Hello,
after having discovered that the 2 internals Go found in the Streak were in fact an extra micro sd hidden inside the device, I'm dreaming of changing this card to a bigger one...
Imagine, one internal 32 Go card, plus an external 32 Go.... 64 Go of memory space user accessible.... wouldn't it be wonderfull ?
So my question is :
can we create under android a new partition that would be recognize as an user accessible space ?
in this case, we just need to copy the 2 Go internal memory card, containing system data, to a 2Go partition from a 32 Go µsd card, and creating another partition with the other 30 Go, that would be usable by user, to store music, movies and so...
what do you think of this ?
what version of android would be required for such an experience ?
boujou bien,
K.

Hallo everyone,
I just get my SGS and I notice that the memory structure is so defined:
- The internal storage memory (8Gb, but i see only 5,7) is called "SDcard"
- the phisical external Sd card is seen as a directory, called "SD" under the SDcard.
Now my questions are:
When I install big seized programs,e.g. Navigators, all the program data are by default stored in the internal memory, which is limited and fix (not expandable). I would install the navigation map on the exernal Sd.
Is this a problem of Android or just how SGS impemented it? Is it possible to make the external card be rocognised as primary SDcard?
- Why the internal memory is only 5,7Gb? ok 8Gb are theoretical but 2,3 GB less ....
Thanks
Bye
The reason it's so small is because the OS and it's apps have to go somewhere, also when Froyo is released you'll be able to install apps directly to the SD card but know that internal memory is much faster than an SD card so you may what to keep that in mind when you factor in what apps to install to SD.
Hallo Sebrina,
thanks for the answer, I supposed the 2,3 Gb were for the OS, in fact the space for application is 1,8GB, but I hoped the two memorys are separated.
So with froyo will be able really to install the app on the real Sd card, and not on the internal memory, whichist called "SDcard" by the os?
Thanks
bye

is it possible to re-partition the internal SD?
Hi everyone i'm trying to increase my acer liquid e310 (mini) (android 2.2) rooted internal memory.
I tested a application called link2sd for rooted phones but it asks me to make a ex2 partition I did that with a program called minitool partition:
Deleted the original partition (7.4 gb)
Created a new one priority of 6.4 gb fat32
And the second one 1 gb priority 1 gb ex2
But once I connect the sd card back to my phone it says something like sd card damaged please format or it says sometimes blank sd card with the format popup witouth format i can't do anything on that SD card
ANY HELP ANY TIPS?
thank you anyways
increase internal memory
-nobody seems to care about this memory problem.
-the android project keeps doing software with no support for small internal memory phones, earning good money for this
- the phone manufacturers continue do make good money from phones with small (150 mb) internal memory
My nook has 7.0.3 encore stable, 4 GB card, and I was wondering if there was a way to increase the SD card space in Android to greater than 39 MB.
On my computer, I did extend the partition, but the extended area shows up as the internal storage, and I need the SD card space for some apps.
thanks
R u running CM7 from eMMC or booting it off uSD?
Do pls indicate clearly
I am booting CM7 off of the uSD card
If so, you should have at least 110MB+ space on "boot", roughly about 1GB for /data and /system and the rest, probably 2GB+ left over, for your own use.
Use a tool such as Minitool Partition Wizard, to extend the 4th partition on your SD card all the way to the max. You should get roughly over 3 GB of space on a 4GB card when running off uSD.
what I'm talking about is the "virtual" SD card that android recognizes. I did extend the fourth partition, but the space for my stuff goes under internal storage. is there a way I can make some of that space go under SD card that android recognizes?
did you ever get an answer or figure this out? I have been searching for 2 days and cannot find info on which partition CM7 thinks is "the phone" for the purpose of installing apps. I get 2-3 on then it says I am out of space.
Yes, when I used a 32 gB card, the internal storgae partition was about one gb, and my SD card partition (inside android) was 28 gb
So I guess it would depend on the sizeof your SD card?
Thanks for this thread guys!!
Minitool partition allowed me to upgrade my 8Gb microSD to at 32Gb microSD.
Now I can REALLY load those PDFs, ebooks, and music onto my Nookcolor's Android C7.
i've searched here & even google but still no definite answer
i've downloaded quite a large sum of apps to see if the SD card changes in size but still the 200mb is there & the unformated one remains the same size, so i'm wondering where does WP7 save those data's?
Goodmorning
WP uses the phones internal and SD memory in a type of raid config. The data is stored on both phone and SD-card. The reason why you can only see a 200 mb. partition on the SD-card is that the data from WP is hidden on another partition on the card. The 200 mb. empty space is used as a "buffer" as far as I know but I could be wrong about that
Hope it helps!

Hi guys,
I got for my girlfriend s4 with broken SD slot so I have to stick only with internal memory.
As I can see from standard 16 GB is cca 8 GB free which is not too much. I would like ask if is somehow possible to resize storage to shrink partition which is allocated for system itself?
In case that this is possible are there known any problems (I read somewhere that system has after shrinking problem with Bluetooth)?
Thanks,
Stan
Personally, I would not take a chance with re-partitioning the memory.
The SD and sim slot are easily replaced on the S4 and the part is cheap from eBay.
One can resize the internal memory only on the GT-I9500, and only to about 11GB.
All other models have to make do with the microSD cards.
