[Q] Swapping Blaze 4G's Internal/External Mounting Points - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

I own a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, its running CM10 and i did not like the storage problems so i decided to swap the mounting points by editing the "vold.fstab" file, i swapped the internal and external perfectly without any issues or slowdown. But now CM10.2 is out and i would like to upgrade but i cannot find the "vold.fstab file, i read that this version no longer uses it, so i searched all over this site and google but have not found any answers, so here i am asking for help to swap the internal and external mounting points on CM10.2 and if anybody can help me that would be great and i do not like directory bind, or symlinks, Thank You in advance

Sorry this isn't relevant to your question, but I was just curious what did you edit in the file to swap the mounts. I would like to use my removable SD card as the phones main storage?

you can find the info to modify the "vold.fstab" file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33253737

I found the vold.fstab file in the stock ics rom. i was guessing it would be the same as the cm roms. its not. so far i can think of switching the code under #internal sdcard with the code from #external sdcard. has anyone ever tried this?

Hi
This phone has 1GB of internal memory from which about 330MB is traceable, but it's used for the operating system applications, settings, drivers and core.
For storage proper you use SD card.up to 32GB.

Depending on which ROM you have installed, it takes up around half of the 1G internal storage. Then there are other partitions on the internal storage (OneNAND-Flex nand flash) that also take up space, like kernels and bootloaders.
I use app2sd and have a 16G sdcard. No problems here.
Hope that helps.

What do you use for you app2sd? Is there a script that can just move everything to my ext4 partitioned sdcard? Btw I'm used to HTC phones, so far they have been the easiest at rooting, n such.

Hi everyone! My SGS 4G doesn't see his internal memory, like it is not there. This issue happened after flashing the device. The Baseband version was KG4 now I downgraded to KC1 trying to fix the problem. Any ideas why the phone can't recoghise his internal memory?

Hi, I'm a bit noob on these issues, a few days ago my phone brickied, but I solved it, after that when I connect the phone to my laptop recognize the SD card like internal memory and storage of the phone recognizes it as the SD card ....

without bugs and stable for my phone, if possible
having bootloader
I hope someone can help me

Not sure what you are asking sir, I have installed these, which means I have either tested or ran the ROMs in the Dev. as far as sd card issues, there is none, now for CM9, the mount is different than Gingerbread...EMMC which means: Embedded Multi Media Card, vice the GB "ext SD" label.

the laptop does see the phone units, the problem is that it shows the wrong way .. shows the phone's internal storage like a removable card (SD)

i have instaled a stock rom

Need help getting the APP2ExtSD2 mod to work on my Verizon SG3?

I'd love to be able to swap the way the phone sees internal and external SD so I could have 32gb instead of 16gb.
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849861 and
this: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-tutorials/app2extsd-how-to-save-apps-to-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
on both Bean's #10, and CleanRom 2.0 both of which support init.d,
The result: The external SD card became the ONLY SD card, and the internal card was invisible. The hack is supposed to swap them.
Has anyone had any success with this hack? If so, which ROM and kernel were you using? I'd love to get this working.
I'm not an expert on the diff roms but are those touchwiz based? The mod said it was confirmed working on touchwiz so if there not then that may be why you are getting that result.

CM9 question

I'm having this issue where everything that's on my SD card is doubled sometimes tripled. So I have triple of the same pic/song/video. My question is will doing a factory reset on CM9 erase anything on the rom? I know it will clear all my data and apps but will I still have root and the same version of CM9? Noob question I know.

And if you have any reason why my ex SD card is doubling I would love to know why. Thanks guys
Sent from my S2 Skyrocket running CM9 9.1.0 stable
I have that too, but only for ringtones and notifications. Not sure why. Drives me nuts.
Yeah I have over 1000 mp3 and now I have 2300 and the ones that are copies don't even play!!
Sent from my S2 Skyrocket running CM9 9.1.0 stable
yeah i used to have this problem but only on skyics. not really sure why...
anyways you can go to settings > apps > then media storage and just clear the data in there.
the duplicates came back when i did it but not for a couple days. hope this temp fix helps =D
Hmm, are they duplicating on the actual sd card? Or on the internal sd card/internal memory?
Edit: and to answer your question. You'll be fine with a factory reset. CM9 will be fine and you should not lose root.

For me, I believe they're only duplicated in the notification/ringtone dialogues. I haven't actually looked on the SD to see. Last time I looked, I think I had 5 separate instances of the Facebook Pop notification, for example, and 3 each of the ringtone and 2 notification tones I created.
Interesting I checked mine, and I am not doubled on anything. Maybe pop into root explorer and check? It would be interesting to see what you find...

I did find 2 instances of the Facebook Pop (both in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications and in /emmc/media/audio/notifications), but only 1 instance of my created ringtones.
I need to go through and clean up my internal and external memory, I just don't know what to delete.
I have the same exact problem and im on cm10.....wonder if its a bug in cyanogenmod??? Clearing the media storage data as mentioned works but only for a day or two.....only happens with my ext sd card too.....also formatted my sd card and tried a different one as well and got the same results

They are duplicating on my internal. I removed external and deleted the pics. But I can delete songs on apolo for some reason. And I can find the duplicates on my explorer. So annoying

I had a thought on this...
CMx and AOKP recognize /emmc, /sdcard, as well as /mnt/emmc, /mnt/sdcard, /mnt/sdcard0 (external) and /mnt/sdcard1 (internal). Those extra recognitions might be contributing to the duplicates...
I have that issue too lol

I can confirm that I do not have this issue on aokp jb, it was only an issue for me on cm9.

if the rom you're using is also copied to the sd or internal storage and uncompressed , the system reads the true file and the one in the "spare" uncompressed rom on sd .. result is "ringtone"*2 or notification *2

[Q] Move apps to external SD card on Samsung Galaxy S4 running Cyanogenmod 10.2

Hi Guys,
I've been searching through the CM10.2 forum for gt-i9505 to see if there is support for moving apps to the external sd card, but have found no information. I also don't know how to access my external SD card with CM File Manager. Can anyone help me out? I would appreciate all the help. Cheers!:fingers-crossed:
have you found a solution for this?
I'm facing the same.
The only person who gave me the info I was looking for was BassMadrigal in the CyanogenMod.org website forum. He said that it has not been on CM since CM7 and will not likely be added again because it is a waste of time. His explanation was something about sharing partitions. Sounded to me like the apps aren't really getting moved to SD, just a part of them. Hope this helps ya, man.
