Hi, this is a tutorial that explain how to change the internal sd with the external.
It is an idea of danitab78, i decided to create this to shy away from talking in other threads.
I think it solves the main problem of our device that has only 2,3 gb as internal sd.
It works on this script:
ICS:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
The only thing to do is create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd
At first, you must have a file managar that works on rooted phones like "Root Explorer" and also "Script Manager - SManager" so you can bring the attached file into your phone, i suggest you to paste it in system/etc. Now rename your .txt in .sh.
Open Script Manager with root permissions and find the .sh, tap on it, and if is asked how to open it, choos script/executable. In the next windows tap on "su", "boot","save" and finally "run".
If it doesnt give you any error it has worked!

I copied kumas post, so thanks to him here and here
ROOT IS REQUIRED and Jelly Bean
I made/copied (lol) this script by combining Artas182x and Mateo1111 scripts
this is how you would save it as script (.sh file)
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
SU
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:61; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
busybox rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
busybox chmod -R 777 /storage/external_SD
fi
Or just download the attachment and unzip to your sdcard and run with smanger or similar app (and set to boot at startup if you want)
Note:
1.When using the camera and video recorder, change settings storage to internal memory (if you don't, you will have to reboot the phone to see your pic/vid you just took)
2.This script will allow you to install large size games (ex. Asphalt 7) but you will still need link2sd (to move apps to your external_SD)
Now if you use the link2sd app, select the "create symbolic link"
lol one more thing, you will need to partition your sdcard to use link2sd.
3.If y'all have busybox installed properly this script should work fine. In addition, this script is all set for init.d (but i have problems using this method). You will get an error for SU, because it's set for init.d. However, the script still works fine through a terminal.
Warning, using Android Tuner app can mess up your L9 and I'm not responsible if you do!
Or if you don't want to use link2sd and partition your Sdcard, you can use Android Tuner However, this app is really advance and you should make a CWM backup (thanks to Artas182x) before messing with this app. It has a lot of options and you could mess the phone up.
I did it for a better english, i hope
