Well, the 16gb internal storage would definitely not be enough for a tablet... Is there any way to reverse the internal and the external storage using Xposed? And what kind of format on the sd card should I use, FAT32 or exFAT? Thank you!

No, but there are apps you can use to extend the internal storage to the external.
However it always suprises me when people say that 16gb is not enough.
I have nothing but apps and app data on the internal storage, loads of apps installed and still plenty of space for more.
Everything else goes on the sdcard.
ExFat.

Sometimes apps like Facebook can take up a few hundred of MBs and the average size of the apps I installed is about 100 MBs plus some cache with them... And the actual usable storage on the tab s is much less than 16gb, so once I installed too many apps, the shortage of internal storage comes... Btw What kind of apps can I use to extend the internal storage to the SD card? Or is there any way to reverse the storage without using the Xposed?
Link2sd Pro and Foldermount being 2 that I've used. Link2sd Pro being my preference.

I think there's a way to use it in a sort of apps2SD style. I wouldn't suggest it though because the eMMC used in the phone is slower than the SDcard and must share bandwidth with the system.
yeah i know what you mean, but the phone itself has 7ish gb of flash memory (total of 8gb) that dedicate 1gb to the system (746mb usable) so instead of been just there is there any way to use them as part of the system (as right now my phone sees 2 sd card the physical one (16gb) and the internal 6ish gb) this last one I don't use it at all so my question is is there any way to partion it the system one to be able to use the total 8gb internal flash memory?
Same way Motorola Droid X Does
Yes, edit the vold.fstab file in /system/etc and switch the last two lines. Specifically the the "auto" and beyond and the "3" and beyond. Leave what's before the auto and the 3 on the last two lines.

I think the app NotEnoughSpace will do that for you. Or more to the point it will allow you to use some of that space for the /data/data partition which on the Dinc is allocated to 150MB and is responsible for the "Application out of space" errors people get all the time.

That just mounts emmc as sd and sd as emmc. I think what hes asking is if there is a way to dedicate more than 1gb of the memory to the system out of the 7gb free. So in other words out of 8 total gb he wants 7gb to be dedicated to the system and 1gb for emmc storage.

+1 on this as well.I just store important stuff on there which is nowhere near 1gb used. 700 some mb is just not enough for me.

There has to be a way to do it i just have no clue how. But i would love to have more space for system.

notenoughspace is useful for moving what's in /data/data so there's no more FC's and warnings when it gets low based on the old 150mb and under. all my media and storage of files is on a 16gb sd so I'm hardly using the emmc. once this is figured out I'll reset my /data/setup based on how much more space we can allocate for more apps outside the initial 1gb
update: after playing with "NES" and moving certain apps one by one to avoid problems I nearly have almost 120mb freed up in data/data and notice some increase in performance unless my eyes are fooling me
any news on this? I'd love to create more program memory out of the emmc
OK I'm not sure what's going on here.
I have a 32gb memory card in my e4gt. I have my camera set to save on sd card yet my USB storage is pretty low and I don't store much on my phone.
my phone reads
SD Card Total Space: 29.71 gb, Available: 23.37
USB Storage Total Space: 11.50, Available 2.17
Device Memory Available space 1.49gb
I want to know what is taking up so much space on my USB Storage. I have no media on my phone besides the pictures i've taken which is 144 and about 150 i've added via USB from my computer.
Can someone help me understand how my storage is working?
Sorry for such a noob question.

This app will tell you exactly what is using your space up. The UI sucks but it works.

aw dang it! It was gameloft! I selected download to external sd card when I downloaded the files to each game. IS my USB storage considered as external SD to some apps? Would it have worked if I just copied the gameloft folder to my external sd card?
Yeah those gameloft games eat up space real fast. As far as I know, you can't just move the data to your external SD, the game won't be able to find the data then. Try this app, I have never used it but it supposedly allows you to do it. Needs root though.

Ok, so I understand the whole 2GB's System Storage & 11.something Internal Storage that somehow make up 16GB right?
I bought a 32 GB micro SD card that is virtualy not even being used by the phone. I have enough space on the 2gb portion for all of my apps, my problem is that whenever I download an app like GTA3, Six Guns, or Modern Warfare it saves all the date files on the 11gb Internal instead of the 32GB micro SD.
This is so dumb, I have already filled the 11gb's with so much app data and I wanted to know if there is a workaround or something, maby disable the 11GB's Internal storage so that I can have 32gbs for all the data dump. Anybody had this problem???
Its very annoying right, I cant get link2sd to work either because of the way this s2 is partitioned. Depending on what ROM or version Android your running you might be able to unmount internal sd in storage options, or maybe try the data bind method thats somewhere in these forums.

bump...also interested in a solution for this.
Me too
Lurking from my e4gt using Tapatalk 2
Yes. It is very annoying I know how you feel.
My internal storage is really loaded whit junks etc now I can't even install games because I lack space...
So my sdcard is 4 years old never bothered to buy a new one or anything I have some space free and I'm just not sure how to move it into my sdcard...
And on my internal memory I got a lot of same folders as my external sd not sure if I move them will it duplicate folders or overwrite them will I loose my songs ? Etc...
I know nooby question but never bothered myself before so yeah...
Thanks !

Move all unnecessary files to your external sd card. It will only duplicate files if you select to copy them so remember to MOVE them and leave your internal memory for apps, games, and any folders the phone will automatically create. If you notice a drop in memory just clear the cache on a regular basis.

I ran into same situation before. so I decided to invest in 32gb external card and moved my files there..they are fairly cheap now (like sub $25)
then I also found this thread by Zedomax and allowed me to swap internal and external now I have bigger external card reading as internal and smaller interal card reading as external so I can really load all kind of apps+data. pretty cool concept without spending more money for bigger internal card equiped GS3. here is the link..

Per my understanding not all custom roms will work with this mod.
I love the firesticks, but I have non stop issue is that lack of memory 8GB, that is ate up mostly by the OS. Yes, you can add a usb and format it as internal, but 90% of apps from the amazon store block external install. I always run out of room. I am unlocked and rooted. Just wondering a good app or easy way to format a external and add to internal. Anyone have any thoughts?
Anyone have any idea how to add internal memory? i have not had any luck...
