I'm running out of space in my data partition, looking to partition another sd-ext on the internal sd card on my galaxy s2.
Can it be done? If so, how?!
I do know how to do it through recovery on an external SD card... but no idea how or if it's possible to do it to my internal, which would be preferable!

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me, I was trying to do a full wipe of my phone and returning everything to stock i.e wipe everything then flash stock rom.
Firstly I wipe data/factory resest
wipe cache partition
Then I went into mounts and format system, data, cache, sd card but when I try to format emmc it says error mounting /emmc!
When I try mounting emmc it says again Error mounting /emmc!
I'm an idiot but can someone tell me what the emmc is and why the hell it's not mounting?
Is it not the internal memory, if so shouldn't it be mounted?
Thanks
It does not need formatting whatever it is . System data and sd card is plenty .

Well this is confusing, sd card in my mind was an ACTUAL sd card, and emmc is apparentley internal memory.
I inserted a micro sd card, and formatting emmc formats the micro sd card.
Why does sd card in the options refer to the internal memory?!

You will have to ask the developer .
Einstein i believe had something to say about emmc .

So, the filename for the real sd card is sd-ext, while the internal memory is sdcard, is there any way to correct this and allow the installation of apps to the real sd card?
Hi, is it possible to increase the size of the partition where the apps are located? in other devices like my iPad I can use the total amount of disk space for apps but in my Galaxy SII if I want to have lot of apps I have a small 2gb partition. Do you know a solution? I need more space for apps...
Thanks!
Are you talking about the internal or external (SD card) disk?
I think the internal disk space is fixed to a custom partition, but if you're using App2SD or any similar script with a partition inside the SD card, you can repartition that partition to fix your needs without problem with any partition editor (like GParted).
I'm talking about the internal memory of the SII ... In other gadgets like Apple we have the entire disk space to install applications if we like.
Do you know a method to increase the space of the app partition? I think that is not a great solution to depend of an SD card, we have a lot of memory on the phone. I don't know why samsung have limited to 2GB the data partition, I think is too small...
Any idea about resize the partitions of internal memory?

Don't know if its possible atm...
What do you have installed that you need +2Gb for apps? Have you considered moving some apps to SD?
/data partition has 2Gb
/sdcard has 8Gb
Both partitions are from the internal memory so moving any app from /data to /sdcard won't affect your speed, since both are internal memory...
PS: Despite the name, /sdcard is internal and /sdcard/external_sd is the external SD Card mounted on the phone.
Hi! AzureusPT thanks for your help... The problem is when I try to move to Sd card a message appears saying that I have to insert an SD Card... so I think that is not possible to move applications to /sdcard internal memory.
Do you know another method?

sd card means micro sd card.. the /sdcard is the internal sd card w/c you can store data internally.. external sd card is your memory card.. the way android works is (or sgs2) has 3 partitions, 500+ for rom, 2gb for applications and tge rest for storage.. for games like gameloft which has huge amount of data, the installer itself is in thr 2gb partition while its data is stored in the 11gb + partition.. so no need to worry about running out of space

I'm looking to find out how in the heck to install apps into the phone's internal SD partition.
To free up internal memory, I know you can format a microSD card into an EXT and FAT partition. Then you link apps using link2SD, freeing up more internal memory and storing most data on the microSD card, in the EXT partition.
I'd like to do exactly this, but with the internal SD partition acting as the microSD card. That is, format the internal partition into FAT and EXT, then use link2SD to link to the new EXT partition on the internal SD card.
Minitool Partition Wizard just will not do it. How is this possible? Is this even possible??
Hey guys, just a quick question I'm running the 9/15/12 nightly and I was wondering how do I erase the data on my external SD card? I can erase the internal SD card, but not the external one. Any ideas?
Just mount it and reformat on the pc
