I run out of memory today when I tried to install some app. Of course there is possibility to move some apps to SD card, but this is external SD. I checked and the whole internal SD is free - only 756KB used, 2.05GB free. Now newbie question - is it possible to use internal SD to store apps?

[kyan31]

I dont think the internal sd card functions when an sd card in inserted into the phone. The internal sd card is only used when you dont have your own one.

Paul did a hack or something swapping the sd cards around

ask him to post how he did it or something

There is an option on where you want to install apps.
settings, Application, preferred install location.

That is very interesting. Lots of people already asked how to do it....

I'm  99% sure "internal device storage" option is not equal to internal SD. It is not that easy.

Selecting internal means storing on user data partition

[Davidoff59]

So whats that setting for then if not for apps? 2GB of space for what purpose? Confused now

[jikobutsu]

I think what paul did is swap the internal data with internal sd so instead of the 700mb you have a 2gb internal partition

i done the same kind of thing for my lg by editing vold.fstab

[jikobutsu]

Sounds good.

What exactly needs doing ? If not to difficult I can probably do it on my g300 now if you give instruction ?

I am confused,why has this affected my sd card when it is for internal sd card ?

no, you just need to revert the mount points, if it says you need to formate the card just ignore it
just flash the revert.zip or a rom and it will all be back to normal

[jikobutsu]

Flash ? The phone is dead,no recovery no power on absolutely nothing

[toge64]

you've broken jikos phone lol

[tillaz]

mount storage via clockwork recovery, should work as normal

[jikobutsu]

There is no recovery the phone is full bricked...it bricked when i tried to boot into recovery

At least we know how to brick the phone now

Edited by jikobutsu, 19 June 2012 - 12:02 AM.

[jikobutsu]

Adb devices shows nothing,update.app(using fresh sd card with dload folder)does not work,it is complete brick

Well I still have recipt for purchase but its been over a month now


Even if I did put the other zip to reverse the first one it would of been pointless as booting into recovery caused the brick,how I do not know,
I expect you are scratching your head too


You might want to delete those links above tillaz.

[Frankish]

Sales of goods act has you covered for 6 months with a receipt as proof of purchase. Not sure how it's bricked?

[jikobutsu]

Anyone got any ideas ? it looks bad,windows does not even pick up usb device

I know it is bricked,been here before with my first android GT540


I dont understand how it bricked,very strange,but it sure is a brick.
