[MOD] Increase internal memory of your Gio - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

How to increase your Gio's internal?
1. Use these files
S5660XXKTF_S5660DBTKT1_DBT.zip - 136.5 MB
Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.42.exe - 445.0 KB
GIO_v1.0.ops - 105 bytes
CODE_S5660XXKT7_boot.tar.md5 - 5.2 MB
A microSD with two primary formatted partitions inside (the former 'to FAT32' and the latter 'to EXT4' filesystems) both partition must be primary.
I using this version of firmware S5660XXKTF_S5660DBTKT1_DBT and Doc_cheilvenerdi.org made the mod for me so all thanks are for him.
2.Flash your Gio using Odin like forum tutorial
3.After flashing is complete, reflash via Odin this boot.img which you have downloaded early CODE_S5660XXKT7_boot.tar.md5
How to do ? Here check point 4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398797
That's all.
I recommend using a 2GB memory card and the phone will move great, I tested a 8GB card and phone is too laggy.
This mod works only for stock ROM on rooted/unrooted phones, the DOc explains why.

So? This is integrated a2sd??

It's modded boot.img which replace phone internal memory with ext4 partition size from memory card so they leave your phone memory free but I'm sure you know that.

Maybe you're right but I need to testing more memory cards to see what is the problem.

Wifi drivers are stored outside the boot image and strictly related to your firmware kernel version. So you should use a modded image with exactly the same PDA of your currently installed firmware.
If you post your PDA code I can mod that image for you, otherwise in my Original Thread you can find tutorials and auto-tools on how to do it on your own.

INCREASE INTERNAL MEMORY BY PARTITION MEMORY CARD IN LG optimus one
Dear Developers and Techies,
Need support in increasing my internal memory by partitioning SD card on my LG Optimus One with android 2.3.3 V20D
Phone is already rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Please do help in doing this AEAP.

Looks like Link 2 SD application, but i think this better from link 2 sd, because link 2 sd still using phone memory.
But i don't know who will have better performance because i haven't try this yet. :laugh:

[Tutorial] Create SD-EXT Partition W/Clockwork Mod 1.2

No Need To Use G-Parted or other complicated tools!!!!
I have fully tested the new CWM 1.2 and can now confirm that you can now make SD-EXT partition for use with APPS2SD+. Below is a step by step guide on how to do it:
Download the CWM v1.2 from RaiderX's Post and remember to say thanks!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
RaiderX Instructions for new user;
1. download one of the partition files, if you don't know which one you need, use the 250M one or check with rom developer.
2. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice
3. Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz and zImage) to the root of your sd card
4. boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
5. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
6. After complete, again boot into magldr and select "Boot AD SD" option
7. ClockworkMod recovery should load, you can flash a rom from here.
Now once you have done this:
> GO to advance and then partition SD card
> Remember this will wipe the sd card so back everything up if need be
> Choose how much space you want on the partition then then choose 0MB for swap
>PLEASE NOTE PARTITIONING WILL WIPE THE SD CARD SO YOU WILL NEED TO GO INTO USB STORAGE MODE IN MAGDLER AND COPY THE 2 FILES FOR THE SD CARD FROM THE CWM DOWNLOAD
>and hey presto your done
> Remember you need to use an APPS2SD+ rom for this to work!
There are many benifits of this using EXT-Partition such as you apps will automatically transfer to your partition and many others you'll find out for yourself
Please Note: Not every app will get stored on the SD-EXT partition no matter what you do as there meant for the internal memory
i have 2 gb mcard,need help
Just follow the instructions doesn't matter on the size of your memory card, just choose an adequate size for your partition

you might want to add that this will also wipe the CWM files off the SD card so will need to use the USB Mass Storage option in magldr to copy the files back over
good
Thanks for this simple tutorial, bro. But may I ask. What is swap. What the best recommended size for it. Sorry for noob question.
edit: just know to select 0mb. Thanks
OK thanks for that
the partition is only ext3
is that a problem?

Thats not a problem as most roms support this its EXT4 that some roms don't support, but check the rom thread just in case

i have a 16gb sdcard, and i was amazed at how quickly it formatted and partitioned my sdcard, but when i loaded my rom it hadn't done anything lol. so i tried one more time and then i noticed it was taking a bit longer so i felt it was working and it did. just sharing my experience. might take more than one try

If we do a SD-EXT partition for use with APPS2SD+, will installing/uninstalling app lag? And how is the performance when compare to installing in phone memory?

No it will not lag and performance wise its should run faster as it has more space to place with and will not decrease the internal phone memory

Will all applications be installed in this extension? And will it cause any error when application, that required install to phone, are installed in this extension. For example,in MDJ CM7 2.2, Angry bird is required to install in phone memory in order to work.

It wont cause any error like i said before not all applications cant be installed to the ext partition so some applications will be installed to the internal phone memory, As for angry birds it will automatically install to the SD-Card partition as i have bot the season and normal version installed and they both run fine on the SD-EXT partiton
where could i get APPS2SD+ from ?

[Q] Link 2SD

I have updated to CM7 Mod
then i created a 300mb ext2 partition through PC
then after that i manually linked all of the apps to the ext partition but i still have 1MB left in the internal storage even after linking
hope somebody could help cause it didnt automatically linked the apps

Hello there,
did you reboot the phone? Did you link only apk or also dex and lib files of the applications?
How many apps are installed? You can view apps that are on the SD card but not on the ext partition. maybe they didnt get linked?
yes i did reboot the Mobile..and i have linked the dex and lib files too
there are 46-49 apps installed
yes it says ---> Linked
when im on sense, im using DT a2sd (ext4)
when im on CM base, im using S2E (ext4). I got more than 100mb free space after more than 50 apps installed.
so should i delete the old ext2 partition and make a ext4 one?
Use flashable data2sd script...it worked for me

It doesn't really matter.
I would suggest factory reset, then installing Link2SD.Open it, and tick "Auto link".Then install all apps you need, and you're fine.
By the way, that internal storage information from phone is not correct.
For example, I have 50 apps installed with 30mb free internal storage.Then I delete one app (2mb), and the phone shows 50mb free.So, it's not correct.Don't know why, but that's the way Link2SD works.I got used to it.
Anyway, if you have Class 6 or up sdcard, then I'd suggest using data2sd, otherwise, stick with Link2SD.

but when i started using link2sd for the first time i always used to have 55MB even if i install new apps but now its only 10-15MB

how can you tell what class sd card your using plz ?
I would also recommend S2E, like asdot said earlier.
It is in my opinion the easiest and best solution when you are using CM (7 or 9, both work).
Just install it from the market.
And it is true, if you have a slow SD card I would not use data2sd. The app S2E gives you the option to move apps only, not their data. I use that option and have a very fast phone with basically endless memory

Use antutu to test sdcard read/write speed.
Compare with this(write speed is what's important)

[Solved] New SDCard formatting and flash new ROM

Hi, i want to buy a new bigger SDCard for my ArcS and have 2 questions
In the shop near me they have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB.
But the Android formatted version is not in stock, just the normal one for PC, and it´s cheaper about 5€ (~7$)
Can i format this normal one in CWM (i have Custom Kernel) for Android (extSD with 2GB ext3 should also be partitioned).
Second Question is: must i first flash the stockROM 587 with flashtool to this new and empty card (and maybe select exclude kernel in flashtool, otherwise i think i must relock the bootloader?) ,
or can i just put the zip from the custom ROM or my Nandroidbackup on it and flash via CWM?
Thanks in advance :good:
Format and partition the card with CWM, copy your old files to your new card, done. Not sure what led you to ask the second question.

You can format also from PC (it's more friendly i think), if you want use Link2SD, you make two partition, first in fat32 size 20-22 Gb where you put tour data (photo, music ecc...) and second 8GB in ext2/3/4, second partion is used from Link2SD for link-app. Two partiotn must be primary, and you must to create firt the fat32 partition and than the ext.
Second question, you put zip rom and flash it from cmw. I think that it no problem.
Thanks for reply XperienceD , so i will buy the PC formatted card. :good:
My second question was about, that i didn´t know if i can install the customROM i will use when there was no android on the card before. (the customRom is stock-based),
and i thought that maybe there must be some files from the original Sony-ROM on the card to install a stock-based custom-zip.
I won´t use my existing installation-files and copy them on the new card, i want to start the new card with a clean installation.
Thats why i asked about flashing the original 587.ftf, and for flashing original ROM the Bootloader has to be locked (i have read that in the guide "how to lock bootloader again" on a german Android-Forum)
So ok, i just need the customROM-zip and install it on the blank card with the CWM from Kernel, right?
Flashing WiFi modules again after ROM is also recommended i think?
Hope you understand what i mean, cause english is not my native language

Thanks for reply!
Yes i will use Link2SD for the extSD, i also have it now on the original Sony 8GB SDcard with 1GB ext3.
But you say about 8GB for extSD partition, i have read that for best compatibility the partition should not have more than 2GB?
I will use Paragon Partition Manager on my PC, i think that will be the easiest. First create the FAT32 an then the ext one. The FAT has to be the first on the Partitiontable, i knew that.
For Link2SD the second should be ext3, thats what people say in ArcKnight Kernel thread.
btw: yanner2012, sorry for not clicking "thanks", but i have reached the limit for today , i will do it tomorrow. :good:

ext no limit do not worry. It's also my configuration and no problem :good: The partion's sizes is my advice but you can custom it. I don't advice more 8Gb for ext partion...you reserve more size for fat32 where you put your data (photo, ecc..) .
@yanner2012
OK, so i will make about 3-4GB.
I think that´s more than enough. At the moment i have 200mb free from 1GB on my extSD.
I don´t have so much apps/games on the phone, for games i have a good pc
Thanks again ! :good:

Place a blank SD card in the Phone and the only thing that will be affected is any installed app that uses a folder on it, the system however will just rewrite any needed files.

Int2ext ect,, do any work properly?

hi all,
the main reason for me unlocking my arc s was to mount an ext4 partition so there was no more agro with running out of internal ram.
ive tried various roms with various kernals and various scripts, the closest i got to one working was latest vengeance + latest viper + int2ext4+
but it kept lagging on video and internet..
i really liked viper but hdmi missing so waiting or 6.5....
ive just put lupusv16 + UHD4 + UHD mod and it is very impressive, the screen is better almost as stock with bravia2, hdmi very good and camera also very good, the question is which script definatly works properly with this setup? i dont want to move swap to int, just link ext4 on sd to int ram ??
cheers

With lupus kernel ver16 for ICS
only CronMod- INT2ext works even with partition ext4.
Am using the same.Internal up to 2.5GB,stock. ICS 0587 with said kernel.

Did you formated it correctly?
I mean, both partitions, fat32 and ext must be primary and some users told me that i have to do them with a sd reader...
I use Link2sd in GB and it works fine (ext4, 2GB minus the journal)

Hi,
i plugged my 8gb sd card into my laptop and wiped it, then created a 6gb fat 32 partition, a 1.7gb ext4 partition & the remainder about 300mb as swap. then mounted fat copied hd4 rom, hd4 mod and int2ext to it. then into phone, booted to recovery, installed rom as per thread, rebooted phone, left it 20 mins, booted to recovery, flashed hd4 mod, rebooted phone, left for 20 mins, booted to recovery, installed int2ext script. rebooted phone, then it hangs on boot..
from what ive seen the int2ext scripts are difficult to get working correctly with no lag, fc's ect.
cheers

First of you are on ICS 4.0.4/stock fw 0587 aren't you.
Cos lupus kernel ver16 is for ICS.
Like what angel said both has got to be primary.
Your 6gb/primary/Fat32
Your 1.6gb/primary/Ext4
You should delete link2sd,or any other CronMod extension versions from your sdcard before you flash the CronMod INTEXT2.
After done flashing go to mount n storage and format sd-ext.Reboot.
If everything goes well look in titanium backup or setting/storage.It will show the internal memory you just acquired.
If you get bootloop after that then wipe cache and delvic cache and reflash it again following the above procedure again.
But I don't think you'll come to that.If all requirements are met than its a piece of cake.
Try it again.And one more thing,it doesn't lag if not it only faster from my experience using it.
Tell us of the outcome.By the way clicking the thanks button would be sufficient enough to anyone who assist you in the future here on xda.
Cheers.

i then deleted the ext4 partition on my laptop and repartitioned it and didnt make it bootable and the phone booted straight up working.
i did use int2ext+ this time and not int2ext
dont know why it didnt work before unless something had put a file on the partition?
anyway

ok, its working with apps and streaming video is fine ( it wasnt before it was really laggy and fc)
so i got as far a tesing a game, and its sooo laggy its unplayable.
im gunna forget it, i dont think my sd card is fast enough, benchmark 20ms read, 5ms write.

Had you tried use an app for linking the ext rather than just install a script? I know that it's basically the same but still...
By the way, this is what i do, and its working:
0- Make a nandroid backup
1- Install Mini partition tool wizard
2- Clear the sd - Clic on apply
3- Create a new fat32 partition (13355 MB, 13GB) Default cluster and set as primary - apply
4- In the unnalocated space make the ext 4 partition (2GB - Journal) set as primary - apply
5- Copy the backup into the sd
6- format everything like when you install a new rom
7- restore
8- Download link2sd and select the ext partition
9- Reset
10- Move apps to it :/
My sd card is class 10 but honestly i dont feel so much difference with a class 4 :/

Thanks for taking the time to reply
i re installed rom & mod again, tested game and it was fine, so its def the script, i used int2ext this time instead and it was slightly better as it leaves data on internal for speed so im going to leave it untill i get a class 10 card then try int2ext again.

[Q] SD EXT partition.. Link2SD or App2Ext.. problems with mounting.

I rooted my desire 816 [still running the stock rom] and I wanted to try link2sd so I partitioned my SD card and created an ext4 primary partition.. opened link2sd app,installed mount scripts and restarted the phone but the ext partition is still unmounted.. tried ext2 but ended up with the same result!
searched a lot but found so many confusing topics that got me more confused!
what should I do to get the ext partition to be mounted on boot?!
also is app2ext better than link2sd? if so, then how to install it too?
thank you guys in advance..

The video maker Potent Technologies has a .zip file available from kinghunki that automatically adds the wp_mod.ko file and the permissions on boot with one flashable zip via custom recovery.

Thanks! but I think the zip file is for enabling SD card write permissions only..
my problem is that the EXT partition I created doesn't mount on boot and I don't know how to enable that since I'm on stock rom not a custom one..
I am having the same problem. I even flashed that zip but It didn't help.
I had read somewhere that the Exp partition size should be 20% of the microSD card size at most. is it relevant here?
I've also made a Linux swap. the order of my partitions is :
1. fat 32 :15 GB primary, Active
2. Ext4 :now 5 GB primary (It would fail mount with Ext3)
3. Linux Swap : 1.5 GB

that zip is for re-enabling writing permissions on SD card which is disabled in KitKat by default.
------
you don't need that much for the ext partition.. it should be no more than 20% of the SD card size.
I guess you made the ext this size because of games, right? you should use foldermount instead.. It's AWESOME!!
------
I have a stock rom and I don't intend to flash any custom rom but a stable lollipop rom.

I have no problems with partitioning my SD card at all, my problem is how to add "Init.d" support in my stock rom to be able to mount my ext partition at boot.
I guess this is gonna fix it for us

yup, Just installed "Superuser_Busybox_Init.d_Wp_Mod_STABLE-v4.0.0.zip" from above thread and Link2SD problem is fixed. now the mount sticks

Meaning after he restarts the device the SD doesn't need to be remounted with a command in order for link2sd to work.

KitKat and Lollipop require different fixes.
For 5.0.2 go here...
