Description
Ever wanted to swap your internal sdcard and your external sdcard? Yes, you can ! ... fix this annoying thing which make your phone using only few GB when you a full 64GB or even a 32GB one...
it works with every devices with external sdcards ;)
For example, you own a Galaxy S3 with 16 internal GB and a 32GB external sdcard > as a result, you only have around 13GB to install apps (and their data even if they install these files on the "external sdcard" since it is /sdcard which is ... the internal one ;) >> thanks samsung for not having change the getExternalFolder() in the source *kof* )
so the application is VERY simple : on the main screen you can choose to change the sdcards until the phone reboot or at every boots
Now, the "difficult" part (lol), in which not that I am not responsible for problem but I am here to help to resolve everything (!)
In the settings, often update the rom configuration lists with the item at the top/right button
------------ Swap the devices ----- first of all, copy the internal sdcard Android folder to the external one to "update" the external sdcard and prevent bug in your apps
If your rom/device is in the list > click on it to check it and go to the main screen, then update the mode you want if your device does not appear, you will have to customize the script > select the original internal sdcard folder > select the original external sdcard folder > select the device which represent the sdcard at the system level (tricky!) > edit the mount options
to manage the two last parts : 1/ click on the last option to see the whole device list 2/ seek for a vfat device (if your sdcard is a fat32 one), ext4 if it was formatted to ext4, etc... 3.a/ if you found it, click on it and go to the main screen and go back to setting screen to check if the device in custom area changed 3.b/ if you did not find it, you can send me the list to help find the device, and then I will be able to update the device list, fix bugs, etc... 4/ edit the option values with the default options you want for the mount. Often erase before "allow_time=" but in most case, simply put this value in the field>> umask=0000 note that in case of wrong edit, you can reset this field with the use of the first manipulation (1) 5/ go back to the main screen and update the script if you want (boot only) i recommend to perform a reboot before any swap (in order to be sure to swap the two original folders
--------- Notes ---- as said above, I am not responsible for any problem but I am here without any problem to help you if you have an issue!!!
If you have duplicated folder in the gallery, etc..., delete every .thumbnails folder in your sdcards

Comments on Root External 2 Internal SD for Android
★★★★★
Hard to use, great when you get it Great tool, have to use in conjunction with link2sd with my phone ATM but works as advertised :) @user with f6, mines metro so might be different but internal card is mnt/sdcard and external is whatever you set up when you partitioned it, for example using the link2sd instructions for the f6 (aparted great for the partition) I had storage/external_SD. For the next item just remove last 2 numbers, change those to 33. The space under apps doesn't change (still a lil bugs to work thru) check settings>storage

Just Awesome... =) My 1.5GB internal is exchanged by my Micro SD which has 24GB free! What a difference! Shame on you Android for not having this standard in your operating system! What is security's worth if the smartphone is not working because of storage problems! At this moment of writing this review my internal memory is used by vital apps which must always work. Those stay at the internal storage. Internal storage has still 1.16GB/1.5GB free! This app is amust have. (Combine with Link2SD and you have an unbeatable combo!) Thank you Codlab!

Does not work - Makes SIM card unreadable Did not work on my Huawei U8651T as a test phone. The only thing it did was make the phone unable to see the SIM card at all making the phone useless. As far as the SD Card swap, it didn't do it. Apps still showed the same low internal space. Deleting the app allowed the phone to see the SIM card again. I am somewhat intrigued by the fact it messed with the SIM card and not the SD Card. Too bad it doesn't work, I would have had no problem donating $$$ if it had worked. It's a great idea for an app.
