I believe I used to have the option to format an SD as internal storage but can't find it now.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm using One UI 4.1.1 on Android 12
That is because you have to do it from the Samsung My Files app.

Before when I move the installed apps using ap2sd or appmonster by default it used to move to the internal USB Storage(11GB) of Galaxy S2. I recently did a wipe re-flash of ROM and after that when I move the installed apps- by default its going to the external SD card I have installed which is 8GB. Now the internal storage is not used at all. Is there anyway I can fix this issue without going for another reflash? Any help is highly appreciated!

Goto Setting > Manage Applications > On SD Card Tab >Select the application you want to move and then move it to phone Internal Memory.
Hope this helps!

Nope it doesn't... That's exactly what the problem is... Unable to move apps to the internal USB (SD) memory... It looks for an external SD card instead and gives an error...

I think I'm having the same problem.
Only noticed it this morning when I tried to download a new app (existing update fine) and it failed, stating that it was unable to save to USB storage. I also can't mount USB storage in CWM recovery mode.
Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Well it appears that my internal storage is knackered.
Booted into CWM and tried to 'mount USB storage', but am greeted with 'E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
If factory reset and flashing a stock ROM is necessary, then I can do that. But, if the storage is inaccessible, am I even able to do that? Would opting to 'Erase USB Storage' in the settings>storage menu be of any use?
sameproblem here...
ok i solved the problem...
i write an Answer Threat
I had something similar when I installed a ROM with an older CWM. I lost my SD card but could access it from the PC. I copied a backup over to the internal memory and recovered.
how about just unmount the external SD card then try to install again?
Unable to move apps to internal usb storage
I am also facing the same issue.Somebody plz let me know any workaround for moving apps to Internal USB storage. Under settings>application manager> there is an option to move apps to external sd card only. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage (around 11.5 GB). Please help.
Phone - Galaxy s2 (At&t sgh i777)
ROM - Shostock3 rom (android 4.1.2)
I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

hi guys,
So i got the 16 GB Note. However, i dont understand where all the apps are being saved.
when i go into storage it shows usb storage total 10.84 GB and available 9.51
and then system storage now shows 1.37 GB
what is system storage? and why is USB storage only showing 10.84gb
when i go into the applications > manage applications - it lists all the apps and below it shows system storage 588mb used and 1.4GB free
someone can correct me but I believe apps are probably being loaded into system storage via default and the related application data such as music/photos/etc on the usb storage.
The NOTE is sold as having 16GB internal memory which is made up of 2GB system memory (some call it phone memory) and USB Storage (/sdcard) of about 11GB. What is using the other 3GB left of the 16GB??? Don't really know but probably data w/the preloaded apps?
how can i check if thats the case?
or how can i change that?
the system storage is very limited.
I see system apps in system/data/apps......now in sd card there is a extension with the da_g kernel I noticed...where when pluged in...all recovery backups go to into a folder named clockwork...and I see a download folder where my new downloads are going...so I have 2 folders now of clockwork and dcim and download.....but the sd is through a folder named external sd ...its almost like its backwards.....messed up I know....

actually the system storage of 2GB is more than enough as it is just used to store the applications themselves.
Hello
I have a galaxy s2 and i wonder what is the difference between internal storage and internal SD card.
In the internal storage i see only apps are installed
and in the internal SD card i have only music photos and others.
it already happened to me that i tried to download an app from the google play and i did not have enough space
is there a way to move my apps from Internal storage to Internal SD card?
(i do not have an external sd card) and if you dont understand what i mean i can upload a screenshot.
thank you
Hello,
Yes, internal storage (or system storage in my phone) is where all the apps are installed.
And internal SD card (known better as internal storage) is where photos, videos etc etc are stored.
This is the only thing i know..
About the moving of apps, i recommend you go to settings -> applications and to the app you want to move and check if you actually can move it. (yes, there's an option to move that app to Sd card) My gues it wont since you need an external storage (or known as SD CARD) if you want to move apps.
If you can't install apps from google play, there are mostly two explanations:
1. Actually insufficient storage. To prevent this, free up memory from system storage by deleting apps/games etc.
2. .odex file causes the erroe. To prevent this, (you need to be rooted) goto /data/app in file manager and find <The app you want to install from google play>.odex
Eg. for second alternative.
If you want to install Swiftkey but get an error. Goto /data/app and delete swiftkey.odex
Internal storage, different names

There the same thing. You can verify by checking the size of the two & the contents to see if they show the same thing.
It would be helpful to know what version of Android your running since this affects how things are displayed.
To find that information open press the menu or home button (bottom left),
Settings
at the very bottom is "About Device"
Look for Android Version
Within most versions of Android (I have 4.1.2 in front of me) what is called "sdcard" or "internal storage" or "internal sdcard" is actually a partition of the device's total internal storage. Unless you are flashing ROMs or running root, you won't see these other paritions.
The internal storage or sdcard is also called sdcard0 or /storage/sdcard0 depending on your version of Android.
The physical sdcard (external storage) is sometimes called /emmc or /extSdCard In later versions you can also get to it as /storage/sdcard1
Hope that helps

i am running android 4.0.4
and i understand that i cant move apps to there..
i will just buy an external SD card
you helped me alot
Thanks everybody!!
Is there something I'm missing? I installed the NAB version of this rom and I can't figure out the situation with the internal storage. I did a clean install by wipping and re-formatting the sd card. For some reason the internal storage is unusable. I can't move or download anything to it. I've had android 4.4 on my phone before in the version of CyanogenMod but never had this problem. Are the file systems that different between Touch Wiz and ASOP? When I look in the file system it looks like i have two internal storage drives. One is /sdcard and the other is called emulated/legacy. Is there a way to correct this?
