Just choose the version that suits you. Click on the glowing text next to the version you want

WARNING: MOVE ALL YOUR APPS TO YOUR PHONE MEMORY BEFORE FLASHING OR THEY'LL BE LOST. AND AFTER FLASHING MOVE ALL YOUR SDCARD(NORMAL ONE) FILES TO YOUR EXTERNAL SD, WIPE CACHE/DALVIK AND REBOOT!!

You're using PAC rom right? If yes then please try to flash the forvivo's kernel for jb version 14-11-2012. When i flash it, it changed the way my mounting system. Before flashing it, it just like what you posted. But after flash, it says that my sdcard is not mounted although it is mounted and there is a folder called sdcard0 and sdcard1 but when i looked into the vold.fstab there is nothing to be called sdcard0 and sdcard1.

Sorry for not replying earlier, i had school.

Anyway, i tried this kernel and got stuck at boot.

Note: i supercharged this rom and disabled cpu rendering. It runs smooth so you don't need this kernel.

Strange it is working for me. The stock kernel is drains battery very fast. In hard gaming my phone only can last 2 hours with stock kernel. With costum kernel it can last up to 3 / 4 hours playing sometimes 5 hours. Probably because the costum governors and schedulers. That's why i like using this kernel.

Seems can't find the solution about the swapping memories

Well, my battery isn't bad so i don't want to risk anymore. And just a tip from me, add thd kill all button in the resents from ROM Control. It really helps if you face any lag.

From what i know, when i tried extracting cm10 to find if there are any difference between the vold.fstab(s). I found that in cm10, the internal sd is called sdcard0 and the external _sd is called sdcard1, which is different than the one in the PAC rom. I guess that could be the cause of the problem. Or maybe i'm completely wrong. Who knows

And btw i didn't came up with this i found it a long time ago and kept using it, then when i saw many people want swapping, so i thought i should share it with them.

Yup confirmed that. PAC ROM vold.fstab contains external_SD and sdcard but in original cm10 it contains sdcard0 and sdcard1

I already tried to replace the vold.fstab in PAC ROM with the original cm10. Ended up in the ass wiping boot loop. So I go to cwm clear cache and the reboot again stuck in the android upgrading. What

Maybe I should wait for the new release from camcory :beer:

Now even PAC rom is based on arco's cm10. But thanks to the developer, there is an app on the PAC rom to swap sdcards automatically!!

This method still works on ICS and GB rom anyway.

EDIT: And good news, i found a way to swap the JB ROMs too will update soon!

Hey could I share this guide on the Galaxy S Plus Android Development forum? Cause your awesome method works on cm9 and cm10 running on my device. Maybe this method will also work on other devices that has cm9/cm10
