[MOD]App2ExtSD2 [Works for all U.S. Galaxy S3!]

This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.
All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).
E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.
Before you can use this, you will need:
1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)
2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!
3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.
4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)
To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:

If you are on stock ROM or any TouchWiz-based ROMs, you can flash my new HighOnAndroid kernel to get init.d support on your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30718496
If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:
I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!
How to disable this:
If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.
OR
if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).

Sounds awesome thanks

MAX TO THE RESCUE!!! I've been waiting to see this! Much love Zedo, I always hold it down for you with my signature links! I really hope your going to come back to YouTube one day though. But. in the meantime I'm glad your still putting all of your content out there for us!

Is it best to wipe first, or will this move all the app data from the internal to the external for you?

It is best to do a wipe to start on a clean slate, or you can also copy the contents of your internal to external.
OR, I like using Titanium Backup to backup app and its data then restore after putting in the microSD card.

it works great, thanks for the mod, will report if I find any problem w/ it.

Great work max! I was using stock rooted rom.. Now I need to look for one I like that has int d support.
Thanks for this though appreciate it!

Would it be possible for you to create a Stock kernel with just the init.d supporthe?

My SD card is reporting "vFat" as the type......is that FAT32 or EXTFAT or neither? lol

yes let me see if i can upload it tomorrow

Is there a way to tell what first the sd card is from the phone? Not really sure on what first it is

When I use Camera to take picture, picture are not stored
Anyone else has the same problem, or could you please test the Camera.
I didn't to the clean wipe.

I meant format. Sorry about that. Autocorrect got me again.

This is great! I'm curious if this mod sticks if I flash an updated/new rom? Do I need to flash this zip after I flash the rom? Also, what happens if I wipe my phone when I have this mod? Do I need to re flash as well?

Xperia PLAY very low internal storage HELP!

Hi my internal memory on my Xperia PLAY is 1.7 mb and everything is sooo slow and freezing and I can't even get into applications to delete apps. What can I do??? it's so frustrating!

HELP ME!!! Someone come on!!!

you can use link2sd it lets you move the apps to a ext partition... obviously you have to format first

But my phone is freezing and I can't access anything at all!

so you have only two options
1. you've saved all your data and flash a fresh install of a ftf so you can do the process with link2sd
2. conect to pc if you can and delete some data (music, pictures....) and see if you can with that
3. I don't know what else .... sorry

Okay thanks for that. Do I need root to use link2sd

If u dont care about the data being lost why dont u flash a stock .ftf it usually is a good back up. But of course your bootloader must be unlocked. Actually abit of info regarding your set up (kernel,rom, unlocked bootloader or not) will help us help you

Yes you do. You also need to create a partition on your SD card if you are going to link your apps to it
