Use SD card as default - LG Optimus 2x

Hiya
I was previously on CM7 Kang where my 32gb sd card was used for like the default memory storage, so things like my whatsapp folder and stuff were automatically saved on my sd card rather than internal phone memory
Now I've updated to Django ICS and this isn't the case anymore. Instead, the internal memory is used as default and my sd card is in external_sd
How can I make it so my sd card is the default storage?
Cheers.

What is the best storage location??

Hey guys hope someone have experienced it but i want to know what would be the best storage location for apps? Would the phone run faster if they are in phones memory? Or the sdcard?
Is there any differece about it??
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
It depends on your sd card class a. Class 10 would be faster than internal memory
Thanks for reply.! I currently have 8gb class 4 what would u think? Keep apps on internal memory or on sdcard?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Class 4 is enough for smooth running from sd card,but faster is better!

mine's 8gb class 4 too and it seems fine for me,well apps which has widgets etc shud be installed on internel memory,other apps and games to sd card,install app2sd,it will notify automatically whether the app can be moved to sdcard or shud be left on internal memory

With class 4 there is always problems with your phone recognizing the SD card. Class 4 will work on stock but most of the time it wont work on a custom kernel. I always suggest people to get a class 10. Search the internet you will get it for cheap
Stuff that you have running the whole time you need keep them in memory. With games i suggest putting them on an external SD card. Even if its a slow SD card you save space with your internal memory.
Thanks for the reply guys hey have someone ever tried partitioning the sdcard, and would the phone read the 2 partitions as external storage? Might be a noobi question
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
With app2sd app u create 2 partition,one for storage and one for app2sd.U see one partition(for storage),other is "invisible" because it is for moving apps to sd card.

I have a class 4 16 gb. Its is ok for running games and other stuff. For important stuff, like things that need SU and things you use daily, it is best to keep it in phone memory.

Use ext2 for the second partition. And use app2sd script to make it work =D

Use external sd card as internal sd card?

I have a samsung galaxy gt-i9001 and I am a big fan of gameloft and there games. I play a lot of different games on my phone. But slowly my internal sd card begins to fill up. Now i only have 5 mb left. But i have a 16 gb micro sd card. And there is plenty of memory left there. I was wondering if it is possible to mount my external sd card as my internal sd card, so there will be more space for games and other files needed for apps. Currently i am on the latest cm9 rom. But i am willing to change this.
Also sorry if this question allready was answerd in a different thread. I googled the question but nothing came up.
Also sorry for bad english.

Isnt working for ics... do i really need to downgrade back to gingerbread to be able to do this?
sent from my gt-i9001. running on cm9 build 4
So basically my question is: is it possible to do this on i9001 running on ics?

go in settings/apps/pn sd card/pres app/mount to sd card.
No. Thats not it. Thanks for reply anyway. I would like that my phone "thinks" that my external sd card, my internal sd card is. (Sorry for bad english) so that then actually swap. So when a game saved data automatically on the internal sd card, it will actually be stored on my external sd card... but the apps think they store data in internal...
Am i so unclear?

Partitioning 8gb class 2

Hi,
I have a 8gb class 2 sd card is it possible to partition it???
If yes can you please tell me which format to partition it in
I actually want to use s2e on my phone which is running on apocalypse rom
It is possible. U need to partition it to EXT4 format if you want to use link2sd etc...
But because it is class 2, the phone will become damn slow. So its better that you dont partition it!

If you are using s2e you almost have a partition isnt it? If you do with cmw is a partition ext 3 but if you do it with a pc you may do it fat32 i recomend you do it with cmw works fine with s2e

I can confirm that using clockworkmod is the simplest way to partition an SD.
With google I found a topic aboout using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and I tried but without success
Class 2 is slow for app2sd
I won't give up. I'll wait for you.
I have a SD card class 2 also, but with 16Gb, I partitioned with CWM Recovery and assigned it to swap for the background app. It goes well with Link2SD.

Run the Camera app. Hit 'Settings', 'Storage', and choose

You can choose external sd-card to store in a lot of apps, but you can not set it to be the main,
@edited: now I understood. Just for the camera...

i think this app shows you internel storage as external sd
so look if there's a setting that allows you to swap the "mountpoint" (got no better word right now ) of the app, so that it uses your real external sdcard
i don't think that app to sd is possible with stock ROM and stock KERNEL, test it but I think you wont succeed ...
