There is an official dionic bootstrap app on the market that gives you the ability to choose both internal or external. It's like 2.99 but we'll worth it.
I'm having the same problem as the OP. Using Liberty build 46 but I think this is a bionic-specific issue, not something to do with custom roms. I want my actual sd card to mount as /sdcard and not as /sdcard-ext. I looked through the CWM mount menu but I didn't see what I should change there.

you are talking bout something different than the op. he just couldnt see his sd in cwm recovery. the older version would only read the sd ext but the official version on the market will read both.
there is a thred somewhere that does kinda a flip flop of the sd cards so that your sd card ext mounts as your internal and your inernal mounts as your sd card ext. BUT you cannot use usb massstorage mode when you plug your phone to the computer or it will bootloop. you have to use media sinc mode only

Like it says in the title I have downloaded kejar's deodexed debloated but when I boot to recovery it doesn't show my downloads folder or any folders at all except backups in nandroid. So I renamed it to update.zip and moved it to the root of sd I tried navigating to it through choose from sd but no luck still. Then just as a shot in the wind I tried running install update.zip from sd since I knew everything was in place for that and still no dice. Oh I have also tried restrapping and tried again. Anyone else having this issue or know what I can do?

Your moving it to sd card not sdcard-ext, you got to remember the sdcard is actually the phone, sdcard-ext is the sd card. Just move the file then try you should be good

hey guys.
I want to use easy mp3 downloader to install music to my ext sd card but the folder for the external sd card is in /
and the app only downloads to the internal sd card so i cant get the path to it.
Anyone ever have this problem or find a way past it?
contact the dev and have them add support for the ext-sd i believe would be the only way unless you opened the .apk and modified it yourself
I'm sure there is a way to change mount points. Tweet and ask Hash. He actually responds very well on Twitter. Or google Android remount sdcard.

I modified the original script to work for our mount, and then put it in a flashable to flash after flashing a ROM to have storage swapped right away after booting. No need to manually move the script to /system/etc/init.d any more.
Let me know if there's any issues.
Thanks to original script author and others who figured out what mounts are which.
DOWNLOAD
Script info:
extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The result is a very big increase of installable apps on your device.
All credits to Mattiadj of xda forum for the idea and script and to mike1986 for the cmw zip.
Script Modified for U.S. Galaxy S3s by Zedomax at GalaxyS3Root.com to be compatible when sdcard is not inserted.
This is ONLY for 4.2 custom ROMs with unlocked boot loaders of course. Not tested with stock 4.1 or CM10 (4.1) You are welcome to try it though and let me know the results.

Strange, after loading the zip and went to the storage menu i see the same for internal memory and there is no external sdcard now.

I lost all of my game data. I have TB but I can seem to get it to stick with root explore. I'll format both sdcard and the external , reinstal the zip and hope that I can get it back.

If you formated both sdcards you pretty much deleted everything you had there mate.

To me both of my cards still showing on cwm. How i tell if the job was done correctly. The attachment show no changes for internal but external is not there anymore as it reads internal space

I can't get 4.2 to read the storage in settings correctly. I put a specially named folder on my external SD card and when it shows up as internal I know it works. You won't be able to see the external SD anymore which is now technically the internal.
Formatting SD cards won't make any difference here. All were doing is telling the system one is the other.

I have my game data on my computer, I can't seem to make it stick so I can restore my games to where I was last playing.
I haven't formated anything. After I flashed the zip my data went away, but on the other hand I can see the data folders in root explorer.
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
To undo just delete the script in /system/etc/init.d
This isn't doing anything obtrusive guys its just placing the script for you is all.
Its recommended you do this after a clean install of whatever ROM you run.
As for the game save data I will swap the storage and then OPEN each game to make it create the corresponding folders and then restore
Does it work on 4.1.2 Mexico Retail debloated?
What if i have apps installed and my mmry card is also filled?
Seeing as how it says 4.2 roms only what do you think man? You can try it to see if it works though. You really want to do it on a fresh rom install.

If you want CM11, that is the one to use. If you want CM10.1/CM10.2, use the guide I referenced. They use different tools.

I'm confused on what files to actually download?!! any help please?
Advice please
kk so last night i had a go at the kit kat tutorial.
Think I got the right files in the end. (see attachment photo)
Managed to get CWM flashed on the 32gb micro SD and insert it into the Nook and reboot it into recovery.
Then i needed to back up stock OS to SD but it goes through the process but at the end it says no EXT SD found.
So it has the back-up on the internal memory which i cannot get off.
Why did it not back up to EXT SD?

That EXT SD it says it cannot find is not the external SD you are thinking of. It is looking for an old scheme not used anymore where apps sometimes were stored in an extra partition named that on the external SD. Your backup was probably stored on the external SD. It depends on which option you chose when you made it. If you chose the wrong option it might be stored on the internal memory. In any case it is easy to get it off.

It's ok mate I followed your tutorial and I'm all up an running on CM 10.2
I just copied the back up from the internal memory via USB to my PC so all good!
Ran into some road blocks with CM Nightlies. I install the new one everyday if they have one for download.
I downloaded todays version, rebooted into recovery to install. Now my phone is telling me there is no SD card to mount. Okay, whatever, I go to reboot my phone and now I have an encryption password to access the files on there. I have never set one. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Still no dice. It just keeps telling me it count mount the SD card... Should I try flashing TWRP or another recovery?
So I was able to mount an external SD card and install the update. However, the phone is still encrypted. I never encrypted my phone so I don't even know how to go about getting around this. Does anyone have any ideas?
This phone was working just fine on the Nightlies until this...
Try flashing to a Stock ROM and then going back to Cyanogenmod

Found a fix. Apparently this is a somewhat common problem.
I went to Mounts and Storage on Clockworkmod, then format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). From there I installed the latest Nightlies and Gapps. Lost everything on my phone, but luckily all the important stuff is shared with my cloud services. Thanks for the help man!
