I used this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972018 but i cant swap the sd card and external sd...please help...
Hello,
I Should make a post on how to swap cuz it is very easy, working on every ROM and many requests about it. However the easiest and most accurate way to swap is the manual way. These are the steps: (follow them carefully)
1- download a file browser that has a build-in text editor(i prefer es file explorer) and uses root
2- launch it and go to /system/etc and find the vold.fstab (it's a file there)
3- Open it with your text editor and swap the words sdcard and external_sd.
4- reboot and enjoy

No... I have to put the APK installer file into internal memory... Not after installing.... Is b4 installing
In the basic sense of the question, it means just put the APK "NOT" within the sdcard or any folders under it. I think this only possible if you're rooted.
In any case, I wonder why there's such requirement. APK is just an installer and even in the sdcard level it should work or run. Then when you install, default is the app will be placed in the INTERNAL memory. That should be what you wanted.
Maybe tick the unknown sources option if its not already?

I suppose that's what i will do also even if doing so sounds strange. If still don't work probably its a bad apk. Try it on another device or look for another source.

test using titanium, so you can integrate the game to system, it can work maybe
For what purpose?
i have a *ahem" game called "Spectral Souls"....
but i can't install~
You can put it to system/app with Root Explorer if a install from sd card doesn't work.

Follow these steps for a secure transfer. Phone must be rooted and have some sort of recovery.
1. download an APP from the market called app2zip
2. Open it, its pretty self explanatory, you can choose which apps you want to save into a flashable.zip
3. zip them they will save on ur SD card you can move it around via root browser or any browser
4. when you get your GS3, and if you do root it with a recovery, you can just open recovery and flash the .zip file, bam its back on your phone.
Yes i know this only works with rooted/recovery phone.
Goodluck
hit thanks if this helped!
If i have apps on SD card by apps2SD on the SGS4, can I switch to a new SD by just copying and pasting them over, or do I have to move it all back to the "device storage"?
Thanks

Ok swapping is easier in manual mode so you have to follow the steps correctly
Before we start i just want to warn you all you apps which are installed on your sdcard must be moved to internal phone memory or they will be lost after swapping.
1- get a file explorer that has a build-in text editor and could use root.(i prefer es file explorer)
2-go to /system/etc and open "vold.fstab". And open it in your text editor.
3-ONLY swap the word "sdcard" with the word "external_sd" as i wi show you in these attachments.
4-reboot (i make a fix permissions before it) and enjoy.

I purchased a 32gb micro memory card (class 10) for my beloved Note2. Then I updated my Google Chrome browser for Android. I made it my default browser. I noticed, all my files I download goes to my internal phone memory.
I tried to figure out how to change the default download directory, with no success. It's just not possible. I'm coming from stock browser, which uses external memory. Also, Dolphin HD browser uses external memory, but not Chrome!
Not Chrome!
Someone correct me but, may have to do with Nexus phones not having an SD card slot and its probably the Nexus' default browser? For some reason they carried that throughout?
Yeah, i thought of that also. But for us with removable external memory cards, it's a pain to keep manually moving my downloaded "stuff" from the storage/sdcard0/download folder to the storage/extSdCard/downIoad folder. It's a shame they can't put it in the settings somewhere.
You could probably use one of the bind Mount utilities from the market to mount the download directory over to the external card.

Don't misunderstand me. I rooted all my Android phones up to my Note 2 (Vibrant, G2, SGS2) however not my Note 2 yet. Its because I use Isis wallet.

How about a download manager? I have been researching for a solution, and came across these download managers. I noticed that If you install these apps, when you attempt to download anything, it asks if you want to use the download manager or "internet". Why can't the download manager point to my "download" folder on my external SD card.

You would need one that's configurable for that. I imagine that's more up to the download manager app than anything else. There has to be one that lets you pick the destination directory.
You could also try something like Script Manager, write a quick script to copy the files over to the external, then delete them from the internal. It wouldn't need root as the sdcard directories don't respect permissions by design. Then set it to run once an hour or similar. The "script" could be as simple as "mv /sdcard/download/* /extSdCard/" .... Assuming "mv" doesn't get angry about them being different filesystems. If not, a "cp" followed by an "rm" would do the same thing. Or you could get fancy and use a loop to check that the files got copied over before deleting the original... lots of options.
Google's hate toward removable storage is irritating.

If you are going that route why not just choose the stock Android browser for downloads and that has an option to download to memory card? You would have to clear defaults in Chrome if you already had chosen to use that to download as default.
I use the download manager that comes with ES File Explorer as my default downloader. All downloads go to my sd card.

But can't you select the stock browser for downloads only as default until Google fixes the Chrome app?

I guess I can switch browsers, only use the stock browser for downloads and chrome browser for surfing. However, I want to stick to only one.

This is how you do it: install es file explorer --> open it and go to settings --> select directory settings --> then download path. Pick your SD card. Open chrome and surf to a download of some sort. A pop up should appear and ask how you want to download the file. Choose es file and select always. Done.

If you mean you are removing the stock browser then the options are a third party app as suggested by a few here, but if you leave the stock browser on your phone, once you select that to use to download as default it will be the same as a third party app. It will just download.

Quite an easy fix actually. It requires you to decompile the app, though. If you know how to do that with an SDK tool I can provide you with the modified app file.

Sure! Decompiling sounds scary, plus if I was to figure out how to change the default directory, any updates would totally revert it back. But, having said all that, I will look into how to do such a feat. Thanks.

Nope, didn’t work for me. It seems logical, and it should work, however I can't get it to work correctly from a website I routinely download from that requires a cookie. For some reason the stock downloader app works fine, along with the stock browser, but not Chrome.
I get a download fail everytime I use ES File Explorer along with Chrome browser.

I know how to make camera save to SD card NOT WHAT IM ASKING.
I am using Chrome, and stock mms, on stockrom[roooted]v2 by docholiday77.
Can i change the default save location to a folder on my SD card? Or have it ask where do you want to save this?
because right now its saving to internal sdcard>downloads. and im having to use my Root explorer to copy and paste the files into the appropriate file location, and its very inefficient.
Create a symlink using root explorer.
Long press the folder you want to use and choose Link to this Folder. The rest should be apparent.
Don't know if it'll hold after reboot.

My bad...
ment i have Root browser and ES file explorer*
there's no Symlink with them but there is a create shortcut in Root browser is that the same?
There should be a way to link them using those. Give it a try and see.
