems more reliable but think harder on your sd card .
Oh you need to be rooted , have twrp or a flashing program . You flash Xposed installer with twrp . You then use installer to flash the modules. Do not use both Edxposed framework as Xposed cause your phone may not boot fully .
I had some problems with this but have course corrected. I am on stock oreo rooted magisk. I used xposed installer and Xinstallsd . It made my files app show combined storage but 100 meg games were downloading to sd but installing and moving to internal. So I used adb shell on get-install- location , it said 0 auto. So downloaded root essentials and set install to sd . Then ran adb again and it read 2 external. I then downloaded pubg a big game and only 175 megs went internal and the other gig and half to external ! I then did 100 meg game and it went on internal . So I think you can see benefit for bigger apps , not so much for smaller ones.
