Hi guys, i tried some tutorial founded around the forums, but still not able to swap the internal memory of my device (Samsung Galaxy J100H already rooted) with the external sd memory card that has a second partition in vfat32.
I tried with "external 2 internal sd" app, but nothing happens.
I tried to look after the Vold.fstab in system/etc/ but this file doesn't exist on my model, probably mounting point etc. are located differently so i don't know how to find e modify the script.
Someone could help with this? Thank you for now. (hope this is the right section to post)

i was wondering, when we can get ASOP/AKOP or CM9/10 we can re-partition the glide to have only system partition and the extranal sd card can act as the internal one. we all know that the 8GB is not enough, especially with 2gb system and 6gb sd card - i have 2gb in system and 4gb in sd card - but if we can combine it to full partition then it will be more then enough as a basic install space - cos allot of apps can be moved to sd card and leave little room on the system partition.
It's already possible to change the mount points so that your physical sd card is mounted as /sdcard, and the internal storage takes its place at /sdcard/external_sd. It's a quick vold.fstab edit. You can see my post about it here, with a pre-modified file and a backup of the original.
You'll need root and busybox (or some form of file explorer with root permissions) to copy the file over, but it's pretty straightforward. As for repartitioning the internal storage to be used for /data, I've got no clue how to do that, but this is a reasonable enough workaround.
i know about that workaround but still there some side effects to it, like the usb mounting in the PC.
still i think its doable if creating aosp from source with cross with our ics source from samsung..
maybe a more knowledgeable dev can shed some light on the subject.
Changing the actual partitioning isn't something that's commonly done, as it can wreck compatibility with roms (including official updates) that expect things a certain way. The only issue in ICS with the vold.fstab edit is the internal memory isn't mounted on the phone at boot, you have to manually mount it any time you reboot. MTP file transfers work just fine (with your physical sdcard being labeled Phone and the internal labeled Card) as does the legacy USB Mass Storage mode.
If you really want to mess with it, look into partition editing using parted. This can go very very wrong, and may not work at all, so proceed with caution.
i see thanks for the info
Hello guys,
I'm now to the SGN2 forum and my first question is, how to modify the vold.fstab file to change internal memory with sdcard.
I know what to do, because on my previous phone, the Note One, I made this everytime I flashed a new ROM. Because 10GB are too low for internal memory. I changed them because I have a 32GB sdcard.
That was never a problem but this time there is one.
In the vold.fstab file is an entry for the external sdcard. And also for some USB OTG devices, but there is no entry for the internal memory?
Anyone knows how to solve that?
Thanks in advance!
Please help .....I could not move files my photo,music,video & apps files from my Samsung Note II internal memory(sdcard0) to external memory 16GB(ExtsdCard) .Everytime I try - it says "moving failed" .I even tried to install apps that do this task like "Move2SD" app. that also did not work.. after searching I could not find anything related to how to move files from internal(sdcard0) to external(ExtsdCard) more worst....I cannot even make folders on the ExtsdCard. Everytime I try - it says "creation failed" .Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks....etc. Regards .:crying:
I guess you could take the ex sdcard out of the note2 and put it into your computer. Create the folders you want. then connect your note 2 to the computer. Copy the files from the note2 to the ex sdcard. When finished put the ex sdcard back into your note2.
Hope that helps.

You CANNOT natively move apps to the ext. SD card on the Note II OR the Galaxy S III. There are no apps that will work to do this on these phones any longer. Search the forums for the MOD to sway your Internal and External SD cards if you want but it seems that you have a 16G card and also a 16G device correct? If so then this mod really wont do much for you to save storage space...
Moving failed, or delete failed.

Please note that files was mentioned. He(??) did not try to move an app. He tried to move data in a folder. Why can't that be done when there is a settings menu under My Files that allows you to re-direct those same folders?
I am having the same problem after I tried the SManager with the apps2Note2 script. It worked for 2 days then all of a sudden the swap was gone with my files and folders missing. I know they have to be there somewhere but I can't find them on the system anywhere. I believe it may have changed my storage mount settings when it became corrupt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled with know luck of the swap happening again.
I may have to Reinstall my ROM. I wish I could repair it.
I would surmise that you have a faulty card

Hi,
I'm trying to swap the internal and external sd-card in probam4 but changing the vsold-file as well another tool from play-store failed (got the internal Memory as internal and external).
Anyone tried this already with success? If yes - how to do it?
Thanks,
Stefan

Also this works best with redpil kernal

Doesn't work as expected
Hi,
thanks for the hint. I tried to flash the kernel as well as the mod.
Now the internal as well as the external card is pointing to the external sd card. With other tools I had a similar effect but there both where pointing to the internal card.
Any idea how I can solve this?
Thanks!
Stefan
Mine is working fine.Follow op step by step
Script for ProBAM 4
Hi,
I had to change the generated script a bit and now it works. If someone else has the same trouble please replace the file in /etc/init.d with the attached one (after unpacking)..
As ever - do it at your own risk and create a backup before replacing the file.
Best Regards,
Stefan
hoping someone can help. I have a tab 3 T210 running 4.4.2. Its rooted. I wanted to know if theres a way to set apps/games downloaded from playstore direct to ext sd card. Internal memory is small and fills up. I have a 32gb ext sd card and want to use it. already used folder mount to improve it. But hope a way to download direct to ext sd to save more space
1. Wrong category.
2. Nope there isnt a way. The best way is FolderMount really.
Folder mount is great for storing the files on yr extSdcard and able to save space, ive used it for years..
Try Apps2Sd or
Links2sd
I think these are what your looking for
Moved to correct board
