I have 2 smartphone android OS and 2 tablets Android OS
In huawei Honor there is Internal Memory 800Mb, Internal SD 2Gb, External up to 32 Gb
In Advan S5 Internal Memory 1.8Gb, External up to 32 Gb
Advan Vandroid Tablet Internal Memory 500Mb, Internal Sd 2Gb, External up to 32Gb
I'm wondering is there anyway to merge the Internal Memory with the Internal SDcard so it is increase my internal memory and i'm only have mount one Sdcard when connect to PC (just like my Advan S5)
As far as I know there is no way to merge the Internal Memory with the Internal SDcard, they are two different kind of memories with two different filesystems and as it happens when you have two hard discs in your pc, you cannot merge them into one.
Actually with 2 disks on a PC you can use LVM to merge them. However, with internal member and internal SD it doesn't work that way. Though, Linux can make memory seem as if its physical its not the same thing. =\
But in ZTE V970 i managed to merge these 2 memories: 500 mb with 2GB - now i have one 2.5 internal SD...
I used a mtk flash tool special for zte...so i think it must be also for others models, isnt it?
Regards
Well i dont have specific solution but i know that it depends on the hardware especially memory controller. For example if ur phone does has soomething like raid system like on pc's

Ok so i have been doing some reading about partitions on the Nexus S .
As it stands there 1gb internal memory and 16gb external sd (built in).
Right now i leave everything on internal memory and move games to external sd.
Now would creating a 1gig EXT partition and moving apps to that be any faster than on the external sd card?
And im assumign the internal memory is the fastet outta the lot?
Help? ^^
Spare yourself the trouble.
Physically it is all the same chip of flash memory, partitioned on a somewhat low level.
The "external" sd you are talking about is already a partition on that one flash chip.
Can someone explain me how can i merge my internal storage and my phone storage in 1 memory? I have rooted xperia J and i use my sdcard as my internal storage, so i have 16GB at the internal storage and 2 at the sd card. I want to merge them together, like if they were only 1 partition. Please help meeeeeee
Never heard of this before and i don't think it's possible on J
They are two different memories. All you can do is swap them.
Not possible. Just swap them, 2gb not that much anyways.
Hello XDA-ers.I own an Ulefone Be Touch 2 runing on Andoid 5.0 and i really want to know if there is a solution for swaping internal memory with external memory.I have like 10gb left on internal and 400 mb on SD card and i can`t install for example a game which is 2 gb,giving me the insuficient external memory error.I already checked Internal Memory on Settings->Storage.
Saw some people posted about using SD as internal memory, but what about a tv box. recently acquired a Tronfy x2, H3 ,1GB/8GB. My game files will be installed to the external memory instead of the internal storage as small as 8 GB. I tried to use clockworkmod recovery 4.0.3. but it does not work, can anyone give me some advice on how to build the SD card into internal memory?
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!
