Can't you just use the "Manage Apps" in "Settings" and move some apps to the media area? I think that's the internal SD IIRC.
Yes i move all app i can move to the sd internal card
if someones have other tips for em that can be great.
Thx for the tips

You can use the app called app2card at here: http://www.tinhte.vn/f280/app2card-2-9-8-30-oct-cai-dat-ung-dung-len-nho-phan-vung-456586/
It splits the external sd card to 2 partitions and format one as ext4 for apps storage. Just give you a way.

Partitioning of SD Card

Hi all,
Just after installing custom rom aokp on my phone, the /system was showing free space of 4 mb only (w/o installation of any additional apps). To install Google Now , there should be free space of atleast 90mb on /system.
Therefore, in a bid to increase the space, i got a 2gb external card. In one of the articles on net, it showed increasing the space on sd card (through SD card partitioning via Rom Manager). I though that this would make my EXT-SD a part of the internal storage and help increase the space on /system. However, after following the procedure, the space on my internal storage reduced from 1.7 gb to 480 mb while USB storage increased from 5.7 gb to 7.4 gb.While it did nothing to the EXT-SD.
Now can anyone please tell me a way to Reverse it and also how to increase the space on /system to install Google Now.
Apart from this i tried APP2SD to make space on internal storage (as it mentions "MOVE TO EXTERNAL SD") it also does not move the apps to EXT-SD, rather it moves to USB Storage w/o creating space on /system.
Please help.

Hey guys, I have 150+ free mb on my internal storage, though on the system partition I am running out of space. Is it possible to increase the size of the /System partition? I cant find anything through google.
Thanks,

Link2SD won't help his system partition much.
Though I'm curious as to how you're running out of system storage, as almost no apps require being put on the system partition.

[Q] SD Partition

I already partitioned my sd card months ago but this totally bothered me. I 2nd partition is 1gb and when i open settings->apps->manage applications, it still shows that my internal memory is only 190mb. What seems to be the problem?

You want to increase you internal storage?
Cant see what you want dude
Are you using any mods?

There is no problem here
use link2sd to mount your 2nd partition then you can link apps to free up internal storage so you can install more apps
your total internal storage will not increase - only available storage if you link apps to sd card that are currently on internal or have lib files on internal
on most deodex custom roms after you have installed around 80 apps you will have between 30mb & 60mb of free internal storage depending on the data & cache of apps

I know how to mount the 2nd partition. All i want is to see that my internal memory has inreased to 1.190gb. Because in task manager, it only shows that i only have 190mb, though i already partitioned my sdcard for 1gb.

I don't believe you understand what a 2nd partition is/does
your total internal storage will not increase - that's impossible without repartitioning the internal storage & taking space from other internal partitions which would be stupid as you would take space from boot partition
an sd card partition is on your sd card so you split the total storage of your sd card into two therefore your total internal storage hasn't increased - you haven't put a bigger internal hd in
your 2nd partition size is displayed in the info in link2sd
what it does is take apps in internal space & place them in the 2nd partition - it then leaves a link file where the app was so basically the app still behaves like it's on internal but it's not
No, i understand. Well, that would be all. No problem anymore.

using Link2SD doesn't increase your internal memory/RAM ... Link2Sd makes it easy for Android 1.6+ users with root privileges on their phone to move applications to the "SD card".

Its possible with amarullz script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310309
Its a script that you put in your init.d folder.
But i cannot ensure that works on every rom/kernel kombo.
With hells fusion 50# kernel + evo x3 rom is it working (my daily use)

Yea, if your SDcard not partitioned yet, the rom will bootloop

If you modify the fstab correctly and make userdata at least 1GB you should be fine. I've partirioned my sdcard to use external sd, cache, system, and userdata giving me much more space to install roms and apps. I'd recommend a more powerful sdcard to take away the lag

Is it possible to resize the system partition?

Hi, I have a Moto X Pure and I'm using stock-based TruePureMM rom. I've noticed that I've run out of space in the "internal storage" and it's pretty annoying. it's a 16GB phone but only 9.61GB available to me. My system partition has about 3GB free. Is there any way to resize partitions to reclaim space from the system partition? Do other roms have varying partition sizes? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible... Yes. Would I recommend even an advanced user trying it? Nope, not a chance
But you need to rewrite the entire partition table, and resize every partition. The potential for bricking is high. Your best bet is add a micro SD card and use adopted storage.

I just sucked it up and found a deal on a 64gb version. Plenty of space now!
