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

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

So i flashed cm10 again, somehow i menaged to backup data trough clw and after flasing phone is workig fine both memories are ok and ext card is ok. Pictures are back as videos and all other stufs.....
The strange thing is if i replace vold.fstab with some from forum about mesona, phone mem. is ok, ext.card is mounted as internal and all apps are working exept cam and galery and internal mem is not shown buy settings/storage just from es exlporer.
it would be good if someone can menage to make this working it looks like half way trip...
Seeing xp miro to have 8gb internal m. and working cam would be grate.

First of all editing vold.fstab is pretty straight forward. I don't know why you went for replacing the edited vold.fstab. Its just a matter of interchanging 'sdcard' and 'externalcard' text.
For the apps not working, did you try clear cache, data, force stop and then restart ? It may solve the issue.
For Camera did you try changing data storage option ?

Sorry for lat respones,
I try to edit vold.fstab by replacing ext.sd with sd and whne phone booted external card changed to internal 8gb but internal disapired and i couldn't execs it. So i restored originial vold.fstab and after boot both mem disapired, not seen in phone explorer or pc, just clw can see ext.sd and internal so i reflashed cm10 and all is back to normal.
In cm10 i dont have option in camera menu sd/intermal or external default is internal, so i manuel copy pics to external and galery works normal-see all pics.

Did you just replace external SD card with SD card ? If that is the case, it would definitely cause issue... In fact you should have swapped Ext SD and SD in vold.fstab, not just replace the ext SD with SD. Hope I could see what's there in your vold.fstab file.
I have a weird problem. I am using my Xperia L, running 4.2.2(Out of The Box) with the latest official Firmware. Its not rooted.
4.2.2+ supports moving Apps to SD without Root.
I have Noticed one thing. If youre going to Buy a New Phone Running 4.2.2+, If you start the phone for the first time(just after buying), with no memory card, after youve switched on the phone and try to move Apps to SD, it wont Happen!! The apps will only move to the Internal Storage.
But,if you start the phone(For the First Time) with memory card Inserted, then it will recognize the mem Card as Your external storage. From settings now you can move Apps to SD.
Why does this Happen??
Can anyone help me to solve this??
Factory reset Is an option i Know but I wanted to Know if Other solutions Existed.
I tested It with Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 and Moto E , by Inserting the Mem card first, Then Starting the Phone (for the First time). For Both of the phones, the Mem card was taken as the external and apps could be the Moved to SD via Settings.
But for my Xperia L, I didnt insert the Memory card and switched it on(just after buying) . When I inserted the Mem Card later, and tried to Move Movable apps to SD, the apps would only move to The Internal Memory.
Thank You in Advance.

we cannot move apps directly to external memory, we are only allowed to move apps to internal..but if u wanted to move apps on external, u nid to swap them but its too risky if u dont know what u are doing.

Anyways The Problem Has been Solved. I Did a Factory reset While The memory Card was Inserted and after the Reset The Apps can be moved Now to The External. My Phone's ROM has Now become 4.1 gb and External memory 6.9gb(i have a SanDisk Ultra Class 10 8GB).
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! I haven´t been installing roms ans such in a very long time but now my phone broke and I want to use a 2015 samsung J7. My only problem is I need more drive space so I´d like to use a 64gb sd as internal storage. Can you recommend any ROM that can do that?
Thx so much!!!
