I could've sworn there was a 16gb image somewhere in this thread... Am I wrong?

Fixing to buy a class 10 16gb card at a drug store for 15 bucks and do this all over again and use my existing 32gb as a normal sd card on the phone.

Tell us how it goes. . . . And how to do it,i want to do the same tm

[Streak 5 General] DorkyDev:
I've done it once already before what's my 32gb microsd
[Streak 5 General] mokokawi:
Ok. . . . Ill try it

posted from my Pimped out Dell
[Streak 5 General] DorkyDev:
Hrmm gunna be another day before I do it, found out radio shack has a class 10 32gb microsd for 28 bucks...

That'll be easier for me kinda, I can just make an image of the inner microsd and restore it, since my inner microsd is already a 32gb it's just a class 4 one.

Ohh yea go back to page 19 to see how I did it.
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
the image provided is not 16gb image rather it is a reset image for corrupted sdcard...

so, there is no 16gb image here...

just use the image created from the internal, expand it properly and you should have working 16 or more gb internal sd :D
[Streak 5 General] DorkyDev:
Yea I found it again.

[MENTION=4422993]deysmacro[/MENTION]

What should the .sh file name should I give?

By following the above instruction, that will give excess to all the content of the innerSD, correct?

So, if I only want to see a partition, then I have to create a partition in innerSD and modify the mount script that point to that same partition name?

:silly:
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
any name is ok.

actually you dont need to create any extra partition, you actually just reuse the /data partition for the innersd

just create a folder inside /data and then mount it at /sdcard/anyfoldername

mounting directly /data is not a good idea, so, just do of what i have suggested...
[Streak 5 General] Razak RK:
Ok. I will try it. Thank you.

Sent from my Dell Streak 5 running Mokee OS
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
the solution that i got is by swapping it... so that it detects the internal sd as external and external as internal... but since it has only one line inside vold.fstab... no idea how to do it or add additional line...
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
I assume it would be something along the lines of

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard[COLOR="Red"]/sdcard2[/COLOR] auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

With all the associated folders created at bootup in the ramdisk scripts.

I actually think I'm going to take apart my S5 and swap in a larger sdcard soon, we'll see how feasable it is then.
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
i see.. will be waiting then.. hopefully fruits would appear here :good:
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
If I'm able to do the following sucessfully, I'll write a guide:

Add 2 additional partitions

Move /system over to using the innerSD

Create a seperate /sdcard and /sdcard2 (it's far easier doing it this way unless you have MTP)

Make it boot off the innerSD

Assuming it works out, I gotta figure out how to repartition the innerSD, I'm either going to use a 8 or 16 gb card.

I'm thinking:

/cache: 512mb <up from 244mb>

/data: 4096mb <up from 1691mb>

/system: 512mb <up from 260mb>

/sdcard: <whatever is left>

If users follow it in exactly that manner AND order, I can make a ext4 mod + support large innerSDs with a single version of CWM.

The size of /sdcard isnt important, it's the size of /cache, /data, and /system that matter (and the order of everything)

I expect /sdcard should be doable regardless, but I have no idea how easy/difficult /system will be.

They will definitely require roms to be modified to support them, and I dont intend to actually maintain any rom mods, I might do a single rom and make a guide for users to modify their roms.

I want to completely drop /firstboot, but dsc is still based on stock 407 and any rom based on that simply requires it to function.

Any source based rom does not use /firstboot at all. (it might be possible to move /firstboot over too, but I have no intention of supporting it, I'm not interested in dsc)
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
nice... i hope we can see results ... what you suggested is pretty much likely to happen if we do it like that :D
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Just confirm class 4. 16gb. Will not work for internal storage? ??

TheMani:

Can this help ?

http://www.modaco.com/topic/339876-how-to-increase-streak-storage-up-to-62-gb/

as the guy managed to use the left out space for personal use (correct me if m wrong) will ya have a look
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
From what I'm reading, he's doing it the reverse as far as mounting the last partition (see above)

He's making the remaining space into /intsd and mounting it to /sdcard/intsd, which is a rather bad sounding idea, using /sdcard (like on HC or higher) is done so apps will save whatever they normally do to the sdcard to the new partition.
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
something even more interesting... :D

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
It's not terribly surprising that the S5 can take 64gb microSDXCs, but it shows the main problem with us not having MTP support: you have to choose a balance between /data and /sdcard. With MTP you can just have a huge /data and symlink /sdcard to it.
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
As i have ordered my class 10 16gb card and will get in few hours

just to confirm:

for replacing , just copying old data to the new card is ok ?

can u point me to any particular guide as there are many i see but confusing which one works. pls any 1 particular ?

btw, for partitions MiniTool Partition Wizard will work ?
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
if we have to choose a balance between both.. as long as it would show 2 volume when we connect usb.. it is good enough for the time being ... at least we can make it work so that we can use the internal sd and media also can be detected... right now it just dont...

and speaking of symlink.. i even tried that... i purposely make the external sd become ext3 and create symlink so that it would go to the /data dir but it seems it would not show up as shortcut (as i expected lol ) when using the usb (using dual-mount not native usb) :D

by the way.. it seems custom recovery doesnt support other than fat32 for the external sd...
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Pls anyone guide :(
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
updated the second post for windows user :D
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
:laugh:Nice guide and nice snack time touches in between.

one question:

after all things done as per your guide we will have a kind of copy of the stock sdcard i mean just like it looks now (stock one). what if i want to have a folder on say /data - i have to make it manually ? & if i want to have songs on it -i have to transfer them via adb of via external sdcard ??

edit- i meant if i make extra partition with say name "blahblah" will it be shown on streak ?
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
thank you :)

and yes.. it is a complete copy of the stock one... that is why it should work straight out...

most of the question is answered already at possible faq (on the second post just below the guide) but i will answer this as well..

you can make additional folder inside /data

no problem there... however do note that any file transfered inside will be ignored for identification such as media ... it is because streak only recognized file that reside in external sd...

you can transfer file using wifi file browser or root explorer .. external to /data or vice versa... from and to... no problem there...

extra partition will not be recognized because there is no mount point for it... we need to hack the boot.img so that it will recognized the extra partition...

that is what TheManii trying to achieve in similar fashion... hopefully he will manage to get something out of it :D
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Just an update:

took my streak apart. backing stock sd.

will try 16gb class 4 till the class10 arrives :)
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
class 4 will took long time to complete... have some dinner while doing it :D
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
****.........

u mean my stock 2gb took abut 20-30 minutes on my old memory card reader so that way this 16gb will be done till abut midnight .. as its 8.11 here :eek::eek:

my class10 arrival is delayed till monday. & my streak is laying opened. so dont want end up my work with putting in stock one .

and btw, the formating needs to be ext3 ???
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
forgot to say it depends on the image size.. so 2gb mean 2gb transfers .. 30 minutes plus minus...

when you do the restore, it will do all the formatting correctly... you dont need to pre-format your 16gb card...
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Ok so now I'm more seriously interested in doing a large-innerSD upgrade.

One user has finally hit the limit of /system and ran out of room.

A full weight (hypothetical) ICS/JB rom for our device (ie including Gapps+facelock+GNow) would weigh on the order of 280-300mb, and /system is only 260mb.

This is already a slim rom, if it were to have all the bundleware like in a stock rom, it would weigh on the order of 4-500mb.

For reference:

360 weighs about 280mb with everything included. The slimmed down version weighs ~160mb after removing all bundleware.

SPro/087 (which is a GB rom) weighs 350mb with everything, and ~1/2 of that is bundleware.

S7/514 (which is a HC rom) weighs 250mb with everything, and ~175mb after removing all bundleware.

Essentially, dell could make a stock 6xx rom, but they would never be able to physically fit a JB rom onto the S5 without removing features/bundleware.

Ok managed to get the old image restore on 16gb card and booted my laptop with gparted cd and when I get to step where you say the sd will be shown as sda1 in my case my card shows as sdb1.

And named as unknown also no other partition like sda5. Sda6 are there only one that's unknown and when right click it the move/resize options is unclickable.

Any help here please
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
since our streak pretty much ok with big internal sd... how bout we make it standard for 8GB card min?

so we can make /system and /cache at least 1GB for both... /data 2GB and the rest for the sd storage...

if it is still not enough.. we just make it 16GB card standard then :D
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
attached file is to fix the card back.. when clicking restore, use the attached file here and after that you restore streakinternal.img

basically you are doing two times of restore...

one using the attached file below ...

and another one using your own streakinternal.img

that should fix the problem and now do the gparted session again... it should show properly this time.. :good:
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
I think my memory card died as it cant be read by pc and if i insert in streak external memory slot it says safe to remove memory and if i format it from there nothing happens.

btw, i suceeded in changing the internal sd with 16 gb class4........working now free space 13.84gb thanks

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

btw, is there any way to get the side panel stick again incase the tape goes bad and the panel goes loose to stick(i mean dont sticks properly) ??
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
:silly: My External Sdcard is getting supper hott !!.

I dont know y, the battery temperature is ok . Only the area (external sdcard and near by) are getting supper hot

any idea?
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
try again using the restore and restore using the attached image... after that... unplugged and replug back.. right click on it.. and click format... format it to fat32 and untick quick format... if it is still cant be recognized after you done that.. maybe it is died already...

for the side panel.. you can put cellotape there.. but i never had that kind of problem...
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
how bout trying with other card and see if it happen again? also try putting stock for the internal sd and see if it become hot or not.. i am not having any kind of those problem... using longhorn 2.9.3 by the way...
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
i dont undrstand how to do it when the computer dont see my memory card. not clonezilla nor gparted. !

btw, after changing the second one to my internal, device booted and everything was fine. then forceclose started. i did a factory reset from main recovery, data wipe from sm recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache. and when the device booted the system memory is shown as 50mb and the internal space left is shown as 84mb .......whereas it was 13gb when card replced .

?? any idea
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
it seems like your card is pretty much dead already...

now.. for the internal sd case...

do like this.. put the stock card into the internal sd... flash longhorn 2.9.3... do wipe data , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache , fix permission, dell factory reset..

let it boot until the screen turn off.. reboot again .. until the screen turn off... shutdown the phone...

now.. repeat the process in second post...

it should work now...

remember.. the guide is specific.. so windows users follow the guide for windows.. linux users follow the guide for linux... dont mix it up...

but if it is still dont work like it should... you can stop doing it already... no need to go further... you just have no luck in doing it successfully :p
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Do I need to factory reset again after setting up back the 16gb reimaged card??

--

Update. Tried your instructions just used lxdroid instead of longhorn

I think I explained somewhat confusing last time

At first everything is fine. But when I flash something or do a factory reset later sometime. Then the size mess up (as on dsc. The Rom was messing like force closes that's why needed factory reset) anyhow. Everything till now is fine and also used new card instead of old one. Will report back if something happens.

Want to say thanks for your frequent replies and helps.

Btw

One more question

How can I get that internal 16gb card back for use as the window only sees 200mb rest partitions are invisible
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
i think since dsc is 2.3.3 , it might have problem.. that is why i suggest gb 2.3.7... such as longhorn...

windows always detect the first available partition.. the rest is not detected.. it is how windows works... so you have to bear with it...
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Time to stuff streak with apps
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
by the way... if you want your old 16gb card back to its full size.. not 200mb .. it can be done... :cool:

first.. restore using the attached file that i provide earlier.. unplugged the card.. plug it back.. then windows should ask you either you want to format it or not...

click format... select fat32 for format type.. untick quick format (if it is ticked)... and then click start...

you card should be back to its full size by the time the format is complete then :D
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Restore using that usb. Image tool (which provided in second post) ?

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

Btw. Can we re size ram. As still there is around 230mb free under running tab in settings
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
yes.. use that tool...

anyway... resize ram? lol.. if we can do that.. we wouldnt be having ram management issues you know and android users would skyrocketed :D
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
:D yup,

so, i understood the reason behind innercard swap wrongly. lol i thought it would increase all partitions size........... now, understood its only to use the rest of space as personal like tos store extra stuff (like 2 sd's) !!!

still i am loving my streak now. also managed to get the similar double sided tape locally to get the side panels back sticky as top side panel was starting to loose glue

hope Themani manage to dowhat he's planning to .....................

and one curiosity - if Themani managed to do it successfully...............will it require unassembling the streak again and getting the card out to get the thing done ?

--

in ur signatures i see " 16GB Internal SD ext4fs "

whats ext4fs? just like ext3 formating sdcard ? and whats benefit
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
bigger card enable us to have bigger internal sd... so.. yes.. we could have bigger partitions for all partition related to it.. and if there are more space left, we could use it for storage... and if possible make streak detect media file too...

--

it depends on TheManii.. he can provide automation with script or we could just reformat it manually (yes, getting the card out from the streak)..

--

ext4fs makes your phone a bit faster because the file system is newer and more efficient.. which suggested by TheManii.. the problem here is that nandroid backup is no longer possible.. which why i persuaded TheManii so that CWM 6 supports it... and while he at it, he also suggest that we could repartition so that /data /cache /system bigger and more stuff can be put inside... so hopefully we could have some results from it :)

p/s: you can also format both sda5 and sda6 to ext4 if you like.. but nandroid backup is no longer possible if you do that..
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
can this help us on the partition resize matter

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270589

[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
i believe that is something similar TheManii trying to achieve...
[Streak 5 General] draculeo:
Deysmacro, have you ever tried with this: Extended internal memory of Dell Streak 5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364080 http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=en-GB&client=mv-google&v=6w4AbtIGp8A&nomobile=1

I think we will have more internal memory, I/O will be faster if we change high class of sd card and have usb storage, too :good:

and TheManii said "The other partition is the /cache partition, increasing it wont do anything. Using a faster card could increase read speeds, but increasing size wont do anything beyond having more space, unless you start using compcache or something to increase available ram, and that doesnt involve the sd" :D
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
lol.. i you see the third pic on the first post.. you should know already... i have done that.. i even have /cache partition becomes 3gb (talk bout size :D ) but not much help from it... it is even on ext4fs ... and i am using class 10 card... so what you are trying to suggest already done long ago ... yes... but somehow i think the phone is a bit faster and more responsive right now... :p

TheManii is trying to make something out of it so that we can utilizes big card for internal sd much more effectively and efficiently.. :)
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Will you suggest ics except the fact camera will not work! ?
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
if you mean so that it will work on ics too.. yes.. TheManii also tries to achieve that...
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
For now can I flash ics??
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
you can try.. do nandroid backup first...
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Managed to get my S5 opened up, going to sacrifice a 16gb card for the upgrade.

We'll see soon enough what happens.

One note: some of it is becoming rumor. Most I plan on doing (assuming it's actually possible and everything works out) is make a guide for prepping your sdcard and linking the iFixit disassembly guide.

Software wise I only plan on making a version of CWM for large-innerSDs and a proof-of-concept mod for 407 for rom makers to copy. I have no idea which rom makers (if any) are willing to make a rom version to support this. It shouldnt be a difficult mod though. I have no idea if it'll work without changes to ICS, ICS is the best candidate for this, but without MTP it's not really the right way to do it.

Edit: I think it's working:

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
At this point I'm going to make it work on ICS and hope I can backport it afterwards.

407 simply does not like ext4 as it has rather serious issues with changing the mount scripts.

I'm going to hack paranoidandroid for the time being as it mounts as ext4 anyway.

I'll prob need some amount of assistance afterwards to get it to work on GB roms.

I can say that moving /system to innerSD0p7 seems to be pretty easy, not much luck getting innerSD0p8 to work as /sdcard, yet.
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
as i thought.. yeah.. i get this feeling that gb is not that friendly for hacking something ... tho you might want to try gb 2.3.7 ..

using paranaoidandroid is a good move since that rom is really nice ics we could have... either way... hope something positive we can hear from this :D
