You need a class 10 that matches your internal storage. 16 or 32 gb.
it's worth a shot seeing if any of those work, it's not like you're going to break anything. Report back if you can get it to work.

Read and write speed.
The whole idea is to trick the phone into thinking it's your internal SD card, so you need a very fast one to make it think it's internal.

Does anyone know how to unify the Internal SD Card partition? My G2x (running Bionix rom) is showing me 3 storage spaces, i.e., it is showing 2 partitions for internal SD Card & 1 for external SD Card. I wanna know if I can unify the 2 partitions of my internal SD Card so that I can ACTUALLY move my apps to my external SD Card. Any help will be appreciated.

What is the reason that custom tw roms do not support exfat format for the sd card? The phone does natively support it, what was removed or modified?

Ah. It's just funny that i got that same card and never formatted it. Just plug and play on stock root. But when i go to a custom tw Rom, as soon as it boots it says"sd card is safe to remove" and reinserting gives the same message.
I thought that maybe it was because it came formatted exfat. But now I'm just lost as to the reason. Is there a way to see what format it is formatted in? Just curious as to what my issue is before i just nuke the problem by formatting it "fat"

Ok, so from what i gather. These cards are most likely shipped with exfat. Which explains why people complain about clockwork mod. I plugged my card right in and was pleased to see it worked out of box, but i also noticed cwm would not mount it. No big deal because people can flash from internal memory. But i flashed beans the other day and exfat was ejected. Also i read in other custom Rom (touchwiz) that people need to format fat32. I guess that's fine, but i would like an explanation to help my understanding.

Hey Guys. So this phone is really great,the only problem I have with it is the internal memory size. Any advice on how to swap the internal memory with the sd card? Thanks in advance.
Please guys I really need your help.
You cannot swap internal and sd card storage, but you can make the SD card act as internal storage by partitioning it

Yes I'm rooted and I have a CM9 rom.
Alright. I personally used Link2SD to gain internal memory, although there are others.
I used this guide for Link2SD (it explains everything!) http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/ it was written for xperia phones, but it is universal.
CM9 SHOULD support EXT4, but to be safe I would use EXT3, or even FAT. These shouldn't matter, but I like larger numbers. I also partitioned about 1 GB, which was enough for me, but you can always do more (don't overkill)

This one.
In the same thread there is a flashable zip that swaps between the internal&external sd cards. So you can theoretically get a 32GB microSD and have that act as your internal sd card while having the real internal memory act as a 1.5GB external sd.
OK I was flashing the paranoid android ROM a few months back on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 and I lost half of my compacity I am the type of person who downloads watches lots of movies and listen to alot music I would really like to have it back. any suggestions on how to fix it please hey buddy help anyone okay
Have you been making nandroid back ups ? How much is under "Misc" ? Looks around 700mb ? ( but the yellow maker is covering it up ):laugh:
Looks to me you need to do some house keeping to tidy up the storage space, easy enough to do.
What recovery are you using on the device ?
you've got OVER 2 gigs of app data folders on the internal there, open your file browser and look for folders of apps you've deleted and delete them, also remember YOU HAVE A MICROSD SLOT, you can add more storage for music and movies.
do any of your streaming apps keep a large "buffer", could try clearing app data.

that doesnt explain why my 8gig tab 2 only has 4gigs usable
Its the system partition that eats up the rest, as far as I know. That is why only just under
5 gigs is available. The settings menu doesn't count the system partition as usable space.

That's just the way it is. Kind of like when you insert a 32gb micro sd card you automatically lose nearly 4gb down to 29.7gb.
If you've been making backups chances are the cwm folder has a nice size file well over 1gb

I don't think trays how it works when I frost got it I believe the system file was around .5 to 1 gig maybe
So I doubt I would lose 4 almost 5 gigs from it
And I have and 8 gig microSD card now but I would love that 4 gigs back thats 3 movies...
Also I deleted a bunch a system files that no one ever needs so I have more free space
but damn I need it all back

Rooting has basically nothing whatsoever to do with the problem. Why does everyone think that just cause u rooted ur phone/ tablet now becomes mentally retarded?
I would look around in the system files. I had the same problem, there was this file idk how the hell got there and was like 4 gigs. Just try to locate the file and delete it.

Pretty sure you can go to a folder browser then couldn't u sort all them by size by bigger sizes descending. So what i mean is the biggest files would show up on top. Then you could look around and see if one of the bigger files is not needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970961 here is another thread talking about pretty much the same thing. I agree with one of the posters, about just swapping the storage with the external sd card. I haven't personally had great luck with android 4.2.x, but there is a great script for p311x on xda that swaps them on ics and jb 4.1.x just fine. Its what I use, and also why im not running anything past 4.1.2.

You could delete all the files you want from the system partition and it still wouldn't become usable.

Not using a custom rom or kernel just yet... Just a bog standard Nexus 5 right now. Why doesn't it just mount itself with the stock kernel/rom? All the tablets I have used with Android v4.x.x already do?
