I recently did the vold.fstab swap of my SD and external SD card locations. I like it very much, but the amount of time it takes to mount the external SD is ridiculous. After every reboot it takes about two extra minutes just to see all the apps and data on it. And when ever I remove it and reboot it usually freezes the lockscreen, then reboots, and only then spends another two minutes searching for all the data. Is this a common problem with this swap method, and if it is, is there any fix for it?

Ya it will take longer to scan because it has to scan every file on ur sdcard now to run correct including any game files and such before the files were internal and ur read speed will always be faster that way... But what I do is just simplify the file system delete all files u don't need put music in a music folder and pix in ur dcim folder and so on because the more files and file folders u have the longer it will take... also uneeded backups will make it take longer because they r so big... Another thing is when u have them swapped it seems to scan for errors much longer too... And it depends on ur read write cache too I always make sure there's an init.d script or build prop script for 2048kb or more... And one last thing to consider is the class and quality of ur sdcard I have a Samsung class 10 8gb and it's never steered me wrong and if u have a off brand or lower class sd it will corrupt more and Def will give u headaches
So good luck hope I helped

Do you know where I can get the script for 2048kb cache, I am running CM 10 and I tried everything but it keeps on returning back to default 128 every reboot.

What permissions?
I believe this one will work for any Rom
But u need to make a file init.d name it like 01tweaks or anything with a number or just add it at the end of another file in that folder
Here it is:
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb; # Set sd card read ahead cache size

I am used to transferring data to my SD card by connecting the phone to my computer by USB and mounting it.
This suddenly has failed, and it looks like the problem is that there are apps running from the SD card. That is not surprising since I most my apps to SD because of the limited internal storage on this phone.
If its really an app or two thats causing the problem, how do I identify them so I can move then back to internal?
I have yet to have any space issues after deleting the fota files. Try using link2sd instead of apps2sd

I have made backups fine in the past, but I just tried again 2 times, and it gets to /data and starts going, then stops, and says there was a error backing up /data
What might cause this?
I have 8G free on the SD card

Would the battery being low cause this? I mean mine was at 65%
No this is usually caused by space issues in your sd card. Backup ur sd card to pc and reformat? Maybe that might help.

If your trying to do a backup from the app as oppose to booting into cwm recovery you may have freezes.

Well, I went ahead and installed the new ROM anyway, and restored my apps using titanium and then I went into CWM and mounted everything, and it let me make a backup of the new ROM so, I dunno...........
I have a heard of a rom not allowing people to back up for some reason before. Maybe a google search will help you for a reason? mind sharing what rom you were on?

OK I Know swap i useless BUT i have my reasons so PLEASE DONT JUST ANSWER WITH "insert generic warning about swap being useless here". i have been trying for 3 days now to get swap to work but with no luck and in fact bricking my phone (i fixed it btw). I have used swapper 2 and have had no luck with that, either with a partition or with a file. i have tried a ton of bash commands in terminal, but with all just a fail notification. i have a swap partition on my sd card in the right setup of -fat32 13GB- -ext 2 256MB- -SWAP 1GB- all set to primary. im on CM7.2 stable and as far as i knew swap was enabled on the cm kernel. i could be wrong and that is why im here. any help would be awesome.
I don't know why swapper 2 wasn't working for you. I used to use it, more harm than good honestly, but SetCPU would show the changes and increased swap file size. I do recall I had trouble getting it started and used ESfile explorer to manually create a blank file with the name swapper2 used and than restarted swapper2 it went through successfully. Set it for set at boot and it was there every time.
Make sure you didn't accidentally deny it in your superuser logs.

Where did you put that file? I know I need to direct it to /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 before it was pointed to the internal memory so that is why it bricked.

swap.swp is my extra swap file. it is in addition to the sysyems regular swap file. i think your trying to redo the entire swap file which caused crash imo. just do the expansion on ur microsd card.

I was trying to avoid the file seeing as the partition works better anyway but I suppose it would save me some time

well long story short it didnt work. tried the swap file thing and that didnt work. the partition didnt work with either cwr or gparted or mini tool. i just give up
I've had this issue before when I got into the whole thing for swap, what you might need to do is disable compcashe. It creates a swap file on its own and will over ride any other swaps in my experiences. By default it creates about 96mb in internal memory but if you can deal with that then I'd say stick with it cause its much faster than SD card. But try it see if it works. Then decide if you need more than 96mb.

Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

With a file manager go in to each folder of the zero move it out and when it says it's a duplicate there should be am option to merge the file storage and once you are done formatting again

I personally did it this way on the advice of the developer of synergy and worked flawless
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.

For some reason my phone is not taking the ext SD card as easy as it should. The card is relatively new and reads fine on my computer. On my phone however it sometimes says it has been unexpectedly removed. It picks it back up after a few seconds. There have been times it doesn't read the card at all and asks me to format it because of errors. I dont think there's anything wrong with my hardware. Possibly a ROM issue? Anyone have any clues or suggestions? Thanks

I've been having the same issue with the same size card. Also, when listening to music, and skipping through tracks using the volume up/down button (a mod on some ROMs, which I love...) the music player cuts out and says "Sorry, the media player does not support this type of file" when obviously it does, because it's played it a million times before. A reboot usually fixes it, but then there's a corrupted folder in the 'Music' folder on my extSDcard that looks like 'μEACTuih'. It's weird, but I know somebody out there knows how to fix this, could be changing the type of file system on the card I think, I'm just not sure how it's done...
Hopefully someone else reads this and can help!!
And oh yeah, I'm on Hyperdrive RLS15.
Damn.. Yeah.. Someone else suggested of could be the card but idk.. Works fine when it wants to

Try a different sdcard if it reads fine then might be the card
if running a 4.3 rom i read couple post of ppl that they have to format it
And if none of those work then it could be a hardware issue then Odin back to stock and replacement warranty
Good luck hope u fix the issue
