Hi guys.
I know this can sound a bit funny but that's true. I have done unlocking bootloader and flashing rom on few xperia's x8.
No problem at all.
Here I'm little bit confused as I was reading the unlocking of bootloader process on Sony offical instruction they've said "For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader." it is true ? Does it really delete everything on the sd card ? Would the unlocking work if I take of my sd ? Or do they mean internal storage ? Or do they mean both sd and internal ?
Also I'm having a question as our new developer make a rom I would like to flash. Like there wasn't a problem on x8 as it didn't have an internal storage. If I would like to flash the custom rom and wipe user data does it deleted the stuff of internal storage like pictures music and everything ? Or does it only do it for the system partition and the one for the installed apps ?
Thanks for help.

I've unlocked the bootloader and internal storage hasn't been touched. Of course I have to flash FTF as phone get bootloop but still there wasn't any sign of missing my files from internal storage.

You can move some apps to sdcard without any problem... but if you want to move others apps using force move to sdcard then use link2sd app from playstore - it requires rooted devices where you can increase the size of your internal memory to any size using ext3/4 partition of the sdcard...

First you have to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Then you have to root your device(for how to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/general/root-e3-t2964845 )
then get FOLDERMOUNT From Playstore
now install big games on sd card and mount them whenever you want to play them.

Hi everyone.
I'm a little confused here. The Xperia E3 has 4gb of internal memory. So why can I only get acess to 2gb of it?
I'm trying to install new apps and it says that I don't have enough space, when I have 200mb of available space and the app only needs 35mb...
Please help!!!!

Phone needs memory for its normal works. So if you are low on memory you can move apps to sd, clean cache,uninstall unnecessary apps.
Or if you are rooted then possibly are more.

System's got there 1700 MB (Stock ROM with bloatware has about 1200) and /data 1781 MB. A simple change should do the job (I haven't tried it).

Hi there
I've got a Sony Xperia C (C2305) and it's got a constant problem with disk space. I have installed a 32GB microSD but many of the app's insist on remaining on the 1GB partition (Device Memory) which now means app's are starting to bloat, etc. and I can't even run updates on app's like Whatsapp or Google+ because it says there's insufficient disk space for the download.
I am optimistic and hopeful that if I root / custom ROM the device I can get some life out of the phone.
When I did the Sony Unlock Bootloader check, my phone says under Service Info / Configuration "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No" which I think means I cannot use the Sony Developer tool to unlock the bootloader but I don't know if this also means it is a hopeless cause entirely.
I'd appreciate any insight into whether it is advisable to root / custom ROM my phone (and if it's even possible, given the above information) and whether or not this will enable me a greater deal of flexibility with installing app's on the SD card? 1GB internal is apparently not enough but if I can (with a custom ROM) move Gmail etc. to the SD card then I don't see any long-term challenges with this fix...
Thanks in advance

Firstly, I hit the "thanks" button.
Secondly, I just followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59153643&postcount=171 to root and custom ROM my phone - timing was a little off because I'd have preferred to keep my original Sony ROM and run your fix. I may still need to do it now that I've done the new ROM because some app's still refuse to move to SD on their own.
The title of the app implies it creates a link, rather than moves the app - I will look into it though.
Many thanks!

The same of app sounds like linking but I use this app and many other people also use this app. It moves any App permanently from your desired location to your desired location.
Just flash this by cwm and your internal memory would become 2gb.

Hi again - sorry for the late response; moved home and had no internet access for ages!!
I find Link2SD cannot move all apps from Internal Storage to SD card... for example:
Google+ tries to move for a while, then it says:
"Failure
pkg: /data/app/
com.google.android.apps.plus-1.apk
Failure
[INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]"
I find there are several apps (mostly Google apps) that seem to not be able to move to SD Card?
Another example is with Gmail:
If I hit "Link to SD card" it says
Second partition not found
/dev/block/: device not found
Make sure you have two partitions on your SD card and both are primary.
I'm guessing that means I need to partition my SD card but I'm not sure how I should do that for Android (or can I do something silly like use Windows DIsk Management for this) ?
Is it true that some applications just won't allow you to move them to SD card? I find the limited device memory on the Xperia C crippling. I keep running out of memory and can't even install a 16k app and I hardly have anything on there - the major app's like Gmail and Inbox are using up a large chunk of space.

Actually, I may have answered my own question by fiddling a bit with Link2SD - there's an option to convert an app (e.g. Google+) to a user app. I am still learning Android but it seems AFAIK that a system app is read-only and in /system/app and that's why it cannot be moved.
So by first following your original advice (@iSiddharth) and selecting the option "Integrate update into system", I think I am now removing the rollback feature of a system app (i.e. it is now a single app instead of a system app plus a separate update). Next, if I convert it to a user app, I can then - after a device reboot - move the app to the SD card (since it is now considered a user app instead of a system app).
At least, I hope my understanding is more or less correct and I'm not messing up my apps!!! I'm leaving all mission critical apps that are in /system where they are in case removing read-only for them could run me into trouble later.
And if I follow this for all of the apps that I need to, I can free up internal memory - AND if that patch / flash from @Rsameer
is legit, I can also get more local memory (+1GB).
maybe this will help you

Once again sorry for late reply; just had a baby addition into our new home so I've been kinda busy
@Rsameer @Magdy Yassen I have followed the steps and flashed it but now the new ROM hasn't got Google Account Manager, Settings UI, or CWM any more so I can't figure out how to restore my backup? I'm sitting with the new image but I am stuck?
The steps say
"Once Xperia C starts, then simply turn off the phone and again boot into recovery and restore the backup you created earlier using CWM. By this you will restore all the data you had earlier."
but how do I boot into recovery now?

theres a method to increase internal mem of xc
google Increase Internal mem XC
IF you are facing the problem of. "" “Insufficient storage Space” Issue on Playstore while or simply adding few extra apps to device."
But the problem is now solved by re partitioning the Internal Memory and thus decreasing the Internal Memory and henceforth increasing App storage space on Xperia C.
Note: If you increase App or Device storage space of Xperia C then your Internal Memory becomes 210
MB, therefore if you do not have memory card yet, you should not proceed with this tutorial.
Procedure:
1 First of all Take Full CWM
backup of Xperia C,
2. Flash ghe file given below.
3. Xperia C will take almost 10 minutes in
rebooting,
4. Once Xperia C starts, then simply turn off
the phone and again boot into recovery and
restore the backup you created earlier using
CWM.

Sorry for the late reply as I was busy with my boards. No restoring the backup would just restore data the app memory would remain 2 gb. Hope I was able to help you.
Done Successfully..thank you..!!
Did this thing successfully..!! Now have total 2GB as an internal memory. No worry about installing lot of apps. Thanks to developer:good:. Specially to informationlord.com who has given step by step procedure with snapshots, solutions to each problem that may occur during the process with every tiny detail. I suggestion to those who are going to try this is that they should go to every line they've written on informationlord.com:cyclops: Thanks to developers again for making me proud user of Xperia C. Now this phone is perfect for me.:laugh:
Really need to restart after installing Increase internal storage or can already do the restore without leaving the CWM? Here restarted the xperia c returned to the mode of manufacture but had not lost root. installed again and installed CWM and oh yes I could do the restoration. I think we missed explain this detail .or is it wrong steps?

Phones usually use EMMC which is a cheaper/slower solution to SSD
Ssd either refers to Ext SD Or some other partition

Since the phone automatically assumes the internal card is faster than the ext SD (when 4k recording, a message comes up prompting to select internal memory for saving as it won't work on slower cards) I think it's safe to assume that SSD is internal. If not it's definitely not ext SD as I always have it checked and never lost data on my ext SD. I think with the wave of tech in phones getting more and more faster internal memory chips are included.

Sorry to resume this topic but eventually: does "SSD" checkbox wipe internal SD memory ?
i can't remember what i did last time i flashed a new firmware and i would like to avoid wiping and copying back everything (photos, music,...) in the internal sd. I tried to extract the related .sin file but it can't be extracted like the others
EDIT: as DIAG, PERSIST, APPS_LOG appear as partitions in TWRP recovery (you can backup them) and USER_DATA .sin writes folders and files in /data partition (you can extract them with ext2explore), i suppose SSD wipes internal sdcard (SSD.sin 2KB cannot be extracted).
EDIT2: i checked all of those entries, flashed the firmware update and my internal sdcard got wiped. So probably SSD wipes internal sdcard as speculated
Annoyed but at least i got an answer
