Ever had a problem with your Android smartphone that application is only downloading to the phone storage and you can not move it to the MicroSD card?
Here is a quick solution. The following solution will only work on a rooted phone.
Please download and install ES File Explorer.
Enter it, Go to Menu>Settings>Root Settings Check “Root Explorer” and accept both the ES prompt and SU prompt.
Then check Mount File System
Return to ES Main screen, Long press the first Favorites icon unless the path will turn to /
Go to /system/etc and press vold.fstab
Find there the following lines:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard
[email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host/mmc1
Replace the sdcard with sdcard2 and sdcard2 with sdcard so that it will look like this:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 [email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host/mmc1
Now press the Menu button and press Save.
Restart your phone and now the “Phone Storage” is your MicroSD card and most applications will be downloaded to it.
Nice

is it working on all android phones?..my phone is "Vega Racer IM-A770k"..
SD card as primary storage location.
I have Rom Toolbox, and selected APPS2sd, and I have noticed my apps do get stored on my SD card, but I am wondering about the OTA I am now being nagged about.
Will this OTA also be saved to my card, or will this ignore the pointing to a specific location and perform the update on its own, regardless of where I direct my apps?
My latest update is 45.621.10.en.us for VZW
Is there an easy method of getting this OTA off the phone and into my SD card without messing with extensive file attributes?
If so, does anybody know the exact location of this file?
Root or system?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Hey guys!
Is there any way to reverse the process?
To change my sd card back from phone storage to external sd card-
After flashing new rom to my ZTE V970, my external SD card is shown as phone storage, but I would like to have it as external SD card!
Thanks!
install apps to external sd card,any android 4.2.1
My bro bought a micromax canvas 2 plus running 4.2.1 and asked me toh swap the sd cards..
At first i thought it would be easy since there are so many posts regarding this..but all the methods failed..
The twist is..there are 2 files in the system/etc folder..
1.Vold.fstab
2.Vold.fstab.nand
So..replacing 0 with 1 in the vold.fstab file doesnot do the trick..
After many days of searching every where, i finally found a way..
1.Root your phone
Use root explorer( or any other file manager with root access)
2.navigate to system/ etc
3.now open the vold.fstab file as text
4.make a backup of the original file
Change the lines:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 [email protected]/devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host
To
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard0 [email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host
In vold.fstab.nand change sdcard0 to sdcard1
Then reboot your phone
PLEASE NOTE: the above change will NOT show your external as internal..or vise versa
But all those large apps and games will get installed in external sd card..
Make the default write disk 'external sd' from settings
Fully working on canvas 2 plus
Help out
I encounter a problem on my tablet !!!! my sdcard not working as external storage !!!! So. Can't use it to save data of games as some other things ....it has 2.0gb internal memory ,and 5 gb storage !!!!!then my sdcard. Which obb file of a game that is not playing I attached some screen shot of the storage to this post
KitKat
could anyone do this on kitkat , because it don´t have vold......
thanks
Thanks for the instruction. There isn't much available on the net for this. I am trying to work on an XTouch Ocean phone that has a 512mb/256mb internal structure. I would like to change the internal and external (4GB bundled with the device) but need to have the internal settings display that the change has been made in order for the device to be acceptable for a NGO project we are running. Any idea?
Ok I got a Huawei Media Pad 7 lite S7-932U
Below if the code from the vold.fstab file where its stock. I cant move apps 2 sd because its been removed from the manufacturers so that out!
The point of me editing is too swap my internal storage to my ext sd but my tablet has extsd,sdcard,sdcard-ext and a sdcard2.
So I really need some help with this guys

I assume you know how to edit Vold.fstab, but confused on swapping which with what.
The quickest and safest way to figure out this is using root file explorer.
At first you need to find out where exactly your device installing apps by default. Best way is to search for the recent app you installed.
Next thing, insert your external SD card with some specific file in it.
Now again using the file explorer u can find out how your device naming the external SD card by searching the specific file.
Once you find out these two locations, whats remaining is just edit the file accordingly swapping these two locations...
All the best and post here once u done ...
Move apps to sd card

The permission of the file system should be changed to Read and Write to be able to edit the file vold.fstab . This can be done only if your device is
Rooted. If it is rooted you can easily change it using Root file explorer or terminal emulator.
Reply back if you have any queries..
Hello, the device is rooted, just like I have to change in the vold.fstab I the apps are stored on the external sd card?
Thanks in advance
SD as internal storage
Could anyone help with editing vold.fstab to exchange storage to the SD card as an internal storage? :good:

Hi
I have a problem with my vold.fstab file, hope all the gurus or sifu here can help me
My device Samsung SM-9006 Clone. (System info as per attached)
I was fiddling with the vold.fstab file in order to get more memory with the SD card, now my phone can't detect any SDcard although i have checked my sdcard is functioning well. But very funny if i checked Storage on my phone, it shows Internal Storage 11.97GB and Phone Storage 422GB!! and no SDCARD present. Check the attachment and also my current vold.fstab file attachment.
If anyone have the same phone as me here, please attached your vold.fstab file (System/etc/vold.fstab) here so i could set back the original setting. (I did not backup my original vold.fstab file earlier before i fiddle the vold.fstab file) :crying:
Thank you and have a nice day.
Daniel.
what should i do if i change vold then there is something happen? it happen when i use custom rom... i edit vold but nothing happen. but if i use my stock rom and edit vold. it will change position of sdcard as internal storage... is there any solution without edit vold?

Check whether file system is read only or not. If its not read only try editing with Jota text editor. If the file system is Read only you would have to change the permission first.

Can you tell me what are the folders you have inside your /mnt folder ?
And it looks like your internal memory and phone memory are same (means you have only two types memory. Phone memory and external SD and you don't have option to move apps from phone memory to internal in your mobile phone)
If that is the case, you can't do the swap...
Friends, I tried using a script to change my internal memory standard to the outside, it worked, but now recognize my memory card as internal memory and try to install on the outside, so that I can not install anything.
someone has vold.fstab file Experia c2304 you can pass me so I reset my phone?

Hello , this guide is needed when you have small internal sd card , and your phone don't support switching internal sd with external sd, which mean some apps or big games won't find enough space in your internal sd card to download files (DATA or OBB files for example), so applying this will make your internal sd (with small space) become the external sd "sd card1" or "ext.sd card" what ever the name is , and your external sd (with the bigger memory) becomes internal sd "sd card0" , the way to do that changes from device to device a little bit , anyway for my device (Jellybean 4.2.2 NOT KITKAT)i needed to have root access and then edit the file /etc/vold.fstab , so follow this (this is the general idea of doing it) :
0- You must have a full MTK-SPT backup of your phone , and you must know how to restore it in case something goes wrong.
1- To be able to fix it easly in case something goes wrong make a copy (backup) of the file vold.fstab , you can return it like it was , following this :
- if your device boot use Root explorer or ES File Explorer (replace file & fix permissions)
- or replace the vold.fsab in the cwm flashable zip in the attachments and flash that back using cwm recovery (to replace open zip using winrar -don't extract-then go to system\etc and replace the vold.fstab in the zip with your backup vold.fstab)
2- Edit /etc/vold.fstab like the following , use any text editor on pc or on your android - easier on android using ROOT explorer - now the original vold.fstab file was like this before changing any thing :

And then i swaped the name of my internal sd card with the name of my external sd card so it's mounted in its place (become the first sd card) it's become like this after editing it

so the replacing was at the line 17 and 18 (they might be different lines for other devices but with a similar text) i replaced the name of my external card which is sdcard1 with the name of my internal storage sdcard0 , also the names in your device may be different but the idea is the same these are the 2 lines before and after the replacement so you know what lines to search for and edit they should be very similar to these :
before
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 [email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host
after
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 [email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host
Nothing else changed, after that i saved the file and restart the device -if you edited on pc you need to copy & replace the file or you can use the cwm flashable zip in the attachments to do it- then after rebooting the sd card become my internal sd and the internal become the external sd card.
Now that worked for me, just be careful i'm not responsible for any damage might happen to your device if that didn't work this may cause bootloop or softbrick, another thing if you want to backup your ROM or flash some other rom after applying this you should undo the changes first especialy if it's a cwm ROM or backup , do a backup of the file before editing it in case some thing goes wrong ,so you can return the file as it was, and if this worked for you press THANKS button then install what ever apps or games you like on your sd card what ever size it is.
Some devices has different vold.fstab than the one i showed so if you tried this with different one & it worked please post your file & the changes you made , this will help other users.
Working for MT6572 chipsets
Hey thanks a lot mate, its working for MT6572 chipsets perfectly :good:
\cheers/
Hi Respected XDA experts,
I bought recently Android box with DVB-S2 functionality. It has internal storage of 4 GB which is mounted virtually however when I try to analyze memory via ESExplorer, it says SD card unmounted. I have downloaded subject file from box and pasted below for your reference. Can anybody help me to make it correct and give ready made file? and I can install it in system.
It has about 450 MB of system reserved memory which I guess is ROM. I want to extent the internal memory further.
I guess this box has modified ROM of 4.2.2 android system and using Mali 400 GPU, and Hi3719C Chip. I have issue with Kodi also, after installation it is stuck at "waiting for external storage".
I hope you guys can provide me help on both issues.
Thanks
