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

When you make partition in your SD card, you must know the maximum size for the partition. I tried to googling it (it's hard to find the best information) and finally, i got informations about it.
(IMPORTANT) For best performance, use SD Card with class 10!
For ext4, it has maximum size 2GB.
For swap, it has maximum size depends on your RAM and multiplied it by 2. ACE has (256MB) so the best swap size is about 400-512MB.
I've tried by myself, i have SDCard 8GB and i make partition for ext4 system 1.8GB and swap size about 496MB and it works fine, i've no problem with my SD Card.
You can check my Customization in this link :

This thread is just an info. Sorry if this is repost.
PS : If anyone find out the wrong things about the size number, please let me know. Thanks

Thanks for your info. I just edited the post, more detail about the SD card class that should be use.
Well..Using swap is ok,but some people has had problems with their ace when they used swap partition..So,its recommended not to use it

What kind of problem? I think if you make partition your SD card with right step, there will be no problem about it. So far, this swap function is truly increase my performance.
I think you should say that Swap partition is only for Darktremor script's users because I use S2E tool for moving apps to my SD card instead and I can't use a swap partition in my system!
Also, thank you very much for your info!

when using dtapp2sd and a2sdgui, I can see the swap partition status.
now I am using S2E and freespace, I can not see the swap partition usage. no idea it is used but can not see the status, or it is not used.

Hi adamziomal, you could configure and check swap with this free app: Swapper 2 (for Root users) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.swapper2

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.

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!

You can't increase ram or internel storage.
But you can create ext partition and link apps there via link2SD
And you may try to use swap partition if you want.

Man. it is so easy.
Just create a small ext3 partition to link your apps there.
You need your SD card to be fat primary partition ( except some MBs to be ext3 partition. )
Use mini tool partition wizard or do it from the recovery which will be easier for you.
and swap is not so important , set it to zero if you want.
27gb fat32 1gb for ext2.. Fast as hell and heaven.. I got 270-300++ internal memory.. 200mb ram.. Feel like trying swap but i scared my sd dead.. Hoho

Hmmm....you need to make 3 partition for your SD card if you want to use swap.....
First partition is FAT32 (must be primary) this partition is for your main storage....
Second partition is ext2,ext3 or ext 4 (must be primary) this partition is for install apps that link using link2SD or Mount2SD....
Third partition is Linux Swap....this partition is for swap (increase ram/performances)
Now all partition size you will make is depend on how you want it....basically 256mb for linux swap is enough but 512mb is recommended is you have SD sizes 16GB and above....for second partition 1GB is enough for installing apps....if you planing to install plenty of apps then 2GB is recommended only if you SD sizes is 16GB and above....for the first partition is what sizes left after your make all partition needed....
remember Swap will not be available right after you have partition is....you need swap scripts to make is available....

Nope.....you SD need to be formatted if you want to add other partition...beside adding partition means that your main partition (FAT32) sizes will be reduces...

Of course you can increase ram performance by increasing swap and can increase your internal storage by partitioning your sd card, but might decrease the read or write speed of your system as sd card is not as fast as internal memory of your phone
For detailed information just google around

hope can help u
first SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH . lol
im never login this account since 2 years ago.
to increase phone memory u can use application "LINK2SD" but, before u use it, i recommend u to make additional partition with ext2/4.
to increase ram maybe u can use with virtual ram. It not give big differents but for games it would be better.
i have MANUAL step to increase virtual memory ( such as adding secondary ram)
1. Download swap file ww*w.media*fire.c*om/?7pszmgi85sucuuc. Remove * . The password is "crescendo"
2. Extract it so from 800kb will be 800mb eace
3. Choose 1 from 3 files size for swap that u want ( up to you )
4. Copy file to /sdcard
5. U can type on "Terminal Emulator"
for example im using with 256mb size :
- to turned on swap
su
swapON sdcard/swap256
- to turned off swap
su
swapOFF sdcard/swap256
-) the green number can be changed and adjust it with size u want.
sorry if u dnt undestand. i cnt speak english well. lol

I put the whole URL this time to copy and paste.
I use the FREE EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to partition the sd card. I find it easier to and faster to back up the contents of sd card to computer than partition. and than transfer bkup to sd card on the 1st Primary Fat32 partition.
Takes to long to transfer 4 to 6 GB back from bkup to card from pc to phone IMO.
OR
Here is a step by step .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllIEBzuPHo I prefer the 4000MB partition for the NU storage.
Be sure to set or make BOTH the partitions "Primary" partitions or they will not work with Link2sd.
I tried Mini tool and Aparted but they might work for others, they didn't work for me.
Link2sd card is the most reliable and easy to do the linking from old tiny internal storage to the NEW enlarged external storage that I have found.
And if that app does not do it for anyone try foldermount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWTghTploY

So, basically your solution is based on using additional SD card not changing/modifying the phones' EMMC memory.
I think I had tried Link2SD/Folder mount earlier and not all apps supports with this method.
It is still helpful but I think we(other users) still like to change the EMMC side.
But I still want to tried your suggested method to try. Thank you!!!
