How to increase my Sony Xpria Arc LT15 or Sony Xperia Arc S LT18 internal memory? This is a big question for most of the Android user. Now it’s possible. Using a init.d script we can increase the internal memory as we want. It can be 1GB, 2GB or even more. This method requires the root permission, SD card 2nd partition and a custom recovery.
However this method doesn’t increase the RAM. This mod work on android 4.0.4 ICS and android 4.1 jelly bean ROM. If you have class 6 or higher value micro SD card, your performance increase, but if you have class 5 or lower, it makes lag. If you have a lower class micro SD card, its better follow this Link2SD method to increase internal memory. This method developed by the XDA forum “XtremeSilencer“.
- Make a 2nd partition on your SD card. EXT4 partition better. [ Guide in here ]
- Root the Xperia Arc, Arc S. [ Guide in here ]
- Install a Custom recovery. [ CWM installation guide ].
