Hey, I upgraded to a cheap android but it has very little internal memory, it can barely handle its own updates let alone the apps. I have rooted it and installed link2sd to put almost every app on the sd card, but that doesnt help. I also set the stock install location to the sd card. the data is still stuck on the internal and causing a low space error
Phone is a kyocera milano
problem Not enough internal space(would like to link internal to external?)

Just a question about how Android handles Internal and SD card storage on the G2x. I've never had to think about Internal vs External before, and I'm not overly familiar with Android... so I thought I'd ask.
G2x
Internal is a 8g SD
External I have an 8g SD card.
I noticed in settings the options for Phone Memory. I assume this is the internal 8g storage. I see settings for total space, available space, unmount phone memory and format phone memory. then a setting for internal phone memory.
I assume the Phone memory is a 8g card that is partitioned or something,
The SD card settings has the similar settings.
I assume if I unmount, the format option becomes available. Being and external card with nothing running from it, formatting this card is no big deal.
What about the Phone Memory. If I unmount and format...what does that do the device? I assume that apps are installed to the storage portion of this internal memory. Data is stored there ...again I assume. If this is formatted, will the device still work?
Basically I want to put the device back into the condition it was in when I turned it on the first time.
Is there a way, non Root, to insure most data storage is to the External card? Already figured out how to get picture storage to external...how about other apps?
TIA
well i know alot of the apps let u pick sdcard or phone storage some dont tho, u have to go into settings , then applications then, manage applications. whatever app u want moved click on it then choose move to sdcard....if it has that option, like i said sometimes some apps wont let u so that option u wont be able to choose...also dont u se that space for custom roms? or do u have internal recov flashed? which i dont see why since u have an sdcard an 8gig at that
There are also some apps that let you choose where they download stuff to, internal or external. I know the LG camera app lets you choose internal or external storage for where it saves photos. As far as I know it depends on the app tho.
Hello,
As the description says.. anyone know this problem?
Im rooted and on arhd
If i deleete some apps the problem is still here. I can download from market with no problem
This is an issue with /data or /datadata I think...
There are some threads on xda that point to the partition because the wrong size/file system and tells the os it is out of space.
Don't confuse the internal data partition where apps typically install with the space on the internal sd card (where you indicated you have 10GB of space).
The internal sd card of the tf is divided into partitions that determine all the space/permissions and what not.
As an immediate fix, try uninstalling apps you don't use at all and move apps that don't require internal storage to the SD card. This should alleviate for the time being while you narrow down the issue.
Hello,
I'm using low end memory device (or something like that) and I wanted to increase Internal memory, because i have only about 150 mb of it and 3/4 of it are system apps. So I Googled and find some programs that saves your apps to second partition of sd card and now I'm using Link2SD. But one program of what I used (I don't know which) somehow change phone storage with sd card storage so It shows that there is 8gb of phone storage but no SD car. So I want to change it back, so there will be real phone storage (because when I take sd card from phone there isn't phone storage) and there will be sd card.I hope you understand my problem :s.
PS: Also if you know any program that could increase Internal storage please tell me for it
Thank you,
Matic.

any suggest?
As you can see in the attachment, it is very problematic for me, I do not understand why I am not able to use the device storage and why everything that I download goes to internal storage, is my device storage actually just RAM?? It makes installing apps nearly impossible and I keep getting constant reminders that I have low memory

Use Total Commander as file manager. It will give you a better overview
Your apps are stored on the internal storage. Thats only about 1GB. Internal and external SD CARD can not be used to install apps on it. For using SD CARD to store apps use Link2SD. For using Link2SD you will have to spli8t one of your sc cards. Must beformated as followed:
1. partition Fat32
2. partition Ext4
Both partitions must be primary. Use Partition Wizard to prepare your sd card.
Ok I have an LG Volt thats running Android Kitkat 4.4.2. it has like 4gb of internakl memory and I have a 32gb SD Card in it thats not being utilized. I rooted it because I read with a rooted phone you can move apps to SD Card and clear out bloatware, and I need to make space on my internal memory. I have 1gig of free space left and a game on my phone (that i actually want) is taking up another gig. I want to move that to my SD card but it only moves the app (which is only taking 3mb) it wont move the app data which is taking 1gig. How do I move that data to my Sd card?
Ive tried titanium backup but that doesnt list a move to Sd Card option. Ive tried link2sd, but link 2 SD card is greyd out and it says second partition not found (do i really need to make multiple partition on an SD card to do that? Why not just use the free space thats on its default partition?) and when I try to move it from my phone to my SD card in that program I get a failure message that says "App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your sd card" and then sometime if I try to link it says something about os emulation.
So what I need is step by step instruction on how to move an app (including its data) from my internal storage to my Sd card on my rooted 4.4.2 lg volt. OR how to upgrade my lg volt from kitkat 4.4.2 to Marshmallow 6.0 without bricking it because I hear Marshmallow allows you to turn your Sd card into internal storage which would give me 32 GB of internal storage instead of 8 thus I can keep all my app in my new "internal storage" and not care. Thank you.
surely someone knows >.>
Search lg volt on android forums. Go to root and there's going to be a various selection of threads. Currently devs are working on CM13 I have it installed on mine and yes my SD card is now internal. CM 13 works perfectly BUT some phones may have a green tint in there camera.
