Hello i have an 8 gb tablet but 504mb of it is internal storage and 5.86 gb is nand flash and i want to join them becasue i also have 32gb of sd card.

It has got root and is running android 4.0.3
Hi
I installed this rom on my Zte Grand X V970
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42169694
and also installed
disabled_internal_memory.zip
thinking that this would merge the rom memory with my 2GB internal memory
Now if go to to settings, storage I only have rom memory (512mb) and SD card available, where before I had ROM 512 + Internal 2048 and SD
Is that suppose to be that way? Why would I want to remove internal storage?? How can I go back???
Cheers
Ok
I managed to get my internal space and now I have 2.5GB of internal memory for apps! Super Sweet :victory:
hi friends
I have a mk808b device with JB 4.2.2 Official - Finless ROM 2.1 rom
I'm going to download large files (bigger than 4GB) but FAT32 only support under 4GB
I changed sd card format to EXT3 with MiniTool Partition Wizard Free but device doesn't recognize sd card
is there a way to add file bigger than 4GB to sd?
thanks in advanced
Maybe try exFAT or NTFS. Almost all devices should be able to read those file systems.
Just like the title states, i need to learn how I can upgrade my sdcard from 32 GB (used as memory expansion) to 128 GB also to be used as extra storage. And not removable media. Is there a way to copy the contents of my sdcard from one to the other? Thanks in advance.
I am a Linux power user, so I am used to deal with Linux / Unix partitions, BUT Android partitioning scheme has always been a huge WTF to me, even if I resized partition of many Android phones with the lovely XDA guides.
Okay, let's start with what is easy to understand. Here you can read a good explanation of Android partitions
/boot
/system
/recovery
/data
/cache
/misc
Let's take as examply my Samsung Galaxy S5: it is selled in two versions 16 GB and 32 GB internal storage. Mine is 16 GB
I installed CyanogenMOD 13 on it, I installed a 128 GB micro SD card and I formatted it as internal storage (Andoird >= 6 feature).
Android >= 6 internal storage has been projected to expand the applications memory too
So I expected the phone to see the 128 GB micro SD card as the only memory storage. But it is not actually.
At the following URL https://s27.postimg.org/rmc4muymr/Android.jpg you can see the phone using two different storages:
Internal memory 11,59 GB
SD Sand Disk card 119 GB
I cannot understand why Android is still using the internal memory of the phone, even if it is actually using the SD card too (as I can see checking the size of /Android folder on the SD card).
Could you please help me understanding "the magic" behind Android storage paradigm?
Thank you

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With that feature, apps that can be installed on "External" storage, will be installed there by default, same with pictures and videos, you now have the option to move apps AND its data (Unlike before in 5.x)
The phone will treat the SD card as internal storage (Only because of the way the SD is formatted) however, being that SD Cards are slow in design, Android will not classify it as "Actual" internal storage.
I hope this information helps you out!
