Use external_sd as main storage - Samsung Captivate Glide

it seems to me that my 3.7 gig of internal memory gets full really quick. i was wondering if the was a permanent solution to having the phone read the actual memory card as its default setting?

Assuming you have a rooted phone, open the file:
ect/vold.fstab
Change the details to the following:
# internal sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
asec = enable
discard = enable
format_option = -r 2236
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd 11 /devices/platform/s3c-mshci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0
# external sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file
asec = disable
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1​

One of the very first things I did with my Glide after rooting. I hope that helps.

nice tweak man will do that as well when i get the phone and root and install new rom.

Just in case it wasn't obvious to anyone, you should only change the bolded parts listed here, the rest of the file doesn't actually match our devices. For the curious, here's what ours looks like:
# internal sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
asec = enable
discard = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd 4 /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0
# external sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file
asec = disable
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1​
Also note that after this change, I'm having issues with the drives staying mounted on the PC. I've not bothered to look into it more just yet, as I'm currently stock again, copying everything off the internal memory before swapping mounts again.

Yeah, I wanted to add that after I posted, but I wasn't allowed to edit my post due to my low post count. Thanks for pointing that out to everyone for me. =]

So, as I mentioned, after modifying vold.fstab I'm having a problem with usb mass storage. After mounting the sd card and internal memory to the pc, copying files directly from one drive to the other causes the phone to unmount both drives and drop the usb connection for a brief moment. I didn't have any problem doing this prior to the mod.
Other than that, it stays mounted fine. As long as I copy files to or from the PC before moving them between the internal memory and SD card, everything works as expected, and I've copied large amounts of data to and from both to test.
Anyone else running this having similar problems? I'm on the rooted stock 2.3.5, with Aradat's kernel v1.2. I did snag a log of what's going on, if anyone wants to poke through it and see if they spot something that looks out of place.

So, with the ICS update our vold.fstab changed. Here's both the original, and a modified one with this swap, for anyone who wants it. It works pretty much as expected.

I just use link2sd to store stuff onto sd card. The stock storage is a problem for me!

I did swap the external for the main and I must tell you, it is sweet to not have to worry about space anymore.
I have a 32GB card that I would never remove so this was just what I was looking for thanks guys!..
The only thing I had issues was Titanium backup started to complain because I did not change where it was pointing to before I made the switch, so I had to clear it's data in settings then it started fine.
PS before I did this change I made sure to format the SDCARD (4gb internal) and this made a nice clean Partition for CWM!

Will this work on the New ICS Rom?

Yes. The internal memory doesn't get mounted on boot for some reason, but you can just go to settings > storage and mount it, and everything works as expected, so I'm too lazy to poke around and see what the issue is.

Thanks for this update. I hadn't even thought to look into making my phone utilize the 32GB micro sd card I had in it as main memory and stumbled on this thread looking for something else. Currently I am moving what I want to keep from the internal 4GB before I format it and maybe use it for my Titanium Backup storage, who knows. Thanks button for everybody!

Yeah, it's very handy. CWMR still uses the internal memory by default, so I just use it for storing roms and nandroid backups, with everything I actually use on my 32gb.

does you need to format you sdcard (32gb one) as ext3 or 4?

My 32gb was formatted in a microsd card reader on my pc, as fat32, and has no issues. I can't speak for the 64gb.

good to know, thanks

Nevermind. No automounting on internal storage is a known issue.

I cleaned up the vold.fstab a little bit and solved the non-automounting issue. I also marked the external SD card as encryptable and non-removable since it's now a fairly primary storage area.
Now both SD areas are mounted properly on bootup.
Updated .zip attached. :good:

oh that sound good, i think i will use it as well.
as i have some applications and data installed on the internal memory should i
just copy everything i have with sd explorer (or even just tar the all thing to root
of the microsd card and then extract it for better permissions) and then chage the
vold.fstab file, than format the internal memory?
BTW lambgx02, does your update files is for ICS only or also for the GB?
if i'm not mistaken the original GB version didn't' include the encryption and non-removable option.
maybe you can tweak it as well?

Easiest way is to plug in to a PC via USB and drag and drop everything you want from one volume to the other. Remember that your apps might get confused if they were configured to use external_sd (since everything will now be moved to sdcard).
A benefit of using USB is that the volumes will be unmounted from the device, so you don't have to worry about apps reading/writing while you're working.
As soon as you're done, eject the volumes (but don't pull the USB cable), update the vold.fstab file and reboot. This will ensure no sdcard-aware app will be restarted before your mounts have been swapped.
Regarding my vold.fstab, I've only tried on the ICS build, not Gingerbread so ... not sure if it'll work or not. Why not just use the original version posted by the OP for Gingerbread?

[Q] Swap internal and external SD

In older versions of Android the external SD would be mounted as /mnt/sdcard but now that is used for the internal memory and the external SD is now /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. This is a bit of a problem as some apps can only save to /mnt/sdcard and it quickly takes up our phone's internal memory. I have offline GPS maps and a few Gameloft games which can only save their data to /mnt/sdcard and as you can imagine free space is very limited.
What I would like is to switch this around. Basically I have a 32GB SD card that I would like to use a storage for some of my apps as it is not being fully utilized. I've searched around and it doesn't seem like there is an easy way to do this. I'm not completely sure but it seems like there are methods that might be specific to different phones which requires modifying a file in /system/etc.
Will this safely work for our phone?

For Recovery swapping has been tried..
You may get some idea..
Maybe the use of symbolic links could help, but I never tried it on an Android device.
I had read people Mapping the External under a directory for example the Games directory and therefore all games would in theory be on the External. I think this is what you mentioned as symbolic links.
How can you do that. I tryed a million things. Last time i installed literom with added swap internal memory to sd mod. And after i copy something in phone i loose the mobile signal. I guess the card is getting corrupted or something. How can i make it so the sd card wont be unmounted when i plug the phone in pc ?
Might want to consider this:
Root External 2 Internal SD
I've not used this specific one myself but I have used similar apps in the past.
I didn't use that yet.
But what i found untill now
1. Using Directory Bind wich makes a link between actual place of the files and where they should be. Example You put com.xxx.xxx in your SD card and set the progam to tell android when is looking into sdcard/android/data/com.xxx.xxx go for files in sdcard/external_sd/com.xxx.xxx
This method is good for games and files for them
2. Another thing is modifing vold.fstab and swapping the way adroid mounts those partitions. (this option is buggy somehow)

I'm stumped

Hi everybody. I am trying to get my daughters phone set up. She is 20, very busy, and I only get the phone an hour or so at a time which is frustrating. I have modded my own android phones(Note, Infuse,Gnex) so I'm not a beginner, but this captivate glide is acting a little different.
Here is where I am. CWM is installed and a backup of 2.3.6 is done, and a copy saved on my laptop. I have ardatdat's 1.2 version kernel ready to flash for root and to remove the IQcarrier junk. She will probably stay on stock, rooted since she is not into teching her phone but does want to remove ads and maybe tether to a tablet occasionally on ATT without a tethering plan- tit BU and freezing or removing the tethering manager.
I am having trouble getting the phone to recognize an 8 gb sd card. I have repartitioned it so more apps can be moved over(primary fat32 and logical-ext 2) and split the card to 4gb and 4gb.(approx)- even when just left as a one partition card with 8gb fat 32 the phone just won't recognize it. I put the old 2gb card into the phone and that one is recognized but is from a non android phone- an LG xenon.
I want to put the zip files to flash on the external sd card along with a few apk's ti install with the appinstaller. But.. the phone won't see the files. Do I have to use the internal storage?????
Don't have the phone now- it's off to work with her. So I will try later tonite. Any suggestions??
Thanks. Open for any help here. I have never had this much trouble before! Have searched for sideloading apk's, but from what I am finding it has to be rooted first??? I have checked unknown sources for install of 3rd party apps and usb debugging also checked.
I will continue my hunting for info. I'm sure it's just basic stuff I'm just not seeing. Thanks again
Ah. CWM Recovery is not compatible with the external sd card, I believe. It's located under /sdcard/external_sd but the zips are invisible in the recovery. So yes, I think you have to use internal

Thanks for that. Did not read that anywhere! Any idea about apks on the external sd card?
Ive tried that too... The apps are located in the data partition on the kernel so that is already directed to internal... The only things most people put are Media like movies because music players scan the entire /sdcard partition and the /external_sd is in it.
Hope this helped ^o^

You may need to format the sd card in the phone itself to get it to show up, some people have had problems with cards formatted in other devices or a pc.
I haven't tried a dual partition card in the Glide, but I came from a Motorola Flipside which had an absolutely tiny amount of space for apps, making link2sd and the second partition virtually mandatory. The Glide, however, has 2gb internal memory for apps, and the ~3.75gb internal memory that's mounted as /sdcard that you can store apps on with the standard Move to SD build into android, so I can't imagine anyone needing more storage than that for standard apps.
You can always points Titanium Backup to /sdcard/external_sd, my backup folder tends to get pretty big since I keep multiple backups. If she's installing a ton of games that have extra downloads to the sdcard though, you can fill up the internal "sd card" pretty quickly, and there's only a couple of ways to deal with that. She can give you the phone after installing those games and downloading the extra data, and you can manually move the data over to the external SD and create symlinks yourself, which can be tedious.
Alternatively, you can modify the vold.fstab to change the mount points, putting the real external sd as /sdcard and the internal storage as /sdcard/external_sd. There's instructions for this here. The vold.fstab method is what I personally use, as I've got a 32gb sd card and far too many games that want to download 500mb+ each.

Hi and thanks. I just read about that mod. Is it as straightforward as just rewriting that file in rootexplorer? It sounds too easy!
I was gonna format the sd card in the phone but was not sure it would format the internal card and not the external one since I can't seem to get it recognized. I would be in big do do if I erased her stuff!!! It might be a bad card and I'll try an alternate one.
Yep, it's really as easy as snagging the file, editing it, and rewriting it in root explorer (or a shell, I haven't bought root explorer so I tend to do things from the shell). As for formatting in the phone, it should list both an SD card and USB storage, the usb storage is the internal storage, and the sd card is actually the sd card, it *should* have a format option there if the card is good, even if it's not seeing the files on it.
Thank you all!!!!!

Piece of cake!!!!! :highfive: We now have the external sd card (only 8gb for now) mounted instead. Whoever came up with that very clever work around is genius. That's better than apps2sd or link2sd.
Thank you so much to everyone who responded. Between all of you I have Rooted with the kernel on the internal card, and the appinstaller saw the apks when I put them on the internal card. My original 8gb card was bad. It was a cheap one- $5 or $8 dollars. I got 2 and the 2nd one works fine- formatted in my computer and phone saw it immediately. I transferred the stuff from the internal to the external. Did I need to do that? I left it on the internal incase the sd card is removed. Tethering manager is removed- att junk is frozen.
One more question if I may? If another rom is flashed, or I odin back to stock for whatever reason, does this sd card switch stay, or is it overwritten with the new rom? Just need to know what to do if I ever need to reset this phone.
I also added my google account to the market to put my paid apps on her phone but when I signed in to the play store under my account my paid apps did not show as paid. Anyone know why? I worked around it but I was surprised.
Again thanks to such a nice group of people! :highfive: I had a crash course in the captivate glide in 24 hrs. You gave me info here I don't think I could have found with continued searching.

Moving everything that was on the internal memory to the SD card was a good call, since you swapped the mount points everything that stored stuff on the internal memory will now expect that stuff to be on the sd card. There's no need to keep it on the internal memory (you can delete everything there and it'll recreate LOST.DIR) unless you plan on swapping back at any point, in which case you could just copy stuff across before swapping back.
As for flashing another rom, that'll require you edit the vold.fstab again unless the rom has already made that change, which none of our existing roms have.
Personally, I keep the internal memory completely empty as far as daily use things go. CWR will store its backups there, as it mounts the memory independently of the vold.fstab, and all roms/kernels/etc you want to flash can go there, leaving the sd card free for things you actually use.
Bak- thank you so much for all the info. I saved the original file and I will make a copy of the edited mount file in case I need it again. If I ever get her phone back I will clear the internal card since that info is now on the external one.
I wonder how long this captivate glide will hold up with my daughter. She is very hard on her cell phones. Already case #1 broke due to a drop. 2 more are on the way. When I pointed out it could have been the phone broken she said- yeah, I know. I'll keep the case on. :victoryshe hates cases!) Hopefully this phone will get her thru her senior year in college!
Thank you everyone who pitched in to get me the info I needed to get it going. :laugh:

[q] re-partitioning the glide

i was wondering, when we can get ASOP/AKOP or CM9/10 we can re-partition the glide to have only system partition and the extranal sd card can act as the internal one. we all know that the 8GB is not enough, especially with 2gb system and 6gb sd card - i have 2gb in system and 4gb in sd card - but if we can combine it to full partition then it will be more then enough as a basic install space - cos allot of apps can be moved to sd card and leave little room on the system partition.
It's already possible to change the mount points so that your physical sd card is mounted as /sdcard, and the internal storage takes its place at /sdcard/external_sd. It's a quick vold.fstab edit. You can see my post about it here, with a pre-modified file and a backup of the original.
You'll need root and busybox (or some form of file explorer with root permissions) to copy the file over, but it's pretty straightforward. As for repartitioning the internal storage to be used for /data, I've got no clue how to do that, but this is a reasonable enough workaround.
i know about that workaround but still there some side effects to it, like the usb mounting in the PC.
still i think its doable if creating aosp from source with cross with our ics source from samsung..
maybe a more knowledgeable dev can shed some light on the subject.
Changing the actual partitioning isn't something that's commonly done, as it can wreck compatibility with roms (including official updates) that expect things a certain way. The only issue in ICS with the vold.fstab edit is the internal memory isn't mounted on the phone at boot, you have to manually mount it any time you reboot. MTP file transfers work just fine (with your physical sdcard being labeled Phone and the internal labeled Card) as does the legacy USB Mass Storage mode.
If you really want to mess with it, look into partition editing using parted. This can go very very wrong, and may not work at all, so proceed with caution.
i see thanks for the info

[Q] How do you guys deal with the limited (2GB) USB Storage?

Hi all,
I know that Samsung likes to mount the external SD Card at "sdcard/external_sd" and uses it's built in space as the "SD Card" when viewed by the OS/applications for the purposes of installing applications/data.
For a phone which is powerful enough to play some decent games which have large data files this is a huge problem because the USB Storage fills up after installing only a couple of games with no option to move the data to the real external SD Card.
I have tried "Directory Bind" and it actually does work with the stock ROM, until I plug the phone into the computer and mount USB Storage. The phone barely enters USB Storage mode and right away the directory binding is broken until the phone is rebooted, with the SD Card sometimes not remounting on its own.
My question is, is there a way to install applications to the external SD Card? Is this a problem with the custom ROMs like Arco's CM9 or any of the derivatives? Is it to do with the partition structure? Can this be fixed or are there other applications I could try besides Directory Bind?
Thanks

You could try to move the apps you installed to the external SD by using app2sd. Download it from the playstore

Hi there, if you're running a custom rom like cm9, you have a really useful option.....
Goto settings>>storage press menu and select storage configurations....then 'check' the box.....this basically swaps the storage volumes and uses your external SD as internal storage.....you will have to reboot your phone so that the change takes effect.....
CM9...I don't HAVE to.....I just.....can..
Swapping your storage, it is the simple way to deal with that kind of this problem.
And just for your information, using the directory bind will preventing your phone to enter the deep sleep, so it will drain your battery much faster than you don't use that application.

Nope it won't. If you wipe data and restore factory settings your sd card won't be deleted. Unless you format your external sd which is refering to your sd card

It won't get deleted because it's just symbolic mounting location placed within the phones file system but it doesn't hurt to keep a rolling backup of your SD card somewhere else (once when changing ROMs on my Xperia Play I lost about 2/3 of all photos on my SD card, it was a freak random bug but was devastating).
Also note that different ROMs store photos from the camera in different locations which can be a bother for some gallery applications (having to go through folders). If you're using the default setting of storing photos from the camera or music/downloads on the internal 2GB "SD card" then this data will be erased with a factory reset
With GB, I installed Bionic Cow 2; out-of-the-box it swapped Internal & External SD, allowing me to use my 16GB Class 10 microSD as "sdcard".
For good measure, I partitioned the microSD into 2; the 1st as FAT32, the 2nd as ext2. Then I installed Link2SD to help clean up the 'internal storage'.
With ICS (CM9), it's much easier. After *completely* wiping the phone ( /system, /data, /cache, internal SD, and external SD), after 1st boot of CM9, I go into System Settings and swap the internal / external SD, and immediately rebooted.
On CM9, I *still* partition my microSD to enable Link2SD.
Keeping 'internal storage' less than 50% used makes my phone zooooooooooom

[Q] Possible to remove the virtual SD card altogether?

Hello,
I have just recently started absorbing direct Android / Unix-based kernel experience, so excuse the potential technical bull**** ahead.
Seems to me that Ace II has an internal ~2GB storage, half used as the standard internal space and second half mounted as a virtual sdcard0 that can be used to store additional apps or else. When I install a real card, it it mounted by the system as sdcard1. Through NovaFusion advanced configuration, I am able to swap these 2 cards, so my actual external sd card becomes sdcard0 and can afterwards be used as alternative storage for apps. So far so good, but the virtual sdcard moves to sdcard1 and is just a 1GB OCD trigger.
What I would like to do is to remove the virtual card altogether, merge it's space back into the internal storage so I get 2GB full internal memory and use my real external sdcard as sdcard0 without any additional mounts.
Possible?
