Problem:
After Upgrading to 0224 official MSI ROM, you'll have a new issue with the SD card, it means your SD card is totally unusable and all the apps know the internal 4GB memory (in fact about 2GB) as the primary and the only alternative memory of device, so all related data files will be on "storage/Android/data/".
Solution:
With this modification we'll completely switch the Internal Storage of the device (4GB) with your External SD card (up to 32GB) and after this all the data files will be on "External SD/Android/data/"; but the only issue is for the labels, after switching:
4GB Internal Storage as external_sd ("/mnt/extrenal_sd')
(up to)32GB External SD as flash or sdcard ("/mnt/storage")
Requirements:
1- Root access (use Gingerbreak, see here)
2- Root Explorer or any app you can modify the file "/system/etc/vold.fstab" with
3- Overwriting the attached file or simply changing the codes as below and Reboot:
Before:
Code:
dev_mount flash /mnt/storage 1 /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/mtdblock9
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
After:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/mtdblock9
dev_mount flash /mnt/storage 1 /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
talk about persistence...
Many thanks goldie, I will try this out later.

Is this SD card problem still an issue with the latest 0306 firmware? I'm about to upgrade.

How do you move apps and data to to external sd card on P920?
My internal sd card is full, so bought an external one, but can't move any of the apps to external, every-time I try "move to sd card" gives out error memory is full no space to move. I know internal is full but how can I ask it to move it to external? Which for the moment is sitting there doing nothing.
Thanks
You can't move apps to the ext. SD, just to internal sd card. The ext. SD is for your music, pics, videos,...

There is an app on the play store called GL to SD .. that should help get large games and large apps onto your new ext SD card

if you have rooted your fone, use Titanium Backup to move them batch from internal memory to SD card using the "batch" option.

Thanks all, will try some of those suggestions, but I would have thought a rom with that feature is a must.
Yes my phone is rooted, could I not rename external sd card to act as internal and mv internal to backup or something? or combine both the external and internal as one large space? I've barely begun to add things yet.
There is an app called Directory Bind. With this app you can move entire directories to ext_sd. Just google it, or pm me. Than I search for the link the time I come home again.

Titanium Backup (and the Android system) can move apps from the internal memory to the internal SDcard but they cannot move apps from the internal SDcard to the external SDcard, I think.
maybe you need move some movies or photos to external SD card instead of the apps
Swap cards
Hi,
You can swap your external and internal cards.
Need root.
Copy everything from internal card to external card.
Install ES File Explorer.
In Settings-->Tick Mount File System
Tick Up to root
Tick Root Explorer
Click Up to get to root
Goto system
Goto etc
Click on vold.fstab-->Open As text
You should back up this file just in case
Change the following 2 lines:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
to:
dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0
Save
Reboot

Not working for me, i'm using GB 21e, do i have to change other file, i.e.default.prop, build.prop, etc
Thank you
When I mount my phone, it gives me only my external SD card. But I want to mount my internet SD card. Because I want to flash cm9.
Anyone know how to mount internal SD?

MT4GS doesn't have any internal SD Card
Oh...Well My external SD card 1 was a FAT32 system. Couldnt mount on Clockworkmod, I used my SD card2 with FAT system and it worked(But ran out of space when backing up..). Tried using my SDcard1 and it couldnt create a path for nandroid. So basically my SDcard1 is corrupted :\
Okay I used to have a script that would run on my phone everytime I turned it on, and it would make it so that the internal memory used my sd card instead of the internal. Like.. it would swap internal with my external sd card.. Anyone know how to do this? I remember it was just a few commands I put into a script manager that ran at boot up. I have very low internal memory so I need to use my sd card to install apps. I am using android 4.1.2 currently rooted.
I've read things talking about editing the vold.fstab file? But every tutotirla or guide I see is different and doesnt match the file I have. The lines my vold.fstab have are..
# automount external sd card
dev_mount sdcard /storage/external_SD auto /
devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
Now what exactly would I need to change here so that my external swaps with my internal?
No one? Seriously? someones gotta know what im talking about....
Hi everyone!
I've installed CM10 (4.1.2) from SD card. Now I want use device without SD card. But applications don't work without external SD card (No external storage available). I suppose this is because CM swapped internal storage with the SD card.
Now I want swap it back.
I've found vold.fstab file located in /system/etc folder. It contains:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1
Please help.
Best regards,
Alex
