Hi all. I saw some great chances to repartition the Memory on some Android Tablets that use Internal Removeable microSD cards for their OS.
However, can it be done on a normal Tablet?
I Mean...
I'm getting a 7 inch Marvell10 (Marvel 800mhz) Android 2.2
256MB Ram and 2GB Internal Storage.
I WANT to resize the memory partitions so the APP section & Cache gets most of anything the system doesn't need.
IS THIS POSSIBLE? you can't remove the OS memory card in this.
If anyone knows how can you point me to a tutorial or pm the instructions?
I'd also need to know how to see what my sizes already are (and what space the system needs to remain).
MANY THANKS ! x7
I recently bought a new cell phone from a company called nuGen Kailash and the model is N-And1.
The company makes and sells cheap android devices in India. The android version is 2.3.6 with MTK6573 with 256 MB internal memory and 512 MB RAM and a 1 GHz processor. It comes with some generic shell on the stock android. Is there a way to root the device and use the external SD Card as internal memory or have a new partition the system would use to install the application while recognizing it as internal memory
3 Things
1. Can someone add an android x86 section because whenever i have a question or something i have no clue where to go
2. How can you add more memory to an android x86 because i have a 250 GB hardd drive and no other operating system except kitkat and i only got 9 apps installed and I'm already out of space and they aren't even big apps, when I was installing it I gave it the most memory i could (2048 MB iif I recall correctly), is there any way of using my availiable hard drive space as like an sd card
3. Since kikat removed the ability to move apps to the sd card how can i do that

I am going to ask very basic question regarding ROM in Android Device.
Searched for Android Devices and found as below (different devices):
1) Memory - 1 GB RAM, 4 GB ROM
2) Memory - 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM
3) Memory - 1 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM
because of ROM size, prices are different from one another.
Is it just the normal internal memory which they are labeling as ROM, or does it have a different purpose altogether. Because once phone is up and running the OS is loaded in RAM and not ROM.
If OS is installed in ROM, it may occupy 1 or 2 GB, what is the use of remaining space.
1) user can install app of his/her choice
2) app data storage
3) cache / delvik cache
3) anything else
if someone purchase with Memory - 512 MB RAM, 4 GB ROM, what approx Internal Storage he/she will have to install apps?
I would appreciate your help and response.
Regards.
Hey everyone,
I bought an offbrand tablet from eBay, model name Softwinner v11 or Aystar y3 (build number says its an Astar y3, so does build.prop , "About tablet" under settings says its a Softwinner v11), running a Quad Core Allwinner A33 CPU and KitKat 4.4.2, already rooted with Kingo Root.
When I bought it, I was told it came with 16 GB of storage. As I started it up, I imediately checked the storage to check if those 16 gb where really there. On the storage screen, under settings, it showed up as having 2 internal storage, one with about 0.98 GB of space and another one with 14 GB of space. Almost the 16 GB, but that wasnt the issue.
The tablet was writing app data to the 0.98 GB internal storage, leaving me almost imediately without storage space for apps. The other 14 GB of space remained completely untouched. After further inspection, I found that the other 14GB were being used as an internal sd card, mounted at /mnt/sdcard.
Now here comes the real issue. I was messing around with it, and remenbered that I could partition my SD Card to work as internal memory. I had done this sucessfully before in my phone, so I gave it a go on the tablet, completely forgetting the fact that I had no MicroSD card on the tablet, only internal memory.
Stupid as I was, I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236566http://
After doing step 1, I realized my mistake. Storage was completely broken. In MiniTool, it was now split between 2 discs, one with a ~10Gb partition called "POLARIS", in fat32, and another with a 2GB partition, which is unallocated.
Now, under Settings - storage, I still have 2 internal storages, except the second storage is now only 428mb and completely inacessible from Windows. DiskInfo only shows System, Data, Cache and RAM, but no internal memory or SD Card.
ES File Manager shows 2 storages, one called "sdcard", with 428.06MB of space and another called "93_81" with 10.38GB of space.
In Windows, via MTP mode, the tablet shows up as v11. If I open it, there is an "Internal Storage", with 426 mb of space. Inside that is a folder called ".android_secure" and another called "93_81". Via USB Mass Storage nothing shows up.
Attempting to copy files over 428 mb to the root or to "93_81" results in a "file is too big" error.
Is there any way to fix this issue? If not, can I return it to how it was, with 1 GB + 14 GB of storage?
