How To Increase Your HTC Pico's Internal Memory Using Link2SD
HTC explorer is super star in the android budget range. Loved equally by users and developers. I am not lying , see for yourself- almost all Cyanogen-mods ,scripts, kernels and lots more support Pico. Isn't it proof for its unmatched popularity.
Even with all these features, the greatest drawback is its lack in internal memory. Almost every user have complained about the dreaded low internal memory issue. Hopefully by the help of some awesome developers we managed to get a solution.
A simple method to increase your pico's internal memory is explained here. We use link2sd ( an android app available for free in playstore) to do the process.
What is Link2SD?
Link2SD uses the second partition of your SD card to use it as an additional segment of internal memory.
Warning:
- Phone Must Be Rooted . Check:- How To Root HTC Explorer Pico
- Remove App2SD if you have it installed
- Move Apps From SD To internal to link afterwards
- Install Link2SD, no need to run it.
- No Need to format your SD card, just have atleast 1 GB free space.
- Stock ROM Supports FAT32 as primary. Those with kernal update having ext2,ext3 .. can use it also.
Let's Begin:
- Download MiniTool Partition Wizard From Internet.
- Run Minitool Partition Wizard
- Plug in your SD card using Card Reader ( USB Mounting is not trustworthy). You can view your SD card from Minitool partition ( try to reload if not present)
- Next right click on your SD card. From the pop up menu select " Move/Resize". It will bring you to a new section.
- Now move the memory slider to get min 512MB to 1024MB on " Unallocated Space", as shown in figure. I have created 1026.66 MB unallocated space. If you have a bigger SD card of 4-8-16-32 GB sizes, better go for 1-4 GB space. i was using a class 4 memory card ( 2GB ) for demonstration. Finally press OK
- Now you have to create a new partition on your unallocated space. For that right click on the new space and select" Create". (Right Click>>Create). It will show a pop-up message, just ignore it and press "Yes". ( It just shows that after you partition on the primary can be seen on Windows. You can view it on MiniTool)
- This will lead you to new window , where you have to partition your newly created space. Select a name for your drive, Choose "Create As"- Primary, then select "File System"- FAT32. Leave "Cluster Size"- Default. Finally Press OK.
- Then press " Apply " on Top Left Corner. It will give a warning, press OK and continue.
- It will take Some Time to create and resize partition. Wait till it finishes.
- You have successfully created the secondary partition for Link2SD. Reboot your device and follow the next processes on HTC Explorer.
Now Lets Head over to Link2SD
- Open Link2SD on your a310e, you will be welcomed with a screen like this. Now Select" FAT32 "
- Next you will encounter a SuperUser Request. Press Allow button on the screen.
- Now you will get a message showing that mount script have been successfully created on your SD card. You need to restart your device. Press OK at the menu.
- Now you will recieve the old Power options. Choose Restart. Once restarted open Link2SD and click the Menu button and go to "Storage Info". You can see your Internal memory, and the two SD partitions.
- Now use Multi Select and select all the app to transfer. You can Select the Apps one by one also.
- Once you have selected all the required apps press "Actions" button. It Will Give You a new window with the following options as in figure. Select " Create Link"
- Next you will recieve a " Create Link? " Window. Tick all the three options and press OK.
- Once done you can see the selected apps have been linked to your SD card ( see an orange colored text on top of the app). Next Reboot Your Phone.
- After Rebooting you have to configure your Link2SD settings. Go to Settings by pressing the menu button and configure how you would like Link2SD to work.
There You go! You have successfully installed and configured Link2SD to increase your internal memory. ( Enable Auto link).

ReplyDelete@ Ambuj & Srinjoy,

Could you please help.
ReplyDeletemy gtalk : mughaldesign@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteFlashed the jb ROM that you have up on the other page, Thank!
ReplyDeleteBut now that i have cyanogenmod 10, whenever i partition, the phone says SD Card damaged. Reform? and then goes ahead to format it and the whole card ends u in one piece and partiioning is lost. Any suggesions?
Completed all the steps. applications moves to the second partition, but it is not displaying this partition in Phone's settings. and if i download a new app, it is downloaded in the phones 150MB internal memory. (Second partition is already linked)
ReplyDeleteBro after 1st step i was open the link2sd it shows the menu when i clicked on FAT32 it said that if you have root access then allow it... how can i allow root access??
ReplyDeleteHi Vishnu.. I have rooted..if I expand my memory and install ics in my phone will it be a correct procedure
ReplyDeleteOr first I will install ics and then we will expand the memory
Please suggest
It showed message in Link2SD is Mount Created, and gave two option 1. Reboot Now 2. Ok
ReplyDeleteWhen i clicked reboot now it showed permission denied.
Now if am checking the Internal Memory it is still same no change
In Storage Info it is showing Internal Memory and two partitions
PLzzzzz Helpppp.............
Link2sd creates a second partition. This second partition will act as additional internal memory as it is linked with it. Make sue when you install apps only this partition is affected and not internal memory.
ReplyDeletebetter try partitioning after rom installation to be safe.
ReplyDeleteIts just increase 25mb of internal memory i try for 1 gb but its only increase 25mb guys its just a waste of time ... as well as void ur warranty ur wish u want to do or not :P
ReplyDeleteits gud and i have managed to complete the procedure but now when i have installed the applications and they have been linked to sd as well but the internal memory still got low and came to 3.5 mb ... please help me ??
ReplyDeletemy id is abdurrab_1@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteplease reply me as a mail
mount script cannot created help me pls:: thanks in advance :)
ReplyDeletesame problem i got in my stock rom but then it was solved when ui changed into cm10 custom rom
Deletewell i tried your method but it not work on stock rom.. i changed to cm10 custom rom voila!! my internal increased.. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Mr. admin, i have rooted my htc explorer(pico) with cyanogenMod 10.2 and have installed link2sd and did what you have told to do according to the above process. I am glad to say that it's working successfully and now i can install a lot of applications which could not be even dreamed before.
ReplyDeleteBut there is some problem. My internal storage is showing the same storage space as it was before, 150 MB out of which a few MB is free. External storage as 2nd partition is showing 1.99 GB out of which only a few MB is used. When i'm going to install further applications it's showing that it's out of memory. Here, i would like to mention that all the applications that i have installed are linked or installed on my sd card's 2nd partition. I have thoroughly checked it.What shall I do now? What is the necessity of allocating a huge amount of memory(2 GB) if it can not afford installation of huge memory requiring applications? Though applications are installed in sd card's 2nd partition why my internal storage is shrinking with the installation of applications?
@ raaz,
ReplyDeletehave you enabled autolink to all appliactions. (TICKED ALL THREE OPTIONS).??
The phone's internal memory is showing the same 158 Mb even though the process has been completed. I've enabled auto link also. Please help !
ReplyDelete@Vishnu Nandan
ReplyDeleteYes, I have ticked all the three options..ie app. file, dalvik cache file and library file.
@Vishnu Nandan
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, in the mean time there is some problem with downloading from play store. I don't know why but applications are stuck onto the initialization of download. Please fix this up as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
I also have the same problem, I have 2 GB on the 2nd partition of the SD card under info from Link2SD but under the Storage menu on the phone, it doesn't show it anywhere nor can I download new apps
ReplyDeletedon't mount link2sd partition
ReplyDeleteI want to know that if i have created this parition once and then i flash another custom rom then do i need to again partition my sd card...?? Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteRooting your HTC Explorer will helps you to increase internal memory. Here is the detailed working method :
