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

total 4 gb available as whole

@Dark4Droid @bond devs i remember when i bought a110 it had inbuilt sotorage in partition i.e. 256 mb and 2gb then i updated the phone to v2 ics then the storage became 1gb and 1.5 gb
my query is if this partition can be done like that then why cant we allot all 4gb as one storage is it possible

Buddy you must have observed that out of this 4gb only 2.5 gb is available to the user and the rest is allotted to system, cache and data partition.
So there is no way through which you can get a whole 4gb as single partition.
To know more about space occupied by different partitions write this command in terminal emulator.
df /cache(for cache)
df /system(for system)
And so on...
Hope you get it

Good question

BRO MAY BE HE WAS TRYING TO SAY WHY CANT WE COMBINE PHONE STORAGE(SD) OF 1.05 GB AND INTERNAL STORAGE 1.48 TO GET 2.5 GB AS INTERNAL STORAGE ,AS A WHOLE ... SINCE WE DONT USE INTERNAL SD CARD AS PRIMARY , I DONT FIND A REASON Y CANT WE DO THIS SO THAT WE CAN INSTALL MORE APPS !!!!!! PLS REPLY WHETHER THIS IS POSSIBLE TO DO !!!!!! CHEERS :good:

Yes it is possible but i don't like messing up with partitions because i have enough space for my use.
You can also swap internal by replacing voldf.stab file located in etc with the edited one.

[Q] HELP! Micromax Unite 2 | Data not geting saved on internal memory

Hello!
I am using Micromax Unite 2 with Official ROM (Read Back of my own phone) (ROOTED)
Recently i have Upgraded back my Firmware to Official one, before that i was using
My Phone Rio Lite Jelly Bean on my phone. Everything was fine till then.
After i revert back to official Firmware on my UNITE 2, i am not able to download any data o my phone memory.
I have Repartitioned my internal memory as to get more App storage space. in setting whether i select Internal Memory or External SD card
my data is getting downloaded on my EXTERNAL SD CARD only.
after searching on this topic over internet i came to know to switch internal memory with external modifying vold.fstab
but i cant find it in my ROOT folder.
Please help me out of this !!!

did you flashed the stock ROM or you restored the Previous Backup you had ?
Is it 4GB or 8GB version ?
If possible try to Re-partition for once using the EBR files from kiran anto, See the video in my signature for links.

I have Flashed the STOCK ROM from SP Flash Tool.
its a 8GB Version.

its certainly mis-match of blocks.
try flashing new EBR files of any size and see if it gets fixed.
There are posts elsewhere that stock ROM available elsewhere was having incorrect memory blocks mapping and even lead to a Bricked Device.

Repartitioning Micromax A110

Hello mates. after a lots of guide searches i finally learnt how to repartition your Micromax A110. So i have made two flash files to partition our Micromax A110. First one is to make System partition 768 MB and Cache partition 256 MB, Fat and Data partition are stock ones. The 2nd file makes System partition 512 MB, Cache partition 55 MB, Data partition 3GB and Fat partition 2 MB. 2nd file is useful if you are upgrading your device to android KitKat as Fat partition is not mounting in Micromax A110 running on KitKat as of now. File name of both files also contains the partition size details. Plaese follow the proper procedure to avoid freezing your device.
Instruction :-
1. Take backup of your data, system and boot in recovery mode.
2. Flash the file in recovery mode ( i recommend TWRP ), don't reboot device yet.
3. Reboot the device in recovery mod again and do a wipe data factory reset.
4. Now wipe all remaining partitions manually (except sd card).
5. Now flash any rom u like to, or simply restore the backup.
6. If all goes well, you can reboot your device now.
Note :-
1. You don't need to flash both files, just flash one which u like.
2. Don't forget to backup before flashing the file.
3. Fat is referred to internal storage of device.
4. Feel free ask questions.
5. Hit thanks if i helped you.
Happy Partitioning !

do we have to do both of them???

ty will this solve the problem of less internal memory n not able to install so many apps on kitkat

Yes sure
Yes bro this will fix your problem for sure, 3gb is enough for internal memory and installing apps.

No bro u don't need to use both files, use which one you like. Both of them partition the memory in different sizes.

I'm pretty sure this isn't due to ram, the problem is caused by low power gpu. We can't load injustice. But I found that gpu performance was a bit better on kitkat rom, so upgrading your phone to kitkat might solve the problem.

any kitkat rom which can get my external sdcard to work as well. since dragonpt rom dont support external sdccard

who says it dose'nt support external sd card. i used this rom and it works flawsless. only internal storage isn't mounting, but it also have emulated internal storage. so the rom uses data partition as apps installation and internal storage as well. so the 2nd file will partition your data as 3gb, thats good for superdragonpt's rom. it does support external sd bro.

take a look
u can confirm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/micromax-a110/development/rom-mmx-a110-t2972561

the only support of external sdcard i got was saving pictures and nothing else. the app and its large data wouldnt transfer to external sdcard. that why if i tried to install large game like spiderman or injustice it wouldnt install due to space shortage.
so which this partition i can access my external sdcard right. as i would like to use 4gb atleast of my external sdcard to install my app n its data. maybe i will later get 32gb sdcard for a newer phone.

storage swap patch
there is a storage swap patch availble, but i have not tested it on current version of rom kitkat v1.1 i mean. u can give a try to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57010440&postcount=193

thx but i need to know if i change my sdcard from 8gb to 16 or 32gb in future, what method i must do, or how to revert back as well.
and thx u for all the help

bro u don't need do any sofware changes if u want to use a new sd card. Simply just remove your old sd card and insert new one, that's it
