[Q] mount external_sd & sdcard as sdcard possible ?

Hi,
I've spent hours searching for a way to mount both my external sd card and the internal sd as one sdcard/ directory.
My aim is to be able to install more apps & more data, as the data often installs only in the internal sd space.
I think i've looked thoroughly throughout the forum but didn't find an answer.
I'm currently running a rooted stock rom and wonder if upgrading to a EXT4 ROM or other mean could solve this.
Does anyone know if it is possible and if so, how ?
Thanks

16gb of apps to sd isn't enough? You must be installing a buttload of programs. From what I know you'll never be able to merge the external and internal into 1 unless there's some android RAID utility which there isn't.

There would be the way of aufs. It worked on the Acer Aspire One, if anybody managed to port it to Android it would be cool.

Yes, I was thinking of aufs too.
There is also a possibility in Linux : Erase the file system of both the sd card and mount them as a VLM volume set.
But in this case, the removable SD becomes unremovable...
Thanks for the answers.

[Q] Is there a way to mount only the external SD Card?

Hi All!,
Its possible only to mount one of the sd cards? My idea is only to mount the external card. I know there is an application that does this, but i was wondering if some of the custom rooms manage to do it without having to instal another application.
Thanks in advance

Why?

Perhaps i didn't explain clearly the problem...When i connect to the PC ,I liked to have only the external card available, because the internal is used to have some apps installed. by default it mounts both when i connect using usb cable.

There is. Disconnect it from the phone and stick it in a microSD card reader

Just stating that there probably is no such possibility

In general settings, in Storage menu, you can unmount internal sdcard, just do it before plugging your phone.

Some apps will not work properly, i.e Camera.
In Galaxy S2, the micro sd card placed near battery, so can't remove it without turn off phone.
Any ideas?

Thanks you all for the comments, but what i wanted was something like this apps:
Multi Mount SD-Card (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tLnJhZm9pZC5tdWx0aW1vdW50c2RjYXJkLndpZGdldCJd)
This allows you to choose which sd card to mount when usb is connected.
I already tried and works very well... i just wondering if some custom rom/kernel already has it.
Thanks again for all your help.
Regards

[SGS/I9070] - It´s possible put data apk on external micro sd?

The SGS/I9070 have 4gb for apk data... so, i wanna put the data on micro sd, it´s possible? thank´s...

Hey,
So first off, I want to note that the SGS and the I9070 are two different phones...
SGS (Galaxy S) = I9000
Galaxy S Advance = I9070.
Just to clear up confusion.
And yes, I think its possible to put apk data on your microSD. Just use a file explorer to move them.

What do you mean with 4gb for apk data?
And what do you mean with move data to micro SD?
Can help you if i know what you mean

Cannot move apps to the SD card

Running out of space on my Z1 but I have a 32gb sd card installed.
How do I copy my apps over?
There's no app on the playstore that will allow me, I tried a few but had errors.
Anybody having the same problem?

Apps shouldn't take up that much space. I would set my camera to save to the external sd and move all your media to the external sd. If its games your downloading now that's a common issue. If you want to root and play around you can try GL2SD and it might work but I havent done that since my S2.

For root take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
For FolderMount go to the market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
There is a vide-tut how to mount folders after root
EDIT: I've quoted wrong post
