[MOD] Mount Point Swapper

---

This flashable zip will allow to choose how to mount your internal and external storage.
Your two options are:

1. Internal storage as /mnt/sdcard and external storage as /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd
2. Internal storage as /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd and external storage as /mnt/sdcard

I have not been able to successfully mount the internal anywhere else unfortunately but will continue looking into it.

SIDE EFFECTS/ISSUES WITH THIS METHOD

• You can not mount the external sdcard to a computer
• In storage settings, External storage shows under "Phone storage" and the internal storage shows under "Storage card"
• Selecting "Unmount storage card" will unmount the internal storage ("Mount storage card" will remount it though)
• If you remove or boot with out the external sdcard neither storage space will be available for use
• Possibly others...

I'm definitely interested, however I am curious about what the reason/benefit of this mod would be.

The benefit would be all the big games will store the game data on the bigger external card. Along with other settings certain apps store. Also, if you have to exchange your phone, you keep all of your data.

If you are interested please PM me and let me know which recovery you are running. PLEASE DO NOT post anything in this thread till I am done testing and have posted the zip. I should have it up late tonight (sadly I have work today) if everything goes as planned.

I have figured out how to mount the external storage as /sdcard and the internal storage as /sdcard/ext_sd. I have not been able to successfully mount the internal anywhere else unfortunately but will continue looking into it.

• If you remove or boot with out the external sdcard neither storage space will be available for use
• Possibly others...

I'll test it for you, but I would also like a few things changed. Maybe increase app storage? Or could we dedicated some of it to phone ram?
