What is the aim of the swap, if I may ask?
Would you like to have extsdcard as the default for, say, camera shots, app installs and saved data?
Or are you trying to point extsdcard to the internal sdcard and have sdcard point to the external extsdcard?

1) Not quite. Not yet. However, it may be possible to make the system treat the external SD card as internal memory. See the thread [MOD][ICS/JB/CM10]ExtSd2InternalSd v3.1|Increase your data storage|100% Working| and decide if you want to try that solution.
2) Don't know about CM. Not yet (that I know of) with stock fw.
3) Place a file named ".nomedia" in the directories you want to exclude.

use directorybind & move data to extcard
or there are options to move apps to extcard in titaniumbackup pro version......do it at your own risk
Hi All,
My TWRP nandroids are currently stored on my external SD. I'd like to free up some space on that card and move it to the GS3's internal SD storage.
Is this as simple as just copying / moving the directory from external to internal? Or is there anything else I should be mindful of?
Thanks!

Nope......just that simple.......just make sure that you keep the folder structure the same.

Why not copy them to your PC? I only keep the most current one on my phone.
I always keep a least one Nand Backup on an Online Backup Storage site JIC.

Good call. I usually just keep 1 or 2 on my phone. Online storage site is a good idea too ..
I want to use this application in this mobile to change the external memory for internal and like that to gain space, but not since I it have to form.
Help!!
Could you explain more?
What have you done, root does not give you the ability to swap internal with external, it just handle the permissions to write in the "system" another program have to do that with root permission.
You want to exchange internal (emulated/0) sdcard with external SD card?
That's going to be complicated
Just use foldermount or similar program to symlink your heavy directories from internal (emulated/0) to external, you will need root.

If, I want to change the micro sd into the internal memory. To be able to use the micro sd as storage. Also I have a SIII Mini and thanks to this program I could have changed both memories.
I see that's the name of the program.
For what I see
You need a kernel with init.d support

Hello,
Phone: Samsung galaxy grand i9080L.
Now the question:
Am i able to make a single partition of internal storage? Because the phone came with 8 gb but it have 2 partitions on the internal memory, "System" and "Internal SD" , I just wanna a single one to control better things and as if i move to "SD" Its going to the internal SD and the external (MicroSD) Is not on use -_-

You cannot use the system partition as it's reserved for the OS.Don't mess up with it, doing so may/will brick your phone If you are on Stock or ANY ROM with App2SD support you can move apps to External SD Card. Check whether your ROM supports App2SD or not.

I can't, that's why, app2sd move em' to "sdcard0" which means (in my phone) emulated/0/ (Folder) and not to the external sd card. Already tryied many ways and still same, and well so.
What i wanted to do? as "system" is the internal storage i wanted to merge it with "emulated" which is the internal storage but in a partition to emulate a External SD Card so if its only 1 internal storage the microSD will work as it should work, because on my older phone(Ice mobile apollo touch) I was able to see apps, data, etc, on microsd as only had 1 internal storage.. Now as the sdcard is even in the internal , the external is empty. Its a problem too for cracked applications that need data/obb.

4.2.2 supossed to be stock, downloaded from sammobile to my operator/country as my ROM was literaly "f*ck*d" for a stupid thing i did so.
I just searched GT-i9080L and the latest android(4.2.2) was the one i downloaded, btw, the partition came with the phone, wasn't made by me or a rom and also, the phone didn't come new, i bought it from 2nd hand.
In Grand Internal memory will be shown as sdcard0 and External memory will be shown as sdcard1. Is external storage i.e. Sdcard1 mounting for you?

If i use a explorer i can only see 2. SDCard and internal memory, if i search through internal memory i'll find a folder called emulated, inside, another called 0, inside, all the things that should be on sdcard, which means that this "emulated" emulates a sdcard inside the phone. and yeah, external sd = sdcard1.
internal sd(emulated) = sdcard0
internal memory = internal memory o.o
External is actually /extSdcard on stock ROMs afaik.

I know right, but it isn't used as Sdcard, the sdcard that it uses its a emulated sdcard INSIDE the internal memory.

If you are OK with rooting your device, you can use Link2SD and Foldermount to use your External SD card. you just need to flash Init.d support mod after rooting. then install Link2SD and/or Foldermount

Yeah I'm using FolderMount but I want every app's downloaded files be in EXT_sd.
Everytime I organize my files, it's too bothersome.
the new Link2SDplus does it all

Link2SD needs a specific EXT formatted partition on your external SD in order to work. follow a Link2SD installation guide..
