I'm wondering if I'm going to switch my rom from an internal based rom (weapon g2x) to an external (eaglesblood 2.3.5), do I need to change my cwm from internal to external support? I just got a new SD card so I'm ready for an external based rom finally. Do I just reflash reocvery for external? Move a folder?

Not necessarily. Just make sure if your recovery uses the internal memory that whatever rom you want to use is saved to the internal memory before you boot into recovery. Same goes for external memory/recovery.
Thanks for the response ... but isn't it true then that rom manager wont work because it'll be looking for it on the external? This was my experience last time, although it may have been because I didn't have an SD card either.

Just noticed this today myself. Glad to see that feature added. This question comes up regularly, almost as much as "how do I root 2.3.3" lol. Now it will be simpler to explain how to flash a zip from clockwork.

Do you have a removable micro sd card inserted in the TF?
CWM will NOT read internal sd card
ahhhh no i do not i was not aware of that ....Thanks

I've read a couple of threads that said DO NOT partition your SD card with CMW, but it pointed towards an older version 3.x I believe. Is this still a problem with the latest version and if I do would it wipe my SD card completely?

You can partition your sd with either twrp or CWM.. Back everything up cause it will wipe your card.
I've partitioned with both the newest version of CWM, and TWRP. Both work fine. Although I prefer TWRP. Reason being it allows you to choose almost any size partition you want.
So backup,backup,backup. But as far as bricking my phone, it's not so much a problem anymore?

If you mean "Bricking" your device by partitioning your card. I highly doubt that. Just follow the instructions of SD Card partitioning you should be fine. THIS guide here has instructions on how to partition your SD Card.

Mounted sd card

Hello Developers and life savers,
After I updated to EOS 117 update for JB in my WINGRAY, I have lost my SD CARD Storage in recovery both internal and external. Now I can't update or flash anything because I keep getting "Can't mount SD" in recovery.
I would really appreciate anyone's help please bear in mind that I'm a noob.
Thankfully

Your sd card is located at /storage/sdcard1
My issue is I cannot titanium backup to write to it.

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:
Download and Details:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
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).
Nevermind, I thought it was a data2sd type thing, not just an SD swap. This is very nice! I prefer everything to be on my external card!
How do you know if your card is exfat or fat32?

I use GL to SD for that. I think the mod is a great idea, but after seeing so many non-readers, surely some Rom flashers will format the wrong partition and bring their blame to the devs...sad really.
What I would like to see is a mod that brings back android 2.x "move app to SD" functionality.

If you have a microsd card adapter (i highly recommend having one), plug it into your computer and do right click->properties for windows, others should be similar. Go google it.
Thanks man! Been wanting this since day 1 and almost started regretting getting a 16gb S3.
Downloading now and will be testing out in my FAT32 64gb sdcard on Synergy 1.7.
EDIT: should have investigated further about what this is doing.
Note that if you want to delete, you must use a ROOT Explorer, and Enable Both Root and Mounting of System to delete the file.

If you play a lot of games, GTA is like almost 1GB, the real 16GB internal only provides 10GB in reality, meaning if you play more than 10 games like GTA you run out of space real quick.
But I don't use that much space.
I'm not very found of kernels yet, but I'm running synergy ROM r50 does this change my system to a supported kernel?

It will only work if the kernel in synergy has int.d support...i believe it does but dont quote me.
OK, can I flash it anyways to test if it works or will it soft brick me if I don't have the kernel?

Yes, will not harm even a bird.
Can I flash this even if my current SD Card has data on it or do I need to format and delete all data on my card before using this?

You can, but my advise is to start fresh with an empty SD card so you don't get confused later.
I flashed this at the same when flashing Bean's latest and greatest. So now I see the SDcard and EXTSDcard show the same files and the same size. How can I browse the Internal SD? It does not appear when I plug it in my computer or when browsing using Root Explorer or Astro

Might be not compatible with Bean's. That happens when the script isn't working correctly, you should see two different sizes.
