I have a samsung galaxy gt-i9001 and I am a big fan of gameloft and there games. I play a lot of different games on my phone. But slowly my internal sd card begins to fill up. Now i only have 5 mb left. But i have a 16 gb micro sd card. And there is plenty of memory left there. I was wondering if it is possible to mount my external sd card as my internal sd card, so there will be more space for games and other files needed for apps. Currently i am on the latest cm9 rom. But i am willing to change this.
Also sorry if this question allready was answerd in a different thread. I googled the question but nothing came up.
Also sorry for bad english.

So basically my question is: is it possible to do this on i9001 running on ics?

go in settings/apps/pn sd card/pres app/mount to sd card.
No. Thats not it. Thanks for reply anyway. I would like that my phone "thinks" that my external sd card, my internal sd card is. (Sorry for bad english) so that then actually swap. So when a game saved data automatically on the internal sd card, it will actually be stored on my external sd card... but the apps think they store data in internal...
Am i so unclear?

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

Go to CWM, then Advanced >> Partition SD EXT (1024mb is good, 0mb swap),
Then from mount & format, you can format SD-ext, Install scrip(Or use S2E if you like).
Here is some tutorials:

u can use mini tool partition wizard .
its very easy buddy
just be careful when partitioning your mircosd card because it will automatically reformat your memory card thus erasing everything that's currently saved inside.
be sure to backup you memory card's contents first before partitioning.
mini tool partition wizard is best ! Works like a charm for me .
Hello people,
Currently Im using Tiramislim V2.0 and it's really a great rom, but lately I kept suffering from insufficient storage to install apps, I've used the script in Aroma installer and yet still having the same notification mentioning insufficient storage .
So I had bought a Class 4 16GB Kingston Micro SD for my phone. So can anyone teach me and guide me on how to make space for apps using the SD card? thank you in advance :good:.

Hey! It only sends to the internal SD and not the external SD and ram usage seems to be higher, is it normal?
Hi, i'm trying to install the game asphalt 7 on my device, but i have to place a 1.3GB folder inside "sd/Android/obb" problem is my phone only has 1gb of internal memory, does this mean i cant play this game at all? Is there any way i could use my external sd to put the files there, i got plenty space in there, any way of boosting the internal memory?
My phone is rooted so if i needed to install anything i can, any help will be much apreciated, thanks:laugh:
Hi mate.
First lemme tell ya dat u r in the wrong Forum.
Secondly yes the game data can be stored in sd-card. Worked for me in case of NFS SHIFT.
Thirdly you can partition your sd-card and Link your apps to sd card whereby phone memory will be freed.
You can find the proceedure to create EXT partition in XDA by searching or may checkout my blog www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in

Always welcome mike, i had started the blog to help my friends who find xda confusing.
And Sorry to say but currently for your device there is no Q&A section but still you can use Galaxy Ace 2 General Forum.

..... 8 Gb Internal.... Now we all Know thats a Lie..
You by far only get your 4 Gb if a lot and those with 16.. well Ok? I suppose
But here is my true Issue, we all Know that you can insert a MicroSD Card in the phone right?
But why is it that its absolutely impossible to install anything on the sd card!!! Is it my Phone or??...
Apps fail to put their data on the Card.. you see I have a 64 Gb MicroSD Card I'm a very huge game enthusiast
most of my games are always 1Gb and above so by best I can only have have 3 HD Games??
now how is that Fair whilst I have a 64 GB Card
so is it my phone or do yours have the same issue??
Please let me Know if you have the same issue or the Solution I am totally Lost :crying:

But root required.
Oh and you're not the only one with this issue. But, as far as i know, without root, you can't do anything about it.
Yep you cannot install apps in the external SD Card. That's not your phone's problem, it's Android 4.0+ problem.
But then ofcourse if you root, you can do anything :good:
U always can use Link2sd, but 64GB sdcard?
S advance suppost to support up to 32GB only i guess
