Good morning, I'm new in rom and kernel flashing: I started a week ago looking for a trick to increase the internal memory of my xperia ray.
I read a lot in forums, I've also tried to follow suggestions on how to create ext partitions on the sd card in order to increase internal memory, but nothing!
Only a lot of problems inrom/kernel incompatibility, bootloops... quite frustating.
Now I'm using ROM Ultimate HD 3.0.2, and CTcaer 2.6 Kernel.
But my final goal is to increase the internal memory with a part of my sd card (Samsung 16GB class 10).
Any suggestions? I tried int2extv2+, but the memory size didn't changed. Maybe I'm using a wrong kernel.
Please help.
Thank you very much

I'll try to use it, but I'd like to understand which is the difference between using link2sd or a script in the init.d, if there is a difference in performance.
Thank you.

for me actually never use script and didn't know about it
and at my point of view the difference of performance is in sd card class u use

Installed link2sd... atg the beginning I had some problems: link2sd wasn't able to create scripts; after fixing access permissions all worked properly.
Just one question: is there a limit for the ext partiotion size?
Thank you
would like to know that too!

I use ram manager pro and it optimize your ram memory a lot, besides deleting all useless apps from your system and making your sd partition and swap partition...

How to sd partition and swap partition on 4gb sd card
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
first of all i must say i read once its better to have a high class sd card, for example class 6, it doesn't matter the space, its more important the class because higher class higher speed.
i must say i have a 8 gb sd class 6 and i have brilliant performance.
so if you have smaller class u can try but i can't tell u it will work perfect because i don't know.
about the way you can do it look for it in matmutant faq because he posted an easy tutorial explained by a guy called ferotakis i think...
look for it and if u find it let me know. if not i will try to explain here or will look it for you...
U mean the RBAP thread by matmutant...?

yeah! thats it! look there for the way to use app2sd and you will see a short tutorial by ferotakis on how to do the partition. after that look in post 3 of that page also because there is a list of useless apps u can delete to increase your memory and RAM.
Thanx buddx..

aps2sd is not difficult at all. it depends on how many apps u will install in ur phone. if u install a lot u should use aps2sd if not u can use native move to sd. the difference is native always leave a part of the apps in the inside memory and app2sd moves the whole ap. I've used both and considering i usually install a lot of apps I've had much better results with app2sd. now its up to you
but everything is well explained in matmutant faq.
I saw that some of the Sony devices ( i think X10) can increase RAM size by using SD card. That method available for LWW WT19?
I try that method but not work with CM9.1
Thanks!

Basically, swapping should be possible to enable on almost any device. I wrote a short description about how to do it manually here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29617650&postcount=6
You'll need an ext3 or ext4 partition on your SDcard.
Hi
it's like creating a swap file; not fast as Ram but perhaps useful.
There are also simpler but less performing methods as creating swap file on fat32, as swapper2 app does.
Or if you have unlocked bootloader you can use rage kernel which already has 3 different scripts to swap memory to cache, to system and to sd. In any case, i don't know how useful it can be, it really stresses the sd card and it just gives more space to the phone to occupy memory. Android automatically frees up memory needed for an application to run by closing unnecessary activities, usually cached, so if you give it more "space" you will still end up with more running services with subsequent impact on phone performance.
There's a lot of app you can find on the market that can do this but i forgot the name
Just search something like ram booster or something like that on the market

Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I have a question: I know that i can't do a sd partition without a mod kernel, but there's no mod kernel for my device(sola)!
In development section there is a script that let me move app to sd but I don't understand if it works like Link2sd or if it is a great substitute of a sd partition..
Tnx for help!
are you refering to sd card not mounting as sd ? if so and you are a rpot user if u can send me ur vold.stab from systrm/etc i can look at changing it for you

I mean the ext sd card, I have one of 8 GB class 10 and i want to putt maps and other app there, but i can't partition this.
I think that this tool could help me but i don't understand very well it..(here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932480&page=2)
just attach it in a pm to me that batch file will work but will not let you mount sd tp the pc i q

that is absolutely not true. you dont need a custom kernel to partition your sd card.
what you need is a class 4 and above memory card and a rooted phone.
here is a full and easy guide that i always use everytime when i want to partition my sd card to use link2sd

I'm sorry maybe cause of my bad english u guys don't understand my question,i only want to save the full app on the real sd card,i mean the one that u could pick up from the phone and put in ur computer,i know that i have to create a partition on my sd card but i didn't know if the kernel support it; so i serach something alternative like a script.
I'm really sorry for this misunderstanding!

so you are saying that the apps and app data are biengs stored on ur internel memory not your sd card when using apps2sd
Sent from my ST27i using xda app-developers app
Link2sd moves tha app on my ext sd card (not the phone sd card) but i know that it doesn't move it completly, it moves only a part, the other still stay on the memory's phone (or phone sd card i don't know).
I read a some post on this and in order to move totally the app to the ext sd card I know is necessary create a partition on the ext sd card and have a custom kernel (i'm not really sure about this last thing because a user over here says that it doesn't necessary and stock kernel is ok);
I only want to know if there is a alternative method to move the full app on the ext sd card (like the script in the post of the development section, but i don't understand if it's the solution that i'm seraching) or the only way is create a partition on the sd card (using a mod kernel or not..).
tnx a lot!
Seeing as how the rezound has a whopping 2.34 gb dedicated for /data, what's the best way to incorporate data2sd if at all possible? The sdcard is formatted and ready to go, all I need is the best way to add the capabilities. Thanks.

u mean 2.34 GB for app storage, right? because rezound has approximately 11 GB for data storage (the phone storage).
from the subject if u mean something like app2sd darktremor script, super app2sd script, cronmod data2sd/ext2sd script or any others. All these scripts have 2 specific partitions for both the app and data by using partitioned sd card, i've used for some my old phones.
i've read related threads here for seeking the function too but never find at least one special thread about this kind of modding or other rom threads that provide data2script mod in their roms. Honestly i need it too
may be u have to make some gambling here for trying to use universal data2sd/ext2sd or any kinds which compatible for rezound in general hacking modding thread

Look at Link2SD... I have been using it since the days of my HTC Aria, it essentially makes your programs partition as large as you have SD card partition space and it has a nice interface. You do have to partition your SD card though, adding a partition specifically for Link2SD and then the application creates symbolic links in the normal partition for apps that point to the sd card. Make sure you read the instructions on how to use it though, or you will be wasting your time (use Link, not move).

Hey there guys. I have been looking for some way how to change capacity of my Internal storage, which is now (without any download apps) about 80 mb (quite low). I have a AceJB rom from here, which take a lot of space, but I do not want to give up on it. I believe, there is someway how to do it, but i just cannot find it. So, there is a question. How can I make SD card as an internal storage?
Thanks in advance!

Its simple actually. Just flash CronMod Unoffical script from CWM. Make sure to have an ext partition of maximum size 1GB (anymore and the system will lag). Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial
Hope I Helped

You can have any size for the ext partition. But bigger the size you have, laggier the system will become. As per script, 100 MB internal is needed for every 500 MB of ext partition. So its best to have an ext partition of maximum 1 GB. Hope I Helped
