I know there's a thread here on it already, but it's a year old and I don't have enough posts to use the 'dev' section...
Is there any way yet to swap internal storage with SD memory on 4.1.2 and up? I'm stuck w/8gb internal otherwise..
thanks!

Hello Everyone, and thanks in advance.
here goes...
I have a Galaxy S running JK3 with an 8gig external SD.
When you move apps to SD does Froyo move them to the internal SD or External SD?
My external SD is set up with a fat32 partition only. Do I have to format my external SD with a proper ext partition? If so, can I just do that in Paragon partition manager?
Thanks for the help. I have searched, but the more I read the more I got confused.

LOL Apps are installed on internal sd, not every one has external sd and i know mine never came with one so id guess all my apps must of been on internal sd ...... with 3rd party apps you can sendem to your external sd.... From all reports since froyo this seems to be a thing of the past...tbh im not to sure why people moved then to ex sd in the first place theres plenty of room on internal sd

If you have a newer stock-rom (2.2.1, JPY,JS5) you can put some apps from the system memory to the internal sd (System/Application/Manage Application). The errormsg is because you run low of system memory.
bye
sorry but im really confuse i got this
External SD
total: 7.41Gb
available: 6.33gb
Internal SD
total:5.78gb
available: 5.70gb
then there is this internal phone storage
1.63gb available
whats the difference on internal SD and the internal phone storage? is there any way we can merge the internal sd and internal phone storage. coz what i notice is when im installing apps it goes on the internal phone storage and external sd but the internal sd doesnt change even a thing

When i remember correctly is the internal sd some sort of extra memory for your phone. On the internal phone memory is the android system and space for some apps.
It is not possible to merge the mem. You can free mem when you put the apps from the internal phone mem to the internal sd.
bye
ah so it means that when u transfer the installed apps on sd it goes on internal sd not external sd one?

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:

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.

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

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.

Hi,
Xolo q700 has 4GB internal memory bifurcated as ROM+Internal Storage+Phone Storage, with Internal Storage ~1GB and Phone Storage ~2GB
Most of the time, I use SD card instead of Phone Storage and I am finding that the free Internal Storage has come down to ~60 MB. I can't install many apps because of this.
I was trying to see if we can re-partition the Internal Memory to have more Internal Storage by getting space from Phone Storage. I don't want to use Link2SD because I can't run most apps if I remove the SD card. Also don't want to keep apps data on SD card.
I came across many threads, but by far [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240954] looks the simplest.
Anyone else has done something similar to their q700/q700i?
Admin/Devs, can you help us?
Thanks,
