I was wondering if a dev would be able to come up with a SD Storage flip flop for the Bionic? I had always used the modified app that navenedrob had posted here for my Droid X2,

What a pain in the ass the two storage systems are.
I haven't tested this but it's just a theory since Linux is generally pretty flexible. Hypothetically you could just use the Terminal to unmount both the storage spaces, and then re-mount them but switch the addresses. See here:
/dev/block/vold/179:1 is the address of the external storage, named '/sdcard-ext'
/dev/block/vold/179:58 is the address of the internal storage, named '/sdcard'
so you could HYPOTHETICALLY type into the terminal:
su
unmount /sdcard-ext
unmount /sdcard
mount /dev/block/vold/179:58 /sdcard-ext
mount /dev/block/vold/179:1 /sdcard
and it should mount the two in each others' locations.
Again, I haven't tested this and my phone is on the charger right now so I'm not going to yet, but assuming that works it would probably just restore itself to normal when you reboot since I'm assuming there is a script that mounts the hardware locations to everything when Android loads.

The "script" is vold.fstab in /etc folder. I edited this and was able to change mount locations, but had random reboots when trying USB mount to computer.

Probably because when it's trying to mount it sees them still as what they really are instead of the edited vold.fstab. There is probably somewhere else you would need to edit to get that working correctly also. Or you could try something such as Auto Mount in the Market. Maybe it'd work.
Anyone have luck downloading that file? Seems like its down or its just me?

I was wondering if it was an fstab file but I didn't really poke around. Good to know, thanks!

The problem is after the swap when you connect to the PC over USB it unmounts the internal memory, and dual-mounts the microSD card. If the phone accesses the card at the same time as the PC the phone will reboot. To fix this the init.rc file would need to be modified, but it reverts to the stock file on each reboot.

Let us know if you have any luck, even if it's just a temp solution, because I would most certainly like to quit using this stupid internal memory if possible.

Oh okay. Does the bootloader need to be unlocked to edit that? I'm coming from the Incredible (hence my name) and have just become used to the Incredible's unlocked bootloader.
Anyone have any luck downloading any file in the browser?

CWM zip originally by navendrob
Does not have full functionality yet! Read below!
Here is a CWM zip that I have modified that will flip flop SD storage locations. This is just to speed the process when someone figures out how to mount them to computer.
Important Facts
make your own back up before flashing
mount storage in CWM
Flash
This will mount the actual SD card as SDCARD and internal as SDCARD-EXT, but will not mount via USB to a computer. This will reboot phone and has already been discussed in thread.

Hi friends I'm using Sgt p1000 aokp #40 build everything is great when I connected my tab to PC both internal as well as external memories popped up and I got accessed both
But I recently done some procedure for identication of external memory through file manage it follows
''create emmc.sh on sdcard
open emmc.sh
copy thus command busybox mount -t vfat -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/emmc
to emmc .sh
save it
open script manager.. you can download on playstore
choose emmc.sh
klik boot,, then run it.,
done''
This worked fine now I can detect my external SD on phone through file managers but couldn't access my internal memory(inbuilt) memory when I connect to PC...plz help....

YOU ARE ON AOKP BUILD#40...ARE U KIDDING ME?????ALL THIS TIME I WAS THINKING THAT U WERE ON CM10.....emmc(external sdcard) works fine in AOKP build#40(it's already mounted)......(you can find it here....mnt/emmc)There is already a folder named emmc in the root of your directory and the external card is mounted to it......
Those busybox lines now mounted your ext sd card to (sdcard/emmc) and hence you can't get it mounted on to your pc

Disable the running script...uninstall smanager.....and u should be fine.....

1.Open smanager and then click the menu button>>>>>>click on list option>>>>>>>(there u will find emmc script file)click on it>>>>>Disable boot and superuser by clicking on them>>>>>>and then save it>>>>>>reboot>>>>and it's done.....
To find your external card content>>>>>open root explorer>>>>>>go to emmc folder which is in the root of our sdcard....no need to open sdcard folder....
Done now I can access my both ads on PC but cannot find external SD contents in the emmc folder in root...using es file explorer.

I don't know if the following is unique to my cappy.
the .android_secure folder is mounted on the external_sd. it's mounted ro, with d---- permissions.
no x, so no reading contents, but when copied via adb, the contents are all there. So, a second question- how to move it back to usb storage (aka sdcard)?
I am running Corn 7.06 GB. mostly stock, rooted.
Thanks.

Hmm... "copy" and "paste"?
directory permissions only d without x, so copy wont do.
even so, I am not sure that there isn't a piece of code somewhere wont see or place the folder in usb storage. guess I could remount as read write, copy it, shut down and how it boots. as it is, when I unmount the sd card and remove, then reboot, many of the apps wont run. it used to be that these sdcard apps were placed on the internal sdcard, aka usb storage. I've been using tibu pro to move the apps to 'sdcard'. maybe tibu is responsible?

On my device directory bind loses any folder pairs at boot. FolderMount works, and devolping still goes on... Last version directory bind is from early 2012...

+1, foldermount is best, directory bind does work on stock but not on cm10.1

I've been noticing that I have no storage on my one so I cleaned it out causethe section called 'other' says it's using 18 gb so I deleted the nandroid backup I had and now other still says 12 GB it's using and I don't know what else it is. I've cleaned apps, music and my download folder but still that 'other' anyone have any ideas?

Browse through ES File explorer, or any other explorer. You may have a 0 folder which is sitting in /data/0 maybe..
after upgrading I found I had this odd 12 gig file sitting on the root of my sdcard. i deleted it and everything's running fine
No data/0 folder, is there an app that can tell me what the folder is?

Personally all data are used by CWM when you do a backup.
For see and download it, I used Rom Manager.

It has to do with how 4.3 and 4.2.2 Roms use the sd card vs 4.1.2. If you manually upgraded to 4.3, the symlinks to your sd card were not created, so you are not seeing music, etc.
I'm on a train right now, so can't point you to the correct threads that talk about this, but search for android 4.2.2 and sd card, emulated, legacy, /data/0 .

Uve got astro and root browser. My data/0 folder is empty and my HTC one has no lib.dir file that I can find. I've been deleting stuff and still over 12Gb in "other" I'm also using disk usage and no luck. Arrrggh frustrating

how about you check /data/media
history:
4.1.2: sdcard = /data/media
4.2.2+: sdcard = /data/media/0
but nandroids usually are still in /data/media/clockworkmod or /data/media/TWRP
you need a root-enabled browser to view files&folders in /data/media
SD card data is empty,media folder is empty. I am rooted not sure what u mean by root enabled browser but I enabled hidden folders in astro and root browser and deleted bunch of stuff from the cache folder but there's still a lot in there that I cannot delete. After all the new deletes my 'other' is still at over 12GB. It was at 18GB till I erased my clockworkmod backup but this only came about after doing a backup before flashing a rom.
If I had any hair I'd b pulling it out about now

that's cause the file explorer is not in ROOT mode
Umm no idea there was a root mode I'll look. Nothing indicating a root mode with astro at least only enable hidden files

get ES File Explorer (free app), then enable Root Explorer (screenshot attached)
Got it and its enabled but under sdcard/data is empty
Sdcard/ media is empty except for 1 ringtone
Sdcard/clockworkmod has an empty backup folder and a download folder
I don't seem to have a structure that goes
SD/data/media/0
In the data folder there is nothing
I do see a sd/0 which has a bunch of folders which looks same as under sdcard. I've looked in the sd/0/data=nothing
Sd/0/media=nothing
Sd/0/clockworkmod= nothing
