[Q] Z's Internal storage vs SD card - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So hi guys,
I am buying a Xperia Z so here's my question:
Should i use the internal 16gb's of the phone or a 10 class sdcard (wich i already have) - will the sd card be faster?
I will be playing games.
And one more question - what rom do you use now? Wich one has good performance?
Thanks!

i also would like to know. need better battery then now with cm7, had django on it but all my game data is on external sd (cm7 mount) so i need to invert stock mount.
You have two options, most likely forget one and do this: download an old zip which do this, then compare the present files with zip. You might be able to make it. Most of us enjoys the way stock mounts sd. Another option are to move the data, not sure it's compatible as I don't game and if trying CM I always flash the addition to keep SD stock

[Q] Does this phone support Micro SDXC cards?

Has anyone tried an SDXC card with the RAZR i? If so what filesystem and did it work?
Thanks.
Is this what you are looking for ?
Yes, has anyone tried one of these yet?

Yes. I'm running that one just fine (shows as 59.46GB). Just make sure you don't reformat it on your PC...
By definition, microSD is limited to 32 GB and only microSDXC can go further.
Spec sheet says Razr i can support 64 GB card, so I guess this should be okay.
Well, the same spec sheet says that there is no FM radio...
That's great news.
What is the file system? I'm interested to see if it supports exFAT.

I have not tried exFat because I had already formatted it in fat32 for use with a xperia ray...
So, I have this sandisk 64Go fat32 installed on my Razr i and no problem!

I'm pretty sure android doesn't support it. Exfat at least doesn't work in any of my Android devices

[q] sentinel rom

Hello to all,
I need an information about the sentinel rom for i9305. If I fit this rom then I work the micro sd?
I tried to install other rom based on Android 4.2.2 and with all the sd card was not ready, back to the rom with 4.1.2 instead worked perfectly.
I would like to provre this rom which I think is wonderful, but I would like to have the certainty of the operation of micro sd
Thanks to all

Format your SD using Fat32. That's what I did and had no problem at all

[Q] Swap external to internal?

is there anyway to do the swap on the Xperia Z C6602 any stock ROM (4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2)?
I had searched about it, and this is what I had Found, you need to modify the vold.fstab file, which should have 3 lines, for the internal, external and USB but mine have 2 there is no line for internal, and for the 4.4 can't be since this is related to the Kitkat SD restriction which can be fixed?
I have tried several ways, on 4.2.2 and 4.3 and even 4.4.2 with no success, so what is it I'm doing wrong?
My device is Xperia Z rooted and with dual recovery, Locked Bootloader, 64 GB Ultra sandisk, Stock ROM (4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2)

There is a thread discuss SD fix. you should search it more carefully.http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/fix-t2759826
you can use the method or an app.
I think 2G RAM is enough to run any apps so it doesn't need to swap.

thank you for your answer, but I'm not talking about the fix for SD writing since I know about it already,
I'm talking about making my 64 GB card act like my internal so I install more apps since we can't move apps, and the RAM has nothing to do with this, I hope now I'm clear.

Bro. That's app2sd, not swap.
swap means using part of your internal memory as device's RAM, it seems the Virtual Memory on Windows.
Stock 4.4.2 don't support it. If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can give a try on custom Rom.I'm on slimKAT 5.10 right now and it support this. butter smooth.

thanks, but even link2sd not working with me and the mount folder app too, so can it be done on any stock ROM? since the 16 GB is not enough for me apparently,

Dude, it's class 10 and offers nearly 80mbps transfer speed. Besides they provide 10 year warranty. Buy the 32 GB variant

I'm using an Unofficial version of LineageOS 14 (7.1.1 android), but i think that the SDCard should work on any rom.

It's not 100% stable (the camera can't focus) but still good for everyday use and I'm happy with it
So you can use the whole 64 gb as internal memory correct?
