I am running kebbersrom_cmflex1.5 with the script to swap internal memory with sdcard.
My problem is that several programs start before the script is run, this causes a problem as these programs access the internal memory and not the sdcard thus not finding their data.
My question is how might I prioritize things so that the script runs before everything else.
I set the script up using smanager, with boot and root checked.
Any help or ideas would be great.
Thanks

You could manually add a call into the ramdisk so it should run on early init, placed after storage but before the rest of init. You'll need to open the boot.IMG make the changes then put it back together then fastboot flash it on.
Alternately and probably easier is set it up for init.d use, it'll start later but run before any app can so anything as its still during the sys init.
Both can cause boot to hang, so make a backup first.

This sounds promising. How might I go about setting it up for init.d use?

Depends on the script you're using, placing it in /etc/init.d and naming it something like 99swap may work.

Has to be in init.d not just /etc to be picked up. Iirc the mounts aren't correct since its for ICS, this may be part of your issue.

I tried the one for JB. Problem was upon restoring my programs none of them could see their data as the JB script uses sdcard0, all my previous programs were set to look for /mnt/sdcard.
And crossix's script works, as that is what I was using with my previous rom. The only problem I have is the script didn't load soon enough. Hopefully moving it to init.d will change that.
Do I need to drop the .sh on the end of the script when I move it?

Well init.d scripts don't usually have extensions, so drop it and see if it works, or leave it on and see, just experiment with it.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
So I went ahead and copied it into the init.d folder.
Seems to almost work.
Boots up seeing the sdcard as the internal memory.
But both evernote and swiftkey seem to load first. They seem so far like the only two.
So I've lost all my notes from evernote even though I still have them all. :'(
And I can't find anyway to redirect evernote to the sdcard to pick up my notes. Just errors out.
swiftkey says that my language packs can't load.
If there was a way to redirect evernote it would all be livable. Even if I had to redirect it every time I reboot.
I've rebooted several times and doesn't seem to change anything for evernote.
I suppose I'll have to uninstall it and then re install it to see if that works.
Thanks

***Warning Dragons Ahead!!***
Do this at your own risk, it will not void your warrantee but it may make your device unresponsive and cause other issues that I haven't discovered yet! Also, DO NOT at any point attempt to use the unmount sdcard found in your storage settings and DO NOT take your micro sdcard out while your tablet is on, doing these things will cause your apps to fc and potentially loose data. This has been tested only for the Iconia A100 and other devices will probably have different mount points.
It's working great for me but your results may vary, I am not responsible for any damage or problems you might encounter by using this mod (very unlikely that you'll have problems though).
What this mod does:
Since this particular tablet only has 5.4gb of internal storage, I thought it would be great to use my external sd (which is much larger) to install app data and everything else on. So this mod will dirty swap your External micro sd card with your internal memory and vice versa. By dirty swap I mean that the original mount points are untouched and I've just re-bound the mount points to different locations in the tablet. Not the ideal way of doing it, but it works and since we can't touch our init its just about our only option.
It will also speed up your sdcard's read and possibly write speeds by increasing the sdcard's cache.
Requirments: (things you'll need before doing this mod)
You'll need to be rooted, have root explorer installed and of course a micro sd card in your tab:
Instructions:
- Download and unzip the attached file and put it in the root of your internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard)
- Open root explorer and navigate to /mnt/sdcard (if its not already there) tap and hold on the file install_recovery.sh and pick the copy option
- Now navigate to the /etc folder tap the Mount r/w button
- Find the install_recovery.sh file tap and hold it, then select the option rename. Change the name to install_recovery.bak and then tap paste to copy over the new file.
Now look just under the file, you'll see the date and permissions, it should say something like rwxrwxrwx if it does not you'll need to tap and hold the file tap permissions and check all three boxes for read and execute.
Once you've done the above steps reboot and wait about a minute after your tab comes up, goto settings and look at your storage space to see if the internal space size has changed.
To reverse just delete the install_recovery.sh file, rename the backed up one and reboot. If you decide to keep this mod, you'll want to copy the contents of /mnt/external_sd to /mnt/sdcard so you dont loose any of your app data. Also, you'll no longer need GL 2 SD or any other mod to fetch data from your micro sdcard.
Note: if you have problems deleting or writing to /mnt/external_sd after doing this mod, in root explorer goto /mnt press Mount R/W tap and hold on external_sd and choose permissions. Make sure that all boxes for read and write are checked.
You can use this in conjunction with ICS, its been tested and works great (actually improved my bench scores in antutu benchmark). You can merge the system r/w mod with this one to keep your system read /writable (in ICS) just add the system r/w commands to the end of this install-recovery.sh file.
Thank you! This Mod is greatly appreciated. I'll give it a go once my hangover settles down

Works like a champ. Awesome.
crossix,
...thanks a bunch for this mod, it works great, I've tested a number of apps and scenarios and so far so good.
I reviewed the original install_recovery.sh and noticed that it's there for some sort of firmware / recovery updates. ...so since we replaced the script I'm wondering if it will prevent future firmware upgrades, or more importantly could it prevent an emergency restore / recovery.
Perhaps merging your script with the original would be beneficial?
...any thoughts on this?
Thanks again for your effort on this, FredT
I don't forsee any issues, unless you get an ota update, then you'll need to redo this mod.
The system runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot and would normally check the recovery partition for files changed outside of an ota update (ie viruses or cwm). If a file gets changed this script would run at boot and restore it's origional recovery.
Normally in order to get cwm or any other custom recovery to "stick" you would need to delete this file (or delete it's contents) so that your modded recovery wouldn't be overwritten on the next boot.
An OTA update will overwrite the install-recovery.sh file and you may have to follow the above instructions again (or it may even break my mod). I'm still running the origional stock rom (3.2) and haven't tested this mod on the newer versions.

what format for the SDCARD
so I got a new large SDCard to use for this setup... I bought it off a buddy and it is formated as EXT4 already. I'm going to reformat it, what is the best format to use with HC ? EXT4 or something else?
Thanks FredT
Unfortunatly only fat32 will work, I've tried formatting & mounting the sdcard as ext2, 3 and 4, but couldnt get the tab to mount it automatically.
Thank you a million times can finally put all my gameloft games on the sd card without having to delete others.
I don't have install_recovery.sh I have a init_goldfish.sh
And the etc folder you are talking about, is it the one in system or the one just under the main root of the device (/etc or /system/etc)? I only bring that up because I thought it odd I had two "almost" identical etc folders!?! One in /system and one under /.
Either way, I don't have a install_recovery.sh file. only the init_goldfish.sh file. Any thoughts on this?
/etc is actually a symlink to /system/etc so they are one in the same.

Yup, you can just copy all of the contents from /mnt/external_sd back to /mnt/sdcard and everything should be good.

Looks to be more of a Audible thing vs. storage, but if anyone has any thoughts on working around this, that'd be great
OK... Weird thing. I have about 3gb free space in my micro SD card, 2.5gb of real internal memory, but only 880mb free for application space. Is it just me?

You might want to take a look at the SD mount swap by crossix. It mounts your SD card as internal, so if you have a 32gb card you get 32gb internal storage. Well after formatting and android taking space its like 29gb but you get my point. Here's a screenshot of it running on mine, note internal storage.

Yeah it seems to be tricky for some people to get going. I'll assume you use an Acer based ICS and not CM9 like I used for my screenshot, but download the zip, extract the install-recovery.sh file, paste it into /system/etc so it looks like /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then set permissions, uncheck every box, save. Re open permissions and set it to
XXX
XXX
XXO
Save.
Reboot, wait a minute. Like seriously a minute, not a few seconds. Then check storage. Depending what file manager you use you will have to mount system as writable, in root explorer its a R/W button up top, in ES file manager its in settings, check root explorer, allow root, mount system as writable check box. Others may be different but I've uses those two and it works.
If you use CM9 its different, but I can walk you through that method as well.

You could manually move the files from /sdcard/com.zinio.mobile.android.reader to /mnt/external_sd, but when you try to access the magazine again from Zinio it will redownload the files to the original location. If you do not have an available internet connection, then the pages will display as all black. There is not a single file that you can select to open the magazine in Zinio, the magazine is downloaded as seperate apdfs, jpgs, and html files.

From what I know, on Android 4.2, system moves all the file in sdcard directory to sdcard0 directory. This means that all the apps that rely heavily on sdcard directory will not recognize the files now. I heard that you can simply just cut and paste all the file, but good luck with that. It'll take forever

Already tried that. No go.
Can't view them or can't pull them to PC?
I read that CWM was creating a /0/ partition every time you flash, so if you flash several times you could end up looking like /0/0/0/0/0/sdcard/. Kouche is supposedly fixing the issue, maybe he already did. In addition to not finding your media, if you needed to restore a backup in a pinch you would be effed. Only passing on what I read.
Patience...
On the first boot after reflash, the media scanner needs to go through one full run-through, and then your media apps have to clue in. Give it another reboot or two and it'll be fine.
However it sounds like you impatiently diddled with it as many flashers do... so I have no idea what state it's in by now
I had the same problem on my nexus 7, just deleting everything on sdcard except for the 0 folder and copying everything in 0 to sdcard did the trick for the data itself, but I still have to start over with games while the files are there. Trying to figure that one out now.

This is real confusing for me but i noticed it started after i installed JellyBeer, i switch back and forth between JellyBeer and stock and Vectus. Vectus and stock both use the same memory but jellyBeer has its own little thing goin on. TWRP also uses the second 0 folder as its main instead of the actual main one, ES Explorer uses the main one, SMS Backup And Restore uses the second one, MyBackup Root uses the main one after i set it to, and on and on with apps that deal with files. Only one that works right no matter what is music, even download folder is wrong. Any suggestions???, if u understand what im trying to say. Also theres another copy of everything in the data/media folder. So in total i have 3x as much space token from me.

The 0 folder is a feature of AOSP ROMs. It has something to do with the multiple user support of JB. When you flash an AOSP rom, it will create a "0" folder for that specific ROM. Even with an app like Root Explorer, getting into the standard SDCard folder will be basically impossible. I personally have not found a way to do this, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I could. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. If you flash a Stock ROM, a la Lifeless 14, you can go into any and all "0" folders. If you take the time, you can go into each and every one and delete it without any harm to your phone without having to do a factory reset.

The script is pointing to the wrong location for SD card Dev/block/vold/179:25. If you are familiar with Odin and comfortable with the possibility of bricking or rendering your tablet unbootable, try editing that to 179:17 and running the script. I don't guarantee that will work, but that is the address of my ext SD running cm11 on a sm-t310.
Yours may be different on a 210. Run mount from terminal and hunt for the 179:XX for sdcard1 and verify before trying though.

Run the command "mount" without quotes in terminal . Look for your sd card
And which device address it's using. Verify that 170:17 is your device node.

I was wondering if you got it working. I noticed there is not much information about these tabs, compared to the tab 2, which is the last gtab I had. I bought my sons kids tab assuming it would have similar support. All that was really important was root/recovery and some sort of memory swap, as I loaded it with many of the games I have on my 32gb tab. I took back a nabi because sometimes the memory swap I was using wouldn't stick on reboot, and getting it going again would be to much for my 4 year old. Anyways, glad you got it going.

yeah, that is the same as mine. and it worked for me instantly. I have a 32 gb card, so maybe your 64 gb card is the issue. I wish I could help you more, but I'm just not too knowledgeable about this stuff.
Maybe one of the guys that helped me could jump in?
Good Luck

First of all you need to be rooted. Then you need to grant es file explorer superuser permission when it asks. then you go into /data folder. You should see a lot of files/folders in there. If you can't you probably aren't using es file explorer as a rooted user. Then you long select the script and select properties. then change permissions by checking read, write, execute (all 3 should be checked) under the owner option. Then so to smanager and continue the tut
