Hey guys,
Im not sure if this has been asked as I've looked as many places as I can. This is the first android phone that i had that uses only internal memory so im not sure how to check the partitions i have made using CWM recovery.
usually i would use adb shell and check my mmcblk0 but that obviously doesnt work.
When i used the partition SD option in CWM i did:
advanced -> partition SD card -> 1024 for the ext -> 32 for the swap
my question is, is the internal memory now partitioned to ext4? as i now have an internal storage or 0.92gb
also if i wanted to increase the partition can i just simply go back and do the process over again? except chose 2048 and etc?
you cant repartition it. this isnt the G1 where you need a
ext2/3/4 partition
swap
hd space
the NS is:
0.98 GB Internal App Space
13.31 GB of USB Storage
1.71 GB reserved for Android OS
other phones have:
internal + sd card space. If this is the case, it follows the same format as the NS BUT the sd card is expanded space for USB storage.
thanks for the reply zephik, so CWM's partition tool shouldnt be used? or it just doesnt do anything for us.
because i now have:
total storage:13.31 GB
internal storage:0.93 GB <-- instead of 0.98
im currently downloading gparted to see if i can check what CWM has done. and perhaps getting rid of the 32mb swap if its not needed

I would just straight up stay away from it. I remember on the Vibrant, "partition sd card" would semi-brick your phone because it would attempt to repartition the internal sdcard (which is what we have) and to fix it would require using Odin.
You also probably have 9020A, I have 9020T so it could be partially different. Swap is not needed.. at least not on 2nd-gen Android phones and above.

OK cool, its good that i didnt get a semi brick from this then. From what i can tell CWM didnt do anything if the total storage is still 13.31 and didnt modify anything on the internal storage as it is still 0.98 ( used up 57mb of it thats why it shows 0.93) still a bit interested as to if the swap got created or not

Device has 16GB.
2GB dedicated to internal (phone)
14GB is recognized by the system as "SDCARD"
any micro SD card you insert is refer to as "external_SD"
Thanks ,, but how can i make the internal to be more than 2 GB ?? cuz it will be full after one week i will install more programs

You cannot. The system is design that way.
New programs are usually installed on the SDCARD.
Some system programs are installed on the internal when it boots up.
If you go to /setting/application/manage and list all programs, you have a list of programs that all installed.
touching each program will show where they are stored. If you want to move them, you can move to internal(phone) or USB(SDcard/external).
Programs that are installed internal or phone will boot up first. The more you have, the longer boot time.
Some application manager from market will let you choose where the app is installed.
^^ thanks ,, now i got the idea
Hi
Yes i'm a noob but i have searched for some time now but i can't find a "right" answer. To be honest i'm not sure what to type in to search - tried"increase memory", "increase hard disk" ...
I have this phone but it is limited by the number of programs i can install ... keeps saying not enough space
I have moved everything and anything to my SD CARD but still it needs more memory or space or ??
SO does anyone know how to increase the size of space so i can install more programs on my phone
I am using Android 2.3.5 and my SD Card is 32Gb
Apparently my phone blu studio 5.3" phone cannot be upgraded to latest jelly ice cream and sprinkles malarky

Have you tried to root it and see if app 2 sd will work? It will get you more room either search for an app2sd script to run in script manager or use link 2 sd app from the market

Many thanks for your response
If i buy a phone one has 4Gb ROM and the other has 8Gb rom
I presume i buy the bigger 8Gb ROM phone. Is ROM where all the programs are stored?? SO i can install more programs without running into "out of space message"

Well you can always press the thanks button bud
If by rom you mean ram then no this is only the virtual memory
If by rom you mean internal storage or nand than yes it will help
Or just use an ext 4 partition on sd card and one of my previous suggestions to increase you internal memory

Hi
i saw that im can incrase phone internal memory by a partition
how can i'm do it?
beacause im saw a tutorial on cm11 post
and how much partiton size i can choose?
because im saw that im can do 512mb partiton
and 1024 mb partiton
and if i making partiton the apps will removed?
If you create a partition all the stuff on you SD card will be removed.
512 MB should be enough for most people IMHO.
You can create a partition by using Partition Manager.

No probs
XDA is a global community and as long as your English is understandable you're good to go
That guide should work and yes a partition will allow you to install many apps.

From my experience if you want to partition your SD Card, it's best if you first backup all you SD Card data to other storage, and then partition it using Partition Manager or Recovery like CMW, and than you copy back your data to the SD Card. On some occasion (twice to be exact) I found that partitioning you SD Card using Partition Manager without backup and clean up/delete all partition before creating second partition will reasult in read only second partition on android.

I noticed that too.It rendered my SDcard unreadable on CM11.I had to use other phone running JB to format it.
Also doesn't partitioning memory card formats SD card before partitioning (Except gParted)

You meant external (sdcard-ext2) memory? Then follow @akiratoriyama suggestion. Internal memory /data partition is fix, 200MB. And it's dangerous to repartition, AFAIK.
