[MOD][APP]SwapSD for JB 4.1

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

I have 2 questions:
1 after installing this app i have to move all games' data folders to external SD?
2 the games won't run a little more laggy?

Yes is very simple :good:

Why not simply swap the mount points in vold.fstab? It's much better than using an App.

Why you say it's much better than using an app? For me is the same thing.This app makes all automaticly.Correct me if i'm in error

Can I use this for Galaxy Ace with JB ROM?

No errors. Indeed this app does everything for you and it is simple. Also swapping back is no problem!

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

[GUIDE][SWAP] Replace internal and external storage

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.

I beleive you are talking about Phone Memory. To free up space, you need to re-partition and increase the size of your phone memory. The default is some 500mb, but you can repartition it and change it to 2.5gb and make the internal SD card to 50mb. And then swap the internal sdcard with External sd card.
Refer to this page.

Hi everyone , here is the way to increase internal memory(swap it with SD CARD)
1 . Download root browser from play store
2. Browse to /system/etc/vold.fstab
3. Vold.fstab is the file to be replaced by this vold.fstab- http://db.tt/WLjGyBKK
4.reboot and check your storage in settings>storage

no just extract the rom and put the file in /system/etc/init.d/ folder
and just compress the folders
or just open the .zip file and drag the script in folder
and copy it to sd card and flash the rom

no
no need to do that
just put it in init.d folder and flash the rom
as i know this script makes sd-ext to behave as system partition and system as sd-ext partition
so your internal memory=memory of sd-ext partition

it is natural to leave some part of the App in the internal memory by Link2sd even after u link the apps. Make sure you have linked
Application file
Dalvik cache file
and Library file.
you can still link some data folders using folder mount.there is a nice guide in the xda forum for how to use link2sd with folder mount .
