You can use the build.prop swapping method you need to add, copy and paste these lines on the build.prop located in /system. And you must be root:
Code:
# Switch External With Internal
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1
# Storage configuration
ro.vold.switchablepair=/storage/sdcard0,/storage/sdcard1
And please make me the favor to tell me if it worked. If not just delete those lines and save, so your tablet will come back to normal.

Oh sorry you cant swap anything currently using Android 4.4.
But try to use foodermount or Link2SD for your apps

Someone tried foldermount?

no go for me. But, there is always the possibility that I am confused. Will wait for others to try.

CM11 has storage, mount and permissions bugs still to be squashed. Then, and maybe only then will we see a working storage swap. If I ever come across anything, though, I'll let you know

I used foldermount and it works perfectly fine.

Then I am in fact an idiot. Will try again and report. Many thanks!

FolderMount
I use FolderMount with next to no issues.
However, it would not automatically move the files when linking folders so I manually moved the files from internal to external THEN linked the folders. After that no problem with those folders except;
DCIM folder link caused my Camera to become unavailable and/or all photos taken were corrupted. Once link was removed all worked normally. Now using Dropbox w/ 50gb and it automatically saves all my photos, so I just removed them fron internal memory after that, freeing up a few gbs

[Q] How to move game datas to external sd?

Hi,
How can i move game datas (not the apks!) to external_sdcard?
On my old phone -st21i- i used DirectoryBind or vold.fstab (external<->internal) but on m2, no one work.
I'm on stock 4.3 rom, rooted. (4.3 because i can't unlock bootloader to root kitkat)
Pls help
Regards

Try this
There are more ways to move data to external SD. I recommend an app called FolderMount (free on google play) you just link the folder and mount it... Or Xposed module called External SD which didn't work well in my case (blocked access to SD for other apps...)

FolderMount doesn't work, it's reboot the phone when i mount a folder with this.
Another?

try this work

[Q] Cannot copy to SSD in Samsung Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H?

Hello, i am starting this post, since there were a number of post already made similar to this, but none could provide a valid solution.
U see i want some files and documents be transferred from my phone memory to memory card. My mobile is Samsung Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H
I understand Samsung has disabled those feature after releasing Android 4.2.2 Kitkat and above i suppose.
But i read a lot about rooting and what is it.
The main question is how can i achieve to copy/paste files and documents from phone to SSD card.
I hope my question is simple, i could really use some expert opinion here.

Hello, i understand that samsung has restricted the access of SD card from Android 4.2 and above i guess again.
So is rooting a solution for that.
Please i need some suggestion. I have downloaded all the tools needed to root, all i need is some confirmation, i tried posting in there
blog, but they refuse to reply.
I want to know, is rooting device a one time process, if i need to factory recover, will the rooted device still stay in effect.
Do i need to re-root the device.
Give me some suggestion or give me a green light.

Rooting is a solution for this fix, but not always needed.
If u root your device you can use many apps to fix sdcard access ( root access needed ) like SDFix.
Well next thing ( without rooting ) is if u use stock or custom recovery, you can change or owerwritten platform.xml in /system/etc/permissions/ via update zip ( can made it 4 your version ) this is a way without beeing rooted.
the changed lines :
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>
<group gid="media_rw"/>
</permission>
I can make the update zip for you to owerwritten the default values only for this file, so you will be able to access and copy files to/from SDCard without root.
It's up to you what will you do ...

I would like to try, as you suggested rooted is one way to go, and the method you described seems to be good to, please can u make the update zip file and attach it, and tell me how to update further, i will wait for your attachment and reply.
If your method works, why even go with rooting.
Thank you for your professional advice, awaiting reply.

Thankyou for the attachment, i copied it to phone and memory card and restarted by phone by pressing powerkey+home+volumeup key.
I choose to perform update from external storage, but the phone doesn't recognise the zip file, i am out of idea, how do i perform update.

Yes i am using stock Recovery to choose the option of updating from the external storage.
I don't any other way.
Sorry, actually i hadn't copied your file to the SD Card, which i did later and ran the update.
However, i still cannot perform copy/delete option from the device.
I found out one site which specifically tells how to perform root for my device Samsung Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H
Here is the site, do u think its the right way to do it.
How To Root The Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355H)
Hello again, so i rooted my device from the link i provided. But when i try to delete some application files from the device,
it still doesn't allow it to do.
What am i doing wrong here, after rooting a application called Kinguser 3.4.057 got installed, it gives the permission to have access
for root permission , backup permission etc.
But i can't figure it out, how do i access my SD Card (8 GB) , i really need to delete some files from the card.
Any instruction from you. How do i do that.

The FS /system and other too is/are readonly (ro) in device, so if u want to delete or copy inside this partition u must change it to rw (readwrite), it's better for you to use some Explorer root based application like FX Explorer with root addon ...
If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

If u have formated extSdCard only as EXT2, the extSdCard can't be viewed by comp with usual progs, as far as I get out GC2 can't read EXT2 as extSdCard or at least I don't know if link2sd add this modules functionality itself ? I don't use link2sd !

Moving Apps to SD card after rooting

After rooting My LG Optimus F60 (MS395) I am unable to move any apps to my SD card. I used SDfix to fix the permissions, but for some reason I get the error message attached. Just looking for help and thought someone may know more about this error or have a fix.
Thanks

There's an xposed module to give access to the external sd. Also on the forum are instructions on how to modify your platform.xml to do the same thing. Did you search?

Not really, because it work it with application sdcard fix

After each reboot the system go to read only. Because of that I can use the SD card...

Best way is to mod your platform.xml add media_rw... That's it.

If your sdcard is being mounted read only it's failed stability checks...you should copy your data off and reformat it (preferably on a pc and tell it to do a full format...try using fat32 instead of exfat also)....you may have some bad areas on it.
The idol 3 can be very picky about sd cards...I ended up having to go out and buy a samsung because it hated my sandisk one which has been rock steady in all other devices...the sandisk would randomly not mount at all and have to be reformatted.
