Link2sd app maybe?
(safer)
Or you can try vold.fstab mod we're using on many XPERIA's since ics but it's too damn risky(chances of hard brick)

[Q] Why is my android's internal memory so low?

My xperia tipo says that my total internal memory is 2.15gb. It also says that I have 1.40gb left. However, when I calculated the size of the folder 'sd card', which is my internal memory, using es file explorer, it is only 150mb big. What is going on? Where's the other 550mb?
Android system takes 200mb of memory also maybe when you installed/unistalled program phone didn't delete whole data. Try doing factory reset and beware you will lose all data. Backup them.

Help for Xperia e!!!

Pls can anybody tell if there is any way to install apps on external sd card????
As all mine apps are going to internal memory and it's running out....so pls help
Sent from my C1504 using xda app-developers app
There are 2 ways first: navigate /settins/apps then select an app that can be moved to sd then select move to sd card.this is called native apps2sd which just moves the bacic app files.
Second: partition your sdcard with partition wizard choose what size to make the second partition and format it as ext4. Then down load link2sd app from play store then open it a popup message will appear choose ext4 then if you have done everything right then it will say "mount scripts created please reboot your device to mount the second partition" then there you go extra memory for your apps if you go back to link2sd press menu then multi select then choose which apps you want to move then press actions then create link then the apps will be moved to the second partition. and from settings you can choose auto link which will auto link newly installed apps. This is the best as it moves all app data files to the second partition which leaves you system memory free and fast.
Make sure you backup your sdcard to your pc before you try the second option as it might erase all your data i am not responsible for any loss of your data every thing you try on XDA is by your own choice and at your own risk!!
Ive got a better idea for you. Just do vold.fstab trick and youll get bigger internal mem. You can even use your 32gb microsd as internal and do link2sd to the microsd at the same time.

Both needs root. For vold.fstab, you just need to mod the text inside the file. Need easy root method? Try unlockroot.

Use this. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f77twwjxhimocxv/ishuaji_root_sj.exe Its a chinese rootnig app. Just click the big green button. Install ADB Drivers first. Search universal adb driver. Then click next button (the layout will be>>previous, next, cancel) like the usual installer. I just used this against a hard to root Alcatel One Touch Glory 2S 4010x and able to get root.

i have 16gb sd....so i want to swap it....can you tech me how to swap?
No, that is for system. Check your storage menu, you only have internal (the 150mb one) and the 16gb microsd only. If you really want swap, check darktremor app2sd, but there are lots of work to do, and its kinda hard to do it on mtk phones (this alcatel is mtk). If you pick link2sd, its much safer. Just need to partition sd card into 2 (fat32 + ext2).

owh okay thanks
already done by link2sd...
Please anyone direct me to vold.fstab method tutorial which will work on Xperia e
Thanks
Sent from my C1504 using xda app-developers app
try mine...
replace your vold.fstab then reboot...
do backup your original one before use this...
ps: you need sdcard with class6 or more (class 10 would be better)
and don't worry about your ext2 partition, it's works as well...
enjoy...

[Q] link2sd problem!

The internal storage in my xperia l is nearly full.
And I want to use link2sd to increase the memory.
But whatever I partition the sd card to ext2,3 or Fat32 it would cause the boot loop until I remove the sd card:crying::crying:
Does anyone have the solution?
The sd card is Kingston 32GB C10.
Thanks for your answers!
You can use FolderMount app from market to move the biggest files in sd-card,like gameloft game data.I got 6gb of game data in sd-card and im playing games without problem(and my internal is on 30%).

Why don't you check my thread . it'll help you will all your memory problems.
if you still have any query, do ask me.
Link2sd isn't a very good way of linking memory.
You can use titanium backup to move apps in sdcard by force.

you can use script to move app to sd card...it is easier and not using much ram and you don't need to partition sd card to use it

I tried to use FoulderMount to move apps to sd card.
But it could only move application data, not all of it.
And I couldn't find "how to use titanium backup to move apps " in your thread.

Yes, folder mount is made to transfer data especially for games which have game data in Gbs or Mbs. So if your game application is 24mb and game data of 2gb, you can move only 2gb data but not 24mb with folder mount.
You can check app2sd which moves app to SD card if application supports.Check it at Google play.
Titanium backup requires root(hack) to work. If your phone's rooted, you can transfer app to SD regardless if it is supported by application or not.

I use this on my xperia l (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368262) it uses script and only run on startup...it is better than link 2 sd becouse link 2 sd run all the time and uses more ram and you will encounter lag in big games such as modern combat 4 and gangstar vegas...the script mount your sd card as internal memory and internal memory as sd card and it is also woking on latest xperia l firmware (android 4.2.2)

I'm sorry but I can't help you ^^'
so if someone find a solution, tell it !
Seems like nohow. LOL. It appears by now that switching memory is NOT an option, so all those, suffering, use FOLDERMOUNT app!

as much as i know this can be done using text editor to edit System/etc/vold.fstab
but i don,t know how.
Perhaps we can unmount the internal SD, so that Android only sees the external SD and uses it for all.
The internal SD could be used to extend system memory or as temporary space, swap partition?
I don't know good about Linux. So perhaps it's not possible.
Sony claims that they unified the data partition (where all apps are stored) with the user partition. So I don't know if it is THAT easy to unmount the internal storage. One trick, though, that is around for a bit of time is to swap the mount destination in /system/etc/vold.fstab.

playstore problem is not fixed but i wanna tell you don,t waste your time on app,s that have to mount data like gl to sd or foldermount do
use obb to sd xposed module you just have to copy obb to external sd apps can dettect it. you can have obb in internal or exernal just by copying no need to mount.
and i am still waiting for a solution of playstore if anyone know how to make xposed mdules please make a module to force playstore to detect external sd card free space and download additional obb files to external sd.
partiotion
You should see this link http://rootmyandroid.org/increase-internal-memory-phone.html
This works for me, still like a charm

Click here I created a simple guide
it's very easy
You can do it by obb on sd ( xposed. Module)

A question about external sd card.

Hello guys, after a bootloop i flashed my stock rom (xperia zr)
i wanted to know most of my apps were on external sdcard so is there any way to find out where are the apps on sd so that i can just remove the folder and free up space as its un readable now.
