This isn't my tablet, I used to have a Gtab from 2010-2012. This is my cousin's tablet and he recently bricked it. I just updated his boot loader from 1.1 to 2.2 and flashed a Jelly Bean rom. My question is, since he was in a Ginger Bread rom previously and had his internal storage partitioned. How do I partition the internal storage with 4.X.X to be able to use all ~12GB of internal storage for apps? Right now it is showing ~4GB available space for apps, but when you go to storage. It shows an internal storage of ~12GB. Only when you go to Applications does it show ~4GB.
Thank you.

Hello, the 4GB yuo see is for internal application storage (sometimes referred to as "phone" storage). The 12GB is for photos, videos, etc. Some ROMs can use this storage for applications too - check with your ROM developer (andbe sure to thank them!).

Take a look at this post:

It involves modifying the build.prop to allow access to the internal partition.
Dear all
apologies probably for most of you this is a common topic
This is my first post on my first android devices
I bought a china phone running 4.2.1 with 4GB of internal storage not rooted
I'm very disappointed on how the device is managing storage
Currently the phone is reporting following partition:
phone storage: 1GB (600MB used)
SD: 4 GB
internal storage: 1,5 GB (not used at all)
Preferred disk writing: SD
I've all my application on the SD but the "phone storage" is increasing: some applications like firefox is storing cache on the "phone storage"
1) there is any way to install apps on "internal storage" partition?
2) If I'll root the phone there is any way to force the apps to use only SD and I mean only SD?
I've read about apps2SD but from my understanding there still some applications that will cache data on the phone storage
I'm looking forward to get help from you
Thanks you a lot!

I recently rooted my Android phone which is a china smartphone and i found many advantages with rooting my phone.
I currently installed link2SD application so that i could be able to link my internal memory to my SD memory so that i could free my internal memory. This resulted in being able to download various applications that before i couldn't as i didn't have enough storage on my internal phone memory. \
Yesterday i went to use my camera app and i got an error saying that i didn't have enough phone memory available so i went to Settings>Storage and noticed that i actually had 2 partitions in my phone excluding the SD card. I had a Partition for the phone and another for the internal. My question is, is there a way i could remove my phone memory partition and allocate the space to the internal memory?
Sorry but im quite a noob and new to this forum, any help is greatly appreciated,
Sincerely, D.

I'm on android 4.2, rooted
and it says my internal sd is emulated.
Hi
I have got a problem that my USB storage partition is not visible or functionally not available in the Internal Memory after I increased the internal memory. I used a PIT file of 8GB and now the phone displays that 8GB only as the device storage.
After expanded my device storage I have upgraded the phone with Cyanogenmod 12.1 and now my Androd version is 5.1.1 ( But I don't think this upgrade is the reason why I got this issue, because I have done this update earlier also without any issues). Its ok that I can still go ahead with the current storage configuration in my phone but the problem is when using apps like Whatsapp and all. Those applications require access desperately to internal Memory(USB storage partition).
Looking forward experts help and suggestions on this. Appreciate your help.
Regards,
I'm not an expert, but have you tried to wipe all partitions in recovery after the repartition?
