Many android user have low internal memory/ROM prob with there android. Here is the solution, All you need is a Rooted andoid phone(busybox installed) with Sdcard. In this trick we will make parition on Sdcard(fat32,ext2,swap).And mount the ext2 on /data on every bootup by replacing file "htcfs"
In this you trick you need to connect your Android to your Computer in recovery for the Adb.exe is required
Before proceeding download the files.
htcfs (Rightclick & choose save as)
Make sure file "htcfs" should be without any extension like "htcfs.txt".
Make sure file "htcfs" should be without any extension like "
Put these file in a folder(For Eg: I am Using F:/android/)
Now connect your andoid with your PC using data cable make your "USB debugging mode" is active.
Now follow the steps:
Open Command prompt and change directory to F:/android/
Type:
# adb reboot recovery
# adb shell
# mount -a
# cd /system/bin/
# busybox cp htcfs htcfs.original
# exit
# adb push htcfs /system/bin/
# adb shell
# cd /system/bin
# chmod 755 htcfs
# chown root.shell htcfs
Here we have made the changes in the system file to mount ext2 partition on data.Now we will make the partition and copy all the data to ext2.
# fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 245696.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Now check the internal memory.This trick has been tested on the HTC and Samsung you may try this at your own risk.
Feel free ask if you have any query.
