New to no SD card

So I come from Evo lineage and am excited to join the Nexus family but no micro SD is very new to me. I'm rooted and want to start flashing some jelly bean but wouldn't the roms and mod delete when I wipe data/factory reset?

Nope. Custom recoveries preserve /data/media. Anything you have on your virtual sd will stay. The only thing that will wipe it is when you unlock your bootloader.

Ok, I lied. I thought that was enough info to do some reading and figure out what to do but I can't figure out how to make a virtual sd.

Its there by default.

Huh? You don't "make" anything. In a custom recovery on the Galaxy Nexus, a "wipe" does not delete your /sdcard/ directory by default. Theres nothing special about it.

ok, I was just looking for it when connected by usb all I saw was internal storage. I got it now thanks

[MOD]App2ExtSD2 [Works for all U.S. Galaxy S3!]

This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.
All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).
E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.
Before you can use this, you will need:
1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)
2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!
3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.
4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)
To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:
Download and Details:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:
I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!
How to disable this:
If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.
OR
if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).

Has anyone tested this yet or am I the first? I installed this twice on a stock rooted rom and wiped my cache and davik but on each reboot, I had noticed it completly wipes my phone clean. Is it suppose to wipe your phone?

And what's the advantage to this besides more space if you have a bigger card? Are SD cards any faster than the memory Samsung put in?

You on TW or AOSP?
I don't have a good enough SD card to really warrant using this, but if it works it may influence my decision in investing the money on a new one.

Worked like a charm for me. Even switched the apps I had installed to the SD Card (now device memory) which I wasn't expecting.
I'm on Blazer rom. All I did was install the zip and wipe dalvik cache (I'm not sure why I did that, only because mvaughn mentioned it and I know it won't wipe anything/was prepared for a wipe).
mvaughn, are you running a rooted tw rom with init.d support? And did you possibly wipe your data by accident?
Anyway, time to buy a 64gb card lol.
EDIT: Can also confirm deleting the file as stated and restarting your phone will switch the two back as well as move your apps back to the right spot. This is very neat.

Nopper didn't wipe anything, I'm running the stock rooted rom, let me check but I was sure the Stock had init.d support here is the link to the odex stock I installed

I'm fairly certain that is just the stock rom with root in it. Init.d is probably NOT supported. Try and grab a rom with Init.d support. Blazer Rom and FreeGS3 can be very close to stock and add a lot of cool features.

There was a script to add Init.d and I cant find the link lol time to search I thought I added this script to the stock.

Maybe not....I tested this out so if you have all the requirements it should work fine. Maybe the wipe was a result of not having the Init.d.

You might have to copy all of your contents from internal to sdcard to get it back. OR use Titanium Backup app to backup or restore.
You can always take the sdcard out and reboot, that will boot you normally then plug in sdcard once booted. (That's normal boot without the sd hack)

Stock ROMs do not have init.d support. You need a kernel/rom with the support, let me see if I can post a kernel with support shortly soon.

[Q] Small storage capacity NOTE II

Hi, first sorry for my english.
I have N7100 but in menu in Storage info I have total space only 5,52 GB.
How can I get full capacity? The phone is with Stock Rom and without root.
Thanks for answers.

There are only about 10-11 GB available as internal storage by default. The rest 5-6Gb are not available for the user. So you probably have a few games installed, if you want more storage then there are a few things you can do. One is uninstall apps you don't need and the second one is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796
---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------
Hmm, I got your PM. This I have never seen before. Your TOTAL storage only shows 5.something GB of storage. There is something wrong indeed...
Did you buy this Note 2 as a new device in a shop?

It was a gift. when i found this problem i tried flash new official ROM for my region with ODIN and no change.

Ok, this is really weird. Maybe someone else knows if it is even possible to partition the internal memory of a phone. Because that could be the cause of you only seeing a part of the total storage. BUT as I said, I don't know if that is possible, or if someone did that to your device.
IF that actually IS the case, then as far as I know, only formatting the internal storage could restore the total amount back to normal.
To do that, you'd need Clockworkmod recovery I think.
BUT again: If someone could enlighten me and the OP I would be grateful.

First you have to root your phone, look here http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/
Then use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983489 and use MEGAwipe
And then you have to install a new ROM, and I suggest getting the OMEGA ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915036
in combination with PERSEUS Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852 which in my opinion is the best, most stable and safest kernel.

You are welcome, I hope you'll get all your storage capacity back. Please feel free to contact me, I'll do my best to assist you. You know that you can always get a backup app like MYBACKUP Pro to back up all your important data, call logs, apps etc. then copy them to a PC, if you have access to one. Then afterwards you can restore all the SMS, call logs, apps, etc.
It is always a good Idea to have a backup of your important data before you wipe everything
So for now, just get a backup app and do as much of a backup as you can. Then when you are ready to root you have to do a nandroid backup with CWM as soon as you can. But we'll get there when it's time.

First of all... I hate to say it but it sounds like you have a CLONE of the Note II that only has 8G of storage in it. Can you put up screenshots of the device and also have you checked under the battery, etc for information on the device?
Until you are 100% sure this is a REAL Note II - DO NOT do ANYTHING to try and root, etc or you will end up with a BRICK!

Have you made any backups? backups by default are stored internally and each one takes around 3gb... check your cwm folder on your internal storage with a file manager... honestly Ive never had to do anything extreme to free up space.. all ive done is browse the internal and find what exactly is taking up space.
Debloat and remove any system apps you dont use or wont need. and while minimal you can also delete ringtones, alarms and notifications youll never use.
you can also use foldermount to move game and app data n such to the external sd card.
as far as the bootanimation its easy enough to replace by moving the bootanimation zips over manually with a file manager, set permissions, and reboot. no flashing necessary.

ty 4 your response

The CWM backup folder is pretty well hidden unless you know where to look for it... system root-> /data/media/clockworkmod. That is more than likely what's eating your space; in fact, I would be almost positive that is where your space has gone. Either way, factory resets are safe, just realize that you lose ALL your apps + data. Anything saved on your EXTERNAL sd card are safe and won't be deleted though.

Did you try searching the forum for the answer before posting this? I assure you this has been covered at least a hundred times with various explanations and fixes.
Short version is that you probably made a CWM backup of your old ROM before flashing this one. It is saved to internal memory and taking up a ton of space.

I also had this issue after installing a few Rom's with just the standard factory reset wipe. It was fixed by switching to Philz recovery, (I was using TWRP but there is know issues with formatting your internal storage with that recovery.) And formatting the internal storage. Keep in mind this wipes the drive. Worked for me. :good:

thanks guys i found out what was the problem

Awesome. What was it? So others with that issue can use this for reference.
And also. Are you on Sprint? Be careful using anything from the T-Mobile section on your phone if you are. If not, you should update your sig info.

Backups in CWM are automatically stored in /data/media/ and the standard data wipe tends to preserve that folder. An easy fix that doesn't involve wiping your whole internal storage would be to move your backups from that location to your SD card... problem solved.
