So I have this GT n7000 with android 4.0.4 ICS, rooted. I want to swap my 32 gb external sd card with my internal one. I googled it, found a method that included replacing a vold.fstab file in system/etc but that was only for jellybean. I need a method for ICS. I would really appreciate a step by step method, and preferably a reversible one. Also I can't understand what usb storage means. Is it different form internal sd card?? Thanks........

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.

GL to SD. Basically it can move all/selected gameloft games to EXTERNAL SD card
Dont forget to thank if it works!!
Any solutions?
It has been 2 years. Has anyone found a solution to transfer huge games from internal SD card to external SD card..?

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?
is possible to use external sd as internal with a .pit file?
since .pit file defines the partitions.
sorry my en.
No but there is a solution.
Link here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63255192/AOKP/InvertedSDcards.zip
It invert the mount point of sd cards ( when you'll apply it, external sd will be called mnt/sdcard instead of emmc/sdcard ) and the apps who require data dowloading will consider your external sd like an internal sd. With this tweak will able to have 16Go of internal storage if you have a 16Go sd card (for example).
If you have problem there is another file to revert the mod

Calm down.
I think there is a disturbing file on SD card, thats maybe a virus from your computer.
check one by one the folder in your SD Card. There will be file thats make your SD card memory descrease.
If there is no file that make SD Card memory descrease
try mount you SD card using Card Reader to connect into PC
check in your computer space left of your SD card.
I think the problem is in the SD card it self, because rooting and unrooting cant be descrease the memory value of SD Card.
is the SD card still 11GB on your computer, then Backup all file on the SD Card, then try to format your SD card on your computer. after that you can move your backup file to SD card again.
and mount into phone again
correct me if I wrong.
hope this can be help you
Use easeus partition master or
Mini tool partition wizard or any similer tool to format your SD card ..
Delete all partitions and make one fat or fat 32.
Use easuse partition master it is easy to use..

Hi there,
I recently got an 32 gb sd card but have just realised that apps such as Deezer will only use the phones internal phone storage.
I think my only option is to somehow get the phone to use the SD card as it main memory - will this work? Will I have to root my phone?
Thanks
...also, what would be the easiest way to root the phone? Will motofail2go be the best way and should it work with Jelly Bean?
thx
mount sd
Ok thats easy, what i used was this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928509 (only works on ics) and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369 (onlt works on jelly bean) just make sure to have recovery installed. Those are for root. And for how mount sd card i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369 (just look for your model)
thanks - but I think you copied in the wrong link for the sd card part?
so I rooted and used this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022727
and it worked...(I see 30gb data through camera/deezer etc)
however...
I can no longer access my Settings!! any ideas!? It just says settings cannot be loaded
sorry..i can access settings...i just can't access the storage part of it...should i be worried?
If it won't cause any other issues, I can live with it...
Hello guys, there was a trick to swap internal storage with external in earlier versions of android by editing vold.fstab but it's not working now on android 7.1.
is there another way to do this and how?
