Phone Memory - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

How to move almost all Android apps to SD card ?

what sd card? do you mean you want to save the apk's and store it somewhere outside of the phone? in addition, the internal storage isn't partitioned like that of older nexus models. it's either you get a 16gb or a 32gb storage less the space utilized by the os.

The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SDcard.

Meaning i cant transfer apps to usb, like nexus s.

It's not portioned like the older Nexus models. It's just one big internal storage

Last noob question... does it affect my RAM? does it slows down the phone?

Onboard storage is irrelevant when you live in the cloud. Just like Google wants you to. I have 9GB free. Most of my space is taken up by backups and ROMs.

I only miss the SD card because I have several Android devices and I'd like to be able to take one out and put it another one in for purposes such as music, etc.
32gb would have been nice so I could keep more than 2 roms backed up at once on my galaxy nexus plus allow for all my games,apps an music, 16 gb really doesn't go that far for me, I find myself uninstalling a lot of stuff an keeping apps an games backed up with titanium backup so I can easily get it back quickly if I need to so I have storage space.

Free "Thanks" I did not mean to thank you.
But anyway, I have like 10 back ups + music + HQ movies. I honestly don't see a difference in sells if Google were to add additional storage to this phone.

Maybe sales may even have gone done because the price would have to be a bit more.

Flash is $$$$
I really love how I just bought this phone brand new in box off contract from Google for $399

I totally agree that I'd have liked to see a 32GB option and/or a slot for a microSDXC card, like the Galaxy SIII has. I don't want to depend on cloud storage for my music files. And I'd rather use my own music app rather than the Google Play music player. A 64GB microSDXC card in the GN would be perfect.
As it is, I bought a 64GB flash drive that I mount on my GN via USB OTG and Stickmount. Not ideal, but it works.

Would of?
What the hell does that mean?
Would've, while sounding like "would of" is in fact short for "would have"
Together the two words show timing and intent, but could be used apart:
I would buy.
I have bought.
But the same is not true of your use of the word "of."
I of bought.
Simple mistake based on tricks our ears play on us.
No offense intended.

Sorry. Pet peeve. About once every few years I end up posting someplace about "would, should, could of".
Sorry you had to see this, it won't happen again for about 3 years.
Carry on.

Well states wise, how much they would have sold, if Google had a unified launch of launch product. as i remember the release date from Verizon was foggy at best. Then they offered no way buying in the stateside besides Ebay/Amazon, till whatever exclusivity deal expired with Verizon. Then Google finally offered directly and Sprint got the phone.
I could only imgine that this phone would have sold well, if it had any amount of marketing, and unified launch besides one carrier in the states

I have an 8gb card in my phone now and 1.1gb left it's safe to say that 16gb will be okay for me. I'm looking at price point of the phone. Not the memory.

You really think it would have sold any more units with 32GB storage? I find that hard to believe. If you choose your phone based on 16GB vs 32GB storage, and are willing to give up having a Nexus because of it, you clearly don't get it. I still have yet to understand why anyone would need that much storage.
And MicroSD sucks. Partitions and UMS are just a pain in the ass. Don't expect Google to ever use them again in a Nexus device.

Remove partition

Hi guys,
I searched how to remove a partition from the SD and all that i found is for other devices and nothing about Galaxy Nexus. Yesterday i've accidentally created a 2Gb partition and i have no idea if it really exists and how to remove it. I verified all the free storage space at Settings and it shows only 13Gb and not 15 or more Gb.
PS: All the gnex free space is only 13Gb? (16Gb model)
Any ideas?
Thanks

Oh, thank you.

Partitioning?

Just got the Verizon nexus and running jb sorcery 2.2 and now I'm wondering about partitioning...should you be partitioned or not. I'm coming from the evo 4g and it was a big thing for that phone. Thanks for the help

Theres no partitioning to speak of. The Galaxy Nexus has (effectively) 1 big partition for the entire internal storage.
The reason why people re-partitioned older devices like the Evo 4G is because out of the box they weren't always partitioned in a way that all users liked. The Galaxy Nexus solves this problem because it doesn't have an external SDcard or USB Mass Storage support so the phone doesn't need to be partitioned in the first place.

12gb System storage

So I have the 32gb GN which of course means I really have a 28.13gb GN which apparently is actually 16.13gb because system storage is using 12gb. Is it supposed to take that much? I checked using the disc storage app. If it is this is one of those facepalm moments to Google for not adding an sd slot.

Indeed it is, if only because you didn't use the search function to find any of the multitude of threads on the matter.

normally u can just install app on internal Sd-card But u can root ur phone and then use one of the sd-card mounter on play.store then u can install app on external memory.
this feature disabled since android 4.0

Thanks nelvinchi for a "sense" reply. I have ordered a 32gb class 10 card from Amazon, due to the fact you cannot install apps too them 32gb will be plenty for me, if you could of installed apps I would have payed for 64gb, hence the reason for my question.
