HI ! In this tutorial i am going to show ya all How to Increase the Internal Memory on SGA GT-S5830i.
This tutorial is not my work. I have taken other tutorials and made one full. As many people were a bit confused about doing this , here it is the all in one tutorial
What do you need :
- CronMod Script
- CWM
- Brain
- Latest Rafael.Baugis Kernels
CronMod Script by Styrke link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955422
- Now download the "Cronmod Unofficial by Styrke" from the thread ( I strongly recommand it , not the other versions because it doesn't lag and GPS works )
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Now we are going to make a partition to the SD Card so backup all your SD Card before doing this ( It formats it )
ClockWorkMod Recovery link : http://www.mediafire.com/?a4j6zsoyaihhy60
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Link2SD : Link in PlayStore ( Download when it's time to download on the installation steps lol :silly: )
OK , Let's start now :
Partition SD Card :
1) Open CWM Recovery
2) Go to "Advanced"
3) Select "Partition SD Card"
4) Choose your SD-ext size (if you’re using a 2Gb SD card, choose 512Mb. If your SD card is 4Gb or greater, you can choose 1024Mb)
5) Select "0M" Swap.
6) Wait for the procces finish.
7) Reboot.
8) Now download Link2SD from Playstore.
9) Open Link2SD you will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.
10) First , Choose ext2. If it don't work then restart Link2SD and when then don't choose ext2 but ext4. ( Don't worry , it works )
11) It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
12) Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
13) Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink.
14) To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition.

Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal.
15) Now your SD Card is formated .
16) Place the CronMod Script on your SD Card ( Cronmod Unofficial file )
17) Open CWM again
18) Foramt /data /sd-ext /system
19) Mount /system
20) Flash custom rom
21) Remount /system
22) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial " script.
23) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alternative mod : If you have already your custom ROM just do these easy steps :
1) Format /data /sd-ext
2) Mount /system
3) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial" script
4) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW YOU SUCCESFULLY INCREASED YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY
How to delete 2nd partition and revert to normally :
1) Go to CWM
2) Go to Mounts and Storage
3) Choose " format /sdcard "
4) Done

how do I format sd card partition ??
any thing other than mini tool partision wizard ??
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
is this to download?
Data2sd-ext Fixed.zip
As the other one is not there
No no ! No tool needed and what do you mean to format it ? Ah, if you mean the 2nd partion just format/wipe the /sd-ext on the mounts and storage on CWM . But it is unnessesary becouse the 2nd partition is transfered to the the internal memory.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
recommend fresh rom... rom with lot of appk maybe bootloop...no need link2sd... easy way, flash rom, flash kernel(boot.img & module) mount system & flash cronmod unofficial by styrke(latest script).. done... depend of what rom, maybe no need to mount system... kernel also, no need flash if rom include lattest kernel...:silly: adios...
#remember, create partition with cwm its totally format your sdcard... before do this, save data sdcard to pc/laptop... only left behind cwm.zip... when done, move back saving data to sdcard... when all its ready, happy flashing lol...

LOL ! Isn't this what have you said already on the TUT !!! ? And without Link2SD you idiot , you can't choose the system files betwee ext2 olr ext4 or whatever !!! ( sorry fr the word "idiot' LOL )
Please change the font color of the first post.
It's unreadable with the dark theme of the xda app.

Hey I followed your whole procedure,
but I got stocked when I wanted to apply the data2ext-fixed file
During my stock rom, I had partionated my sd-card on windows computer, not with CWM, but after I used ur guide, I partionated it again with CWM, so now it should have the structure given by CWM, right?
But here is the problem. In CWM I don't get the option "Format /data /sd-ext" there are just the following options: format "/data or /sdcard or /system or /cache" but no option "Format /data /sd-ext"
So might it be that CWM didn't apply the extention right?
When I open Link2SD it does all the things it should do, but the internal memory is rising, so maybe it is not putting the files in the right place, someone said instead of putting them to "sd-ext" it is putting them to "sdext2"
Another point: In the tutorial u mentioned after step 14)
"Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal." Is that a point I have to do?
Because right now the 2nd partition is sdext2, but it is still not preventing that the internal memory is rising.
Hope u can help me to solve this problem.

LOL. Of course there is no such option like Format /data /sd-ext. What he mean is format your data and sd-ext one by one. Meaning you should format data 1st, After finished format sd-ext.
And for your second point problem, it is a title. Not a step to follow.

Ok, but in CWM there are only the options "format data" and "format sd-card" so in this case "sd-card" and "sd-ext" is the same?
Because I don't want that the ext3 which i partitioned before will be deleted and the sd-card will only consist of one partition and not "sd-card" by itself and "ext3" part on the sd-card.
If i push "format sd-card" it will not destroy the partitions which i created before?

LOL , data2ext script is only for ext2 first and you should go to mounts and systems and format /sd-ext and data as i said in the instructions . If you can't see any , buy some glasses You haven't seen correctly ! Follow d steps carefully. It's a bit complied so you should keep an eye to the thread and an eye to the phone .. And yes if you format /sdcard your partition will revert back , so you will uninstall it

Thank you for the answers.
So yeah maybe the CWM version I'm using is outdated.
So let me ask this
in this thread there are some files to root and also have CWM.
My phone is rooted, so which file (i think they should be most up-to-date CWM-files, right?) should I download and use for CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156
So another question, so you said the partition should be ext2 not ext3, otherwise the data2ext script doesn't work, right?
I think I can't see the "format sd-ext" option, because my CWM is outdated, which version should I install? Where is the link for the most current- or usable version? Should I get the ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip from the thread mentioned above?

Go to cwm recovery -> mounts & storage -> format sd-ext (It will format your second partition in ext3 format)
Reboot the phone and open link2sd and select ext3 as your second partition. If it still gives error go to more options in link2sd and recreate mount script and select ext4 and reboot phone
For full space problem, uninstall some unnecessary apps from /system and /data or move apps to sd card using Link2Sd

CWM Recovery v5.0.2.6 should have this option. I'm looking at it right now. Right below format /sdcard & Right Above mount USB Storage option is the option format /sd-ext
Anyway if you still can't find it in cwm, use minitool partition in windows to format the sd-ext partition in ext3 format. Link2sd has some issues in Jellyblast ROM in my experience. But it was solved for me by the method i explained to you in my last post. Also verify if you have got the latest version of link2sd.
Most importantly, please note that link2sd will only detect ext2 format if you are on stock kernel. It will detect ext3 & ext4 formats only if you are on Rafael's kernel

thank you and yes i'm using rafael's kernel i'll try it your way i was using an older version of cwm i guess
anyway i formatted the partition to ext 3 using mini tool should work now i think
lol now it just says mlount script cannot be created invalid argument ext 3 may not be created on your device...try fat 32.

problem is with jelly blast rom..uninstall Link2sd with rom..and install it from play sore..will work fine..use Ext2 or Ext 3..:good:
Hi to all again! I've done another little mod to make our low-end device with too low internal memory (10 apps and is full!) a little bit larger.
This script is a modded d2ext wrote originally by cronmod. This init.d script mounts the /sd-ext partition as /data moving the entire partition in the sd-ext (previously created by the recovery!!).
I have to advise you that the partition MUST be more than 1GB (it moves the entire partition, so if you have it very small it's useless!!).
If you want to install/backup/restore it, you must have this recovery made by me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283641
That's because the updater-script mounts the /sd-ext and moves everything from /data leaving it totally empty.
So if you don't want to make a factory reset you have to use my recovery, sorry.
Istructions:
1) Flash the new recovery from the link above
2) Download the attachment and put it into your phone's sdcard
3) Boot into recovery
4) Wipe cache/dalvik-cache
5) Install the zip
6) Reboot into system
EDIT: The .zip provided is in test because I've already put the script in the CM zip before installing it on my phone. Tell me if it works or not and I'll make modifications.
Here's the screenshot of my phone with a "/data" partition of 2GB!!:victory:
when i partitioned my sd card in 2 GB, the 2 GB partition just disappeared, only the 12 GB was left...what to do?
and also tell me how to un-partition it.
Whoa awesome works thanks
Sorry but I made an error in the updater-script. It didn't set the right permission . Now it's correct here: www.4shared.com/zip/SkBxf9FB/Data2ext_signed.html

Well, let's start!
You should be root and you should have CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed flashed
Code:
1. You'll need a coustom rom or a stock with a custom kernel (to get init.d support folder)
2. Your sdcard should be partitioned, use partition magictools to do it.
3. When you'll get It ready, download int2script in the link I posted avobe
4. Boot into recovery
5. Mount and system >>> mount /system
5. Mount and system >>> mount /data
6. Mount and system >>> mount /sd-ext
7. Mount and system >>> format sd-ext
8. Go back and install the zip
9. Reboot
10. Done!
BE CAREFUL FORMATING THE SD-EXT AND NOT YOUR SD CARD!!!

According to MiniTool Partition Wizard, yes, I have 1 FAT32 (about 30GB) and another Ext3 partition. However, the device doesn't read it, and I cannot partition through either TWRP or CWM. I'm testing Cronmod on CM10.1 now, will update.

TWRP or CWM should not be used to create a new ext partition if your sdcard already have another ext partition. Meaning you should have only one ext partition in your sdcard. So delete the ext3 partition and the fat32 partition, then create a single new fat32 partition on the 32BG sdcard. Now use the recovery mod to create the ext partition. That should work. Between Link2SD and CronMod, I would always go for CronMod. Then again its my opinion. Any way if you have any problem, just post here and I'll be glad to help

Hang on a minute, let me check my disk space, it still reads '16MB free, 162MB used'. is that normal? The script has already been put into the- Wait a minute, the space just increased to 24MB free, 154MB used.
Oh my gosh. Link2SD is saying that there is no second partition.
Apparently the other init.d files are rwxr-xr-x, root, shell, but 40int2ext is rwxr-xr-x, root, root. Is that normal too?
P.S. Sorry, my Shift key is malfunctioning
EDIT: I'm manually flashing Cronmod again, instead of copying directly, as TWRP and CWM 6 didn't allow. CWM 5 works like a charm.
EDIT 2: Still 15MB free *Cries*

You should know that CronMod and Link2SD doesn't work together. Since CronMod is present, Link2sd can't find the ext partition. What is the size of your ext partition. What rom are you using now? For every 512MB sd-ext partition you need a 100MB space on /data. So please limit your sd-ext patition to 1GB max.

I'm using Maclaw's CM10.1. I don't use CronMod and Link2SD together, when i figured out that CronMod didn't work I tried to use Link2SD. As for the /data, is it 100MB free?

For our Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, we have an internal memory of 150MB. So your ext partition size should not be more than 1GB for CronMod to work. BTW what is the size of your ext partition?

If I'm not wrong... I chose 1024MB (1GB) at the selection screen.

As a last resort, try to reflash this rom. Make sure to backup all the data. Take the rom file, extract it, put 40int2ext file inside /system/etc/init.d/ and then compress it back. Now go to CWM, do "Wipe Data/ Factory reset", "Wipe cache partitions", Mount & Storage> "Format /system" and "Format /sd-ext", Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats". Now reflash the custom rom. This should pretty much solve it. Restore all the necessary data.

I've tried that already, and the device went into a bootloop. However, I used GParted to partition 777MB sd-ext, and the rest FAT32, and it boot up after flashing CM10.1 > GApps > CronMod INT2EXT4
The only problem was that the memory remained the same, and Partition info showed /sd-ext (EXT 0.00B/0.00B)
EDIT: For some reason sd-ext doesn't mount, but formats perfectly.

Have you tried flashing the CronMod from CWM? Can you give it a try? Also try to use INT2EXT+ as it is much more stable than others. Hope I Helped

When I flash it from CWM sometimes it somehow finishes without incident, but the file doesn't get copied.

Hello friends,
i tried two roms for galaxy Ace, one is The Ultimatum V4 which is now i am running , and second one is Cynogenmod 10.1.6 which is awesome but very slow. The thing i noticed is , i have a partition in my sd card with ext2 format so when i use The Ultimatum V4 the ext2 is automatically detecting as internal storage like in ace we have only 200mb around as internal but it is showing the ext2 space included with that, So how can i do the same with Cynogenmod 10.1.6 so that ext2 partition can be used as internal storage, so that i can use freely the rom without any strucks.
Please say me how to use EXT2 partition of sdcard as internal memory automatically in Cynogenmod 10.1.6 .
Thanks.

Its simple actually. Just flash CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) from CWM. Make sure to have an ext partition of maximum size 1GB (anymore and the system will lag). Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Hope I Helped
Thanks buddy, i m trying on i just kep 600mb as ext2, so it will solve my problem of lagging CM 10.1.6, and ext2 is best or any other format should i do..

Usually when you create a ext partition from CWM, its in ext3 format. But CronMod works well on ext2/3/4. Its upto you

Can you check if there is a file named 40int2ext in your /system/etc/init.d? Also was your ext partition in ext2 type?
There are only 00banner and 90userinit file in /system/etc/init.d location , the file 40int2ext is not ther. When i try to copy that file readonly message displaying.

It means that flashing was not successful. There are 2 ways to do it,
1. Go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system and then flash CronMod script. Finally format /sd-ext from Mounts & Storage and reboot. If you still can't find 40int2ext in /system/etc/init.d, then use the next method.
2. Using a root file manager change the permission of /system from R to R/W. Now simple copy the 40int2ext file to /system/etc/init.d/ and change the permission to rwx-rx-x. Done! Now reboot and it should work.
Hope it works

For some strange reason, I can't do this by just flashing my zip file, I had to manually copy and paste file into my system folder. Well this is the way if flashing didn't work out for you either

Oh, I had to do that? So i have to mount /sd-ext and /data, then only i format /sd-ext?

Yes, formatting /sd-ext is the last step. You should mount /system too as 40int2ext is placed inside /system/etc/init.d/.
