Good day
I have European device with limited memory
I want to know if there's a way to use the sd card storage to increase the total size of the device memory
Thanks
Most roms support app2sd or data2sd,, backup your SD card, enter cwm, advanced, partition SD card. This creates a partition on your Sd card formatted EXT format, which the system will use as internal memory without you doing anything.
I dunno if you can force your already installed rom to move stuff to the SD, or if you have to reflash to activate it.
When its active, you should make sure all your apps are set to use phone memory not SD card, if you click "move to SD card" it takes them out of the ext partition and puts them to the fat partition, thus defeating the object of the ext.
Is it possible to mount somehow SD card on internal memory? Just after flashing new rom AND after full wipe mount it on "sdcard0" our external SD card? I understand that then will not be possible to take it off from out phone..
I am asking becouse I have 64gb SD card and 8gb internal memory... :/ not enough for me :/
I want to know the whole criteria of Lenovo-A3000 storage, I mean it has an Internal Storage, also an SD card, So:
1- is SD card included inside the Internal Storage?
2- is SD card separated by accessed through the Internal Storage?
3- is SD card totally separated?
and Now, if I choose to wipe data/ factory reset from some recovery tool like CWM, is that will wipe all data including SD card data?
and at last, why the device reads the SD card as it's at /data/media directory while this is not obvious when accessing the Internal storage through some file manager or through the PC usb ?

Internal SD card is just an emulated storage. This means, that the INTERNAL STORAGE (not accessible without root privilegies) is /data and INTERNAL SD CARD is /data/media. When you wipe data/cache using recovery, it wipes /data and /cache EXCEPT /data/media. When you wipe INTERNAL SD CARD, it wipes ONLY /data/media
Great Info

Great topic from TWRP
I found also this great topic from TWRP team which declares clearly the Data/Media behavior
if i fomat my SD card as a internal and i format my internal storage via TWRP. I lost my SD card data???
I only see format as "portable storage" option.

it works for me, the only problem is I always getting the corrupted SD card if I format it in full portable storage.
Mee too facing sd card corrupted problem
