[Q] External SD Card

I keep seeing references to internal SD card and External SD card, and just now I was using SDMaid and it lists Sdcard (8GB) and External SD card (empty). Is there a second slot for another SD card that I am unaware of.
I put the 8GB card that came with the phone in the slot next to the sim.
I have wondered this for a while and after searching, I decided to pose the question here to get clarification.

No, there is other slot. Some phones, like the Galaxy S and its variants, do have a soldered on internal SD and a slot for an external. The Desire HD(and therefore Inspire) do not. You can in theory partition your SD card and it is supposed to show up that way, but DO NOT DO THIS.
That's what I thought, but I had to check.

[Q] Flashing Galaxy S3 without Microsd card

Hello,
I have read many guides about rooting and many of them say I need a microsd card for flashing roms. So do I need to buy a microsd card or will it work with the internal 16GB memory ?
You can root and flash fine with internal storage only.
Since the internal memory mounts as \sdcard, I believe it will work. Just connect to your pc, copy the rom zips to it.
thank you so much.

[Q] Can I install applications on the Micro SD card storage?

Like the title suggests, I'm asking if it is possible to install apps on the storage of the Micro SD card.
To make my self clear, I'm not asking if an apk can be installed from the SD card.
Also, if its not possible to install apps on the storage of the micro SD card, is there a working way to swap the internal and external SD card?
I'm a note 2 owner so, i wan't to know if i'll buy my sister this HTC Butterfly if she can install >16GB worth of apps.
Thank you.
Without playing and modding stuff , NO ... and even when done there's high risk of data corruption
ya, tried that before in my previous S3, and data corruption is so easy to happen, i won't recommend to do it too...
So, its safe to assume that as of this moment, there aren't any way to successfully swap the internal and external SD of the HTC Butterfly.
Also, I cant install apps in the External SD Card Storage.

[Q] Storage Problem samsung galaxy s5 (cm 12)

Hey! I need help!!
I have an samsung galaxy s5 with cm 12 as my Rom. Now my internal SD card is full.
I have an SD card. I want to send the big apps to that SD card, but I can't... Because the external sd card is saved as Sdcard1. The SDcard is some kind of second partition of my internal storage and this storage is full. The apps I tried wanted to send the data/apps to the SDcard (which is full...). What can I do to fix my problem???

Remap internal "emulated" SD card to my external SD card?

I just rooted my Xperia Z Ultra running Lollipop on stock firmware. I was wondering if there's a way to remap my internal SD card to point to my actual external SD card? I want to free up the internal so I have more space for apps. The reason my internal SD is full is because not all apps have external SD card support. So I want to force those apps to write their extra file and whatnot onto my external SD card instead. How do I achieve this?
