Internal storages Swap. HOW ? topic

Hi,
i have two identical NC devices [ from the outside], but
here are the difference in the inside:

#first:
- internal storage for the apps that can't be unmounted have 0.9GB
- internal storage for the user data that can be unmounter/remounted have 5GB

#second:
- internal storage for the apps that can't be unmounted have 4.9GB
- internal storage for the user data that can be unmounter/remounted have 1GB

and i want to change #second NC internal storage to look/work as onthe #first

i read and tried this:

- changing from this
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,noemulatedsd
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:8,nonremovable

to this:
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto
/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:8

Also fstab.encore are identical on both devices.

but does not helped.

Can anyone help with this or point to the right dirrection ?

Thanks

[Q] Reset to Factory Erased Everything, How to Recover Files on Internal Storage topic

Guys, I do apologize if I created this thread on an inappropriate way. I'm desperate. I Updated my HTC One to Android 5.0.2 through OTA. As it's recommended, I did a Factory Data Reset. NOW EVERYTHING IS LOST, MY PHOTOS,MY CONTACTS AND SMS BACKUPS, EVERYTHING. I did Factory Data Reset Before, But It Never Erased those files. I Don't know whether its because of Android 5 or not. BUT PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME TO RESTORE THOSE DELETED FILES, I'd be MOST GRATEFUL. I DO APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. MY PHONE IS NOT ROOTED and it's Completely STOCK. I Tried Several Recovery Apps, However as HTC one only has Internal Storage, the File System is not known, therefore, None of them Detected it.
ONCE AGAIN, THANKS IN ADVANCE TO THOSE WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS, IT'S TRUELY VERY VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO RETRIEVE THOSE LOST DATA. THANKS GUYS ...

Internal Storage showing blank in file explore apps on Lollipop topic

Has anyone else been receiving this plague? I keep rolling back to custom 4.4.4 sense lollipop has been buggy. I flashed stock lollipop firmware and ran the RUU and was successful, but has had it's issues. Had "Sense TV" has stopped working unexpectedly and the VVM not updating and just closing, had everything working including storage, just to take a crap on me just doing a simple reboot. The couple times i had TV app working, i had internal storage showing more than DCIM and MEDIA, but it ends up crashing on reboots, or on fresh flashing with device wiped

Apps Cannot Access Internal Memory after TWRP Recover topic

Background:
Trying out ROMs here and there, making backups along the way in TWRP. Turn out I had my favorite ROM from the start, so clean all the slates and performed a restore to Hybrid X Series 1.07. Everything is as it was...almost.
Apps are complaining about not being able to download to internal memory, there not being enough space, etc (there's plenty). Switching the download directory of these apps to the extSdCard is my current workaround.

What I've tried:
Fix Permissions from TWRP
Repair partition /data from TWRP using e2fsck
recursive busybox chown to 1001 on /data/media
restorecon on /data/media/0
This Fix Script Also found a similar flashable ZIP which did the same thing, but to no avail

None of these seem to have any effect. Also, trying to change permissions from Root Browser works on /sdcard, but not on any subfolders. Error returned is "Changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes."

Any thoughts

[Q] How to use sd card for internal storage topic

Hi, I have rooted Blu Dash 4.5 with a custom rom that uses the sd card as internal memory.I have a 16 gb card installed and it works great. I was wondering if anyone has written a custom rom for the Moto G 2nd gen that has this option.And if so what is it called?

Problem with internal and USB storage topic

Hi, I'm using a n7000 Slimkat 4.4.4 rom, with slim kernel 3.0.80+ autobuild.
Previously I used link2sd to create a partition on my SD card to get more space on my internal, and after a while I realised my USB storage is being recognised as an SD card. I tried a full wipe and reinstalled my rom but now even the internal storage is messed up. Not even the reformat works anymore
It's too complicated to explain in words so here are the screenshots. So how f**ked am I and how do I salvage this?
Each time I link files into the card (700mb size, it worked previously) it freezes the whole phone

From the storage option I can see this:
1. Internal storage 2GB (normal, nothing wrong with it)
2. Internal storage 11GB (this should be USB storage, and it has a erase SD card option at the end but space)
3. SD card 2GB (It was 4GB but I used link2sd to create an internal partition. MTP and mass storage is not detected but using card reader it is fine)
4. USB storage (there is only a mount and erase SD card option which is greyed out/unclickable and does not has any space indicator)

Browser (stock, Chrome, facebook internal browser) crashing topic

Sometimes when I'm browsing ( using Chrome but not necessarily, sometimes when reading an article with Facebook internal browser ) it simply crash without any message, just return to home screen. When I check the used ram is at 450-500-550, signs of an automatically ram clear ( I'm not using any free ram tool ). Seems that the system simply end apps due low ram I suppose but shouldn't start with background apps? Why it clear my foreground application? What do you know about this?

Strangely as it happens lately before I didn't had any similar issues, it doesn't matter how many tabs I had opened in Chrome, never but never crashed. This happens also with the stock Browser so the problem could be the system actually, not an app.

I'm on Stock from sammobile

Disable Internal Antenna Permanently topic

I want to permanently disable my Samsung Galaxy S4's internal antenna. I know doing this seems a bit unorthodox but I have my reasons why I want to do so. I will be connecting an external antenna via the L1 port using a patch lead cable. No I don't want to use the internal antenna ever so I'm wondering how it can be disconnected; I don't want any responses asking me why I want this to be done I just want possible solutions. I was wondering if I could open the phone and somewhat remove the antenna or mess with the antenna contacts so it could stop working I'm not sure though so I need either a hardware or software solution.

ZV8 internal sd card issues topic

I don't know if this is sd card issue or what but many of the apps are not able to write data on phone. For e.g. whatsapp not able to download media, swiftkey not able to download language pack, chrome not able to download.
I flashed zv4 tot to restore all the partitions but still no luck.
This is only happening on ZV8 and not on ZV6 and ZV4.

How to increase internal memory when modding rom topic

Hey guys, I'm new to Android Rom development.

So I found this phone which only has 42MB internal and can't install any apps. So I want to mess with the stock Rom to free up some space. Do I delete some system apps and bloat which comes with the phone? :confused: Or do I do something else?

Also, adding build.prop tweaks, do I just add the values in the build.prop? Or is there any kind of safety measure I need to take? :rolleyes:

The phone is a Chinese MTK device. Help would be appreciated. :o

[Q]Re-partition internal memory and increase /userdata topic

Hi guys !

I've made some research about the partition sheme of the GT-I9195 and here's what I found :

Quote:

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 15269888 sectors, 3360M Logical sector size: 512 Disk identifier (GUID): 98101b32-bbe2-4bf2-a06e-2bb33d000c20 Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 15269854 Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 8192 131071 60.0M 0700 modem 2 131072 131327 128K 0700 sbl1 3 131328 131839 256K 0700 sbl2 4 131840 132863 512K 0700 sbl3 5 132864 136959 2048K 0700 aboot 6 136960 137983 512K 0700 rpm 7 137984 139007 512K 0700 tz 8 139008 164607 12.5M 0700 pad 9 164608 180991 8192K 0700 param 10 180992 208895 13.6M 0700 efs 11 208896 215039 3072K 0700 modemst1 12 215040 221183 3072K 0700 modemst2 13 221184 241663 10.0M 0700 boot 14 241664 262143 10.0M 0700 recovery 15 262144 282623 10.0M 0700 fota 16 282624 296943 7160K 0700 backup 17 296944 303087 3072K 0700 fsg 18 303088 303103 8192 0700 ssd 19 303104 319487 8192K 0700 persist 20 319488 344063 12.0M 0700 persdata 21 344064 3416063 1500M 0700 system 22 3416064 3825663 200M 0700 cache 23 3825664 3899391 36.0M 0700 hidden 24 3899392 15269854 5551M 0700 userdata

What's interesting is the size of /system : 1500Mo !!! That's really big when you know that CM11+Gapps take approximatively 500Mo of /system space. There also some other parition un-used for custom rom's users (/hidden which contains sammy dummy file or /fota which is for over the air update for official rom). So don't you think there should be a way to delete some partition so that we can gain in space for /userdata ? I'm asking because i know it was possible for my old phone (Galaxy ace 2) and I think it would be pretty nice to gain 1Gb of space for daily usage.

[Guide] How To Free Up Internal Storage On Moto E After Lollipop Update topic

Just that i was wondering why i'm having only 200-300 mbs free after installing lollipop? This made me explore and i did some easy steps to free up 600 mbs of cache.

STEPS

• Go to settings
  Go to storage
  Click on Cached Data
  Click on Ok.

Please let me know if it worked or not? I'm not sure. I guess clearing that cache deleted the temporary lollipop update file and frees up some space. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Internal storage issue topic

Apologies if this could of been posted elsewhere but anyway.. I have a weird issue with my galaxy s4. I've been on stock, echoe ROM, and now cm12 and all have the same strange issue. According to disk usage a directory called system data is using over 3.5gb of internal storage. This wouldn't be a problem if it stayed that way, however every few hours my remaining 3gb internal that I have left after installing all my apps, goes down and down and eventually I get a "system storage low" message. Even overnight when the phone isn't even in use. Could anyone shed light as to what's eating my storage?

[Q] Bounty($50) Need Photos/videos off of Internal Mem - Soft Bricked Galaxy S3 topic

Help, I have irreplaceable photos and videos of my 1 year old son (including his first steps) on the internal mem data partition, don't want to lose them.

I unfortunately soft bricked my Galaxy S3 (Sprint) after forgetting it was rooted and hitting yes to an android update... stupid on my part. It currently sticks on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot logo and yes I can enter into odin mode & recovery mode.

Is there a way to ssh into the phone or mount the internal data so I can copy off the media? Or unbrick it while still preserving my photo/video data? I'm very well versed in terminal / linux and I also have both OS X and Windows 7.

If someone can actually solve this, I have no issues giving you through PayPal as a thank you.

Other Details

• Model: SPH-I710


• CF-Auto-Root is probably what I used before to root (90% sure)

Not sure what version of Android it was attempting to upgrade to, I'm assuming it was Lollipop (or whatever is the latest for GS3 on Sprint).
