Hey devs
So basically my friend has got a used phone and a while later the phone started to screw up "lag and stuff"
Phone says storage is full meanwhile there wasn't so many data in the internal SD card, so I had a look at it and decided to flash a PIT file
THE QUESTION IS:
Storage says the internal SD is 4GB but my friend says it was a lot bigger than that but he doesn't know by how..
IS THERE ANY workaround that allows me to know the actual storage space??

Hi all,
I have just purchased a N9330 Note 2 and I am wondering if anyone has managed to merge the phone's
Internal Storage (512M) and Phone Storage 1.68GB.
The Internal Storage will always run out of space (since it is only 512M) and the low disk space warning would come on.
I just want to merge these two together so I get about 2GB of space for Android to run from since I already put a 16GB micro SD
i feel the 1.68GB that is factory partitioned as a storage space can be put to better use and solve my low disk space warning.
Also I am trying to clear the Dalvik Cache from this phone. How do I do that?
I really hope someone can help me. Thanks!!
Sv: [Q] N9330 - How to merge the Internal Storage and Phone Storage
Also looking for a way to do this, as I'm not pleased with the current alternative roms.
This is exactly what I need to do. Please could someone help if they know. I need to update my Google apps that are required to be on internal storage and not on SD storage.
Common experts.. Reply..
I am looking for the same answer from pretty long time and done my homework but couldnt find a answer. Common experts, give us a way to combine internal storage and phone storage...
Cheers..
There won't be a way to combine them, but there usually is a way to swap the storage mount points so the phone recognizes the external as the internal and vice versa by messing with the vold.fstab file. Any method to extend your storage either via that method, or by using other ways like Links2SD or CronMod will all involve the phone being rooted.
You can easily merge/resize the storage size, please refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240954
Dalvik Cache can be cleaned using Titanium Backup or Link2Sd or any similar program.
Just remember to factory reset after resizing.

Good day everyone, today was using my phone normally all of a sudden I was editing a word document in my phone and when I tried to save changes it wouldnt let me cause I dont have enough memory left, checked my internal memory and out of 11.5 gb I had 0 left even when Ive only used 3 gb of that memory. Thought it was a problem I could solve by rebooting but even after that the phone shows the same memory available,
connected it to my pc to try and fix errors but the option wont show when I access the memory and when trying to copy files it takes ages, my question is if I format the sd through the android menu, would there be a problem ?? since Im rooted and using paranoid android 2.54 dont know if any necesary files are in there and what would it cause if I delete them.
If this helps at all I got a 1.97 gb memory for system, 11.5 internal memory and an external sd card of 32 gb, the 11.5 one is the only one not working.
Any suggestions are welcome thanks a lot

formatting the internal sd wont effect your system. But back up your data to your pc and format
I recently rooted my Android phone which is a china smartphone and i found many advantages with rooting my phone.
I currently installed link2SD application so that i could be able to link my internal memory to my SD memory so that i could free my internal memory. This resulted in being able to download various applications that before i couldn't as i didn't have enough storage on my internal phone memory. \
Yesterday i went to use my camera app and i got an error saying that i didn't have enough phone memory available so i went to Settings>Storage and noticed that i actually had 2 partitions in my phone excluding the SD card. I had a Partition for the phone and another for the internal. My question is, is there a way i could remove my phone memory partition and allocate the space to the internal memory?
Sorry but im quite a noob and new to this forum, any help is greatly appreciated,
Sincerely, D.
Hi,
can anyone tell me if it's possible to write a script to run on start-up to ensure my phone sets my Storage to SD
Occasionally I find it has all of a sudden returned to internal storage and when I use my camera photos go to the internal rather than my SD card
Hoping someone can help
thanks

Hi everywone.
I watch more tutorials how and not help me.
I have problem one on my device.
Problem is memory in internal storage (1gb)
In settings->storage i have:
"Internal storage" , "Sd card storage" and "Phone storage"
3x storage, one is my "sd card extern"
All my apps/data/cache going to Internal Storage.
Phone storage always is empty and cant move on phone storage.
On sd card i can move all apps because i have rooted device.
Ok problem is not move apps, problem is so many apps using more "cache" and "data" and saving only in "Internal storage2 /data"
I want cache and data move to sd card or bind auto going to sd card folder like "data" "cache" and other..
No on internal storage. Because i need more spaces.
Internal storage its 1gb.
SD card: 16gb
Phone storage: 1gb
Idk why phone storage its not combine with internal storage like "ONE" and have 2gb.
Can u help me guys ?
I watch one tutorial say like: download: ES FILE explorer in root main find: system/etc/vold.fstab
If open vold.fstab replace line: sdcard0 to sdcard 1 and down sdcard1 to sdcard0.
If i do this i only replace: SD card storage with Phone storage and not help for me that because i want replace: Internal storage to sd card storage, and cant beacuse idk where is that file or line ? or can u one codder write that line and i can put it ? Pls guys and ty so much all
BUMP

Don't feel so bad about not receiving any replies on this forum. I have been flashing ROMs through this forum since Windows Mobile 2003 and in that time, xda-developers has become so big and unwieldy that it is VERY difficult to find a forum where people who know the answers can even see your question.
I have been asking essentially the same question as you for over four months and in that time no one has seen the question OR some newbie organiser has moved it to an obviously wrong forum solely to annoy the forum members there! It isn't clear who is running this forum any more but unlike the old days, no one seems technical any more unless they ACTUALLY POST to specific forums.
Do we have the same phone? I have an alps/MT6571 (possibly made by a company in China called HDC) with 16 gig of storage, nothing whatsoever in it and mysteriously no space left (with a few hundred meg showing available most of the time). Something in the extraordinarily badly written ROM (Hexing71_et_lca) is stopping the OS from addressing the storage space.
I even tried prising the back off the phone carefully and inserting a 32 gig sd card in it and designating that as the phone's storage but now the device reports the SD card as storage, there being 32 gig of storage, still nothing whatsoever in it and still mysteriously no space left, still with a few hundred meg showing available most of the time. Something in the extraordinarily badly written Hexing71_et_lca ROM is stopping the OS from addressing ANY storage space!!
Seems like the same phone? No one here knows the answer and no one will accept your challenge. A few users have reported this problem with this phone and this ROM on www.china-devices.com and no one there knows the answer either. There have also been postings on needrom but all trails there have gone dead as well. It seems everyone tries to back up their ROM to SD card, then they try to figure out what is wrong and then so much is wrong with it that everyone gives up.
