Hi,
Recently I got a pre-owned Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) and I installed CM12.1-20161116-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1JN-i9100 on it. It has only 1.97GB of internal storage but 11.50GB of internal SD and I don't know how big is the internal storage when i got the phone with the stock ROM. Is there a way to repartition the built-in memory? I don't mind the risk or factory reset. p.s. I know how to use Link2SD, so please reply me another solution if your answer is Link2SD
Please point it out if i have any misunderstanding, and sorry for bad grammar.
Thanks

I have an Samsung Galaxy S2 handphone and I feel Samsung has got this right with the design of its internal storage.
For Transformer Prime, when we need to flash firmware or we send it for servicing, all the internal storage will be wiped out. Why is there a need to wipe out internal sdcard storage?
I'm trying to understand this and also because my Transformer Prime just died and I had to send it for repair. They said that they will have no choice but to wipe up all data to do testing. All my precious pictures and videos taken the day before are gone.
For SGS2, the internal sdcard storage is treated as an 'external storage'. When you flash firmware because of sudden crash in OS or anything like that, it doesn't touch the internal sdcard, much like residing in a seperate partition or hdd in a desktop.
Why then do asus has to wipe out the internal sdcard everytime they need to factory reset? Does it reconfigure the internal partition?
We never know when the OS will crash so sometimes, daily backups might also not be enough.
I may be wrong but can someone clarify?
Thanks in advance.

they will probably use nvflash/apx to recover it, thus all partitions will be wiped and rebuilt.
Advice for you: don't trust completely on one way of storage, always backup important stuff elsewhere.
Hi all, I recently brought a used samsung galaxy s2 (i9100) but the guy who had it before me has rooted the phone (clockwork recovery one) and he has installed ICS. Everything seems to work fine but the problem is when i go to the SETTINGS>STORAGE page i have 1.97gb internal storage and 4.11gb usb storage. so i have like 8 gig of the internal memory missing! how do i fix this? If i have to reflash the phone could you please also give me the links to download the files and a good walkthrough. I live in the UK so if possible could i have an unbranded uk copy of ICS. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Also there are 2 apps installed... SuperSU and CWM
Hello everyone im new here...
I have been at it for hours, and i have finally managed to root my tablet. Its a samsung galaxy tab 3.7.0 wifi only with 8GB of internal storage, most of which is taken up by system memory. Its model is the SM-T210. I have a few questions and i would be very grateful if you could answer them...
1) How can i move apps to my sd card?its a 16gb sandisk...i have already tried folder mount, apps 2 sd and APPMGR 111, but they are either not compatible for my device or dont work/let me install them?
2)ive rooted my tablet...now what do you reccommend i do?
Thanks everyone, in advance.
1) Give Link2SD a try, it sounds like the closest to what you want. Make sure you read its FAQ, it's not a one click solution and you'll need to setup your SD card first.
2) Why did you root if you don't know what to do?
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers :good:

You can always use scripts to increase the memory like CronMod Unofficial. But the problem with scripts is that it lags after you install some apps. This is because your ext partition is mounted as the /data mount point and SD Card read /write operations are slower than internal memory read/ write operations. So I suggest you use Link2SD Extreme which lags less compared to other scripts. Link2SD places the app link locations in the internal memory and corresponding data in the ext partition. Since the links are in the internal memory, it will be much faster. All you need is a rooted phone, rom with init.d support (all custom roms have one) and ext partition on SD Card (Go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (1GB)> Swap(0MB) wait for "Partitioning Done!" message). Make sure to do the setup right. If you created the ext partition using CWM, choose ext3 as the partition type from Link2SD pop-up. Only if that doesn't work go with ext2 or then ext4. Here is the link,
Link2SD Extreme
Try to implement this is a newly flashed rom with newly created ext partition. Hope I Helped
Hi, this is probably a noob question but anyway. So i installed a custom rom in my phone when i noticed that the storage space was low, i searched through many forums and couldn't find anithyng related, only an app that shows the complete space of all of the partitions called DiskInfo, it shows an unmounted partition called fat and the only way to access to it is connecting the device to a pc in usb mass storage mode in TWRP. is there any way to mount it or make it usable for the phone?.
When i access to settings and storage only shows the internal storage and nothing else. Can't attach images because new user sorry.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english.

INCREASE YOUR ANDROID INTERNAL MEMORY || BY MOUNTS2SD (BEST WAY) in androcustomroms. Google it. It worked for my ZTE Blade L3 4.4.2 stock rom. Try it. Link2sd did't work for me.
EDIT: if you still can't, use Apps2sd. It works better for me.
