[Q] to increase internal memory using micro sd card

Hi guys , I have been using this handset since october, i have tried all roms till date and other tweaks , one thing i still couldnt get it is how to increase the internal memory.. the whole things is still a zig zag puzzle for me. if sumone can help me with step by step tutorial , will be gr8. i have tried creating partition in my sd card via cwm , bt in vain. infact ended up corrupting my card and got it replaced.

Create partitions using Minitools partition wizard. Create ext4(256-512) and linux swap(0-128) partitions. Switch off your phone. Put the SD card in, trboot into recovery and wipe data. And then reboot.

Coul you just elaborate about the Linux swap file? Is it just like the virtual memory on the SD Card? Suppose if we have 16GB card and create larger EXT4 partitions, would we have to still create Linux swap partition of just 128MB?

For those who facing problem of low internel memory(ROOT REQUIRED)
No need to partition SD card
1) install the app
2) backup with titanium backup
2)uninstall the app
4) go to titaninium backup->Preferences->Restore Backup to->externel media
5) Restore the app with Titanium backup,,
by app2sd u can verify location where the app installed.
And your memory will never go low.. u can manage easily..

Through this way without partition, i guess the apps would be installed in FAT32 partition of the SD Card which is comparatively much slower to EXT4.

Recommended is 128 MB. 128 MB is more than enough. Swap basically is storage place which can be used as memory by the operating system when system RAM is low.

logi or prima

[Q]How to expand my expand storage capacity?

Hi can someone properly guide me how to expand my storage capacity on my galaxy fit with razordoid v4.
I have checked other threads but they are more or less confusing... :/
I'd appreciate if someone could put the apps i need and the steps required in order to do that.
Thank you very much for the support!

Do you have a sd ext partition?
If not, refer the guide in my sig...
From what i know, razodroid has a memory hack, so you just need a working sd partition...
Do not use Link2sd or other apps, since razodroid should set up the memory hack itself...

In your guide you mentioned ext3, but on razordroid i see that they talk a lot about ext4. What is all that about ?

Ext 3 and 4 are different file systems...
When you format system while installing a custom rom, cwm partitions it to ext4...
And when you partition sd with cwm, then the sd partition is ext3...
Try it...

If raj has given specific instructions on partitioning, then follow those (tell me also)...my guide is as general as it can be...

Hardly found any specific advice about that so i'll stick to the basics and i can't post on the dev forum yet (new member limitation or smth) to ask directly there.
Atm i am backing up my system and application data for making the partition.
Also regarding your thoughts on shdc maybe in 1-2 years UHS-I and II will work with smartphones for faster transfer rates.

Its very easy.
Just do backup of all your sd card data(copy all your sd card to your pc).-IMPORTANT
Then boot in clockwork mod recovery and go in partition sd card option.(Its in mount and storage or advanced)
Then it will ask for your confirmation to format sd card. Selact yes.
Then you will be asked to set the value of partition. Then select 1024M(which means 1gb)
Then proceed further. Partitioning takes quite a long time so dont panic.
After its done and after rebooting device, in settings>sd card and phone storage, you will find that the sd card total space will be 1gb lesser than before(ex. If u have 7.32gb memory then it will become 6.32gb)
This tells that partition is complete. Now flash razodroid 4 and the memory hack patch and you will get 1gb of internal memory
Best of luck

K did all that but:
i had already installed razordroid v4. And although the partition was made ( i chose only 512, not that it would matter) it didn't increase the internal storage with 512. Can i do that manually? I woudn't want to flash razord again....

If you chose 512m then its ok. Ultimately it depends on users choice. And internal memory will become 512 mb only. The rom itself takes some internal memory by which you will not see complete 512 mb remaining under the internal phone storage option.

You would have to flash razo again...
The memory hack is implemented at first boot...
Typed using a small touchscreen

Reflashed. It didn.t work. Whne deleting cache and data is it possible to delete the partition settings?

Partition isn't "soft"...
Even after data wipe, your partition shall remain, though it would be wiped too...
And just check how much internal memory you have...(from the default task manager)...
@people who've flashed razo - memory hack isn't optional...??
Typed using a small touchscreen

I have the same problem. I made a partition of 1 gb, i can see it is mounted, and when i flash razodroid, the internal memory is 178 Mb, But the sd card shows 1gb less. What can I do?

Can someone who has flashed the rom say whether memory hack is included or optional?
Typed using a small touchscreen

In the dev page raj says that it is included..

Its not included in the rom. It needs to be flashed seperately. But i hav not tried it.

Once you have partitioned your sd card you will always see and have 1gb less memory.

This explains it then...
Its not included, so either flash the memory hack, or use your preferred hacks/scripts/apps to make use of your sd ext partition...

Can you please give a link to memory hack for razodroid 4 ?

Link2SD Problem

Okay, so I have an HTC Explorer, which I rooted recently (Factory reset BEFORE rooting, so that everything is clean). Installed Link2SD on it with an external FAT32 second partition of 512 MB. Then I proceeded to install all my backed-up apps.
Now, the problem I am having, is that Link2SD would create links to all the existing apps(As well as Auto-Link is turned on) but The apps are still taking up space in Internal memory.
For example, say, I have 50 MB of free space and I install Titanium Backup, which is 5 MB, and then Link2SD will link it automatically, but I will still have 45 MB of space left in the internal memory :-/
Help please? I am using Stock HTC Explorer ROM.

I am also having this problem ... Have just tested with Zombiebooth App ...
The app is 30mb was on the SD card (APP2SD standard), moved back to internal it took up 30mb, and then LINK2SD it over to the EXT4 partiton on my sdcard .. it shows the memory space is still using 26mb internal .. WTF .. why is the app still using 26mb ? surely LINK2SD should move all 30mb over and just create a small link on the internal memory ??
EDIT: Just read FAQ's of LINK2SD ... some internal files of an app are still left behind on internal memory in the \data\data folder ...
Wonder if it is still possible to move/link these remaining files over too ? There must be a reason why they're left behind

you guys should try cronmod D2EXT+, here. It's work like a charm on my Galaxy Ace, before i had 180 Mb n after i used it my internal memory become 2 Gb. try it n you'll be amazed...

Or you can just use int2ext+ now. but thanks for the advice.

[Q] HELP ME : "Storage almost full"

Hi guys,
My phone has root, SD card is 8Gb has great partition 1Gb for ext3, up rom Sense 5 EX Build#6-V1 of …. or JaggyRom_3.2.1 … that is ok
But few days ago when I up rom sense 5 v3: notification when phone stated is “Storage almost full”. I check Internal Storage: available space is less than 1Mb. I can’t action anything on my phone except call & message. Available space of SD storage is no problem
The first, I think the reason by rom, but when I up any other rom, the problem is the same. I don’t know what to do
Pls help me!
Sorry my bad english

You also need to install a memory script like mounts2sd or int2ext to make the phone move files from internal storage to the ext partition on sdcard. (Although newer ROMs come with built in support)
I assume you've already installed some such app, in which case you might have to configure it to move dalvik cache and data to external.
