As anybody who owns a wildfire S , you notice a low internal storage , but now , i learned how to make up much much more internal storage !! All thanks to jikantaru ! Lets cut through to the requirements !
Requirements :
1. A rom with a2sd or apps2sd (ex: Jikantaru rom , Wildfire S Cracker)
2. Link2SD
3. CWM recovery
4. Android terminal emulator or adb .
5. Permanent Rooted Phone , which means unlocked bootloader or s-off + root
Process :
1. Backup your SDcard and apps because everything on it might be erased
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Go to advanced
4. Partition SDcard ( choose anything , recommended 512 MB or higher )
5. Swap size any ( recommend 64 MB or higher )
6. Wait till it finishes , it will take a while .
7. reboot and open up Link2SD
8. It will ask you for SD second partition , choose ext3 . (if it didn't continue to the next steps of 9 )
9 a) **Do this only if step 8 wasn't prompted** Go to Link2sd's "more"
b) choose Recreate mount scripts
c) choose ext3
10. reboot the phone , it will take 2-5 mins , so don't remove the battery nor the SDcard .
11. after it boots , go to link2sd , then Storage info , you should see Sdcard 2nd partition mounted , this approves everything is alright
12. Here you have two choices to do , just do any of you want ( choice "a" is easier )
a) for ones with the terminal , type in "su" , then type in "a2sd cachesdreset"
b) for ones with adb , enable USB debugging then open a cmd , cd to the adb location , then type "adb shell" , then "su" , then "a2sd cachedreset" .
13 . Now the phone should reboot ( it would take 2-5 mins , don't touch battery or SDcard )
Additional : Now since you got a 2nd partition , you can link apps to this partition , by pressing any app or multiselect a group of apps and select the Create Link option (for multiselect , press Menu then Actions) , it might require you to quick reboot for every linked app but this will backup and free your internal memory and it is very useful for Large apps and games ! More over in link2sd setting there is an option to Autolink any newly installed app , so flick it !
Now by that you have finished the thing ! Go to sd and phone storage in settings , and you will notice the internal storage is now 108 MB , Now any app you install on phone memory you just go to link2sd and move it to sdcard , by this , the sdcard is acting as internal storage !!! Install any app you want ! Please Post your feedback !!!
NOTE : the original app2sd that comes with link2sd still takes from the internal storage a big part , so this tutorial will make a partition of the sdcard act as internal storage , which is totally amazing especially for the picky and annoying low Wildfire S internal storage. This was Jikantaru's tutorial originally but Jikantaru's needed more explanation especially for newbies , so i did the thing and it is totally working . BTW , I learn and explain in my way
Again all Thanks a lot for jikantaru !!
