Hi,
I have some apps which only can see internal storage on my phone, so I thought I could somehow link the external into the internal. The 'ln' command fails because of different file systems. Next, I tried using 'mount' binding, but it just says "invalid argument".
Any suggestions?
I just found this awesome free app: http://www.devasque.com/foldermount/
Works like a charm!
Root required

Is there a way to swap internal ans external sd card on the GN? I use extensively the storage, and I prefer my apps store their files on a random sd card.
So, I'm also searching an app that can tell other apps to store their stuffs on ext. sdcard. Many apps don t allow user make the choice.
Thanks!

Perhaps this app will do the trick for you:

It's gat to be a procedure such as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474
anyone know about this app!? i installed this app on my phone but i don't know how to use it! according to the developers, this app is for swapping external sd to internal? but i don't know how to do that!!!!
Man... everything is described on official Google play site:

I am using the script with smanager from play store on my gtab 2 7.0 and love it. Only had 4.59 G of space when I got it and after using the script, I now have 32 g of space. It is fairly simple to use. Choose the mount points from where your internal and external storage is located and then hit external to internal and reboot and you should have been swapped

It depends from app to app. some app are coded that way that they cannot be moved from phone to usb like banking app and few other apps. some games are automatically downloaded to your usb memory and some apps can be moved as well.
please specify which app you are not able to move and i'll check that.
did you find any solution? because I am unable to move too. the button says move to usb storage. but usb storage is not there.

What do you mean usb storage is not there? What exactly are you trying to do?

Sorry sorry it says move to sd card. But there's no sd card inserted. There should be a dedicated button to move to the 16 gb storage.
The 16gb in built storage is referred to as sd card.

That's the problem. I cannot use this option. It says unable to move app. Not enough storage space.

So are you saying when first installing the app it's saying no storage space or when you're transferring it to sd card there's not enough space? Two different things.

when I want to transfer the app then it says no space. I have 8 gb free in storage and around 1 gb internal memory free
What rom are you on? If on jb, try transferring the app to sd using application manager, see if that works. If it still complains it's because you have residual odex files left over from previous uninstall or other expired data files and there are threads on how to remove them.

I have stock jb rom 4.1.2
I am trying using application manager, the app2sd also diverts to the default app manager.
In the application manager, what's the status of the move to sd card button? Is it greyed out or click able? If is greyed out, you will need to use root and TB to move then to sd card.

it's clickable, I can click it but it gives error
I am having the same problem.
I did a fresh factory reset (STOCK JB 4.1.2) and format USB Storage because my Note was becoming unreasonably slow. Needless to say, it's lightning fast now, but as I begin installing apps and internal memory starts decreasing, I want to move apps to the internal SD card (USB Storage) which currently has 11gb free. When trying to move I get "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space". How is this possible?
I do NOT want to use an external SD Card, as the phone starts getting slow whenever anything is downloading to it. Even when updating apps it starts getting stupidly slow to do ANYTHING! Rooting is also NOT an option.
I'm incluing some images to give a better perspective.
As it says. Can't take pictures cuz it says no storage available or even use my xda app. Look in es file explorer under /storage/sdcard0 and it says its not mounted in settings I don't have the option to mount it only external. Is there a way to manually mount it? Iam on cm10.2 nightly btw
I think 4.3 version is not allowing External SD Card to be visible and only the Internal SD Card are allowed to be visible. Try to use X-plorer app or any similar to it and go to root > storage > and you can see there "sdcard0" and "sdcard1" and open it. Hope this will help you.

Restarting a bunch of times fixes it. Just frustrating

You can use a program called "Android commander" It can push and pull files form your root directory, so be careful with what you do.
As far as i know, twrp gives you the option of mounting seperate partitions. Don't know about cwm. So if you don't wanna download another program, you can do that. And ofcourse there's always 'adb push'.
Cwm too gives you the option to mount internal/external storage. You have to go in 'mount and storage' then select the last option (I don't remember how it's called) and then you select to mount internal storage and you plug your USB cable.
