[Q] Swap storage partitions? - LG Optimus 4X HD

I have a 32GB sdcard, but gameloft being idiots as usual don't give me a choice to use it. I know of gl to sd but it caused me some issues resulting in me downloading data again. Does someone know how to change sdcard to /sdcard and internal into /external_sd? Its been done on phones such as some galaxy s series so why not us? Failing that can someone point me to a clear guide on how to use gl to sd properly?

You might want to use Directory Bind. Please refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Works like a charm for me

Ok I binded the obb files for mc4, played great first time, second time I deleted obb file in internal as that's the point, to save space, now I launch the game it deletes the obb from external too and asks to download again, what did I do wrong ?
Wait, I think I get it, when bound, both folders are the same right? So when I deleted the internal memory file I actually deleted the external one. I figured this when I started the download and file shows up in both, correct me if I'm wrong

I don't really remember how the whole binding process goes. As far as I can recall, there's a process where the app copying all the data from your internal storage to the sd card. When it's done, just leave it as it is.
Btw, did you check your the your internal storage space after binding?

[Q] Xperia V - move application to micro SD

I have alerte from my V that the memory is almost full
I would like to know how can i move applicatiobn to the micro SD because the only option that i have in the menu "application" is to move from phone to internal storage
Someone have the solution to really use complementary memory or are we limited to the 4gb included into the phone for application ?
Thanks in advance
Use Link2SD. It can move applications to the SD card
Thank you but it doesnt work.
Infact android consider the second part of internal memory as a sd card and don t see the real card to move the application
The V have 3 memories :
Memory of phone
Internal memory
Sd card
The solution should be to invers the internal memoory and the sd card but how ?
Use directory bind. Works perfectly in mine.

I have some problem with directory bind.
The default is sdcard/ext scard. I supposed this is gears towards Samsung devices.
How do we do it in V?.
Or any other apps that does the same?

Just enter source from ext_card and target to sdcard. Works perfectly. Btw, I let directory bind do the transfer (check transfer files)

[CWM][Script]Storage Swap for 4.2 ROMs

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.

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.

Issue with firmware? (Moving apps to SD)

Hey guys, everytime I use apps that move games to sd (GL 2 SD, Foldermount etc) my phone reboot itself when I try to enable it.
In Foldermount after you have moved it, you need to press on pin button, when I do that, phone restart. Same with GL 2 SD, press play and it restart. Anyone have any idea why this happen?
Before on 4.1.2 I use extsd2internalsd_xz method. Since it is not support on 4.2.2, I am on Root 10.3.1.A.0.244.

What a life saver! Thank you very much! I must have miss that out. One question thou, after I have mount it with Foldermount. I than used File Explorer to check out, I still see game that I mount from Internal Memory and also see it on SDCard, I guess that is normal? Even if the file size is big on Internal Memory?

I do not use any of those apps, but yes, I believe that is normal. If I remember correctly, a symlink is created, which links the files to the internal memory. They are not actually on the internal card though.

[Q] Atrix obb folder

I have search repeatedly and tried many apps, app2sd, link2sd just to name a few, but for nothing i cannot get to move the obb data folder from the internal storage to the sd card.
If i move from the Android\obb\ folder any of the game files the game immediately stops working, if i move it back, it immediately starts working again.
Most of the premium games i play GTA, NFS, etc use this folder, which means to say i constantly have to move back and forth folder on the sd card just to play a game.
Is there any way to like create a symbolic link like pointing like from /android/obb to /sdcard1/android/obb ?
Or is there any working solution? I am not really concerned about having all my apps on the sdcard, just that one folder since it occupies allll my space. Any solution is welcome.
I am on a rooted AHD running stock AT&T JB Rom
Please any more info required just let me know.

Do the swap storage mod.

Can you please point me in the direction of the mod that works for our AHD.
All the mods seem to have varying responses to there ability to actually work, at least from the feedback provided.
Sorry for being such a noob about it, but i followed many of the mods/guides to no avail.
Yaaaa, never mind finally found the solution using lidroid.
Yaa, now i can fill up my sd card with the obb stuff and just install the apk to the internal.
Thanks alot anyhow xda

Something wrong with your keyboard??? There are lots of missing letters/incomplete words.
LOL! Nothing wrong with the keyboard buddy . Just not typing Xtra letters as one can easily pronounce the words. Anyway, used to typing in short to save time.
