Ur data is almost full. To download an app on google apps you must have atleast 200mb free on your storage. Alternatively u can use link2sd to link apps that u installed to second partition to free up some space
I got it working but I had to change the script on a galaxy note 2 LTE gt-n7105 with cyanogenmod 10.2
it wasn't working, and I noticed that the file /dev/block/vold/179:33 wasn't on my phone but I have 179:16 and 179:17
so my script is now like this:
#!system/bin/sh
sleep 3
mount -o remount,rw /
# mount -t vfat -o umask=0000,utf8 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000,utf8 /dev/block/vold/179:17 /mnt/shell/emulated
mount -o bind /data/media/0 /storage/sdcard1
chown system /data/media/0
chgrp sdcard_rw /data/media/0
chmod 0075 /data/media/0
mount -o remount, ro /
is thr any way to even access internal 2gb memory..i asked bcoz my sdcard is only 8 gb i want to use internal memory after swapping
will it work on lollipop??

Hey Guys,
I have Team 8 GB Class 10 MicroSD. I did partition and give ext4 to 2 gb.
I installed CyanogenMod and installed Link2SD. I select ext4 partition in first screen of link2sd. But i can't see ext4. My phone gives me no empty space error.
What should i have to do?

What do you mean exactly by "can't see"?
If you can't see it in the file explorer though if that what you mean.
Link2sd mounts the 2nd SD partition on /data/sdext2 I think and won't be needed to be accessed by a user because link2sd will manage the apps and caching automatically.
I hope this helped you

You can't see it but it's mounted. Link2SD deals with everything bro.
Download disk usage and you will be able to see the second partition

This guy did this and he have 834 mb free space. But i have 40 mb free space.
But i already did partitioning.
Your friend is using data2SD and you are using Link2SD. Data2SD merges together your internal storage and your ext4 partition and makes your phone see those like one and that's all, no control after that. When you using Link2SD it won't show total empty space there where you want it but partition is there, link2sd will take care of everything (if you did setup ok) and you have total control over your apps so link2sd makes better choice for most of ppl here...
No worries, if you did all like it should be those 40mb of free space shouldn't change in long time even after install tons of apps

He's using Data2SD and you haven't installed that.
You must to use Data2SD, it's better because the app get installed on the partition in the sdcard, recomend flash the jikantaru patch, search fot it

It is working very smoothly....
Thanks for the answers guys.
Here is the problem:
"There isn't any space"
"Nearly all apps at SD and this is the situation"
examine gaowmer
Hmmm seems like your Link2sd options are wrong... Open link2sd, go to settings and be shure that auto link and relink lib files at boot are checked. Under Auto link settings all three options should be checked. Under Install location, automatic or external should do the job.
Now you should go back to app list, hit Multi-select option and choose all app's that you wanna (or better, you can) move to external space... When you selected apps hit Actions button and choose Create link... That should do the job

Hi everyone,
Today I got the gt-i9195. I know it has 8 GB of internal storage. I inserted my 32 GB sdcard. But the phone still detects the 8 GB as the external sdcard and the 32 GB sdcard as a second storage. Is there any way to set the 32 GB card as the primary card so that every app accesses the proper storage?
Phone is still unrooted and has stock rom.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
I'm also interested... clearly the root is needed.
And disabling emulated sdcard would be the best (so this space is used only for /data).
I think there is no need of such thing, first you need root then try foldermount (lidroid file explorer+super mount works fine) to move your large folders to sd card like obb files, downloads, music and all folders

Use an app called "gl to sd", this is the easiestv way to store large game data to the SD.

I listen that it doesn't work with S4 mini.
I already know that FolderMount works very good to move large games to external sdcard (clearly having root), also on S4 mini.
But in this thread, it is asked another question: external sdcard mounted into /mnt/sdcard.

Any script to swap internal to external sd card for i9190 ?
Don't see the point of swap all internal to external since external is slower and you loose 6gb of storage, but i think you need a init.d support kernel and script like int2sd+
@iKlutz how you get it working?

1) the internal sd (/mnt/sdcard) is an emulated sdcard (/data/media) and it shares the space with the user data (/data): unique partition.
So disabling the internal sdcard, the 6gb of storage become all for user data.
2) The external sdcard isn't slower if you have a microsd SDXC class 10: you only gain more space in /mnt/sdcard.
God I hate these useless comments on these sdcard threads like "you dont need that/theres no need for that/use folder mount etc.", if you aren't here to answer the question nor help with it, don't comment.
@DeusEx80 i can see what you talk about its about having all 6gb of the internal avilable for /data, i think what you need is something like init.d script to mount /data/media/0 (mnt/sdcard) to external sdcard, im no expert but thats the way to get it, for me until its developed the best way is something like folder mount.

Nothing special.. I just opened the menu options, chose move data and selected games with large data to move to the SD card. After it's been moved, I click the chain icon to Mount the SD card data folder and then press the blue play button and voila, it works.

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...

hi is there any way to make to sd card to be the storage in this device?
and can this device move the apps to sd card?
thanks....
I have K430 model and want the same thing to be able to move apps to sd card!
Every app that I've found was needed root access.
If anyone knows what to do, I would really appreciate any help about it!
As far as I know, if you want to do it you must go to Settings - Storage & USB - Select your SD Card, then click three dots at right corner - Settings and Format. Then you should see Format as Internal Storage and check it. Remember that you'll lose all your data saved on SD Card. To use SD for apps it's recommened to have Class 10 Card at least.

You need to patch Android to be able to move data apps. And I don't recommend you to stablish SD Card as Internal storage.

I enabled Adoptive storage on the K10 by doing the following...
Enabled USB Debugging.
Connected to PC, opened Terminal/Command line to access ADB shell (you'll need adb and drivers for your phone if you've never done this before)
Used these adb commands
THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR SD CARD, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT BACKED UP FIRST. LOST DATA IS ON YOU.

adb shell sm list-volumes all
adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true
adb shell sm partition disk:179,64 private

How to use sdcard as internal storage on my redmi note 8, currently i'm using PixelOS rom. when I go to the setup settings for the sdcard there are two options, using the sdcard as portable storage and as extra phone storage. but when I choose as extra phone storage the formatting process stops at 40% and an error appears "attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.util.arraylist.size()' on a null object reference". is there a way to solve this error or use sdcard as internal in this aosp?

If you have Magisk, you could try this module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4078731/ (look for its latest version on page #7).
It helped me solve a similar problem on another device -- a tablet, not a RN8.

Looks like it's a problem from PixelOS rom, I tried to use another rom and format sdcard it works fine.
Thank you everyone for helping me
Partition your SD Card for installing apps and storing other files at same time.
Make sure you have a root shell. If not, root your device with Magisk first.
Start a terminal, and run su to switch to root shell ($-->#) .
Partition your sdcard. Follow the instructions below.
1. Check your sdcard number.
Code:
sm list-disks adoptable
You will get the output like this:
Remember the disk number for further use.
2. Run the partition command to seperate your sd card space. Some space are used to store apps and their data. And the rest space keeps as external sdcard space.
Use this command to seperate your sd card:
Code:
sm partition "disk_number" mixed "reserved_percent"
Replace "disk_number" with your real disk number. Also you can control how much space goes for storing apps and their data and how much you want to reserved. For example you want 70% of SD Card for storing apps and 30% for original external storage, then "reserved_percent" is 30.
Code:
Example 2: Want 60% of sdcard goes to store apps, 40% as external storage.
sm partition "disk number" mixed 40
Press ENTER to execute your command. All data on your sdcard will be destroyed. Back up all data on sdcard first if needed.
Right now the sdcard has the ability to store apps. Move your apps to sdcard as you like.
Voila!
EDIT: I made a detailed guide here. Check it for more details. Press "like" button if helped you.
