Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini LTE GT-I9195 which comes with 8GB of internal storage and has a SD Card with 64GB.
Currently, I am running CyanogenMod 11 and the internal storage is full.
Current internal storage
Total disk space: 5,33 GB
Available space: 526 MB
Current SD Card storage
Total disk space: 58,56 GB
Available space: 46,01 GB
I wish to Re-Partition internal Storage so I can use "Internal Storage" + "SD Card Storage" together to enlarg currend app data storage.
I know this can be done with a pit file but I failed to find one on the Internet so that I can with Odin Re-Partition my device. After I am done with this I will install from scratch CyanogenMod 12.1
Can someone please help?
Thank you
I used to use such methods on my S2 and found it very useful. Maybe hit up one of the devs on that forum to see if they'll do this for us?
I use some Xposed modules to move large data across to my external SD. XinternalSD.
Maybe have a look at Link2SD, though I'm not sure it's compatible...
Also I know there is something called pit magic or something like that, that can make custom pit files. Not sure about that one though. But worth a Google.
Thank you for posting your reply.
Indeed, I do have the pit file for the Galaxy S2 (which I will be using it soon).
Beside this post, I do not know how to ask some devs on this forum to kindly spend some time helping me out. I know there is a pit file for the Galaxy S4 but not for the S4 mini.
There are a lot of S4 mini in the market and it is a pity that Samsung has neglected this device being still stuck at 4.2.x Samsung also recently announced that this model will NOT be updated to Lollipop. So, a dead device.
At least with a pit file and a nice ROM (like CyanogenMod) this device can be nicely used and still be a worth purchase being done or yet to do.
PLEASE HELP, if anyone can. I appreciate any effort and thank in advance for your help.

PLEASE HELP!!!
I bought a 16GB Galaxy Note 2, i want to swap my internal 16 gb with my 32 gb external,
i found a thread and did that,
now in Storage section my Device Memory shows as 29.xx gb and in my computer's browser my int SD memory shows as Card and my External Class 10 Memory shows as Phone, BUT THE BIG THING IS:
in android's app manager section it's still shows that i have 9.xx GB available for my apps
I flashed my phone with a alpha kernel with init.d support and then i flashed it with a zip that contains the scripts to swap my memories
so for now i use stock samsung firmware with a custom init.d support Kernel
what did i miss ?
PLEASE SOMEONE ASSIST ME WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSED?:crying:
Thank u my beloved developers, i really proud of all of u guys
re
i have been trying to find out how to do this for a while now, you wouldn't mind posting your method and links please would you. i started a thread re this as well. but no answer.
are your apps being installed now on the sd card or still going to the old internal mem.
cheers pj
Hi everyone,
I was at a store today, looking at a Galaxy tab 10" running android 4.2.2.
What I noticed when I checked settings/storage, was that it had no more internal Sdcard0 but a full 16gb partition running the Android system and about 5-6Gb free space for additional programs to install??
So here is my guestion: is this possible on the Note N5110?
What I want to do (if possible) is to "delete" the "stock" SdCard0 and expand the internal 16gb internal mem to one partition.
Then, (if i'm correct) when an SDcard of 64Gb (or less) is inserted, it will be recognized as SdCard0 instead of ExtSdcard.
I have rooted my N5110 and changed the 64Gb to be Sdcard0 and the 10gb as ExtSDcard, but that's a bit buggy sometimes.
It swaps the SDcard0/ExtSDCard mem around from time to time depending on which program you start (very annoying).
Has anyone done this? Did I miss a thread in XDA?
I tried searching, but couldn't find if this is possible or not.
Hope anyone want to answer my question
thanks!!
Wow, nobody?
I'm sure you can "trick" the android os to use the full internal rom instead of creating partitions right?
if there is a thread I missed, please let me know.

There is a script that allows you to flip the sd for the internal, which then allows apps to be installed to the sd card. Dont know if this is the kind of solution you are looking for. ?...Check link below, its for the note 2 so any and all damages done are on your head....

Yes, i've seen that script, used it, it works fine.
but, what I mean is, is there a way to combine the internal (stock) memory on the device.
Here is how I see it:
the device has 16gb internal memory in total.
however, 6gb has been partitioned for the android OS.
10gb is your internal storage to use. (that's 6gb os partition and 10gb external partition = 16gb
so my question again, can I combine those tow to 1 partition = 16gb OS partition and use the external SD card I bought as sdcard0.
one more time;
current setup:
6gb OS
10gb = sdcard0
64gb = ExtSdCard
what I want =
16gb OS
64gb sdcard0
just simple math. but maybe not possible?
And thanks for your reply mygraine :good:
Hello, first let me thank you for any help you can provide.
I have a Pumpkin X 9.6" 32GB [OCTA CORE] Android 4.4 Tablet
MTK Droid Tools lists it as the following.
Hardware: MT6582 (MT6595 is Fake!)
Model: T809C
Build Number: T809C_vEB014D_20150104
Android: 4.4.2
It's Storage is divided between Internal Storage 1.99GB and Phone Storage 27.47GB. I run out of space on the Internal storage all the time, it looks like that is where it store almost all App Data. I've moved every App to phone storage and it's not enough. I would like to repartition to 20GB Internal Storage and 10GB Phone Storage. It also has an SD expansion for up to 32GB, I tried Link2SD Plus and have not been able to make that work at all, always package failure when going to link the files to SD. The 32GB SD Card will hold any media that I would like to keep instead of having it on the tablet itself.
I have rooted with Kingo Root and it has worked fine for most things. I ran MTK Droid Tools with ADBD Insecure and ran a Backup and a NVRAM Backup. I also ran TWRP 2.8.2.0 and have that installed.
I usually muddle through things like this on my own, but since it is a knock off tablet and has no support website I figured it would be best to consult some experts so I do not brick the tablet into unusability.
I looked at HK ROM Editor and it was of no use. I have also tried to look at the files with ERBTweak, but since my ERB1 file is 1kb I don't think the program will deal with it.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Any precautionary steps I missed? Or programs to try?
Hi guys, i tried some tutorial founded around the forums, but still not able to swap the internal memory of my device (Samsung Galaxy J100H already rooted) with the external sd memory card that has a second partition in vfat32.
I tried with "external 2 internal sd" app, but nothing happens.
I tried to look after the Vold.fstab in system/etc/ but this file doesn't exist on my model, probably mounting point etc. are located differently so i don't know how to find e modify the script.
Someone could help with this? Thank you for now. (hope this is the right section to post)
Hi guys! First of all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.
I have a Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime, with 8GB of internal memory. But 8GB is not enough in any way for android, upgrades & apps.
Ok, I read that Android v6.0 has support for merging internal and external memory in the way that Android reconizes it as single storage. My problem is that my phone doesn't show me that option. Just says "Format as portable storage", not “Format as internal” as I read at a forum. I have installed a SD card class 10 but this is not the problem.
This is a Samsung custom setting? I need to root my phone? It's possible to do it?
Thanks for any help!

Yes, Samsung disables this option from all their devices with the excuse being: "If your MicroSD card fails, which is totally common to fail, you will lose all your apps and apps' data" (but in my opinion and a lot of people's opinion, they disable it to force you to buy a device with bigger storage )
There are two ways to do this, with root and without
If you have root, you can use the app "Root Essentials" from the PlayStore. It'll show you step by step on how to set up adoptable storage.
If you do not have root, you have to input some commands via adb, which I do not know how to do. You will have to research this on your own.
But, just as an advice. Even with adoptable storage, it doesn't work as you would expect it to work. Not all apps will be transferred to the external memory and you'll still get the message that you are running out of memory even if you have 7 out of 16 GB used up. It's not that great.
Hello, i would like to ask about this too.
I have adopted a 16Gb sandisk UHS-I SD Card to my 8Gb Samsung J2 Prime G532G, but the storage at file manager is still 8Gb and no SD Card access. BUT at storage settings it shows 13.40Gb used out of 22.80Gb. So, where did the rest go at file manager?
