Hi xda members. got any mod to increase user accessible internal memory by reducing application memory partition?
or just make a folder in /data and put my stuff there? i don't own xperia u yet but I'm planning to buy this weekend
You can use USB as external memory. The increase of the internal memory is not available

Hello everyone,
I just reed this two post about increasing the internal memory of an android device using micro sd card.
1. http://www.technodify.com/increase-internal-memory-ram-android-phone-tablet-full-guide/
2. http://technokarak.com/increase-ram-of-android-smartphone.html
Did anybody tried to do this on a g tablet, does it drain your battery faster or anything ?

There are 2 different techniques being discussed in those posts:
The first, is using a swap file to increase the amount of virtual RAM. That technique (and hence those apps) will work only on kernels which are compiled to do swapping. Some gTablet kernels have this enabled (2.6.39.x and 3.1.10.x) and some don't (2.6.32.x). On the kernels which don't have swapping enabled at compile-time, you can recompile the kernel with swapping enabled, but, in any case swapping to disk is of questionable usefulness because of the interaction with the Android low memory killer feature in the kernel. In most cases, the low memory killer will start killing apps before any apps can be swapped out to disk.
The second technique discussed is the "apps to SD" feature where a separate extn partition is created on an external SD card which is then used to complement the /data partition. On the gTablet, because we have a large 16GB internal SD card, it is simpler to just resize the /data partition instead of using hacks like apps2SD or link2SD which are meant for old smartphones and which are not guaranteed to work on all ROMs.
hi , i have onlt 750mb internal memory , pre installed app also 450mb , so how to increase that partiaion, can in mount this partiton to SD partiton
Use Link2Sd to increase internal storage of your device :good:
thanks for quick repaly
Hello experts,
I have a question regarding my phone's internal memory. My new android 4.2.1 phone has 32GB of phone storage, but only 1.5 gigabytes of that is allocated to the "internal storage" partition for app installations etc. The rest is used as an internal SD card for data storage. I also have an actual SD Card of 32GB.
I find the 1.5GB of internal storage a little bit too low and I fear to run out of memory in a few months of intensive use. As I have a large external SD card it is a bit useless for me to also have a huge internal SD card partition and I'd rather add some of that to the 1.5GB of internal storage for apps.
I have googled for quite some time now, but I can only find threads of people trying to extend their internal storage by partitioning an external SD card. This is NOT the same as my problem as my phone storage is large enough but just not properly allocated in my view.
So my question is as follows: is it possible to add a few GB's from my phone storage to my internal storage?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, been looking for the same thing for my note 10.1
So far best info in,
galaxy s2 original android development,
Aug 31
"Guild -enlarge datafs partition and get rid of internal sd (ums)"
Has a link to "pit magic"
Good luck and let us all know the results, it's a bit above me I think....
Thanks

The main reason I want to root is to increase internal memory available for app installation. I have a tablet with AML8726-MX with only 8GB memory and i added a 16GB sdcard later. Adding 2GB or 3GB would be good.
Once I install the root or custom root firmware, should I assume that I will be able to adjust the partition size for internal memory. I assume this would be done by editing some file.
Was referred to this thread. Can't believe how little internal memory on 8GB they have for apps.
Hi,
My brother wants to increase his xperia z2 internal storage.
i've 64GB micro sd.
i have tried partitioning(mini tool partition) it but didn't work,when i open link2sd it says {mount script error} {Mount script cannot be created}.
I would really appreciate if someone help me to find the solution to this.
Thanks in advance,cheers!!
Cant do that without modifacation of both the hardware and software
You could probably repartition and create a link to the external storage but that would need to be initilized every boot
For now just use GL2SD for larger files or buy another phone e.g 32gb nexus 6
If your phone is rooted then you can use foldermount to store internal memory files to the external SD card (for things like games etc)
