i only success 1/2 only.... my phone already as attached...

but.... when i moved my apps to sd using (app2sd) it still go back to my original "internal SD"

please help....... low memory....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
don't move apps to external sd because it is now your internal sd.. So better leave it installed on device..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] teStud0:
Also experienced the same problem, SD cards are switched but PC cant detect both drives. Although reverting the file works.

I think this fix is buggy in XXKPE
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Hi all,

I noticed the fstab file in XXKPE ROM is a little bit different from the Froyo. Below is my attempt at modifying the file. Can somebody confirm?

UPDATE: Media mode works for me, but regular Mass Storage mode doesn't.

@x86phre3x so how can we use your modded version? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
@trip007in,

Of course this helps, But even after doing this all the applications and few games (except Gameloft) are still installing on phone's internal memory. If I move to SD card its storing on phone's internal SD Card. Thus my memory is having less space now.

1. Is it possible to install all the applications on my external memory?

2. Both Memory storages are not detecting on my PC with USB Mass storage option, how can I solve this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
1)not current possible...u could probaly try move2sd or tb

2)try formatting the card or reinstall the DRIVERS
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
1. move2sd or tb ???

I have moved the application to SD, but it is moving to phone's internal SD card only. Tried copy paste to external memory, but it doesn't work.

2. Tried this, but result is same. It's working on USB debugginig mode, but not in USB mass storage and this take long time to detect the memory cards.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
i dont face this issue:D

whic class micro sd u hav?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lockmunk:
Already tried it..good job bro..thanx :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
I don't think it's because of the memory class rate :rolleyes: Class rate indicate only writing speed.

Before doing this I took a TB and moved all applications from SD to internal phone memory. Then I formatted the SD, later moved all applications from internal storage to SD. But when I check the Formatted SD there are 3 folders had been created (.android_secure, data and LOST.DIR). All the applications are installed on .android_secure on SD. If I delete/format none of the applications will work.

Hey Experts, ANY IDEAS ON THIS:confused:?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
they are the system folders in which ur data(app data ,if installed on sd card)are stored as well as cache.if u delete them ,they will again get created.and i said class size in account of the lag u experience:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
Thanks for your response, but it doesn't create any folders if I delete or format the SD. It does create only if I'm moving Apps from internal memory to SD (using App2SD or default utility comes with i9003).

FYI: After moving, all the applications are installed on .android_secure on internal SD instead of external.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rusza930:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Mrinal_gupta:
help

please help...firstly i used root explorer but i was unable to copy the modified vold file with original one as it showed paste error even after mounting it as r/w...then i downloaded a newer version of root explorer copied the modified file with the original one restarted my phone but then also it is showing external memory 16gb & internal 1.52..plse help i am using gingerbread xxkp9 for galaxy sl..other method(adb one) is also not helping plse help...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Have you tried formatting your SD Card to FAT32? If you have already done this and still not working, try using x86phre3x's modified vold file at the previous page. Maybe it can help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
If you use this mod, make sure that you undo the mod before hard resetting the phone. With this mod your external sd card is read as internal as card; hence will wipe entire data from sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rurukiz:
Finally got this to work!:D

I had problems using the ADB method, so I went ahead and used the root explorer one. I also had problems (maybe because of older version of Root Explorer, or I did not know that I should mark "/" as r/w, hence, "/system/..." remained r/o the whole time.

I used ES File Explorer's "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" features to copy the the modified vold.fstab file.

Just my two cents; I think it's better to rename the original vold file (e.g. vold_orig.fstab) first, then paste the modified one. This way, if anything should go wrong, we can just rename each file to revert it to its original settings.:)

Also, regarding the problem with the memory cards not being detected, I have also experienced this. But changed my "USB Settings" (Settings>Wireless and Network>USB Settings) to "Ask on Connection," and touch/click "Mass storage" everytime I connect the device, and it seemed to work. The only remaining problem is that everytime I unmount/disconnect the phone, both memories become unavailable and have to soft reset every time.

Hope this helps!:)

Also, I am thinking of updating to GB. Will this mod also work on XXKPH? Thanks in advance!:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kingsrook14:

Yes it is working for XXKPH with little editing of the file.

Please go through the OP to apply this mod. Posted with trip007in's permission.

All standard disclaimers apply :p

Please move all apps to phone memory using your backup prog before applying this mod.

After you overwrite the vold.fstab in /system/etc just reboot

Press thanks in case this is helpfull :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
Thanks! It is too late in the day for me to give it a try but once I do I will give a feedback. I just reverted to xxkb3 earlier because nothing i tried worked earlier. haha

I need a stable phone for the week so I will just try again next weekend.

Edit: Confirmed working. Tested with usb mount and back. no delayed startups, able to read and write properly, able to go back normally after unplugging usb mode.

Thanks for the file!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] masmoudi1:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
The simplest solution is flash your Phone with new or the current FW (if available). You can infact flash XXKPH (2.3.4) and dont forget to use latona file.

You can check Krrazzyys post on flashing new FW, or use any of the guides available here...

Swapped - But on Factory Reset - Phone in Safe Mode

Hi,

I had sucessfully swapped my internal to external SD.

The Gmail Pushmail was not working properly therefore tried a factory reset using, *2767*3855#

Now applications like gmail, maps, market are not installed and show SD icon.

And Safe mode is written on the bottom left corner.

What should I do:

Put the original vold.fstab and then do the reset again or is there another way out?

Are you on 2.2.1 Froyo or Ginger bread 2.3.5/2.3.6? This works only with Froyo.

The message that you have posted indicates that you have messed up the vold.fstab, if so then you can not access your SDCARD. You need to flash a new ROM using ODIN. Please refer this post by Krraazzyy for flashing method and latest ROMs.
