hello Guys!
I am using a Karbonn Titanium S5 plus and its specs are pretty good for me. The only issue I have is that the internal memory is low and so I was thinking maybe somehow I can install my custom ROM on my 16Gb External SD Card. Well the question is clear I hope... Do I have any option to do this ?? If yes then then any guidance would be a great help.
*** P.S. : I thought of changing the updater-script file, the part where the where the mount points are mentioned. i thought of changing those points to the external sd card but then without proper knowledge I backed off and thought to put the question here.
:fingers-crossed:

Hi guys,
I tried to find solution but couldn't find. the solutions were for different phone and etc. so not sure if that would apply to my case this is why want to make sure will get right fix for the issue
Phone was working fine for a couple months but couple days ago I noticed that I can't take pictures because it can't mount sd card
Well I'm thinking I will restore from backup but guess what I can't because clockwork can't see the sd card so I'm kinda stuck here. I think this is a phone's internal memory card not the micro sd card. Am I right?
Thanks for help in advance and if there is a thread with same issue and device please send me a link as I couldn't find it.
Quick info about phone
sgh-t989
android version 2.3.7
baseband verion T989UVKL1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.14+ SGS2-Streamline #3
Mod Version CayongenMod-7.2.0-RC0-373_R6-Kang-SGHT989-KANG
not sure if this is enough info but if you need anything else please ask
thanks for help
Oh well today I had some free time so I sat down and tried to look for fix, turns out it is was external micro sd issue which failed.
Phone was setup to use external card. So after I told phone go and use internal memory rebooted and all good, inserted smaller micro sd card, just to have some additional memory and all is good. So here you go if you will have something similar going with your phone maybe that will help you.
how did you tell the phone to use internal memory? i'm running across this same problem where my external sd card is not being mounted or read
I couldnt find a dedicate thread for Vodafone Smart tab 2. So I guess I ll post this here maybe will help some people.
This tablet is basicaly a Lenovo A2107 (A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA)
- with single sim slot ( call feature restricted - only data enabled) and 4gb storage (1.8 gb user available)
For root - you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044496
User isyrider managed to install recovery and pemergency rom unlocking the calling feature also.
I was looking for a way to swap the internal storage with the sd card so I could get more space if posible without installing a custom rom to avoid incompatibility issues that could appear. Directory bind can help with big game files like gameloft but those 2 gb are still not too much . I was unable to install N.O.V.A 3 because it requires 1.81 gb free on sd.
Anyway long story short . To swap internal memory with SD card you need to have root and replace your VOLD.FSTAB file from system/etc with the one I attached.
You need to have root .
Use any root explorer.
Unzip attachment
Rename your VOLD.FSTAB to VOLD.FSTAB.BAK
Copy my VOLD.FSTAB to system/etc
Reboot.
Check in settings, You will see your sd card listed as internal memory.
This combined with link2sd app will give you plenty of space to install anything .
Hope this helps .
Hi icrazy, I've tried this procedure but unfortunately, I wasn't able to copy your 'vold.fstab' to the directory 'system/etc'. I've rooted my unit before I did this. Now the unit cannot detect SD card. I cannot rename/copy/move any file on this directory. please help... How to restore it, Thank you in advance
Hello, I don't understand what happen. If you were not able to copy my vold.fstab what did you change ? I ask this because you must have done something if now is not working.
Anyway it looks like is a problem with your file explorer , make sure it has read /write rights for system files.
Can you please share some light on isyrider? what is that? where can we find it? Google search didn't seem to help me with this
Is there any way in unlocking the phone feature without installing a different ROM? The last time i did that, with another lenovo tablet, i lost my 3g capabilities , and honestly i don't want to repeat that thing allover again.
Thank you icrazy, working perfectly
I have now 2x Vodafone Smart Tab II 7" with 4 GB and 8 GB storage on internal memory
Hi i managed to use the vold.fstab and replace the internal memory with the sdcard but my problem wasnt solved because the tablet also has another partition 503mb of internal storage and when i install any app will install the apps data on that internal storage even if i have sdcard or internal memory as default write disk so after a couple of apps i have the out of space issue because the internal storage is full is there any way to swap the internal storage 503mb ( not the internal memory 1.85gb) with the internal memory or even with the sdcard this is really stupid why have only 503mb of internal storage if the apps save keep saving data on that partition
Regards

Sorry to bump an old thread but i'm also wondering how it's possible to install a custom rom on this tablet. Any help aprecciated
Hello,
because there is no specific forum section for this device I ask my question here, I hope the mods can move it to the correct forum section...
Yesterday I bought a brand new Acer Liquid E2, I love the phone but there are problems!
First: I put a 32gb MicroSD card in the phone and it crashed and now my 32gb MicroSD card is damaged!
Then: I put a 8gb MicroSD card in the phone, it has recognised the card but when I try to move apps to sd card the phone shows that it has only 1,65gb memory while I have 8gb MicroSD capacity!!!
Can anyone tell me for God's sake why the hell I only can move 1,65gb apps on SD while I have more memory!!!???
I hope we can fix that problem otherwise I will turn my phone back.
Thanks in advance

I have an acer liquid e2 and encountered that problem to
the problem is that you only can move apps to the internal SD-Card
there are 3 different memory "cards" on the acer e2
4gb internal memory splitted in two parts
- 1.65 gb usable as internal SD (sdcard0)
- and the rest is the internal memory for the android OS and other stuff
Your external SD card (sdcard1)
When you move apps to sd it will automatically move them to sdcard0 wich is only 1,65GB
somwhere
There is a way to switch the sdcard0 and sdcard1 so you can move as many apps to your sd as it is big but you need root to do this
rooting the acer liquid E2 is still a bit experimental but soon everything will be possible with our E2 its an awesome phone for the relatively low price so don't turn it back so soonsomwhere
I saw this somewhere on a french android forum will post the link if i can find it
Hi,
An official update from Acer is on its way to allow external SD to be used for apps. Should be there soon.
Root is not experimental it's very easy to do and you also can get CWM recovery, a way to swap internalSD and externalSD plus a way to extand internal memory (won't be necessary when Acer releases its update).
I have all this written in French but lack time to translate those in English. Don't hesitate to go to the forum request thread so XDA opens a forum for the E2

Has this update (ability to move or install apps to ext SD card) now available? Can someone provide a link, please? I tried to find it in Acer's web site but found nothing.
Thanks!
It's being distributed as an OTA update so you're phone should warn you of the availability (unless you're rooted).
I have the WW_GEN1 version available here . Just copy it to SDcard and flash through recovery.
Hey guys. I know this post isn't related to root or anything but I really want someone to help me out on something. I recently bought a QMobile A1 (It's an Android One phone and I think it is the Karbonn Sparkle V changed into QMobile A1 in Pakistan, so you can consider it a Karbonn Sparkle V) and it came with Lollipop pre-loaded. So I updated it to Marshmallow and updated all the security patches and other updates. I also added a 16GB Micro SD Card info it and formatted it as Internal Storage. I tried taking some photos and videos but they all saved on my internal memory and it got full really quickly. Nothing goes inside the SD Card except for apps. I'm really worried about this because one of my relatives also bought the same phone and same SD Card but he could save photos and videos automatically on his SD. I asked him if he modified anything but he said he didn't. Please help me out because I only have 8GB of which only 5.75GB is available to me :crying: Thanks
Bro I think it is due to you have selected it as your internal storage. unmount the SD card and reset your device then Add your micro SD card and use a portable storage not internal it might work.
Nevermind, guys! I just migrated all of my internal data to SD and now it saves everything in it! Thank for the contribution though!
Hey guys!
So,i don't know how to start a post...
Here's my problem
I have a Bmobile AX660 (As you can see, not very popular )
The thing is that I found some custom ROMS based on CyanogenMod 12.1, the thing is that it works perfectly on the phone, except for one thing
The SD card is the main storage, obviously it seems not be a problem, but I use my SD on other phones, and I can't afford another one (That's why is bmobile). And when I eject the SD, I can't even take screenshots!
So... I can fix this option?
Hi !
As long as the sdcard is the main storage , the device needs it so you can`t remove it , taking a screenshot or a shot requires internal storage
Cheers
