How is app storage space for your guys on GB ROM? Can you install the apps on external SD with a built in setting ? I know there are apps un market that can do this but just wanted to see if Samsung have a workaround for unbelievable 1GB internal mem and if GB makes it any better than earlier.
thanks

Device has 16GB.
2GB dedicated to internal (phone)
14GB is recognized by the system as "SDCARD"
any micro SD card you insert is refer to as "external_SD"
Thanks ,, but how can i make the internal to be more than 2 GB ?? cuz it will be full after one week i will install more programs

You cannot. The system is design that way.
New programs are usually installed on the SDCARD.
Some system programs are installed on the internal when it boots up.
If you go to /setting/application/manage and list all programs, you have a list of programs that all installed.
touching each program will show where they are stored. If you want to move them, you can move to internal(phone) or USB(SDcard/external).
Programs that are installed internal or phone will boot up first. The more you have, the longer boot time.
Some application manager from market will let you choose where the app is installed.
^^ thanks ,, now i got the idea
I have a P3110 with 8GB of internal memory but SAMSUNG leaves me with only 4.45GB of free space.
So I finally gave up on stock roms and decided to install the CM 10.1.2. My tab is now lightning fast!
The thing is I'm still left with 4.45GB of free storage space altough CM 10.1.2 is a lot smaller than sammy's stock rom.
My question is: now that I am using CM is there any way I can reclaim the other half of my 8GB that samsung stole from me? And most important: if possible how to undo it and return to stock settings?
Thanks in advance!
The internal SD card is one of the partitions of the Flash memory, others (like system,boot,cache) use the rest of it,so you must repartition to release these memory and combine it into the internal SD partition. But the repartition operation is VERY DANGEROUS! It maybe bricks your device. Use a bigger external SD card is a better solution..
just buy 32 gb sd card and foldermount application, which in some way does the work with some problems ofc...but at last it does! and you will have some free space of about 1.5 gb free after 200 apps and such installed in your tab....actually thats the best that can be achieved....these tabs are low price ones and supposed to be re-sold and changed by 2 years max time interval...so thats the solution from experience and the sour true about our tabs...
enjoy :silly:
Thanks guys
I have seen some apps claiming to swap the internal to the external storage. What are your thoughts on that? Has anyone tried it?

USB storage is for your personal files such as photos, videos, music, etc.
Meanwhile the 2 GB system storage is for your apps, including data and cache.
You could "move to SD card" in Settings > Applications to free up some space, but that will make your apps slightly slower (to load).
I don't know about repartitioning but that could be a possibility too.
Hi, im currently a new person that has just recently acquired a clone S5.
Its runnning a mtk 6582 and has 1.09gb of storage.
I am trying to figure out how i can combine my sd card- that is a removable one- storage of 16gb with this storage so i can download more apps and such and so i am not limited to just 1.09gb.
Also i am not a fan of touch wiz and would like to install a custom rom but am not sure how to do so with this clone s5. Help with that would also be very nice and appreciated.
My phone is rooted
Hello Sir, how much is your full phone memory(include phone storage,not only the internal storage) or it full memory just 1.09 GB?
I only know how to change phone storage to internal storage . But combine I don't know about it, sry.

the full storage is 1.09gb . I use a external 16gb card for other things as in music, but i want to be able to use this 16gb to install apk files, as in games and other useful apps.
I have the infuse which has a16gb ROM with 12gb internal SD and a 2gb data partition and a galaxy s5 with 16gb ROM which has 12gb storage space that is shared between apps and internal SD. I was wondering if there is a way to setup the infuse to work like the s5 does or at least switch the internal 12gb SD card with the 2gb app storage space. I need lots of room for apps and don't ever even use the internal SD card as I have a 32gb external card in the phone so there is like 12 megs total in use on the internal SD while app storage is completely full with hardly any apps installed. Just kind of seems like a waste to me. Thanks in advanced for any help you might be able to give

Not that easy. You would have to re-route (comment out) the line for /data/data in the fstab file on the boot.img ramdisk. If using stock ROM, then you have to make sure all that is signed the way Samsung wants it.
There are some later KK 4.4 ROM's that ignore the datadata partition (my signature has a link that will provide options) but if you have the AT&T model (v.s. Rogers) and still on FY 2.2 or GB 2.3, there does not seem to be an upgrade path anymore (patched bootloader to flash ICS+ is lost).
A simple solution is to get a MicroSD card, split up that MicroSD with a ext2 second partition, and then use Link2SD. Mind you, the apps on the external SD would be slower, but at least you can get more apps that what you could before.
Hope this helps.
I have cyanfox 4.4 kitkat installed on it already. I know there is ways to use external SD as ext4 partition, is there any way to do something like that with internal SD instead.

You may be able to figure out a solution with FolderMount (or one of the other options in the following SII thread):

Alternatively...
I am curious though, how are your wakelocks? Is your Infuse able to fall asleep? This can be determined by going into Settings > Battery > History Details, and checking the blue bar under "Awake". If it spans the width underneath that title (and the screen has been off for a portion of the uptime), then you have a GMS bug, and is common with most 2014 KK ROMs.
Not to sway you particularly - I compiled a build in 2015 that not only abandons /datadata, but also fixes the GMS bug:

May be worth it, even if only just looking at the post.
