Hey Guys. So this phone is really great,the only problem I have with it is the internal memory size. Any advice on how to swap the internal memory with the sd card? Thanks in advance.
Please guys I really need your help.
You cannot swap internal and sd card storage, but you can make the SD card act as internal storage by partitioning it

Ok, I'm going to start off by asking
Are you rooted?
If you aren't, then I suggest doing so

Yes I'm rooted and I have a CM9 rom.
Alright. I personally used Link2SD to gain internal memory, although there are others.
I used this guide for Link2SD (it explains everything!) http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/ it was written for xperia phones, but it is universal.
CM9 SHOULD support EXT4, but to be safe I would use EXT3, or even FAT. These shouldn't matter, but I like larger numbers. I also partitioned about 1 GB, which was enough for me, but you can always do more (don't overkill)

This one.
In the same thread there is a flashable zip that swaps between the internal&external sd cards. So you can theoretically get a 32GB microSD and have that act as your internal sd card while having the real internal memory act as a 1.5GB external sd.

Does anyone know how to unify the Internal SD Card partition? My G2x (running Bionix rom) is showing me 3 storage spaces, i.e., it is showing 2 partitions for internal SD Card & 1 for external SD Card. I wanna know if I can unify the 2 partitions of my internal SD Card so that I can ACTUALLY move my apps to my external SD Card. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
This phone has 1GB of internal memory from which about 330MB is traceable, but it's used for the operating system applications, settings, drivers and core.
For storage proper you use SD card.up to 32GB.

Depending on which ROM you have installed, it takes up around half of the 1G internal storage. Then there are other partitions on the internal storage (OneNAND-Flex nand flash) that also take up space, like kernels and bootloaders.
I use app2sd and have a 16G sdcard. No problems here.
Hope that helps.

What do you use for you app2sd? Is there a script that can just move everything to my ext4 partitioned sdcard? Btw I'm used to HTC phones, so far they have been the easiest at rooting, n such.

Hi everyone! My SGS 4G doesn't see his internal memory, like it is not there. This issue happened after flashing the device. The Baseband version was KG4 now I downgraded to KC1 trying to fix the problem. Any ideas why the phone can't recoghise his internal memory?
Hi, I'm a bit noob on these issues, a few days ago my phone brickied, but I solved it, after that when I connect the phone to my laptop recognize the SD card like internal memory and storage of the phone recognizes it as the SD card ....
I also like that I recommend an unofficial ROM
without bugs and stable for my phone, if possible
having bootloader
I hope someone can help me

Not sure what you are asking sir, I have installed these, which means I have either tested or ran the ROMs in the Dev. as far as sd card issues, there is none, now for CM9, the mount is different than Gingerbread...EMMC which means: Embedded Multi Media Card, vice the GB "ext SD" label.

the laptop does see the phone units, the problem is that it shows the wrong way .. shows the phone's internal storage like a removable card (SD)

Only if you want to allocate more ext space to sd card to run apps. I find it unnecessary and problematic. Also roms must support apps2sd to support it. These phones have plenty of space imo but others may find it useful.

Thanks for the answer.
okay. so i have:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' (8gb internal / 32gb microSD external) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
1-. i rooted it
2-. partition the microSD leaving (1st partition with 28gb FAT32 / 2nd partition with 1gb ext2)
3-. downloaded Link2SD and linked to the ext2 partition
4-. linked almost every app (screenshot)
yet the info in "storage" says i'm storing everything in the internal memory (screenshot).
i linked "Fifa 12" to external SD and started downloading it (aprox 1.2gb) and while it downloads i can see how the free space from the internal storage goes down.
am i doing something wrong?, thanks in advance!
here i add a screenshot showing that partition i made (i did it fine as far as i know)
please...anyone? =(

Naw you didn't do anything wrong. I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I have a 32gb sd card myself and it's rendered useless so far
Try this out. Maybe you will have luck with it

i decided to add some videos and books manually to the SD card to at least do "something" useful with the tablet and now i get an error at the google play store.
i've had this thing for a couple of days and i'm sick of it. i should have go the nexus 7 32gb, only if i knew before...

I couldn't get it to run right ( I mean mount2sd). Kept hiding my apps and doing buggy stuff. Link2sd would at least move some pass over. I mean on 4.2.2. I only use the script above on pre 4.2

Question: how did you partition your SD card? I've been searching around and have had no luck.
