How can I increase the Phone Memory of my Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 Help Plz - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.. I am newbie, and doesn't know much about the Androids. So I need help, Can anybody please tell me that how can I increase internal memory of my Phone? I have a Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 with Android 2.3.6 version on it. My phone memory gets low when I install some apps on it. There's a way to extend the phone memory but I can't get any helpful information related to that, which I can perform easily.

Link2sd if you dont have sd-ext partition. I suggest you to use google more. It might come in handy.

Having a swap memory increases perfomance...But the increase in perf. is too minute to notice..Don't waste space in your sd card by unnecessarily assigning a swap partition..
If you have already flashed A2SD script,then download A2SDGUI from market,the app will let you control the script

Help needed with a2sd

Okie guys...here i come to final thing that i wud love to do on my ace. Probably i ll rest fir few months after that.
I flashed back dxkt5 2.3.6 today.
Installed cf-root b84
Lagfree v2
Converted filesystems to ext4
I am using link2sd app for now with ext4 partition on my sd card.
I heard thar dt a2sd is better than link2sd as it allows to move data as well to sd card. Hence, am planning to enable it as it comes with cf root.
Can anybody plz guide me how to do it with minimal efforts.
By minimal efforts i mean..without having to re install my apps.
If thats unavoidable i m ok with it. But please guide me how to proceed with it.
I am a neebie and hv been trying to understand the things one by one..and i feel this is the last thing which remain untouched by me.
Plz plz help me guys...i promise i wont trouble u after that..if somebody says try google...i hv already done that...but i couldn't make sense out of it...may be because i am a girl. ;-)
Please help.
Thanks.

darktremmor script then either use terminal or use the a2sd gui from market theres a thread with a guide about it somewhere. think its in delvelopment
download the script from here
put in sdcard
boot into recovery
mount system and data from recovery
flash the script
get A2SDGUI from market
open A2SDGUI and the rest is on u. its easy enough for u understand. and good luck with it

Its not hard.
1.Download latest darktremor's a2sd from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926015 and put on sd card.
2.Go to recovery.Mount system,data and sd-ext and flash darktremor's a2sd .
3.After rebooting go to terminal app(download it if you don't have) and type
a2sd cachesdreset and its done.
Thanks guys...one qq...i was just searching about it on google...i am not able to decide if its better than link2sd? do u know which ine is better n y?

Use S2E.Its better than Link2SD
Even i got to the same conclusion...link2sd is better than a2sd.. Going to stick with it.

Wow...your setting us same like me...just different rom, i use xwks6, convert ext4, cf-root b84, link2sd, lagfreev2, for i/o i use noop, 122mhz min, 806mhz max...

S2E and FreeSpace is even more better for handling SD card ext partition
dont listen to opinions. see my sig below?
opinions wasnt always true and it wasnt a fact. it usually based on personal experience, and your experience might be different than others.
test it yourself and see how it goes. u always got cwm backup if something goes wrong.

Cdesai once gave me a non-working kernel that had swapped /data and /system
Herpderp Defy.
yeah emo thats tricking the kernel to mount our sd-ext partition as /data instead of phone data...
so it will work like sd-ext but just won't require anything software...
that should be easy to implement in our kernels
wow. calling devs..
That's a good idea. Then what about this? In HTC desire dev thread talking about 8MB hack, and previously I saw in G1 dev thread is 10MB hack.

That's exactly what I did: The modded boot image, on startup, mounts /data (the internal memory) on SDcard 2nd partition (if there is one, of course)...
...if your second partition (EXT4 formatted due to safety reasons) is 1Gb wide... your internal memory will be 1Gb wide...
That's all!
After that I received many requests for Galaxy FIT and Galaxy ACE via PM...
Actually these three phones get the same kernel (really the same deep inside!) but few drivers not related to boot process...
I was easy able to repeat the tweak for Galaxy FIT, testing the modded images on my Mini loosing only the two physical button control but booting fine ...
And I repeated the tweak for Galaxy ACE too! read here... (mini tweak, FIT tweak and ACE tweak are pretty the same... no "one byte" of difference!)
But due to different screen resolution I cannot test it on my own... (Mini bootloader doesn't handle rle images different from 240x320, hanging...)
The images, actually modded, should work fine (99% sure) but, if there is somebody "adb shell aware" or "terminal emulator aware" I can show three simple "console commands" to check for it 100% without need to flash anything...
After that... Let's Mod whatever you want !

Quattro Shows Only 1.48GB Internal Storage instead of 8GB

I have recently bought one galaxy grand quattro from local shop.
Firstly i doubt about some specification and look of the phone.
1. There is no "DUOS" Symbol at the top of the Phone.
2. I have check Device Internal Storage , It shows 1.48GB.
3. I have checked Hardware Specification By Play Store Application named CPU/RAM/DEVICE IDENTIFIER.
Application says My device is Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro I8552.
CPU TYPE : QualComm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q * 4 1.2096Ghz
RAM : 1GB DDR (Usable 845 MB)
GPU TYPE : ADRENO 203
I have also Checked IMEI on website it shows its Original Samsung win i8552
Also Device can be register with Samsung and i have updated firmware via Wifi.
FIRMWARE : I8552ZTAMG3
Version : 4.1.2
Please help me why my device shows only 1.48 GB instead of 8 GB.
Is there any Device or any Unbranded Version available with these feature ?

May be it is showing used internal memory. And the usable internal memory we used to get 5gb in quattro. Can u please provide a snap in which its stating about 1.48gb of internal memory? If it is really what u r syaing then please go to service centre. And from which region did u buy that phone? The firmware version does not look updated one.

I cannot go to service center because phone is not indian version.
I have searched a lot and finally i found on google that Samsung Has 4GB ROM Version of this phone launched in China.
So finally 1.48GB user available.
Also My Phone baseband itself says its From Taiwan.
I have matched the phone specification on Samsung China official website and they matched with my phone.
I will post the photos soon.
still if you have idea how to expand internal storage please guide me.

Flash indian version of stock firmware to get latest indian version updates and u can move large game data to external memory by using gl2sd app which u will find on playstore. But u have to root ur quattro to use it.

This is quite and old thread, and probably you have already found a solution, but I'm in the same situation, and my solution might help you:
1) I installed External 2 Internal app from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext which swaps internal and external memory, so /sdcard point to the external sd card, as in other phones.
2) I installed Link2SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD and created a second partition (in ext3 format) on the sdcard, and proceeded to link all apps to this second partition using Link2SD.
This way, I've been able to install several big games (such as Fifa 14 and Real Racing 3), along with around 100 apps, and still keep almost 1 Gb free space.
To use those apps, the phone must be rooted. You have to work a bit, but the results are very nice.

Not quite, since external to internal swaps internal and external memory, so you don't have to link folders game by game. And using Link2SD, as it has an option to automatically link folders, you don't have to worry again, either.

Yes but those r complex for maximum users. I can bet maximum dont know how to create partition.. while gl2sd is far easy and usually we need to move game datas only as there r plenty of space in internal sd card for installing applicatioms..

All those apps require a rooted device, which eliminates most of the average users. Once you know how to root your device and do it properly, using Internal2External or Link2SD is not so hard.

Kingo doesn't work on all versions and firmwares (the same happened to framaroot) and cwm is not for all users. Do you really picture unexperienced users using Odin and downloading firmwares from sammobile or other sites? Come on...
