[How to][Tipo/E] Change SD INTERNAL TO SD EXTERNAL [25/12/13]

TeamMex · Nov 26, 2012

As the xperia TiPO, has 2GB internal to my surprise to install NFS MW, download MW NFS data 1.5gb then, to want to put another full game SD told me not have free space ,and I said as I have SD card of 16gb and 10gb free, Then I noticed that he in the data move from internal SD to external SD asked me data back down then I gave myself the task of finding a solution and I remembered this: (works with any phone that has internal memory and accepts SD CARD)

First:
- Root Required
- Root explorer , es explorer or other file explorer with root powers

-

time

I will leave the file in mediafire but just show them how to do it = D by his own hand = D go to

Code:

system/etc and search
vold.fstab
edith with  notepad

Find the following:

Code:

#MTD-BSP-LC-uSD_and_eMMC_coexistence-00 *[
dev_mount ext_card /mnt/ext_card auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 16 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc0
#MTD-BSP-LC-uSD_and_eMMC_coexistence-00 *]

change ext_card for sdcard and sdcard for ext_card

Code:

#MTD-BSP-LC-uSD_and_eMMC_coexistence-00 *[
dev_mount ext_card /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/ext_card 16 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc0
#MTD-BSP-LC-uSD_and_eMMC_coexistence-00 *]

give 644 permissions and reboot

Screenshot:

For XPERIA E

Original

Code:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 16 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount ext_card /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

Changed

Not change this number

only change ext_card and SDCARD text

that number is the default in vold.fstab

cheers.

I've just did it on my Xperia J and it worked!

Now, I have 2 GB completely free... can we allocate them somehow to phone internal memory?

Assuming you have Root Explorer, go to "Permissions" and tick all the 3 items of the first column and the first one of the second column. Untick all the others.

It is working like a charm on my Xperia J - right now I have 8 GB Internal memory and soon it will be 32 GB (waiting for the card to be delivered).

Right now I have filled the 8 GB microSD card with Apps - when I exchange the 8 GB with 32 GB - do I only have to copy all the 8 GB card data to the 32 GB card or I have to re-install all the apps ?
Also the former Internal memory is now "SD card" and it is 2 GB, but it still have data from the previous installs - is it safe to delete this data and use the "SD card" for music and movies ?

thanks.

work on CM 10?

MASVA · Jan 12, 2013

thx,work on miro too

Kolos28 · Jan 12, 2013

I noticed that the formatted microSD card from our phone (not from a computer) is changed from none to active as FAT32. How do you think what would happen after formatting the SDcard as EXT4. Do you think that the game files stored on the SDcard would be read without ROOT?

Option58 · Jan 12, 2013

Thanks this helped me!

GTA, Asphalt, Splinter Cell....I'm coming!

Yes, but you can not copy his vold.fstab, you must edit it yourself. He showed how.

kwstakis · Jan 13, 2013

CM10 internal to external

for CM10 use this code to change cards.

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 16 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount ext_card /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
