[Q] Want to replace SD card , (JaggyRom)

Hey , I am using custom rom (Jaggy Rom) on my HTC explorer, its working perfectly. I am using 2GB card, but where is my 512 mb gone i mean , apps are automatically installed in SD-card but in FAT partition, so question is what is ext-4 partition for? Where it is used?
And 2ndly i am also planning to change my sd-card from 2gb to 4gb, can u help plz. Thanx

if you have created a partition in the SD card you need to use a memory increasing script like Mount2SD or Ungaze...when you install this script the 512MB of the ext-4 partition will show up as your phone's internal memory.

Thanks for reply, mount2SD is preinstalled in jaggyrom 4.1, and will you help me on changing my SD card?

and how can i confirm if apps are installing on SD card. Mount2SD is installed, and i think script is working , because my phone is showing constant internal memory on installing apps (i.e about 160 mb even if i install apps or uninstall them)

changing your SD card as in? what are you asking,please be clear...
and in Mount2SD it usually shows the partition memory added up in the internal memory.I haven't installed Jaggyrom anytime but i have used Mount2SD and it always showed me the partition memory as a part of my internal memory....so not sure what's wrong.
Download disk usage app from play store..it will show how much memory is used in your SD card as well as your internal memory..just so you will get a clear idea

Changing my SD cards mean i want to switch the card, i m using 2gb currently and i want to replace with 4gb or 8gb

If you want to replace it make sure you buy a class 10 SD card..because most of people using sense based ROM are experiencing random reboots with class 4 SD cards...class 10 SD cards are much faster while transfering files...I would recommend 8GB class 10 SD card.

Alright but i have installed custom rom. When i take out my card from phone it dosn't works, and i want to copy previous sd-ext partition data to new card can u help how can i

I don't think so that any of the CWM or TWRP recovery supports the back-up of SD-ext..I would rather recommend you to use Titanium back-up to create back-up of all your current apps and than transfer the titanium back-up folder in your SD-card to your PC/laptop and than insert your new SD card and paste that titanium back-up folder which contains the back of all your apps (including apps in SD-ext) and download the titanium back-up app via play store and restore those apps.

Well thanx, What if i clone/copy my old ext partition to my new card's ext partition?

I don't think that will work. the best option you have is to make a titanium backup. if you don't wanna do that then save your sd card data ( data in fat 32 partition) and paste that in your new card. it will save you game progress, but titanium backup is the best way to go.

Well, that means i have to make a titanium backup and thn again install the custom rom i wil lose my settings

[Q] Force (or make default installation) app to SD or move to sd. Nothing works why?

I am using micromax a 89 stock rom 4.0.4 my phone is rooted too.I tried to move app to sd card with many apps “app to sd” , “move app”, etc.also I tried this method
Every time when I move my app using any method it swap or force app to phone memory and internal memory only.

2. Internal memory 503 MB
3. Sd card 4GB (my removable storage)
i want installation of all the apps into my memory card.please help me

Make all my apps movable

Hello again Android Guru's.
It seems that some apps can't move to SD Card by default and some can. Is there any possibility to change the storage that an app will be installed?
As you might imagine I have already root my phone and switched my ext_sdcard as sdcard (internal storage). My problem is that my apps install to my phone storage and SOME OF THEM can't be moved to my Internal Storage (which my phone reads as SDCARD).
Further details:
Phone: Tipo (Rooted)
Phone Storage: 750MB (where my apps install by default)
Internal Storage: 16GB (former "ext_sdcard)
SD Card : 2,5GB (former internal storage "sdcard")

There is an app on the market called Link2sd which can force apps to move to the sd card. You need to be careful though, some apps will break if moved completely. The best option if you are not sure is to link them to the sd using this app rather than moving them completely. More info can be found here:

Razr HD Internal Memory storage

I have a Nexus5 and I'm taking the plunge on buying this for my girlfriend for cheap...
The question is, it has 16GB advertised as ROM, but out of that, how much is REALLY user available?
For example, I had a Microtek phone which had 8 GB rom, but it was partitioned into system, internal and phone
system had like 2GB, phone had 5GB available for photo storage and stuff, and 1GB for apps... which was really a hit in the nuts.
Is it the same with this Motorola phone? I read somewhere it says 16GB but only 12 User avaiable
out of those 12, are they all real for app installations?
What I want to avoid is installing two games and having an "insufficient memory" window
please help!
Thanks!!

Anyone?
Can you just go into Storage settings and tell me how much memory does it read for Internal Storage and if there's another partition named Phone Storage? or if Internal Storage is the only partition? (other than the SD card), can you switch between SD card and internal for app installation?

That's what I read on my phone :
Internal storage :
Total space 11,65GB
Available 11.25GB
Apps (app data & media content) 270MB
....
There's no Phone Storage folder.

That depends on your rom. If you're on JB stock, KK rooted or Lollipop, you'll surely have the choice between SD card and Internal Storage.

Need help about storage problem please!! (Lineage OS 14.1 Nightly)

Hi guys. I just need a quick help. I flashed lineage os 14.1 on my xperia L. Everything is fine but storage. So xperia L has 8 GB internal storage. But after i flashed there is only 3.27 gb internal storage. And there is a portable storage name sdcard0 but it is not an sd card. It is like internal storage is devided. 3.27 gb is usable as internal storage, 4gb "sdcard0" cannot be used for installing apps, also apps like instagram load cache to sdcard0 and i can't wipe it. So help me merge those together and be able to use my 8gb internal storage please!
(Other SD CARD is an actual sd cart

first note that Xperia L has just 4GB of internal storage + 1.3GB system + 1.6GB data partition + 500MB cache +etc ( = 8GB in total).
then try clean installing the latest nightly version again to check if gets fixed. if it doesn't help, backup all of your files in internal sdcard and format it in recovery to check if that extra partition gets disappeared.

Actually...

Actually flashing stock os didn't fixed either. Sony is DUMB. 4gb internal storage can be used for apps but other 4gb can only be used for data (.obb files, media files,everything but not app). It is like phone has an extra internal sd card in it. When i install large games like 1.5 gb, 30-40 mb gets located in first 4gb part, and the rest is stored in other internal but external-ish sd card. Simply, phuck sony.
