Is there a way to make the internal storage more usable after doing a data2sd (and even a rom2sd) install? I understand that if the card is pulled the tab will want something to fall back on, but it need not be huge. In my case I have under 6 gigs available from internal storage, and that just seems like a waste. There is a link to my old internal storage space I found as well, but is is separate and hard to get to. Anyone have any ideas? (and yes, I have been searching. Everything I find is on partitioning the external SD)
Thank you for all of your excellent work on improving the TF700!

So I managed to get a ROM going on my tab that came today, and all is pretty good so far. One question tho; I went to my settings --> SD card usage or whatever its called and my internal memory is showing 1.79GB total space.
My SD card is 16GB and that's showing up fine as 14 or whatever FREE, since I partitioned at 2048/0.
I don't get why the internal storage is 1.79. Shoudn't it be 16GB or whatever since that's how much this tablet has? I'm confused.
Thanks!
I may be wrong on this (Developers, please correct me if I am wrong) but I think the 2GB is reserved for the Android system and the remaining space is what you can use for apps, etc.

if thats the case, why won't it show the remaining 14G or whatever hmmm
The 16gig is divided as 2gig for apps and 14gig for storage (/sdcard). After format and overhead you get what you see.

So how do i mount my internal? Im only able to mount my microsd card..
Actually I take that back. I can only mount my internal storage to my computer but not my microsd card. I have no idea how to do that...
That's normal behavior for the gtablet. There is no built in method for mounting the external SD to your computer.
My one s shows I have a totally of 9.93gb of internal storage. A long way from 16gb. Is it possible to repatriation to gain more space?
Not as of yet. I believe we need S-Off to resize internal partitions. There is a lot of system space and app space that could be gratefully resized and given to sdcard; any bit helps when we only have ~10gb of space max...
Patience, young padawon.
I changed my /data partition to be able to be "READ" by anyone, and I put movies on there since I have like 2 GB free on that. There's also a good couple of GB free on /system but obviously not gonna put stuff on there since it gets deleted whenever a new ROM is flashed.
Hey, I just got a 16gb Verizon s3 and rooted, unlocked boot loader, installed liquid smooth v2 jellybean rom, and I installed maybe 20 apps I always run with on my phone and then tried side loading swype and flash player but my phone is saying there's not enough memory and I need to clear some space. The intended phone shows the I've used maybe 500mb of my 12gb internal capacity and I went to try to move the downloaded apps to the sdcard to see if that might help, but I don't even see an option in settings>apps to move the apps to the sdcard. Used to be a toggle switch to move to SD or back to phone if you wanted a widget to stay on internal memory.
Anyway, I've been googling and trying to figure this out and I can't. Before I rooted and flashed I had all of these apps on my internal storage with no low memory warnings. Can anyone explain why the entire 12gb internal memory is not available to me for apps? And how do you move apps to sd on the s3? I saw in rom brower that my real sd is actually called sd ext and the folder called sdcard doesnt seem attached to my physical sdcard at all but maybe part of the rom's memory? I don't want to always have to move apps to sdext if its even possible, I want the 12gb available to me, not only 500mb of it, and the option to move to SD would be nice for some games and apps but I also want to be able to keep certain apps on phone's internal memory.
Thanks for any help with this!!
Is the card actually full? AFAIK GS3 is kind of weird -- the internal memory will be partitioned such that you'll see the "user" partition as /sdcard, and everything gets saved here, including apps and nandroids. In Settings -> Storage, if you click the internal "sd", it should bring up a sorted list of what's using the most space.
Personally, I'm trying to figure out if there's a good way to utilize an external sd card.

I tried uploading screens on op on my phone but when clicking choose file to upload nothing happened. On my phone in settings it says I have 11.54 of 12.05gb internal memory available and 17.35 of 29.71gb sdcard memory available.
I'm on this ROM: liquid-jb-v2.0-rc5 .. its 4.1.2
I have always liked liquids ROMs (and spjesters) but I might give cm10 a try later when I'm around WiFi and redownload all my apps and then try side loading again and see if I get same low memory error
Still not sure what the deal is with liquids rom but I switched to paranoid android jb rom and no problems with internal memory so far. I've used over a gb of memory on apps from market and sideloaded and really like the way the settings are laid out in 2 columns. only real problem with I've noticed is that for some reason Swype won't autospace in the stock jb rom so I switched to using opera for now
Hi all,
When I first got my moto g 3rd gen I found out the 8gb internal memory was way too little, so I added a 16gb SD card and adopted it as internal thanks to marshmallow.
Now I want to upgrade to a 32gb card but I'm worried about how the apps will be afterwards.
I was planning on moving all back to internal memory but of course I don't have enough space I only have 0.5gb there.
I'm not finding a smooth way of copying from the old 16gb to the new 32gb one and make it become the new adopted as internal
Any body has tried this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Basically, there is no good way to this if you can't get enough space on your real internal storage... Google hasn't made a simple way to do it, if your rooted you can do a TiBu backup of everything, swap card and restore it, but I seems like a PIA. If your not rooted, probably best to backup what you want, factory reset, setup like normal, then adopt and migrate data to the card. Not a good way but not much choice. At Android Enthusiasts on Stack Exchange, we haven't found a good answer either http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...data-from-an-adopted-sd-card-to-a-new-sd-card
how can I use more than 10 apps?
which twrp, app2sd, dalvik symlink can I use, bec their lack of reason of designing /data partition to 3gb? (64gb inside)
Assumed your device has slot for external SD-card and assumed your device's Android supports Adoptable Storage then you can extend Android's storage memory up to capacity of external SD-card.
Note: Android still installs the apps on the internal memory and dumps their data on the external SD card. So, you are deprived of installing any further apps if your phone has a scarcity of internal storage.
FYI: Once an APK got installed, you can delete the APK to regain storage space.
it does have 51gb more free space on that internal 64gb, so but im tryin to solve it with link2sd, and a 2partitioned external sd

You don't want to load and slow your CrystalSky down with much more than you need to fly. It wasn't exactly meant to be a tablet.

I bought it only for navigation in bright sunshine. because other tablets difficult to see, don't care about flying, it's too expensive

I installed a few programs regularly from appstore (also side loaded) then after they installed moved apps to SD card. Saved a lot of space on the Crystal Sky, but there are a few system apps that can't be.
