Hey guys, kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff, so go easy
So, I've rooted my phone and am currently running the official ICS update -- I currently have 4EXT flashed as my recovery and I was just wondering if there was any way to increase the built in storage space on the phone. The stats tell me that there is about 2.34 total available space on the internal SD -- which seems kind of small -- and I was just wondering if there is any way to increase that amount. I figured I would come here and ask first (tried searching for an answer, but no luck) before I royally screw up my phone. Thanks for any help!

I am wondering about the same thing.
HTC made the Amaze have ~2gb of internal storage and ~12gb of internal-sd storage.
Is it possible to trick the system into thinking it has ~14GB of internal storage to whoever answers this thread, so I can install more apps? On top of that I have a 32GB sd card added, which doesn't help that much, as not all apps move to SD card.
I've been thinking the same thing

something like this?

Only possible if HTC or something here restructure and reformat the way the partitions are set and handled the way Samsung did on the nexus and the s3.

Be very careful when repartitioning internal phone space. It can cause problems you may not be able to recover from. only use mods, hacks or, apps that are specific to the amaze.

Thanks for the replies guys.
So, in short, there is no way for me to increase the 2.34 GB of App Storage on the phone -- that I am indeed stuck with the 2.34GB that is available from the start...?

Hello!
I am new to Fascinate, but have plenty of experience with the htc flyer. I have 3 questions to ask (searched but still confused, this forum is so much bigger than the flyers, not entirely sure where to look
1. What all do I install with odin for miui 4? I have odin and samsumg drivers, but not sure about everything I need to flash in irder for miui 4. Root first or what? Running 2.2.2 with a baseband: s:i500.04 v:ed05
2. Where is the internal storage of this phone? Does it exist? I know apps are installed in a separste directory, but other than that, I cannot load any files without an sd card. I thought this has 16gb of internal, and settings says I have 1.45 of imternal left when all I see without the card is the 5 apps ive installed?
3. Ok so my fascinate is deactivated, running with no mobile data just wifi. I got it from a friend who used to use this phone, and I just wanted another android to tool around with, no imtentions on activating since I just cant afford a data plan. Will miui 4 run on a deactivated phone?
Thanks!!! Sorry if these are noob questions and several of them for that matter, the forum for this phone is just so overwhelming, I didnt know where to start!

Hello everyone. I bought my sgs2 pre-rooted and have always had the problem of what looks to be an internal SD card partition. I read thought the thread below as well as a few others that say unmounting/remounting the SD card should fix the problem, however, I am under the impression that is for the External SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640983
When I go to “Setting–>Storage” I have the following:
Internal Storage
Total Space 1.97 gb
Available 1.21 gb
Internal Storage
Total Space 11.36 gb
SD[Card
Total Space 14.83 gb
Anyone have any thoughts? I have plenty of space on my phone, however, it seems that everything I install is being put into that first Internal storage space. I need to get this internal "partition" removed to have the full amount of space (16gb) of internal storage.
ps: This was a fresh AOKP flash after clearing all data and factory setting twice before flashing.
I see nothing wrong here. You are supposed to have a 2gb partition for apps to install to. If you try and change that you are asking for problems.

So everything is Okay?? Whenever I go to camera (on AOKP's 8/30 JB) it says "SD card is running out of space". Also, I do not have that many apps installed, some apps won't be able to save data.

Stock ICS? as in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I had this before and had same issues. I flashed to CM9/AOKP ICS and had same problem, but was able to save location where Camera saved images.
But you don't need more internal storage. That has nothing to do with your problem.
I would flash it back to stock gingerbread and see if you still have the same problem.

The problem with phone memory as in apps saving/camera or to see if the storage page looks any different than what it does?
Also, Are there any extra steps needed to go from JB to GB? I have never flashed down from a newer version before.
Thanks for the help Pirateghost

Thanks Snipe. When I had ICS 7.3 aokp i was able to change that, but could not find a way to fix it in JB. One thing after the next I started getting paranoid that I fluxed something up... Thanks for the re-assurance. I may just wait until a newer build is out for AOKP.
Thanks for the help everyone, I apologize for spamming the forums. I have been avid reading these since I started flashing back in May, I guess everyone has to create a username eventually.

Just make sure you READ all you can you will get LOTS of wrong info on here ALWAYZ cross reference everything, you're the only one that can keep your phone safe..... The JB port still needs some work to be ready 4 prime time Task is a bad @ss and will get everything working it will just take time.

Hey I was wondering how I can get real racing 3 to installed on a stock P769? I keep getting the "insufficient memory available" message.
It requires 1.7gb but the phone only has 1.6gb free new out of the box stock. I have a 8gb sd card in the phone but I can't get it to transfer until its installed i think. I don't wanna root the phone until a easier "one click" method becomes available.Any advice would be greatly appreciated if i can get this awesome game installed on this phone.
BTW: so far this phone seems very good overall to me , but I will have to wait to see how it is long term to give a final opinion.:good:

I'm pretty sure you can't until you root and swap internal and external memory. On the brightside we should be getting JellyBean any day now(hopefully) and with that, as long as you don't mind unlocking bootloader, comes easier rooting. So hang in there.

Oh really? I assumed there was a way that is the only problem with the phone i have so far is it should have had 8gb of factory ram at least in my opinion.

Doesn't stock Jelly Bean have apps 2 sd preconfigured? So you wouldn't need to root or unlock your bootloader in order to install this then.

Thats a good question.
No, JB has the option to transfer app to sd, but it isnt like app2sd cause it doesnt bring data, and then games like asphalt and real racing (with big data) would be difficult to install anyway.

so even if we do get the JB update we would still have to root the phone if we wanted to play big data games like real racing 3?
probably Yes, you would gain some free space but not so much
If you install CM10, will that give us more space on internal memory? I heard that P760 has 2.3GB available in total. Couldn't some dev find a easy to operate way to re-allocate the internal memory?

I can confirm that Real Racing 3 is working on my P768, you do need to root though. As long as you read slowly and follow all instructions to the letter, cmhendra's guide is very consise so you can't mess up. (The pre-modded files are handy - no hex editing needed) After you've rooted, you just need to use any scripter app to run the storage swap script on boot.
I'm using an 8GB class 10 card as my main storage and the game runs great!

Greetings,
I have been busy with this for 4-5 days now and nothing works.
i just resetted everything and started from scratch.
can anyone explain me how i change internal to external memory i gotten a :
64 GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC card Class 10 (30MB/s) SanDisk
And my firmware is:
4.2.2
My Phone is:
Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505
Hope someone can help this noob out.
Need my phone to be ready befor end of the weekend (holliday)
So all the help is welcome.
Installed:
Clockwork installed now
Superuser rights.
only need help how to install the external to internal memory now.
Im not quite sure what youre getting at but ill give it a shot. Theres no way to swap the internal to external memory. Apps and their data get stored on the internal storage. By default theres only a couple things you can have saved to the external memory card. There is an app called folder mount that allows you to save apps/data on the memory card though.

you know a good 1 thats works for GT-I9505?
Thats a mod, i generally refer to conventional means of doing stuff. Anyway ive never used that and it doesnt store everything on the sd. Apps still get saved to internal storage while data/resources get saved to external. Like I said I would check out folder mount. See if that suits your needs.

then i tryed to put on factory settings again and did not boot anymore to recovery and also not to clockwork.

Once you install a custom recovery yoj cant boot to stock recovery because its overwritten by the custom version. Thats a mega thread for everything i9500 and i9505. I would try reflashing the recovery to see if it fixes it. If not you might have to odin back to stock. This is also the verizon specific forum for the s4 so posting in your devices specific forum would probably get you more help.

Thanks for all the help ill reinstall the offical firmware hope that helps the solution.
ill try the folder mount hope it works becoas my phone is full fast when i download a couple of games.
Not a problem. Glad i could point you in the right direction. If you made any backups you might want to move those to external storage. They are fairly large. I have a couple 1 gig+ games and several smaller ones and still have 5 or 6 gigs left.

Well the main problem was when i install a couple of games the main memory is full way to fast
thats why i wanted and hoped the swap would help the problem.
tho i just made more problems and consumed to mutch time :silly:
i think i just have to stick around on the problem and hope samsung will fix of have a solution to this in time.
i did not make any backups. so i just have to start frome scratch tomorrow.
thanks for all the help again and gl helping others.
You could also try the app Folder Mount in the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this will allow you to put the "data" folders associated with larger apps on the SD card. If you are looking to swap internal to external memory the other suggested thread will help you do that. There are pro's and cons to it and when you factory reset or change ROM's you need to do it all over again.
Seeing as how the rezound has a whopping 2.34 gb dedicated for /data, what's the best way to incorporate data2sd if at all possible? The sdcard is formatted and ready to go, all I need is the best way to add the capabilities. Thanks.

u mean 2.34 GB for app storage, right? because rezound has approximately 11 GB for data storage (the phone storage).
from the subject if u mean something like app2sd darktremor script, super app2sd script, cronmod data2sd/ext2sd script or any others. All these scripts have 2 specific partitions for both the app and data by using partitioned sd card, i've used for some my old phones.
i've read related threads here for seeking the function too but never find at least one special thread about this kind of modding or other rom threads that provide data2script mod in their roms. Honestly i need it too
may be u have to make some gambling here for trying to use universal data2sd/ext2sd or any kinds which compatible for rezound in general hacking modding thread

Look at Link2SD... I have been using it since the days of my HTC Aria, it essentially makes your programs partition as large as you have SD card partition space and it has a nice interface. You do have to partition your SD card though, adding a partition specifically for Link2SD and then the application creates symbolic links in the normal partition for apps that point to the sd card. Make sure you read the instructions on how to use it though, or you will be wasting your time (use Link, not move).
