No, not really. If you have a very slow card then SD is slower. But if you are saying it is very responsive, then going to internal will probably make no speed increase.

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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaiAfQXUHiA
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.
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium
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?

Don't use it much for that, but Googling yields this:
Best note-taking apps for Android
Hi There .. actually I am just waiting for my GT2 .. but already I am wondering how the internal 16GB work together with a potential SD.
I do assume internal and SD will mount as drives on my windows pc. fine.
But what may I expect when I use titanium backup to free memory and shift some apps to sd .. will they really appear on sd .. or will they be on internal memory? Any way i can influence this?
Where will all the apps store their temp stuff?
I really would like to figure out which mem is best for what before I start-off.
Any tipp or pointer is appreciated.
shift you less used apps to sd, as this storage medium runs slower than the internal storage. You want your more frequently used apps to be able to load faster. This is the reason for moving apps to sd

What I understand from your reply is that internal 16GB memory is faster than SD. OK .. but can I decide to put apps on my internal memory (the 16 GB paritition .. I don't mean RAM) rather than put them on SD? I mean so that the apps are still installed and work .. just like with app2sd?
Is there a way to make apps automatically install to my SD card or do I have to do it manually? Also will apps that are on my SD card run slower than those on internal memory? It is a samsung class 10 card. Thanks

I have an UHS 3 micro SD card but when I use it with my current ROM as adoptable storage slows it down drastically. Was wondering if there's another ROM I can use with pixel launcher that would utilize the SD card faster
I am currently using RR 5.8.5

Hi,
can you give me a hint what you did to have adoptable storage enabled? Thanks.

Hi wings02760,
as far as I know the original Samsung ROM does not allow format as internal, so I assume you did soemthing before to enable that option? Or where did you find it to format as internal.
Thanks, Gescha
I have Resurrection Remix installed
I had the same problem, but I repaired it. I have RR too. Put your card to your computer and format it with Windows (I recommend full format, not fast). Then, you put your SD card to your phone and format it as an internal storage. If that won't work, I have no idea how to help you, except of buying another SD card.
