Hello world.
Yesterday I've bought a 16Gb Class 10 ADATA sd card. And there is a question : is there any way to mount external 16gb card as internal memory? I've searched in the net and found that the vold.fstab file should be edited. I've tried to edit it but everytime nothing happened.
Especially I'm asking you, devs which have experience with developing thing for our Galaxy S.
PS: Here is my clear vold.fstab file : https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjtr4fcz7temamw/vold.fstab
PS2: Sorry for my bad english
TIA
have a nice day
(bump) anyone have any ideas?
again bumped, anyone please?

Hi guys, i don't know if this are the right place to post my question so sorry for my probably mistake..
To return in topic. I have an O2X with cm7 and i recently got a 16GB sd card. The cm7 mounts the internal sd card as /sdcard and external sd card as /mnt/emmc.. when i install some apps or games the system use the internal memory and the internal sd card (for app's data).. I've searched on the forum but i'm not understand very well so my question is, what is the best choice of "management" of this memories?? is possible to mount external sd card ( mnt/emmc ) as sd card ( /sdcard ) and eventually don't use the internal sd or mount it as /data partition?? Thanks in advance guys
Ps: Sorry for my bad english
In CM7 you got a option in settings and cyanogenmod settings where u can switch this. Go through the menu and look. Don't remember where but it's there.
Hi there, I know that theres a lot of posts on this forum regarding this issue but i didn't find comprehensive answer to how to move Apps to an External SD card on the G Note.
I'm not an expert with Android as I am in the transition from the iPhone, but I'm not too much of a noob as I have a bit of knowledge due to hacking and jailbreaking with the iPhone.
Now here is my problem. I have a lot of Apps that are hogging my storage and I have come to a point where I cannot install anymore Apps. When I try to copy it to the external SD card (16gb Class 10), it is actually copying it to the internal SD card. I have tried all those Apps like App2SD and I still haven't had any luck. I even tried all the tutorials on this site and still no luck.
I know there are easy methods with Froyo, but I don't want to downgrade as I am currently on "ICS(4.0.4) Stunner Beta 5.0" and it runs like a dream on the Note! If worse case scenario that I have to downgrade to achieve this, the lowest I will go back to is a factory rooted Gingerbread.
Even when I was on factory rooted Gingerbread I still had this same problem before the upgrade.
Right now the only way is to edit vold.fstab file but that will cause bigger issues with ICS and Stunner in particular
Your best hope is wait for a new version of Stunner where the internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/emmc and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and that should solve your issues completely
I read Neo talking about it and I think he will implement this structure in the next release
Thanks for the quick reply! Thats great news.. If i have to wait for a Stunner update, is there another ICS or Gingerbread release or tweak that could fix this?

I have micromax funbook with ICS 4.0.3..in my tablet internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/extsd - Even I need a solution as most HD games are huge and its usable internal memory is only around 2gb.
In my friends Samsung Galaxy S external sd card was mounted as "sd card" and we were able to move installed apps to 16gb memory card need this fix.

Try searching re-partitioning your internal memory. It increases your current 2 GB Max internal memory to 4-6-8-10 GB by reducing your internal sd card. This way you can install many apps without having to move it here n there. thread is by @metalgearhathaway.
A problem
Actually, i modified the vold.fstab file and partially bricked my tablet. It gets stuck on the booting logo and recovery console seems to be useless because the wipe data/factory reset option doesn't work. It's an A23 based 7 inch tablet for which i'm unable to find a ROM to flash it with. Any help would be appreciated. Or is there any way to re-modify the vold.fstab file to the old state? Or to reset the ROM?
Can you install apps or move app data from internal storage to external micro sd card? I sure hope O4X won't have problems like the SGS3 has here.
no, you don't move app with default app manager.... sorry for my bad english
No problem with your English. Anyway, is there any way to move large data files to external micro sd? With just 16gb of internal memory in O4X and huge hd games over 1gb each, makes it that much more frustrating to own a 64gb micro sdxc and not really be able to maximize it.
eh ... unfortunately is a problem with this phone .. s also the galaxy 3 has the same problem .... if successed to make the root will change things
PS: SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH
Yup I've read about DirectoryBind over at the SGS3 forums. I think that may do the trick.
all we need to do.. is "waiting for root". ^^ hope some one can root this device soon.
Root is on the way. Once we get root it should be easy as apple pie I hope)
Hello everyone and thanks for being here to help people like me.
First of all,sorry for my bad written english,(i`m from Romania) and sorry if opening this thread was a bad ideea. I apologize in advance.
Ok. My problem is with my Samsung Galaxy mini II. Today i wanted to put a game on it and i`ve copied data files on my sd card. It didn't work. Then i tried to download game data via Wi-fi from the game menu. A message comes up that tells me i don`t have enough space on my phone`s internal memory. I don`t know why it didn't downloaded directly to may 8gb sd card. Ok. I`ve searched the internet and find SwapSD. I heard that you can make your sd card being recognize as internal memory. I installed it,run it,exactly how i was given instructions. And then i wanted to erase all my data from both internal and external memory so i can install everything on the bigger memory space.After i formated via recovery my sd card dosen't show up in storage,under settings section. Now i`m trying to install the stock rom but when i press install from sd card it says E: Can't open /sdcard/update/zip (bad)....
Can anyone please help me with this situation ? I just want to have my normal 2.3.4 rom and a working sd card.
Thanks in advance.
Problem Solved !!! Please delete the thread. Thanks.
Hello masters,
I recently root my moto G because the storage is not enough when I want install some new apps. 8G is too small!
I want to use my 32G external sd card as the internal sd card. I found some people use root explorer to modify the vold.fstab, but I didn't find this document in my phone.
By the way, now I install the system-The Titan Prime ROM[APRIL 26](Version 1.1.0 STABLE). I don't know if the 5.0.2 has the vold.fstab document.
Anyone can help me to solve my problem?
Thanks a lot! I come from China, and I used to reading some experience post which is translated from XDA. Now I just go directly to the headquarter, feeling good.
Hoping someone can help me..........
Please come and help me~
There is nobody............
Don't think changing fstab is safe.... But I'm a noob.
It's better to move obb files to external using folder mount
I personally wouldn't even try. It's iffy at best and some apps just won't operate correctly that way. Just go into your apps settings and move what will move to the SD card then go into the storage settings from time to time and delete the cache. Even moving some apps to SD will give you problems so you may have to move some back if you experience problems.
