HI, I'm running Android 4.0.3 tablet, and I'd like help with using my External SD as my Internal SD, and vice versa. That is when I select to "Move to SD" it moves games to my external SD instead of my Internal SD
I have 3 places stuff gets stored:
Internal Memory (0.98GB)
Internal SD (2.00 GB)
External SD (16.00GB)
I've been reading some threads on how to do this, but I keep on failing, or it isn't compatible with my device [Prestigio PMP3270B]
Here's what my vold.fstab looks like:
Code:
## Vold 2.0 fstab for HTC Passion

How should I edit this to achieve what I want to?
Many thanks!:good:

Pull void.fstab then edit with Text Editor and edit these lines:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/nandj
dev_mount extsd /mnt/extsd auto /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.1/mmc_host /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.0/mmc_host
to
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/extsd auto /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.1/mmc_host /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.0/mmc_host
dev_mount extsd /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/nandj
Then push again to /etc folder and reboot. Make sure you've got nandroid backup/ways to restore the tab in good state in case anything goes wrong. Hope that helps!

I had good experience with this trick listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772234
One disclaimer - worked great on mu Galaxy S3 so may be it
will work on you r tablet also.
My unit is an LG Optimus 3D Cube (SU870) running on official ICS. I need help editing the vold.fstab file so that the phone would swap the internal SD with the External SD.
This is what's currently in my vold.fstab

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help
Ok, guys. I have a question hopefully some with more experience can answer.
In the file above I made a swap and renamed:
_ExternalSd to sdcard
sdcard to _InternalSD
But I didn't try it out because ICS came out and I lost interest for a bit.
That would, hopefully, make the external SD card the main card and more games could be installed.
Would that swap make any problems? Any downsides of this swap?
hi
i have this galaxy s3 clone . it has realy small internal sd card size . and it got filled too soon .. later i was unable to install most heavy apps .. like sygic etc as they complained of low space .. even there was a 16gb micro sd card there .. but non of the app that would complain of little memory would see this external sd card . so i thought to somehow swap the internal with external ..
i edited to vold.fstab file and after few tries hit the right choice .
here is the original vold.fstab file

the editing is highlighted .
so far i have not faced any issue .. even my sd card is class 4 sandisk . but i plan to upgrade to class 10 ..
so far no negative/ill effect that i have noticed ..
and all of my proleblems of low disk space are solved an i am happlily installing all apps that once refused ..
now the internal 2gb sd card will be shown as sdcard2 .. you can use it as usual ..
however the internal /data partition is still the same .. so it will get full at the same rate .. i am waiting for some expert to increase it .. by somhow shrinking the /cache partition and taking some space from /system partition and also assigning the now freed sd card sapce to /data .
Can't see any editing... Is it right?
i cant see any different
Hi!
I bought a microSD 32GB and want to install game which I before can't play because Optimus has only 8GB space.
I've got Jelly Cream Sandwich V3 with Shazo's Kernel, every data was installed on sdcard, another like Bard's Tale on __externalSD. I'm try to bind directory in Lucky Patcher, in Directory Binder, in GL2SD. Maybe is the way to standard install app data on this ExternalSD?
Or maybe someone try to bind files from Vice City/GTA 3/Asphalt 8, The Condiut?

it will swap int sd with ext sd
I have that, I changed sdcard witaj externalsd niedobre Trentino to bind data and not working. Let's try again.
