Hello!
Yesterday I found a fact, that my Note doesn't want to use my internal sdcard for applications storage ("Android" folder) anymore. The problem is that my external sdcard formatted for use with NTFS, so i can't update any app which automatically installs part of themselves to sdcard. without unmounting external sdcard before.
So, how can I get back my internal sdcard for using as default storage for applications installation, if they need it? THX!
Okay, i tried to wipe data and reflash LRK 4.0.4 ROM with mobile ODIN, I also tried to format internal sdcard and it doesn't helped too. I still can't move apps to internal sdcard as before due of insufficient space, despite i have about 4 gigs free on it.

Is there any way to repartition the size of rom?
i want to combine all internal sd card space to the rom and make the external sd card as for the only one of sd card.
Can i edit the pit file to do that? and how?
thanks for your help

You want to combine the internal storage and the usb storage into one storage space and the internal and external sd storage become just sd storage?

I would like to do this too, I know it is possible because my Motorola Xoom does this. I was surprised that the ICS update didn't reformat the internal storage to work this way.
The internal "/data" partition stores both application and "user" data and it is done by having a subfolder of the data partition mounted as the "internal sdcard" (/mnt/sdcard) by a special filesystem that strips all user permissions from the files.
That way as far as the OS is concerned all the data is on one unified partition so I could install 20G worth of apps if I liked, yet all the applications that download data or expect music to be on the sdcard have everything in the right place.
The extra sd card shows up as /mnt/external1

I have tried to do this by editing the "vold.fstab" file in the etc folder. However I have not been successful. I can only switch between the internal and external sdcard.
Each time I failed I have to recopy the original vold.fstab file before the Note working again if I am lucky. Most of the time I have to reflash the rom again. You can get some information from the following thread:

Hello guys
I have flashed my Xperia T (rooted and unlocked boot) with FXP204 but now I can't move apps to SD (internal or external) which I usually moved them with the stock rom.
I have tried:
Menu>settings>manage applications, but "Move to SD" option doesn't appear in this menu.
Android Assistant doesn't show any movable apps.
link2SD i get an error about insufficient memory but internal memory is free 10GB and external SD i got another 10GB free also it say "mmcblk1p2 not found".
app2SD says something like "internal memory is not real or it is emulated".
From recovery mode I formated sdcard and no change at all.
Also I tried some changes on /system/etc/vold.fstab and restart it but it was unsuccessfully
I would like to move some apps to SD.
Please help.
thanks
Remove your external sdcard and on PC try partitioning your external sdcard with ext2(for link2sd) and the rest fat32.

So, I've ran into an issue with my i9000 which I can't fix on my own..
Currently I'm using Cyanogenmod 10.0 and the partitioning is as usual:
-1.46gb Internal Storage
-5.78gb "USB storage"
Now, I've reinstalled CM10 because of some recent force closes, (wiped data, wiped cache and dalvik cache), and installed a bunch of apps, most of which are games for my son, but now the phone says, it's frequently running out of space, which is kind of obvious, because both partitions are almost full.
The problem is thou, I cannon move any app to the external sd card, so I could free up some space on the internal memory..
I can move them from "phone" memory to "sd card" (which is also internal memory, just a different partition), but because of the stupid partitioning, I can't use my external sd card for apps.
But the thing is, before I moved on to CM10, I've used Darky's Rom, and apps could be installed on the external card just fine...
So, my question now is:
Is it possible to "merge" the internal storage and usb storage into one partition (so that basically I'd have 7,24gb of internal storage), and only have one sd card (not one "fictional" and one external)?
Another thing, not so important thou.. Where can you set the default storage for pictures being taken with the camera?
Hey,
Jelly Bean doesn't let you move apps into SD storage. That being said there should be some apps that allow you to do that.
Merging the internal and external storage I'm not quite sure of.
And in the camera, go into camera settings, it should be there.

-SOLVED BY USING ODIN, AND FLASHING A STOCK ROM-
Samsung GT-S5830
So i installed some custom GB rom a long time ago on my friends phone.
Now he gave it back to me because nothing was working anymore.
The problem is when i try to open the file manager in the phone it says there is no internal sdcard, furthermore in the settings at partition settings it shows me:
/system 183mb/ 206mb
/data 65mb/178 mb
/cache 4mb/ 25mb
/sdcard (FAT) 0.00B / 0.00B
/ext-sdcard (EXT) unavailable (not 1 in the phone)
As you can see, the phone acts like it has no internal storage at all wich make it impossible to put anything on the phone.
I have tried using ODIN to flash a factory default rom, but my computer does not recoqnize the device when i put it in download mode. so that does not work.
I however installed the lastest TWRP, to try making my own partitions in there but that also did not work.
after that i downloaded cm11, put it on a external sd card and flashed the rom.
this all worked fine, but still NO INTERNAL SDCARD.
I am guessing that my friend has been screwing with some files or whatever.
Anyone got any tips?

Why your sdcard have FAT format instead of FAT32?
Try to backup it using a PC and then format it in FAT32, but forget ext partitions for the moment

Sir, it is impossible to format an INTERNAL sd card just simply by connecting it to a pc. You are talking about external sd cards here. (that's just part of the memory the phone internal has, there is no physical sd card here).
Anyway, i fixed the problem by flashing stock rom in odin wich has reformarted, and partitioned, it correctly.

Mmm... ok, well I'm glad you've solved your problem
hi all!!
i have xperia sp 8 gb!! installing few app takes lot of space .. with the new feature in marshmallow (installed cm13)
where we can use sd card as internal memory and move app + whole data. however if we use that function the data is encrypted and we cant flash anything using twrp or even cant install the updates.
so i wanted to create a partition where 25-50% can be used as internal and rest as portable!!
i have tried to create partition using TWRP .. result failed.. nothing really happened ,, tried both ext3/ext4 and after reboot the sd card detected has to be used either as portable or internal
then i tries app2sd and link2sd both are again not able to create partition.
app2sd has option to create adoptable storage which it actually created and i could see 25% as internal and 75% as external however when i tried to move app it was just like move to sd card.. where app was moved to adoptable storage and data still remains in internal memory!!
anyone can please help... in short i want to use my sd card both as internal and external storage!!
internal : to move big apps with data
external : so that i can flash apps/ install updates!!
thanks in advance
