It's not a kernel thing. Your device has most likely has enough storage and ram to accommodate the rom, your stuff and storage for your apps. My device, GS3's and probably more really have no problem with this. My captivate on the other hand had such little ram and phone storage, the emmc chip was partitioned with 1.5gb of phone storage, 550 megs of rom storage and the rest USB(13gb or so) However moving apps also meant widgets wouldn't work. Hope this shines a little light on the situation.

I was checking out the s4 thread and they seem to use something called foldermount I haven't read that much on it but it might help you out. I also forgot my nexus doesn't have a external card like my captivate.

Hello All,
I apologize if there was a thread about this in the past I tried searching but wasn't sure how to exactly word it. I was wondering about sd cards and partitions, I believe that the max size the atrix 4g is 32gb internal. What I was wondering is it possible to take a 64gig card partition it into 2 32gb partitions and have the phone be able to read those separately?
Thanks
Most android devices support 64gb microsd. Feel free to try it, btw is not the internal. Internal is 16gb for all of the device needs, os, webtop, etc and the external, the one you are mentioning.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Well I read like the default specs and it said it supports up to 32gb external but that was written I think before 64gb cards. I'm running cm7 so that may help too. Would just hate to spend the money if I put it in and it only recognizes 32 lol.

Is there any way to upgrade the internal 16GB storage to a 32GB? I'm not referring to the external MicroSD card.
It might be possible i think samsung use SD cards as their internal storage.
Yh of course there is sell ur 16gb version nd buy the 32gb version

ORRRRRRRR you can try this

is it even possible ? unless there are motherboard with 32 gb for sale ?
This is not possible for the conventional person unless you have access to some pro level reflow ovens and flash chips.

You need a laptop hard drive, super glue and a hammer.

So is that basically a no, without serious mods to the phone?
Dude the internal flash memory is what's called smd in electronics (surface mounted device). Basically they are miniaturized semiconductor components with tiny solder pads which can only be joined with specialized equipment.
It's impossible to mess with it at home, that's why I sprung the extra cash for the 32gb version.

This is indeed a very interesting notion since the galaxy s3 was my very first smartphone and android I thought to myself that with the 16gb internal SD with an extra external SD card it should suffice but I was very wrong as apps only install in the internal SD card and I'm almost at my limits since I have alot of HD games and apps installed.

Just buy a 64 GB micro sd card.
Have a look at Directory Bind. This should solve your space issues (assuming you have a micro sd card in your phone).

hope so , so far there is no update on this , not sure if samsung gonna enable this,
even a china phone with android has this function
This makes me crazy. Why do they claim 8gb when there is not even 5gb usable? Be honest, say 5gb so we are able to gauge what we are getting. At least when you get an SD card almost all of it is there.
You forgot 2 gb internal storage for apps..yes its not full 8 gb ..its 7 point something but it never is.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
It is the same reason for your hdd on your pc. The drive does have 8gb total but some of it is used up by the system's OS. Your usable space is actually 5.5gb with 1.3gb being used for apps. Any storafe medium does this. If you notoce on sd cards it may say 16gb but the user only has access to 14 gb
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
-sigh- because there really is 8gb of memory and they would be lying if they said 5gb. Think about it; all tech companies list the memory as the total amount of internal memory, not just available memory. If Samsung had a guilty conscience and said the galaxy player had 5gb, how could you compare to the iPod, that still said 8gb? There really is 8gb, but only 5gb available. Life tends to not be perfect.

Just buy a 64gb MicroSD and swap the internal with the external, then you'll have 64gb for apps to be installed on.

Not insulting your intelligence here as you may have done/tried this already, but in the file explorer you are using, you are granted root permissions as well as mounting the file system as writable when trying to delete this swap file correct?
The other thing to consider is that the read/write speeds of the actual RAM are much much much higher than the read/write speeds of the flash storage. So that's why you're experiencing super slow speeds Greg.
Like said above, android manages RAM very well to begin with, there is really no need for this.

I would avoid swap. I tested using swap on my device by adding a swap file manually(using terminal and swapon) and it worked at first. After leaving the device on for a while, though, I started getting long lag spikes.
LOL you actually spent 9 dollars on that greg? Must be nice to have money to throw away at crap.

Yeah, I just love paying money to kill my device.
All these VM apps do, is set aside some flash memory as a paging file, which over time all those repeated writes will result in the internal flash memory dying.
As the above said... using flash as swap is a terrible idea. The swap file is treated just like ram in that it gets a ton of random reads and writes. Flash memory has a limited lifespan as far as read/writes go and all you are doing is accelerating the destruction of the storage. Swap files were intended to be used on magnetic storage based hard drives that can handle the abuse.

Theres an option to use your external sd. That's what Im doing, at 1080 mb it does show in the app that its using about 100mb for ram. Yes I know it can kill my memory. But I haven't had any issues yet, just my two cents. But prolly gonna take it off tho

If you do this, partition off the end of your SD card and use that space. That way when the flash dies, you can simply not use that part of the SD card any longer.
Certainly don't do swap on the internal storage, ever.

meh. I'll be waiting for something with a removable battery and micro SD. I just can't be bothered to spend that kind of cash and get something that could get a pooched battery, then what?

I added this comment there. I'm baffled by that reasoning...
"If someone can figure out how to connect a Nexus device to their PC using a USB, then I'm fairly certain they wouldn't not suddenly become overwhelmed by this "fandangled device" called an external SD card.
They weren't too complicated for people to use in their cameras, and they even had them in their PCs.
You know what's more complicated? Pairing a Bluetooth device, or NFC and yet these technologies remain persistent....
An SD card, you simply pop it in the slot, and if they don't know it's there, then they're not going to lose sleep over it. No settings pop ups, no panic."
It's a cop out to not include them. And there is more motivation to pay for the higher memory device. It's too bad and on occasion I'm sure the normal user doesn't know which one it is saved to... Why not have the slot, but not include a card. That way those who find the concept 'complicated' don't have to bother with purchasing one and others can... Oh well Google, you're crazy!

All it takes is one manufacturer to see what the rest are doing, and offer the feature that people demand, and sell a ton of devices.
