[SCRIPT] SDCARD Swap for CM 10.1 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello all,
Note: This is safe and will not harm your data.
What this script does is change all the mount points for sdcard storage so that everything maps to your physical sdcard, and not the internal phone memory. The script will survive ROM flashes/updates provided you do not erase your entire /data partition. You can choose to manually copy the script or use the clockwork recovery installation. To revert, simply delete the script from /data/local. Internal sdcard storage is located at /emmc. External sdcard storage is located at /sdcard.
Instructions for manual copy:
Copy the script to /data/local
Change script permissions to 755
Change script owner/group to root/root (or 0/0)
Reboot
Instructions for zip:
Reboot into recovery
Choose the zip and install
Reboot

Will this work if you are running stock? I want this because I want everything in one place...on my 32gb Sdcard.

Sounds great, I'm just a little nervous to try I it out.
If you want to revert back to the previous setup, do you just erase the script?

There's no way to make an script to show Storage as on Jelly Bean 4.1 that on Solid Explorer or any file mananger you only see SD card and external sd card
So an script that delete the emulated and legacy folders. just asking..

It is safe, and yes you can just erase it. Updated the OP.

Would this method work with my p3110 too? I upgraded to cm 10.1 and gl 2 SD doesn't work anymore

This doesn't seem to work completely; it doesn't make the proper mount points to /storage/emulated/0 This is the main location for Android 4.2
I could be doing it incorrectly though. Thanks!

This does not work on the latest nightly. With 10.0 or 10.1. I get an error flashing from TWRP, too.

[How to] Alternative solutions to swapping for GAMERS!!

Hi all,
I found that some of the SGW users are wondering whether they should swap internal/external sd card as their internal sd card is full with awesome GAMES data.
Here i will provide three ways to give ur SGW more space for gaming. Strictly for root users only.
Internal/External swapping
This mod will swap ur internal sd with external sd. Before swapping, backup the data on both sd cards to ur pc and manually "swap" the data from each other.
Then download and extract the vold.fstab from the attachment replace the one under /system/etc by using root explorer. Then reboot and enjoy.
Mounting script
If u want to store and run game data from external sd without swapping. Mounting script is a good solution to it.
This script will mount the game data path to your external sd. In other word, it tricked ur device for redirecting the games to load data from external sd instead of internal sd.
What u need are
Script Manager - download from market for free [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9zLnRvb2xzLnNjcmlwdG1hbmFnZXIiXQ..
mounting script
Create a new script file in Script manager and type the following:
(I used the Android folder as example)
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/Android sdcard/Android
This is for gameloft
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft
After creating these, u need to cut the files in Android or gameloft from internal sdcard and paste them to the new location on external sd. Leave the original folders empty.
Remember to set them "boot" and "su" and SAVE in script manager. Reboot.
Alternatively, u can use the one I provided or create it by ur own. Extract the MOUNT external.zip and put it into ur sd card. Open it in script manager and select "boot" and "su" then save. Reboot.
If ur ROM is init.d autorun supported, just simply put the mounting script into the /system/etc/init.d folder.
Directory Bind tool
This is an apk created by one of our forum members, slig. This is based on the the same mounting script method. U can use it for simplicity. All credits go to the creator.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20668905&postcount=1
GL to SD
This apps created by tnslf2k is similar to the script I made and it is user-friendly. U can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbGYuTGlzdGdsQXBwIl0.
For more details, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18949753&postcount=1
That's all. Choose a way and play ur games~~!!
i made an second partition on my sd card with easeus (ext2) primary.
Now i use link2sd and everything i download is automaticly linked to my sd card.
So my internal space never get's full.

Theoretically, it should work but I have never tried before. If u don't mind doing this experiment, please tell me the result. I am not very free to play with SGW now. Dealing with galaxy ACE at this moment.

ive tried it, but it didnt work, im using bionic2 so my internal/external is already swapped, but i want my system storage to have more free space that's why i want to move the apk's of my installed apps, here the script i made: "mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app" (without the quote), i moved all my apk files from data/app to sdcard/data_app after i moved it all, obviously my root explorer and script manager wont open that's why reinstalled them, ive set the script to root and boot, but before i reboot, ive ran the script and try to open some apps, it opened so i think it work, after i reboot all the apps that i moved are gone but when i go to data/app i can see all the apk files of my apps there (looks like the script works), but i dont know what the problem is, can u help me on this? or it isnt possible? and let me ask some question, in application menu, there is an option that says "move to sd card", after i press it, when i go to data/app folder, the apk of the app that i moved is not there (obviously) and it can be found in mnt/asec folder, but i cant find it in my sdcard (which is the 1.7gb because its swap), can u tell me where can i find it? many THANKS

Code:
"mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app"
May I know the location of data/app? if it is on ur external sd, it should be
Code:
"mount -o bind sdcard/data_app sdcard/external_sd/data/app"
If u got swapped ur internal/external sd, this script is not needed since all the apps+data u installed into "phone memory" will be in ur external sd. If u try to move the apps to sd card again, it should go back to ur 1.7gb internal sd card.
FYI, system storage is where ur ROM stored and it is fixed (~550Mb) as it can't be swapped. So all system apps will be kept there.
For normal non-swapped ROM, APP to SD can serve the purpose of moving apps from system storage to internal sd (1.7Gb)

Ok~ I got it. data/app is under system storage. Maybe u can try APP2SD to move them into ur external_sd (which is ur sdcard in this case)

no, in option 2&3, the apk and sd files are automatically saved first to usb storage or internal sd. Option 2&3 is for moving the games only saved at usb storage.

First thing, ur sgw must be rooted to use these. To move apps from internal storage to external sd, u can use app2sd.
Secondly, 512mb is the total ram for our device. but part of it will be reserved for running the android system. 350mb is the available ram for u to use.

Updated CWM can't install zip from external sdcard?

I am trying to flash cm9. I just updated CWM to version 5.8.4.7. When i go into install zip from sdcard, there is no option to install zip from internal sdcard. When i go into choose zip from sdcard, it shows my internal sdcard (the rom is on my external). I tried to mount /external_sd and nothing changes. When i try to mount /sdcard, it wont mount.
Should i just try to install the rom from my internal sdcard? I heard that it was dangerous and it has to be the external sdcard. Is there something wrong with my cwm? I installed it by downloading the recovery.img to my internal sdcard and running dd if=... of=...
Sorry if i explained it poorly, again i cannot choose the zip from my external sdcard in cwm.

[Q] sd-ext not mounting properly

Hi
I installed (12/15/2012) [SS] Jelly Bean CM10 v2.9.1 (4.1.2) version 3.0 on my desire and followed all the settings for CPU governor and A2SD scripts. Configured my email, and installed all apps from scratch.
Everything seemed fine, worked smooth. Last night the phone crashed and rebooted and somehow lost most of the apps., including Google play which makes things harder ... Looking at memory usage, it look like there is a problem with /sd-ext.
if i open terminal, and try to run A2SD again, it also shows a problem:
/sd-ext not mounted properly, it might have errors
Found block device: /dev/block/mmcblk0ps
Removing flag a2sd
Removing flag ad2sd
Removing flag dc2sd
Setting flag a2sd
/system/bin/a2sd: line 74: /sd-ext/.a2sd: read-only file system
chmod: /sd-ext.a2sd: no such file or directory
would you also like to move DALVIK-CACHE
I put the SDcard in my computer and it showed no errors
When I go into recovery, I can mount all partiotions without problems??
For now I will go to reflash the phone and start all over.
How can I find out what happened here and how to prevent that?
And is there an easier way to repair this problem
hoping it will not occur again...
Happy new year, best whishes for everyone, and hoping for help
D.
UPDATE: cleared all data from within recovery, cleared cache from recovery and reflashed the zip
when I try to run the a2sd script error is still there!!!
put the sdcard in mu computer, deleted and recreated the partition
and then the error is gone ... ??
How did you create the partition? Use gparted or 4ext recovery only, not minitool or clockworkmod recovery
I used minitool
What is the difference?
So it will crash again?
Anything i can do as a repair or do i have to start all over again?
Thanx for your help!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
Minitool doesn't create the partitions properly.
Backup your sd card to pc. Then I recommend to delete all partitions and repartition using gparted. Search for guide in development section.
Copy everything back to sd card afterwards, then rerun the a2sd commands
Sorry for not understanding ...
Can I copy the ext4 partition as well then? If I delete that, I am in the same situation as yesterday after the crash (?)
Just running the a2sd again did not work then
Thx

1. try to backup user apps only using titanium backup, don't know how many have been lost, but can try and save the others.
2. copy whole sd card to pc. this just copies the whole FAT32 partition of the sd card. you will not see the ext4 partition when connected to PC, don't worry about it.
3. delete all partitions and repartition using gparted (step 5 here)
4. copy the backup back onto sd card.
5. full wipe everything from recovery, flash rom, run A2SD commands and reboot etc.
6. restore any apps using titanium, should go to partition automatically if everything is working. install another app like diskusage to browse all your partitions.
How to fix the dreaded sd-ext not mounting properly, or fix A2SDGUI not rebooting/crashing
The reason this happens is because you have flashed a rom that doesnt support ext4. You will have to change the ext4 partitiion to ext3 in order to get a2sd to install properly.
If you have backed up your data and just need to get a2sd running follow this guide, I am not responsible for lost data or a corrupt sd card
1) Download aparted app. WARNING: If used incorrectly you can destroy the data in your sdcard
Click tools. There should be a partition called FS: ext4, Select it, then press delete(WARNING DATA FOR APPS WILL BE LOST)
2. Click create, then select EXT 3 this time, and the default size 999, dont touch any other settings or you'll corrupt your sdcard, dont touch the init and end parameters!
3. REBOOT the phone
4. Then try a2sd install in terminal or if your using the A2SDGUI, click Dalvik, select Dalvik on SD-EXT, then hit Move and Rebuild, wait for it to reboot, if it does not reboot hit Move! and wait for it to reboot. It should reboot, if it doesnt reboot or crashes you didnt read step 3 when I said to reboot your phone after adjusting the partition, or you mistakenly chose ext4 partition!
If your were silly enough not to backup your data, you can download gparted iso and boot it using your PC. Then connect the phone and goto the ext4 partition and COPY all the files and paste it in a temporary folder. Then delete the partition, then create an EXT3 partition and PASTE back all the data files in the ext3 partition.

Eh?
- The ROM supports ext4 just fine, most ROMs here do. ext4 is also faster than ext3...
- The problem was that the partition was poorly created in minitool partition wizard, likely that it was not properly aligned.
- The issue has already been solved...9 months ago...

[Q] How to swap internal and external sdcard?

b,
i tried editing mountpoints in init.*.rc files as experiment.
the short of it is backup your daily driver to your normal extSdCard then
install/flash a clean rom pref stock rooted, and insert new extSdCard then
flash your modified boot.img then
reboot and you'll see an error about data/sdcard encryption fail with a recommend for fix/repair.
at this point i stopped for lack of an extra/spare extsdcard to potentially ruin [or not]
but if your feeling adventurous you could try it. if i understand it after that process your new extsdcard
should be sorted.
alternately you could through adb dump your userdata block and dd write it to an extsdcard
then do the modified boot.img [with new card inserted] and see if it catches.
note- for adb shell on gt-p52xx you must #enable_houdini first as most bin-utils are arm.

Can't find internal storage in TWRP once external SD card is merged with internal

I used the Marshmallow feature to merge the external SD card with the internal memory.
I decided to flash SuperSU but when I rebooted into TWRP I could only see the root directory and I'm not sure how to get to the internal storage. Looking at it in Solid Explorer it appears that the internal storage should be at:
/storage/emulated/0
but the storage folder doesn't seem to be in the root directory when I look at it in TWRP.
Any ideas?
Internal storage is mounted under /DATA and /SDCARD in TWRP.

How to mount Internal storage or SDCard formatted as Internal storage in TWRP ?
it may have something to do with the new way of handling sd cards in marshmallow
(I know this thread is old but have seen the question asked many times but not solved).
Have been using sideload for the last month - thought there must be an easier way. There is!!
Access /data via a file manager (as root) and copy the zip to /data . You can then access it via recovery.

Don't mean to be a jackass... But, what zip file should I move to /data?
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------
Wait, you mean whatever I wanna flash?
Yes, the CM rom zip, supersu zip or whatever it is you want to flash. Just remember to delete it after you've flashed it (or before you copy the next update there) so you don't fill up that partition.
Hey. If there is someone who can reply to this thread?
It seems there isn't any workaround yet to solve this problem
moving to /data works! thanks!
Wondering if TWRP will solve this file reading problem in the future. Also are there other folders that can be read in TWRP besides /data? Just wondering. Thanks.
hi guys,
i figured out this problem
1. reboot to your recovery (twrp)
2. click mount
3. enable mtp and click on usb (which is at the down left corner)
4. connect your device to your pc with a usb cable and load the files which you wanna flash .

that worked! thanks! after mounting the system and enabling MTP my computer could see both the internal storage and Micro SD as separate entities. I just put the zip file in the TWRP folder on my computer and I navigated into external_sd in TWRP on my phone to see the zip.

Turns out in recovery my phone was ONLY able to access internal storage and not the sd card which was formatted as internal storage.
To fix this I simply re formatted the sd card as external, unfortunately losing the data on the sd card.

What you described is normal.
When you activate adoptable storage the internal and external storage become combined. There is no separate external sd card as it's all treated as internal.
In recovery internal would have also been external storage.
