Guest Uppy Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hey guys, I know this is a really noobish question so please dont bite my head off for asking but here goes. The internal memory on this phone is unbelievably feeble, is there a way (without installing a custom rom) to expand this by creating say for example a 2gb partition on the sd card? if so how? Is this possible in any way at all? I'd rather not instal a custom rom but if that will allow me to do this then I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redstarr1 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Did you root your phone? If so you could use Link2SD: http://android.modaco.com/topic/346620-link2sd-guide-updated-please-read/ You could also use S2E but I don't know where to find guides about that. In any case, that would also require that you root your phone. So no custom rom necessary, it kind of works exactly as you say, create a partition on your SD to link the apps to.

Nope. Just partition your card, it takes like 10 minutes to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Redstarr1 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I hope I don't really have to say this, but keep a backup of your stuff. Partitioning requires you format your sd. And smallest system partition you can go really just depends on how small you can make the rom be. But 130mb for a 2.3.5 based rom is about as far as I'd go. Anyway I have way too much apps to fit in internal so I have to use Link2SD (and I have a 200mb system partition for JB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to resize my FAT32 partition and create a new EXT partition just fine without formatting the FAT32 partition with my data on it.

Guest Uppy Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks guys, should have used the search button I guess, the tutorial was easy enough to follow even after a few beers lol. Just an aside but why after granting link2sd superuser permissions does it sometimes get denied superuser rights? usually after a restart or after not using it for several days. any idea?
