To make plain what I mean:
The 16GB Galaxy Note N7000 comes with 2GB of "Internal Phone Storage" and around 11GB of "Internal SD Card". I would like to move the boundary between "Phone Storage" and "SD Card", so that I end up with, say, 4GB of "Internal Phone Storage" and only 9GB of "Internal SD Card".
There are fixes like this for some Rockchip-based Android phones, and of course some devices such as Google's Nexus do not make this distinction at all.
Just wondering whether one can modify the Note to have more "Phone Storage", or even one flat memory pool.

Actually I do, but I was looking for "phone storage" as keyword, not "data partition" ... Thanks! :good:
Phone storage is a partition itself

Read again that thread, because that is what you need: modify data partition in order to get more phone storage.

First, sorry, SORRY, for this question, but after two days searching in xda and google I could'n find the aswer. I also searched on FAQs (note and s2 FAQs) but I could't find it.
/data is only 2gb, and usb storage +-11gb. I know "USB Storage" is /sdcard/ and /external_sd/ is the external microsdcard.
Searching, I found that some people said that "Settings -> Applications -> [app] -> Move to SD" were moving their apps to /sdcard/ (USB Storage), but others said that their apps were moving to EXTERNAL sd.
In my N7000, apps are moved to EXTERNAL sd, not usb storage. I don't like this because SD is slower, so I ask...
-Is there any way to move to USB Storage (internal 11gb partition)?.
-Is there any way to resize /data from 2gb to -+7-8gb? (even if root is needed)?
-Will ICS update change some of this?
-If "Move to SD" move to "USB Storage" in some devices, what firm version are they running?
Sorry again for askin, thank you for reading and thank you so much for answers.
P.S. sorry for my english.
no one can clarify this?
to resize the 2gb you would need to find a way to repartition the device
and most normally go to the sd card ratehr than internal storage as thats how the apps2sd is made, you might have to find a way to hack it to use the internal storage rather than sd card
Maybe try to remove the external sd card and then start moving your apps to sd card? I think this way it'll go to internal since it'll be the only sd card available..

humm... maybe a link in "/sdcard/external_sd/" to something like "/sdcard/fake_sd/"?... would require external memory... but all data would be on the internal, so it should be much faster... humm...

I tryed it, but when I try "Move to SD" from Settings > Applications it says something like "No SD. Insert SD card.".
BTW, ICS will have the same partitions? I read something that it will be like Galaxy Nexus, without parition (and without USB Mass Storage, only MTP)... How is it on SGS2? I'm sure it will be the same...
[Q] Any MOD to use "Internal SD as Phone Memory" and "External SD as Internal SD" ?
Hi mates,
I wonder if there is any "MOD" that allows us to use "Internal SD as Phone Memory" and "External SD as Internal SD", thus;
Phone Memory would be 11GB instead of 2GB
Internal SD would be 32 or 64 GB instead of 11Gb
Cheers....
In CM9 you can go into settings->Storage-> Menu button -> Storage configuration , then change it.
I don't know if this is a universal choice in ICS for the Note.
Here you go... follow this video

I dont think this will work on note....from the coments i think this isnt really safe to try....rom with certain kernel for note has external card mounted as sd card....i think is gl notecore....

I recently received an error message stating that there is an error to install the app in the default location.
Apparently the "Device memory" is used up - available 224 MB.
When I try to "move app to sd" card, it showed I dont have a SD card. Is it possible to move app to the "USB storage"?

You must have an SD card. Maybe search the Play Store for an "Apps to SD" app and see if that helps. I have all my larger apps moved onto SD.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Thanks for your reply. However, what I wanted was moving app to usb storage(the internal storage rather than a sd card), is it possible?

Hi, I think USB (micro SD?) storage is external storage? I dont think this can be done on the Note, unless you locate the Apps using a File Manager and manually move them. Personally I think this could be problematic and could make apps load slowly. Personal opinion.

Remember, if you are using a micro SD then, technically, you have 2 "SD Cards", one internal one external. Moving apps to SD does not move them onto the micro SD card (external storage) it moves them into the internal SD (separate partition) thus freeing up the internal memory.
I hope this makes sense.
Hi,
My 8GB S3 Mini reports a total of 4.65GB storage. Does anyone know why this is? Have I been shortchanged or does it keep some (a lot) of storage reserved for the OS that it doesn't report?
I think that we are getting scammed.4.5 GB isn't even near 8 GB

The 8GB internal memory is split up for "system", "data", "boot", "cache", "recovery" partitions and "sdcard". System and data is eating about 2GB and the rest about 120MB, so you are fine with your 4,65GB "internal sdcard" left.

Thanks for that, I was thinking it was something along those lines but wanted to be sure.
Hey guys. To activate Adoptable Storage on the Asus Zenfone 2 Laser, I followed this guide:
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/thread-79993-1-1.html
After that, I was able to format the SanDisk SD Card. But only for APPS ???
What I mean is that there are 2 options.
First Option: "Use as an Internal Storage for apps only". This I am able to chose.
But the 2nd Option "Use as an internal storage for both apps and data" is greyed out...
So is this suppose to be like this?
Or is there something wrong?
Cause I can't add anymore media to my SD Card, the PC doesn't even see it.
tnx for help!
