Hi, I'm aware the one x will not have a micro Sd card slot and was wondering how this will work as I've been very dependent on the Sd card in my phone.
Will all the folders that are on your Sd card move in with the system folders?
When I connect via USB into the computer will it pull up all folders or only specific folders if I use it as a storage system?
Is the At&t version only coming with 16 gb space or is there a 32 gb version also?
Lastly, how much memory will actually be available? I've heard only about 12 gb if you have the 16 gb variant.
Would be a great help if anyone could answer.
My life is cool...

The internal storage is divided up in two partitions, a few GB for the system and the rest for storage. So when you connect your phone as a disk drive, it will appear just like any phone with an SD card would.
The LTE model only comes in a 16GB capacity.
My One X has 2.21 GB for the system and 9.93 GB for storage (total of 12.14 GB).

I'm wondering if this feature in ROM Manager is useful for our phones, since we have like 6 GB of internal memory, and more external space available.
I just bought a 32 GB Class 10 SD Card, and it seems with CM7 that I can already install Apps directly to the SD card, so is this even needed? Any sort of benefit at all to partitioning my SD Card from ROM manager? Any RAM benefits I can do with 32 GB?
Thanks...
Hello,
i use the HTC Saga with cyanogenmod 10.2 and a 64 gb sd card. i formated the card with fat32. The phone recognizes the 64 GB and everything seems to be fine. this is my problem:
1. copy my music collection to sd card. Windows pc displays some 50 GB used, 10 GB free.
2. Put sd card in phone. phone displays only one folder with music, the other folders are empty.
3. connect sd card to computer. only the folder, which contains musikc according to the phone actually contains music. the rest of the folders are empty - sd card has only 10 GB free memory. so the sd card is full but the folders are displayed empty?!
What seems to be the problem? cyanogenmod? Android? Media scan? Sd Card? How can i solve this?
Maybe a problem with using a 64 gig card? I'm sure the DS was specced for 32 gig maximum, but an mobile at the moment so can't check.
Trying to format 64GB with FAT32 is the problem. AFAIK it's not expected to work, and you're going to get funny behavior.
When I check the storage options, it shows System Storage, Memory Card, and External Storage. I have a 16 GB micro SD and I want to move my apps and app data to my SD card but can't figure out the difference between Memory Card and External Storage.
Does anyone know what the two types of storage mean? Which one is my actual SD Card?
Thanks!

You need to say what version of Android you are on and what company your stylo came from sprint/ tmobile/ etc

I don't have tmobile, but I'm going to answer and any tmobiles out there can correct me if I'm wrong. External is actually your phone's left over internal ram and memory card is your sd card.

I'd wager that System Storage is the /system partition. Memory Card would be internal storage, and External Storage is your removable sdcard.
Also, you should move your apps to your sdcard in Settings > Storage & USB or setup adoptable storage.
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

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!
OK, I don't know the proper terminology but hopefully you can follow my description below.
Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge (SM-J327P Boost Mobile) Phone
Android v6.0.1
Unmodified, unrooted because no one knows how to root this phone.
Phone has (had) 16GB SD Memory card installed. 8GB is "partitioned" as "Fake Internal Memory", 8GB as "USB Storage Memory". I used up the 8GB Fake Internal Memory. I bought a 32GB SD Card (came preformatted as one 32FAT partition with 64K sector clusters!). I unmounted the 16GB SD Card made copy of the contents to the new 32GB SD Card. Installed the new 32GB SD Card into the phone. Turned the phone on and it worked fine. All the apps stored in Fake Internal Memory work as well as the files on the USB Storage Memory. However the Fake Internal Memory was only 8GB, the same size as it was on the 16GB SD Card! The USB Storage Memory had increased from 8GB to 24GB. The whole reason I got the 32GB SD Card was to increase the size of the Fake Internal Memory not the USB Storage Memory.
So my question is: Is there anyway to increase the size (partition?) of the Fake Internal Memory by stealing some from the USB Storage Memory? Remember the phone can't be rooted.
Note: I removed the working 32GB SD Card (tried both mounted and unmounted) from the phone and put in the computer's USB port but the entire SD Card was one 32FAT partition. So the partition programs I have on the computer wouldn't work on it. Apparently the .android_secure file contains the Fake Internal Memory apps and are not stored in it's own partition.

If it's got 2 partitions on it then any decent partitioning tool should be able to recognise and expand/reduce the size of the partitions.
It's irrelevant what files are stored where as the partitioning program is dealing with blocks of memory not files.
Mini partition tool should be able to deal with this or something like paragon partition manager or Easus partition master.
I don't know how to fix it but here is a root guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-painless-root-samsung-j3-emerge-t3573551
