Do you mean use the 16gb instead of internal memory?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

The internal SD card is not removable

No i mean the internal sd the one inside the phone it only has 2gb.i once had a hd2 and changed the internal sd for a bigger one so i though i could do the same with this phone. Is it possible??
Or mount the 16gb as internal.

I really don't know about that but what I did was just change my download path to the external_sd within whatever app I was downloading from

Erm, the phone has built in memory, and then expandable memory from the microSD slot. Use a larger microSD and install your apps or transfer whatever media you have to that instead of the internal memory. You can also set your camera to save images to the microSD instead of the phone's internal memory.

The games install by default to internal sd and i don't have space for games only one fits and can't dl. Eny more that's my biggest problem and cant make the games install the data to external sd.

if you flash the cm7 port your external sd will be in your sdcard path like normal, and internal will be under an emmc folder instead. as far as i know thats your only option

We(tfq) are working on separating the sdcard and external sdcard like in cm7...it'll be emmc for internal ans sdcard for external SD
It does take time so waiting is crucial we are working on a lot of stuff for you guys

Sd card full

everything i want to download from internet even if its 6MB it says Sd card full even if i have 2gb free.

Did u set internal storage as default ?if your internal storage is full,it won't save file to sdcard even you have 2gb free there.

i dont know but i also have 4.26GB free internal storage.I can download market apps but when i download a apk from internet it says sd card full

That's bad,maybe something's wrong with your system,or sdcard corrupted.try to use another sdcard and see that if you still have that problem.

Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

Me too I had looooooooooooots of doubts but after I partitioned it today regretted every moment without ext!!!!!!
So I partitioned it through CWM 256 ext and 32 swap and when using link2sd it's exactly like apps are in /data(widgets...)
I don't know about risks coz I didn't face any
PM me for any question I'm ready to help!

I too have a doubt when I partitioning my SD card all my data in it will gonna erase

Yes, partitioning your SD card will format it and erase everything on it, so back it up first.
The point of an ext partition is to extend the internal memory, so you can load it up with apps and not run out of internal storage. This comes in handy on the ov which has very little internal memory to begin with. With an ext partition, you can use apps like link2sd to create symbolic links to your apps, so they can be on the sd card, but the "think" they are on the internal. This way you can move apps that can't be normally moved to the sd, or use widgets, which need to be on the internal memory. I, however like cronmod's ext scripts. They can be put in the init.d of some roms, and they will move your data partition, and/or dalvik, and/or data/apps to the ext. That way you don't have to manage apps like with link2sd. In a sense, it's like adding straight to the internal memory.
To partition your sd card, the easiest thing is to do it from a custom recovery. You won't get to choose the filesystem, but you can choose the size of the ext partition and swap. Keep swap at zero, as most phones here won't use it. Set your ext partition to ~10% of the size of the sd card.
If you want a different filesystem than your recovery gives you, you can use the minitool partition wizard on your pc with a card reader:

Is swap partition really helpful for low ram devices and O1??
Do we need to use any script to use of swap memory or is it done automatically??!
Edit: Good info about swap partition.

hope this can help you!

Actually swap is not needed for o1.Even on ics i have about 150-200 mb of free ram most of the time,and if u make swap partition u'll get even more free ram.But remember unused ram or free ram is nothing but waste of ram in linux,unlike windows.

Had a similar issue before and I had to wipe internal sd in recovery and it was fixed. Don't know what screwed it.
