Hi there,
Is there a way to make the add the internal SD card to the main memmory? So that there would not be an internal SD card anymore?
I do not mean swapping the moutpoints around so my External_SD becomes my primary and my internal my second....
I want to get rid of the internal one alltogether (adding it to main memory).
I figure that I'll have to format the storage in a certain way... would that do it?
Can someone tell me step by step what to do?
I do have CW-mod installed.
I did search the forum, but couldnt find anything conclusive. Just hints that it should be possible...
If there already is a thread where all this is explained, please point me to it, because I couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Pfeffa-rah
I don't think this is possible , never heard of someone who did it
I have no idea how to do that. My question is... why would you want to do that?
Having an internal_sd partition adds the benefit of having big app data (such as those in Gameloft games) sit in a very fast partition and still be called "sddata".
Also, it's mountable via PC so everything in there can still be backed up. So it's best of both worlds really.
This was discussed some time ago in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013575
There were ideas on how to remount the cards at boot. I myself come to the conclusion that since more phones start to behave in this way, app developers will have to start dealing with it. It just sucks they are mostly slow on the uptake. My main problem was the Spotify cache location being hard coded so I resorted to hack the Spotify apk.
PS. salisbury_steak: What is it with people like you that every time someone has a question on how to do something, your immediate response is "But why would you want to do that?!".

That was actually an honest question.
I wanted to understand why he wanted to do it. (i.e. What would be the advantages of it.) There was no supposed sarcasm in there.
how about the ability to install 5x more applications?
Having that stupid 5gb partition as sd card and the real sd card as a sub folder is retarded...
My 32GB class 10 cars is a lot faster than the internal one.
The internal 5gb memory is MUCH TOO SMALL!!! Most apps don't allow you to store data on the external card. If you like me and many others install some games that download aditional data + a nav app that downloads maps for europe + some streaming music app like wimp that can cache music for offline play then you are ****ed with LG's setup.
The setup CM7 uses solves the main problem but effectively wastes the 5gb by mounting it at emmc where like 0,0001% of apps are able to access it.
So adding those otherwise wasted 5gb to the main memory would be great. But i have not seen any solution to that yet :-(
Thank you Gensplejs for explaining that to them. I had no idea how to reply to that since it seemed so obvious to me.
This thread was ment to be a question about how to do it and not to discuss the usefullness of it. That is where I lost the way in other threads...
So, thanks for your replys all (realy).
But now, back On-Topic:
How would I do it?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Please don't blame me if you tried it and you screwed up your phone.. It's your choice...
Well, I don't know if this would work, but this is how I would do it (accepting the fact that I'd loose almost 2GB of /data's free space):
1. Format your internal sd card to the same file system as your /data partition is (ext3 or ext4)
2. Copy every file from /data 1:1 to your sdcard (cp -R /data/* /sdcard)
3. I don't know when and where the partitions are mounted (maybe init.rc??)...anyways change the target there and let /data point to the internal sd card partition (so it is ensured that it is mounted automatically to the new location)
4. Reboot and keep your fingers crossed
I think i figured how to do it in theory. First we need some free space at our microsd to cp /data. Then we should repartition with fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 and p9 into one partition and change vold.fstab to mount only externalsd at /sdcard as we do when we swap partitions. In theory it should work but i cant test it right now or make a script since ve gone vacations and i dont have a pc to restore in case of error
I agree.. certain apps wont store to sdcard.. its better to use the whole 8gb as phone storage, and use external sdcard as default sdcard.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
What ive found till now is that sd swapping is easy. You can do it by tweaking only vold.fstab. But repatriationing is a pain in the ass. Looks like lg has "faulty" partitions or something and to do it you must mesh up with with almost half partitions.
I had to rebuilt boot lgdrm recovery data and sdcard to make em half work. So it probably isnt worth the trouble. Also I think init.rc is built on the boot. So just remounting internal sd to /data wont work either.
sectors is not space
it says 7996, so thats 8GB
i saw it in hurry. the brain sometimes belives whats he want to belive
sorry
New to XDA
Hello everybody,
I'm new to android and i'm trying to find out how to solve the problem posted in this thread.
I see you've got the awnser but i don't know how to do this.
I've been searching google and XDA for ever but i just can't find the awnser.
Could you make a step by step howto or point out to a post how to do this.
I mean converting your external sd to ext4 and change the mounting points.
I'm a complete nood, i didn't get adb to work on my pc, ext4 recovery is not for the p990 2x.
I've read something abbout changing fstap for swapping te mounting points for sdcard and emmc, witch is also ok for me, but formating to ext4... wel i frankly don't know how to do this.
I'm quite stuk on this.
The only partitioning experience i've got is Gparted in Ubuntu or repartitioning in Windows 7.
Thans in andvance!
Greetz,

you can expand data partition , but there is a limitation of 1.75gb
Thanks davjan
Thanks davjan,
As far i can see it's indeed not worth it.
I wil have to go on and try to find out how to change the filesystem to ext4 and swap the internal and external sd.
That way i get more usable space instead of a big datastorage witch cannot contain program data.
But thanks for the quick reply.

what rom are you using? is your phone rooted?
swapping internal with internal sd is very easy
and most of the roms here on xda are ext4 , if you instal one of them they autoconvert to ext4

I you read the link provided you'll see that it makes what you want: grow internal filesystem = lower SDcard usable space. The only thing is that it doesn't seem possible is to use the whole space: system limitation. 75Markus tried high /system and /data values and phone didn't work.
See in his Mediafire Folder, 'Nvflash + guide for changing Partitions:
http://www.mediafire.com/75markus
Ext4 is now common with custom ROMs (in fact all of them).
You should search in sd-ext partition system, which was designed to artificially expand filesystem on older phones using an 'ext' partition. I didn't heard anybody using this on O2X.
If you use CyanogenMod based ROMs, your external card will be mounted ad /sdcard by default.
Switching internal and external SD
Thanks guy's,
I'll check it out.
I've been using cyanogenmod 7.1 stable with vorkkernel 20110208.
But that gave me batterydrains while using maps and nextvid ate the same time (while i'm driving).
Now i'm trying MIUI 1.11.11 with latest swift extreme.
But MIUI is very buggy so i'm thinking of going back to CM.
The only thing is that my phone won't boot with the latest vorkkernel.
Just got my Nook Color tonight. I booted it from a CWM microSD card, installed CM 7.1 stable, gapps, and ran ROM Manager to install CWM to internal memory.
When I go to Menu, Settings, Storage, under the 'Internal Storage' heading, it says "Total space" of 5.09 GB and "Available space" of 4.68 GB. (One app installed so far)
Looking farther down the screen, it shows /mnt/eemc to have 1.00 GB of space.
Is there a way to combine them so that I have 5.68 GB of usable internal space to install apps to? Also, are those two the full available capacity of the eMMC storage? If not, can it be enlarged to maximum?
Also, further down the screen, it shows /mnt/usbdisk, with no space. Should it be left intact, or can it be safely removed to limit my confusion?
Thanks!
+1 to your question.
I'm gonna use my NC only as a tablet not any book reading so I don't think that 1GB is required.
Still let's wait for a dev. to give expert advice about this and possibly a how-to...
I would leave /mnt/usbdisk alone as it will be useful if you decide to use flash drives through nook tweeks in the usb section. As for the emmc data area, you can store data there with no problem if you are not going to use the nook as an e-reader.
By downloading the nook tweeks app, you will have access to the micro usb port (through an adapter) to transfer data between the nook and a flash drive or (using a powered hub) a card reader. You can also transfer data between the nook and a camera to directly save photos to the nook or view them. Usb host mode opens the nook up to another level and makes it a very functional tablet.
I use my nook with a digital camera on photo shoots so that I can preview my shots on a larger screen than that of the camera. You can check out my threads here concerning host mode. PM me if I can be of any assistance.

Hey there, I know long time but iI have some info to share since I'm having the same configuration as yours.
The 'Internal Storage' you're seeing isn't exactly the emmc. Its just that cm7 doesn't know its put on an SD. And it thinks the second or third partition of the SD (i.e. cm7 system partition) is internal.
Also that /mnt/eemc is the actual internal memory and thus these 2 can't be linked. However, the nook has another 5gb emmc internal partition callednmedia which you can possibly combine with emmc.

there are many threads about the NC partition layout and changing it. do a search. the 5g partition basically won't be used by your cm7 NC. the apps will go on the 1g. I repartitioned mine for 4g instead of 1g and 2g for /emmc. then you can set cm7 to swap the /emmc and /sdcard and then use the NC without an SD installed.

I was thinking something else.....
I wanted to merge internal data and media so as to get combined partition. I'm running CM7 off the SD card so I don't need to switch them. I was just thinking of merging them.

Yes, I understand that's what you want to do. However, those partitions are not contiguous space. Search on Nook Color partitions and you will quickly see why.
Specifically, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
which links to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13971291&postcount=110
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 is the "data" partition
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 is the "cache" partition
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is the "/mnt/emmc" partition
You are wanting to combine "data" and "/mnt/emmc". Problem is the "cache" partition is stuck in between them.
The other problem is your NC uses these two partitions for different things.
I think the suggestion I made before, which is to repartition for 2GB+4GB as in the first link, then do Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Application -> Use internal storage to get them to swap, is the best, simplest solution with the lowest risk. This uses the 2G partition for whatever normally is used for /sdcard by most apps (downloads, misc. files, temp storage, etc.) and 4G partition for your apps, and leaves your whole SD card for use solely for your side-loaded media content. This schema will not interfere with further CM updates or unnecessarily change the default partition scheme for which most of the devs are writing code.
If you want to become a Linux & Android master of partitioning and storage management, then you can probably implement a more custom scheme. In my last job I was a software engineer working on a Linux-based network-attached storage appliance and I wrote most of the system code dealing with disk and partition management, so you could say I know a lot about it, but still I chose the easy path for my NC.

Thanks for the info. But I'm just a highschool sophomore who loves technology. Can't do this unless someone has ever tried (and succeeded) before.
I'll probably use your method when I install CM7 (or CM9) onto emmc.

I have over 11 gigs free, but with 3.2 you can't install anything on the internal SD, or external SD for that matter. I bought 32gig SD cards to store files, I want all the internal storage for Applications and settings.
How can I make the internal storage be one large data partition or at least increase the data partition size, while decreasing the internal SD size.
And for how I ran out, the free apps from Google and Amazon. I have about 200 from the Amazon Free App A Day promotion alone.

My suggestion to you is to flash DJ Steve's HoneyStreak using the NVFlash method. Inside the folder he allows for up to a 6GB app partition if you wanna take it that far... as far as I know of that's the only way to repartition your internal SD.
Create backups of all those apps, create backup of everything on your internal sd because the process is going to wipe everything, and then reinstall and copy back
Any Fixes?
Even I am stuck there. Did anybody find any solution to this.
Can I use the CWM to create a new data partition? I am having rooted Stock 3.2.

Did you not read my post, THAT is the easiest solution... I can't think of any way to install 6 gigs of apps, but some people just don't know when to quit installing without realizing what it does to the OS... and even that can be modified if you know how to configure the specific sectors of the internal SD, but I have no experience with that

I'm with you man but I get so frustrated by the noobs that don't realize the reason they were given the option to install to SD in the first place... back in those days when it was necessary and apps were actually coded to run well off an external SD it was ok, but they don't understand that most apps these days prohibit it for many reasons, they just demand too much to run off the external SD and they don't seem to wanna use their brains and wrap their heads around the idea that there's no sense in having hundreds of apps installed... hopefully within the next year those types will either move to the iPhones they should be using because they have no business using a flexible android device or they will frustrated and get talked into buy a brokenglass (windows) phone

Honeystreak partition method
I wanted to test a theory on this myself. So I will start with saying I am running 3.2 official with 514(rooted). I use 514 to be able to use my dock. Love me or hate me.
1) I did a nandroid backup on my sd card. I used my app backup tool to backup my apps just in case.
2) I flashed Honeystreak R2 using NVFLASH.
3) I then placed Honeystreak R8 on my sd card with the text file as instructed. and then installed the zip using CWM.
4) I then fastbooted the latest (and greatest) CWM 5.0.2.8
5) Then booted CWM 5.0.2.8 and flashed my Nandroid Backup.
6) CHA-CHING!!!!
I was able to keep the 4 GB partition that was created using the Honeystreak R2 NVFLASH.
This is tested and it works so you can get up to 6GB using this method.
Hey guys and gals,
Recently flashed AlRoger's CM10.1 ROM, I love it. Great ROM, awesome.
However I have a problem and that is the space I have for apps. In the "Storage" section of settings; I have 3 areas. Internal Storage (around 250mb) Internal storage (around 13/14gb) and external storage around (14gb).
Problem is, the smaller internal space is what is used for apps; and as you can imagine, after installing just a few apps it was full. At the moment I have used the built in android Move to SD feature which moves some of the apps data to the other internal partition. But I want more REAL space.
I have tried using INT2EXT+ but when partitioning with MiniTool, a "Blank SD" notification comes up and I can't do nothing and am forced to reformat it. When I partition with TWRP it fails to mount the new SD-Ext it makes. So INT2EXT+ isn't working...
Is there any other way I can extend my internal storage (/data???) partition using preferably the larger internal storage?? If necessary I can use the external but of course, I would prefer to use the internal simply for ease of taking the External SD card out if I ever need to.
Sorry if this has been covered but I can't find nothing.
Thanks in advance,
Roo.
What ROM you previous have?
Something is not right with your partitions.
You should have around 1.87 for the first internal storage (system, cache, data)
And around 12.81 for internal SD
You must have come from an older cm10 in the period when there was an "old MTD" partition, pre April-2012, then without restocking you installed alroger's .
Restock to GB, then install cwm kernel, and reinstall ROM again.

Hi There
I got my Nook HD+ a couple of months ago, and I've started noticing quite a bit of slowdown in Apps, in particular getting a lot of "xxx isn't responding, do you want to close it - Wait/OK messages.
I've installed various tools to monitor CPU/memory etc but not been able to. Running Cleanmaster to clear memory and caches sometimes seems to give some brief respte, but not for long> I also used Malwarebytes AV and found a trojan dialler, and removal of that againseemed to help for a little while, but the problems came back a few hours later.
I therefore decided to give the CM ROM a try and installed 10.1, and which I really like the interface and woul dlike to carrry on using it, it would seem that the problem is even worse on this version of Android. The basic laucher itself isn't too bad, but applications are barely usable, which initially made me wonder if I've got a hardware problem.
I'm using a Kingston 8GB memory card (I did read somewhere that somebody else had problems with speed on a similar SD card, but as far as I'm aware Kingston should be a decent brand)
I've been reading through the forums about the trim issue, and it would appear I have the MAGDA eMMC which is suseptible to the trim bug, here are the details on my version:
$ su
# cd /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device
# cat name
MAG2GA
# cat manfid
0x000015
# cut -b 19,20 cid
6
# cat date
10/2012
There seems to be a fair amount of debate about wwhether it's safe to try the fstrim fix along with 10.2 on this version of the chip. I'm also wondering if pulling the SD card and trying a hard reset might be worth trying.
Would anybody be able to to offer me some guidance on whether this is likely to be the trim issue, and whether I'm safe to try fstrim/Lagfix?
I have tried to read up as much as I can before posting, but there's a lot of information and I'm not entirely sure how much of it is currently in date, so I'm still not entirely certain whether this is what's affecting me, and what the best course of action from here is. Apologies in advance therefore if this has been covered elsewhere.
Thanks very much in advance.
Alex.
It does sound like you are experiencing LAG and are in need of trim. But you have the buggy emmc chip and I would not recommend it. Try booting to your CWM SD and going to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. See if that helps. An ordinary factory reset does not really format /data and will not make it better. That is why you still had LAG after installing CM10.1.

Thanks very much for the reply.
I've booted back into CWM, and the Mounts and Storage menu gives me the option of mounting or formatting several partitions:
/sytem
/cache
/emmc
/data
/sdcard
There doesn't look to be an option for "Format data and datamedia" however (I get the impression this should be a distinct option?).
I tried formatting just /data, after doing so and booting back into CM it started to run through the initial setup. The CWM version I'm using is v6.0.3.2.
A bit of further googling suggests that /data/media is hosted on /sdcard, but if I navigate through the filesystem it looks like my personal data from the stock install is /emmc, but I'm a bit wary of formatting this in case it affects the stock ROM. Coudl this be what I should be formatting instead?

Are you running CM10.1 on SD? I thought you replaced stock with CM10.1 on emmc. That was my basis for saying you need to format 'data and datamedia'. It uses the same /data that stock used, thus carrying over the LAG problem. An SD install puts /data on the SD (unless you used the hybrid SD install which then does use the same /data partition on emmc).
And I am not talking about /data/media. I am talking about 'data and datamedia'. That option actually formats all of /data including /data/media. A format /data with CWM does not "format" anything. It erases all of /data except /data/media, leaving your media files intact. An actual format is necessary to remove LAG.

Leap,
Thanks for this! I did format 'data and datamedia' and this fixed the lag I have been experiencing. I had to register w/CM and it reloaded some apps from Google play and I had to re-install other apps using Apps Back-up and Restore. Not ideal having re-install periodically (monthly?) in order to keep it running smoothly.
This proves to me that these tablets need TRIM. However, I have an HD+ 16GB with MAG2GA Date:11/2012, FwRev 0x06. Do you think it would be safe to try KitKat on SDcard or would that still subject my Nook to bricking?
BTW, Bought this on the Mother's Day deal so, still under warranty
Thank again,

No, sorry, the CM10.1 install is running from the SD card.

And I am not talking about /data/media. I am talking about 'data and datamedia'. That option actually formats all of /data including /data/media. A format /data with CWM does not "format" anything. It erases all of /data except /data/media, leaving your media files intact. An actual format is necessary to remove LAG.

Understood. When I couldn't find the "data and datamedia" option on CWM I did some googling, and "/data/media" returned a lot of hits, it seemed like a plausible alternative.

That is why you did not find that option. You need to use the CWM made for stock from my HD/HD+ CWM thread.
And the lag when running from SD is likely caused by the brand and class of your SD. It needs to be a SanDisk class 4.

Leap,
Thanks for this! I did format 'data and datamedia' and this fixed the lag I have been experiencing. I had to register w/CM and it reloaded some apps from Google play and I had to re-install other apps using Apps Back-up and Restore. Not ideal having re-install periodically (monthly?) in order to keep it running smoothly.
This proves to me that these tablets need TRIM. However, I have an HD+ 16GB with MAG2GA Date:11/2012, FwRev 0x06. Do you think it would be safe to try KitKat on SDcard or would that still subject my Nook to bricking?
BTW, Bought this on the Mother's Day deal so, still under warranty
Thank again,
josim

To get around having to re-register and re-install everything, do a nandroid backup with CWM and after the format 'data and datamedia', do a CWM restore. That will put everything back but your media files. To save them, back them up manually to your SD or PC and manually restore them later. I know this is a pain to do but it is better than bricking your device.
And I don't know anything about kitkat on SD and trim. Even on SD some things are on emmc.

Right, understood. Sorry, when I made the original post I think I don't think I fully understood the purpose of the eMMC chip, obviously if it's running on a separate filesystem can't be the same problem. I've now got a Sandisk card on order, will give that a try next and go from there.
Thanks for your help, appreciated
