with the flex not having external sd card capabilities, is there a way to partition the internal storage so I can save things to that partition and not lose anything on that particular partition if I soft bricked and had to go back to stock with lg flash tool? I hope you guys understand my question.. or if any other option to accomplish what I want please inform me. or would my best option be to save everything to dropbox? or something else better if you can recommend something.
Not sure what you're asking. When you lgflash to stock you dint lose anything unless you reset after and then it's just user data and not pictures, music, etc. In a side note I use drop box with my 50gb I got from having my note 2

think about it like it's a computer question.. partition a hard drive so I have 2 partitions. one to keep backup stuff on and when I format the main partition with windows I don't lose anything from the other partition...

I understand what you're asking completely...without a custom recovery, custom Roms, etc there's not gonna be a mod like that available. Dropbox is your best bet and has the auto upload feature for all videos and pics taken with the option to only do so when on wifi/Or data. I personally use the hell outta of online storage like that cuz I'll download an album, file, movie etc on the fly, upload it to Dropbox and then download it to my tablet later or my computer to sync with various devices and so on

I get you now op.
This right here. I love some dropbox, plus with only 32GB (20ish) user available you would run out of space very quickly. Again though if you're mainly worried about losing everything with a soft brick the lgflash tool doesn't touch the data partition it your sdcard so you'll be okay there

The internal sd card. The phone already has 6 partitions. This is a good read for basics of how it's set up.

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?

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?

My thanks and credits to:
Shabbypenguin, Garwynn, inteloper and Talustus from dream team for all the help I've got and for making this possible.
I know we have fully working recoveries already and I made this just to learn the process and for the future if I'm not that lucky any more and don't have amazing devs like Shabbypenguin on the same device.
I still have a lot to learn but this is first step I made in that direction.
Here is my recovery tRec_v0.3.6 that has been used for quite some time on E4GT.
It has been compiled with great help from devs mentioned above with CM10.1 for our phones.
The mount points have been fixed thanks to Dees_Troy from TWRP team.
Now back ups are saved in correct location and can be accessed with apps like stock "My Files".
AGAT_Recovery_tRec_v0.3.6.tar
AGAT_Recovery_tRec_v0.3.6.zip
So far I was able to back up, restore, flash zips etc.
It looks like I'm a good student and it works.
I have tried zip file and it works.
Tar should work fine with ODIN but I didn't test it.
I'm using heimdall to flash recovery.img.

It based on CWM recovery.
Have did some changes and edits long ago to make it work with GS2.
Small updates and edits and we got new OS dropping.
So it's somewhat modified and edited CWM.
Been using your recovery and kernel on wife's E4GT for quite some time. Excited for your stuff here.

I havent flashed it yet, but if its based off of CWM there should be an option to "create backup to external memory" right before you execute the backup. But im kinda puzzled on why that would mess with your internal memroy. Are u currently running a TW ROM? or are u on one of the Alpha builds of CM/AOKP?

Look in /data/media/clockworkmod
You will find your backups. You can move them to the sdcard or delete them and start fresh.

You device shows 0.92 GB free space
and back up of this phone is about 3.5-3.6 GB.
So you have 1/3rd of needed space for back up.

According to you first screen shot, externalsd isn't mounting.. So there's an issue right there. I'll flash it over and test.
Also, even if your backup failed, you need to use an explorer and check from root /data/media and see if you have a clockworkmod folder with a partial backup. Just delete it since you know it failed. (partials will still be written on a fail)
@agat - I ran a few lines for @shabbypenguin earlier and you may want to get with him on the mount points.
ls -l /storage/emulated/legacy - gives - /mnt/shell/emulated/0, which isn't read properly. So users won't see the files under /data/media without an explorer. Seems to be common with CWM and the S4. It thinks the sdcard is /storage/emulated/legacy.
Shabby can explain it a lot better than I can.
:edit: Just saw your reply Agat. I know Garwynn's recovery is resolved and if you've been working with him and Shabby, I'm sure yours is as well. Only open issue I'm aware of is exfat.
Thanks guys. Backup on sd card complete. Just can't figure out how I used up all my device storage space.

Just used stock "My Files" app and was able to navigate to both internal and external /clockworkmod/backup folders.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean it's read properly an I need explorer.
I can see and access both folders on my PC and with "My Files" app on phone.
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.

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.

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.

Hi all,
I noticed that my internal sd card has two 0 folders, they are like so
Sdcard/0/0/
Everything from internet saves on the first /0/Download for ex., i am now on arhd 51, but previously on archidroid everything saved inside /0/0/Download, is there any way to fix this, or repartition or something without need to wipe all the data in sd? Because everything is messed up and i don't know any more wich uses what folder and so on.
Thx in front.

can you post some screenshots of the two folders and their content, perhaps i can tell you what to do?
Edit: you can also copy all the files in one of the 0 folders to the other 0 folder and delete the empty one, i asked for screenshots just to make sure if there is any important file in one of those folders that maybe will cause problems with functioning of other apps or system settings if you replace it.
Here is the /0/0/ and i cannot delete archidroid folder or clockworkmod folder (write protected), also if i copy pictures from 0/0/DCIM/Camera to 0/DCIM/Camera, they are not shown, even after reboot when mediascanner is running, when i transfer them back they are imediately shown.
Edit: i can delete archidroid and clockworkmod folder, but via phone, not via pc, but the probem with transfering pictures to now used DCIM still persists.

oke bro, here is what you should do everything personal and important to you like pics./music/documents copy to your external sd card or to your pc if possible both should be safe. format your internal sd card of the phone in recovery mode after everything is restored back put your files back into proper folders and all should be fine again. you are rooted and have custom recovery installed right?

Yes, i know now for future, but, one more question..
It's 'calculating time for copy...' now, i see it'll take ages to 'calculate', so, is there any option to just mount the internal sd card, i remember i could mount it via CWM on my old S2 and everything went quick, but i cannot mount just SD anymore, only as a 'Media device', it seems quite slower..
Do you know an option to do that?

Reboot the phone. It's possible your Memory Card has reached the end of its lifespan. SSDs don't last forever. After they die, you can only Read and not Write.

It's not about the age mate. It's about how many times, data has been written onto it. I think the limits on newer SSDs are about 10000000 times. I'm not sure, I read about that back in School during Computer class.

Yes, that's correct. I didn't use it that much, there's no way this is the problem. Besides, at the end of it's lifecycle the memory starts to slow down, but you can still use it.
In my case it works, i can listen to music and install apps from it without any problems, but i can't copy or delete anything.

By the way, use the exFAT file system, it's 64 Bit and more efficient than FAT or FAT32 and is supported by most Android phones. I use exFAT on all my phones.

On kk and lp there are a limitation to use the sdcard from installed apps, the only app that have write permision is the File commander that comes preinstalled. If you wan's to have full rw you must be rooted and install "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" app from the PlayStore. After running the app and making it rw you can uninstall this app, and you will have rw access on sd.
