Hi all, never thought to ask this before, but what is the maximum file size that can be stored on the internal sd? Also what is the format of the internal sd as I know fat32 is upto 4gig but I don't know if it is fat32 or not?
It is ext4 fat32 is a Microsoft things. I have never had an issue with coping any file. Never copied anything over 2gb though as most files are not even close to that.

Hey guys, currently i'm using a 1gb sd card with cyan rom installed to my htc dream phone.
If I want to change to a higher capacity sd card, how should i go about doing it? In terms of the applications and stuffs?
Do you have your sdcard partitioned in any way? if its only a fat32 formatted card, you can simply format the new one fat32 and copy all files from the old card to the new. If you have it partitioned, match the smaller partitions on the new card (match sizes of ext 2/3/3 and linux swap if you have one and copy files accordingly) and copy old fat32 stored files onto new one (the fat32 partition size difference should not effect anything). I've tried this myself a few months back upgrading from a 4gb class 4 to an 8gb class 6 and I had no issues. Just be sure both cards were partitioned with the same program if you are using linux [I run Ubuntu], otherwise you may run into admin permission problems
Mine is formatted in the way in this site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32B_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
So how should I go about doing it?
RAM 512Mb but you only have aprox 326 Mb for yourself, the rest are used by the OS and System Services.
Internal SD, can come in 8GB models or 16GB models
External SD, is whatever SDHC micro SD card you want to insert into it, supports up to 32GB micro SD cards
the Internal SD is split in 2 GB for System OS Apps, and whatever is left over is yours to use.
the Internal SD is aprox a Class 4 SD card
Amd what about system types on internal sd? What is reason for so slow stock i/o? FS type? LagFix i choosed store data on same chip...

exactly because of that the internal SD is split into 2 active partitions, by having the swap file on another SD card, then it lessen the access time

Ok! But..... CFLagFix-1.70 moves files to internal SD, not external.
It was in internal, and became also internal. So what's the difference?
Ok, maybe another partition, but same storage! May by file system structure, heard about some journals??? or what else??
yesterday i've tried to write an 720p movie that have 4.6gb on my memory card wich i can't because the file system of the memory card is FAT32.
as everyone knows FAT32 supports only files below 4gb
after some goooooogle i've found that if i'll format the micro sd in EXT2, wich LINUX know how to use it, i can copy files that have more than 4gb.
said and done after a whole white night !
then i've got another problem called "inode size".
'busybox mkfs.ext2' format micro sd with inode size 256 wich Ext2IFS does not know how to handle it
DAMN !
sleeeeeep...
then start again. this time i've installed ubuntu using vmware, format the card in EXT2 with inode size 128, BUT my phone says "SD card blank or has unsupported file system."
i've tried EXT2 with inode size 256 and i got the same error...
questions:
- if android is based on linux it should read EXT2, right?
- does anyone have any ideea how to copy files that have over 4gb on micro sd card?
any help...?
Hey Guys..
I dunno if this has been answered before, but I can't seem to find. But I wanted to be able to put files larger then 4gb on my sd card. I have read a few things that people have partitioned their SD card into 2 partitions. 1) fat32 partition that the phone sees as sd-ext, and 2) a 2nd partition that allows files larger then 4gb.
Any recommendations/suggestions how I could do this? Or any apps that assist in this?
My phone is rooted btw...obviously its a script that would need to be run at boot.
Thanks!
I feel like I'm missing something here.
I can't transfer a movie into my SD card. It's admittedly a large file. Around 5 and a half gigs. Since its over 4, I get that pesky error that happens with Fat32 formatted storage. I tried reformatting the card to NTFS, but the phone just asks to reformat it when the card is reinserted.
Anyone have a solution or am I stuck having to rip the movie in a smaller file size?

Fat32 is 32bit filesystem so it won't be able to read / write more than 3.76gb files , so you can use exFAT instead of fat32
