Maybe someone can help me!!Where is 'sdcard' folder?
Thank you very much
Put aroma file in ext SD card
reboot in recovery
select update zip from ext SD card, in root you will find aroma zip file, and root you are seeing is Ext Sd
Do 1 thing, in PC first create a folder in Ext SD, suppose 'My Ext SD ' and find that folder with aroma and copy files to that folder, it will be easy for you to idenfy.

Looks for your folder in root directory not under ext sd

After making a (failed) nandroid backup through PhilZ CWM Touch 3 (latest, based on 6.0.1.5 if I'm not wrong), I saw into my "clockworkmod" folder
a folder named "µAA" and its weight is aroung 72GB. That's obviously not possible since my SDcard has 16GB of max capability.
The problem is: I can't delete this folder.
Any way to solve this? It's annoying me really much because I can't take photos or videos, and also I can't open the gallery.
Onnect your phone to pc and delete it from the pc
It it doesnt work,then copy all the useful data to pc and then format sdcard

Connect to PC & copy only the necessary files like photos, videos, data etc..then format the Ext memory card..I think this is the only option, since you are unable to delete it..I had this same issue in my previous phone's memory card..

Hello everybody.
I'm searching for a way to swap between the internal sd storage and the external one on my Galaxy S3 Mini because the internal storage is not enough big to install games and other big apps. I've seen there is a way for the S3, but I don't know if it's possible for the Mini too...
So, please, if anyone can help me...
EDIT: I've found a way to do that, and it only needs to have a Galaxy S3 Mini i8190 rooted.
Okay let's go.
I took the method from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886091
But it's not exactly the same on the Mini.
The following quote is the instructions taken from the thread with the improvements ( in red ) for the i8190.
NB: I can't answer to questions since I'm not expert at all, I got it working so I give you the solution, that's all I can do.
1. First, I'd recommend making a Nandroid backup of your phone.
2. Next, just to be extra safe, I would backup your internal SD card to your PC. While you are doing that, if you have data on the external SD card, back that up too.
3. Next, I would format your external SD card to fat 32. (You could probably use Ext format too, but I didn’t test that.)If you already have it in that format, and have content on it, this won't affect the content, but back it up just to be safe. It’s probably better to have the Ext SD blank to begin with, you can always copy back its content from your pc.
4. Next copy the contents of the internal SD to the External SD card. This is to avoid confusion about apps and such.
5. Next install script manager free from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...anager&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
It will show up on your phone as S manager ads.
You MUST install BusyBox too!! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
6. Download the mod from here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD Card Hack SG3/11extsd2internalsd
( save as ) And put it into the /data directory of your phone
7. You must edit this script for it to work on Mini. Change /mnt/sdcard to /storage/sdcard0 and /mnt/extSdCard to /storage/extSdCard
(This vary depending of your phone, so check where is located internal storage, it was /storage/sdcard0 for me, and the external SD, it was /storage/extSdCard for me.)
8. Open the script manager app, and select Browse as Root in the config screen. Tell it to remember this setting.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD Card Hack SG3/Script manager browse as root and save.png
9. Using Script Manager, navigate to that file in the /data directory. Press and hold the file name until the menu pops up, and click on properties.
(Unix geeks set them to 777, and everyone else copy the picture below. Click OK.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD Card Hack SG3/Permission settings 777.png
10. Click on the scipt now.. Click on the “Is script” button.
11. Now tap on the buttons that say Su, Boot, and Save. The file name will come up in yellow after the save.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD Card Hack SG3/Script manager setting after save.png
12. Reboot your phone and you should see the swap working and be able to access both internal and external SD cards. The external card will show up as sdcard, and the internal card will show up as extSDCard. Your apps should now install to the external card, since your phone will think it's the internal card. Is that confusing? It was to me too!
Good luck and please share your experiences specifying which ROM you used, so that others can avoid frustration.
Thank you’s always appreciated.

for big apps or games you need to put a additional "external" sdcard in your galaxy s3 mini..... for example i have installed the game "Need for Speed - Most Wanted" 1,8GB of the game is on my additinal "external" sdcard and the rest (40mb) are installed on device.....

I've an external sdcard, I bought one of 32GB, but I can't use it as I wanted to because there is no way to install apps into the sd card. So I'm searching for a way to let know the phone that the external sd is the internal storage and that the internal storage is the external sd card.
I've found a way!
Well what is it then.

Please take a look at my first post. I edited it with the solution.
Hi Jalubyc
I've just tried your solution above and my phone is showing under storage
Device memory Total space 4.54GB
Available 378Mb
SD Card Total Space 29.71GB
Available 27.12GB
So it looks like my first attempt didn't work
Problems I found were firstly at step 6, I couldn't download the mod on phone. I was using chrome and there is no (save as) option. I can only save the link. On PC I saved the page as a text doc and edited the sdcard and extsdcard bits before saving the script. Where is the /data directory? Am I supposed to create a "data" folder in the root of my internal sdcard or copy to the data folder in the android folder? I put it in the android/data/ folder and it didn't work.
Once this is working is it safe to delete the contents of sdcard0 to get my 4.54gb back. I also take it any ROM updates would revert everything back

Oh no you're totally out of the solution. The /data directory is at root of the phone, so not in a sdcard. Use chrome from your PC to save as and put in into your sdcard before putting it into the /data directory with ES Explorer or another file explorer that's supporting root.
For the ROM updates I don't know because I've never tried.
I still cannot save the script using 'save as' as I don't have the option. I have 'save link as' which saves it as a text document. Edited it as stated.
I've found the data folder but ES explorer wouldn't allow me to copy my script to it and is showing the folder as blank.I got root browser lite from the play store which worked okay in allowing me to copy to the data folder. I used s manager lite to do its stuff and rebooted. No success - .
I'm using Android version 4.1.2/ Build number JZO54K.I8190DXALL3 .
Are you positive about the /storage/ change to the script as I remember when using directory bind it was /mnt/extSdCard/ and /sdcard/.
There is a /mnt/sdcard/ too which contains the same files as other location so possibly script can run unchanged. Getting a bit frustrated now as I have an old HTC Desire with over 300 apps (70+ games) with internal memory of 137Mb out of 148Mb and 10Gb free on sdcard out of 32gb
---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------
Ok working now. Your script changes were correct. Device memory total space 29.71GB with 27.12GB free. Sd card total space 4.64gb with 800Mb free.
Now to get my full 4.64Gb back which folder contents do I delete? I think deleting the contents of extsdcard in my files. Thanks you've changed my phone from a very limited phone to something much better.
It is a bit strange way to solve free space problems.
I have 8GB version with 4.5GB free the box. When I installed all games and apps that I needed there was something about 800MB free.
My solution is simple:
1. install Directory Bind
2. Make link: mount="/sdcard/Android/", source="/storage/extSdCard/Android/" with "Transfer Files" option
3. Wait till the end of process (can take alot of time depends from your data)
4. Enjoy!
After this simple manipulations I got 3.6GB free in internal memory, installed 2 additional games (including Need for Speed Most Wanted with huge data) and it shows 3.4GB now.
You can make as much links as you want, of course. But moving "/sdcard/Android/" to external SD is enough
I tried directory bind and it just copied the contents of my internal sdcard to my external sdcard. It didn't move the contents as it was supposed to. I ended up with a copy of the files on both sdcards. If I tried to delete from my internal sdcard it also deleted the contents of my external sdcard. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I had done wrong as I'd followed the instructions as far as I could tell. Now my phone is seeing a massive internal sd card and a 4Gb external sd card. I still can't get spiderman total mayhem to work though it throws up an error while downloading the game data
you should not bind root folders via directory bind. And it makes symlinks so it will looks like content does not deleted from internal SD but it shown from external SD already.
flashable zip
Hi!
Do you think that is possible to install the mod via a flashable zip?
Many thanks!
Yes it is possible. Take a look of the post for the galaxy s3, it is explained. But you must edit the script to make it working.

Not possible, we do not have a unlocked kernel, therefore we cannot load unsigned zips.

Sorry I don't understand what you've written. What do you mean do not use to bind root folders? What's a symlink?Are you saying the folders I'm seeing on sdcard0 are dummy folders and the contents have been moved to extsdcard? I've swapped my sdcards over using the script now so no longer using directory bind.

#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 resut is a very big increase of installable apps on gs3

Symlink
symlink in human words is just a folder redirect.
For example, you have symlink that links folder "/storage/mydata/" to folder "/sdcard/mynewdata/"
When some application, system or user will try to get data from folder "/storage/mydata/", the data data from "/sdcard/mynewdata/" will be shown but folder path will be not changed.
You should not link root folders such as "/sdcard/", "/" ... coz it may prevent problems.
So I've been able to backup and restore nandroids using CWM but when i'm looking for the actual backups using a file explorer (es file explorer) as well as mounting usb storage on Windows, i can't seem to find the backups to delete them. These backups are taking up memory! to my understanding, they should be under clockworkmod/backups but the folder is empty. Any ideas?
Look for clockwork mod folder sometimes these bootleg roms run in a file called 0 (virtual sd card)on your internal sd card, try looking there as well.

You wouldn't mind putting what you have to say under the quoted text? Just makes it difficult to read posts where you quote people cause the flow reverses for a second... also reminds me of Jeopardy -- Answer followed by the Question .

You can always backup what's important on your internal sd and format it...that'll do the trick.
CWM Hides the Backups... Try Rom Manager
Rom Manager Premium is a big help for this issue. I had the same problem, not being able to find the backup. According to Rom Manager Premium (same developer as CWM backup):
"In Android 4.2 backups are placed in secure directory, inaccessible to other apps. Backups can be pulled with adb or by using the Rom Manager Backup Download Server."
The download server is a feature you can only get through Rom Manager. I haven't figured out how to make it work yet, so the plan is to simply reboot into CWM recovery and choose to backup directly to the external SD card. After that, I'm going to upload to Dropbox and erase the local file on the SD card.
Rom Manager is also good for deleting backups that you've made, and which take up space, but which you can't find on your internal SD card.

Hello patskishan,
Just found a way to use Restore feature in Xiaomi.
No need of third party apps or anything.
Use local backup feature as u have used normally. Now you will find that file in MIUI folder, find this folder in both Internal Storage and in SD card (if you have inserted SD card). If SD card used than file will be in MIUI>backup>AllBackup , and if no SD card then the file will be saved in MIUI internal storage (directoty will be same)
((i suggest if u use SD card then also search in both storages in internal as well as SD card, it can go anywhere but generally SD card if used))
Now, alongwith your .bak file you will be seeing a .xml file⬅This xml file is of huge importance. Copy this also with your .bak file.
When you create a local backup the last folder in which the file is saved, is a folder named after date on which you performed this backup action.
For safety purpose copy the folder as it is i.e. don't change the name of folder having name as date, after copying save it where ever u want (if in Internal, move to anywhere in SD or in computer/ & if already in SD then no problem)
Now take a new Mi phone (or perform format on your old phone depending on your situation),
Now after formatting, go in MIUI folder (either in Internal or SD card ((if used)) ), paste your backup files in MIUI>backup>AllBackup. Now open Local backup feature.
As u open u will be able to see app data files with some MB's. Click that/those file(s). As you click it, a a new page will open with Restore option.
Thanx.
