dose any one know if thire is any way to tell the tytn11 to use the micro sd to help it run quicker.a bit like adding system memory to a new computer. or dose it do it any way ?. i have had look on the tytn11 forums and cant see any thing but i might have missed it. it would be gd to tell it to use a gig or two if you dont need the space on your micro sd card.
I was wondering the other day that WHAT IF WE CAN USE THE EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD (Micro SD) as an internal RAM memory????
is there anyway we can do that based on any regular Computer, we can use the outter flash memory card as RAM!
could that be possible on the PPC such as the Kaiser?
Why?

What's the point? You are aware that Flash memory as found on a microSD card is far slower than RAM? This would make things run like chilled honey.
Not to mention that the Kaiser has more than enough RAM to start with, so there's really no point.
And yes, I don't even use swap on my desktop PC as I hate the slowdowns. Would be FAR worse on a flash card. Swap means lots of small read/write accesses to the card, which is exactly what they're the worst at.
I am relatively new to Android and can't figure out how to install apps to my external sd card. My internal 11 GB is almost full so I want to move some larger games to the external card. Please help.
Look for apps2sd in Google play store..

Thanks, I tried that app just now and it doesn't do anything different than what the built in system tools does. It just keys me move apps on the phone to the sd card. My question is how can I move apps from my sd card (internal) to my external card to save space and have the same functionality a if the were installed in the phone. It would be cool if you could just install apps like you can on a 32 GB iPhone.

GMan901 & XDA Members:
If you're willing to shell out the cash for a Micro-SDXC card, I can show you how to swap your internal and external storage (SD cards). In my case, I started out with a 16GB GT-N7000 (International Note) and an 8GB Micro-SD card. I had apps installed on my internal SD card and would put all of my media (music, photos, videos) on my external storage (8GB Micro-SD card); but in the end, it wasn't enough. I ended up running out of space on my internal storage anyway; and considering that there's no way to replace the internal storage, I had to find another solution.
Now, on paper the Galaxy Note officially supports a maximum of 32GB of external storage. However, several sources have confirmed that the Galaxy Note (at least the GT-N7000 anyway) is capable of supporting Micro-SDXC cards of up to 64GB in size, and possibly even larger. However, no matter how large your external storage is, it's still your external storage. Now, if you were able to swap your internal and external storage, you'd have a fixed, 11.5GB external SD card that you would never be able to change, but you would also now have an internal SD card that you could increase or decrease in size whenever you like. In my case, I currently have a 32GB Samsung class 10 Micro-SD card that I bought on Amazon and configured to be my internal storage. Also, If I ever need more internal storage, all I have to do is purchase a larger card, copy all of the files from the old card to it, and insert it into my phone. It really is a great setup. If you're interested in trying this, just let me know and I'll post the necessary file(s) and instructions.
Also, it sounds to me like you are a former iPhone user. If you are, you should know that I am as well. As a matter of fact, it was the new iPhone 4S that I switched to Android from. At first, I found the transition to be..... less than smooth. However, with a little help from the good people here at XDA, I was able to not only make the transition, but also discover just how much more powerful Android is in comparison to iOS. In all fairness though, iOS is, for lack of a better term, the perfect "everyman" mobile OS. But if power, control, and versatility are your bag, Android is the way to go. So if you are in fact a recent iOS-to-Android convert, please let me know. I'd be happy to help show you the ropes.
Let me know if you'd like to swap your phone's internal and external storage; and also let me know if you've recently ditched iOS. In addition to the internal/external storage swap trick, there are a plethora of other tricks, hacks, mods, and techniques that can be used on Android to yield an almost infinite number of effects, changes, and improvements. Android is very tinker-friendly. So just let mw know how new you are to it, and I can show you all kinds of stuff.
Thank you,
Ed (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

Heck yeah, I would like to know! Yes, I was an iPhone user since 2007. A long as I don't need to root my phone out install a custom firmware, I would really like to know how to use my 32 micro sd card versus the ridiculous 11 GB the Note gives you to install apps and games. I barely had enough room to install Real racing 2.

Well, you will need to root your phone, but it's a completely reversible process. And if you do it correctly, you won't even trip the flash counter.
Anyway, we need to start with what build you're currently running. Could you check "Settings > About Phone" and let me know what build you're currently running. With any luck, it'll be a build that lets you use the ZergRush exploit. That way you won't have to downgrade your phone first.

Hi Mister_Mxyzptlk,
I have the same doubt/need... I would love to learn more from your experience.
I am rooted and my build # is GINGERBREAD.XXKL7.
I don't mean to hijack this thread!
thanks in advance!
do you also repartition in the process of switching?
Same Problem

Root your phone, put the sd card in a card reader for your pc, make a second partition on your sd card (Fat32 oder Ext4), get the app Link2SD and your good to go.

Thanks, but I don't have card reader, can I use phone to partition sd card.
You can have a look at my signature
I used two apks I found on here. They literally swap memory. My SD shows as 64gig USB and acts like USB.

You can by connecting your device to a pc in mass storage mode and using a partitioning software. But it's kind of tricky. I tried several times to no avail so in the end I got myself a card reader. I recommend you to do the same, they are cheap nowadays. It's far more reliable than trying to do it with your phone.

The spec sheet states a 64GB size limit on the external sd card, but has anyone tried a 128GB card? If a 64 works, I can't imagine a 128 wouldn't, but wanted to see if anyone can confirm this.
Thanks in advance.
It will work, but I'm not sure it will support exFAT. You can put in the card and see if the phone allows you to format it and use it.
If not, you'll have to format the card as FAT32, using a tool like Rufus. In which case you're limited to maximum file size of 4GB.
I know this is an old thread but for anyone interested I have a Sandisk 200gb installed and everything is working fine.
Anyone know the best kind of SD card to get I was reading and found there's different types and was wondering what the vivo xl is even capable of having I know tins said how much it can hold but was about like the type of speed can it use a UHS-II class?
