Hey guys i am using razodroid v2.0 om my fit....does anyone know how to increase internal memory because i m having lot of problems and my internal memory is almost full....i searched for some posts but all i got was for galaxy mini...can anyone provide me a proper link pls

make an ext4 partition on your sd card. about (200MB)
run App2SD GUI
Shift dalvik cache to sd-ext.
you get about 150MB internal memory
use memory hack for more space.

Enter Recovery Mode by holding POWER + HOME;
With the Volume Down key (-) and High Volume (+) and navigate to the HOME key Select "advanced";
Select "partition SD Card"
In the next window you should choose the partition size.
If you have a 2GB card to advise you put 512mb 1024mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 2048mb.
And finally select the size of the swap partition for extra memory.
If you have an urge to put 2gb card 128mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 256mb.
enter the Market and install the program Links2SD
to open the program you should choose ext3 and press ok> then superuser permission> and after that restart your phone.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program.
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.
Return to initial screen of the program, press the Options button to display the sub-menu and then click multiple selection, press the shutter button and select options select all, press again press the options button and click Actions, and click Create link. Press OK to start, and all your applications ready to go to memory that was created ext3.
Now we will install and configure the Swapper. Lower application, install the application by the Market, after check the Active on Boot Swap on Swap File Position sure "EXT Partition SD Card" in "Swap File Size" set a value as the size of the partition created in ext, I suggest that is a partition of 1024 put 250 if a partition of 2048 put 512 of superuser permissions and restart the phone.

works great

will i lose my data or i'll have to format my sd card ?

Yeah... The SD card will be formatted.

SD Partion Help?

I'm don't have much knowledge in Ext4 and partitioning my SD but I read a thread and know what it does and what the benifits are. But I have a problem with it. Firstly making the sd-ext. When I did this last night within CWM and when I rebooted my device my SD had been erased. That was a rough loss with a 16gb SD. Now in my settings it says my SD is a FBI short of storage but my internal has not changed. I tried to use Mount2SD to install a script to make internal storage increase. But it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong to not be able to use the benifits of ext4. I'm running Valhalla Black Edition, with Lightning Zap tweak. I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue. If I can't get the benifits I would atleast like to be able to remove the sd-ext partion. I tried that as well with CWM format sdcard

Install link2sd into phone. From playstore
Download mini partition tool to your pc.
Back up sd card to pc using a card reader.
Open mini partition tool.
Remember: NOTHING IS CHANGED LOST OR MADE UNTIL YOU PRESS "APPLY" AT TOP LEFT.
Carefully select your sd card. If you so this wrong you could wipe/crash c: drive. It is probably F : or G :
On the left side of the partition tool select "delete all partitions" from operations. This wipes everything on sd card!
Next select "create partition". Name it if you want. Make this a Primary and Fat32
Now decrease size of allocated space with arrows, making the unallocated space about 1gig. It can be less or more, but between 500mb and 2gigs is best.
Next select the unallocated partitition you made when you made the Primary allocated partition. Once it is selected, press "create partition" again from the left.
You don't have to name it, but you can. Now make this unallocated partition a Primary Ext2 partition. Note: you can select any of the options, ext 2 or 4 or 3 or even fat32. Ext 2 worked best for me, as far as everything functioning and seeing the storage on phone. (Windows won't see more than one primary partition in Start/Computer but it will be there.)
If you think it is all correct, press "apply" at top left.
You did it!
Safely remove your sd from reader...you should press eject/safely remove from f: in start/computer
Replace sd in phone and boot up. Wait until your sd card is all mounted and prepared...you will see it cycle a few times at top of screen.
Open link2sd. Select the type of partition. Mine was ext 2.
Reboot after it says mount script created.
Open Link2sd... You should select auto link.
See the memory you added in "storage info".
The system memory a will appear unchanged, but you will see the new partition increase as you add more apps to sd card. I don' t recommend moving system apps.

[TUT] [NOOB FRIENDLY] The Ultimate Guide to Link2SD

Android being an open source OS, offers limitless possibilities of optimization and customization as per your requirements. But, half the charm of an Android phone lies in the root-based apps, beautiful mods and patches, and custom ROMs. If you have not rooted your phone yet, believe me you are not getting the most out of it. Rooting offers many advantages indeed but, at the same time it is also a little risky as it breaks into the wall of security build by the operating system.
According to a survey, 80% of Android phone users live happy with an unrooted device and the reasons for this are various- some people think of it as a sort of criminal activity, some are afraid of losing warranty, some are afraid of bricking their phone, while most people do not even know about the existence of a term like “rooting”.
Most people root their phones to get rid of pre installed bloats and gapps which they don't need at all ! ! But why??
They just wanna have more free internal storage. Many of the android users haven't heard of Link2SD ! So, I am here to tell you everything about this awesome app.
Android is one of the most used and popular operating system for the mobile.Day by day several new apps are getting available for the android devices, but your limited internal memory restricts it to the certain limit.Old Android phones have internal memory around 200 to 300 MB (Mega Bytes) unlike the latest one which have in few GB (Giga Bytes). Due to this limited memory, you cannot install more apps. This problem can be overcome by increasing internal memory of your mobile. This is absolutely true that no way to increase internal storage size of your phones, but you can allocate some part of your memory card for your phone to install applications.
This app will help you to link some part of your external SD card storage(whatever amount you want, no restrictions) to the internal storage of your phone. Apps and Games will be linked to that external SD card storage helping you to protect your internal storage from being used.
Believe me, I use Moto E which comes with 2.2 GB user available internal storage. I have 32 GB external SD card and I have linked 20 GB of it to my internal storage.
Now, I have 242 apps n games installed and still have 1.8 GB internal storage free. Apps like app2SD, appmgr have certain limitations as they move only some part of application files only whereas Link2SD links everything (app, cache, data) allowing you to install a large number of apps and games even if your phone have lesser internal storage. Isn't it cool ? ?
It is cool but to be able to use Link2SD you will have to do some steps. Many people don't know what to do after installing this app and that's why they complain it as an useless app. But believe me, it is a great app
Enough talking, let get to work ! !
Pre-Requisites:
1. Phone should be rooted. There are many methods available to root your phone.
2. You need a windows Pc and a card reader.
3. You must take a backup of your memory card on your computer as all the data will be deleted during this process.
4. Download and install Partition Tool to your computer. The link is
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
5. Downloaded Link2SD app from Google play store. You will get it easily.
Steps:
1. Take backup of your memory card on your computer.
2. Remove your SD card from your Mobile and insert it in your computer using card reader for making partition. Never use USB cable for this.
3. Download and install Partition Tool from the above link. Run this partition tool and select MiniTool Partition Wizard.
4. You will see the different drives and disks of your pc. Identify your memory card, right click on it and select delete. It will delete the entire contents of your memory card.
5. Now, you will see your memory card showing unallocated space. Now, right click on your memory card and select create.
6. Select primary in it. If your card storage is more than 2 GB, then select FAT32 file system otherwise select FAT file system.
7. Enter the amount of space which you don't want to link with internal storage. You can use this space for storing music, videos and other files. Your pc and mobile will recognise this space only as your external storage. So, choose wisely. I had 32 GB memory card(29.4 user available). I wanted to link 20 GB to my internal storage. So, I entered the remaining 9.4 GB in partition size.
8. After entering the partition size, click OK. Now, you will see the remaining space as unallocated. Right click on it and select Create. Create as primary and ext2 file system, select the remaining size. This size will be linked to the internal storage. Click OK.
You must select primary in both the partitions.
9. Now, click on the apply button on left corner menu. It will take sometimes to create partition. You will get a message showing that the partition is successful.
10. Now, copy your backup data to your memory card and take out your memory card from card reader and insert it in your phone.
11. Start your phone. Download link2sd app from Play Store. Install it and open. It will ask you to grant root permission, grant it. On opening, you will see a tab asking you to select the file system of your second partition, choose ext2. If you do not get the tab, then in Link2SD app, go to menu and click on RECREATE MOUNT SCRIPTS and select the file system of your second partition, choose ext2.
12. Now, it will ask you to reboot, select OK. If you have done 2 partition of your card and both as primary. Then, it will link the ext2 partition to your internal storage.
13. After reboot, open Link2SD app. You will see a funnel type icon, click on it and choose internal. It will show the apps which are stored in internal memory of your phone. Click on the option key and select "multi-select", press select all option. All the apps will be selected.
14. Then click on option key, choose option and select "create link" and select all options.
15. If you will pay 2$ for Link2SD plus app, then you will have the option of linking app data. Otherwise, choose the first three options.
16. Link2SD will link all these apps to the secondary partition of your SD card and your internal storage will be increased. That is it.
Note: You can use Link2SD app to uninstall pre-installed apps, move apps to SD card. You should select AUTO LINK option in settings, it will automatically link new apps to SD card. You can select INSTALL LOCATION. I must say, you should pay 2$ for Link2SD plus. It will link all app data to ext2.
Don’t be shy and leave any questions.
Thank You. Have a smiling Day
Hit thanks, if helped :good:

Titanium backup and Airdroid can't write my Micro SD Card, how do I allow that?

I tried Titanium backup today and it can't write my Micro SD Card, how do I allow that? Also Airdroid can't write to the Micro SD card as well, I tried their instruction but it didn't work (it open up the default file manager app and it didn't seems to show what the app said...

could it be that while introducing the sd card into ur system, android encrypted the storage? try and completely format the sd card, see if that helps remove the encryption... (beware, that might take a while, so just let it sit there for an hour or so if it seems to be "stuck")

after opening the stock file manager , u have to go to settings and select show advanced storage (don't know if it's the correct name in english) go out of settings and u will see selection on the left side. select ur sd card and then choose "select all" titanium backup isn't working for me on ext card, the same with spotify. it works only if stock file manager is opening at writing access from the app u want to use with ext card

I don't think so because I simply put my Micro SD card from S4 into Mate 8 and it see the card and it's contents normally right away.

Hmmm, I somehow managed to make AirDroid work... By choosing the select all button at the bottom of the stock file manager after selecting the external card (not in the settings).

hm ok, well its was just an idea anyways

I got it working.
Going to Setting -> Preferences -> Backup folder location -> Storage provider (click to change) (the white text just below the grey "Browse to the path your backups will be stored..." paragraph) -> Then choose the DocumentProvider storage and then choose your location again. TB prompt if I want to move backup from old folder, I said yes even though it was the same folder. It took only a few seconds.
Now I can back up in my Micro SD .

Were you able to find a similar setting for Move to SD? I don't even have that option available to me in TiBu.
