increase internal memory of Samsung galaxy y duos GT- s6102 .

I recently came into a Samsung
Galaxy Y Duos phone and the first
thing that struck me was the paltry
and miserly160MB internal storage
that was included in the phone.
Well, yes, granted, it is supposed to
be a budget phone but 160MB on
a smartphone in this day and age
is simply outrageous?! Its dual SIM
feature, however, made it very
difficult for me to pass it over.
Fresh from my exploit expanding
the internal memory of my Toshiba
Thrive Tablet , i knew there had to
be a solution to this irritating
development.
And guess what? I was right, damn
right!
Though the procedure was tested
on a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos GT-
S6102, it should work on any
Android mobile phone, especially
the Galaxy Duos series.
Please proceed with caution and
backup your data first!.
Again, what we are setting out to
do is to make the device recognize
the external memory card as an
internal memory .
You will need to root your phone
first. The very simple procedure
can be found here .
Download the following file and
store in your sdcard;

Updatezip

Cwm

Install the app, Link2SD , from
Google app market to your phone
Switch off your phone and boot
up into recovery mode by
pressing the following keys at the
same time; Volume up +Home
button +lock button
Release the buttons immediately
the Samsung Galaxy Y Duos logo
comes on
On the screen labelled ” Android
System Recovery”, use the volume
key to select “apply update from
sd card”, then select updatezip and reboot

Switch off your phone again  and boot
up into recovery mode by
pressing the following keys at the
same time; Volume up +Home
button +lock button
Release the buttons immediately
the Samsung Galaxy Y Duos logo
comes on
On the screen labelled ” Android
System Recovery”, use the volume
key to select “apply update from
sd card”, then select Cwm
On the screen “ClockworkMod
Recovery v”, select “advanced”
On the screen “Advanced and
Debugging”, select “Partition SD
Card ”
On the screen “For Ext Size”,
select the size you will want your
new internal memory storage to
be. A max size of 1024 MB (1GB)
is advised because of stability
issues .
On the screen labelled “swap
size”, select 0M
Now you wait a few minutes for
your SD card to be partitioned.
Afterwards, select “reboot
recovery”, then select “reboot
system now”. Your phone will
reboot.
Select link2sd
Choose “recreate mount script”,
then select “ext3″
Reboot your phone
After your phone reboots, you may
launch the linksd app again and
move installed software to the
partition you created by “linking”
them.
Please note that you will not
notice any increase in the size of
your internal memory after this
procedure when you check via your
phone settings but what it does is
that subsequent installations are
made directly on your SD card
subject to the maximum size you
partitioned.
Now i have a 1GB Samsung Galaxy
Y Duos GT-S6102.
