Can DSU use the full storage of my phone?
I don't want to use half storage for DSU, and half for stock.

Hi guys, I used to mod my old G1 all the time, never had a need to on the Desire until now, I'm running out of room every day!
I have a rooted Desire with rooted stock ROM, I'm wanting to do apps2sd old style (not the google way!)
What's the best way to go about this?
I have a 16Gb card in the phone but I don't want to lose any apps or settings I already have installed (I have backed my SD card up to my PC so I can put the 3 partitions on)
Once I have set the 3 partitions, what do I install to enable Apps2SD and where from?
any help appreciated
Anyone?
Maff, from my Tab
I'm in the same boat, in addition to what "mmace" has asked, is it actually possible to use app2sd on stock roms once rooted, and also, for those that are using apps2sd, is it possible to unmount your card and use it as a storage device on your pc, or will that screw everything up...
Hi guys. I know the answer must be hidden somewhere but I have to make a quick decision about buying a Desire (I have a short term offer). So if I have a new Desire and I root it etc, then I should make a partition on the card of 512MB, using lets say Rom Manager. Then if I install a ROM containing A2SD+ , I should be able to install all the apps I want without worring about the internal storage, correct? Am I missing something?
Thank you very much ffor your time.
The internal storage memory will still go down in size as some of the stuff still gets put in there. It just won't go down as much (or as quick) with A2SD+ enabled.

And is it enough to have the generic rom from the Kitchen, containing A2SD?
I bought the phone with high expectations but was horribly let down, when I found out you can only use three gigabytes of internal storage to install apps onto. I was wondering if there was a way to reparation the internal drive to utilize the full thirty two gigabytes? I have the latest TWRP and CM11 installed on the device right now.
Thanks.

There is, but it is very tedious and If you're not careful, it can ruin your phone.

it is on all oppo devices..don't ask why only oppo knows..here is a link to the unified storage method which has been updated by @coldbird
into flashable zips it works better with a ex sdcard as you can get a 128GB card and whammo you are laughing,he also has custom roms and nightlies regularly updated on the thread but the rom he has worked on mainly is namelessrom

Unless I did something wrong, this method didn't work for me.
The instructions seemed simple enough, just boot into fastboot mode, run the attached .bat file and wait.
After running the .bat, the phone wiped all app data, like running a factory reset, but upon rebooting, Settings> Storage will show the internal storage as a solid 29gb of unified storage space.
I happily used it thinking I had the full internal storage capacity for nearly three days until I started getting storage warnings.
My phone was saying I had used 2.96gb of my available 29gb internal storage and it was STILL behaving like it had the 3gb storage cap.
I couldn't install any more apps and any file I attempted to download from the browser failed.
I had made a backup before testing this, so I just ran the .bat again, un-unified the internal storage, and restored the backup.
My phone is back to normal, but the 3gb storage cap is still there.
If anyone could point out what I did wrong, I would be more than appreciative.
Edit: re-reading the instructions, I think I know what went wrong. nevermind this.
You need a unify compatible ROM to work this setup.
You probably kept using ColorOS or something.
Hello. I have recently unlocked my phone and now I am flashing some custom roms to test around with, but some roms when they don't install, they leave 112 gigabytes of junk and then they make the storage inaccessible? What's the reason behind this? I know how to remove all of the junk, but I just want to know why does that happen?
Normally you have to format data to remove the junk.The "junk" is actually your internal storage and data which is encrypted by default.
Because they are encrypted, the phone can't understand what they are and they get classified as "other" in settings.
And since they are basically nothing more than junk files anymore (because they cant be decrypted) they fill up your phone.
Hi all. Is it possible to wipe everything but the internal storage before flashing a different ROM? I have a load of stuff on my storage and don't want to have to copy it all off and then back on again afterwards when want to change to a different ROM. Used to do this all the time on my other phones
Thanks
I'm sorry to say that I don't think there is a way. It's been asked a few times before, but I haven't found any way to do that. That's one of my pet peeves for not having MicroSD card slots on the Pixels (and many devices these days).
If TWRP is ever updated for Android 12, plus made available for the Pixel 6/Pro, then we should be able to do that.
I routinely backup everything in internal storage to my PC for the express purpose of doing what you ask. I use wireless FTP but you can do it anyway you want. It is easily restored after wiping. As far as doing this with TWRP, I've all but given up hope for that to ever work again. It is effectively obsoleted I'm afraid.
I have my p6pro internal storage synced to OneDrive with the onesync ultimate app, except for /data , but Swift backup takes care of that.
