STANDARD DISCLAIMER. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE AS A RESULT OF USING THIS APP. AS ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
So I found an app that will allow you to use your external sdcard as internal memory. I've only done limited testing, but it appears to work. So I figured I'd put this out there for others to try. If you decide to give it a shot, please post your results here.
(You obviously need root access for this to work)
1. Download this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
2. Once you open the app (and grant it su permission) you will be presented with a screen that says you haven't selected a configuration (or something to the effect) select 'Go' this will bring you to the settings.
(Alternatively, you can select 'I dont care' and then select 'settings')
3. Once in the settings, check the box that says 'use per default'
4. Now scroll down to the bottom and select 'view different devices'
This will extend the menu to show the devices (mount points?)
5. Scroll down until you see '/dev/block/vold/179:33'
and select it.
6 now press the down arrow to save these settings
7. Press the icon on the top left and it will bring you back to the main screen.
8. Press the 'external>internal' button
Once it toasts that it was granted superuser permissions, you're all set. Just go to settings> storage and you will see that the device now shows that the internal is the size of your sdcard
I have noticed that it does slow the device down a bit even with my class 10 sdcard. But that is to be expected, since the sdcard is always going to be a bit slower than internal memory.
****you will also notice that there is an option to run at boot. I recommend unchecking this until you're sure it is working correctly****
-note i didn't create this app. I just found it while looking for ways to use the extsdcard as internal memory. I'm still going to look into a more 'formal' solution so we don't need to use an app to do this.
