I have a small question. I got this phone, wherever I read on a 8GB internal memory, and mine is only 5.37GB. Could someone help me with this problem, because it looks like it is hiding somewhere 2.63GB

Hi, the system need place too on the intern memory. It's like a hdd but other lie.

If you check on gsm arena you will see why http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sp-5364.php
The Os in this case Androis 4.1.2 ocupies about 20% of the whole storage.Later you could flash a custom rom lighter than the original that will occupy less space.

Well, i'm using Django Manouche ICS Rom x1.4 (before, i was using Flex Icer 4.2) and my problem is how i can made a swap between Internal SD with the External SD, because with the 6 GB of the Internal SD i can´t install a lot of games.
Sorry for my English, i speak Spanish!!
Thanks!!!
i have the same problem with yours...

Directory bind
For now, there is no way to make that swap. But there are other solutions, like directory bind app. It can be found and downloaded here, from xda, just search a bit. With this app, U can map directories on external sd, to internal sd. I'm using it with DJMX 1.4 and it works fantastic, stable. Using the m version of directory bind.

Thanks for answer!!! i knew before of "directory bind" and i was testing in ICS and the app can't working good.
I will test the M version of Directory Bind if working good, Muchas Gracias!!!!
I'm testing "Directory Bind version M" in the ROM Django MAnouche X1.4 and was same that other version was using, not working good. Some idea?
I'm think seriously to come back to Cyanogenmod 2.3 for now... Thanks anyway

Just hijacking an old thread rather than adding a new one...
Has anyone tried hacking the environment variables in the framework so that the EXTERNAL_STORAGE variables point to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd instead of /mnt/sdcard?
It's not a full swap of internal/external SD, but it should mean that games and apps install by default to the external card without having to mess about with mounts.
If anyone has tried this and failed or just thinks it is a really dumb idea, let me know. Otherwise I'll probably just experiment with it myself and break my phone a few times...

Tried it out and it looks like it might work OK. Big thanks to Kyrie1965 over on this Xperia Z thread, I'm basically just porting his method over onto the O2X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239289

I just flashed my HTC one international model with SD v5.0 but since doing so I've noticed that my other folder is a little over 18GB in size. I'm not sure what is taking up that much space on my phone or am I having a retard moment?

Was your original ROM a 4.1.x based? If so, the file structure has changed between 4.1.x and 4.2.x+.

I would like to ask somebody if there is a solution to switch sd cards in android 4.4 kitkat. Any help is appreciated.
What do you mean by switch cards, are you saying that physically changing them?
He means using an external microsd card as the phones internal SD memory.
I've been thinking of doing this myself because you can buy micro SD cards that perform much better than the i9000's internal SD memory..

You are right. Now I am in Mackay 4.3.0 which is android 4.3 where kernel provides changing them. I want to know if there is something similar possible in 4.4
I'd like to know too. If it's possible I'll buy a fast microsd card and do it myself.. I've seen people doubling their read and write speeds, possibly more, by doing this. But I'm not sure if it's doable on 4.4

Depending on the build, it could be achieved by init d or build.prop when fstab aries switch does not work. look here for different methods. you need to test it out yourself.

Have you ever tested/used the external sd card instead the internal because of performance???

What do you mean? I am using external instead of internal but on Android 4.3 and in this thread I am asking if somebody knows if is in some way already working on android 4.4. Our it can be only by compiling kernel for that?
Today I bought a new micro sd toshiba exceria class 10 (95 read/30 write) and I want to be able to load some apps from the external sd but I have the CM 11 version of pawitp.
I've tryed some ways to do that but seems that doesn't work on this ROM... any suggetion?

The main reason for switching is that,
1) you can have a larger storage
2) If anything goes wrong , you can easily replace card to solve problem
3) performance will depend on user and usage, as SD cards performance is based on video recording and playback capability ( read this to understand it )

I only wanted to know if it makes sense because from performance-view to use external instead of the internal memory ...

Dodging The Question At Hand
I think the OP's question was quite direct and to the point. Lets repeat it:
"How do you swap internal storage with external storage in Android 4.4 (KitKat)"
In Android versions 4.1/4.2 you could edit vold.fstab and accomplish this goal.
In Android version 4.3 things changed and you had to edit build.prop to accomplish the same goal.
Now... in Android 4.4 neither of the two methods work. If you find a solution to said problem by all means post it. Otherwise you're filling the post with useless BS that people have to sift through just to get to point.
So save your maybe this and maybe that. Either post a solution that works or keep your mouth shut. Especially if you don't even understand the question/topic. Guessing does't help.

You are absolutely right... So you are saying that for now in 4.4 it is let say impossible?

I spent several hours messing with the build.prop and sifting through the source code to try and come up with something, but had no luck. I do know however it's somehow linked to SELinux being set to Enforcing.
Nothing's impossible.
And is it possible with the stock rom 2.3.6 ?

Thank you for the info.
I'll try the vold.fstab.
Well actually my dear Galaxy S is now not recognizing any SD, so i need to fix this first :S
Special Kernel
Actually there has been a separate kernel made for CyanAOSP 1.4.1 which combines NeatKernel. So it's not a simple file edit, but I'll take it

Xiaomi Mi3W 64GB available storage
Hi guys,
I have a 64GB Mi3W, and i used the extended partition script...
Not sure if i have more space available right now...
From settings it gives me 55.36 GB available for the user... just to compare, how much u guys have (How much available storage it gives you from Settigs > Storage)....
thanks in advance ... have a nice one
Hi, I'd like to know what title says: Kernel version (in about phone), if this device supports camera2 API by default and whether it is armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a. Thanks in advance
Kernel: 4.4.21
Camera2: Yes. This phone has a Hexagon 642 DSP and a Sectra 160 ISP. Link.
ARM: armv8 (64-bit CPU)
Check on Geekbench or CPU-Z, this phone actually uses 64-bit Android.
You can use the google camera port

I don't remember the exact size, but it's right around half of the 32GB. I think it was right around 15-16 GB usable?
The system takes up 13.1 GB, and "OTHER" is another 2.7 GB.

? I hope I can get the 64gb version, 16 GB is too little. In my 32GB Moto Z play I can use 24GB.

Yeah I wasn't super impressed with almost exactly half of the storage being used for the system. OTOH, you do get a microSD card slot, and considering that a 128GB U3 microSD card is like $45, I'm not that worried.
