I think there's a way to use it in a sort of apps2SD style. I wouldn't suggest it though because the eMMC used in the phone is slower than the SDcard and must share bandwidth with the system.

yeah i know what you mean, but the phone itself has 7ish gb of flash memory (total of 8gb) that dedicate 1gb to the system (746mb usable) so instead of been just there is there any way to use them as part of the system (as right now my phone sees 2 sd card the physical one (16gb) and the internal 6ish gb) this last one I don't use it at all so my question is is there any way to partion it the system one to be able to use the total 8gb internal flash memory?

Same way Motorola Droid X Does

Yes, edit the vold.fstab file in /system/etc and switch the last two lines. Specifically the the "auto" and beyond and the "3" and beyond. Leave what's before the auto and the 3 on the last two lines.

I think the app NotEnoughSpace will do that for you. Or more to the point it will allow you to use some of that space for the /data/data partition which on the Dinc is allocated to 150MB and is responsible for the "Application out of space" errors people get all the time.

That just mounts emmc as sd and sd as emmc. I think what hes asking is if there is a way to dedicate more than 1gb of the memory to the system out of the 7gb free. So in other words out of 8 total gb he wants 7gb to be dedicated to the system and 1gb for emmc storage.

+1 on this as well.I just store important stuff on there which is nowhere near 1gb used. 700 some mb is just not enough for me.

There has to be a way to do it i just have no clue how. But i would love to have more space for system.

notenoughspace is useful for moving what's in /data/data so there's no more FC's and warnings when it gets low based on the old 150mb and under. all my media and storage of files is on a 16gb sd so I'm hardly using the emmc. once this is figured out I'll reset my /data/setup based on how much more space we can allocate for more apps outside the initial 1gb
update: after playing with "NES" and moving certain apps one by one to avoid problems I nearly have almost 120mb freed up in data/data and notice some increase in performance unless my eyes are fooling me

any news on this? I'd love to create more program memory out of the emmc

Need help understanding my storage :(

OK I'm not sure what's going on here.
I have a 32gb memory card in my e4gt. I have my camera set to save on sd card yet my USB storage is pretty low and I don't store much on my phone.
my phone reads
SD Card Total Space: 29.71 gb, Available: 23.37
USB Storage Total Space: 11.50, Available 2.17
Device Memory Available space 1.49gb
I want to know what is taking up so much space on my USB Storage. I have no media on my phone besides the pictures i've taken which is 144 and about 150 i've added via USB from my computer.
Can someone help me understand how my storage is working?
Sorry for such a noob question.

This app will tell you exactly what is using your space up. The UI sucks but it works.

aw dang it! It was gameloft! I selected download to external sd card when I downloaded the files to each game. IS my USB storage considered as external SD to some apps? Would it have worked if I just copied the gameloft folder to my external sd card?

Yeah those gameloft games eat up space real fast. As far as I know, you can't just move the data to your external SD, the game won't be able to find the data then. Try this app, I have never used it but it supposedly allows you to do it. Needs root though.

I used Samsung 32GB Class 10 So I think it's Fast enough but the apps on Phone must be still on phone cause or widgets on home and others

Can't you just use a bigger sd card?

I don't said getting Lag and I have more than enough spaces in my SD Card but I have too much installed apps that they must be in SD Card With some system Files So I can't move them to The SD So Is there a Way to Extend my Phone Storage to get more space ?

I doubt that. Internal storage is not like cpu freq, where you can increase it and see whether it is safe or not. This is like " I want to increase my pendrive storage from 1Gb to 2Gb without purchasing new pendrive."
Can it be done? By "hardware hacking" point of view, it is possible.
Should you do it? I guess not.

How to reverse the internal storage and the micro sd card by using Xposed?

Well, the 16gb internal storage would definitely not be enough for a tablet... Is there any way to reverse the internal and the external storage using Xposed? And what kind of format on the sd card should I use, FAT32 or exFAT? Thank you!

No, but there are apps you can use to extend the internal storage to the external.
However it always suprises me when people say that 16gb is not enough.
I have nothing but apps and app data on the internal storage, loads of apps installed and still plenty of space for more.
Everything else goes on the sdcard.
ExFat.

Sometimes apps like Facebook can take up a few hundred of MBs and the average size of the apps I installed is about 100 MBs plus some cache with them... And the actual usable storage on the tab s is much less than 16gb, so once I installed too many apps, the shortage of internal storage comes... Btw What kind of apps can I use to extend the internal storage to the SD card? Or is there any way to reverse the storage without using the Xposed?

Link2sd Pro and Foldermount being 2 that I've used. Link2sd Pro being my preference.
