Hi there,
I saw from my local forum here a Samsung Galaxy W thread.. which a custom ROM
with swap internal/external storage..
then I saw he posted in this XDA Forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21317510#post21317510
can any dev can reverse/swap our internal/external storage so that /sdcard/external_sd into /sdcard (our MicroSD Card)
primary storage is the MicroSD and internal storage becoming the secondary i.e /ext_sd
thanks in advance!!
I'm guessing the less than 8gb internal memory is too small for you.
I'v been using a mod like this for my previous phone (i9003 Galaxy SL) and works fine. It had 4gb internal memory and about 1.5gb usable for user.
I9003-MOD-Swap your internal SDCARD memory (for froyo-2.2.1)with the External_SD
MOD-Swap external-internal SD Gingerbread Version
You have to edit the: /system/etc/vold.fstab file.
you will have to find the entries: "# internal sdcard" & "# external sdcard"
swap the code inside the {} sign and your good to go.
I can't test this as i don't have an i9103 myself.
Before you edit the file, make sure you make a nandroid backup. Also, make a backup of the original void.fstab file so u can revert the changes .
If u don't want to edit the file, attach your vold.fstab file on this thread and I'll take a crack at it.
```
backup original file and try this. View attachment vold.zip many users said, that this is work. And ~5% of tried have a brick. it is for you own risk.
I didn't try and I will not do this because there is no reasons to change "internal" and "external". If you playing Gameloft games, search "gl to sd" on Market - it will fully remove game data to external_sd.
ok thanks for the reply.
yes i'm also using gl to sd too.. but i dont understand
USB Storage got 1.2gb free
device memory 1.55gb free..
microSD Card 2.5gb free
but when running Dungeon Hunter 2 via GL to SD.. it says not enough space..pls free up 5mb to download.. etc etc..
I mount/unmount still the same.
8gb internal (3.75gb free) is small for me bcoz PAPAGO X5 can only be run from USB Storage (/sdcard) and it consume around 900mb. plus some Gameloft games data..
it eat up my internal USB Storage.

Hi Friends,
I'm new to forum and bought new Galaxy R.
The partition in phone is divided into 3
1. phone memory 1.9 gb
2. USB storage 3.7 gb
3. My SD card 7.4 gb
Now the problem is I have download games and my USB storage is full.
I also I tried copying to SD card and playing it. but didn't work.
Since, This is my new phone I don't wanna root at early level since the company warranty is void if it is rooted as I have heard from friends.
I need help to copy into SD card and play without rooting
or atleast my game recognise the path of sd card where i have transferred.
I have seen previous post and tried many soft like apps2sd, etc.. nothing worked.
any alt solutions to copy in SD and play without rooting...
Thanks in advance..
Also when I try to transfer the files to SD Card using manager or other soft's but failed.
For example: Like I tried moving Gameloft Real football 2012 to SD Card. It only copies some 10 or 12 mb file which we download from market not the full files which we download later (i.e approx 400 mb)..

I used GL to SD which can move huge data that we downloaded later into SD card.
but to me it is a bit confusing.. and sometimes i got 2 identical data both in my SD card and USB Storage.. im not sure if GL to SD support backup if you change your phone..

GL TO SD requires root. As given in the instructions, and i and the original poster doesn't want root.
Any other feasible option?

Thanks bro.. It is pretty hard to get this stuff solved..
Also, I tried the application for Mount.. even these app needs rooting.. God knows what to do...
Hi Friends,
I found some important stuff regarding the USB Storage & SD card..
This is for "Non-rooted" mobile phones.
I installed ES file explorer & X-plore and also few other apps.. This is to check how arrangement of file system are in the phone.
Now what i absorbed is, In the display of phone memory it shows 1.9gb and for SD Card memory it shows 4.9gb which is USB storage not the one which I have installed 8gb SD Card.
So its like this..
" /mnt/sdcard " This is for USB 4gb space (Non extendable)
" /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " This is for my 8gb sd card (Extendable)
Hence, when ever any App wants to download additional data it goes to USB Storage (I.e /mnt/sdcard ) not to SD 8gb expandable storage card.
I want to configure or use the command to make the application to choose default location as " /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " to save in my extendable memory card without rooting.
IS THIS POSSIBLE... Please do let me know from the experts...
THANK YOU..
From what i have seen , u need a shadow copy or u need to bind the folders in some way, which requires root... I see no other way...

I think the mod of vold.fstab is enough, but I dont know the internal drive assigned number is. If you or someone could find this out, maybe it will work.

Is your device root? If yes then Try install folder mount at playstore and your can move the big game datas to extSdCard

1) wrong thread
2)many apps comes with an option to b transferred to ext sd card,whereas some don't ... It completely depends on developer..
Incase u r not rooted,u can only shift those apps to extsd which comes with an option to do so(also note that widgets won't work if app is installed on extsd),to do so go to settings - app manager - on sd card,then check all the apps that don't have a tick next to them,they can be moved
incase u r rooted,u can force any app to sd card,try force2sd or similar app from play store

Don't bother forcing apps to SD just use folder mount and mount the data/odd folder to the SD card keeps apk where it should be and moves large files to SD card mounting the folder to it's original position works well bit slow for me as I'm on an older 32gb memory card I'm upgrading to the sandisk extreme plus 64gb card ordering tomorrow anyway my point being internal SD quick standard SD slow make sure you have a fast enough card or you will get long loading times and possible lag

Hello,
I have SanDisk 8GB microsd card Class 2. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355).
My phone total storage is 4gb out of which 1.82 gb is used for phone and others for apps and my own files.
Currently my microsd is only 8gb drive in my phone ( only 1 partition now )
I want to install asphalt 8, modern combat 5, gta sa ( total about 4 or 5 GB). My sd card have 8 gb space so i want to install my apps in my sd card and not in my little phone memory. I am unable to do it myself and it is no use of sd card with 7.4 GB free of my sd card, i want it for apps.
I do not have a sd card reader for my pc so is there anyway i can do it via phone using twrp or cwm or link2d (free) ?
I have put some pics which tell about my phone and sd card in attachment (please see)
Thanks,

The best way is to do it in phone app manager.
You can move apps from downloaded section not allready on your SDCard ( internal ) to external (extSDCard).
Click on the app and use the enabled Move to the SdCard option button.
The second way is to use ADB shell command adb shell pm set-install-location 2.
Code:
pm get-install-location: returns the current install location.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media
pm set-install-location: changes the default install location.
NOTE: this is only intended for debugging; using this can cause
applications to break and other undersireable behavior.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media

Thank you Stratos for you help but actually when i move app from appmanager it moves only 36 mb out of 1.5 GB and the remaining 1 gb obb files are on my internal memory. I do not want to move them, I want to directly install them ONLY on sdcard and the google play / google chrome should not download anything to internal memory. I want my external sdcard to act as my internal memory. Is there any way I can fool my phone ?

Try second options, If U don't know how to do it right, just ask or search xda/google.
Or swap internal with external :

Hi Again,
Thanks for your help. The second option which you provided worked for me to move my apps to sd card and play games but in that case i have to install my apps first in internal memory and then move it to external sd card using GL To SD and i have to mount it everytime i restart phone. I can play games now and install more apps but is there anyway i can install directly say 3gb or 4gb on external without moving ?
Thanks,

Uninstall games.
Use adb/terminal emulator :
pm set-install-location 2
All the instalation will be made from now on external card. Default is 0 (auto)
install game.
As told u can always swap location with @Y300-0100 init.d script if U want from previous post.
The set location does not works. Even when i do it using adb tool and it shows my current install location as external when i install N.O.V.A.3 it says insufficient storage space available ?
:/
Please help me. I do not want to go in much detail about swapping memories cuz it might result in corrupting my sd card/ phone memory or I would end up bricking / bootlooping my phone. Furthermore the link you gave me says that I need a kernel with init.d support . I dont know if i have the kernel with init.d support or not. And I installed Busybox from google play store and not from a script. Will it work ?
Thanks.
