Hey, i'm new to these forums and new to android tinkering indeed.
My phone is Xperia j and i was using .31 jb locked bl. My goal is to get .31 rooted and a ram file swap. I downgraded to 7.5. and rooted. After that i copied the .31 rooted zip to my sd card and my internal storage( sd card is class 10 8gb) and i installed CWM (exact version is cwm-sr13gx v6.0.2.7 as shown on my phone). After i run cwm from my phone and i try to "choose zip from card' i just get "no files found".
What am i doing wrong?
Try going to "mounts & storage" and manualy mount sdcard then choose zip from sdcard

I did try that but it the result was the same. I read your posts regarding this issue on a different thread. Well the ram usage is lower now that i am on 7.5 than .31 and i am rooted so i got that going for me. I will test it out more myself, but is 7.5 actually better( performance wise) than .31? I don't see any big ui improvments on .31. Thing is if i can't get CWM to work properly i won't be able to to a ram swap, or is there another way to do it?
Loads of question marks. :silly:
I don't see why CWM won't read your sdcard that normaly only happens if the sd is lower than a class 4. try and reinstall CWM. for better performance i would recommend AVD rom it is the fastest stock based custom rom. when you say you want to swap ram what exactly do you mean.

I want to create a extension on my sd card for my ram ( a swap file i understud it was called) like virtual memory on windows. I was going to install than rom later on( starting out on simpler things), but yeah i got stuck on the CWM issue.
Thats not swapping ram its swapping dalvik cache and does not really make much difference and you need a kernel that supports swap which stock kernels don't bro. have you tried another sd in your phone and check that it is formatted as fat32.

Oh snap!
Well that was a wasted friday night for me. If i can't do the ram extension thing then there's no point in keeping 7.5 root and i'll just go back to stock .31. Um, can i install games directly on my sd card w/o root?

Yes its fat32, i will try to install the AVD rom you made from another sd card, it sounds really good.
you can move apps to your internal storage with native apps2sd but not all apps/games support it. if you want to root jb .31 then see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366577

I have a question about my new T-Mobile G2x 2.2.2
I have a 16 gig sdCard (formatted as NTFS) The phone see's the sdCard fine as a 16 gig card. My question(s) are:
1) Is it ok to format the sdCard as NTFS or should I use Fat32 with multi-partitions instead ?
2) My phone seems to be installing apps and games to its internal memory, even tho I am telling it to install to my sdCard. When I run the program called App2SD which allows you to move your apps from the internal phone memory to the installed sdCard, it is showing me that I have 3 storage locations !
#1 - Main internal phone memory with 1.46 GB's
#2 - sdCard with 5.45 GB's ??
#3 - My real sdCard with 16 GB's
It is installing everything to that #2 internal (fake) sdCard.
I know the phone has like 6 GiGs internal doesn't it ? so why is it splitting it into main memory and some type of sdCard ??
I only want it to have the main phone memory and my REAL sdCard of 16 GB's.
Ok I know I am making this more confusing than it is, but I think you all understand what I am asking :O)
What is wrong here ??
Thanks so much!

It's just the way the phone is partitioned. Not much you can do about it unless you either root or install a cm7-based rom.
Even if you root, the solution isn't perfect and it breaks USB mass storage mounting to your computer.

Sorry I didnt make it clear. My phone is rooted and NvFlashed CWM 5.x
So what are my options now ? Also, what is USB mass storage ? I see it in the settings, but not sure what it is.

About the best you can do is to swap the mount points of your internal "sdcard" and your actual removable sdcard. You do this by editing the /system/etc/vold.fstab file. You can't rename the mount points to anything other than what they already are (/mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD) but you can swap them. So then your removable sdcard will be /mnt/sdcard and your internal "sdcard" will be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. Its not exactly accurate but at least all of your partitions are usable and your removable sdcard is used as your actual sdcard.
As for it breaking usb mass storage, when you plug your phone into your computer via USB it gives you a notification on your phone that says USB Connected. Normally if you select Mount then your sdcard is mounted to your computer and so you can browse the files on it. With the stock rom if you change the mount points of the SD cards then it won't mount your sdcards to your computer.
Ok I understand. I just dont get why this is like this. I mean I buy a 16 gig sdcard, but I can not install anything larger then 5 gigs on this phone since it doesnt install or allow me to move install to a real sdcard. What good is a phone with only 5 gigs of installable memory ??? Am I missing something ?
All my other phones, you install a sdcard and you get full access to it for installs and storage !

I'm totally in agreement. The edit above will allow you to install to your micro sdcard. Your other option is to install cm7 or a cm7-based rom since they utilize the external sdcard properly.

Ok, well I just installed [ROM][Gingerbread 2.3.3] Weapon G2x 2.6 [Better Ram Management!][9.30.2011] .... but since I have the same issue I assume it must not be a CM7-based rom. May I ask what rom you use or recommend please ?
Thanks again !

That's correct. Weapon is based on stock 2.3.3. I personally switch between cm7 (recent nigjtlies releases) and Ultimate G2X (its based on 2.2.2). With Ultimate I have my sdcard mount points edited so my external card is my main sdcard.

Ok ... so with Ultimate ROM I can edit the vold.fstab and all should be good ?
Faux's Nexus AOSP rom is damn near perfect and uses the external sd card perfecty for what your wanting. I too think whoever decided to partition the internal storage that way is a complete idiot! I just use that internal sdcard for my mp3 and movie files and store backups and roms/kernels on my external along with installed apps/games to my ext partition using link2sd.

That's what I do but it might be a more hassle-free solution to try a cm7-based rom or, as suggested, Fauxs aosp rom.
Ok so i finally installed kyrillos' rom 9.3
now i've searched around for how to install apps in SD and came across the app2sd scripts which are a little complicated then i thought. How can i install apps in my SD , is there any easier way to do that? like an app?
Also i would be installing quite a lot of stuff like 100+ games / programs etc. Got a 16 gig card so will be installing lots of apps. Will that make the phone slower or something like that?
I would appreciate any help i can get
You can try Link2SD. It's an app which provide the same feature as App2SD. I never use it though.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=fr
There is also the G3MOD kernel which provides a customizable App2SD.
Thanks alot i'll try that out
Kyrillos already have hybrid app2sd which instal app directly to Ur sd card partition.. And consider it asp internal memory..
If u want to dump Ur data also in sdcard them instal kmapp and choose data also to be gone in sdcard... And enjoy

Hi!
I recommend you use Link2SD also. In options of the program mark checkbox "Auto link", then all newly installed applications will be automatically moved to SD card. Useful feature Link2SD is moving to SD widgets.
Thanks all of you guys.
I got apps2sd kyrillos' script working finally. The partition in the memory card was causing problems. Sorted out by making partition via the CWM.
working great now. Oh and btw there is an awesome ap called ZDbox which can help you move apps to the memory card aswell which is kinda neat too. But still i prefer kyrillos' awesome script which automatically does that. I had like 150mb and i install some programs and games and all it took was like 5 mb xD

What about widgets? Can you move them with Kyrillo's script to sd card?
can you give me a guide to what you have done? also on kyrilllos' 9.3, installed some apps and running out of internal memory. i think my partition isnt working ( 4gb card, 1gb partition) properly.....

The apps2sd makes the phone think that external sd partition is part of the internal drive, so i assume it should make it work.

Backup your data from SD card, then format it from the phone. Then reboot into recovery menu (CWM) and scroll down to miscellaneous and from there use "make a partition" command and select 1 gb
simple as that. Then use the instructions given by kyrillos on this thread to install apps2sd script

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

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.

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.
Hi guys,
My phone has root, SD card is 8Gb has great partition 1Gb for ext3, up rom Sense 5 EX Build#6-V1 of …. or JaggyRom_3.2.1 … that is ok
But few days ago when I up rom sense 5 v3: notification when phone stated is “Storage almost full”. I check Internal Storage: available space is less than 1Mb. I can’t action anything on my phone except call & message. Available space of SD storage is no problem
The first, I think the reason by rom, but when I up any other rom, the problem is the same. I don’t know what to do
Pls help me!
Sorry my bad english
You also need to install a memory script like mounts2sd or int2ext to make the phone move files from internal storage to the ext partition on sdcard. (Although newer ROMs come with built in support)
I assume you've already installed some such app, in which case you might have to configure it to move dalvik cache and data to external.

Although this is possible, and many noobs here will do it, I cannot advise doing this as the risks of hard-bricking your phone are very high.
For example:
You do the swap and then factory reset = Hard Brick
or
You do the swap and then Wipe Internal Data = Hard Brick.
Either way it's not worth it, even with a class 10 sdcard you'll notice how much slower your phone becomes.

I couldn't agree more. A friend of mine has done it with his Ace. Hard bricked.
What I did( Ihave a 32 GB SD card, so yeah), was shrinking my Fat32 partition, and making an ext2 partiton of 2,5 gb. With the help of Link2SD you can move 99% of apps to this partition. I have 110 apps, and my internal memory has 1,2 GB left, and my phone memory 551 mb.
No performance loss, and even a little (may be placebo, I don't know) improvement.
Partitioning your SD card may decrease the the life time, but I find it very effective and handy.
Have a nice day!

hello there sir, I'm interested in your way of doing this, so would you explain it in a more detailed way? I don't really get it...
what do you mean by 'shrinking my Fat32 partition' ?
and what do you mean by 'making an ext2 partition of 2,5 gb' ?
you also stated that your sd card is 32 gb, is this your internal SD card or external SD card?
what's the difference between link2SD from the other apps such as app2sd? and fyi i'm using titanium backup (not pro) and it CANNOT move the apps to my micro sd card (ext sd card)

We're talking about the external SD here.
Storage is accessed by partitions. See a partition as a little chunk of code that defines how the storage is used.
A normal micro SD without any modifications will have 1 FAT 32 partition.
What you could do is using a tool like Mini Tool Partition Wizard(Windows only), to shrink the existing FAT32 partition, so there is unallocated space left. Every size is possible, but the unallocated space has to be smaller than the FAT 32 partition. Please note that a Class 10 SD is preferred, or at least Class 6. Lower classes can't handle the app loading very well, and the apps will sooner start to lag.
Now you can create a new partition, since there is unallocated space left. You will use Ext2, Ext3 or Ext4, it doesn't really matter, but Ext2 works 99℅ of the time, so use that one. These are all part of the Linux file system, as your phone memory is. Your micro SD will act like an extra phone memory. But it will be slower, since flash will always be faster than the maximum R/W speed of a SD card.
(Root access is required)
You now have 2 partitions, one FAT 32 and one Ext.... Insert the micro SD card in the phone and download Link2SD from the Play Store. Open it and it will prompt you that it has detected a second partition. Grabt Superuser rights. Select the kind, and let it generate the needed information. Reboot and you're good to go! You can now move any user app to the external SD.
(Way more extensive tutorials are available. Just Google: how to use link2sd? I'm on my phone now, so sorry)
Oh, and the difference between apps like App2SD and Link2SD, is that with the former you can only move apps to the internal SD, and not the external, micro SD. The latter does give you this option, but root is required.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any question!

With Ext I mean Ext2, Ext3 or Ext4. These are Linux file systems. Since Android is based on Linux, Android recognizes this Et2/3/4 partition as a storage where it can write data. A little help from link2SD is needed, but it works fine. If you're still interested, follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
It's quite easy to follow.

A little help from link2SD is needed, but it works fine. If you're still interested, follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
It's quite easy to follow.

Hi,
You guys saying about hard brick possibilities. I had swapped my External with Internal. Now after seeing your posts I am thinking of reverting back to normal. Would it cause any issues ? I am not sure how much it would improve the performance though. I am quite sure the lag I have sometime is because of higher RAM usage [I have more than 120 apps installed including games such as PES (more than 150 MB) utilizing 8 GB external as Internal] . I am on Xperia Miro

As the others above me said, it's not advised. But if you really want to swap the memories check this post:

If you see an app like Superuser or SuperSU installed, it means your phone is rooted...Download any root explorer app and copy the vold.fstab file (in that thread ) in root/system/etc then reboot.

First, swap them as they were than flash stock ftf. It's highly possible to hard brick your J if you don't swap them back.
Good Luck.

Thanks for replying...Appreciate it ...but the problem is that someone else swapped the memories before...& I am not aware of the method by which he did that...nor I know about swapping them back..
I was hoping for some help on swapping back the memory to their original state..
