How do I increase the system partition (ROM) in an Android?
For androids, it is said that you don’t need to worry about memory. It cleans itself automatically by stopping unused and inactive services when you are running some app which needs memory. Still, I wanted to do it as I was facing lags etc. Also, it is not acceptable to my mind. If same with you then keep reading.You can increase this system ROM by converting some Apps from System to User.Minimum Requirements:1. You must be rooted.2. You must have Titanium Backup (latest is always good). Note: It is a paid app.3. Take backup of all your Apps+Data.If you ever have looked at Overview Screen of Titanium Backup it shows you at least 3 types of Memory.1. System ROM2. Internal Memory3. SD Card (Memory) Space.System ROM consist of your ROM (firmware) with all Application which are of System Attributes. Means they either come pre-installed or are important so are in system area.So, if you look at your Titanium Backup; system ROM may show low due to many applications in Stock or Custom ROM you have. Applications such as Gmail, Maps, Browsers, Certain Games, etc are very big in size and doesn’t need to be system apps to work.Go to Backup/Restore of your Titanium Backup.Scroll to the app which you want to make User App.Now select option; “Convert to User Apps”. Wait for the notification and you are done.If you have noticed your System Rom previously, then you will see it has increased.
Can I make SD card storage as my internal memory in Samsung phone, If possible, then how?
Yes it is possible to make your SD card act as your phone’s internal storage, but it is not an easy process.Basically, android being a linux based OS uses ext3/4 as the default file system for the internal storage and all other storage formats are considered as external ones. SD card uses either FAT32 as their default file system format which makes it incompatible to act as the internal storage.So, all you gotta do is change the file system from FAT32 to ext3/4. This could be done using tools like Minitool Partition Manager for Windows . Using this tool create two partitions. One primary partition with FAT32 as the file system and another one as the secondary partition with ext3/4 as the file system.Partitioning the SD card alone is not enough, you also must make a few changes with your smartphone for which your phone must be rooted.Here is the video tutorial with the steps to perform itBefore doing this make sure you have backed up all files from you SD card, as the card will be wiped clean after the partition process.—it assistors
How do I increase app installation memory without an SD card partition method?
Partition Memory Card:So as to be bale to use a memory card as an internal memory and add to it, you must first have a partitioned memory card. So there are a number of ways you could be partitioning your memory card. here we will be suing a app named as Link2SD. This app allows your phone to use a part of the memory card as an internal memory and moves those apps on the memory card. But also latest Android versions have the same functionality but the still the files of those apps are left on the internal memory, and again you have to limit the number of apps you can install on your phone. But if you use Link2SD you could increase your internal memory of phone by no limits. Off course you will need a SD card accordingly. So let’s start. There are two ways by which you can partition your memory card, and here they go.First install the mini Partition Wizard Manager. here is the download link.insert the card reader into a card reader and open it in computer.Backup all the files present on your memory card, as in the process of making a partition you need to wipe all the data on the SD card.Open the tool you installed, and open the Memory Card in it.Right click on it, and select the “delete” option.Right click on it again, and now select the option “Create New”, Create a “FAT32″ partition. This will be the part of the memory card, where all your media files will be stored.Then Select “Create as: Primary”Then, create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition ( if you are on stock ROM choose ext2). This is the place all your apps will be stored.Then select “Create as:primary” (Make sure that it is both set as primary, because it will not be working if it is not set to primary).And now click on the “Apply” button on the top corner, and wait for the changes to take place. Congrats you have successfully partitioned the memory card by first method.
Can you simply repartition an Android phone’s internal memory to have more space for apps, instead of using Link2SD or similar tools to link apps to an SD card?
Terence Quentin , thanks for your A2A.It is possible to repartition Android phone’s internal memory, but it is not an easy task and tools available only work with some vendors and specific O.S. releases.You may find more on the subject on XDA developer website.
Help with deleting my Android system memory please?
go to the settings app. Click applications. Go to the Running tab. And click on all of the apps that you downloaded and STOP them. Close all of the carrier apps. Meaning if you have a verizon phone, STOP all of the Verizon apps. I know you dont have a verizon phone but thats just an example. you can stop Google keyboard and Google play music and apps like that. Dont stop anything that has a pictures of a green android next to it. when your done stopping all of those apps, stop the settings app. Usually located at the top of the list. Your settings app will close automatically. Repeat this step as often as necessary every time your phone slows down. Thats what cheap android phones do unfortunately. But if you get a Galaxy S 4 or a Nexus 4 or HTC ONE or something else of that caliber, Then you will have no suck problems and will have an incredibly small and very fast supercomputer in you pocket
How do I install Android apps directly to an SD card without rooting the device?
Generally the reason for someone to move an app to SD card is because the internal memory is full. So to start off with. i would advice you to NOT move apps to SD as it reduces performance drastically. The read and write speed of a SD card compared to the internal memory of a phone is much much lesser.That being said, answering your question it’s both a yes and a no. depending on the version of android you are using and the OS (stock, touchwiz etc) you get an option in the settings under manage applications, to ‘Move App to SD’. Though this option seems like the answer to your question, but it does not actually move the app instead it moves the data used by the app. suppose the app your using is small but it store a lot of data on the phone, then the option would make some difference. but if the app is big like some big game which barely stores anything on the phone this option would do u no good.Now coming to root, with root u get two options to choose from, first being moving an application completely to SD card and second is to extend your internal memory by partitioning your SD card. I have always used to latter as it seemed more easy for me. I never had to manually move app by app. instead I mounted an extra 1Gb for system. With root there are many apps out there to move to SD, Gemini App Manager - Android Apps on Google Play was an app i had tried long back which had this option. To partition and mount your SD card, if on CM you can use S2E (simple2ext) - Android Apps on Google Play else there is Link2SD - Android Apps on Google Play for all other OS above android 2.0.You should really try to root your phone if you are planning to use the phone for long, there are a lot of great tutorials for rooting. Avoid using automated rooting apps they have chances of bricking your phone. follow phone specific tutorials once and you will see how simple it is.

If you're running out of internal storage,there are two things you can do…First download the apps to internal storage and then move them to sd cardSet your default install location to Sd card(Totally possible)Follow these steps(works only on rooted phones)Go to playstore and install "Terminal Emulator" appOpen it and type "su" without inverted quotes and hit enter.Your phone asks you to grant root permission.Click "Grant" or "Accept"Type "pm set-install-location 2" and hit enter.You are doneTo check if it worked,type "pm get-install-location".If it returns "2[External]" you did it rightIf you decided to change it again to internal storage,Again type "pm set-install-location 1" This will reset the default location back to internal storage.NOTE:This method works only on rooted phones.If your phone is not rooted,there is an extremely complex way to do this which requires a PC and some coding(you know,geek stuff) you can check this link for it as it too big to explain here http://m.instructables.com/id/Ho...Let me know if this worked!
