Folder mount is your best bet. Search for it, or look in android/apps and games, or android/ software development,(i forget which) or even Google play. It is what i use, but it only allows you to link directories, its not the same as the swap script. I think i read that someone linked data/media, but i just use it to link downloads and a few large obb folders.

What i did is
1 make a folder on my SD card where i wanted to link a folder from my internal memory to.
2. Open folder mount.
3. Press the + icon
4 pick a name for the link, to better manage it.
5. Select the folder from the internal SD card that you want to link as the source.
6 select the external folder you made in step one as the destination.
It will then ask you if you want to move the files over. I always say yes, other people move the files over first then do the above steps, up to you. After the files are done. Make sure the pin icon is clicked. Its either white or green, i forget. I moved all my obb folders over, and the apps still run.

Moving App to ExtSdcard
Well, I recomend you to install this two app.
Clean Master: it has an app manager to move app to the extsdcard. This works only if the app have the data files in the directorie
Storage/sdcard0/android/data/. Like NFS- Most Wated. The good news is that the app let you know how many mb the app have and by one click you can move to the sd card, the bat news is that only works the way I told you unless they update the app.
Lidroid File Manager: which have a plugging to mount folders ( the plugging have to be installed from google or from inside the app ).
With this you can mount the Obb directory: Storage/sdcard0/android/Obb where many big games leave the data. With this I recomend you to manually copy the obb files in the extsdcard and paste it an a folder you will use as a SOURCE FOLDER, and erace it from obb folder before mount.
This app doesn't appears in the Play Store due to "Incompatibility with our Tablet" but you can find it in ( us. Lzfile. com) this together is the url I can't post outside links. Find what is to mount a folder in a post if you don't know.

Searching for Internal memory...

Greetings,
Of the 4 choices that I see displayed @Titanium backup:
System ROM
Internal
S.D. card
Ext.S.D.card
I'm having difficulty finding System ROM and Internal memory with my root browser/ file explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Internal Memory is the same as SD Card, you can find it on /storage/sdcard0; for the external SD Card (Ext.SD Card): /storage/sdcard1. I think the rest of the files and folders outside the storage folder is System ROM.
So...does anyone have an idea of how to access my System ROM?
Thank you all!

ROM are system files, carries default apps and data of booting up your mobile, so you need not access ROM unless you needs ROM programming.
ken8864 is right! i once messed up with my system rom and my phone needed to re flash afterwards. BTW there are some applications that can be installed to view directories. Some might allowed you to view your system rom.
MyPhoneExplorer allows you to view it but don't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing.

[MICROMAX A110] Alternative solutions to swapping

Hi all,
I found that some of the Micromax a110 {on stock v1 and cynus T2} users are wondering whether they should swap internal/external sd card as their internal sd card is full with awesome GAMES data.
Here i will provide three ways to give Micromax a110 more space for gaming. Strictly for root users only.
1.Internal/External swapping
This mod will swap ur internal sd with external sd. Before swapping, backup the data on both sd cards to ur pc and manually "swap" the data from each other.
Then download and extract the vold.fstab and replace the one under /system/etc by using root explorer. Then reboot and enjoy.
d-h.st/LFT
2.Mounting script
If u want to store and run game data from external sd without swapping. Mounting script is a good solution to it.
This script will mount the game data path to your external sd. In other word, it tricked ur device for redirecting the games to load data from external sd instead of internal sd.
What u need are•Script Manager - download from market for free [https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...1hbmFnZXIiXQ..
•mounting script
Create a new script file in Script manager and type the following:
(I used the Android folder as example)
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/Android sdcard/Android
This is for gameloft
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft
After creating these, u need to cut the files in Android or gameloft from internal sdcard and paste them to the new location on external sd. Leave the original folders empty.
Remember to set them "boot" and "su" and SAVE in script manager. Reboot.
Alternatively, u can use the one I provided or create it by ur own. Extract the MOUNT external.zip and put it into ur sd card. Open it in script manager and select "boot" and "su" then save. Reboot.
If ur ROM is init.d autorun supported, just simply put the mounting script into the /system/etc/init.d folder.
3. Directory Bind tool
This is an apk created by one of our forum members, slig. This is based on the the same mounting script method. U can use it for simplicity. All credits go to the creator.

4.GL to SD
This apps created by tnslf2k is similar to the script I made and it is user-friendly. U can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...lzdGdsQXBwIl0.
For more details, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...53&postcount=1
That's all. Choose a way and play ur games

Really easy guide
A really Good Thread :good: I have shared the link on the main MMX whenever required :angel:

At max storage capacity after installing CM10

I was looking through the folders to try and see which one was taking up all of my space, found the Samsung folder was at about 11 gigs but the three sub folders are nearly empty. The sub folders are just images, videos and music so I'm assuming that it's OK to delete this folder but unwanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something first. (everything I load besides apps goes onto my external SD card)

I just flashed cm 10.2 and I'm only showing 4gb internal memory with about .5gb avail. I don't know where my storage went either. Used SD analyst and it doesn't add up to 4gb. Wondering what happened to the other 4gb. Any ideas?

That happened to me too... The problem was that cm10.2 rom saves data to /sdcard not /sdcard0, so the files in /sdcard0 just stays there.... You can't delete the files inside because you can't access them. You need to flash the previous rom, and delete all files in /sdcard0, and reflash cm 10.2.
So does that mean a previous version of cm or whatever rom I had installed before cm10?

I think they are the same thing. Create a folder in in sdcard and you will see it in Sdcard0. Your 8gb of storage is 2gb for ROM, 2g apps and apps/data and 4gb storage.
thats weird
emm try to stay away from CM 10.2 , android 4.3 is not stable yet !
try CM 10.1 or a stable rom.. i advice you : slimrom build.8-OFFICIAL :good:

"0" folder

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?

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.
