[Q] how can i move files from sd card to emmc(no pc)

Can someone tell me how to move files to the internal memory without connecting to pc.
when i try doing it wth file manager it says file could not be moved
i cant pay for any app right now, need something free
notenoughspace is one app that can do it but i again i cant pay for it right now. If anyone has it plz post the apk.

What ROM do you use? Astro File Manager works fine with Nokie Froyo and rooted stock.
P.S. Are you aware that if you want to store files in eMMC, you should place them in /media folder, not in /,/system etc.?

I am using cm7 right now, i try to place files in my files and it fails
Edit: it working now, but only copy and paste, when i use move, it fails but thats not a problem anyway.

i think the place you are trying to put the files is mounted as read only. Try putting files in the /media/ folder using astro or esf

Root Explorer is best file/rights manager...
Good question. Once you have Root Explorer working, try emailing the files to your self then install to SD Card or eMMC.
Good luck m8.

I use Dropbox to port files to my Nook, Gtab, and Evo phone. Just open Dropbox and download the file on your device. Dropbox puts it on your SD card in the "Dropbox" directory. Then you just use Root Explorer to move and paste from there to your emmc memory folders.

[MOD] Mount SD card as a folder of internal memory for CM7

This seems to be the best solution if you just want to stock mounting in cm7, I don't know if build.prop changes with every new nightly so you'll probably have to edit it after every flash.

SOLUTION:
1: Create a folder in your internal SD Card (in my case "ExternalSD")
2: Edit vold.fstab:
Code:
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 9 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
3: Edit /system/build.prop
Code:
# Mount the internal SD card, too
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD
your external sd card is now mounted inside internal sd card. If you go to settings/storage, it will come up as unavailable, but the external content is inside your selected folder

After that you can mount external sd as a folder of internal by using this command in terminal emulator:
Code:
mount /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD
The problem is that it can't survive boot and you have to write this command by hand every time. I tried to make it run on boot by adding the command in \system\etc\init.d folder as a text file but it didn't work, although it should.
Any help is welcome

That's why it didn't works!
Thanks for bring it up! I hope someone will help you becouse the way stock roms mount sd card is way better!

pushing it up, since this here is an interesting topic. It does indeed make more sense to mount sdcards like the stock roms mount it...
Hopefully someone can figure this out.
Also i noticed that if you do not mount emmc/_ExternalSD it gets recognised by the pc and otherwise not. This could be coincidence since i'm struggling hard with mounting my sdcards to my mac...

Unfortunately you are right, after this trick pc can only see the external sd card!
Maybe this isn't the right way to do it or somehow it needs to automatically unmount before you connect the phone on pc and then on disconnect remount it again.
Sadly my knowledge is limited, but I think that a real developer can do it in a heartbeat.

I'm not a real developer, but I remember that the modified fstab has to be put inside the kernel ramdisk.
I have found these two perl scripts somewhere on the net. They can be used to extract and repack the boot image. Could be possible that the base address has to be modified to work on the O2x, haven't tried it myself yet.
Zip including the scripts are here:

This is easy peasy lemon squeezy . For me at least since ex-dev.
Instructions:
Get root explorer (cba giving adb commands on my phone)
Mount r/w
Go to etc/vold.fstab
Mount r/w again
Long press the file and click open in text editor
Now at the bottom swap the mounts. Sdcard to /mnt/emmc
And
emmc to /mnt/sdcard
Save and exit.
Delete backup and reboot.
I will post a flashable zip if you want soon.
DONT FORGET TO THANK ME!
EDIT: just read first post properly. It should work on every boot. It is for me on my g2x. Try my easy method

The problem is that I can't find a way to mount external SD in "/sdcard/_externalSD" from vold.fstab where /sdcard is internal memory, just like stock rom.
It should be possible...

Have a look at the stock vold then

I copied stock vold into CM7 and i got neither internal SD nor external SD then.

I've already tried that. I can't understand why people are not interested in this

yeah, there are almost no applications which can use /mnt/emmc. So 1 partition is almost useless at current situation.

Any progress?

Because we have to do It for EVERY new photo/Video

Stock's ROM vold.fstab is mounting /sdcard/_externalSD but this is not working on CyanogenMOD, it could be a CM7 "problem" after all!

No update? CM7 way to mount sd sucks IMHO!

if you want to test it (please do a nand backup before!), than try my kernel and add the -internal flag to it.
Download this
rename to vorkKernel-080611-internal.zip
and flash it.
It is untested, because I don't want this behaivour and I made it because a user requested it. So no gurantee that it will work etc.

Bennee:
From what i see in vold.fstab file in the flashable zip it only swaps paths...
Any luck mounting external sd in "/mnt/sdcard/_externalSD" ?

there is a additional mounting script + some permission fixes. Should be called on every boot up (mount /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD).

But it doesn't... _ExternalSD is empty with your kernel.

[Q] AOKP ICS Milestone 5 cannot "browse" the external sd card

Hi All,
I'm using ICS AOKP milestone 5 and it is work great in my tab! *thank you very much for the developer
But i have a little problem, i have external sd card and it is already into my tab. When i'm search my file(in the external sd card) from file manager i cannot found my file. Then i install quickpic (pic viewer / gallery) and i can see my photo from my external sd card, after that i try to look mount point from terminal emulator and i saw my external sd card mounting to /mnt/emmc. I try to create soft link file i.e mymmc to linking /mnt/emmc but it is failed, perhaps that's vfat filesystem(not support linking).
So, my question how i can browse into my external sd? because i cannot change path from /sdcard/ (this path is default file manager path, i believe /sdcard/ is mount point to /mnt/sdcard) to another path, i hope can change path to /mnt/. I already have directory external_sd in /sdcard/ path, and it is possible i change mount point from /mnt/emmc to external_sd?
Thank you before

Hey, I think you should try editing the /etc/vold.fstab file in your Tab.
It is a file which describes mounting points in your device. You should backup the file and edit the path for external card and reboot

Hi thanks for your reply, i actually try to change vold.fstab but i can't. When i edit with vi it is readonly, although i change to chmod 755 it is failed. Error message say "Read only filesystem", what should i do?

ah, maybe i must using usb debugging and adb shell for pull and push void.fstab, right?. Sorry because i never using android before this

It is work now, just using Root Explorer and mount R/W. After mount R/W i can edit vold.fstab....tahnk you very much about your help

I have a similar problem on my galaxy s in that it recognizes my internal storage as an external sdcard. May you please post what you changed in vold.fstab, or even better post the text file.

Hi,,you can try from root explorer, go to /etc and choose mount R/W. Find vold.fstab but before edit the file you should backup first. Edit with text editor,i hope you have a little knowledge about linux mount point. And you can check the build.prop if this neccessarily, find the line ro.removablemounts
Another way you can using adb shell
adb pull /etc/vold.fstab
...edit in your pc and save
adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
But please backup your original configuration vold.fstab to another place.

how to make sd card as internal storage in xperia e1

hey...i have a xperia e1 and it has 2gb of internal memory..i have installed only few apps and the rest get filled by cashe.So is there any thing i can do to extend internal memory?

I'm interested in this too. Anyone knows?

1. First of all your phone must be ROOTED, If its not then STOP here and get the Root first.
2. Download Root Explorer or any other such explorer which can explore root directory of device.
3. Navigate to system/etc folder mount it as rw(read/write).
4. There you will find vold.fstab file, copy it to your sdcard.
5. Then in your PC open the file in an Text Editor.
6. Find the lines like these,
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard [email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/ext_card auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host
7. Replace sdcard with ext_card and ext_card with sdcard in those two lines.
8. Again navigate to system/etc change the name of the current vold.fstab file to vold.fstab.old (backup).
9. Paste the new edited vold.fstab file there and long press on it you will get a menu from there change the permissions to "rw_r_ _r_ _" this is important.
10. Reboot the system.
11. If you want to restore changes, delete the edited vold.fstab file and rename the vold.fstab.old file as vold.fstab and reboot.

All devices have different vold file and config
E1 only has 1 line in this file
PHP:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host
We could add another line, but the internal SD card is mounted WITHIN the system, so it wouldn't work.
Or maybe it would work, in the past I played with this thing over 3 or 4 months but eventually I got bored of it not working.

I've got a new theory, maybe we need to modify boot.img ?
Bc a long time ago, i was using a wiko rainbow, with cm12.1 and to get sd as internal, i was in need to flash a new kernel, but it's just a theory....
