Hi guys,
I know this may sound noobish to many but just wanted to ask and confirm this finally.
does the Xperia SP have a free for all storage format for the 8 GB pardon me 5.5 GB internal emmc storage as in can an app take up all 5.5 GB or is it partitioned into app data and sdcard0.
also this question is for stock and cyanogenmod.
Thanks,
Dark Passenger
The SD card is emulated so internal and SD card share the same space.
While you can use the space it may impact on system apps and speed etc.

um so basically there is no partition for /data and /sdcard0 and its all /data only.
with all of 5 gb acessible to apps.
Yes.
When using root explorer the amount of space left is the same for SD card and data.

dude thats awesome...I dont think you have a move to internal storage tab too right.
The emulated storage (joined data and internal sdcard) has been standard in android for a long time now. Only old and ultra low cost phones using very old chips will still use the 'old' method.

Hey guys hope someone have experienced it but i want to know what would be the best storage location for apps? Would the phone run faster if they are in phones memory? Or the sdcard?
Is there any differece about it??
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
It depends on your sd card class a. Class 10 would be faster than internal memory
Thanks for reply.! I currently have 8gb class 4 what would u think? Keep apps on internal memory or on sdcard?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Class 4 is enough for smooth running from sd card,but faster is better!

mine's 8gb class 4 too and it seems fine for me,well apps which has widgets etc shud be installed on internel memory,other apps and games to sd card,install app2sd,it will notify automatically whether the app can be moved to sdcard or shud be left on internal memory

With class 4 there is always problems with your phone recognizing the SD card. Class 4 will work on stock but most of the time it wont work on a custom kernel. I always suggest people to get a class 10. Search the internet you will get it for cheap
Stuff that you have running the whole time you need keep them in memory. With games i suggest putting them on an external SD card. Even if its a slow SD card you save space with your internal memory.
Thanks for the reply guys hey have someone ever tried partitioning the sdcard, and would the phone read the 2 partitions as external storage? Might be a noobi question
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
With app2sd app u create 2 partition,one for storage and one for app2sd.U see one partition(for storage),other is "invisible" because it is for moving apps to sd card.

I have a class 4 16 gb. Its is ok for running games and other stuff. For important stuff, like things that need SU and things you use daily, it is best to keep it in phone memory.

Use ext2 for the second partition. And use app2sd script to make it work =D

You can choose external sd-card to store in a lot of apps, but you can not set it to be the main,

So the sp does not support moving apps to the sd card. As a result of this, having the phone for a week I keep getting warnings to say the memory is over 75% full. Is there a way around this yet? I really like the standard Rom and hope I don't have to wait for custom roms.

for this u should have root access (on a custom rom)
it will allow u to mount external memory to internal

Move everything else to sd that you can, photos music downloads etc.

Well it all Google fault to limit the movement to sdcard. But there's always few apps that natively supported moving data to sdcard.
For now, without root I have to use clean master to delete junk file on my XSP every few day

I would like to have the micro SD as a default location like on my old phone.
Now all app data I backup (like WhatsApp or trafficmanager) goes to sd0 internal. So everyone I want to whipe the phone I have to move it by hand. Verry time consuming.
Apps I just want installed on internal.
I have root. What's the best way to achieve this?

Download Link2SD, moves all your apps and app data to your sd card and any future data will aswell, however you'll have to manually link every app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
You need root to use these apps.
When using link 2sd you have to create a secondary partition on PC make it primary and use fat32 this is supported by stock.
You can link all apps to extsd
I use foldermount pro to move game data to extsd. As a result of using both these apps I have over 4gig free on internal.

the question is how did you do it bro i can't figure out i have sandisk 16 gigs class 10 sd card..so pls tell me..
both of these apps Are free on play store.
Link2sd needs a secondary partition creating I used easeus free windows tools and set to primary. Then open app and select apps you want, then create link.
Folder mount works similar but you need to create a new folder then select which data files to copy across.
Search Google for the how to guides or xda how to use
Try clean master.

Link2SD is for those small apps that dont use /sdcard/android/data or /obb folders. FolderMount is for those huge /obb data and more. Use both for pushing all those files and apps to microsd.
Can anyone tell me if the external 2 internal works in the kit kat?

I use FolderMount and Download2SD for XPosed Framework. It's not exactly what you're looking but both work flawless for me
Folder Mount is great but when You are using 100+ apps it's not enough.
