How to Increase the Internal Memory
of Android Devices
Most of the low end android devices comes with
a very low internal storage which after few
downloads of applications you start getting low
memory notification. The good news is you can
increase the internal memory.
First your android device has to be rooted, if you
have the Tecno P3 or N3 look here how to root
them easily .
There is absolutely no way you can increase the
size of your phone’s internal storage but you can
allocate some part of your memory card for your
phone to install applications to.
What you will need
Your android phone (must be rooted)
Memory card (2Gb and above only)
A memory card reader (dont use a phone!)
A computer
Download and instal MiniTool from here
to your computer
Link2SD application (should be
downloaded on Google play store
Backup your memory card (copy all the
data on it to a folder on your computer)
Steps to increasing your android
internal memory
Step 1: Backing up your memory card:
before attempting this, make sure you
have backed up all the files and folders
on your memory card to your computer
by easily coping the whole memory card
and pasting into a folder on your
computer.
Step 2: Partitioning your memory card:
connect your memory card to your
computer using a memory card reader
(dont use a phone and USB cable) and
take note of the letter assigned to it by
your computer on my computer page
example (F:), (D:) etc .
Open the installed MiniTool on your
computer.
Right click on your memory card letter
(example D:, F;) and click delete .
Now you will see the memory card
showing unallocated space, right click on
it again and select create as.
Select primary
If your memory card size is less than 2GB,
select file system FAT. If it’s more than
2GB, select FAT32.
Now go down and reduce the size of your
memory card on partition size so that
there will be space on unallocated space
(that will be your added memory, so you
can choose any size you want)
Now, choose the unallocated space again
and select Create as -> Primary
Now, choose EXT2 file system. You can
let the whole space take over in this step.
Now click ok and click apply on the top
menu.
Wait for it to finish and you have
successfully partitioned your memory
card.
copy your data backed up on your
computer back to the memory card and
insert it into your phone and boot it
Step 3: Configuring Link2SD:
Now open Link2SD which you have
downloaded from Google play store on
your phone
Link2SD will ask you to select the file
system of your second permission, choose
ext2.
Now click okay, the phone will ask to get
restarted, click oka so it will restart itself.
A dialogue box will come up after the
restart click okay
Now their is a funnel-like icon on the top
part click it you will see different options
choose on internal (see picture below)
Now tap the option key below, and select
multi-select, then press the select all
button. All of these apps will be selected.
Now still on the option key choose action
then click create link
Select the three options (link application
file, link dalvic-cache file,link library files)
then click ok
Link2SD will then move all those apps
and games then create a link with them
from the second partition of your SD card.
Touch OK when done
Now you are done but to make sure this
happens every single time you install an
app you should goto settings from the
menu and click on auto link and then
select the three options again and
ok….thats done
You have now free of the low memory
issue with your phone.
This a a suggestion from sivakumar

How to increase android memory and stop the
warning of low memory:
I also had low memory problem with my android
phone and and used the following steps to root
my phone and convert system apps to User apps
and get rid of low memory problem.
First go to the settings of your Android device
and do these steps: Settings> Security >Check
“Unknown Sources”. This will enable you to
install apps from third parties. Once this is done
you can go ahead and download Framaroot so
that you can install it on your Android device.Run
it. Now Click on super user and then button very
below will root you Phone.
Now in Google Play Store download “/system/
appmover” and install it, Run it , It might not
show you your apps with another option not
checked, when you check it it will download
another softwere , let it be downloaded in
installed.
Now again open “/system/appmover” app. Using
this app you can convert system apps to user
apps. DO NOT convert core apps like android
system, messeging, google play, gmail, camera,
phone etc to user apps, Convert only those apps
which also can be downloaded from google play,
like Skype, Viber, Facebook, Twitter, talk , maps ,
Sound recorder and others.
Converting each app requires restart you phone.
After converting , these apps can be moved from
phone to SD card just by clicking “move to SD”
or by using apps like “apps2sd”, “link2Sd” etc
and you internal space can be free.
Remember: Which apps you converted will be no
more available when you “Factory Rest” your
phone and you will have to download them
again, which is no problem and can be easily
downloaded from google play, please only
convert those apps which can be downloaded
from google play and are not effective on phone
performance, like skype, Facebook, Viber, Twitter,
messenger, talk etc.
