I'm currently running safestrap 3.65 on my bionic. I currently have a class 10 64gb sdcard and would prefer to use that for slot storage instead of the 8g internal storage.
I see that /SS symlinks to /sdcard and I guess I'm looking to have it symlink /SS to /sdcard-ext. is this possible?
thanks
negative I'm sorry

First off I have a Galaxy S Captivate and I'm a noob when it comes to the mods on this phone. It is rooted. I bought a 32gb sd card and wanted to partition into two partitions. I did some searching and found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985. It worked great, but it didn't modify the ext sd card. It partitioned the internal card instead. Now instead of seeing the 16gb internal I'm seeing 13gb.
Question is, is there an easy way to 'undo' this without loosing everything and actually partition the external card?
Thanks in advance,

The internal /sdcard partition should only have around 13gb. The entire phone has 16gb this includes all the system partitions and a 2gb partition in /data for user apps.
Okay so it repartitioned the internal storage. Is there a way to point it to the external to partition it? I'm wanting to move the apps to the sd to free up space. Sorry for the dumb questions...
You can't install an app in an external sd.
You can move apps from /data/app, which has the 2gb capacity, to a folder in /sdcard with native froyo software.
Settings>applications> manage applications>"the app you want"> move to sd.
How come when i use astro it shows the files on board memory? If i use root explorer i have to go to sdcard ext to see the files. Is there anyway to change the default?

If its like the Droid 3, internal memory is mounted as /sdcard while the actual microsd card is mounted as /sdcard-ext.
The D3 was the same (I've got one of those) only it didn't come with a 16GB external micro SD. So it's got that going for it.
Same thing on the X2 :/
I recently dug out my Bell XT860 after about 6 months of disuse, and found that my external SD slot doesn't seem to be functioning. I had safestrap 3.05 as my recovery and was running a patched MavROM 4.5.
I just finished an sbf to stock 2.3.6 Bell, and still no SD.
I haven't abused this phone, so there's no reason for it to just stop working. Is it possible that somehow my mount points have gotten screwed up in /etc/vold.fstab?
If someone has seen this problem or could post the contents of their vold.fstab I would much appreciate the assistance. (I think any Droid/Milestone 3 model should have the same mount points.)
Forgot to mention, I already tried manually mounting it through System Settings -> Storage. The SD space available says unavailable, and the mount and format options are greyed out. I have also tried to mount 3 separate, known good cards with no change.

What filesystem are the SD cards formatted to?
Normally fat32 but I also tried ext3. The phone doesn't seem to recognize the sd card slot in the first place. If I could just get someone to post the contents of their Droid 3's (preferably XT860 but I think the file would be the same) /etc/vold.fstab file I could know for sure if it's just a failed sd card slot.

Hello!
Is it possible to use ROM in Safestrap Slots MicroSD card (sdcard-external)? On MicroSD I have ~ 28GB free, and only 6GB Internal SD, so it would be better to test the system on a MicroSD
Thanks for reading

Hello
I am not being able to use TWRP 2.8.1.0 or CWM 6.0.2.5 to be able to mount my 64gb microsd
I read that it was possible to mount 64gb cards with Lg2x but the TWRP and CWM doe not "see" the card
I am trying to use TonyP TBuild 05 since it allows to use the microsd as internal storage
(I know TonyP ROM is not supported anymore, but CM 11 sucks regarding swapping SD mount points, and with 32gb tf card its possible to use)
I already made ext3 partitions in the microsd so I can install apps to the new "internal" storage, and using the rest (Fat32 with 32kb sectors) to my usual stuff (media, mp3s, photos...)
But the recoveries just can not "see" the card, since both TWRP and CWM only see the real device internal storage as sd_card
Any ideas how can I mount my tfcard within the recoveries ? And of course, how can I really use the 64gb with the device ?
Tks
