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?

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.

Could anyone pass me the script a2sd for the aopk v.7 of RHB? Thanks
Link2sd
Link2SD works perfect in this rom you can Link/Move/Manage/remove apps
you have to partition your mem card , as u need you cant choose most of it for storage sd with fat32 and remaining ext2 for link2sd
Can you put a tutorial ,please?

Just want to share an app that solves common issues like lack of space in internal SD when installing games that takes a lot of internal memory (i.e Gangstar Rio, N.O.V.A 3 and others)
Now you can solve this problem with Swapsd. This simple app allows you to swap your "external SD" as "internal SD" and vice versa. So now your game data will be installed to your external sd instead of your internal SD.
Note: This app is not made by me. it's made by LolatiOn and then modified by camcory. So credits goes to those two.
Instructions:
-Move this app to your system /app
-Set permissions to rw-r-r (example in attachments)
-Reboot your device and enjoy your games
Requirements:
-Android 4.1 only

This app is for ppl who don't know how to edit this and that for jb. This app is not compatible for ICS so if you're on ICS you'll have to mod the void.fstab yourself

Swapping the sdcard in vold.fstab directly allows the system to mount the external SDcard (/mnt/sdcard1) directly after boot. I believe this App fools the system into thinking that external-sd is mounted into /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
This configuration works best:
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
dev_mount external_sd /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2

This app does the same! It replaces the vold.fstab.
And it makes an backup of the original vold.fstab. see screenshots

Hey guys,here's my modified vold.fstab files
JB Leaked: Here
GB: 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
Please leave a comment or click the thanks button if I had helped you

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 ?

Luk u dont hv to open d .txt file.. Just download it nd remove the .txt extension from it by deleting '.txt' frm d end. It is done only to save d time on mirroring d download. As XDA supports .txt file uploading but nt .void file uploading
