No it doesnt, it has 8GB internal memory on the device, but you need to buy one. I just got a new NC yesterday and im waiting for my 8GB sd card in the mail so i can start hacking it.

cool thanks
but i suppose later, we can put in the internal memory, any files/books that we want right?

In fact, the CM7 on SD uses the internal memory for ephemeral user data (dalvik cache, etc), so there's more SD available.

Replaced the stock 2GB miniSD w/ 16GB card. How can I manage where apps download?

Hello all,
I just replaced the stock 2GB external SD card with a 16GB and transferred the movie over to the new 16GB card.
I thought all the apps that I'm downloading would be saving to the external 2GB SD card, but surprisingly that's not the case? I thought by default it would save to the external storage card first.
How do I manage where I want my apps and future downloads to be saved? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
All I see under settings -> SD card and phone storage -> (it shows all the info, but only gives me the option to unmount the storage on both internal and external cards.
Also on the very bottom of that screen it shows: "Application storage...Available space...1.50GB"
Is this a partition within the internal storage on the phone where all the apps have been getting saved to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Basically the Vibrant gives u 16GB or space, 2GBs of this is for Applications an such, while the 14GB partition is for media (music, movies etc).
When you install applications currently they will install onto your 2GB partition. Once Froyo (android 2.2) hits you'll be able to select if you want the apps to install onto your SDCard.
Once the modding scene picks up a bit more I'm sure A2SD will be available and also a 2.2 port prior to the official one.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply!
So basically right now we can't change the default settings of it saving to the partition space on the device itself? In my mind, "...hhmm there has to be a way around this...maybe?" LOL
I can't get the phone to mount on my PC or MAC. On the phone it shows as USB storage device connected and it also displays a window for me to mount or unmount....Nothing shows on the computer for me to be able to access it...hhmm
This is all so odd because my buddy has the old Galaxy i7500 and I'm able to plug his phone in and it mounts in seconds.
The only way for me to access the card is for me to use the SD adapter card and physically take it out of the phone every time..

If i replace the 2 gig sd card with avatar on with my 16 gig class 4 should i part it with a ext 4 or just format it all fat 32 ??? I was thinking just fat 32 the whole card since the apps default to the internal mem ..
Really? Not to be a downer guys, but why is this in the Development forum? Can we move this over to General or Q&A please. Once the Development forum starts getting flooded there's no going back.

I just reformatted it FAT32 all the way. Then I transferred both movie files of Avatar and it works perfectly.

If the issue that this thread is referring to is indeed related to a development problem, would it not be proper for it to be here?
How do you move posts?

Thanks for the quick responce iunlock im formatting now ...
Also, it's best to keep as much apps on the system memory as you can. Accessing data on the SD card is slower than from the internal memory.

No reason in creating an ext partition at this time since there is not much support currently for this kind of mod on the SGS. In the future i'm sure ppl will get this mod out there, but for the time being you should be good with Fat32.
Plus installing the apps on the internal mem is the best option for speed an such.

[Q] Can I wipe the sd card

If i put in a 16gb card do i have to copy everything from the old one. There isnt anything i really need on the old card but worried that i erase some essential program/file for the evo.
Thanks in advance
No. I did wipe out mine without any issues. Just make sure that you back up any necessary data. I lost some wallpapers

it depends. if you have apps2sd, it is possible that there may be some side effects.

[Q] Out of Internal Memory

i'm running out of internal memory on my tab (sprint). i haven't installed a lot of apps. i have more apps on my droid incredible so not sure how i filled up the 2G. maybe it's coincidence but it started going low when i installed clockwork mod. i verified that my backup for clockwork mod is in the sd card so that's not it. any other places i can start to look internally? i barely have 10 or so apps in here.
Maybe check if files and pictures are going on your sd card and not the internal memory.
Try moving some apps to sd card and see if anything changes.

yeah, i moved all the apps that possible to move to the sd card. i've taken only 3 pictures. i still only have 28M left. i guess it's time to check all the folders.
I'm willing to bet that as far as Clockwork is concerned, that 2GB internal storage is seen as your SD card, and the MicroSD card is sdext, which Clockwork probably isn't aware of.
That's the way it works on non-CDMA Galaxy devices (though all those have like, useful amounts of internal storage so it's not really an issue like it is on the crippled Verizon/Sprint versions).

I installed that version of clockwork mod and yeah my memory said it was full so i did a factory reset and delete it and all is fine now,,,something is wrong obliviously with that version and not worth installing until it is fixed,,, looks like it can cause def problems if we fool around with it,,,nothing against then mods.

[Q] Apps2SD?

Is there anyway to move apps to SD? I know they took out the feature in ICS, but maybe via an app or something? 8GB is pretty small when you take away a gig for a rom slot...

better yet, has anyone figured out if you can flip flop the internal and external sd locations so the phone thinks your external sd card is the primary? I know this was possible on the X2 and the RAZR's.
I have the memory switch .zip file, but no way to install it on my rooted Droid RAZR M
I was curious how difficult would out be to just rename the internal storage from sd card to internal storage? If that is possible then we could just rename external to sd card then we should be able to move apps to the card easily.

Tried an app from the market and it seems working: GL to SD. need root access

nah. tried renaming them last week or so and it not only didnt work, the damn things renamed themselves upon reboot. im pretty pissedf about the memory on this phone cuz the phone itself is pretty snappy.
Dang I guess Motorola has this phone on lock down. I used my EVO 4g to copy songs over to my SD card and once I inserted it back in and tried to mount it, it kept saying blank, so I rebooted my phone and it showed up. If I wasn't as smart as I am I would have probably formatted the damn thing lmao I was wondering if they did that as a minor precaution to people trying to hack the phone with something on the SD card, but then again I'm sure if they did a reboot wouldn't have made it show up then.

So were you able to move anything other than game data to your ext sd? It let me move dropbox, but nothing else showed up on its list of transferable files.

Path to External SD card

Hey guys, what's the exact path to the external SD card? I'm using Rdio, and I'd like to store the synced music files at the MicroSD card.

Yea, I just read http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/03/17/w...4-update-for-the-galaxy-s4-and-galaxy-note-3/
It appears that Rdio is the one that's gotta do all the fixing, to make sure it's compatible with 4.4.
It's down to the app makers to update to let you save stuff to sd since kitkat update.
