I finally upgraded to android, i got the cheapest phone possible(kyocera milano) which seems to be a mistake. The phone has only about 300mb internal storage and can barely handle its own updates(because of the limited storage). so i would like to know if its possible to make the phone "think" that some of the sd card is part of its internal memory? I found an adb driver for it(dont ask me where or which one because i had no idea and started messing with one until it worked) i have not tried rooting but can if i need to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Try the guide below. Of course you will need to root your device but this worked for me.

Thanks, I will try that later!!
Is it at all possible to make the sd card appear as part of the internal memory? If not i can deal with it but...it would be nice
Thanks!!
Couldn't find a way to do that myself. I'm still looking but if you find it first lemme know.

I remember seeing a thread some time back on safe apps to remove. Can't remember which one but run a search and you should find it.

Download astro file manager. After install open application and click file manager. Then hit ur phones menu button and choose preference. Scroll to bottom till u see enable browser download and check it. U can then exit application. Should work now. That's how I fixed issue on my photon.

You aren't using a computer at all to snag ROM's and such?
Hello everyone, first post since joining. I have a 16GB SD CARD which was partitioned for use in my previous phone (HUAWEI ASCEND running CM7.2 which had DT'S A2SD incorporated into the ROM, partition size of 1GB & 32 swap).
My question is this :
As I am still stock & un-rooted,is their any added benefit to leaving the partitioning in place or should I delete the partition. THX!
BTW, I've had the phone for only a week & still getting acclimated w/it, will probably root sometime later, very pleased w/the overall performance @ this point.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I don't see a reason to keeping it as CM7 for a different device won't work on the Photon. But that's just me. So it's basically a partition of information that is not usable.
I was not near a comp at the moment but wanted to download something for later use. I usually use my laptop. But that method worked so thanks for the help. Medic

So the moto devices put the external SD card under mnt/sdcard-ext as everyone here knows. I'm wondering if there is any method to:
1. Have apps like rhapsody use the external card for downloading music
2. Remap using external for things like Gameloft games data
I am rooted and I've been looking at solutions - alsso know that non stock will allow for changing mount points completely, but not quite there yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

cool. Did some Googling and see what it is. Can you point me in the right direction for the photon? If its someplace here I'll search around for it (just say so and I'll drop it). Its late and this after dealing with my two year old and 12 week old today - a bit out of it.

Switch the vold.fstab around.

OK. I see what to do to swap. Rather then swapping it, is there a "better" mount point for the external so that programs like rhapsody would use it properly? I assume using a bind command from shell would be enough to get the Gameloft games moved.... right? Or do most people simply swap internal with external?
Thanks.

I'm curious too, been wondering this for a while but never thought to ask on here.
Is there a step by step guide for doing this or is it going to be too complicated for someone not familiar with coding.? I would love to accomplish this.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
vold.fstab is located in the system/etc folder. You must be rooted to see it. You can change where the mount point is for the external SD card. How to do it is pretty straightforward based on reading the file and Googling. My question is specific to how 'mother's devices deal with the external card and how software like amazon mp3, rhapsody, etc store data to the external SD and how remapping the external SD on the photon would best allow those apps to use the microSD successfully.

Well that would be something the app developers would have to do. The vold.fstab trick is to trick everything in to thinking their switched. Not really a permanent solution. Try contacting the app devs and give as much info as possible including mount points

Lol question is was she actually talking about sdcards lol jk
To get slightly back on topic , I was wondering if someone could spell out exactly how to do aa 'junction' (this would be the windows term for it) where you have an invisible link for the OS to follow from one place to the next. So instead of modifing the root files,instead running an app that manages it or a script at boot that would allow it. Again - on stock firmware if that matters.

Google say it can be done but phone since they using Exfat it means Samsung have to put some more effort into making it work, but Samsung decided they not gonna bother even though they have on other phones it is completely Samsung's fault.

That is not totally correct.Google stopped the external SD support and Samsung tried a workaround and can be done.
exfat is a supported conversion on our phone but not standard.
U can flash this to be able to move apps to SD. But u need to convert it to fat32
I was actually looking for a solution too. But its sad that I need to use fat32. I prefer ExFAT so that I can store high def movies on my External SD card. Hope theres a solution for those who use the ExFAT file system soon.
U r Big m8, i did what u said, just flashed the mod and now my memory card is showing as sd,not extsd, im very happy guy right now! Thanks for answer everybody!!!

Hello,
I been reading a lot in the forum, on the internet and I cant find the solution, when I realize I have a real problem, was when I finally install the ICS 4.0.4 and it says Encryption Unsuccsessful, son then I could see thats there no more Internal 16 gb memory and the 2gb memory, was gone too.
It seems to be an issue from Samsung but I came here to find solutions, maybe we can work together to have a fix or at least, a solution to make it work again.
I just could run 2.3.7 but I cant install anything, just phone.
Well, thanks and im very disappointed at Samsung for this.
Thanks for reading!

thanks,, It doesnt work I have to add it manually and edit directly the file, I see you are using a Vibrant too,, it was very weird lose the internal SD, I installed ICS but it was sooooooo, slow,, so Im using 2.3.7 and it feels quite normal, but I really would like to get my phone the way it used to be, I was using 4.2.1.

Hey guys!
I'm starting a new thread because I been wondering if any Xda developers have found a solution for the new update jellybean 4.3. I been searching day and night to see if any one as successfully found a solution for this product problem. If anyone knows any method on unlocking the bootloader will be helpful. I seen Adam and he's XDA teams been working on some projects but I'm not sure if it's for the I605 ver. 4.3 note2.
you can pay 75 dollars to mobiletech for them to downgrade it for you. The remove the emmc chip and reflash it.... I might be testing a method soon but it seems kinda risky. You have to short a small resistor.
Can you elaborate on the resistor part?

roflcoptersoisoi- just an idea.... do you think it might work if you put your sd card in another phone and then hook that phone into your computer to connect it as a usb mass storage device? Maybe that would let you access the external sd card through the computer and use win32diskimager to write the image to the external sd card.

So win32diskimager would not recognize the sd card when you had the phone connected your computer? Darn. I was hoping that might work. Oh well, at least it was worth a try. I hope you figure something else out. Sounds like you might have to just go buy a cheap SD adapter.... or take Jorden up on the offer .

I would be happy flashing TW ROMs. Are you at the point where you can share what you have, or need someone to try it out?
Your bootloader is locked but there is a work around on xda where you can run your rom virtually and still keep stock rom just be careful about how you do this because you might brick your phone
