For anybody who wants alot of internal space by switching your external sd to internal storage do the following: First find the vold.fstab file in system/etc. Once you find it you will need to edit it with an app like root explorer. Scroll down the file until you see the internal sd card line change the 0 to 1. Then in the line that says external sd change the 1 to 0. That's it very simple. Now your external sd will be your internal space. Make sure the vold.fstab file has r-w-.r-r or 644 permissions and owner is root. Now reboot and your done. You should now have switched your external space for internal space successfully!!!

Where it says sdcard 0 change it to 1 and where it says external_sd 1 change it to 0. Reboot.

Not familiar with the phone but it looks like all you have to do for this is switch the dev mount sd card with ex sdcard just switch the order so it reads the mount differently. The s2 uses 0 and 1 but basically it should be the same except it uses the words sd and ex instead.

Use this zip just unzip and take the file out and place it in system/etc. With 644 or r-w-r-r permissions and owner as root. Then reboot

Just a file located in your system/etc that I modified to make your phone mount external sd as internal sd to give you way more space for apps and data files for games or music etc.

What happens to the current data? Is it transferred to the external SD? Or just for new data that is written to the "internal memory"?
Damn, looks like I wasted money on FolderMount. Worked great and so simple. Now lets see if my TWRP backups stick to the 64GB now. Could never flash a backup from the external sd card before, always got a "failure".Worked fine from the internal card. Could never figure that one out.
I can't get it to work.

I'm using ES File Explorer File Manager, and I'm struggling with changing the new files permissions.
I went ahead and bought Root Explorer, and it handled my permissions. Hope running Infamous 3.0 will work fine. Fixed permissions and it's booting now.

Having same issue on my s4 myself working on a fix to make it work like the s2 but it's set up differently. For now I have been using GL to SD Root to move game data to ex card and it works great. I freed up 7 gb's of internal space using the app until I figure the voldfstab file out.

Should boot up fine unless you didn't change permissions or had owner as root incorrectly. I used this for almost a year when I hsd the s2. Try wiping dalvik and cache partition then reboot this should fix it.

Since my old thread got moved to general I will re-post here - You can delete the one in general or I can.
Kies air allows alot of stealing of UNROOTed Android files.. so take what you want from the unrooted : )
<KIES IP>:8080 - before each
LIST any directory
/ws/content/files/<PATH>?startIndex=0
i.e. /ws/content/files/etc?startIndex=0
Lists /etc and all subfolders/files
GET any file
/www/apps/KiesAir/php/ws_send_file.php?mtype=application/octet-stream&contentDisposition=attachment&file=<FILE URL ENCODED>
i.e.
/www/apps/KiesAir/php/ws_send_file.php?mtype=application/octet-stream&contentDisposition=attachment&file=%2Fetc/%2Fhosts
GETs /etc/hosts
Good luck.. oh and if you want your battery status...

Moving this thread to General as it's not development, just a way to use an app to take things from an unrooted phone.
There is already a ROM dump - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262697 - so that can be used to get the files you want/desire.
how to?
Hey guys,
This guide is how to reverse the external and internal storages, AKA, use an sdcard as internal storage, and vice versa.
I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, OR DAMAGE YOUR SDCARD.
In vold.fstab, in the directory /system/etc/, you have two lines. Edit them with Root explorer's included "text editor", or any other good (root) text editor. Make sure you have r/w on. Find the below two lines:
Code:
dev_mount internal /storage/sdcard0 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 encryptable_nonremovable
and
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/virtual/block/cyasblkdevblk0
Now, replace the regular lines, with the below red lines:
Code:
dev_mount internal [COLOR="red"]/storage/sdcard1[/COLOR] 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 encryptable_nonremovable
and
Code:
dev_mount sdcard [COLOR="Red"]/storage/sdcard0[/COLOR] auto /devices/virtual/block/cyasblkdevblk0
Save, reboot your phone, and BAM, your internal is now marked as external, and your external, is now your internal

Wow, that's some really weird code. I wonder why they pulled it from a forum...
Anyway, yeah, as you said, I can't find the internal storage listed in any way. You could try changing the external one, to whatever the internal storage is... I really have no clue how your tablet can even have internal storage with this code... Odd.
I want to swap my external sd memory to internal sd... on custom ROM (MIUI).
I have already tried some tweaks, but only result that did I get was unlimited bootanimation.
I did not test these tweaks with stock ROM, btw.
Here is my currently installed ROM link

Any advices?
P.S. I'm from Russia, and I think that my English is awful, so please don't shout on me xD :laugh:
Is it not the same method as in original CM9? If it is, then...
Settings>>storage>>[menu]>>storage configuration and check the box for 'use internal storage'....then reboot your phone....done
From my Galaxy W on CM9 and CWM6 with Tapatalk 2
Thanks, but...
I don't have this option... It's sad, because this version of MIUI is based on CM9...
but thanks anyway!
same here :crying:
I can't find 'use internal storage' menu in MIUI..
You have to press the menu switch when in storage to see this option
I can't find it
Can you make some screenshots of this setting..? T_T
You should take a look to this thread

You did the wrong thing you have to only change the sdcard and the external_sd and reboot that's it here is the screenshots.
Note: this works on every single rom for the sgw i have tried alot and all ended up with success, now i'm using the AOKP JB and it works.
And a tip: you'll lose your apps if they are on the sdcard so you should move them to phone memory==>swap==>then move to sdcard(external_sd)
and i personally like es file explorer as it is full of features and has root access, this is the vold in the /system/etc not the one in the /etc . i don't recommend messing up the one there just use the /system/etc for the moment

Doesn't working for me...
tried swapping like follows in MIUI5 based on stock rom of Micromax Canvas HD:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard0
// There is nothing like emms in my vold.fstab file.
So please help me. I am dying to swap. And if I am unable to swap then I have to switch back to stock ROM because I can't live without my games.
miui V5

for those who wish to swap sdcard with internal memory in miui V5
use LBE App to grant root acess then with any file manager go to /system and them edit the file "build.prop"
look for the line where there is something like "change to 1 for swaping sd card"
for further information look at the discussion thread of CM10.1 is the same process since this rom was based on it
I just did this and it works for me
She could anyone help with editing vold.fstab to exchange storage to the SD card as an internal storage? :good:

Location:
system/etc/vold.fstab
I still use ROM B116 , where you can set the internal storage , I would like to use ROM B118 , but there is the possibility to use the SD card as an internal storage is not .
Interestingly, vold.fstab is the same in the B116 and the B118
I do not understand
Hello,
can anyone upload the Vold.fstab from the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. I want to compare this to the Tab 3 7.0 one.
You can find it in /system/etc.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Ketut. As far as I can see, they are identical, if I ignore the different devices.
Is moving apps to sd supported on your Tab? I heard, that Samsung put it in again on 4.2.2 devices...

I have my own solution to swap internal - external storage using a modified sdcard binary. Internal storage mounted to /storage/.sdcard and then bind mount it to /storage/sdcard0 . When boot completed, after external storage mounted, my script will unmount both internal and external storage, and then bind mount internal storage to /storage/extSdCard and mount external storage to /storage/sdcard0 .

You mean fstab.pxa988?
Here are the contents of this:
Code:
## fstab has the following format:
##
## Any line starting with a # is a comment and ignored
##
## Any blank line is ignored
##
## All other lines must be in this format:
## <source> <mount_point> <fs_type> <mount_flags> <fs_options> <fs_mgr_options>
##
## <mount_flags> is a comma separated list of flags that can be passed to the
## mount command. The list includes noatime, nosuid, nodev, nodiratime,
## ro, rw, remount, defaults.
##
## <fs_options> is a comma separated list of options accepted by the filesystem being
## mounted. It is passed directly to mount without being parsed
##
## <fs_mgr_options> is a comma separated list of flags that control the operation of
## the fs_mgr program. The list includes "wait", which will wait till
## the <source> file exists, and "check", which requests that the fs_mgr
## run an fscheck program on the <source> before mounting the filesystem.
## If check is specifed on a read-only filesystem, it is ignored.
## Also, "encryptable" means that filesystem can be encrypted.
## The "encryptable" flag _MUST_ be followed by a : and a string which
## is the location of the encryption keys. I can either be a path
## to a file or partition which contains the keys, or the word "footer"
## which means the keys are in the last 16 Kbytes of the partition
## containing the filesystem.
##
## When the fs_mgr is requested to mount all filesystems, it will first mount all the
## filesystems that do _NOT_ specify check (including filesystems that are read-only and
## specify check, because check is ignored in that case) and then it will check and mount
## filesystem marked with check.
##

Hello @MechanicWB,
I had a look recently with Aroma File Manager in recovery and there was a different etc folder displayed.
If you were looking for the fstab file, here are it's contents.
Hope this will help you recover anything:
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /preload ext4 rw
/dev/null /sdcard datamedia rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd auto rw
