miui v10.4 apps not moving to external sd HELP!!!

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you

As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

Sony Xperia Typo & external SD

Hello.
I bought an entry-level Sony, an XPERIA Tipo, some days ago.. (too many to have my money back..)
After some days, i bought a 16GB Samsung SD and i inserted into the SD slot.
My Sony Tipo knows that has 14,9 GB more :crying:, but doesn't know how to deal with this additional SD..:crying::crying:
In "settings", under memory, it lists its phone memory (754 MB), its Internal memory (2,15 GB) and SD card (14,9 GB), but doesn't handle this external SD card at all. Applications follow OS, so they don't consider SD as a possible path for saving data or themselves...
So I'm ending my available 2,15 GB; and since the phone has not been rooted already, I cannot do anything.
In file system, Internal additional memory is mounted under /mnt/sdcard directory, while SD is mounted under /mnt/ext_card
If I would be root, i'd try to rename ext_card to sd_card.. I'd prefer to have a 16GB SD card, than 2GB only
Any ideas about? Any suggestions?
Thanks, regards.
(PS Sony assistance didn't know anything about the issue)

If we had root it wouldnt take much to switch the mount points we can unlock the bootloader on sony site
But still need to get root installed

Problem- Sony Xperia Tipo sees internal memory as SD card?

Hello. First of all, I am completely new in Android phone so excuse me my noob questions.
So, I bought a new SD Card (Micro SD class 4 16GB) for my Sony Xperia Tipo (ST21i). It's not rooted, not modified. The problem is, that phone sees the SD card in memory options, BUT it cannot install anything on the SD card. What's more, I cannot really tell what's the problem here but Apps 2 SD application doesn't see my SD cards, and recognises Internal memory (2,5GB) as SD Card... Is this fixable somehow? I am stuck on installing everything to internal memory? I cannot also use adb, it doesn't list my device.
Please help Thanks.

DirectoryBind uses Root access guys. If you correctly read 1st post u'd know the person in question hasn't rooted his device.
So that would have to be done first. Now as far as I know you can install apps on the phone memory aswell as the internal memory. I do not know what's exactly the reason Sony mounted internal as sd_card, now with a few tweaks you could change these mountpoints, but again that requires access. I'll post some links in a few min.
Root Method: (always make a backup first)

I wouldn't know a fix without Root...

You need to root your phone and edit /etc/void.fstab
Change ext_card to sdcard and sdcard to ext_card and reboot your phone. Now your phone will show internal storage as your original SD card (around 14 GB in my case)

Off topic people thank SONY atleast you people have got EXT-SDCARD support what we XPERIA U users should say :/

SD card problem

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my exterrnal SD card, it happened like this:
I did not have a SD card and did everything on internal memory is was on FXP 212 at that time.
But today I flashed back to stock,installed Vengeance and then Gimlo 0.3.
i noticed that the sd was not writable and I tried to format it from the phone but then the phone rebooted.
Now the phone doesnt reconize it at all, I tried removing it and restart and then putting it back and reboot but it didn't help..
CMW says it cant mount External SD....
Is my sd card dead?

Check your SD Card by putting it into another phone.

This happened to me when I swapped memory card and internal storage u need to format from a computer using card reader or using mtp if it connects
Sent from my ST21i using xda app-developers app

If you can access the sd via card reader, check if you can format it fat32. If you want to do vold.fstab + link2sd, partition first, then switch vold.fstab. If you want to switch rom, switch back to original vold.fstab, then flash the new zip.
Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i
stock 4.0.4
11.0.A.4.22
(rooted, locked bootloader)
Current problem:
Cant get past installing flash drivers in xp.

Use a simple app called Link2SD [Require root access ]

its not the same u gotta create ext . was hoping for a memory swap solution

You could make let's say another Ext3/4 partition but that won't work as internal memory...
Sent from my D2303 using XDA Free mobile app

yes, would cynogenmod and int2ext scripts work on this device?

I gave a fast look at it and with int2ext you still need to partition the SD card. As it shouldn't be otherwise anyway. Then I'm not sure if it would work. It uses the partition
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
but that one in our phone belongs to the internal mmc, not to the SD card. Still you may give it a try. It's highly suggested to previously make a Nandroid backup, though. Unless you don't mind having to restore your phone to factory settings in case.
