Swap internal sd card with external sd card? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Been searching for a method that works with no luck, tried editing vold.fstab, tried a couple apps from the market but no luck. Im running PAC-MAN 4.3 nightlies with ktoonsez kernel. I have a 32gb SD formatted to ext....can someone help me do this?
Here is my View attachment vold.fstab.zip if you need it.

I had to do that with my Galaxy Ace IIx s7560m. I used kylesrom SD Swap add-on flashable zip thingie.

tried it and it did nothing.

I'm trying scripts with Smanager...
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /sdcard
mount -o bind /data/media /extSdCard
but I get this message mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:33 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument

No one knows?

I'm having the same problem with my sandisk 64gb (formatted exfat) since I updated to jellybean.
I never went back to icecream sandwitch to double check though.
The room doesn't seem to make any difference, so it's the kernel.
I was just about to post something similar since I ran out of ideas.

Backup ext partition

Hi.
I've just bought a new memory card for my hero. Therefore I would like to know if it is possible to backup the est partition I have so I don't loose all my installed programs?

Hi,
I suggest theses command lines :
For that you should use adb sdk from :
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/sdk/index.html
For BACKUP:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
tar cvf /sdcard/ext3.tar *
For RESTORE:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
tar xvpf /sdcard/ext3.tar

first backup you all your apps to your PC in a folder of your choice, once you are done .
partition your new sdcard, once partitioning is done. just follow this guide:

[Q] Can't mount /sdcard?

I might be showing my noobness tonight, but for some reason I cannot mount my sdcard via adb. It mounted the system just fine. Here's the error I get:
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Device or resource busy
~ # mount /system
It sounds like the sd card is being used by something but if I'm in recovery how is that possible? I've heard people in other threads talk about dead sd cards but mine works fine other than this. Any ideas?
No one? No one's had this problem?
What command are you using to mount? Try just adb remount, not in shell. It should mount everything if it's not mounted. I have never had this issue.

Found the problem, clockwork already mounted it... whoops

[Q] Need help to execute script to switch internal memory with 64GB card for Note 2

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889). I found a script online which had instruction to execute with script manager (SManager). The file is called app2sdNote2.bin. When I run SManager and located the script, I select Su and Boot. When I select Run, SManager just hangs forever until I kill the process. The grant message never appears. I would like to run the script to use my 64 GB memory card as the default storage. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Q]Unable to Install App2SD card script

So I was downloading an app, when I noticed I was running out of space, so I tried to do the App2SD card script, yet it wont work. I get this when I try to run it in Script Manager (I have BusyBox installed):
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:17 on /mnt/sdcard failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:17 on /mnt/sdcard failed: No such file or directory
My rom is the Sungsonic HD 3.0, Help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Internal/External Memory Swap

So, I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 Running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1, and I'd like to trick it into thinking my 64GB SdCard is the Internal Memory.
So far, by using Script Manager, and this Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated/0
busybox mount -t exfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated/0
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:33; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard1
fi
I put it here: /system/etc/init.d
And tested it here: /data/
Running this makes all my apps stop working, and after a minute can no longer access the settings even.
When I plug it into a computer however, it is reading my Internal storage as the 64GB Card.
Any help is Appreciated!
This is some code I found and edited, so I'm not entirely sure of the Mechanics behind it.
