Hi,
I recently installed some NAND android (i.e. miui 1.4.29) roms (magldr), they work perfectly. I also partitioned my sd card with 1GB ext3(also tried other values) and in my system info it says there is available a2sd+ memory. But on every rom and with every install I have a maximum of +-7.5MB internal memory space of which +-1.5MB is free to use. So if I install 1 app my memory is full and i can't read my sms messages etc.... Why do other users have 100MB+ free space? Is there a way to check where all that memory is being used? (overall?), At install I wiped my device fyi.
thanks in advance,
Jo

hi,
Are you flashing the correct cwm recovery that the Dev recommends in the [OP]?
Flashed from my fingers to your face
I've got a worse problem, I'm trying several ROMs for my HTC HD2 but each and every ROM only gives me like 0.5 MB internal memory....I'm lost i don't any idea what to do , any suggestions for me?
Setting the correct partition size each rom?

can you tell us your device spec, magldr/clk/ partition size/flash.cfg etc
my guess is...you have EU HD2 and you flashed a 350> partition
did you install a radio that allows 576mb ram? I am not an expert but that is needed and there are several available. Also, post as many details about your phone and what you did so that the Developers have enough information to help you better.

Dear fellows,
This is a very unpleasant situation. I have flashed the Marshmallow ROM of artas182x:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...shmallow-note-3-t3349306/page109#post69202143
Everything is PERFECT, even FDE is working! But when I connect the phone to my laptop,
I can only see the Internal memory, but I can NOT see my SD card, hence I can't copy any
files to it directly. I need to copy to the Internal memory and then move the files on the
phone, which is a quite annoying 2-step process.
I have decided to post a new thread for this, because Artas is not replying to my posts
and not even to a PM which I sent him.
PLEASE help me, as this is the only ROM which has encryption working. I have tried
Slim ROM, Phronesis, DarkLord and also VisionX (Lollipop) and none of them has
encryption working, it always fails with something I'm sooooo frustrated
Many many thanks in advance!
i would install the Samsung USB drivers .
Format the sd card .

Hello and thanks for your reply, but I am not sure, that this will solve my problems, because...
With all the ROMs - Slim, Darklord, Phronesis - when I connect the phone to the laptop,
in Windows Explorer I can see Internal Storage and next to it - SD card.
Just with the ROM of Artas - when I connect it to the laptop, I only see Internal Storage.
Isn't there some setting for this, some file that I can edit or (re)move or I don't know, just
something. How it can be that with EVERY ROM I tried, the SD card is seen on the PC,
just not with the ROM of Artas. Thank you.
P. S.: Or perhaps there is a way to take the drivers/modules responsible for SD card from
another ROM and put it in Artas' ROM ?
Your using Marshmallow, are you using your SDcard as portable or integrated storage? if you have formatted the SD as internal storage it will now be an encrypted partition only accessible by the phone itself. Connecting to desktop will only show the internal data storage. If you want direct access to SD card, format it as portable... if still not working reboot to TWRP Recovery, enable MTP and mount SD storage along with system partition, sd storage should be executable on the desktop. You can also decrypt the Marshmallow SD internal storage but its another story.
Hello jordanpa and many thanks for replying to my problem!
I should have written about this as well - I did NOT format the card as internal storage.
I am using it as emergency rescue - keeping a copy of the Slim ROM and TWRP there,
because several times it happened that the Internal storage got completely wiped and
I needed to have something to flash in order to get the phone running.
So, this is not the cause of the problem, unfortunately... Please suggest something else.
P. S.: Could that be caused by a virus/malware ??? What can I do, in order to rule out this possibility ?

Darklord and phronesis 5.1.1?.
You need to format it first time to be used on 6.0.1.

If you are regularly flashing custom ROM's and wiping system partition etc you can pretty much rule out malware or virus, especially when diagnosing function issues like reading partitions. The most vulnerable devices are those running on the same stock firmware with no anti-virus and outdated security patches.
Check the permissions for each partition, It will need to be readable for not just the phone.

Nope, I was trying Darklord and Phronesis based on Marshmallow. I have read somewhere, that encryption has been implemented much better and more secure on Marshmallow. On Lollipop I only tried VisionX which was working very well, but again it failed to encrypt my device.
About the malware/virus - this is another problem that I have on another phone. Maybe I wrote this by mistake in this thread...
In Device manager I see 2 unknown devices:

I tried the buttons update driver - Windows didn't find nothing.
Then I tried to uninstall the driver and replug the phone - after a while it gave me:

What can be done, please advise on how this can be solved ? Thanks!

hi,
I am on a rooted 900w s5 and I'm trying to move apps to the system partition. Mainly, Im trying to move viper to stop it from turning off and on constantly when installed as user. When I try to do this and reboot, the app disappears. Only flashing the app from recovery works but then i get issues with the convolver in viper not working. Permissions are all set correctly too.
Any solutions?
Thanks
Hi!
I 've used Link2SD to do what you want.
I had done this manually in LP , but something changed in MM. I haven't found out the difference because I've used Link2SD and it is easier
Not working for me. Nothing seems to be working
The only way to install apps on system its using a zip file and flashing it from recovery to add those apps on system dir
if you are on Marshmellow, DONT EVEN THINK OF LINK2SD!!!!! _ (it will mess your internal & external Storage. yu'll need to flush stock os again).
the changes between MM & LP are mainly to the Storage Permissions.
Samsung disabled the option to move or link apps and their DATA to EXTERNAL!!!!
THOUGH..... there is an AWESOME App Called: "ROOT ESSENTIALS"
this is how you do it: (in case your premissions is not messed up)
in "root essentials" choose the storage tab and then format your Ext' SD as "Internal Storage". This way you will have all your storage as Internal (up to 256GB)
you can also choose how much % you want to allocate from your Ext' SD to be Internal, And how much leave as External.
-
This is the Only Good Solution I found on S5 6.0
p.s.
I just formatted all as INTERNAL and now my phone have 140GB as Internal (everything is handled as admin!!!)

How is that any different than what marshmallow can already do? Unless you can actually access the sd card when taking it out, it's the exact same.

Thanks for this but I dunno if this will solve my problem. My problem is mainly with viper4android crashing and staring up again (turning off and on) while listening to music. It happens when I install it as a user app which I have to do to get the convolver and field surround to work. To get it to stop crashing I moved the app to /system/priv-app and rebooted. I can't do that on my s5 MM. When I reboot the app disappears. LOL
I'll try your method and see if it works.

its not perfect but, if you do 50% as internal and 50% as External.... you will be able to access those 50% external from any machine (will req' a fat sd to enjoy space)
or
Downgrade from Marshmallow.

so if that friend got it to work on 6.0.1 id love to know how the procces looked.

Hi
I Can tell what I did.
First data: I have a S5 900H Dualcore. Marshmallow 6.0.1 and it was impossible to mount the second partition using Link2SD I always got an error. So as described in this forum. I downloaded from Play Store the APK Root Essentials, and chosed the tab Adopted or Emulated Memory (I have this APP in spanish and I do not know how is displayed in english) a new window appears indicating taht the SD will be formated, I accepted it, the APP began the process and ask me to download from Play store a plugin to continue the process.
Downloaded the plugin directly in my cell, I flashed it (the plugin is in zip format, my cell is root and has Teamwin recovery) the cell reboot automaticaly and again I opened the Root Essentials, thats all. Whit this same APP you now may choose to move your APPs to the SD card.
Opening the system to see how is my phone now I found that Memory is 49.73 GB used to a total of 64GB (I do not know why those numbers because my Cell has 16GB internak and other 16GB External SD maybe some one may explain this) Anyway it is saying my cell memory has now 64 GB
Internal Memory 16 GB--External SD 16 GB. You cannot find that your internal memory is bigger than before because those ar the phisycally configuration BUT now your phone added the Extrnaal SD to the Internal Memory and works like a unique one.
There is another method you may try and it is using Xposed Apk, it has a module that make the same and links the ext SD with the internal memory. I saw that it works well. I cannot try it because I never could install Xposed App in this cell I alway got an error.
Hope this may help you. Regards!
Thnak you.
So i did not flush the plugin.
How did you flush it please?
Using odin or recovery mode? (and what did you choose? Update?)
Thank you
Does anyone actually have a solution to my issue?

so, you really got me motivated to sort this out. (not about our dear thread opener though i hope he'll fin the answer, but regarding the sd as internal).
i did not quite on Root Essentials and investigated some more. happy to say i found a solution for S5 G900F, Android arshmallow 6.0.1.
this is what i did:
1. Root The Device
2. Install Root Essentials
*note*: there is a plugin file that we need to flush using RootEssentilas, but we will be asked to do so only after : Adopting, and the Revertring. (on reverting we'll be asked to flush the plugin). So....
3. Adopt the Sd. (Adopt the whole 100%)
4. you will be asked to Reboot, so do so
5. after rebbot, go to "Adopt SD" tab again, AND NOW "REVERT" the Process.
* Now you will be Given Ifo To Download the Plugin and Flush it USING ROOT ESSENTIALS FLASHER TAB!
(you would be also asked to Backup System and such, I DID IT maybe 10 Times But NEVER BACKED UP ANYTHING! so IMO, you can skip the backup).
6. Download the PlugIn
7. In RootEssentilas goto "TOOLS" tab and then the "FLASHER" tab, Click "Flash Zip File" and then choose the Downloaded File to flush it.!
8. After Flashing the Plugin Restart your Device
9. NOW ADOPT the SD _ (i have 64gb, I choose 50% so ill be able to connect my phone to Pc and Still Get the other 50% to move Files from Pc to Phone)
***IMPORTANR*** _ YOUR PC WILL NEVER LOAD THE ADOPTED SD!!!! (so if you did 100% from 64GB you will see Only the Real Phisical Phone Storage, on S5 its either 16GB or 32GB)
SO Choose 50% !
10. After Adopting the SD, goto "STORAGE" tab on RootEssentilas , And then goto "APP INSTALL LOCATION" and Choose INSTALL ON SD!! (SAVE)
11. Now install all your games and favorite apps (regullary!)
*****************************************
Now come the important Step
******************************************
12. in RootEssentilas goto "ADOPTABLE STORAGE" tab and then goto "MIGRATE DATA" tab. Click on Migrate Data,
Now pay Atention:
CHOOSE THE SD CARD That Was ADOPTED!!! _ (if you did 50%, the you will have 2 Sd Crads, one as Portable, And second wil be Writen As Oly "SD Card" Which is the Adopted AS Internal, So choose IT)!
after choosing the Adopted SD, Look On the Upper Right For the Three Dots of the Settings, clikc them for Settings and choose "MIGRATE DATA".
Let the Device to its trick, it will move anything it can.
you will see that your Orginal Internal Storage has more free space then Before the Migrate, And that the ADoptabe Storage Is getting Filled!.
thats it my Friends.
Hope This Help Someone.
if ill Do it again, Ill Make sure to Video it.
Specials Thanks for those Hard Core, Digging Friends that gave the the motivation to keep on.
thnka you.

CORRECTED. I Unistalled the adopted memory because I did not like the readings I get. I reinstalled it and now I am getting the correct reading 49.76 GB in use a total of 64GB. The problem I am encountering now is that sometimes the cell reboots.

I got this installed and mostly working I think. Device storage says Internal Storage is 16GB and SD Card is 64GB (I assigned that). Then the portable storage is 120GB from the rest of my 200GB SD. So it's working, though the SD Card in Device Storage is barely full and internal storage is almost full!
Hi all,
I'm new to smartphones and this is my first phone . I'm trying to sent external SD card as internal storage. Issue is that phone has only 8GB of ROM and by default 3.2 is System and 3.5 is Used space. So there is just a tiny space left on the internal memory. Android version is 5.1.1. I have rooted it with TWRP 3.0.2-0 and SuperSU. SD card is Kingstone SDca3/32GBn0557-004A00LF.
I have been reading a lot of tuturials to make external memory internal with no luck. I have tried adb tools, formating it with Mini Tool Partition Wizard-DroidThunder, a2sd, Link2SD, etc... I'm also OK with installing custom ROMs that will enable me to make internal memory of my SD card.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks xD.

I was able to install RR 8.5.8 with Android 7.1, SD card is formated as internal storage. It's OK for now, but still when I go to storage internal SD and external appear as to separate cards. I have migrated all the stuff to external. Some app. do not have option to move to external SD card. Both cards are appearing as separate units. I have seen this tutorial https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-format-microsd-cards-as-internal-storage. It appears that both cards are seen as one by the Android. This is exactly what I want. I have been trying this article with no joy. Can some one please explain me that exactly I need to do? Thanks XD!
hello there i am also interested in getting this done for a friend...would love to know your results so far as of what little i know about spreadtrum devices they are notoriously hard to work with and tend to brick quite often.. @1Igrach if you could post your results regarding this issue it would be much appreciated thank you
Hi All,
I purchased the Axon 7 (A2017, Chinese Model, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage) more than a year ago, with the intention of using it for Google Daydream. As most of you are aware, the Chinese model no longer supports Daydream, which got me researching on how to enable Daydream (seeing how I purchased the headset without doing my research). One option I found is to flash the European / US firmware onto the Chinese phone.
Yesterday, I bit the bullet and flashed it. I took the Chinese modem file and replaced that in the European Firmware before flashing, and everything works fine - all functions are ok, including that of Daydream and connectivity. However, when I checked my storage, it showed that I only have 64GB maximum. When I checked Storage, it showed 61GB unaccounted for under "Others". Please see the screenshot attached.
Is there any way to amend the stock firmware for the memory to be properly accounted for?
Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
M

I think that's only the indicator, shouldn't be a big deal. Try to download DiskInfo from the Play store and check your data partition
Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded Diskinfo, and this is the screenshot.
The user storage space is definitely off, as I definitely did not use that much - I have only just flashed the ROM. Is there any way I can repartition it?
Thanks!

I guess you can try to format from TWRP - try Wipe - Format data (Maybe it's under Advanced wipe, i can't remember). Otherwise you could try to use Advanced Wipe - Change filesystem, and format data/internal to ext4 from there
