hey all iv got CM10 running on my galaxy S, however i do notice that i have a 1.4gig free internal memory and also a 5.7gb free on internal usb and then my SD card.
is there a way i can merge the internal 1.4gig free with the usb drive partition to have a single internal partition and just sd card for external storage?
why did this get moved to the galaxy s2 forum when the question was about a galaxy s, the i9000?

Hello.
I just bought a MicroSD, and saw on ESExplorer that the phone mounts the externalSD inside the sdcard folder /sdcard/external_sd
That way, it thinks I only have 11.5Gb available and everything I put inside my external_sd actually fills the internal memory.
I should have 11.5+8=19.5 but I don't.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks a lot!
I can't believe no one has a Galaxy S2 with an external Sd card!

Settings menu/storage and did you format it there first? Or do you use Kies and what is it using for sending stuff to your memory (Internal or External First?)
In settings/storage do you see both cards? In mine I can see SD card 29.81gb & USB storage 11.5gb.
Yes it shows the external card folder in the internal file explorer. It doesn't mean files are saved on the internal card. It was also like that on the S1 as well.
When you connect to PC in USB mode the PC will show both cards separately.

external_sd is just the mount point. You will only have ~12gb available on your internal memory because the phone uses some memory for the OS. I only have 7.4gb usable on my 8gb external sd. The available memory is always smaller than advertised

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!

I am really in trouble!
I've just bought Samsung Galaxy S4 Korean made. In the storage option there are two general tabs:-
1- is about Sd card storage which is only 17.8 MB and
2- is about Internal Storage 16GB. So my question is that how can i use internal storage of 16GB as SD card data.
Another problem with my device is that whenever i wanted to put ext sd card (microsd card) it does not show any thing like preparing sd card nothing....
Please Solve my this problem i shall be very thankful to you!
This is my first question on XDA. I'm sorry if I'm posting it wrong or something.
I'm flashed CM11 on a Galaxy S2 and I'm trying to re-partition the 2GB internal storage.
Essentially I would like to have all the 16GB(13.5) as my internal storage and also use an EXTERNAL SD(Physical card) as the INTERNAL SD CARD.
I tried these posts and also used some of the files given in it

It worked well, but I want the phone to ignore the existing INTERNAL SD CARD partition and use my EXTERNAL SD as the INTERNAL SD CARD.
I'm not sure if I'm placing the question right but I hope some one can help me out.
I have a stock Galaxy Tab A - SM-P580 - 16GB. I am using a 200GB SD card. I am running up against the wonderful internal storage issue. I have less than 1GB of free internal storage. It says I have 7GB in Apps. I assume the rest of the storage is being used by the Android OS. I would like to move a pile of this to the SD card but am not being allowed to. I have read about using various mods that will allow me to use the SD card (partial or fully) as internal storage and I have read pros and cons regarding doing that. I need to do something so I am asking: what is the best path to take here? Caveat: This excludes buying a new tablet with more internal memory. Thank you all!
