[MOD] Get More App Space! No More "Insufficient Storage" - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

INSTRUCTIONS, LINKS AND DEV NAMES IN SECOND POST
Yesterday I decided to just go ahead and try something they said was meant for the SGS 2 International only. I couldn't find any one that confirmed that it worked on the i777 (don't worry I'm using an i777 just a i9100 rom). I repartitioned the device moving my app storage up from the default 2.+GB to approximately 5.9GB at the cost of loosing some internal storage (now 7+GB) but who cares I got a SD card for that.
Here's a screenshot

You may have been beaten to the punch, as this was already accomplished for the i777:

Been away for a Lil while, yeah, maybe I was beaten to it but that method is kinda tedious and it doesn't offer the as many options. I'll post the way I found too just as another option

First of all, does MTP not work for you? Secondly, Easy UMS should work as well -- what is the error you are getting?
No, it doesn't work at all... when I try to transfer a folder with the saves in it to either the internal or external sd card it says 'cannot copy "..." the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. And when I tried to use easy ums it's would do one of two things, either it would kinda work (I could browse my ext sd card but it only showed the folders, not the files in them) or it would say something like 'cannot detect sd card. Maybe busy box isn't installed.?' I know for a fact that busy box is installed I actually did that earlier today after rooting my S3 of course.. lol what should I do? Maybe I'm using the easy ums in an incorrect way?

Sorry chaps what is this app called?
I`m also having issues with my GT-I9300. I have tried SGS# easy UMS, but get message about "Device not rooted" I`m not familiar with rooting. Please can someone suggest how I go about doing this. I need to sync certain apps using mass USB.
I migrated to Android from windows mobile & not familiar with these syncing terms. I have managed to sync with Kies & Companion link software, but unable to sync with E Wallet.
Thanks

According to your signature you're in the wrong forum.
This is for the international i9300/i9300T
Easy UMS does not work on the kernels for the US-version since they don't include a necessary module.

No kernel for the US-versions I know of supports the s3c-gadget module, sorry.

You could use Wifi-based apps such as Samba Fileshare. It's easier to use since you don't actually have to plug the phone in the computer.

that sucks for them, easy UMS is pretty awesome
Yep. It's probably not that hard to implement but not being a kernel hackers myself I honestly don't know (I always need at least 2-3 attempts to even compile a configured/patched kernel right for my freaking servers... I'm wondering when the data center techniciens are gonna get annoyed at my requests for a KVM/IP every other day on the test server *g*)

Google say it can be done but phone since they using Exfat it means Samsung have to put some more effort into making it work, but Samsung decided they not gonna bother even though they have on other phones it is completely Samsung's fault.

That is not totally correct.Google stopped the external SD support and Samsung tried a workaround and can be done.
exfat is a supported conversion on our phone but not standard.
U can flash this to be able to move apps to SD. But u need to convert it to fat32
I was actually looking for a solution too. But its sad that I need to use fat32. I prefer ExFAT so that I can store high def movies on my External SD card. Hope theres a solution for those who use the ExFAT file system soon.
U r Big m8, i did what u said, just flashed the mod and now my memory card is showing as sd,not extsd, im very happy guy right now! Thanks for answer everybody!!!

Please kind sirs, please assist me...

I have flashed CWM correctly, I have done everything right. I have reset the phone many a time, and am not a stranger to ODIN. However, the Fascinate I'm working on WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ANY ICS zip! I know for a fact that it is not a bad zip, but when I try to flash it, (no matter build 1 or build 2) the phone says "E: Can't open /sdcard/<ICS package name here> (bad) Any responses are welcome! I have to return this phone by tomorrow, so I could REALLY use some help here! Thanks again!
EDIT: Just tried flashing the latest stable CM7.2, the exact same thing happened. Help is needed drastically.
Could be a number of things. it is recommended that a CLASS 6 or higher SD card be used. Also known problems with the USB cable. Try using different ones. Are you by chance following Droidstyles Guide ? Located in GENERAL section, it is known as THE GUIDE for our fascinate. Read it through and follow it to the letter.
Peace

to add on: you may need to format your sd card, but I wouldn't go that drastic yet. try what ice mentioned first
I am using the correct CWM, and I have tried using every guide I can find. (including the one you mentioned) I don't know how to check whether or not my SD is CLASS 6. I have not tried flashing the files from internal SD, however. I own 2 SDs and am not opposed to formatting one of them. The other is full of valuable data, but if necessary I can back it up.
Should say right on card what class. I'd try your other cards, or buy new.
And like Z said, it could very well be that needs to be formatted.

Try a jellybean ROM ICS hates SD cards

Well the SDs do not have a class number on them. One of them has a little 2 in a partial circle, does that mean anything? And I think you have to use ICS build 1 coming from GB.

It means your SD card is a class 2 ROFL. And no you don't have to go to ICS coming from jellybean that was used when jellybean first cane out you haven't had to do that since 4.1.2 so now it causes nothing bit problems just go straight to gb

Oh, great! Is there internal, mountable in CWM storage? I'm pretty sure the Fascinate has 2 GB of internal memory, and CWM fixed for CM7 doesn't seem to recognize any flashable ROM packages from external SDs. So could I use build.prop to switch internal and external SDs, then flash the ROM from there? Will that work?

Yeah, this isn't actually MY fascinate, it's my friend's. I just want to know if build.prop hacks could take effect outside of Android, and still do their desired effect in CWM. (For instance, switching internal and external SDs)

Also, after root and flashing of stock ROM through ODIN, the Fascinate has FCs on basically every app. (including google play services) It's VERy annoying. Any fixes? (besides reinstalling the app)

I goofed and put my backups on sd0card instead of extsdcard.
You too?
Nice! I just had them bu in the internal instead of external so I simply just moved them..? does the internal sd card get wiped when you wipe everything to go to new ROM bc if thats the case all twrp files should be on the external.. right?
