Increase Internal Memory Size to Whatever You Want! Free Memory to > 1Gb!

How to Increase your Internal Memory Size with very low effort!

NOTICE: This method works both on Rooted and NOT Rooted Phones!

You simply need to meet three easy requirements:
  • Stock Firmware installed on the Phone (custom ROMS not supported ...They don't need to!)
  • A microSD with two primary formatted partitions inside (the former 'to FAT32' and the latter 'to EXT4' filesystems)
  • Ready to Flash to your Galaxy Next via Odin


NOTICE: The following Black Box Howto is explained deep inside in the next post of this Thread (short explanation) and in This Thread from outside: Internal Memory to +1Gb! and related ones (long explanation / Italian Language)




HOW TO

1) Download Tass.ops file for Odin!


2) Type this number on your phone keyboard:

*#1234#

and keep note of the PDA code of the Firmware installed.



3) Download boot image ready for Odin and suitable for your firmware:
Your firmware is not listed? ...let me know, I'll give it a try!


4) Flash the downloaded archive with Odin 

Example image follows:




5) THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

How does it Work:


Scenario 1:
I switch on the Phone, without a MicroSD slotted in or with a microSD with a single FAT32 partition (broken or damaged microSD also suite this scenario...); GingerBread boots as usual!
No Difference!


Scenario 2:
I switch on The Phone with a microSD slotted in (with the second partition formatted as EXT4 filesystem but still EMPTY); Ginger boots acting as if

/data

is completely moved outside to microSD but just WIPED (not true obviously, and the original /data is safe inside the phone), so it resettle it from beginning...

NOTICE:
...If your second partition is 1Gb wide...
...your new Internal Memory will be 1Gb wide...


Scenario 3:
I switch on the Phone with the second partition of the microsd (EXT4) up and running (already resettled up for use and with my userdata on it); Ginger simply boots with

/data

moved outside to microSD with your userdata there and tons of apps just installed from the market...

Example Image of my New Internal Memory Size follows

NOTICES & ADVICES:
  • If I want to remove the microSD from the slot, FIRST I NEED TO SWITCH OFF THE PHONE!
  • When I install apps from the Market, Ginger Misunderstands the actual new Internal Memory SIZE and puts the apk files to External Storage anyway! I simply need to move them "to the phone" via "Settings menu" immediately after!
  • When I switch on the Phone without the microSD, I boot using the original /data inside the phone, actually loosing all the apps installed onto the external one untill next boot with SDcard; and, of course, loosing my sms stored there and others personal userdata too.
  • Unfortunately this boot image heavy conflicts with Link2SD (great app anyway!), so you must choose one: This Boot image or Link2SD... not both... sorry!


Don't You Like the boot image just installed and You want to revert without flashing the full firmware to the Phone?
Here are the original images ready for Odin:
