Is it possible to upgrade the memory in the note 2? I saw the external sd swap deal but I'm asking if there is a way to upgrade the internal memory with a hard mod. Silly question I know but maybe it could be done and I'll never know if I don't ask

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.
So, I got my device s-off and rooted, was pretty excited when I had those stuff done.
But now,
Internal memory is still an issue, I read on xda like, removing the bundled or stock software comes with the phone won't make the internal memory get increased because those files are stored somewhere else that won't effect the total usable internal memory. Plus removing stock apps will stop using OTA updates.
So is there a trick that I can increase the internal memory of my phone? I already use the default save location setted to sd card, and moving apps to sd but it always leaves some files at internal memory.
I read somewhere like, I can make phone use my sd card's some part as internal memory, I saw a rom offering that but except that is there any program offering this without flashing rom?
And I have some knowledge about Linux, so I was wondering do I have a chance to use symlink command (symbolic link) to link my internal memory to sd card ?
Best way is to use a ROM with Darktremor Apps2SD preinstalled. I don't know whether it will work if you install it now.
The best alternative, in my opinion, is to format a partition of your SD card to ext3 with this guide and then use Link2SD.The partition can be as big as you want, but I believe that 500 MB should be enough.
It will earn you some space but not as much as the Darktremor Apps2SD will.
Thanks for the answer, I used the guide and Link2SD, but i am a bit confused here, I also use apps 2 sd program,
So for using less possible internal memory of my phone,
Should I install apps to phone memory and then link to sd card with link2sd
or
Install app in sd card (or move it with link2sd to sd card) then link?
Right now one of apps shown as Linked -> SD card. So is this the best scenario?
Because when I choose move to SD in Apps 2 SD, Link2SD says move to SD also, so it kinda like they conflict
To tell you the truth I'm not completely sure for what is better, but what I did was to first link all of them (application, dalvik & library if possible) and then move them to sd card with App2SD. I think there was a slight difference to the free space but nothing noticeable. Sorry, but I'm no expert, so everything I did was by trial and error!
I'm currently using a Galaxy Note 2. And I'm having issues with my microSD card. Just 2 questions:
1) Is it true that the latest Galaxy phones spoils microSD cards easily?
2) I had previously used mattiadj's memory swap mod to swap external memory to internal memory to put apps to sd. But unfortunately, my 32GB microSD card fried. Now that I've got a new one, when I installed the mod again, my storage details shows both internal and external as 32GB. And files from my phone memory can't be read at all.
Can anyone kindly help me more on the 2nd question? Really depressed to lose all photos and data and now can't figure out how to get that extra memory space. Many thanks!
1) Yes, Note 2 does have some issues with those SD cards, Even mine also got fried...

If this is the mod you used it says you can access the internal memory through astro it es file manager.
Good luck

Hello everyone, you see I bought an SD 32GB
I want to know if there is a way to use as a primary this card and not the internal memory of the phone, not only want to save the photos, videos, music and that's in the options it brings to change the storage location, what I want is practically unusable leave 5 or 6GB approximate giving the 8GB internal that has to be used, perhaps unusable is not the right word because it sounds like that is damaged or something, but it is not the case
Practically what I want is that everything, absolutely all the information found in the internal memory, change to SD and automatically this as the main stay, to save all kinds of things
I want to split if the SD memory is possible 15/15 or 20/10 GB, for use as internal memory and SD card, so that when you look in the phone information displayed instead of 6GB, this amount as internal memory
Having explained this I think should understand why use the word "useless" because practically 6GB memory brings the phone would no longer be used, everything would be stored in memory SD
I have a Redmi 1S
I'm using the latest Rom V7 China
I think you get to read something like this was possible in Redmi 1, but if I remember one of the cons of doing so was that he should spend a minute after ignition to take effect, which means that if for any reason you should save or something came in that moment the phone memory usage would be 6GB, and not the SD, which I want to avoid at all times if possible in the Redmi 1S
If anyone can help me, I appreciate it!
Please accept my apology for any grammatical errors in advance since English is not my first language
cm 13 has the option to make external sd to be used as internal sd and the rom will format your external sd so make backup if need to, and 2 partition is possible android mm will automatically mount your second partition as removable storage aka external storage. you may need a very fast sdcard. dont blame me if it not work for you since i dont try it myself

if you want 2 partitions you better partition the sdcard 1st on your pc, its up to you which size. the rom will ask what you want u want to do with the sdcard (it will mount 2 partition if u have 2 partitions). since i dont try it myself you better heading to cm13 thread
