Hi, apologies if this has already been asked but I can't find a thread actually covering this question.
Does anyone know if/how I can completely "remove" the internal emulated SD card on the S4? I've got a much larger external SD card and would prefer it if android saw this as the only SD card so that all apps that want to write to the SD card will automatically write to the external one (giving me the peace of mind that all "sd card" data is in the same place and that all of this data will persist even if I need to format the /data partition).
I'm rooted and running CM11, in case that's relevant.
I gather that on this phone the internal SD is just a folder under /data (rather than a separate partition). So I'm wondering if it's sufficient to simply delete the /data/media/ directory? (and move it's contents over to the external SD). Or if that's not enough, will a full format of /data do the job? Or will android still somehow "know" that this phone is supposed to have an internal SD and hence re-create it as soon as it boots again?
