Swapping Internal and External Memory - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Hello. Given that there is no app2sd for the Medal as yet, is there away to simply get the phone to treat the external sd as the main memory lock stock and barrel?
I've tried folder mounts with no luck. I know there's some talk of a Hong Kong ROM that had App2sd but it doesn't sound like it's that recent...

Store apps on USB storage

I apologise if this a nooby question but I've searched and can't find anything. Is it possible to store the apps on the 16gb usb storage instead of device storage. I don't have a memory card cos i think the 16gb will be ample big enough.
Cheers

What do you mean? All your apps go on a different partition which is 2gb in size. I hope you are not talking about using apps2sd...

Oh rite thanks for clearing it up. Just on my old phone (n97) the device storage was different to the usb storage. If i use up more of the device will the phone run slower? Sorry for the questions just want to try and get the best out of the phone, thanks : )

well, the addiional 11GB of the internal memory is also mounted as "sdcard" (while the actual SD card looks like a standar folder on this partition called "external_sd"), but you won't be able to use it for applications via apps2sd... at least my stock rom doesn't allow this, that works only with the actual SD card.
Either way, the primary 2GB offers plenty of room except if you want to install the whole android market on it.
When I tried to install NavFree I got an error Not enough space.

Storing music...internal vs extrernal?

Hey guys. I can't remember exactly what I did but it seems like everything's saved on my SD card and almost nothing is in my internal storage. I have 10.67 out of 10.69 gigs free of internal storage while I only have .96 gigs of 7.40 gigs of my SD card left. 3 gigs are from music. Now my question is would it be smart to move my music to the internal storage or would it be smarter to move other things from the SD card to internal because as I said I basically have nothing on the internal mem

Bump...anyone?

It really doesn't matter. Some music apps only scan internal, so guess that's an argument for going with that option. Just know that a wipe rom will wipe your music. I'd get a 32gb external
Yea true. Hmm I just cannot recall what I had on my internal storage which is now on my SD card. Wish I knew what was taking up all of the space under root explorer I can see everything on the SD card I just don't know what I do and don't need on there and what is taking up all the space while my internal storage still has virtually no room being taken up. Also anyone running cm7 is the default under cyanogenmod settings>application is the box unchecked or checked for use internal storage? Mine is unchecked

Cyanogenmod 9 Emmc Storage Issue

So lately I've noticed that my SD card is apparently full, like I'll get warning messages when downloading apps and stuff that the storage space is insufficient. But I know the overall storage space and I haven't used anywhere near that much. And I tried removing two files I didn't need through USB storage, and the space still didn't go up! I'm using cyanogenmod 9 on the Samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G.

Its your internal storage not your SD card.

OK, but on app 2 SD it shows around 600 mb internal memory that is still usable. But when I go into what's on the SD card in that same app, it shows 0 free space which is also false. I know that the regular sdcard is the internal memory and ex-sd card or emmc is external. But still I dont have anything in there taking up that much space, app2sd shows that. And I've already dug around in root explorer and I couldn't find any massive data doing this.

Here, this is what app2sd is showing me.

OK so I think the problem is that since cyanogenmod doesn't use the regular external SD card folder, and uses the emmc folder instead, that's causing this.

Hi,
I did try the swapping process in order to get extended memory. But, in canvas hd i found out that there is another partition called Phone Storage which is not effected even by the swapping of the other two memories.
So my question here is can we swap or increase the phone storage memory with external sd card? Also i would like to understand the memory distribution of Micromax Canvas HD, in order to find a way to increase the phone storage area. Also, i will be googling for these doubts but any help from here would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aditya

Transferring Apps to External SD Card

I love my Z2. I bought the LG G3 and S5 at the same time and sold my G3 and gave my son the S5. I was a dyed in the wool Samsung fan until they quit making international models that worked on AT&T with FM radios. I listen to talk radio all day on my Z2 without using any data and with little battery drain.
I have rooted the Z2 and installed the exposed framework, but am not able to move apps to the SD card like I can with my Note 2 and S5. The Z2 only comes with 16GB of storage internally. I cannot believe that there isn't a way to store apps and their data on the SD card. I know that with KitKat Google has been limiting what can be done with the SD cards ( very idiotic).
Any ideas?

Yes use the 'kitkat SD card full access' xposed module and folder mount to sort it out

That module does not allow one to move an app to the SD Card. Thanks anyway.

But this module allows any app to write to SD Card. Then you can use folder mount to mount apps and its data to sd card.
