hi
i have this galaxy s3 clone . it has realy small internal sd card size . and it got filled too soon .. later i was unable to install most heavy apps .. like sygic etc as they complained of low space .. even there was a 16gb micro sd card there .. but non of the app that would complain of little memory would see this external sd card . so i thought to somehow swap the internal with external ..
i edited to vold.fstab file and after few tries hit the right choice .
here is the original vold.fstab file

the editing is highlighted .
so far i have not faced any issue .. even my sd card is class 4 sandisk . but i plan to upgrade to class 10 ..
so far no negative/ill effect that i have noticed ..
and all of my proleblems of low disk space are solved an i am happlily installing all apps that once refused ..
now the internal 2gb sd card will be shown as sdcard2 .. you can use it as usual ..
however the internal /data partition is still the same .. so it will get full at the same rate .. i am waiting for some expert to increase it .. by somhow shrinking the /cache partition and taking some space from /system partition and also assigning the now freed sd card sapce to /data .
Can't see any editing... Is it right?
i cant see any different

Hi guys and gals,
I have an iberry CoreX2 tablet and would like to swap the internal and external memories.
You can have a look at the specs if you want to
http://www.flipkart.com/iberry-auxus-corex2-3g-tablet/p/itmdj65pwyb93dsg
runs on rockchips RK3066
I would like to modify the void.fstab file but the original file in my tab is a little confusing
I would appreciate any help in confirming what strings to change in the file.
Thanks in advance!
here is the original untouched vold.fstab file

Hi,
I've seem to have lost my internal sd card as well as my external sd card after messing with the vold.fstab file, then put all the lines in the file the way they were before but both SD's fail to mount (i assume that they fail to mount since the tablet recognizes i'm inserting the external sd)...
Any ideas??
Here the vold.fstab file:

Hello all

Hello guys,
has anyone tested a CWM for Mediacom 721m Tablet ?
Need this to change fstab (for swap memory), because if something goes wrong I can replace by Recovery original file via USb.
The original recovery not be able to navigate into memory.
Before making any changes I would like to be sure I can get into the device and replace edited file back to its original.
For completeness, this is the original file :
