I think this app will work on the W, but I don't have one to test with.
Thanks!
Note: Not for CyangenMod or RebelROM. Stock-based ROMs only.

Work fine .

Full detail in the OP's link, but it switches sdcard & external_sd.

I already applied old "manual" method.. is this reversible?
I mean, can swap between memories multiple times?
thanx!

Sorry you guys got bit. Cyanogenmod has a built-in routine to manage storage, so this is for stock roms. But what do you mean by soft-brick?
I've added a note to the link's OP warning about cm9. Below you'll see cm9's vold.fstab; it's quite different from a stock Samsung. From the instructions:
If your device's /system/etc/vold.fstab file matches the attached original Galaxy Exhibit fstab file, it may work for you as well.

Code:
#######################
## Regular device mount
##
## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label - Label for the volume
## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted
## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.
## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices
######################
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2
Your original vold.fstab was saved when the app first runs. You can rename the backup and reboot to recover from any problem.

I tried this and it says that my 32gb sd card is usb storage. Is there a way to make it system memory? When i did this it gave me less system memory and made my usb storage huge. I would rather have more system memory than usb storage.

This app will not make your external_sd system memory. It swaps sdcard and external_sd as mount points.

So will all my downloads and apps go onto the external sd rather than system memory?

worked fine on my stock rooted 2.3.6. thanks. if I chose to swap manually I presume I could simply over write my existing vold.fstab with your vold.fstab.swap (renamed to vold.fstab)?

Anything that installs to /sdcard/ will instead go to external_sd if you do the swap.

TWRP internal sdcard install?

Hi everyone!
I originally installed TWRP when I rooted today, but when I went to install and internal sdcard, nothing is there. However, everything else is there on CWMR. Is there something I'm missing here? thanks!

~bump

It's located weirdly under /data/media and NOT under /sdcard .

Yes I thought same thing but for some reason it list all of internal card folders and files at /data/media.
The ext SD card shows normal when on it though
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

Technically /data/media is normal. If you navigate to that when you are in Android you will still end up at your internal memory. All the other mounts you are used to (/mnt/sdcard) are only symlinks.

Yeah that's right...forgot about that. Technically the sdcard card space that we view as our personal internal storage is merely a symlink for the android os. Makes sense now. Thanks

Same happened to me. I had to have the card reformatted to FAT32
Download EaseUS partition master

Yup. It's because it's not formatted in fat32. Format and it will work fine.

fat32 = 4gb -1 byte file size limit
that means no pr0n files bigger than 4gbs for you! jk :silly:

[Q] Internal SD Card Storage I/O Error in CM10, but Works in Recovery Mode

Hi guys,
Searched the forums high and low, no answer from what I can find fixes my problem. Here's the situation:
In my build of CM10 I used to have /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1, the system points /sdcard to /storage/sdcard0 and /external_sdcard to /storage/sdcard1. Currently. I can only access /sdcard from Recovery mode, I see all the files that should be on the internal sdcard and it appears to work perfectly. When I load CM10, I am unable to access /sdcard, I continually get "Failed: I/O Error" as the returned message when I try to enter the directory in ADB.
No matter what I do, I get "Failed: I/O Error" when I try to do anything on the internal sdcard at /storage/sdcard0. I've tried re-flashing ROMs, formatting the internal sdcard in Windows, going back to stock, accessing the internal sdcard in ADB etc. Nothing works. Interestingly, I restored a NANDROID backup I had of CM9 and It restored the /emmc directory, which I believe was my internal sdcard. I tried to then flash from CM9 to CM10, hoping the sdcard would fix itself, but again when I logged into CM10 I get "Failed: I/O Error".
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation and fix the input output errors I receive when I try to access my sdcard (internal storage) from CM10? As I said before, reflashing doesn't help, and it's a strange problem as the sdcard does function in recovery mode.
Advice is much appreciated!

Any ideas? I'm running cm9 with no problems at all. Very strange.

Same issue here
Once you remove the external SD card, sdcard0 is visible again.

your build of cm10? did u compile it yourself?
also could u Odin back stock GB 2.3.6 and then tel me if you have access to SD?

10.1 20130112 nightly

Is there really a10.1 build for the Hercules? Get.cm doesn't have it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I have this same problem, albeit with the international version of the SII

Anyone found a solution to this? It's driving me nuts... How could it be that CM10 worked perfectly, then all the sudden, no internal sdcard. Restoring CM9 fixes the internal sdcard, but reflashing to CM10 causes the internal sdcard to be unreadable with an I/O Error. This is driving me mad. Windows can read the internal sdcard and format it fine, the internal sdcard can be read from Recovery Mode fine, but it can never be read in CM10.0.0.0, the release version...
Ideas?

what format is your memory stick ? If it's exfat CM won't see it because it's a closed format by Micro****.

Fat32, CM9 recognizes it fine...

than I'm very surprised. I have a 64gb working fine, but I'm on the nightly from get.cm.

Yea... very weird... I've tried running nightly builds too.

[TUTORIAL] Increase your internal storage on WFS with INT2EXT 100% working

Hi people
I want to show you today how to increase your internal storage (like free storage) up to 1GB or more because we can't live with 30 MB free so I want to show you how to reach more.. clockwork mod and root is needed-
I tried with TWRP and it won't flash INT2EXT, so don't try with TWRP
Min. 2 GB card is needed! And only clockwork mod with ROOT!
1.: download the link in the attacheds files (CronMod-INT2EXT4+_signed.zip for new roms; or INT2EXT+ for older roms)
2.: put it on your SD card and let 1 GB (or how many internal storage you want to have) free
3.: copy the whole SD files on the computer! important, because it will remove all your things of your card
4.: get into recovery
5.: select advanced - go to Partition SD Card
6.: then select your size, you want to have free
7.: at Swap size, select what you want.. I don't know what that means
8.: wait until it has finished
9.: go to mounts and storage and mount usb
10.: connect your phone to your computer again and copy all files back to the SD Card but let so much free how you partitioned
11.: select install zip from SD Card
12.: choose zip from SD card
13.: then install the CronMod-INT2EXT4+_signed.zip and wait until it has finished
13.: again to mounts and storage and format sd-ext
14.: reboot phone
15.: enjoy
you only have to do this once!!
If you flash a new rom and you did a clear wipe, you have to boot the rom, then come back to recovery, install INT2EXT and format sd-ext!!

CronMod; for his awesome INT2EXT
and djolivier: he helped me by using INT2EXT​

Try again. After flashing with CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed.zip, then format ext2. still same internal memory not improved

Are you guys getting annoying lags once your memory is 400+ mb filled ?
