4GB is not enough. not nearly enough. you update all your apps and its all used up! I cant install all the essential google apps let alone the apps i use on a daily basis, all of which require more storage. I have an SD but it wont put all the essentials on it like Sheets, Docs, Wallet, etc. How can i get the phone to treat SD as internal storage?

Root then partition your sdcard to have the second partition use ext4 I used aparted from the play store to do this then link2sd becomes your best friend

How to Use External SD as Internal Storage
If you bought your phone in the United States use 32-bit, if you bought it in Europe/Australia use 64-bit (I did see a post that said the 510s sold in Russia are 32-bit)
Make a backup of everything on your sd card as this will wipe it
Flash either RhInStOnE-A11 or Modded Desire 510 Kernel v2.6.1
Use Aparted to Delete the sdcard
Use Aparted to Create a FAT32 partition (whatever size you want) to put external files on
Use Aparted to Create a ext4 partition (whatever size you want) to put linked apps on
Use Link2SD to link your apps and free up space on internal storage
Here are two simple videos that show how to use Aparted and Link2SD: Aparted and Link2SD
I am currently using one 32GB FAT32 partition and one 32GB ext4 partition with Link2SD and it is working great

I have a 64gig card and found that it worked well with 10gig formatted as ext4 and the rest as fat. I used Mini Partition Wizard and followed the instructions on the link2sd website. My device is 64bit.
I really like MiniTool Partition Wizard. It has a great interface. I did run into a problem with it, though. I was able to create a FAT32 and an ext4 partition. I was able to format the FAT32 partition, but there was no option to format the ext4 partition. After I created the partitions my phone said the sd card was damaged. I used Aparted to format both partitions and it worked perfect.
I can confirm that this works. I thought the phone wouldn't recognize more than 32GB on a FAT32 partition.

[The reasoning behind using this kernel is because 64GB sd cards use exFAT and this is one of the only kernels that supports it.]

This would be the quickest way to find out for sure. You're Cricket, so it's GSM, and from what I've heard the GSM is 64. But to make sure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57991187&postcount=12
Could you pm me with your solution off you happen to find one?
What is the purpose of making two partitions? A FAT32 and an EXT4?
I take it the ext4 is for the apps, so why even have a fat32?

Give us a few days. Rbheromax is working on it. I'm already running all internal from external. 12GB free space.

You probably don't need the FAT32, but I like it to interact with Windows. I don't think Windows can read ext4. I don't know how else I would drag/drop music and other files to my phone without it.
Honestly, In my opinion you won't need the FAT32 partition. I'm running my whole sdcard (which is f2fs) as internal /data and everything still works with USB. Windows won't read f2fs/ext4 if you insert the sdcard directly into the computer.
I'm very interested in this topic, and can't wait for it to come out!
I can't get AParted to work properly. It keeps stopping in the middle of creating the 2 partitions on my 128GB SD Card. Little help?
Hello,
Did you Unmount and Delete the card first or did you just try to Create a partition?
