Tutorial Link2sd app to save directly to external sd.

Samsung Galaxy Y Young S5360 is one of
the popular entry level android
smartphone today. But because it is
relatively cheap, it does have its
limitation. One is its internal phone
memory storage. Samsung Galaxy Y has
only 160MB of internal storage.

Here is the good news, now you can actually
increase that to make room for more
apps and games. How? I?ll show you.
Here?s the thing, we are not actually
gonna replace any parts of your Galaxy Y
or unlock something to increase it?s
internal memory. We?re going to make
use of the external SD card. Below are
the steps on how to increase the internal
phone memory of Samsung Galaxy Y
S5360.

Note: This procedure is not limited to
Samsung Galaxy Y alone and it can also
be done in other android smartphones.
And proceed with CAUTION. If you?re not
careful you will experience data loss in
your Samsung Galaxy Y/android
smartphone.2.e. After you have formatted it, right
click on the microSD drive again and
selectMove/Resize. In my case I created a
1.37GB partition size while the
unallocated space is set to 500MB. The
unallocated size will serve as the
additional internal memory of your
android smartphone. Hit ok after you
have set the partition size.


How to increase internal phone memory
of Samsung Galaxy Y (or any android
smartphones):

1. You will need to root
your Samsung Galaxy Y or any Android phone u wanna use

2. We need to create a partition on your
SD Card or your microSD card.

2.a. To create a partition in our microSD
Card, we will be needing a free tool
called MiniTool. You can download one
Here

2.b. After you have download the
MiniTool Partition Wizard, install it in
your computer and Run MiniTool.

2.c. If your microSD card is new then
you can proceed with creating a
partition. If not, be sure to back up
everything in your microSD card.
Creating a partition will delete every data
in your microSD card. Proceed with
caution. The first time I did this, almost
all of my apps and games where gone,
but they were still physically installed.

2.d. Plug your microSD card to your
computer. While in MiniTool, right click
your microSD card drive and format it.

REMEMBER: Be sure it is the correct
drive and do this after you have backup
every data in your card. Select fat32 as
file system, hit ok and hit the apply
buttonfound in the upper left corner of
MiniTool (the one with the big blue
check mark).









2.f. You will see in the MiniTool window
an unallocated size in your microSD
card. In my case, its about 506MB. Right
click and create a partition for it, it will
be formatted at the same time. Choose
EXT3 as its file system. Hit the Apply
button again after.



3. After partition, you will only see the
FAT32 portion of the microSD in your
Windows Computer. But in Minitool you
will see that there is a FAT32 and EXT3
partition. Now your done with the
partitioning.

4. After you have created the two
partitions (fat 32 and ext3), remove it
and plug your microSD to your Samsung
Galaxy Y (or android smartphone)

5. You will also be needing another app
called link2sd. You can download
link2sd here

6. Install link2sd in your smartphone,
run link2sd and it will ask you to mount
script. Choose ext3 and hit OK.

7. After you have successfully done that,
reboot your android smartphone.

8. Once your phone returns from reboot,
Run link2sd, go to its settings and check
everything to auto-link. That should do
it!
You?re done! By now you have increase
the Samsung Galaxy Y?s internal memory.
Another option is to transfer the installed
apps to your SD card. You can read my

memory to SD Card for Android
smartphones
