Hello,
I have just tested most of the custom roms (wildchild3, Kim's Mod, WhateverMod etc) comes with DUST V9 Overclocked Kernel. I used MiniPartitionTool and created (1gb Ex2 Primary, 512Mb Swap, 2.5GB Fat32 Primary Active).
All of the above Rom builds mentioned that they support SWAP partition. I just want to know that do i need any apk to Configure SWAP or those custom roms comes with pre-configured Swap support. Is there a tool to see swap stats?
As the title says? Is it worth it to flash my 64gb exfat to fat? Will it loose capacity? Or should I wait for kernels to support it...
Bullet kernel supports it
Perseous kernel supports it
The only diffrence is you will have a smaller max file size if u go to fat32

STOP! THIS MOD IS ONLY FOR SAMSUNG ROM! NOT WORKING ON ASOP, CM OR OTHER!
Hello folks,
i'm new of gs4 but not of android. I'm a php developer and I like to play with my android devices and Linux but I'm surely not a king on Linux little more than a newbie
But first of all i want to describe the scenario:
THE PROBLEM
Since in the past i had a desire hd and i had a normal management of internal memory and sd as separate process my problem is to have a similar management on my gs4. Also i have 16gb version of gs4 and i want install a lot of apps!!! Also i have a 64gb sd card available. I have noticed that my gs4 installs all on internal sd also and apps download all their resources on internal sd. So with some heavy games and heavy app the internal memory became quickly full!!!
THE SOLUTION
My aim so became to use the external sd as internal sd and internal sd ONLY for apps installation so became used as internal memory!
And... yes after a lot of testing and work i have to make this working!!! So now my 64gb external sd is used for all tasks which the internal sd was used and the internal sd is only used for apps storage!! All extra files (resources, caches, etc etc) are stored in my external SD!!
HOW TO GET IT >>> VERY SIMPLE
Download ExtSd2InternalSd here correct latest version for JB(4.3) or KK(4.4.2)
WHAT YOU NEED
International galaxy s4 (i9505) with root, insicure kernel and kernel with init.d support
External sd card class 4 or superior. (you can try with class 2 also and tell us how it goes)
Rom with init.d support (if not init.d support see below)
My file attached
THE GUIDE
First of all make a nandroid backup!! I'm not responsable for any problem! You make this procedure at your risk!!!
Changelog and upgrade steps in second post
Format external sd card from your pc as fat32 or extfat
Copy attached zip in you external sd. Choose the right zip. If you have formatted your sd as fat32 choose _fat32 version, if the filesystem is extfat choose _extfat version
Go into recovery
Flash the zip for your sd card file system
Reboot and....enjoy your memory increase!!!!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If you want to access to your INTERNAL SD you have to go with astro or ES filemangaer into /sdcard/intSdCard/0. Take attention to go into intSdCard
After the flash, please copy all content of /sdcard/intSdCard/0 to /sdcard to avoid file conflicts and files lost.
When you plug the phone to pc, the first sd is the external and you can access internal into intSdCard/0. DON'T TOUCH SECOND PARTITION SHOWED!
HOW CAN I CHECK IF ALL IS OK?
Is very simple.
With a file explorer with root ability go into /sdcard. Check If in this location you can see your files of your EXTERNAL SD card and check if you can see in /sdcard/intSdCard/0 the content of INTERNAL sd
If you want to remove the mod with a file explorer with root ability, delete the file 11extsd2internalsd from etc/init.d folder
IF YOU HAVE ISSUES
Please report:
Rom and kernel in use
the file system of external SD card and attach here
the log file stored in data/extsd2internalsd

Try to use a custom kernel with init.d support. Init.d support is required

Unfortunately it's not working for me. Phone just boots as normal, external card is still external and all my apps installed work as normal with their data still on internal SD.
Running foxhound 2.0 with faux beta. Kernel doesnt have exfat support so I only tried fat32. And yes, I installed foldermount and patched system.
Please keep working on this, would be excellent to have it working.
Wait up 2mins before check in /sdcard, mod needs to make a lot of stuffs after first boot

It is almost equal to yours so it should works but I don't know why not.
This mod is very complicated. For example a version which works for i9500 doesn't works to i9505 so... We have to wait for i9505 users feedback.
For me it's fully working from 5 days and finally I can feel the power of gs4!!!

Perhaps a Kernel problem ?
Hello Mattiadj,
I don't know why it doesn't work for me.
As a matter of fact, the system sees that i have 2 internal SD.
I have a Gt-i9505 (French version) rooted with CF-Auto Root.
I have init.d support with universal init.d
The Rom is samsung MH8.
I've installed Folder Mount and patched the system.
I think the problem might be a Kernel problem. Which one do you use ?
Thanks a lot.
PS: I used your patch when I had a GS 3, and it worked perfectly.
I am using this android 6.0 rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3240119
With 777 kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-777-kernel-t3003115
The kernel itself is support reading and write exFAT.....but after i flash it still can't read exFAT SD card
Does i miss some setting in the android rom?
Thank You
Hello everyone, I saw ''op3: Enable sdcardfs'' commit on CM13 nightlies changelog today. I read on the forums, it is about make read/write faster on devices which use emulated sd card (internal sd card), so my question is :
Is OnePlus 3 using emulated sd card? If it isn't, what is the advantage of having sdcardFS? For OTG?
Thanks.
