Partition internal storage

I'm coming from a LG G2x and gonna be making the switch over to Sprint for this phone as i believe it is the best of the galaxy s2 variant. I'm guessing this won't be possible due to how these phones emmc nand are setup but gonna ask anyways...
Is there a way for users to re-partition the internal storage from 1.5gb to something bigger (like say 4-6gb) and leave the rest for internal emmmc storage, or even completely use the full 12gb available for app storage?
I already own a 16gb external sd card and gonna be upgrading to a class 6-10 32gb for this phone, so i wouldn't need any internal sdcard partitioned from what should be our user app storage. Especially with games coming out today that exceed 500+ mb of storage this would be extremely helpful.

I guess the only option i have is to be thankful of the 2gb internal storage it will come with and just use gparted to create an ext partition on external sdcard and then use link2sd.

Go to settings>storage. The 1.7 gb you're saying I believe is your usb storage/internal memory. If you have 16gb external mem card, it should show above usb storage and labeled SD card. If it doesnt appear, try unmounting and mounting your external. Hope that helps.

Do you have STOCK rom on your W?

The 1.7G storage is your internal memory. The SD Card should appear under it on the settings->storage menu. If it isn't showing, then format the SD and connect it again.

yes i have the stock rom on it

how much internal storage do the 8150 have? 4gb or 1.6gb?

hey all,
my friend is going to buy the i8150T model of the galaxy wave and according to GSMARENA it got only 1.6gb of storage space which i think is to low for normal every day for him.
meanwhile Samsung website list the device as 4gb storage,
which is it? 1.6gb internal storage or 4gb internal storage?

as i know 4 GB means is 1 GB for ROM + 1 GB for Internal Storage + 1.7 GB for Internal SD Card

1GB is system storage for apps, 1.7GB is USB storage for storage, which is also know as internel SD, and if not mistaken, the rest 1.3GB is used by system, ROM, etc
Please correct me if I am wrong
Hope it helps

[Q] Partition SD Card Possible?

Currently, my Internal Storage has only ~50MB remaining while my external SD has ~12GB. Is there any way to repartition the sd card to be an extended part of internal storage? Or any app that would free up space in the internal memory. Thanks in advance.

Is that 12GB a transflash(memory card) or your nand memory (internal one)?

try this

Well, to give an example. I have a Xolo Q1000, mediatek processor, 4gb internal memory. I had a 16 gb micro sd card on it and through an app called Meteos, i could "repartition" it to increase its internal memory to around 14gb, enough for me to install lots of games on it. Oh and thank you for the replies.

Adaptable SD on V20A (android 6.0)

Hello,
I have got question about new feature called 'adaptable sd' on android marshmallow.
Info: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...or-accessed-normally-with-no-additional-apps/
How it works on Lg g4? Can you move whole app on sd?

if i'm right you can format your external storage(SD card) to work as internal storage. this is useful when installing a lot of apps and big ones from the store.
i don't think you can move internal apps to SD.
this will be a way for 16GB phone variants(not necessarily for G4) to have more internal storage.

Can you format your sd card to work as internal storage on G4?

For me not, Sony SD, no options to format as internal, only normal format.

Strange, this is standard functionality on android marshmallow.
Is there any way to unlock this functionality?

Sounds like how the app Link2SD works by allowing apps on the External SD card.

This is much better than Link2SD, you have true additional internal storage.

Yeah, I can't see the option to format an SD card to internal storage either. At the moment, Link2SD is the next best thing.

Depends, it will still be slower than real internal storage as MicroSD cards are not as fast as internal memory I think.

Actualy, microSD Class10 cards are enought fast for aplication.

I wonder what's the speed of the internal memory.

The internal memory is pretty fast, not the fastest tough. Where the microSD fails is the random R/W part, I would not use it for any resource hungry apps, I do not like lags

First two pics are the internal memory, last two are the SD.
