How to swap HTC Desire 816 low internal device storage to larger external SD card - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi devs,
I have come across that HTC Desire 816 though it has internal storage of 8GB...(3.8GB accessible)....too low to install large hd games etc.
Yes it support until 128GB external micro sd ....but it will be a bonus if we can swap its internal to external micro sd.
have someone able to do that ? please share.....yaaa it's must be rooted ......first .....

Should I put the obb files for hd games in ext sdcard first then mount it everytime to start the game? How about the save data? Is it automatically saved on ext sdcard?

Use "foldermount"...

Are you using A2SD+? Or this is the internal memory?
I have problem with internal memory
What are more things are on the memory I can delete
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Unless you are S-OFF, you can only delete the things you've installed by yourself or move them to the SD Card (Non_A2SD+).
What do u mean s off
I mean the apps is about 50 mb what happened with 200 mb

Probably cache & Other non-app related stuff.
Also, if you don't have A2SD+ (not App2SD), then some applications will be on Internal memory even after moved to the SD card.

I am not an android expert, but you do need app2sd or data2sd to fix this.
Any 3rd party rom with those X2sd supported can let you extend your limited phone storage. I don't know the android system file structure at all but here is the general idea.
i. App2sd
This will install the apps (most of them) on your sd card, but the data, I think, still remains on your phone internal storage. Your system should be very fast as normal even with low class sd card (most of the time I think :-0 ).
ii. Data2sd
This is a little bit tricky, it requires you to format your sd card and make use of the sd card instead of your internal phone storage for the operating system. You generally get an unlimited store, it depends on how much memory you allocated for the system, also you need a higher class sd card as better.
iii. Data2sd mixed mode
This is the best solution for me . it moves almost all to the sd card but some part of the system with more i/o on the phone internal storage (actually symlinks point back to the device on sd card). This will make the system fast (faster than pure data2sd), extended the phone storage a lot, but still limited to the phone internal storage (better than app2sd though)
Again, this is just my understanding. I haven't looked into Android in depth yet, but I will one day I have enough time
You can found the ROMs and almost everything you need from here:

Really appreciated the people who did the job there.
I have app 2 SD
I fixed partition ex2 to move the apps but I can't see ext2 partition
Must I have app2sd+ , where can download it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Create at least EXT3 with more than 512 MB.
You don't have the option anywhere, to move to the EXT partition, it is automatically done by the script.
To see your EXT partition you must use TI Backup (Shows only as A2SD+) or GParted.
Ok not ext2
I have tried with ex2 it doesn't work , should I have swipe ?
I will do it with Linux
Which Rom do u think is best now ?
Where can I download a2sd+ ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
A2SD+ is not a program, it is a script. Included in the ROMs.
Look around in the Desire Android Developement Section for ROMs and pick one you like. Most of them have A2SD+.
Do some reading... rooting guides include all the information you need
I will format the SD and try to found some Rom with a2sd+
Why desire have very little memory it should be 2 or 4 gb
Thank everyone and I will be back with feedbAck

No brainer... Data2SD !

This has always been a problem with my desire until i found out about AlphaRev. Now i've got 166MB free internal space. My suggestion is to install AlphaRev and modify the partition tables as listed in the tutorial on alpharev.nl. I would have posted a link but i can't post links yet.
i downloaded RCMIxHD_v3.4_ROT_D2EXT_RC1 and made a parttion ext3 and now work perfect.
Thank u everybody

[Q] acesMod007-3d help!!

Hi sorry for being a big noob but I really need your help guys. I was having low memory issues on my desire so I sucessfully rooted today. I also install the AceS007-3d stable Rom from the developers section and successfully flashed that. It says that I need a sd card with a partition to move apps to ad. I have a 4gb sd card with a 2gb ext2 partition. But when I install an app it still is on the internal memory! the apps should move to the sd card shouldn't they? What do I need to do for them to move? Please help!! Thanks
I don't think you understand how it works fully. Read the root memory faq available via my signature

[Q] Move all apps in rooted device ?

Hello All,
I have rooted my WIldfire S , Is there any possibility that I can move all applications (not system apps) to SD card . This cell has has very low internal memory. Can we move FB app to SD card aswell ? If yes can anyone guide me ?
Thanks
I tried Link2SD and Data2SD but they sometimes hang the cellphone
P.S: Sorry if I created the Thread in wrong section
Data2SD does that.Int2ext too.Mounts2SD could do that also.
But you should not do that unless you have sdcard class 6, or higher.
