Want to make your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 internal storage disk space bigger? Yes, you can make it up to 11.8 GB now. Don’t stick with stock 8.9 GB disk space. Of course, this is custom modification and unofficial. So ONLY do it if you know what you are doing… Well, basically it will install a China firmware with much larger user storage partition table file. This is possible as I mentioned previous in Galaxy S4 to have more internal user storage. But too bad that Samsung did not do so in all other international models.

Of course, with the help of StickMount application too. Note – root access is required.
