hi guys ı have a new idea
this idea can be very good (of cource if we succeeded this)
firstly we will switch sd cards(external and internal)
after we did that our external sd card will be internal sd and our internal sd card will be external sd
next we will use "Swapper for root users" app (in playstore) and so we will increase ram using external sd(not real external sd this is internal sd we switched sd cards dou you remember)
that's it :victory:
we will be developed the our phone from 2 ways
firstly we will be increased the ram
secondly we will be increased the storage (from 1.7 gb to 4,8 or 16 gb)
also in my opinion the internal sd card is very fast and durable so internal sd card is faster than external sd cards even class 10
meaning that our increasing ram app (swapper for root users) will work pretty good :good:
guys if we succeeded we will kill 2 birds with one stone haha
Swapper causes hard brick on Galaxy W.
Also, to swap sdcards, just change a line in build.prop file (JB), or change it on Configurations (ICS), or change vold.fstab (GB).

there's many people hardbrick their phone just because using swapper apps on google store..but if you can make it possible,then u are genius..i wait for the good news..good luck bro

Its not a new idea. If you want more ram you can make virtual ram in internal using Turbo Boost, because swapping ram in sdcard will damage your sdcard. So, use internal (/cache /data and /system) is the best solution for swapping ram. Some people said its make their phone so laggy, for that problem you can fix it easily, just decrease the vm.swappiness value in init.d, or change your swapfile value to more high, but u must to remember, choose too big size of swap in /data or /system will make "insufficient storage available"-problem appear.

I use the search system and have tried this solution, but it didn't work. I have a 4 GB SD card and I am running Jankarutu's XE ROM and I would like to be able to partition the SD card equally so I can put 2 GB on my internal memory and use the other 2 GB for storage. Can someone please help me out? I only have 30 MB left, and that's after using Link2SD and linking all my apps.
hello .. have you changed your kernel? if I'm not mistaken you need a compatible kernel ..... I have done my personal rom with sd of course support system .. a factory reset wipe, wipe a Dalvik, and then wipe cache .. I install the custom ROM, I did another wipe and wipe Dalvik cache without restarting I flash the kernel and it's good I have 130 MB of free once a reboot is but I use it just may be a2sdgui of ..
the swap would not apparently enough relative to the wear on the SD card to be seen as
Thanks for the reply. I actually found a different guide that tells you how to trick your phone into thinking the external is really internal memory by replacing the void.fstab file? in the /system/etc directory and it worked. I am going to buy a 32 gb card and do it

can you please share the thread were you find the tutorial.
Thank you in advance.
Is there any reason why link2sd is not workable on s-on device? Is it a ROM problem or is it a security r/w problem?
If it is ROM problem, is it possible to modified the official ROM a little bit so as it could support link2sd whilst still be flashed via Official RUU?
Can't be done with S-ON. You need S-OFF, root, and a custom ROM that supports it.
By default the XE rom has data2sd script built in. You have to partition half of your SD card as ext 4, then wipe your caches and you should boot with 2 gb internal memory...however I think that is the maximum amount capable on this rom.
Props to Jikantaru,alquez,methadron, and to all the other up and coming chefs, you guys made this phone pimp!

It is. I tried partitioning 9 GB and it got stuck on the HTC boot-loop. Going to try an unlimited memory ROM and see if it works If not, I'm perfectly fine with 2 GB of internal memory, but would be nice to get least 8 or 9 as I bought a 16 GB card for that purpose
Also, to the user asking for the tutorial, here is the link
Someone swapped the internal memory of their Galaxy with their sd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474
Is this possible with the WFS? The Galaxy has two internal memory partitions: an internal phone memory and an internal "sd" memory. The hack worked bc they were able to swap the internal sd memory with external sd memory.
Is the internal memory of the WFS partitioned like this? Will this trick work? I'm really in need of more memory, even with link2sd. I can't use jikantura's rom bc I have a cdma phone...

One thing you can do is with Titanium backup pro, melt some of the bloatware out of the system/apps area and integrate sys d-cache files into the ROM.
With the stock 2.35 I was able to free up 35 MB of ROM memory and integrate 24 MB of sys d-cache into the rom. Along with integrating updates for facebook, maps etc, I am running with over 400 mb of programs on the Ext2 partition and all their data internal with 65 mb internal still free for data and quickstart apps.
Worth a shot.
hi dev, is it possible to merge internal memory and sdcard memory into 1 partition? Or by using emmc method to swap sdcard with external flash but use the sdcard 2gb as a swap space for android system which possible speeding up SGW since i notice SGW has very limited ram memory to play around with 384mb.
Actually I've been meaning to discuss that with Arco but I don't think it's possible.
Our phone has 512RAM but about 200MB are always reserved for the android system, and the 384MB left are for us. However I can never seem to have more than 191MB.
if i'm not wrong the 200mb was reserved for the dalvik machine. i'm still new so everything is guessing. please correct me if i'm wrong. I'm trying to learn and hopefuly can contribute to the community too. cheers
From what I understand, they are 3 separate devices, with different capacity. Maybe we can mount them to different path? Before using the decades swap, I was using an application called directory bind created by a member of xda. Basically it automates the mount -o bind command. I have no idea what to use the internal memory for.

SGW hardware is build with 512MB RAM. 4gb internal memory which work just like ordinary computer hard-drive however samsung did a partition on this 4gb internal memory and it become 1gb internal and 2gb sdcard the other 700mb was for the rom. For the microsd we slot in will become external memory. if we do the swap thingy script as mention by adlihebat above it will change the 2gb sdcard to external memory and the microsd to sdcard. So my question is, is it posible for the dev to merge the 2gb sdcard back to the internal memery. or they can make use of this 2gb as swap space for the android system. because SGW is really lag of ram maybe by doing this will help SGW gain some performance.
Used to have a great app Link2SD when I was on Froyo which used to move dalvik cache, lib and .apk files to external SD but doesn't work on Gingerbread unfortunately.

Sounds feasible, i think in theory this need to be done in recovery mode. Modify the partition table as we want it. But need a new rom that will recognize/take advantage of the new partitions. I wish i have time to do all this.

Yesterday, i just try this app.
my sd card class 4 only... so i change the sd card directory to usb stroage / sd card 0
i don't use that space at all.
What i want to know is, will it damage internal space? or we so called usb stroage.

I'm not that an expert but I don't recommend you try the SWAP SD kind of APP because it may brick your phone !
CyanogenMod 10 Alpha 5™… XD
iv been using that app since the last 1 1/2 month.didnt hv any problem.but im using class 10 external sd.in my opinion dont swap memory from your internal sd card nor the phone memory.the swap memory is recommended only for class 6 n above.some said 8 and above.the internal sd card has a class below the requirement n if the internal sd card damages i really didnt know how to get it repaired since it mounted(CMIIW).just make swap from your external sd with class 10 or 8.if your external sd breaks u can easily replaced it.

swap thing is to risky for class4 microsdcard.
Please DON'T use your internal storage for this. This type of storage has a limited read/write cycle life span. By using it this way you ARE prematurely "ageing" this storage partition, and WHEN it fails, the repair won't be cheap.....it will definitely be cheaper to buy the correct class of extSD card and use that instead......

I have used this app, and there is some noticeable improvement, but only on class 10 cards. Anything below there will be little to no noticeable performance increase.
But you can always try.
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!

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

I've typically found apps to external sd to be unreliable and I also found from experience the more your external sd is used, the greater the drain on battery life. Throw media (music, photos, etc) on your external sd and any roms, backups to limit their impact on your internal sd and also to maintain good battery life.
I agree, moving apps to SD is not such a good idea. Maybe move only obb files from large games to SD card - you can use FolderMount to map SD card folders to internal storage. You can also use it to move i.e. GPS apps maps to SD card etc.
If you are running low on memory I recommend folder mount for moving things to sd card. A lot of people use the internal to external memory switch script but I've not tried that myself
