Increase Your Android Phones Internal Memory

Infolinks

Android phones that come with low internal storage can be very frustrating to use, if you know what i mean. Imagine watching a very interesting video and having low memory notifications consistently. The good news is that link2sd app on android playstore can help you solve this issue.

This procedure only works on rooted phones. If your android is not rooted. We are going to partitin your sd card into two and use one part of your sd card as internal memory

  • Click here to root your android phone 
  • You will need to install mini tool partition wizard on your desktop
  • Put your memory card n a card reader and connect to your computer
  • Back up your sd card by copying the files on it to your computer.
  • Run mini tool partition wizard
  • Locate your sd card, right click and chose delete.







  • Right click on it again and select:" create new "on that drive letter
  • Select “Primary”.
  • If the size is less than 2GB, select file system FAT. If it’s more than 2GB, select FAT32.
  • Do not select the whole card as partition size. Turn the slider to the left and leave some space on “unallocated space”. This will be the second “EXT” partition on your SD card.
  • Now, choose the unallocated space again and select "Create New" and also choose " Primary".
  • Now, choose EXT2 file system. You can let the whole space take over in this step.


  • Now, click OK and then click the Apply button from the top left othe window. It might take some time for the operation to finish.

    Once done, restore the data to your SD card. On Windows, you will always get connected to the first partition of your SD card because Windows does not recognize the ext2 file system which is the second partition on your SD card for installing apps and games.

    On Linux, though, make sure to restore your data to the drive that is significantly larger. Because your second partition is always the smaller one and you don’t want to fill up your second partition with media files!
    At this point, you have just finished partitioning your SD card. Congratulations! Now you just need to configure Link2SD to connect to this second partition and link apps and games

    CONFIGURING  LINK2SD
    Now is the time to download and install Link2SD application from Google Play Store on your Android phone. Once installed, run the application. You may see a screen asking for Superuser Permission (root permissionthe first time you run it. Make sure to select “Remember” and press Allow/Grant.
    Note that if you don’t see this prompt, your phone is probably not rooted. In that case, you have to  root your phone! Without root permission, this will not work.

    On successful launch after gaining root permission. Link2SD will ask you to select the file system of your second permission. set as ext2

    Press ok and your device will be rastarted

    After restarting, open Link2SD again and a dialogue will show up. Press OK and click the icon you see on the screenshot below. Choose On Internal. This will show up a list of apps and games installeon the internal storage of your phone 
    Now select options and choose multi-select. Then press the select all button. All of these apps will be selected 
    Now, click Actions and then choose Create link.
    Click all three boxes and touch ok

    Link2SD will now take a little time to move all these apps and games (except system files) and create a link with them from the second partition of your SD card. Touch OK when done - 

    Almost done! Now, to make sure that every time you download something, it gets auto-linked to the second partition, do the following:
    Go to settings from the Menu. and click auto link
