hello everyone,
i got a little question.
i'm gonna buy a 16 or 32 gb micro sd card pretty soon, but is there a possibility to use the external sd card as internal storage? so that way it is easier to install apps on it,because now i first have to install them on internal storage and than move which gives me alot of problems at the moment. so is there a tweak or something to make the phone assume that the external sd card is internal storage to?
thanks in advance,

try and search for m4uik app2sd method i think it may help you but i don't knew about what u said
Should see the following topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317362
I recommend install "Mini tool partition wizard" and try with video made for wwenigma:

and good luck and thanks to wwenigma for the video, and developers but ours GT540 would be dead
i knew about the swap thing, but that's not really what i mean, thanks anyways. and app 2 sd is not what i want, i can already install apps on my sd card, but i want my phone to use the sd card as internal space. is there any way to do that? i saw it for other devices, but i didn't see it for our gt540 yet. i may have missed it though so thats why im asking.
like link2sd ????
thats not entirely what i mean, but its getting there , thanks.
what i mean: our phone has like 150 mb internal storage approximetly, i want to turn that into something like 4 gb by making the phone use the sd card as internal storage. my question is: is that even possible with the gt540? i saw that it's possible with other devices, but it seems like the solution are device specific so that's why im wondering if there is anything like that for the gt540.
I know what you mean but link2sd does just that.... partition and formant the sdcard to ext3 for use to install apps
alright, that i misunderstood that link2sd does. sorry guys and thanks
We all learn
just one more question. im doubting between ics and gb atm. for daily use im still on gb, but i may be switching to ics pretty soon. does link2sd work with ics?
I don't think so.....and ICS is in early development not good for daily use.

hey guys
is there a way to make the external micro SD card primary, and make everything download to it with out having to move apps to it manually...?
can understand why they would sell a tablet without a decent amount of memory...
I don't know how to move already installed apps to SD, but I think I have a solution for future installations of apps.
I have a special version of SpareParts that has an app2sd option and you can set that to external. Maybe this option is already working and you actually don't need SpareParts, don't know for sure.
WARNING: Some apps have widgets/persistent notification process or have a background process running. These apps should NOT be on external storage (microSD card)!
You will need to go thru each app and decide for yourself if it can be on your SD card!

maybe contacts oxidized or a bit dirty. take out your sd-card and look at its contacts - clean contacts should shine.

Thanks for answer, but i dont think so, because i still window phone 7.5 in my phone. Because rom android on sd? I dont known, no body take a question like me. I use rom android of boxmax v3.
Please help me!
You can't mount SD Card because Android is running off the SD card. It reads the data.img on the SD card as internal storage and doesn't detect any SD card (I think) so it won't work. Also, in future please use a proper thread title, 'Question' tells us nothing about your problem

Hmm i remember there being some sort of trick to allow one to still mount the SD card , this was on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 running Froyo , but i dont see why it wont work here . Maybe if you partition the SD card ? I cant remember exactly what it was i'll browse around over on PPCGeeks to see if i can find it

Pls help me.
I faced the same problem.
I'm using WP7.5 on NAND.
And Android 2.2 Sense on SD CARD.
Doesn't read anything from the sd card. Doesn't read my APKS etc..( I had massive data corruptions)
So i ended up removing Wp7.5 and reinstalling Android back.
SD partition of Android should be set to Primary which means you should have two Primary partition for WP7 & Andy.
you should see those in mini partition tool

How I Can Move My Apps ( Games Too ) To The SD, i Have A A500 With 8GB Internal Memory And This Is A Little Space To A Tablet, I Need Know How I Can Move The Apps To The SD
Thanks :good:

Apps2SD is not natively supported on HC or ICS tablets but there are some workaround using gl2sd for gamedata and link2sd wich involve a repartioning of your internal memory - never tried that one. Both needs root. You may try the forum search, there are many thread discussing this issue. I found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557810&highlight=apps2sd

You can also do this. The mod will swap your internal memory with your SDcard. You can use your SDcard as your internal memory. All your files/apps will be installed on to your SDcard instead of the tablet internal memory.

Under storage settings.
Shows me SD Card total space 116MB Available space 12.52MB. My SD card was a 32 gig class 10.
Internal storage 4.9GB
Available space 4.33GB
Also C7 will boot without memory card in it. My cousin helped me root it and we used the SD card to root it. According to him I should be able to take the SD card out and boot into the normal NOOK settings. This correct?
I am getting errors when I try to install things to SD. Tells me there is not enough room.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense still very new to this.
Thanks for the help.
First, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Application> and make sure Use internal storage is unchecked.
Then go to Setting>Storage and let us know about SD card, Internal and Additional storage values.

Sounds like you installed CM7 to the internal memory, not to an external SD card. that's probably why you are seeing the space available on internal memory, but not the SD card. There is Verygreens's method to install CM7 and CM9 to the external card, leaving the stock Nook ROM in place, but it doesn't sound like you used it. To get answers to most of your questions, go to Leapinlar's great information page here:
Leapinlar's Tips
Specifics relating to installing CyanogenMod on an SD card are in the second post.

Yes, I agree. It sounds like his friend set it up to install to SD by burning the image to the card, but somehow flashed the rom to internal memory instead. That would explain the 5GB internal space and 116Mb SD card space.
He needs to reformat the SD card to get the full size of the card available.

Well sounds like the stock nook interface is gone then. No big deal. Do I just reformat the SD card through the settings in android? The option states Erase SD Card. Would that be what I want to do?
Also not sure if this is related. But sometimes C7 wont boot when I have the SD card in. Take the SD card out and it boots just fine.
Well I grew a pair and did the Erase SD Card. Now it is showing 29.66GB.

LOL. Good job. Yes, stock Nook is gone. I can help you get it back if you want it, but most never miss it. The only reason people want it is for warranty or if they want to have kids books work.
Random side question but figured since I have ya here.
Any idea on a good note taking app for android? As in for school notes like during class?

It's possible, but you must be sure to never get the SD card ejected while the phone is on 'cause it'll be linked to the swap partition of your internal storage, and I don't know what could happen. If I remember, there is an app to link partitions, but i don't know how to use it. The only thing that I now is that you must format your SD card and make a partition table to make the swap partition.
