There are 2 ways first: navigate /settins/apps then select an app that can be moved to sd then select move to sd card.this is called native apps2sd which just moves the bacic app files.
Second: partition your sdcard with partition wizard choose what size to make the second partition and format it as ext4. Then down load link2sd app from play store then open it a popup message will appear choose ext4 then if you have done everything right then it will say "mount scripts created please reboot your device to mount the second partition" then there you go extra memory for your apps if you go back to link2sd press menu then multi select then choose which apps you want to move then press actions then create link then the apps will be moved to the second partition. and from settings you can choose auto link which will auto link newly installed apps. This is the best as it moves all app data files to the second partition which leaves you system memory free and fast.
Make sure you backup your sdcard to your pc before you try the second option as it might erase all your data i am not responsible for any loss of your data every thing you try on XDA is by your own choice and at your own risk!!

Ive got a better idea for you. Just do vold.fstab trick and youll get bigger internal mem. You can even use your 32gb microsd as internal and do link2sd to the microsd at the same time.

Both needs root. For vold.fstab, you just need to mod the text inside the file. Need easy root method? Try unlockroot.

Use this. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f77twwjxhimocxv/ishuaji_root_sj.exe Its a chinese rootnig app. Just click the big green button. Install ADB Drivers first. Search universal adb driver. Then click next button (the layout will be>>previous, next, cancel) like the usual installer. I just used this against a hard to root Alcatel One Touch Glory 2S 4010x and able to get root.

what do you mean? not have internal mem? internal mem is 150mb....
i have 16gb sd....so i want to swap it....can you tech me how to swap?

No, that is for system. Check your storage menu, you only have internal (the 150mb one) and the 16gb microsd only. If you really want swap, check darktremor app2sd, but there are lots of work to do, and its kinda hard to do it on mtk phones (this alcatel is mtk). If you pick link2sd, its much safer. Just need to partition sd card into 2 (fat32 + ext2).

try mine...
replace your vold.fstab then reboot...
do backup your original one before use this...
ps: you need sdcard with class6 or more (class 10 would be better)
and don't worry about your ext2 partition, it's works as well...
enjoy...

Hi those who face less memory problem u can use ur ext_sdcard(memory card) as internal memory and internal memory as ext_sd card
just replace the attached files in root /system/etc
vold.7z(for stock rom)
For those who use cm10 replace this file vold.rar
dont forget to reboot after replacing

how to do it manually?

App to ext sd card

Hello,
Guys as we all know XL internal and device memory isn't that large enough to store big games and larger app sizes...and whatever we receive via bluetooth or download goes into internal and eats up space i have tried gl2sd app and it works to transfer data of games to sd by duplicating folders but the associated files remain in internal memory and this app only works for new apps or selected apps only so guys do you have any idea about app that moves everthing to sd card? ( i really miss my gb days )
Please help suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance

Interesting people are using General for Question and answer.
Have you tried Link2SD?
This allows you to have new applications automatically installed on the TFcard.
It also allows you to manually move existing application data and libraries onto the TFcard too.
You do need to create a second partition on the TFcard and normally this is easy enough to do, but the XPERIA L is having a few TFcard problems and may not support a complex TFcard setup.
I normally create a 2GB partition for Link2SD to use, but many large game applications may require more..
The benefit Link2SD brings to the table is that the 2nd partition is still available to the system when you have your phone connected to a PC via USB.

I have created two partition on my sd card with Mini Tool. Fat32 and ext4. Both of them is primary. link2sd has root permission. But, link2sd does not found ext4 partition. What should I do?
Edit: Ok. Then I formatted sd card by phone. Because of this, link2sd haven't found it. I cannot use sd card If I do not format by phone. So, how can I create partition?

I dont understand your question..but anyways
The internal storage i.e 754 mb is for all installed apps or space left for installing apps...

yes 754 mb is for all installed apps, so if i use all that space that means i can't install any apk right,
so all miro also have that kind partition, why its not go to 2gb partition when we install something

Increase internal memory using sd card?

Hello
I just bought an Xperia L.
internal memory disappoints me.
it's 1.57 n 4gbplus sd card.
can I use sd card for game data as 4gb
isn't enough for me. While buying I thought it'll be 6 n sd. I have 16gb card. How to I install three to four games of about 1.2 gb each? (4.8gb)

There is a tutorial on the forum how to swap internal with external memory which will make your 16 Gb SD Card as a Internal memory.
But be careful and do not format the internal one (will be know as a external after swap) as this will brick your phone. Just swap, do not formate and here you go

link2SD worths a look too

afaik the only difficulty you could find is the sdcard partitioning, but it can be easily performed from the recovery

Thank you for being detailed. I exactly know what are you talking about. It takes just two minutes to setup Link2sd if you are rooted.
The reason I do not like Link2Sd is that once you factory reset your phone, sometimes it corrupts your system files. It happened with me a couple of times. It's just I had a bad experience with it.
Cheers again

I repartitioned my internal SD card and my userdata to use for cm12. I used it, and then I decided to flash stock. While flashing, flashtool gave me an error.
After that, only thing that works are Flashmode, Fastboot and Recovery with adb.
I can't flash anything on recovery, as it says E:/ can't be mounted.
I also tried fastboot flash system system.sin, but it failed.
I took the advice of an xda member to use gparted, but my device isn't recognized, or so I think.
Please help me, I have no warranty over this device, and I also have no knowledge.

Get flashtool for Sony Xperia
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Install drivers from flash tool
Download ftf for your phone c2105 or 104 . check settings about for this information.(XDA Xperia l general section) @Joel16 he has wonderful guide for all this
Use flash tool to flash stock ROM. Clear portion/cache etc (google how to use it)
See if that works!
Or yoy can use Sony's own tool PC companion(find on Sony mobile website) to repair your phone!
Next Tim use folder mount app to install many big games to sdcard1.
Good luck

Is there any way to increase my Device memory(2gb) by merging it with Internal memory(4gb)? Even though I have 191mb free in device memory,the google maps and all are not getting installed in my rooted phone.

[Q] Swap internal with external SD card?

Hi, is it possible to swap the internal sd card with an external one? I have a rooted Sony Xperia J with locked bootloader. It is running Jelly Bean. I have a SanDisk Micro SD. Help?

How do I do it?
doperthancoke said:
Yes it is possible. But I recommend you not do that because it is quite dangerous, as it might hardbrick your phone.

Ok, thanks for the fast reply. So, how do I go around doing it?

Ok, but...
doperthancoke said:
Well.... The thing is, you'll be fine as long as you dont mess up. But its very easy to mess up. For example: if you wipe internal storage while using the mod, your phone is hardbricked. Another note: Various users have ran into problems while swapping internal and external sd (disappearing, corrupted apps, and your phone and apps might become sluggish if your sd card read/write speed is not fast enough,etc....).
There's a way around this, but its not quite the same thing. If you have large apps that store its data on internal sd (examples: games like Asphalt or large dictionaries), you can use apps such as "FolderMount" or "GL2sd" to move the apps' data to external sd and link it to internal sd (You're fooling the system into thinking that the data is in the internal sd, when its actually in the external sd). Of course, by using this method, you will not actually be swapping external sd with internal sd. And the apps are not moved, just the DATA of the apps.
If you don't care about the risks and the method I suggested above isn't good enough for you, and you still want to do it, search "vold.fstab swap external sd and internal sd xperia j" on the forum.
(Don't say I did not warn you!)

Ok, I kinda screwed up. I did what they told me to, but when I rebooted my phone, my external SDcard was not mounted and my internal one was un-mounted! Hence, I have access only to the apps in my phone storage... I did a backup and tried to flash the stock firmware but Flashtool told me that a folder could not be found and flashing failed... I still can use my phone, but alot of apps are gone. ;_; I can't even access Whatsapp! Any advice? Also, I do not have access to Root Explorer, and when I plug in my phone to my computer, 1 error message comes out: The process android.process.media has stopped. Any help? Plus, are there any good suggestions for common and cheap smartphones? Thanks for helping!
