01. You will need to root your phone first
2. We need to create a partition on your SD Card or your microSD card.
2.a. To create a partition in our microSD Card, we will be needing a free tool called MiniTool
2.b. After you have download the MiniTool Partition Wizard, install it in your computerand Run MiniTool.
2.c. If your microSD card is new then you can
proceed with creating a partition. If not be sure
to back up everything in your microSD card.
Creating a partition will delete every data in your
microSD card. Proceed with caution. The first
time I did this, almost all of my apps and games where gone, but they were still
physically installed.

2.d. Plug your microSD card to your computer. While in MiniTool, right click yourmicroSD card drive and format it. REMEMBER: Be sure it is the
correct drive and do this after you have backup
every data in your card. Select fat32 as file system, hit ok and hit the apply button found in
the upper left corner of MiniTool (the one with the big blue check mark).

2.e. After you have formatted it, right click on the microSD drive again and select Move/Resize . In
my case I created a 1.37GB partition size while the
unallocated space is set to 500MB. The unallocated size will serve as the additional internal memory of
your android smartphone. Hit ok after you have set the partition size.

2.f. You will see in the MiniTool window an unallocated size in your microSD card. In my case,
its about 506MB. Right click and create a partition for it, it will be formatted at the same time.
Choose EXT3 as its file system. Hit the Apply button again after. Again be sure to hit the big
check “Apply” button otherwise the changes would not be implemented.

auto-link. That should do it!
