Hi guys, this is my first post here. Recently I have flashed Bionic Cow 2 Rom by CWG (awesome ROM) but I didn't want the Internal / External SD swap function. So what I did was replace the modded vold.fstab file in /system/etc with the original (stock) vold.fstab file downloaded from the internet and rebooted my phone. Everything went fine, the sd-card was unswapped and the storage readings were normal again. But there was just this one problem that is irritating me. I downloaded Antutu Benchmark and did a test and it couldn't read perform SD card write/read tests. It somehow just skips it and gave me 0 points in the end. I have attached a screenshot of the problem below.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Hi, swapped my original 4gb samsung micro sdcard that came in my desire for a sandisk (class 2) 16gb sd card. Backed up the original sdcard to computer using teracopy and all went very smooth. Then files copied to new sdcard (again all ok).
after this realised phone seems a little slow as It was superfast before (only had it for 2 months). Didn't do anything to new sdcard (format) before installing to phone but it all seemed fine.
Also noticed that the art cover on some of my songs were messed up (like INXS cover when song was by Queen for example.
The album (photo) listing also looked a little diferent with one of the options 100MEDIA (didn't have this before) but all photos ok.
Is this all normal or is there any procedure I can do to make phone speed as it was before. Not rooted yet but will anyday now (when I get the courage !)
Would flashing a new rom make things quicker ?? CM7 perhaps ??
Thanks for any advice...
What class in the new SD card? You get what you pay for with SD Cards and I find Class 6 Transend 8Gb to be the best I have used.
it's a class 2 sd card BUT i read all over the place that it really does the job. Since first post phone rang and it wasn't the same ring tone (downloaded from zedge) and thought oh oh.
Originally I named the backup file sdbackup and it was an open folder. After putting the new sdcard in phone I just dragged folder into sdcard then I had a folder with my saved data within the sdcard. it was something like sd/card/backupsdcard
Since then I moved everything from the /backupsdcard folder into sdcard and all seems ok, got my ringtone back. Can't say if phone is any faster though...
Not sure where you read that, But I have been lead to believe that anything lower than calss 4 may cause your phone applications to run slower. It shouldn't affect the overall phone perfomance much thought, just the boot and apps, anything that references the SD card memory.
If in doubt, backup your sd card, format it and restore to it. It could be a corruption that is causing problems.
Hi,
I'm trying to swap the internal and external sd-card in probam4 but changing the vsold-file as well another tool from play-store failed (got the internal Memory as internal and external).
Anyone tried this already with success? If yes - how to do it?
Thanks,
Stefan

Also this works best with redpil kernal

Doesn't work as expected
Hi,
thanks for the hint. I tried to flash the kernel as well as the mod.
Now the internal as well as the external card is pointing to the external sd card. With other tools I had a similar effect but there both where pointing to the internal card.
Any idea how I can solve this?
Thanks!
Stefan
Mine is working fine.Follow op step by step
Script for ProBAM 4
Hi,
I had to change the generated script a bit and now it works. If someone else has the same trouble please replace the file in /etc/init.d with the attached one (after unpacking)..
As ever - do it at your own risk and create a backup before replacing the file.
Best Regards,

Hi, I am new to XDA so I have to report a bug (if it is) here for Phoenix rom v16.
I flashed this rom according to original thread carefully. Everything works well so far but only the extSD card.
My phone is Galaxy note2 N7100
I flashed Phoenix rom from 4.1.3 (I wiped mannually several times using Philz 15)
I have a 64gb class 10 sdcard(fat32) inserted which worked fine under old systems
When I first get into the new Phoenix rom, I noticed in setting-storage, I can see a external card mounted, but the total space is not right (around 10gb). And I used ES file explorer, trying to check the content there, but I cannot see nor write anything. I went back to setting-storage and unmount SD card, and then mount again. The space became right. And I can access to the card using ES file explorer also. It looked good!
However, after I flash the update and reboot the system, the problem comes back. I can see the card under setting-storage but with wrong size, and I cannot read or write again. After I physically pull out the card and then put it back in, and mount it again, it works.
I tried to reboot the system again, and problem came back after rebooting.
I don't know why the system cannot recognize the external sd card correctly after reboot by itself, only after you remount the card, you can use it normally. This really bothers me and I don't know how to solve this problem.

Are you sure you didn't tick option/mod to use external sdcard as internal in aroma installer? This switches the cards and sometimes it states sdcard size incorrectly (depends what mod you're using). With some kernels this mod might not work and weird stuff can happen. If you didn't touch this option then I don't know what could it be.

OK, this could be the reason, I didn't notice this option during installation. I noticed in the orginal thread of the 4.3 phoenix rom that the internal card would be external and external would be internal. I didn't know that I have to choose this. I will look into it again.
By the way, if this happened, that means I will have a note2 with 64gb internal space? That is awesome!
Hi everyone. I've been dealing with this for a few days now and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I'm currently running Wicked S5 Xperience with PhilZ recovery and CWM bootloader. My permissions file is written appropriately to allow apps to write to the external SD, and I manually went into ES File Explorer and changed the permissions appropriately. I'll take a picture, it saves to my external. Ill create a folder on external and it sticks. When I reboot, the folder is gone and the pictures disappear. I've also deleted pictures from the external, and upon reboot they come back. I've unmounted the external when flashing the ROM. I've formatted my internal SD. I've flashed the permissions file, tried Play Store apps, and manually editing the permissions.xml. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why this is happening. It's like my phone is forgetting what happened on the external when I reboot...
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Has this happened with other ROMs as well? Like Wicked X or Tribute? Have you flashed any AOSP ROMs lately? Have you tried another external SD card to see if it may be a bad card?
Well I was on Pac which was AOSP and the permission changes didn't make ANY affect at all. ES was saying I didn't have any write permissions on the external no matter what I did. Stock rooted does the same thing as S5 Xperience, even though I'm using the "allowed" Samsung file explorer.
The card worked in the past, it's loaded with pictures and documents. It's a 64 GB SanDisk high capacity... Or whatever it's called... Its been forever since I looked at the card.
I was originally trying to put Wicked X and I got stuck in a boot loop while trying to install the Xposed framework, and the zip deleted itself from my internal storage. I thought I had downloaded S5 Xperience so I downloaded that. Everything installed fine. I'll download X and see of that changes anything, but each time I formatted and reflashed S5 Xperience I've been having the same issue. The users in the S5 Xperience thread gave me some suggestions, but they haven't worked so far.
If you're sure the SD Card itself is good, all I can recomend is odin back to 100% stock then see if the problem persists.

I'm going to reformat the card first before going back to complete stock. I'm sure it has something to do with the way I rooted or something.
It's the card... Its bad. It's not old enough, though, which upsets me...
Hi guys, i tried some tutorial founded around the forums, but still not able to swap the internal memory of my device (Samsung Galaxy J100H already rooted) with the external sd memory card that has a second partition in vfat32.
I tried with "external 2 internal sd" app, but nothing happens.
I tried to look after the Vold.fstab in system/etc/ but this file doesn't exist on my model, probably mounting point etc. are located differently so i don't know how to find e modify the script.
Someone could help with this? Thank you for now. (hope this is the right section to post)
