How to swap between External Sd card and Internal Storage in Grand? - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Guys any tutorial or trick to make SD card the internal sd storage ?
I cannot manage all the games and apps in only 4 GB internal sd space given .
Moreover There are some problem in having internal sd (4 GB) . Like all the app backsup in that 4 GB space only which is not possible . Like whatsapp and moreover cwm also makes backup in that 4 gb space n which is not good in case someday I brick my phone etc etc.
So I want to swap between internal sd and external sd card . If anyone knows how to do it then please comment.

Alright bro...first..
Cwm makes folder in extSD card/clockworkmod/backup/*here*..
Second...as I see...ur main problem might be HD and big games with data..(If that is the scene, ) try gl2sd app..that will move ur game data to sdcard..and mount it whenever u want to play game..(simple as hell )..
NOTE: you have to keep a data first in phone memory, then it will move to SD card!(don't pit in sdcard directly)..
Hope I helped

the old method is change the mount point in /etc/vold.fstab but it doesn't work with this Emulated storage feature

I agreee ! ,this is only solution for now i think.
damm...multi user feature:crying:

hii
u can use link2sd for link all ur apps to 2nd partition in external card ..and u can use folder mount app for mount media ,data folder like
whats app and others apps to ur external card ..these two app can save much wanted space in our grand ..and yes gl2sd for games data
also a useful app..
:good:

u can try partitioning the MMC go DL the CWM for s-gt5360 then boot into it
you'll see an option there, 'advance options'
go there and you'll see the partition SD card.
next thing to do is have your apps transferred to your ext.
use darktremors/a2sd/link2sd. any or titanium backup.
im using romtoolbox for the apps2sd.
hope it helped
der u go.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459
i use titanium backup pro (root and super user permission) newest version, in the batch menu there's a function to move user's data to sd card. And u can still use the apps like a charm without the risk of having any error like losing widget at all.

Move apps to SD
You can easily move your games to SD with "ES File Explorer"
but you need enable root acess to this application, so you can move all kind of data stored on your phone.
For non rooted phones, there are some applications that cant be moved to SD card
So the first step is obtain the root acess to your phone

No. Swapping is the easiest thing to do.

Provided u got class 6 or above microSD.
If not, swapping will cause slow boot up of apps.
I think It will better if you can afford class 10 to swap between external and internal storage..

Need help putting game SD data on Ext SD

I'm really not liking the fact that game data doesn't store to default in Ext SD. I have 3 games with SD data of around 3.3gb which take up precious storage while my Ext SD sits free.
When I move these data folders to the Ext SD,the games ask to download data. Currently I have uninstalled those games (e.g NFS most wanted 1.8gb) because I have my nandroid back up and titanium back occupying around 2gb.
I have tried using link2sd/partitioning my Ext SD with Ext2 format, but that only installs the actual apk to the Ext2 partition while the game data still sits on the Internal SD.
I also tried directory bind but that often causes android to freeze untill I pull out my battery.
So please if any body knows how to place SD data on Ext SD and games are able to trace the data there, please HELP!

Was gonna suggest directory bind but you already tried it.
It works fine for me, no crashes when re-linking NOVA3 to Ext-SD.
I'm on stock ATT ICS 4.0.4 rooted.
just swap the int,sd with ext.sd card.
if you are on GB or ICS then you can do that esaly. there is a thread about it.
for JB (4.1 or 4.2) still isnt working.
Can I get the threads link?

Just flash light Rom version 9. The aroma installer asks you if you want to swap the internal with the external. I did it and it works great!
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
That ROM had a few bugs that I hated. For instance it repeats notifications. So I restored my rooted stock ICS by Dman after about 5hrs.

I was able to switch both SD's via the link given by lorddavid. So now my Ext SD is seen as internal storage while internal is seen as Ext storage. Hurray

App2SD Not Supported?

I tried link2sd but I get this notice
App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.

if u have my or balli's rom then u have init.d support ..
so flash this through cwm http://d-h.st/AGR. it will convert internal in to external and external in to internal sd.
if u didnt have init.d support then u have to enable it. and flash above file
I am on stock rooted fw. How to enable init.d support?
Edit.: ok found the zip to enable. Thanks.

if u have flashed the above file...then ur external storage is swapped to the internal sd. so now install all app or games u want. they will get installed in external sd.
there is no need for link2sd ...

It will not automatically do that. You will have to open ext2int application and configure it.
Use Gl to sd application.. It has a great developer support... This external to internal application last updated on Nov 2012.so there are so many bugs like duplications of files... Obviously applications install in phone memory only data files will move to the sd card. If you want to move only applications. Use link 2 sd... But data files cannot be moved using link 2 sd application..

I tried GL to sd before and since it is for Gameloft games(hence the GL name) and I don't have gameloft games installed it showed a blank screen on startup in addition to the "mount" and "unmount" buttons.

Reinstall the application again and try... Email to the developer he will surely help u... He helped me a lot. It's not only for gameloft.. All games and large data applications supported... I have installed 75 applications among these 21 are hd games... I purchased the pro version of Gl to sd applications so it will automatically mount at boot. Check screenshots..

:good: Your answer has the price of gold!!!! That's exactly what I wanted - to move the application data.
The cyanogenmod I installed yesterday has driven me crazy! In the LG's original rom I used automatic script with `mount --bind` command, it worked perfectly, in cyanogenmod it has very a strange behavior. Although I could see in `df` it was bound and could see the files from external storage at that location, but the applications still wrote to the internal storage somehow transparently in the background. Don't ask me why and how it was possible, but it made me angry. Now I'm keeping the cyanogenmod in my phone.

Yes I have tried to reinstall today and still shows blank list of applications. meantime using ext2 int, my sd card which is now the internal storage has been reduced from 14gb to 11 gb so far --- evidence that my installed applications have installed on the sd card and not on internal memory of the phone(which is now the external).
I am happy with it so far.
As for gaming I use my galaxy note for that. Also the note has "move to sd" natively.

Game doesn't start means.. Check the game properly mounted... There is an option about mounted games in gl to sd apps... Check all your game data in obb or data folder..

So for running a game that has been moved through gl to SD, I have to mount it first through gl to SD and only after that game will run otherwise it will crash. Am I understanding you correctly?

Hi installed folder mount but i don't know how to add the games in this app. i m confused how to add the path in settings when it's just showing in source Path:/storage/emulated/0 ....it was showing same in path in gl to sd that's why thought to use this app. but here also same confusion. i saved my asphalt 8 on the external memory card i.e. on my memory card in storage/extSDcard/games folder & install asphalt 8.apk but i'm unable to mount the memory card path as it's not showing but just Path:/storage/emulated/0...kindly help
as i have used gl 2 sd recently and find it easiest to use..
just 1 thing..move data to phone memory first and install apk...after installation....... then u move data in ext sdcard ..from gl2sd app....not by urself...(for easiest way)..and then nount play!..
hope i helped!..
Gl 2 sd has....more......user friendly ui.....jst made 2 move game data 2 sd......simple easy...perfect...

Needed?
The latest versions of 4.2.2 (on the 9082L) have native "Move to SD" and I have transfered my games, and they run fine.
I like foldermount.
Add luckypatcher and buy pro, then you have unlimited mounts available. And also this program is better cuz it is MUCH simpler to use.
