Extend internal memory of any Android device (Root Needed)

Low internal memory is a very common problem between low end android devices. Today most of android devices have both more than enough processing power and RAM size. But the internal memory size is relatively low. Due to low internal memory, we can't install many apps and most of the times sync stops working. Two most popular solutions to low internal memory problem. Link2SD Drawback - Slow down the device vold.fstab method Risk of bricking the phone. Need the appropriate vold.fstab for the device. I'm going to tell you a different method. In this method the SD card is joined to the end of the internal memory. If the internal memory is not enough, then the SD card will be used instead of the internal memory.  I installed NFS Most Wanted and NFS No Limits on a Xpeia E3 Dual after extending the internal memory using this methods.
