Does anybody know of a app, script, or mod that actually works for switching the internal sd mount for the external sd? I have tried four or five apps, two or three scripts and a couple mods with no success. I just bought a 32b gb card basically it is useless if I can't switch the storage. Thanks for any input.
Moderator please close thread I figured out the solution myself. Thanks In case anybody doesn't know this the easiest way to switch your internal storage to external is change the vold.fstab file in system/etc. First find dev_mount sdcard /storage/ sdcard0 28 and change it to sdcard1 28. Then change dev_mount external_sd /storage/sdcard1 to sdcard0 and reboot. Now your external sd is the internal sd =alot more space
Hi
I will swap memories on my Ace 2.
But I would know how to move apps on USB storage (which will be my SD Card).
If i part my sd card in ext2, can I make 2 partitions (9GB & 5GB) ? And does Link2SD will "know" that my USB Storage is my SD Card?
Thanks

1: In system settings select apps/[name]/"move to SD", or in Link2SD use the button with the same name. This moves part of the app to the internal (external after swapping) FAT partition and doesn't work for every app.
2: In Link2SD use the "symlink" features and the app will always go to the external ext2/3/4 partition.
Hello,
Phone: Samsung galaxy grand i9080L.
Now the question:
Am i able to make a single partition of internal storage? Because the phone came with 8 gb but it have 2 partitions on the internal memory, "System" and "Internal SD" , I just wanna a single one to control better things and as if i move to "SD" Its going to the internal SD and the external (MicroSD) Is not on use -_-

You cannot use the system partition as it's reserved for the OS.Don't mess up with it, doing so may/will brick your phone If you are on Stock or ANY ROM with App2SD support you can move apps to External SD Card. Check whether your ROM supports App2SD or not.

I can't, that's why, app2sd move em' to "sdcard0" which means (in my phone) emulated/0/ (Folder) and not to the external sd card. Already tryied many ways and still same, and well so.
What i wanted to do? as "system" is the internal storage i wanted to merge it with "emulated" which is the internal storage but in a partition to emulate a External SD Card so if its only 1 internal storage the microSD will work as it should work, because on my older phone(Ice mobile apollo touch) I was able to see apps, data, etc, on microsd as only had 1 internal storage.. Now as the sdcard is even in the internal , the external is empty. Its a problem too for cracked applications that need data/obb.

4.2.2 supossed to be stock, downloaded from sammobile to my operator/country as my ROM was literaly "f*ck*d" for a stupid thing i did so.
I just searched GT-i9080L and the latest android(4.2.2) was the one i downloaded, btw, the partition came with the phone, wasn't made by me or a rom and also, the phone didn't come new, i bought it from 2nd hand.
In Grand Internal memory will be shown as sdcard0 and External memory will be shown as sdcard1. Is external storage i.e. Sdcard1 mounting for you?

If i use a explorer i can only see 2. SDCard and internal memory, if i search through internal memory i'll find a folder called emulated, inside, another called 0, inside, all the things that should be on sdcard, which means that this "emulated" emulates a sdcard inside the phone. and yeah, external sd = sdcard1.
internal sd(emulated) = sdcard0
internal memory = internal memory o.o
External is actually /extSdcard on stock ROMs afaik.

I know right, but it isn't used as Sdcard, the sdcard that it uses its a emulated sdcard INSIDE the internal memory.

Hello, how is it with internal storage?
after wipe all except external SD there is still only 25GB instead of 32... does it mean, that external SD isnt SD but that internal storage?
Some of internal storage is reserved for rom files so because of that is available 25gb. External SD isn't internal storage it is SD card.
so it is normal to have really ONLY 25G?
Is there a rom or mod that would let me swith the internal/external memory so that my 64gb sd card would show as internal memory and the 16gb intenal memory would show as external sd card? Install a couple of larger games and I'm full.
Thanks.
No, not only that it would require a rooted device.
If you're already prepared to root your device there are already solutions to the problem. Link2sd pro and folder mount can both fulfill your need.
