In the Settings/SD & phone Storage, it shows
SD CARD
Total Space: 1.9GB
Available Space: 1.1GB
INTERNAL STORAGE
Total Space: 6.6GB
Available Space: 6.2GB
PHONE MEMORY
Total Space: 748MB
Available Space: 210MB
Is it possible to move my apps to INTERNAL STORAGE? I tried Link2SD and App 2 SD, but it doesn't allow me to move my apps to internal storage, only from phone to SD card. Thanks!
I don't think that it is possible to move apps to the internal storage. I'm not sure why there is such a huge space that is essentially useless on this phone. At any rate, the easiest way to fix any problem that you have been having is by buying a larger SD card. I know that it probably isn't what you wanted to hear but I think it is the easiest solution. I am not 100% sure but I think that the largest SD supported by the dinc is 8gb, I wouldn't mind being able to stick in a 16gb or 32gb and have all of my music readily available instead of using google play but GP is certainly a great alternative, especially with my grandfathered unlimited data I hope this helps!
I do believe CM7 has an option to switch what you use for internal storage.
If your getting the low space warning or just want to install more apps without getting it, then check out the ext4 mod. It moves your apps data from a tiny partition to a much larger partition giving you more room for apps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488351

Don't a lot of the ROMs have that mod built in now?

Yes there are many that do.
The dinc should support up to 32 Gb sdcards according to the specs. I'm using a 16Gb card with no problems.
Also, as has been said, on CM7 you can switch the mounting of the internal storage (emmc) and the sdcard, so the phone sees the emmc as the sdcard. This would allow you to put apps on the emmc.
I must say it seems a bit odd how HTC set up the partitions on the dinc. It is good for one thing though - if your'e a ROM flashing addict, Boot Manager can install ROMS to the emmc. The emmc is faster than your average sdcard, so it works great.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm not sure, but is this ROM EMMC supported to switch to internal storage?

It says "EMMC PC mount works" but not sure if I could use this to store my apps in. If it is, do I just drag the apps folders into here?
Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

Emc pc mount means when you plug the phone to the pc and select disk drive the sd and emmc mount to the pc. I assume at one point the rom had issues doing so.
Chek out an app called link2sd. It can move apps to both the sdcard an emmc.

In Link2SD, it only shows MOVE TO SDCARD, not EMMC..

In the link2sd preferences there is an option to activate saving to emmc.
I see...
Native apps2SD settings > Install Location > Automatic, Internal, or External.
If I choose Internal, it will store the apps in the drive with the 6.6GB?
Update:
It's not saving the apps in the Internal Storage that has 6.6GB, it's either saving it on my phone or sdcard

I'm not getting a low on space issue, just wanting to move apps to the 6.6 GB internal storage section.

The ext 4 mod moves the /data/data partition on to a folder on the l data partition giving you significantly more space to install apps. You.could mount the emmc as sd an vise versa then mobe apps to the sd card which is actually the emmc.
The link I put, is that it?

Yes it is.
Your 2GB is the MicroSD external card, mounted by CM7 as "SD Card", and is used by almost everything, including app storage.
Your 6.6GB is a partition of the eMMC internal card, advertised as an internal 8GB, mounted by CM7 as "/mnt/emmc", and used by almost nothing. Some people use it as a media drive and place their music, pictures, and videos here.
Your 748MB is a partition of the eMMC internal card, mounted by CM7 as "Internal Storage", and is used by the system and the apps. A 150MB partition within this partition called "/data/data" causes "low on space" problems, which can be fixed by uninstalling certain apps or using the Ext4 mod.
If you didn't upgrade your MicroSD card, and you don't use the eMMc for media, you could force CM7 to use the 6.6GB instead of the 2GB. CM7 usually has an option for this called "Use internal storage" but I can't find it on the CM7 builds for the Incredible. So I used the following procedure instead:
1. Copy all the files in your current SD card to the eMMc
2. Edit the vold.fstab file manually, or download it here: https://www.box.com/s/e66b71720ce28911167d
3. Copy the file over using adb or root explorer
adb
Code:
adb remount
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
root explorer
Code:
use PC to transfer vold.fstab to your SD card
open root explorer
copy the vold.fstab file
navigate to /system/
navigate to /etc/
mount as r/w
paste the file
4. reboot and enjoy

It does not work. Only way I've read about so far is to root the phone and use something that is called directory binder or something.
When unrooted it is up to the apps to support data storage on the external sd (just storage, not a complete "move app" function)

I'm rooted, I will check the directory binder
As a complement, the ext4 partition is not seen when I connect the phone to my computer, so I cannot install big video files on it.
I want to use this application in this mobile to change the external memory for internal and like that to gain space, but not since I it have to form.
Help!!
Could you explain more?
What have you done, root does not give you the ability to swap internal with external, it just handle the permissions to write in the "system" another program have to do that with root permission.
You want to exchange internal (emulated/0) sdcard with external SD card?
That's going to be complicated
Just use foldermount or similar program to symlink your heavy directories from internal (emulated/0) to external, you will need root.

If, I want to change the micro sd into the internal memory. To be able to use the micro sd as storage. Also I have a SIII Mini and thanks to this program I could have changed both memories.
I see that's the name of the program.
For what I see
You need a kernel with init.d support

That I have to put in every option?
Our device hav too small storage. so I want to switch internal to external storage but every way are failed
But if the kernel have changed those mount point, can it be succes??
So i tried some basic way but cant..
Help plz,
We can use Large storage!!!
If you are OK with rooting your device, you can use Link2SD and Foldermount to use your External SD card. you just need to flash Init.d support mod after rooting. then install Link2SD and/or Foldermount

Yeah I'm using FolderMount but I want every app's downloaded files be in EXT_sd.
Everytime I organize my files, it's too bothersome.
the new Link2SDplus does it all

Link2SD needs a specific EXT formatted partition on your external SD in order to work. follow a Link2SD installation guide..
Hello.
What I have:
- SM-P605 on android 4.4.2 - rooted
- 32gb SD card formated as FAT32
What is my Goal?
Around 12gb internal space for installation is for me not enough. I have external sd card 32gb and I want to use it as a place where I can install games and apps.
I have tried few applications which "move" game data but they do not move all the data only installation folder (Hearthstone- apps move only 58mb and game has over 2gb used space)
I saw some tutorial how to swap internal sd with external by modification of vold.fstab but it was only for older system versions(or I do not know what to change to make it work)
Tried to change install location by adb using command: adb shell pm set-install-location 2 but it do not work, games and apps still use internal memory.
I do not want to install any other rom since I like stock rom, but if anyone could help me in this problem I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

I have a 128 gb sd card and use the app root folder mount. The app basically does everything for you. It mounts the folder to the microsd card. If you google it and go to the xda forums youll find it and it explains how it works. I have at least 50 gb of game data stored on it and all my games work fine.
