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.

Hello Everyone,
It will be nice to get help from users who understand better than me the Android system.
I come from iOS, and bought 1 week ago Star Note(2?) N9776 MTk... jelly Bean Android phone.
The mobile is fun to use but, as i install some applications from the GStore,
I am also learning the functions but don't understand exactly :
The system says i have :
Internal storage (500MB)
SD card (16GB)
And Telephone storage (1.80GB) completely empty
Problem is that it is just impossible to use my apps or install some like facebook, games...
all the softs install on the internal storage ... . Why ?
Is the internal storage also the RAM used by the system ?
Why cannot i use the Telephone storage for the system and the apps ?
Why is the phone storage empty ?
If the internal memory is the RAM used by the system, why isn't it possible to use the phone properly because it is shared why the apps ?
I use now the SD memeory for the apps, but the internal storage is constantly uesd and saturated.
The system and telephone is really slow, i am asking myself if the internal storage is same as the RAM used
To run the system properly.
It is not possible to use the phone at this condition, i can't even add applocations, and the system pops me up alerts
About full storage and funstions desactivated.
Is there a way to fix this ? Put the system on the phone storage ?
Have a complete freedom of the ram, just for the system use ?
If i take back the factory datas from the system, will i have the ability to choose the right memory ?
It is not clear to me, so if you come near this post, please give me a hand about it, it is hard to understand the memory problem
From an iPhone user like me.
Thank you
I have the same phone and that has become an annoyance to me too. The supposedly 4gb in the phone the manufacture partitioned in half to be used as app data. The phone is now left with 2gb for the system and apps. So unless you are one of the only people in the world without an sd card, the phone storage is completely useless and have to install or move all your apps to sd card to gain space on the system partition.
So i had serious memory issues, like out of my 8gb 5.2gb was used for system data and 1gb for the default apps so i barely had room for ads , so i bought an 16gb sd card but i couldn't move all of the apps i barely could do anything on them(i dont really take photos/videos so they didn't take more than 10mb maybe). I didn't even have space to get the marshmallow update but i did some reading an apparently in the update i could adopt my sd card as internal storage and the only con was like slower speed but i don't really care for that myself. so i did a factory reset i updated to marshmallow erased my sd card memory before factory-resetting and when i finally opened the phone with 6.0 installed and went to my storage options and in sd settings all there is is eject and format, not format as internal storage, help??? also excuse me for horrible grammar/punctuation.
Right now after resetting i already have 6.2gb used out of 8gb and i didn't install one single app its all just after resetting.

Not all Marshmallow firmwares / phones offer this capability. You should be able to force it from following this:

On my previous ROM I had the SD card as part of the internal storage so it was all one big storage. Phone had 64gb and SD card is 128 so I had nearly 200gb
I upgrade the ROM by clearing the system, cache, dalvik etc as standard. Once upgrade it seems to only detect the SD card storage.
My settings show available 31gb out of total 128gb.
The phone system storage is at 74gb
But it's a fresh upgrade with hardly anything installed yet . Why is the system storage at 74gb?
This is on revolution os miuo 11
anyone have any ideas on this? at first i thought it may not be seeing the sd card, but i removed it from the phone and powered the phone on and it detects the sd card is missing and i dont see some apps..
Its frustrating as i dont see what is taking 74gb of my storage up. it is a relatively new install rom so it doesnt have loads of data or apps...
