Is there an SD swap app that works on ICS? - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi, as the title suggests, can anyone recommend me an app that can perform SD swap because the galaxy w internal memory is just insufficient .

I don't think theres an app to swap SD, but in CM9, you have an option to swap internal to external. Or, replace a edited vold.fstab

try this go to settings>storage>press menu>storage configuration > check use internal storage then reboot . . . . . .

this one works:

use Link2SD

If your on stock ROM then App2SD and its variants works well but if your on CM9 or CM9 based ROMs then you can goto the storage settings and tick the box that says use internal storage and then reboot your phone.

Hey guys I have been asking everywhere but no one has replied me so I have no choice but to post a new thread. I have cm9 and when I connect my phone to the com, I can only access my external sd. Is there a way to access the internal storage as well?
Thanks

When you attach it you're going to see your external sd card. If you browse inside it you should see a folder called "external_sd" or something like it, inside it you should get access to your internal storage.
I may be wrong though. Try it and let me know if it works.

Try changing usb connection to mtp. Im able to see internal and external sd card when connecting to pc, but the prob is, i cant copy files from pc to phone and vice versa. When connecting to PC using mass storage im able to see external sd but no internal sd,but i can copy files from pc to phone and vice versa. So my advice, if you want to see your internal using usb nass storage, try removing your external sd and connect phone to pc again and see if youre able to see your internal. I think this is known bug in cm9 since external card is mounted as emmc and not as external_sd anymore.

If you need to transfer files urgently into your internal memory, my suggestion is that you transfer the file to your external memory, then you use your phone to transfer files internally from Ext.sd to Int.sd

If your phone is rooted, you can use Link2SD. You will first have to split your MICROSD into 2 partitions and format the 2nd partition as ext2.
There are *lots* of tutorials on this; use your favorite search engine to find one.
Alternatively, use a custom ROM that supports external/internal SD swap, and reinstall everything.

i haven't thought of merging something and i don't think it is possible. but making apps get installed by default on external is easy. All you have to do is swap your sdcards and then use an app(rom toolbox)to set apps' files to be installed by default your internal sdcard, which is, because of swap, your external sdcard

Internal sd near full

With the galaxy s3 you can't install apps and run them from the SD card... unless you do the storage swap mod...

Be careful..if you do it wrong when ever you try to install apps it will say "storage space full" and you have to Odin back to stock to fix..but if you do it right its a good thing to have..also use titanium backup and back IP the games you're not currently playing and save them for when you want to play them and restore.. read the thread carefully as I do not know if it works with jelly bean if you're on that.

App2SD Not Supported?

I tried link2sd but I get this notice
App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.

if u have flashed the above file...then ur external storage is swapped to the internal sd. so now install all app or games u want. they will get installed in external sd.
there is no need for link2sd ...

It will not automatically do that. You will have to open ext2int application and configure it.
Use Gl to sd application.. It has a great developer support... This external to internal application last updated on Nov 2012.so there are so many bugs like duplications of files... Obviously applications install in phone memory only data files will move to the sd card. If you want to move only applications. Use link 2 sd... But data files cannot be moved using link 2 sd application..

I tried GL to sd before and since it is for Gameloft games(hence the GL name) and I don't have gameloft games installed it showed a blank screen on startup in addition to the "mount" and "unmount" buttons.

Reinstall the application again and try... Email to the developer he will surely help u... He helped me a lot. It's not only for gameloft.. All games and large data applications supported... I have installed 75 applications among these 21 are hd games... I purchased the pro version of Gl to sd applications so it will automatically mount at boot. Check screenshots..

:good: Your answer has the price of gold!!!! That's exactly what I wanted - to move the application data.
The cyanogenmod I installed yesterday has driven me crazy! In the LG's original rom I used automatic script with `mount --bind` command, it worked perfectly, in cyanogenmod it has very a strange behavior. Although I could see in `df` it was bound and could see the files from external storage at that location, but the applications still wrote to the internal storage somehow transparently in the background. Don't ask me why and how it was possible, but it made me angry. Now I'm keeping the cyanogenmod in my phone.

Yes I have tried to reinstall today and still shows blank list of applications. meantime using ext2 int, my sd card which is now the internal storage has been reduced from 14gb to 11 gb so far --- evidence that my installed applications have installed on the sd card and not on internal memory of the phone(which is now the external).
I am happy with it so far.
As for gaming I use my galaxy note for that. Also the note has "move to sd" natively.

So for running a game that has been moved through gl to SD, I have to mount it first through gl to SD and only after that game will run otherwise it will crash. Am I understanding you correctly?

How to swap between External Sd card and Internal Storage in Grand?

Alright bro...first..
Cwm makes folder in extSD card/clockworkmod/backup/*here*..
Second...as I see...ur main problem might be HD and big games with data..(If that is the scene, ) try gl2sd app..that will move ur game data to sdcard..and mount it whenever u want to play game..(simple as hell )..
NOTE: you have to keep a data first in phone memory, then it will move to SD card!(don't pit in sdcard directly)..
Hope I helped

u can use link2sd for link all ur apps to 2nd partition in external card ..and u can use folder mount app for mount media ,data folder like
whats app and others apps to ur external card ..these two app can save much wanted space in our grand ..and yes gl2sd for games data
also a useful app..
:good:
