General :: Sony Xperia Tipo - Merge Device Partitions
Aug 15, 2013
I have SONY XPERIA tipo with 803MB Internal Sotrage and 2.20 GB.
I have rooted the phone, and set external 32GB card as the default SD card (i.e. phone thinks its internal memory is 32GB) via changes in /etc/vold.fstab file.
The result is that phone regards the 2.20GB space as external memory.
I can move many applications to 32GB card, however some applications e.g. BusyBox, GCC Toolchain, and Chrome are not movable to Internal storage (32GB) or external storage (2.20GB).
Since the 2.20GB space is of no use for me, and it is mounted under the same device where "phone memory" 803 MB is mounted i.e. :
/dev/block/mmcblk0 = 3909 MB
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 = 524 MB
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 = 167 MB
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 = 803 MB
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 = 2311 MB
Surely, the last partition "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 = 2311 MB" is the free storage not being used, and "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 = 803 MB" is the phone memory, which I want to extend/increase.
My question is: Is it possible to merge the alst 2 partitions (e.g. by formatting 2.2GB space and then merging it with the 803MB space. This way my phone will have its system memory pretty large, and I will be able to install more applets through BusyBox as well as Chrome etc.

I had an encrypted I9100 on Cyanogenmod 9. After a factory reset I installed Cyanogemod 10.1. Everything runs smoothly, but about 12gb of my internal sd space was misplaced during the installation and is now missing. Only 2 gb is currently available. /sdcard cannot be mounted, something about /sdcard/android_secure
I ran some commands in adb, and the space is still there, but it needs to be replaced / repartitioned somehow.
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 395.6M 48.0K 395.6M 0% /dev
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 98.4M 87.0M 11.4M 88% /cache
~ # mount /data
[code]....

I'm usin sony xperia tipo dual st21i2. Two days back I have rooted my mobile using unlockroot. Yesterday i was trying to install custom ROM, for that i booted my mobile in recovery mode using install.bat. In recovery mode took back up and wiped data and cache then installed the zip file(ST21i JBMP5.zip) from SD card and rebooted. Now the mobile got stuck with the screen showing JB MINIPROJECT and a circle was revolving in anticlockwise around the number 10. I pulled the battery and tried to boot in recovery mode but no use. whatever i do the mobile stuck with the same screen.

I have a generic Allwinner A13 7" tablet essentially identical to this one. The internal memory is set so that part of it is seen as internal, and part as a fake SD card mounted on /mnt/sdcard. Actual SD cards get mounted to /mnt/extsd.
I find this very annoying for a number of reasons, and would like all the internal memory to be seen as internal with no fake SD cards, and SD cards to be mounted to /mnt/sdcard. If this were one of those tablets capable of running Linux I'd run gparted and do the job from there, but it isn't.
Is there any way to merge the two internal memory partitions into just one?
I'm aware I can edit vold.fstab and invert the two mount points, and I'll keep it as a fallback solution, but I hate the idea of wasting a gig of useful internal space like that.

I currently own a i9300 and LG-F200L (2 phones for 2 SIM). I got addicted flashing rom and i found a cm 10.1 unofficial build of LG-F200 K that is similar to F200L. My question is: Can I flash the K rom to L and then flash the baseband,kernel for L?
Is there any merger for it? What can i do with my device? (Found 3,4 LG stock modded chinese, vietnamise roms)

I've already written to SE support asking how I can merge the Moxier calendar (which I have to use, because it synchs with my Microsoft Exchange calendar), with the phone built-in calendar, so that I don't have to access things from different places.

I owned a Sony Xperia S lt26i. it will lags constantly while playing some games, i think it is because of its high screen resolution.
If i want to change whole device screen resolution from 1280x720 to 960x540 I just need to change the lcd density/screen resolution at build.prop and change all apps to 960x540 compatible (included launcher) , then change the details of my model to Xperia P (which is a 960x540 resolution) Is it my steps will work?

I have been using Xperia X10i from its launch. It was amazing when it was 1.6. Today it is 2.1 and the access is more to its core. Recently I have installed Z4 Root and ROM Manager. When I click on ROM Manager, it asks to select Phone Model. And in the list I do not find Xperia X10. Can I select any phone model and run the process. Got little scared, as phone might brick.
Besides, I noticed of custom ROM for Xperia X10i (FROYO 2.2)

Can we download and get it rooted as shown in the above link?

Xperia X8 runs on a very outdated Android OS. Although it is due for an OS update to Android 2.1 in the months to come, my question is will it be updated to next level of Android OS ie 2.2 and 3.0? I have heard that it might not get 2.2 update at all, Is it true?

I know it is probably something simple. Yet I am not too sure the difference between the two. My first thought is that one is a US version and the other international. I just wanted to check and see the difference.

I am saving contacts on my Xperia X10 and am not sure if they are saving to phone or the SIM card? How can u tell where they are being stored? Just now I am going into phonebook and selecting new contact from the sub menu once I hit the key on the left it then displays.
First and Last
Phone Number
Email Address etc.
I take it this will store details to phone memory? Is there a way I can store contact only to SIM card and if so how?

I tried upgrading my Xperia x10 mini pro but my PC freezes at point where update tries to install SEMC drivers.
I have tried following things:
-Disabled the Anti virus.
-Inset USB cable to High power USB port.
-Reinstalled PC companion software.
I have seen one post where manually installing SEMC driver has helped. But I could not find the SEMC drivers at Sony Ericsson web site. I am using Windows XP SP3 32-bit.

I recently acquired an A13 tablet and wanting to install CM10 on it I first installed CWM 6.0.2.8 according to the famous manual (if it's relevant I'll post the exact url). Anyway, it got stuck on CWM (doesn't boot normally). Now I figured it can't install since using 'adb shell' and looking at /proc/partitions -- nothing is there!
"""
cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
179 0 15558144 mmcblk0
179 1 15554048 mmcblk0p1
"""
So I have no internal memory to use -- no internal memory to install to, right?
"""
ls /dev/block
loop0 loop2 loop4 loop6 mmcblk0 nandf ram0
loop1 loop3 loop5 loop7 mmcblk0p1 platform ram1
"""
Seems that only nandf exists, which means I can't cat into nandg and sync and install new img. Right? Or am I missing something? How do I fix this?
