I do have a china GT-i9300 phone with ICS 4.0.4.
It has 512MB internal storage, 2GB SD internally, and I have a 32 GB external sdcard, by default mounted as sdcard2.
Now I did root it, installed a cwm recovery and flashed a rom labeled 4.1.9. (Still ICS 4.0.4)
Installing this rom does some changes to the storage space that I find useful.
It remaps the internal 2GB sdcard into phone storage, and my 32GB external card is mounted as sdcard. And my internal 512MB storage is now monted as sdcard2.
This is all good, but can anyone tell me ho this is done?
Can I do the same on any other android phone?

Hello,
I have a MTK based phone (Star 7189/Alps v89_jbl1a668_fwvga) running 4.2.1 with 1G phone storage, 2G internal SD card and an external 16G SD card.
Even though most of my apps are actually located on the external SD card, I am still down to only 60M free on phone storage. The internal SD on the other hand is practically empty.
Is there no way to mount the internal SD card on /data thus increasing internal phone storage for apps etc?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hello,
I recently bought a Lenovo A820 and am currently using LambdaROM 2.3.5a. My phone has 4GB of internal space and I have a 8GB microSD card in it as well. My internal storage is running low, but my internal sd card is empty and cannot be used, because I've all things on the external sd. Is there anyway to merge the internal sd card with the internal phone storage? I've searched long and hard already, but found no concrete information. I know I can swap memories and even link my sd card to the phone storage. But my internal storage is 4GB which only 2GB are being used for the phone storage and 2GB are partitioned to the internal sd card. I would like to merge them into the internal phone storage, if possible. My question is: is it possible? If so, how can I do it?
Thank you.

Hi
You cannot merge virtual internal SD and physical external SD into one volume.
However you can probably swap it - which should solve all of your problems.
Your phone has MTK6589 chip, so the process will be similar as on my Snopow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777140
After the swap external SD will be visible as internal SD and the other way round. That means you can buy 64GB SD card and have all this space available for installing apps because phone will see this card as internal storage.
Can anybody help me with this. My tablet has 1gb internal storage and another internal storage at 11gb
Why is it like that, can you guys help me merging it.
I'm on android 4.2, rooted
and it says my internal sd is emulated.
Hi, it is possible to connect internal storage and phone storage?
I install this: boot_v2.55-zram-uv_multirom_6.7.28_fix_mem which replaces the phone's internal memory to an external SD card and this rom: multirom_HMW_6.7.28_v4.4.2_b114_7a4a219dcb and i have 30gb phone storage and 2gb internal :/ and I would like this to be as one c;
I have a spare cheap ZTE phone that only has 8GB internal memory.
So I added a 16GB external SD card and formatted that as Internal Storage. Now on the android phone, I was finally happy to be able to have all the apps install on the external 16GB microsd card.
In the android storage settings, it also shows up as 24 GB total (8GB phone plus 16GB microSD)
However, when I use ES Explorer or when I connect it to a PC, it only shows me 3.24 GB so I can't copy any music, photos, or large files... it's not letting me access/use that rest of the 24 GB I'm supposed to have available because Android seems to encrypt it (as it was Android formatted it as internal storage, I believe).
Android understands it has 24GB available when installing apps, but it only thinks it has 3.24 GB when trying to copy data files.
What is the deal with that? What should I do? Is there a workaround or fix?
