Partition internal storage

I'm coming from a LG G2x and gonna be making the switch over to Sprint for this phone as i believe it is the best of the galaxy s2 variant. I'm guessing this won't be possible due to how these phones emmc nand are setup but gonna ask anyways...
Is there a way for users to re-partition the internal storage from 1.5gb to something bigger (like say 4-6gb) and leave the rest for internal emmmc storage, or even completely use the full 12gb available for app storage?
I already own a 16gb external sd card and gonna be upgrading to a class 6-10 32gb for this phone, so i wouldn't need any internal sdcard partitioned from what should be our user app storage. Especially with games coming out today that exceed 500+ mb of storage this would be extremely helpful.

NVM
I guess the only option i have is to be thankful of the 2gb internal storage it will come with and just use gparted to create an ext partition on external sdcard and then use link2sd.

Errr....Where's the Internal Storage?

So if I'm not mistaken, this phone is suppose to come with a 4GB internal storage n a 16GB (or 14.something something GB in reality)MicroSD card. Ok, I get that much, but, where is that 4GB internal storage? I checked in the Storage section and all I see is the 16GB SD card and 1.89GB free space under Internal Storage. If that 1.89GB is the only space left from the 4GB, what the hell is occupying the other 2GB of space? It can't be the OS (I'm very sure that's on a different chip/ram/etc) and whatever it is, I'm not seeing them on the phone (since the HD videos were even deleted when I format the SD card). So what is in here?
Also, Unlike on the Atrix, it seems you can't unmount the internal storage and view them on the computer under mass storage. In the atrix, when I connect the phone to the PC, I get 2 removable drives pop up, one the microSD and the other is called MB860, which is the internal storage of the phone.....So why can't we do the same thing on this phone? Is there something hidden in there? And if it's locked, that means LG lied about having 20GB of storage available on the phone, while it's only 16GB.

According to the official datasheet for the phone (click here) on page 2 under specifications it states that the phone has 4gb internal storage but only 1.91 gb is usable for apps (which is why on your phone it only shows ~1.9 gb available in info).

That leftover space on the internal storage is for apps, specifically for apps that only works or works better in the internal storage over ext. sd card. I just restored all my apps for TiBu, and the apps that go into the internal storage end up in there , and those that go into the sd card end up in my sd card.
Now I only have 845MB of space left on the internal storage, which is not much at all, albeit it is sufficient for several hundred for apps, but still it's very little.

i say once we find a way to get CFW on the phone then we might be able to access it

Let's also remember that the Nitro HD has the 2GB of storage available, while the Optimus LTE only has 1GB.

Htc m8 internal storage issue

Hi everyone,
First time posting here as I have just rooted my HTC. Generally able to find everything i need with a search of the forum except one thing.....
I had 16gb of internal storage when the phone was stock. I installed CM12.1 and now the storage shows as about 10gb in total!! Has the last 6 been used by the system and isn't shown or has something went wrong?
Thanks
Jonny

Are you saying you have the 16 GB version of the M8, or the 32GB version?
If you have the 16 GB version, there is no way you had all 16 GB as internal storage. Some storage of the 16GB is always taken by OS and other partitions (which take up a few GB), and 10 GB of user-accessible internal storage is about right.

format sd card to internal memory

Hello forum,
i´m about to purchase a xiaomi mi a2 lite 64gb 4gb ram and i am concerned that these 64gb of storage wont be enough for me.
i like the idea of Android one and the benefits of it (sleek, needs not much space and so on ... ) and i want to use the stock android.
i already found out that you can format an sd card as internal storage but can anyone of you tell me if you can use this normally with the same speed as the internal storage?
have you made any experiences with an sd card formated as internal storage ?
If yes, which sd card functions properly as an internal storage?
thanks!

High there,
The Samsung 128 Gb works perfectly. noissues with speed so far
Cheers

External SD cards are always worlds slower compared to the internal storage. I really wouldn't suggest to use the card as adoptable storage, better use it as portable storage. Use the internal storage for apps+their data und store pictures, movies, Spotify and such stuff on the external SD.
If your phone breaks, you can't read SD cards formatted as adoptable storage with any other device, because it's encrypted and bound to that unique device.

Pie update solves this issue I think. Just got it today.
