Xperia M 4.3 Storage Swap - Sony Xperia M

I dont know if any one has started a thread about this already. After the release of jelly bean 4.3 for xperia m c1905 all the previous ways of swapping internal and external storage no longer work making it impossible to run large apps anymore. I know it was recently released but has anyone found a way to do this yet, and im sure im not the only one who would like to know.

swapping internal and external storage can be used after you full rooted...
and using something script from cm11...
with this mode..in your display phone setting storage still read 2gb but working perfect in my game like asphalt8 or nfs...
after that you can using link2sd for linking some applications to secondary partition...

is it a similar script that swapped the memory for the xperia m on 4.1.2?:
#!/system/bin/sh
su
vold
mount -t vfat -o umask:0000,uid=1000,gid=1023 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/sdcard0
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/sdcard1

[Q] Internal storage on tommytomatoes Classic Rom

I'd love to post directly to the thread in the developers section to ask this, but until then, can someone testing The Classic v0.0.9 let us know how internal storage is with the latest update?
I'm currently on Classic v0.0.6 with a substantial number of apps moved to SD card with Apps2SD Pro, and still only have about 47 mb of available space in Internal Storage. Just wondering if the latest version has more/less/or about the same amount of internal storage than v0.0.6?
Thanks

I'm running 0.0.9 and have a ton of free storage, however I'm using dta2sd on a partitioned SD card. I'm not familiar with apps2sd pro.
sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg.
Apps2SD Pro just moves part of the app. Data and cache still stay in the internal storage of the phone for the apps. If you use a lot of apps you may want to partitioned your sd card and flash dta2sd. This way the app and data will be moved to sd partition. You can even move the cache if needed. Hope that helps.
I wasn't familiar with dta2sd. Just read some posts stating that this rom already has it. Should I move the apps back to phone using Apps2SD, uninstall Apps2SD, then move to apps back again with dta2sd?

Is your sd card partitioned? If not you must do so to use dta2sd. Just make sure to backup all data from your sd card to your pc before doing so.
Sorry. I did mean to include in earlier post that my SD card is partitioned already. Thanks for all of the help.

Then all you need to do is go into terminal emulator. Type su. Then type a2sd reinstall. This will activate A2SD and move your apps and data to the sd partition. This is if the rom you have has a2sd baked in already. If not you will need to flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715938
Thanks, this worked for me as well!
I'm not sure if it's related, but after flashing DT a2sd, I was able to reinstall the google search box widget on Classic Rom. For some reason, I kept getting errors about a month or 2 ago. So I tried to uninstall/reinstall. For the past month or so, when tried to reinstall/download from Play, I kept getting error message.
Thanks again for this recommendation on a2sd.

What's the error you were getting? I was getting the error (error processing purchase). I used this method to fix it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566447

This is by far the smallest internal storage usage I've had with any ROM. I also have my SD partitioned
and use ROM Toolbox's App2SD...
...and I know its off subject but I would like to share...
...this blows away any battery life I've had with other ROMs and kernels and tweaks.

[Q] Link2SD not recognizing 2nd SD partition (Epic 4G Touch)

Relatively new Android user, running stock EL29 Gingerbread rooted with ClockworkMod on a Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Sprint). I have had major problems with my phone continually rebooting which I'm pretty sure I've confirmed is due to having too many apps moved to the external SD card with the stock App2SD command.
I've read that the only workaround for this is to use Link2SD with a second external SD card partition. I have been trying for many hours to get this working, but Link2SD will never recognize my second partition. I've tried many different options with formatting the external SD card, but nothing ever works.
I've found some posts on this site by d12unk13astard that I read to indicate that Link2SD won't work on the Epic 4G Touch because of the way the internal memory is formatted on this phone. Can anyone confirm that Link2SD can or cannot be used on the Epic 4G Touch? If it can, any idea how I can get it to recognize my 2nd partition? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!
I talked to the guy who made link2sd and gave him a logcat of a command he wanted me to type in terminal, still waiting on a confirmation or solution to this problem as well. I would suggest you also ask about this in the Android section of xda under apps/games. Hopefully an update to link2sd will fix our issue were having.

This^^
Heres a couple pics proving why this app has not been working for our phones(epic 4g touch)
As I thought, link2sd can only see our internal memory card that Samsung has put in our phones mounted as /sdcard. Instead of our external sdcard which has the 2nd partition needed for link2sd to work.
Since the internal memory being mounted as /sdcard cant be partitioned link2sd fails to work. As you can see it fails to see my external 32GB class 10 sdcard on link2sd app.

Insufficient storage Link2SD error?

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I'm running CM9A6 via the RobotoMod 1.0.2 ROM, and I couldn't get the default S2E to work at all. I installed link2SD as a workaround, and while I know it has it's limitations, I can't determine why it won't link an app.
I downloaded Where's my Perry? for my kids, and due to it's size (50+ MB), I wanted to get it out of my internal storage. It isn't working, though - link2SD is throwing an error saying there's "insufficient storage". I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Perry?free is already on the SDCard. You are trying to install it to internal memory and then getting Link2SD to link it back to the SDCard. As you only have 51.18MB free on your internal storage and Perry?free is 52.73MB it won't work. Leave it where it is.

Hi,
For CM9, use Ext4 on 2nd partition on SDcard. Do you have it?.
Link2sd was working fine with me when I had CM9Alpha7. Try only with Link2sd(don't have multiple SDcard apps).
Select 'Autolink' on Link2sd settings. If you do right, all apps will be installed on SD card.

2nd part is formatted Ext2. It works fine other than this one program, and I have it configured to install to SD.
I'll try linking just the dalvik-cache and library, and see if that works, leaving the app on the SD card.

If you bothered to look at the images provided by the OP, you will see that Link2SD is working fine. Changing the partition to Ext4 will not magically create more internal space.
See tats the problem wit link2sd. I used it for a long time after using data2sd. Now I'm back to daya2sd. It may boot slower but it gives u happiness.

In android 4.2.1 the sd card handling has been changed. Now default folder sdcard/0 . So no space on sdcard itself.

Some folders may show incorrect space usage, try mounting as usb from recovery and checking on a computer,
if it still shows as 6GB then something is wrong with your SD formatting or the software, and you need to re-install the rom wiping everything

Thats a good idea, why didn't I think of it? ><
Anyway thanks a lot it really helped me
Apparently I wasn't able to see anything inside my SD card out of the '0' folder, therefore not being able to see the '0' folder, and since it was recognized in my computer as a media device, not mass storage, I wasn't even able to see it in the computer :|
So I'm transfering all my sd card content into '0' folder
Thanks this should pretty much solve it
Though, why the hell is my device recognized as a media device and not mass storage USB? ><
Support for mass storage mode was dropped in Android 4.2. For now on you can use MTP.

Partitioning the sd card is the best solution for low memory i think. This is a good guide though.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
since android 2.2 its in all roms standart and called native 2 sd,its not special to use an app,because the device takes it by it self,the best app for such things is the free app Link2sd.

On Partitioning the sdcard we would be able to use only the specified space and its little complicated and long method.
while on other side when using ROM Toolbox Pro, you can use as many space as you want and the best thing is that it will not reserve any unused space.
Simply your apps will be installed in the sdcard without asking anything.
and its very easy method.

From my point of view "link2sd" is best option for any low internal memory phones!! :-\ :thumbdown: :thumbup:
After moving system apps to sd by link2sd u will get enough space that u can full ur approximately 10 pages with apps!!
So u can try both of the process but link2sd is best!!
:thumbup:
Thanks !!
My experience is that link2sd blocked my deep sleep no matter which kernel/rom.
I prefer amarullz script to increase storage.
depends on your choice...
