SD card damage, from 2gb --> 500mb.. does anyone know how to fix it? ive used AParted in partitioning.

download minitool partition wizard for windows

use it to delete any partitions on your sd card
create a new partition of fat32
then once it created and you want to use it in your phone just reformat it on your phone from your phone settings/storage (need to press unmount sd card first)

if your sd card is still in working order it will work

note doing this will delete any data you have on your sd card

You must Link apps to your second partion.

you cant if the apps manifest is set to install on internal

what app would be 100mb anyway other than a game that probably wouldnt run on galaxy y anyway

well you can look at the manifest - you will need to resign the app if you change it

also the game must be for armv6 and android 2.3.6 or below unless you are running cm9 then 4.04 or below (but cm9 currently has no audio and I dont know if games run on it) - it wont install at all if the game is for amv7 only

and a game of 100mb is probably hd or armv7 only so even if you do get it installed the chance of it running smoothly on a galxy y 5360 is slim

At first it installs in internal memory,then only link2sd links it To second partion,even though you ticked Auto-link.

you mistake physical internel storage with virtual internal storage

just becase you have a 2nd sd card partition of xyz doesnt mean your internal storage increases - it doesnt - it stays exactly the same - this is physical storage - it never changes

what you are doing is creating virtual internal storage on your sd card - apps installed here act like they are on physical internal storage

you still need a large ammount of physical internel storage to install the app before it is moved/linked to virtual storage plus data is still stored on physical storage

thanks for that info, now i know that i cant install it.. sad..

but is it possible to increase internal memory? i checked my friends phone again and it really is 2.20GB internal memory

SG mini pocket..

Like what marcussmith said, it is virtual storage. Once he removes the SD card, the internal storage will return to its actual value.

If you REALLY want to increase internal storage legitimately, you will need to break the phone apart and replace the storage devices within. It would be better to buy a new phone than go through all the fuss just to increase physical legit storage and also the cost of buying the new storage might be enough to buy another phone...

And also you must find a storage device that fits into the casing of the phone. Wouldn't it be awkward using a phone with the chipsets bulging out of the phone casing?
