[Q] Urgent help needed !!!

Hello friends ...
I love this mobile ... http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a90s-review.html
And it have sufficient hardware capabilities to run high end games ...
I want to buy this but only problem is the memory...
It have only 1GB internal storage for installation, while HD games are having size more than 1GB ...
Is there any way to install 2GB games on it ...
I don't want to root ... but if there are no options left then I will do rooting ...
Can I hope that after rooting ... I can install games directly on SD card ??? without any issue ???

You can install them on ur external card with apps like link2SD, Rom Toolbox. You will have to root it
Edit - actually, if im not mistaken, you can install the games directly to your external sd without root

Thanks for reply... my dear friend ... but I want to know that is this 100 % possible to install big games (greater than 1GB)directly on external SD card after rooting ???
(quote from website: "internal storage for app is around 1GB free. Apart from that there is another storage of 1.9GB which remains untouched and you don’t have an option to save new apps on the internal storage by default.")
I can't understand it because I am new to android and having no knowledge of it ...
Can you explain this quote ???

I see no reason why it wouldnt be able to do that.
That quote says in other words, the phone has 3 gigs internal, its partitioned, the 1 gig is for "system" and the other 2 gigs are for you to use as storage, or atleast thats how it works with my galaxy pocket.
I was told the game storage works like this, the game data can be stored in the external memory and the games "launcher" will be stored in the 1 gig partition of the internal memory. The launchers are usually 10 - 25 mb.
I really hope you understand this:thumbup:

Hi... thanks ,but still confuse;
Can I confirm that after rooting I will install games/apps directly to SD card ???

Yes.
There is a very good chance that u can install games directly to external sd without rooting also.

Hey guys,here's my modified vold.fstab files
JB Leaked: Here

♦To use it,simply copy the file to your SD Card
♦Next,use an Advanced File Mangaer (Root Explorer),one that could access system files on the phone
♦Copy the vold.fstab file and paste it into the ''etc'' folder which can be found at the root of your system storage
♦Reboot for the phone for changes to take effect
Here's an instructional video if you guys need more help

merging System storage
I have done a swap on SD cards. It is OK, but not the best solution. Better, I would like to merge System storage (1,20GB) with USB storage (1,10GB) into 2,3GB as System storage. Is it possible to do it? I would be very happy.

Same question as 99milan......is it possible ?
also already try to replace original vold.fstab with downloaded vold.fstab from 1st post result is bootloop on samsung Logo....using JB LEAK

It's work. :good:

Guys i just updated and posted the new JB vold.fstab file!
It works for me but idk if it would work for you so please let me know

[GUIDE][SWAP] Replace internal and external storage

Hi everybody !
I'm new in the forum and today I found how to swap external and internal SD for our galaxy S plus i9001 :victory:
It's very easy to do that ! I done that because my phone is an 8GB storage and I can't install lots of apps in it ... It will transform your external storage in internal storage
So, what do you need :
- a rooted i9001
- a micro sdcard (I used a 32Go card)
- File Manager (I use CM File Manager)
- 2 minutes
OK, first :
open your file manager,
go to / > system > etc > vlod.fstab
open the file
you only need to change this line :
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
dev_mount external_sd /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2
by :
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount external_sd /storage/sdcard1 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2
Reboot and enjoy your new storage space

Im sorry to say, but we already have a thread that provides this information in this development section. I will look for the link soon.

There is a easier way in build.prop with a root browser
#Change to 1 for swapping SD cards
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=0
Edit: in my builds it works arco commited this a few days ago and for now only on 4.2.2 roms but i think it is possible to add this on build.prop

Will this also switch the way clockwork mod mounts both storages?
Or is this only applied during the actual boot of android?

Hey man, can I use this method with cyanogenmod 11?

No, because there is no vold.fstab file in version 4.3 and up. Swapping using the build.prop version doesn't work for now. Lets hope that Adc team will figure out what is wrong.

External to Internal sd swap

MUST BE ROOTED
Updated 8/17/13
This is for everyone that wants more internal memory for apps and games (that's if you have a large ext-sd like 32gb or 64 gb). I have noticed alot of people need the app to sd feature but can't use that anymore because google seems to think we don't need it LOL. Please follow all instructions.
EDIT: I found a video that will show you how to swap your apps and games to sd and it's very simple. You will be able to get your internal space back and play games and use apps stored on extsd.
EDIT 2: trazfer says that the foldermount app isn't very user friendly and he recomends using GL to SD (root) from the play store here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
I'm leaving the YouTube video below for people to have two options which ever one works out best for that person.
Thanks to trazfer for the report :thumbup:

I went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 and downloaded this app to get init.d support (must have init.d support). Install busybox by Stericson from the play store and run busybox let the app load after smart install is loaded choose install and then normal install (do not choose smart install) then reboot. If you have the Uni-init v1.0.apk downloaded from the first link I posted just install it run the app choose activate when finished choose verify it should say success then just reboot. Go to second link below and install the Root External 2 Internal SD app and run it. Please follow all the instructions on play store for that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext Please follow all instructions. After doing all of the above you can use your external sd as main storage. Enjoy

Now that we have CWM and a functional ROM can we move apps to the sd card
idk im wondering if this is possible ?

GL to SD
Some apps do work where you can transfer to sd card but some apps you can't, it's pretty cool for big games like asphalt

is this applicable in SM-T210? coz mine says my device doesnt support app2sd.

Moving app to SD functionality is built into my GTab 8.0

Sir. i have found a way to fix this issue that doesn't let us move apps to SD. i have found this Foldermount application which puts the Data or Obb files or anyfile in my Internal Storage into my SD Card Storage. if you still need a fix to this issue i may upload it here.

Please do, this would help the community.

Foldermount is in the play store.
But if you need to mount more than 3 folders, you will have to pay
Still a great app. (I paid for the app)

Here's a better way:
Use an app like "App Backup & Restore" from the Playstore. It will copy the apks to a folder on your SD card. You can then use a File Explorer to send those apks via Bluetooth. :good:

Try finding it in CM file manager.
I hope you find it!

All your app's installed and linked using Link2SD are saved into your second partition you created as fake internal ram. This second partition is either EXT2 or EXT3, Linux format.
