I have seen where installing applications to an external card causes widgets not to be available but I've never seen a problem using this flip. Probably due to the fact that it makes the phone think its internal memory.

If I install this after I have installed all my apps, do I need to move anything? Or does it link everything automatically?
This flashable zip has helped me greatly; however, you may want to reconsider two minor things.
1) Your mirrors are a little dated-- MultiUpload no longer exists, for example. I do like Mediafire, though.
2) The names of these two files make it unclear what exactly is happening; because internal becomes external, and external becomes internal, "SD to Int" and "Int to SD" sound like they're the same zip. I downloaded both, and have sometimes had to flash, reboot, flash, and reboot because I've applied the wrong one

It could be a multiple number of things, but keep in mind that this thread hasn't been updated in a year now. This mod will not work on any AOSP based ROMs such as CM, AOKP, or PA. Not sure about eclipse, but this is a dead thread and should be left as is.
This is what I'm wondering too. Does anyone have an answer for this? I have eclipse 2.3 installed on my phone and the sd is flipped.

I don't believe it moves anything for you, it just renames the storage locations and allows the programs to install on the SD card by default. Check the OP.

22Droid X2 SD Storage Flip-Flop
So what is a SD storage flip-flop? Basically what this mod does is switch SD storage to internal storage, or internal storage to SD storage. Why is this beneficial? Well, on the Droid X2 in its stock form, your actual SD card (the one you put in the phone by hand) is not mounted in the "correct" file system space by default. This screws a lot of things up e.g. trying to install a Gameloft game which ends up installing on the internal MMC, or general system files getting stored on the internal MMC. This mod fixes that issue and puts everything on your actual SD card like usual. Technically, the internal MMC is faster to access than your SD card, so it makes sense why Motorola made it this way, but from a user standpoint it doesn't make much sense, at least, to me.
This can be flashed in BSR recovery. To check if it works, look at your SD storage menu in your Settings. If they flip after flashing the ZIP, it works.

Yeah it really bothered me too. I was trying to install games to test out the Tegra chip (since it is so awesome), and it kept downloading everything to the phone. Kind of silly, there is only 4gb free there, and one game could be 1gb. That doesn't make much sense. So here we are1Updated SD 2 Internal download links. If you are using this mod then please re-download for the app2sd fix. There was a bug where if you moved an app to sd card it would break on reboot. Now apps move to internal MMC but data is read from the SD card. Best of both worlds1It does not with for the Bionic, I tried it.

All you need to do it edit the Vold.fstab
switch sdcard with sdcard-ext
and sdcard-ext to sdcard1
Just wanted to let you know that I did exactly what you said. I reversed the sdcard and sdcard-ext and now it views my removable sd card as internal,so again, thanks!!
