Help please...problems with my 8gb internal micro sd card

Hello all, i'm new and noob in the android OS and tablets and stuff, so i'l need a little help from you if you would like...i've got a dell streak 5 and somehow i managed to open it and mount an internal micro sd card 8GB class 10 and i installed a android 2.2 on it with the fast boot and qdl tool. now when i try to install some apps i always receive the following msg: sorry, there's not enough space to install this item. i have a 6.4 gb of free space so...what's the problem here? it is not formatted ? and if is not how should i do this?
please help

try to unmount the external sd and try again

U need to research which card are compatible with the streak... I think it only recognizes 2 or 4gb idr
But anywho, you can't just throw in a big card without even seeing if it'll work first..

That's not true. I have an 8gb card on mine class 4 and works good.

I did it and worked. Obviously the internal card is just for apps... is he intents to use it as media, he has to make the hack on the link

well, thanks for your help, but i recall i'm a noob and i'm going to remain a noob until i can understand you language. do stuff like linux hack os not so simple for me. yes, i can do it with a proper tutorial or so...so, if you already did this, please take me step by step like a tutorial.
i'll really appreciate your help

If you want the internal SD for apps, but open it, change you internal SD, and make a factory reset (NOT from the custom recovery, use the Dell screen).
Or do you mean to open your Dell?

You didn't format it before inserting the new card? The internal sd should be ext3 like this:
Code:
/dev/block/innersd0p5 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
/dev/block/innersd0p6 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
I don't know how you could install the rom without having acorrect partition type on your sd card, though. Check to see using 'adb shell mount' on your PC. To format the sd card, you'd need a program like parted.
Hope it didn't misunderstand your problem.

yes, i installed android 2.2 without formatting the micro-sd card. if i'm correct, you'll need ext3 partition for the apps, not for the os. or it's done auto when i did this with the qdltool software.
i'll try something else and i'll post the result here

I had the same question myself some time ago but if you follow the method in the following thread link I can confirm you shouldn't have any problems, at least it worked for me, all the best of luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536829

you could use easeus or mini partition tool to copy the whole SD as is & adjusting the size.

?? What ROM r u using ??
The easiest way is using application or script that move application to SD card. These things will move your application to your sd card and not wasting your internal memory. it's work perfectly fine.
There are many script available - chose one that match your ROM cause not all script are working perfectly to every ROM.
try search using A2SD and ....... (your ROM) to see which one work and which one donot...... Unfortunately i have to tell u that some script might working well with someone's phone (even u have the same ROM).
The second way is to install the app to SD program, like link2sd, app2sd... it's free on the market. Also this program is not working on everyone's phone. However it's easier to install.
after install script and application there might be a problem like low sound, lag, internet issue etc. so check that everything is Ok after u do anything.
I can't give u a step by step 'cause i dont know which ROM r u using.....

it's different for roms indeed. generally we have app2sd, app2sd+(aka app2ext), data2ext, d2sd, ad2sdx and so on.
the most basic and convenient 1 is link2sd from play store~

i think it's impossible to expand an internal storage. capacity is fixed. i read somewhere that some of space will be used for kernel and ROMs wil use another some of internal memory space to copy system files. so normally you will have internal memory available around 150-200MB depends on partition layout you make. the only way if you want to install many application is as mentioned above to move your application to SDcard,and i think link2sd app is the easiest way to do that

[Q] How to instal apps or programs on the sd card?

i am new on this android world and i own a samsung galaxy y gt s5360. every time i want to instal any app it tell me that i have insufiicient space, altough i have a 2 gb sd card attached. how to redirect them on the sd card? or how to increase the internal memory? i tried to follow some instructions found here but it look a very foreign language for me.
Thank you

Is your phone rooted?

You have to root your phone, then you can use link2sd to do that, search for a guide on how to use it, it really simple

click on it
3. repeat step 2 with other apps also

If you want to increase your phone memory,you have to learn about your phones basic developments at first,like-ROOT AND UNROOT,CWM...etc...coz you are new at now...
Otherwise you can use the trick by sgyGURU for increaseing your internal memory by moving and clearing cache of the apps..

Micro SD main memory

Hello,
I bought a 64go sd card (samsung evo plus U3) for my G6 because 32go is not enough for me (especially with the place already taken base by the system)
I managed to set the camera to save the photos on it, but I can not find anything in the settings to use the micro sd in main memory .. my wish would be that downloads, screenshots and compatible applications go directly on the sd without having to move them manually ..
Is it possible ?
Thank you all :fingers-crossed:

As far as I know not without hacking the phone
I think I read about it that it's possible with some ADB commands or also with root access,
but I don't know how exactly.
Google should be your friend in this case

You can do that by switching partitions but keep in mind that removing the memory card in this case may break your phone so I won't recommend it to anyone.
