Is there an app or mod or script out there for the S3 that enables the ability to have a portion of your external SD to be used as the internal SD?
I am aware that there is a mod to totally switch the two, which is great.

But i don't really need this, i'm only after a portion of the external SD to be used.
When i was on the Desire HD, the Hero and similar phones, they all had this ability, i know that the S3 has the internal memory set as the SD, but it'd be great to have usage of some of the EXT SD.
Any help, idea's, thoughts and tips would be great.
I was thinking would it be possible to cheat the phone into thinking that it's a 32GB version and just having 16GB of the Ext SD used in conjunction with the internal 16GB.
No idea where to start with that either.
Cheers.

Hey all, just got my galaxy s2 (first android device) and curious as to whether its better to store music/videos on the microsd or the 16gb onboard memory
Will the phone slow as the 16gb fills up? any disadvantage to keeping it on the microSD? slower?
Thanks, any feedback would be super!
(have donated to several ROMs, not just a leech )
As you want. If you want a SD card then try to buy a good one having higher class.

Yea I have a 32gb class 4, just curious as to how people portion their memory, what do they keep on the main 16gb phone memory compared to the SD? advantages/disadvantages of each?
Cheers for quick reply anyway
Put songs videos docs backups on external sd card thats just safety .
Apps go where they are written to .
jje
it depends, if you're into flashing ROMs regularily then I'd keep things on the external_sd (microSD).. so when it comes to backup you just need to nandroid and then copy everything on /sdcard to /external_sd
if not then just stick with internal, it's faster
I apologize in advance if this topic has been covered already. Having said that, is there any way to increase the device memory on the i777? 2gb isn't enough for my needs and I was hoping someone has figured out how to increase it. I'd be happy with 4gb.

It has 16gb.....
It comes with 16gb internal sd card and an external sd card slot that supports up to 32 gigs. Push menu then settings then storage and it will tell you your free space look at the picture i attached the usb storage is the internal sd card
First 2gigs are for your system. ROM etc. Nothing should be filling that up, unless something is wrong.
The other 12gigs are for anything else you install. Apps/Pictures/Backups. If those 12 gigs run out, then you buy a MicroSD card.
I know this is a super old thread but just had a couple real easy questions...
Is it normal for apps to save files both to my phone memory and SD card (i have not downloaded any apps to do this)?
And second, Where does the device memory (which I believe is the 2 gig the original poster was talking about) come into play? I mean does it store the files their for quick access?
I'm due for an upgrade, and am considering the GS3 or possibly even the Note 2 if I can hold out that long.
I'm curious why I would ever need more than 16gb of internal storage when I could easily buy a 64gb microSD for ~50$
I understand apps can't be installed on the SD (stock, at least), but other than that, is there any reason to have more internal storage?
You can just buy a 64 GB and microSD. Yes, you can't install apps on the SD card... in theory. But THE solution is there :

u need more internal storage if u are gamers..if ur fon not rooted..u cant move apps 2 sd..all big and small size game will be stored in internal memory..
Is it possible to fool the Amaze to show the SD card as the internal storage and use it as internal storage? What about the 14GB internal SD to be in place of the 2GB internal storage and the SD card to be in place of the 14GB internal SD, so that removing the SD card doesn't impair the system.
I want 32 GB for games, not that crappy 2GB internal storage I have. There are apps that link the files to the internal storage, but I want a better solution (the one I listed above)

What you want is an apple device which has that cramped up memory which in my opinion sucks... See android have 2gb of internal storage for apps because our apps are created to be able to save most of the memory onto the SD Card... If u want 32gb of memory for games ill recommend to get an iPod touch that way u will save your phones battery... I only support ipods, iPhones are just ridiculous trying to keep up with android which is not working...

You might as well just use apps2sd

No wonder my sister's 16GB Iphone 4S get's slow when she put too many apps on her phone. She will be back with android soon

I don't like apple devices as iOS is a locked operating system. Its like living in a communist country. I want more space for gaming as I am a gamer. Someone modded the Note II to do that, so I was wondering for the Amaze. I have bought many games on Google Play and I, in no way, want to spend twice for the same game on the iPod, plus Apple overprice their ridiculous products (I know Samsung does so, too, but at least they give more freedom and features).
One 2 GB game like NOVA 3, Modern Combat 3, Amazing Spiderman, or Dark Knight Rises will fill it up, then you are left with insufficient space.
I have found an experimental fix as idk if removing the external sd would crash the system:

Not sure if this is what you're lookin for. But I've read THIS thread a while back. It's only for GameLoft games.
You won't be able to download it from the Play Store so you'll have to retrieve and install it manually but it still works.
So i stumbled across getting a free 64gb class 10 sd card for my note 2 and was wondering what benefits does having a sd card have besides more storage and what more that its class 10? Im a noob to the whole sd cards with phones as i usually never buy sd cards but with this one being free i said sure why not. I would also like to know if there are any performance enhancements with having this sd card now? I appreciate the help ahead of time
Why wouldnt you want more storage lol...i have like 11gb of music on my sd card you can put movies on it anything..and there are ways to swap your internal memory and sdcard so you could theoretically have 64gb of internal memory...i gota 32gb card if ya wanna trade hahah
