[HOWTO] mount EMMC and External SD on CM7 as it is on Stock ROMs

Hello Everyone.
In this post, I would like to show how to mount Internal SD card and External SD card when using Cyanogenmod 7 ROM.
I had some issues because CM7 mounts the internal SD card under /mnt/emmc and mounts external SD card under /mnt/sdcard.
As you know, there are many applications that download data using /mnt/sdcard as path and if you have CM7 way of mounting these apps won't work.
So to mount Internal SD card to /mnt/sdcard and External SD card to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd as it is done on Stock ROMs proceed with the following:
1 - Open the file /etc/vold.fstab with your preferred text editor (I use root Explorer) and find and modify the last lines as below an then save:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2
# otg sdcard
usb_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/usbStorage auto /devices/platform/msm_hsusb_host.0
#end line
2 - Open the file /system/build.prop with your preferred text editor and find and modify the following lines as it is show an then save:
# notify vold we have internal and external sd
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard/external_sd,/mnt/sdcard
3 - Reboot the phone and voilá
This procedure worked for me and I have no issues to mount both my Internal and External SD cards when plugging the phone on my laptop.

a good guide indeed for the CM7 ROM users
I did something similar for all my Gameloft games, EA games, Glu games, and DATA partition, and Download, and all the other stuff, basically i mounted everything off to my 64 GB SD card instead of internal SD
lets give this topic some flight time, stuck for a month, it'll come off by itself
also added to main INDEX

Thanks AllGamer...

thanks, i was looking for something like this for a while.

Thanks so much for this. Thanks a bunch!!!

ICS
Can someone who had flashed ICS Alpha builds tell us if this procedure works on them?
Thanks and I am glad I'd helped someone by doing this post

Testing this out right now on Isotope, let's all keep our fingers crossed.

does it work for other devices cm7 roms??

tried it and didn't work for me. Might have typed it wrong. Will try again.
I only used the file browser to see if i can access both the emmc and the sd card but could only get to the emmc

I will try...

Oh man, thank you!
This worked like a charm on my Epic Touch 4G.

tried this in a aokp rom(hydrogen), and it doesn't work.

Why not mount the emmc to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd in addition to /mnt/eemc for backward compatibility?

Does it work on CM9 too?

I had ICS Passion v13 installed on my Samsung Vibrant before, and my vold.fstab file is a bit different from cm7's. I now have cm7 installed but the vold.fstab file doesn't seem to have changed with the change of roms.
It would be great if you could post the fstab and build.prop files somewhere online from where I can download it and replace in my phone because I don't want to mess up again(I encountered the "encryption failed" bug in ICS today and I tore my hair out fixing that..so yeah.)
Thank you.

Anyone else that's on AOKP have any luck getting this to work??? The flip-flooped SD cards on CM9/AOKP is seriously annoying..

has anyone found a solution for AOKP yet? I find that many of my apps such as google music and my camera don't save files properly. This has caused me to switch back to juggernaut.
major thanks to anyone who can help!

[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.

thanks , i thought it should be placed in the folder where u cut the files , btw does this only work for files (saved files) what about apk? i mean in \data\app folder all the apk of the apps that i installed is there, can i use this script so that i can move my apk files? or this script only works with saved files? thanks again

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.

i used the "Directory Bind" tools since 3 days ago, and it's works like a charm in my SGW untill now..

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

It is using the same working principle, i.e. bind command.

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)

data/app folder is in the root of the phone, that's why i use this script "mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app" what im trying to do is to get more space for system storage, and i think it is 1.07GB, when u go to task manager under storage tab, thanks for ur patience

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mounting SDCARD as sdcard0

Is it possible to swap the sdcard-mounts?
ext-sdcard = sdcard0
internal storage = sdcard1
It's annoying coming from an older device and all images aren't loaded -.-
Already tried some steps via adb, but it's impossible to umount sdcard1, but I am working on it. Maybe I make a script.
Any cool ideas?

if u r having xperia M ...then there is already two types of swapping for it..search in Xperia M android Development
one has the swapping like u said and another has swapping with data from playstore saved in sdcard1 [default it will go to sdcard0]
but if u r using M dual..i think u need to find a way..

[DS&SS]swap sd card on 4.2/4.3/4.4 (UB) updated for (LB)

For stock 4.3 with Locked bootloader
It's better unlock it, but there is another way.
1. Get root
2. Get BusyBox using this app: press there Install
3. Get init.d support using this app: press there activate and then verify
4. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget backup files!
5. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
6. download the zip and extract it to system/etc/init.d
7. Set permissions to file with all 9 ticks
8. Reboot
Don't pay attention to info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
Just check using filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
It's must be swapped:
– External memory now linked to internal 2 GB
– Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0
For stock 4.3 with Unlocked bootloader
1. Install CWM recovery via flashtool: tutorial
2. Get root by flashing via recovery SuperSU.zip
3. Get BusyBox using this app: press there Install
4. Get init.d support using this app: press there Enable init.d
5. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget backup files!
6. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
7. Flash via recovery ZIP attached below
Don't pay attention to info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
Just check using filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
It's must be swapped:
– External memory now linked to internal 2 GB
– Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0
For CyanogenMod 11 and other 4.4
1. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
2. Flash via recovery ZIP attached below
– External memory as before linked to actual sdcard
– Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0
– No access to real 2 GB internal memory
Video tutorial for stock 4.3 with Unlocked bootloader from me
If you will follow this video be aware.
For init.d support install APK provided on YouTube, NOT app with almost same name form Google Play: Universal init.d
[/QUOTE]

@Bonoboo for a more simple tutorial
@zeyad xu for finding this
@xda people for trying
also for @raffie_archildz the man who made this
1. Create an Ext4 partition in your microSD with "Mini Tool Partition Wizard" ( you can search tutorial in google)
2. Install Link2sd and create mount script (EXT4)
3. reboot
4. Open Link2sd and select apk > menu> Create link
5. Done
Never use MSC mode (USB Mass Storage) for connecting to PC!
This can mess up data your files. Use only MTP!
Settings > Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity > USB Connection mode > Media transfer mode (MTP)

Here fresh tutorial how to root and keep BL locked.

Works very well.
Please update title, it works also on locked BL (even you can flash zip by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555)

TIP:
For those of you like me, who have a motherlode in their sdcard and would like to save their time:
1. (Optional) Connect your phone in MSC Mass storage mode
2. Create folder called "0" (zero without quotes) in your sdcard.
3. Move entire contents of your sd to the 0 folder so that only the 0 folder remains on the root of sdcard.
4. Copy the init.d script and reboot
5. Rejoice with your saved data and time

Guys, don't pay attention to that info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
Just check using any filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
It's must be swapped.

I have checked it, and sdcard0 is swapped with sdcard1, and it's also swapped on PC when I look on my Xperia.
So really sorry: it works good, maybe not brilliant, because in Total Commander external memory is still have 16GB and there is no internal memory, but for Android it works good. :good:
Thanks!!!

As Bonoboo said,
your sdcard will now be mounted on /sdcard and internal memory is on /sdcard1. So if you had transferred files to folder 0, you will find it on /sdcard.
