So bassically that's my Q? Could it be a hidden MicroSD card or a NAND flash chip inside this babe? Some one brave enough that had disassembled it has ever noticed this??? If its a MicroSD maybe it can be upgradable like in the HD7 and if its a NAND maybe its better to move apps to it bec of the Read/write speed....
I read in a different thread that someone had taken it apart and there was no internal SD, FWIW.

I don't want to sound like an idiot here... but..
Since the HTC Magic/MyTouch ... whatever else name it got... has 512MB ROM, can we stop doing app's to SD, it REALLY slows down the phone more than it's helping.. (Apps to SD was needed for G1, cause it only has 256MB ROM).
Also, If using the swapper method, could we stick the swap file on internal ROM, and not the SD, this way we don't get "damaged SD card" messages when mounting/unmounting. And yea... linux-swap.. same thing.. I don't think SD card is as fast as internal ROM space.
Anyone agree?.... don't flame, just making a suggestion ^^;
Btw, I'm using ehrm...that Fatality one...
Thanks!!
Good suggestion, why use the Sdcard when the internal memory on the Magic is fairly large and could easily handle a swap partition.

Apps, yes, maybe.
Swap - no way. If you over-use the internal NAND past its read/write cycles and kill it, it's not as if you can swap it out like an SD card.
Hello,
My GF has a g2x and I am attempting to put CM7 on it. I have installed CWM but found that it will not make backups as I dont have a microSD card installed. Is it possible to make backups/save ROMs ect to the internal memory? I dont have any extra microSD cards and every single store in my city is sold out of the small (cheap ) cards. Id hate to buy a 32GB card just to put backups and CM7 on considering the phone has such a large internal memory.
EDIT:Mods, is it possible to add a title? I cannot believe I left off the title...:-(
Thanks guys!

Select the 4.0 version of the One-Click NvFlasher found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
The newest version lets you flash from internal and external, but you can only backup to external. The internal version of 4.0 doesn't let you backup of flash to a microSD but should let you backup and flash from the internal memory.
Hope this helps
Hi all and thanks for reading.
I successfully unlocked and rooted my HTC Status/ChaCha (S-ON) yesterday using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452173
I'm glad I found this site because I was about to pay someone to do it. I literally just bought this phone a few days ago from eBay and sold my BlackBerry. All in all, I love it but just dislike the fact that we have to go through these steps just to make it capable of holding a few apps.
I just found out that I need to enable a2sd in order to use App2SD but first I need to partition my SD card. I currently have a 2gb sd card in my phone but don't have a card reader. So I ordered a new 8gb sd card along with the reader so I can continue with the process. My question is how do I go about installing the new sd card since the rooting and unlocking was done using my 2gb sd card? I already found the tutorial to partition the card using Mini Tool.
Please bear with me and I'm sorry if my question irritates anybody. I'm just new and ignorant when it comes to Android. I've read dozens of threads and many of them might as well be in Chinese lol.
TIA!
Just partition your new card, then copy the contents of the 2Gb card over to the main partition of the 8Gb card.
The rooting/unlocking is held within the system partition (or another internal partition) which is held within the handset, so switching out the memory card won't affect it.

Thank you so much for answering my question! I appreciate it! Cheers.
Question: I have been trying to figure this out. When I first went to CM7 I didn't know about the SD and EMMC memory ordeal and just continued as normal. So after a while my SD was showing full and EMMC was barely used.
However... I shortly noticed that I was running low on SD space. NOTE: I swapped the 2GB microSD card for a 32GB microSD. Which prompted me to look deeper at what storage was what? I then found out about the switch in CM7 to use microSD as SD and internal as EMMC. Thus allowing me to use the 32GB microSD as the SD in CM7. Now here is the problem some apps had been moved to prior swapping EMMC/SD (now EMMC), now show up on EMMC but the icon is not correct and when I try to run it says it is not installed.
So if one can move apps from phone to SD, has anyone made an app to move from EMMC to SD? If not I could see people being interested in it. Unless there is an easy way to fix it I may have to get a list of bad app icons and re-install. Then figure out what to do with the EMMC stranded app files. My guess is if the system does not know its installed but the files are there it would just be wasting storage.
How should this EMMC be used?
Thanks for your help!
Ok here is how I fixed it. I changed setting back to us internal as SD. Moved missing apps (the ones that gave an error "Application is not installed on your phone." prior to me changing the setting) from internal SD to phone. Then I changed the setting back rebooted and moved apps back to the SD card.

I'm not a developer by any stretch of the imagination, but this Linux cell phone has ignited my inner geek, and I must bend it to my will.
My basic question is, with the current state of development, how much is it possible to move from the internal storage of an LG Optimus Fuel phone (L34C/KitKat) and onto the external SD card?
I blow stuff up a lot because I'm an inveterate tinkerer, too adventurous for my own good/skill level. I'm an Android noob, but an old hand at Linux, which means I think I know a lot more about what I'm doing with KitKat than I actually do. But at least I do have a fetish for backups, which is all that makes my misadventures endurable.
So I did a Nandroid backup on my L34C after modding it only enough to support the TWRP backup. But the phone's internal storage is puny, and TWRP manager will only write to the internal SD, so I could only install about 300MB more in apps before there no longer was enough space for another Nandroid backup. Which means I've either got to tone down my tweaking (figure the odds!) or find another way to do Nandroids.
Yes, I could do an initial Nandroid, followed by Titanium backups, but where's the fun in that? Same with doing online Nandroid backups. No self-respecting geek every would let someone else be in charge of maintaining his backups (IMHO). And bonus points if I can relieve internal SD overcrowding by installing/moving apps and whatnot to the external storage.
So I'm thinking this is going to require linking, but the OE FAT32 partition on the external SD card won't support it. The OE 4GB SD card was too small to be slicing up, so I bought a 16GB cat4 SD card, formatted half in FAT32 and half in Ext3, but I could never get the Ext3 partition to mount. I wasn't able to find anything definitive, but I did come across information (of unknown validity) that the L34C's lack of init.d support was the reason it wouldn't mount.
So is this true? If I install a kernel with init.d support in my L34C, will I then be able to mount additional partition(s) on the external SD card?
As for the specifics of the partitioning, I found one mention in another forum in a post dated almost three years ago stating partitions on an Android external SD card had to be no more than 2GB in size, and preferably only 1GB. Is this true? Does it still pertain to KitKat? And what is/was the cause of this partition size limitation?
If the 2GB limit is true, what about creating and mounting multiple 2GB partitions? Say, one exclusively for writing the Nandroid backup to, and a second for moving files out of internal storage?
And what of my overall objective? In the current state of development, is writing Nandroid backups to the external SD card of an L34C (or even better, to the USB) known to be possible? Or im-possible?
If not, and presuming I can manage to get an Ext-formatted partition on the external SD card to mount, which of the many <something>2SD apps should I look to to move as much material as possible off of the internals storage?
I did try installing Link2SD, even though there wasn't an external partition available that supported linking. When I tried to move an app with it, one that Link2SD itself had labeled 'movable,' it failed with:
!Failure
App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to the SD card.

Dunno why it's blaming Apps2SD unless Link2 is built around Apps2.
But the advice was no help because I can't link to a partition that won't mount. And for all I know, the fact that the L34C uses emulated storage might be a show-stopper.
I've asked these same questions at other Android forums, but got no answers. I initially didn't want to even join XDA because you guys are too far above my pay grade. But I don't think I have any other choice, not if I ever want to get to the bottom of this.
Thank you for taking the time to red my long-winded post.
Hi there,
What you may wish to do is transfer them to your pc for safe keeping and not have to worry about it. You could also try inserting your sd card into your PC and manually transferring the nandroids from your pc to your sd card afterwards.
Also regards to the sd card write protection issue, I could not find anything relevant for your device in particular but you can ask your question here and someone may be able to help you.
Good luck
