HTC One X（32GB）存储问题：应用存储已满，如何改下载位置或合并分区

Hey there! Let's tackle this storage headache with your aging HTC One X—totally get how annoying it is when your app storage is maxed out but you've got tons of unused space sitting in phone storage. Since this device runs Android 4.x (the standard for its era), here are two solid solutions to make room for your Tetris and Doodle Jump-style games without deleting what you already have:

Option 1: Change Default Install Location & Move Existing Apps (No Tech Expertise Needed) #

This is the simplest, low-risk route—perfect if you don't want to mess with advanced tweaks:

• Open your device's Settings and navigate to Storage.
• Look for the Default install location setting, then switch it from App Storage to Phone Storage. All new games you download will now go straight to that 18GB of free space you have.
• To free up space in App Storage immediately, move existing apps over:
  1. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
  2. Tap on each installed game (like Tetris or Doodle Jump). If you see an option labeled Move to Phone Storage (wording might vary slightly by Android version), tap it to transfer the app to the larger storage partition.

  Note: Not all apps support moving, but most lightweight casual games like the ones you mentioned will work just fine.

Option 2: Merge Storage Partitions (Permanent Fix, Requires Technical Steps) #

If you want a one-time fix that combines App Storage and Phone Storage into a single large partition, this is the way to go. Just be warned: this will erase all data on your device, so back everything up first!

1. Backup your data: Save game saves, photos, and any other important files to a computer or cloud storage.
2. Unlock the Bootloader: Follow HTC's official unlock process for the One X—this is required to make system-level changes.
3. Flash a third-party Recovery: Install a custom Recovery like TWRP that's specifically compatible with the HTC One X.
4. Format and merge partitions:
   • Boot into Recovery mode.
   • Select the Wipe menu, then choose Format Data to erase all existing storage (this is mandatory for merging partitions).
   • Navigate to Advanced > Partition Internal Storage (or the equivalent option in your Recovery), then select the option to merge the App Storage and Phone Storage partitions into one unified space.
5. Restore your data: Once the merge is done, reboot your device, restore your backup, and you'll have one large storage pool for all your apps and games.

Quick Tips #

• Stick with Option 1 if you're new to Android tweaks—it's fast, safe, and more than enough for casual games.
• Option 2 is permanent but carries a small risk of bricking your device if done incorrectly, so only attempt it if you're comfortable with these technical steps.
