Hello i use [JB][28-12-2012] CyanogenMod 10 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.1.2) this rom becomes slow milestone stock in a modern and fast!
but I have a problem, I noticed that the photos taken, it applications can be installed in the internal memory. It is not seen as memory archive. Why is that? Confirm?
Usually on the smartphone's internal memory is seen as external memory of the masses "sdcard" does not happen here and therefore does not create the folder "Android / App"; problem of the phone or the ROM?

I'm using the same rom too, and according to command "df" most of the 8g internal mermory is dedicated to /data. Guess there are some limitations on hardware for not allowing mount the internal memory as an internal "sdcard" directory. Some one can confirm this?

This phone has 8GB of memory (or 16GB for the other model). Can anyone tell me if all of this space is available for application installation? (excluding the space required for the system files etc)?
I thought I read somewhere that only 1GB was available for application installation while the rest could be used to store normal files like on the SD Card. If it is entirely available for application installation then I'm probably ok not upgrading the memory card as 8GB is plenty big enough for what I need. Even if it is limited to 1GB for application storage, this is plenty big enough for what I need.
TIA
1.8GB free for applications installation in the Galaxy S.
I assume the rest is used for storage space of user files like an extension to the SD card?
Correct.... It's an ideal dumping ground for Photos, Music or whatever takes your fancy.
I'm confused, after the 1.8gb where is the other 6.2gb?
The ~6 gb are called Internal SD card or something similar, and is available as storage for music, pictures or whatever you want basically.
Are you aware that with Android 2.2 (froyo) applications will be installable onto the memory cards.
yeah i never really put much on to the onboard memory...i install my apps onto the storage card

Pray tell how you are managing to install to SD Card as to install to other than internal memory you need Froyo on your system.

Strictly speaking, developers need to update their application before it can be installed onto the SD Card. I'm guessing a lot of the less maintained applications won't be updated and thus won't be able to be installed on the SD Card.
Not many applications fall in this area but I'm sure people have a few apps that work as is and haven't been updated for ages.
Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there any Rom at the moment that uses the Internal SD memory ?
I really don't see the point of having an external SD Card just for the camera (and maybe other apps like the market), when we have a 2GB Internal Memory :S...
For me this is the most important reason why I can't use a Custom Rom since i don't have and SD Card free (I have only one and I need it for my G1 :S)...
Isn't there anyway to fix this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa
Void and most 2.2 ROMs do this I think

I've never tried Void :S... But I know that Oxygen and CM7 don't use the Interna SD as an SD Card for the Market, Gallery and Camera :S...
The only one that allows using the internal memory as an SD Card is the Miui Rom that I've been using for a while and I really enjoy it (even if I prefer an Original Android Rom) ^^
Oxygen and MIUI are now using internal storage also.
Well.. Oxygen can't connect internal memory to PC so it gets hard to transfer files (But you can acccess HWUserData within the phone).
MIUI just flat out won't read HWUserData but will allow PC to connect to it.
Because of the issues above I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16371582&postcount=376 until my SD-card gets to me through the mail.

All roms that uses HWUserData do not allow to use the Camera or the Album without an external memory card :S....
The tweaked stock ROM I linked saves images properly. Use that if you are looking for a decent, stable ROM that allows for use of internal memory properly.
In miui you can use the internal sdcard, you need to set it in x5 settings.
Also you should be able to access it normally from /HWUserdata and also /mnt/emmc even if you've got it set to external. The apps aren't designed to work with two sdcards though, with the exception of the gallery app.

Could you tell me where i can find the settings? It's not under SD card settings or About Phone sections.
Update: Damn I feel stupid. It was an app under homescreen and I completely missed it while I was bumbling through the settings menues.

And this is Why I am using MIUI and I love it ^^
EVERY 2.3 ROM uses internal, you can choose this in settings. Best for me is CM7. Oxygen is buggy cause it don't mount internal memory to windows after attaching usb, so CM7 is best for battery life and overall
Hello,
Couple of days back I have bought Micromax Canvas 2 Colors A120 with 8 GB ROM. It runs on 1.3 GHz MT6582 Quad Core Processor, 1GB RAM and runs on Android v4.4.2 (KitKat) OS. The ROM is 8GB (as compared to 4GB in the earlier versions of the same phone).
However, in this excellent phone the application space is still limited to 0.98 GB.
I rooted this phone successfully yesterday and installed busybox. The
/[email protected] is mounted on /system.
/[email protected] is mounted in /data
/[email protected] is mounted on /cache
I am not sure of this but I believe that the I can expand the partition size of /[email protected], /[email protected] and /[email protected] onto the 8 GB ROM in some appropriate ratios. I already have a 32GB class 10 micro SD card attached so do not need the 8GB ROM for any other storage and if possible utlize this entirely in such a manner so that the entire ROM can be used for applications/data/cache/custom user file i.e if i choose to copy there.
Is there any way I can do that repartitioning on the filesystem (or dynamically expand the filesystems).
Please note I have already tried the Mt657xRepartition_EN.apk given at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37974360. It did not help.

Thanks for response Biswajyoti. I will try that. My A120 is with 8GB ROM, so I hope your 4GB ROM solution works with this. However, if you don't mind, I would like to understand a bit more here about how this re-arranging of space is being done. If you can give me some background on the working of the tool, it will be great.
Also, I understand there is a risk factor involved, but can I ask if the already installed apps/data will be affected in anyway. Basically if all goes well, do I need to reinstall any of the already installed stuff. All the apps which can be moved to SD card have been moved to the 32Gb external SD card and not the internal SD card. However, majority of the apps like facebook, what's app etc are installed on the system/app area.
No need to reinstall apps but you should make a backup of your internal storage before doing anything with your phone

Confirmed it works.
Thanks for your confirmation ......Now what is the amount you got as mass storage???

Hi all,
I'm running a Lenovo Ideapad A 3000-H, JB 4.2.2, kernel 3.4.5, running the build A3000_A422_011_022_140127_WW_CALL_FUSE (with phone function unlocked).
The pad has root, made with Framaroot.
Unfortunately, the internal memory on this sucker is only 2.4 GB and shrinks down to 1.8 GB when fresh from flashing with the Call_Fuse build.
The external SD card is a Class 10 chip, 16 GB (14 and change effectively).
I was trying to install the BG:EE on it to play (ah, the memories!), but it's a no go. The Play installer dumps the app to the internal memory, which is insufficient. There is an option in Settings > Memory to have the external SD as the default write memory, but still... the forced dump to the internal prior to installing the app. To cut to the chase - horribly annoing and prevents me from enjoying this classic RPG masterpiece. Is there any EFFECTIVE method to swap my external SD and the internal memory? I've seen some options to modify the vold files, but the risk of ineffective, tedious hassling with the pad (and potentially bricking it) is too high.
Anyone?
Heeey guys,
The same problem here, did someone find a salution or should i through this brick out?!
Thanks,
I have troubles with J5, because it has 8Gb memory and official rom takes about 5.5Gb of rom so the rest is full almost imediatelly with 3 extra apps.
So I have rooted phone and put in external SD 32Gb and format is as internal memory, but still get notification all the time that storage is full.
I tried all custom roms here but none works, so I have installed official rom back.
Is there a way to do something to release that internal storage memory?

thank you I tried that but not working.
This this [Module] Magic Folder Binder (requires magisk)
Read #3 post for instructions how to use it
Basically whats that modules does is to mount folders on your external SDcard on internal memory, so you can move your app data to your SDcard and use it as normal.
Any questions ask on module thread.

Thanks, I already formated SD card as internal memmory and moved all apps which can be moved, but basically none of google apps can be moved and that is a problem.
Also don't know what fills up memmory, because fresh installed rom have 5.5Gb and phone fills up in one month to 8Gb.
Some light room will be good but I tried all and nothing works.
Is there a way to remove google apps which usually can not be removed?
I bought j5 and I downloaded At least few apps and it started showing "low disk space " I decided to delete all apps and out of 8gb it shows that I have 4MB only. I can't install anything and this phone is useless

Use the Samsung Smart Switch to restore the original ROM or use a custom ROM, it takes less space a have better performance
