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?)
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:

Don't forget to hit thanks if I've helped!
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.

Hi there,
is it possible to recovery the deleted data from the internal memory? I found a way for SD but i need some one for the internal. I tried with USB Mass Storage but it not works with the internal memory.
Edit: If its possible without root access
Saw some people posted about using SD as internal memory, but what about a tv box. recently acquired a Tronfy x2, H3 ,1GB/8GB. My game files will be installed to the external memory instead of the internal storage as small as 8 GB. I tried to use clockworkmod recovery 4.0.3. but it does not work, can anyone give me some advice on how to build the SD card into internal memory?
