Hi everyone,
Today I got the gt-i9195. I know it has 8 GB of internal storage. I inserted my 32 GB sdcard. But the phone still detects the 8 GB as the external sdcard and the 32 GB sdcard as a second storage. Is there any way to set the 32 GB card as the primary card so that every app accesses the proper storage?
Phone is still unrooted and has stock rom.

I'm also interested... clearly the root is needed.
And disabling emulated sdcard would be the best (so this space is used only for /data).
I think there is no need of such thing, first you need root then try foldermount (lidroid file explorer+super mount works fine) to move your large folders to sd card like obb files, downloads, music and all folders

Use an app called "gl to sd", this is the easiestv way to store large game data to the SD.

I listen that it doesn't work with S4 mini.
I already know that FolderMount works very good to move large games to external sdcard (clearly having root), also on S4 mini.
But in this thread, it is asked another question: external sdcard mounted into /mnt/sdcard.

Any script to swap internal to external sd card for i9190 ?
Don't see the point of swap all internal to external since external is slower and you loose 6gb of storage, but i think you need a init.d support kernel and script like int2sd+
@iKlutz how you get it working?

1) the internal sd (/mnt/sdcard) is an emulated sdcard (/data/media) and it shares the space with the user data (/data): unique partition.
So disabling the internal sdcard, the 6gb of storage become all for user data.
2) The external sdcard isn't slower if you have a microsd SDXC class 10: you only gain more space in /mnt/sdcard.
God I hate these useless comments on these sdcard threads like "you dont need that/theres no need for that/use folder mount etc.", if you aren't here to answer the question nor help with it, don't comment.
@DeusEx80 i can see what you talk about its about having all 6gb of the internal avilable for /data, i think what you need is something like init.d script to mount /data/media/0 (mnt/sdcard) to external sdcard, im no expert but thats the way to get it, for me until its developed the best way is something like folder mount.

Nothing special.. I just opened the menu options, chose move data and selected games with large data to move to the SD card. After it's been moved, I click the chain icon to Mount the SD card data folder and then press the blue play button and voila, it works.

Hello everyone.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0.1 with A2SD enabled.
My internal memeory seems to be almost completely full though i have nothing installed in it.
I cleared the cache a look through almost all my apps, but i really can't figure out why i have no space left.
Usually i have more than 100MB free space even with many more applications installed, so something must be using all my internal mem.
Do i have to clean my internal memory each time i flash a new ROM or something like that?
When you flash a new rom you do a factory reset and clear dalvik cache. As for your memory being almost full, depending on how the a2sd script works and what it puts onto the SD card, data can still install to internal memory. Like the dalvik cache. If you can, use a file manager to see what is using memory.

could you please tell me how i use a file manager to check what's using my memory?

Use root explorer. It will show the space available on each nand partition.

Okay thank you all guys.
I bought root explorer and look around a bit, and ofcause i came across the dalvik-cache.
The Dalvik-cache is nothing less than 85mb, which is pretty huge right?
is there any way i can shrink the case/is it possible that the cache contains information from my old rom, which does nothing else than using the space?
You could wipe it through recovery then reboot and see what it looks like then..

I have a problem similar to this, but I had installed Intercepter-NG, and forgot to tell the program to use my SD card, and it filled up the internal memory with logs.
Now I can't get to the logs, because I have lost my USB cable.
Is there a free program for the Galaxy Y S5360 that will let me look in Internal Memory and delete the logs??

You don't need your usb cable to browse your own phone
There are many free programs, search the play store for a file manager...
Uninstall some apps if you need to make space
Or...is there an option within this interceptor app to delete the logs directly?

What do you mean exactly by "can't see"?
If you can't see it in the file explorer though if that what you mean.
Link2sd mounts the 2nd SD partition on /data/sdext2 I think and won't be needed to be accessed by a user because link2sd will manage the apps and caching automatically.
I hope this helped you

You can't see it but it's mounted. Link2SD deals with everything bro.

This guy did this and he have 834 mb free space. But i have 40 mb free space.
But i already did partitioning.
Your friend is using data2SD and you are using Link2SD. Data2SD merges together your internal storage and your ext4 partition and makes your phone see those like one and that's all, no control after that. When you using Link2SD it won't show total empty space there where you want it but partition is there, link2sd will take care of everything (if you did setup ok) and you have total control over your apps so link2sd makes better choice for most of ppl here...
No worries, if you did all like it should be those 40mb of free space shouldn't change in long time even after install tons of apps

Thanks for the answers guys.
Here is the problem:
"There isn't any space"
"Nearly all apps at SD and this is the situation"

Hmmm seems like your Link2sd options are wrong... Open link2sd, go to settings and be shure that auto link and relink lib files at boot are checked. Under Auto link settings all three options should be checked. Under Install location, automatic or external should do the job.
Now you should go back to app list, hit Multi-select option and choose all app's that you wanna (or better, you can) move to external space... When you selected apps hit Actions button and choose Create link... That should do the job

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin
The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.
No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable
They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.
And what i have to do?
What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.
I use Ext4
I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?

I believe moving anything will cause problems.

I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.
I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?
Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.
I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.
I'd love to post directly to the thread in the developers section to ask this, but until then, can someone testing The Classic v0.0.9 let us know how internal storage is with the latest update?
I'm currently on Classic v0.0.6 with a substantial number of apps moved to SD card with Apps2SD Pro, and still only have about 47 mb of available space in Internal Storage. Just wondering if the latest version has more/less/or about the same amount of internal storage than v0.0.6?
Thanks

I'm running 0.0.9 and have a ton of free storage, however I'm using dta2sd on a partitioned SD card. I'm not familiar with apps2sd pro.
sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg.
Apps2SD Pro just moves part of the app. Data and cache still stay in the internal storage of the phone for the apps. If you use a lot of apps you may want to partitioned your sd card and flash dta2sd. This way the app and data will be moved to sd partition. You can even move the cache if needed. Hope that helps.
I wasn't familiar with dta2sd. Just read some posts stating that this rom already has it. Should I move the apps back to phone using Apps2SD, uninstall Apps2SD, then move to apps back again with dta2sd?

Is your sd card partitioned? If not you must do so to use dta2sd. Just make sure to backup all data from your sd card to your pc before doing so.
Sorry. I did mean to include in earlier post that my SD card is partitioned already. Thanks for all of the help.

Then all you need to do is go into terminal emulator. Type su. Then type a2sd reinstall. This will activate A2SD and move your apps and data to the sd partition. This is if the rom you have has a2sd baked in already. If not you will need to flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715938
Thanks, this worked for me as well!
I'm not sure if it's related, but after flashing DT a2sd, I was able to reinstall the google search box widget on Classic Rom. For some reason, I kept getting errors about a month or 2 ago. So I tried to uninstall/reinstall. For the past month or so, when tried to reinstall/download from Play, I kept getting error message.
Thanks again for this recommendation on a2sd.

Hey guys,
Just got my new microSD card (64GB) and when I went to put it in the S3, it said that it was damaged and needed to be formatted. Formatting didn't work on the phone so I read up on the issue and someone suggested formatting it with EaseUS Partition tool. Did so ... formatted to FAT32. When I then insert into the phone, no issues ... or at least no warnings.
Put on a test video file and insert into the phone and use Root Explorer to go to external_sd in the root menu ... nothing shows up.
Any thoughts?
AOKP JB Milestone 1
I'm not completely sure about this but I think the 64gb cards need to be formatted as exFat, which I believe only stock touchwiz kernels support. So if I'm right you can't use it with an aokp or CM rom. Like I said though, I'm not totally sure about it.

Found a solution.
1. Download and install EaseUS Partition Master (http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm). I used the Home Edition. One slight thing to note is that EaseUS asks you for a series of things to do to the SD card before it actually does them. So you tell it to delete a partition, create a partition, format it a specific way and THEN you apply all the actions and it runs it like a batch file.
2. Delete any existing partitions on the SD card.

3. Create a partition
4. Create the partition as the Primary Partition and set the File System as FAT32
5. Apply the changes
6. Choose Yes
You should now be able to plug the MicroSD card into your S3 and have it recognized. If you are using Root Explorer, you can find your external SD card in the root menu under ... you guessed it ... external_sd.
Hope this helps. Cheers
Thanks for posting your solution! Definately good to know you can use the 64gb card this way. Could've sworn id seen folks say it had to be exFat, but I'm glad you put that rest for me!
Just to be sure though, you can see the full available storage correctly?

Yes, I can see the full available storage capacity. It currently shows as 249.88MB used (2 video files) and 59.22GB free. The missing space is normal due to the drive manufacturers claiming larger capacities than is actually usable.
Not to thread jack or anything, I figured it was relevant to the topic instead of making a new one. I'm having the same exact issue, except my card isn't 64gb its only 4gb. I formatted to fat32 and the phone acts like it wants to load, but Doesn't do anything.
Any idea or suggestions? Should I change to the stock kernel? I'm on liquid smooth rc7 btw.

You could give that a shot, but I can't think of any kernel not supoirting fat32.
You could also try using the sd formatter tool from www.sdcard.org
Or try what the op did to get his 64gb card working.
