4.2.1 or CM 10.1 support yet??

Sent from my DeathSCYTHE..

I'll see you in hell.. where the devil knows my name...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wingtytn:
hey guys and girls please please o please be carefully with this mod and use at ur own risk... reason is u can burn ur sd card out where u will and can loose it. the sd-card can and will over heat and burn out...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skubacb:
All this script does is exchange the codes to redirect the OS to use the external SD vice the external.

Seriously, seriously, doubt that this could somehow overheat an SD card.

Some other interaction but not this script.

BTW NOT working for 4.1.2 for me. When I burned my new Synergy ROM which is now based on 4.1.2, then an immediate burn of this script, all I get is a constant reboot. The reason for this is both the internal and external SD cards get locked.

So the script was working right up to 4.1.1. Someone here has written about how to fix this but I have not read about it yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
I've been using the mod for awhile but now it won't work at all. It's in my init folder, I have init.d support and I even used smanager to give it root and boot. Still nothing. I even tried codlabs app and it turned both internal and external into internal. (so I had 2 internal) I would try the custom set up but I'd which vold path to choose. I have 179:33 and 179:32. I'm on the new MD4 update btw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.

All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).

E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.

Before you can use this, you will need:

1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)

2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!

3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.

4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)

To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:

Download and Details:

http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/

If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:

[YOUTUBE]p1zSMB9-WNo[/YOUTUBE]

I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!

How to disable this:

If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.

OR

if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mvaughn12:
Has anyone tested this yet or am I the first? I installed this twice on a stock rooted rom and wiped my cache and davik but on each reboot, I had noticed it completly wipes my phone clean. Is it suppose to wipe your phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
^^ This lol.

And what's the advantage to this besides more space if you have a bigger card? Are SD cards any faster than the memory Samsung put in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mvaughn12:
LOL Good Thing I have my Backups lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
No kidding. Did it work though?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mvaughn12:
Lol didnt work for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
You on TW or AOSP?

I don't have a good enough SD card to really warrant using this, but if it works it may influence my decision in investing the money on a new one.

EDIT: I'm going to try it out anyway. Give me 2 minutes to back up my files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mvaughn12:
IM on W
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Reserved :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
Worked like a charm for me. Even switched the apps I had installed to the SD Card (now device memory) which I wasn't expecting.

I'm on Blazer rom. All I did was install the zip and wipe dalvik cache (I'm not sure why I did that, only because mvaughn mentioned it and I know it won't wipe anything/was prepared for a wipe).

mvaughn, are you running a rooted tw rom with init.d support? And did you possibly wipe your data by accident?

Anyway, time to buy a 64gb card lol.

EDIT: Can also confirm deleting the file as stated and restarting your phone will switch the two back as well as move your apps back to the right spot. This is very neat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mvaughn12:
Nopper didn't wipe anything, I'm running the stock rooted rom, let me check but I was sure the Stock had init.d support here is the link to the odex stock I installed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1743923#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
I'm fairly certain that is just the stock rom with root in it. Init.d is probably NOT supported. Try and grab a rom with Init.d support. Blazer Rom and FreeGS3 can be very close to stock and add a lot of cool features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mvaughn12:
There was a script to add Init.d and I cant find the link lol time to search I thought I added this script to the stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
Maybe not....I tested this out so if you have all the requirements it should work fine. Maybe the wipe was a result of not having the Init.d.

EDIT:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] popboywei:
All my files(pics, song,dead trigger file, navigon file...) are gone!!! Max, what's going on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
You might have to copy all of your contents from internal to sdcard to get it back. OR use Titanium Backup app to backup or restore.

You can always take the sdcard out and reboot, that will boot you normally then plug in sdcard once booted. (That's normal boot without the sd hack)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
Stock ROMs do not have init.d support. You need a kernel/rom with the support, let me see if I can post a kernel with support shortly soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
I didn't think so....

Thanks for the mod. I'm surprised more people don't seem to be jumping on this so far. I'm sure they will though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I did :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stu5797:
I am enjoying this mod! Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] staticpulse18:
Would this work on paranoid rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmmajor:
Does your rom support it?

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S III
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stu5797:
Great job. Only thing i hope can be fixed is that if you go to the task manager and go to the storage tab it does not display the correct storage amount. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] i-l-l:
been waiting for this since day 1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Is anyone using this mod on Clark44 .0.1.0 Rom?

I've tried it and it's doesn't seem to work. Any advice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jrdejavux:
dont think it works on his rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ntajlis:
This mod gives me another reason to like my s3 more. Can't wait to upgrade my sdcard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scirio:
How does this mod/tweak effect changing roms? Will the new rom pick up the mod on first boot?

Will doing a factory reset or wipe-all a few months down the line wipe the entire contents of my card like the photos and other downloaded files?

What does this mod actually doing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scirio:
continued...

For example, I'm running Blazer 1.7 now. Let's say I do this mod, what happens when i update to the next release of Blazer? Will the mod persist across the flash or will I have to reflash this mod before rebooting in to the updated ROM??

I just really want to make sure my data remains intact and that it doesnt end up in some limbo between the extSd and the intSD where i cant reach it. Know what I mean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lillee3377:
Cool. Been regretting not getting 32gb phone for my girl from the beginning. Had been using Link2SD app on her phone and it had been working perfect, but will give this a shot. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
So, I'm confused. Does this swap the internal for external, so you still have access to both, or does it replace the internal SD card with the external SD card? Thanks for clarifying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
Swap
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
The only way that I have found to see the data that was on my INTSD prior to Mr getting a 32gb sd. I must remove the EXTSD and then plug phone into the pc. I even tried to copy file from my in internal to my extSD and the file are not seen. Its really a pain in the arse.. one would thing that through root explorer the phone would see both sd cards and be able to view what ever in the app... but it don't work. But the mod/script does do what it was built to... but how do I get rid of it with out a format?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
Yeah, I'm more and more convinced that this hack is BS. Yes, it does make your external SD card look like the internal SD card, but your internal card vanishes from view. Max doesn't answer questions on how to make it work, or on what ROM's it does work, so I've become very skeptical as to whether his claim is just hot air. It's not a very useful hack if I add a 32GB external card but give up my 16gb internal. So until Max thinks it's worth his precious time to actually help people get it working (assuming he's not just BS'ing), I have to say that folks should just steer clear.

Oh, to remove it, use Root Explorer, mount the directory R/W, and then delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd. You might have to pull the SD card first, reboot, and then do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
So what I don't understand is why is this even necessary? Why would Samsung make this phone with and extSD that really can't be used.?? Unless you flash this bs unsupported hack.. I take pics and some times I can find them and others I can't...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lillee3377:
Just use link2sd in the market. You just have to make a sdext partition on card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DKJae:
worked like a champ

it works just fine.. :p

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

i think it's more like a script to fool the system to recognise extSD as internalSD and vise versa.. it sure did worked fine for me.. i didn't give up my internal space at all.. using both:laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
That is so not true in my case.. whatever I had on my internal SD prior to getting external was not seen. Meaning I could only veiw one via root explorer. And when I put my SD card in before I flash this my phone saw it vIA titanium but no files went there. Not it sit that when I take pics some of them to to intern and some to extsd.. it was not until I deleted that 10sdboost file from my init.d folder that the switch worked. But one just bodied the other in my case cause now I can see all pics but in recovery not all can be seen if that make any sense
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Boostking:
I had the same issue. It did swap the External SD to the internal so I was able to see 29gb (32gb micro sd) as the "internal" storage, however the swap did not allow me to browse the actual internal 16 gb's anymore. When you would view it from Windows 7, the "Card" and "Phone" storage both showed up at 29gb, but they were a "mirror" of the contents, no way to browse through the other drive. Uninstalled for now. It definitely works half way, but did not work the way it was described, at least for me. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Any updates to this then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
I've solved it, but it's a complicated fix, so will post when I have more time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ntajlis:
Thanks for the head up! So gonna get that 64gb sdcard now. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Boostking:
Thank you. Has anyone tried the method with Script Manager? I'm a little gun shy just because it was such a pita to get my card back to normal after trying the first hack. Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
I did it and it worked fine. But I'd simply recommend you make full backups first: nandroid for the phone, and then copy the internal SD and external SD contents to your PC. That way if you don't like it, you simply restore everything to the way it was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gotnoypi:
does the above procedure work for CM 10 m1 ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
I don't know. Back up like I said, try it, and let everyone else know. I have only run Beans, and CleanRom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gotnoypi:
What's a preferred program to use to check if this works?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
Just open up any file explorer like root explorer or es explorer and see if you can see both cards.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
hey android thank you for beeing able to figure this one out, was driving me nuts trying to see how to do this myself nice. did what u wrote worked like a charm, now im sporting my new microSDXC 64GB Ultra Mobile class 10 SGS3 very awesome, only problem i do have is that some apps install themselves after a while into the real internal memory but i think thats a fail on myside due to not increasing the storage capasity for the partition on my fat32, should of increased it to 500mb enought to install the apps and have datat transfer but ohh well.....good overall.

other issue is that since its a small fix its still now perfect, dont know if uve noticed that some installs u cant see in ure memory card or both, or atleast im having that issue, and sometimes the phone mirrors the real ext/int sd card and mirrors it to the real int/ext, so now i got a copy of both real ext/which is now int. have to reboot it countless times and take the memory card or delete the files and put em back in for it to work sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gotnoypi:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] romaneric93:
On cyanogenmod 10.

I tried this method and it did change my ext 60 GB card to the internal but it didn't swap it. So my 60 GB shows up for both. My phone memory is gone and the only way to see it is to take out my memory card. Is there any way to fix this. I tried this on a stock ROM and it worked perfectly. Has anybody gotten this to work properly on cm10??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EMSpilot:
Yes it does work fine on all of Clark's Rom's. Simply navigate to system/etc/init.d and erase the SD-boost file there first. Then install, works like a charm!!!

Didn't work on "[ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2)Task & Ktoonsez (10/13) (AT&T/Rogers)" uninstalled for now. I'm using a 64Gb Sandisk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KING SKILLZ:
Man this is a big time hack, was really starting to regret not getting the 64gb, & this breathed new life into my phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sinisin:
So Im on stock JB and kernel. No init.d support. Using the Script Manager workaround. Everything is fine. I have a question though. Since it takes a minute until SManager can run the script, my original intsd needs to remain as it was before the mod was applied right? Since the phone actually boots from it and not my extsd. Or once the mod and script have been executed once is it stuck to swapped status on every reboot? I ask because I copied my intsd to my extsd and now want to wipe the old intsd(16GB) but Im afraid if I do the phone wont have the proper information to boot since the script doesnt run right away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sinisin:
I use Spotify. This hack failed to put the music I downloaded on my 64GB sdcard swapped to intsd. It's pointless. I am now using link2sd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
If I understand right, some users are having this hack move their installed apps from the internal memory to the external? Mine is not doing that.

See pics. It appears to have tricked my S3 just fine. When I installed a free app from the Play Store, it looks like it went to the real internal. In the Application Manager it shows the real internal memory being used.

Please let me know if I am way off on how this works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Moe:
tried this on my s3 and tried to download an app from google play kept getting insufficient memory error. pulled sd card out, rebooted and put card back in storage shows script reversed back to normal but still getting insufficient memory error but internal show 1.6gb free, don't understand
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] viperv303:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcninja:
so this is confirmed working on the spring galaxy s3 16gb version? I want to drop in a 64gb card to install all my apps to.

Also - where can i order a cheap 64gb card online?

thanks!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcninja:
I got a brand new 32gb card. fat32. installed a fresh clean sonic fre gs3 rom with init.d support and rebooted as the installer makes me do. then i went straight to recovery and installed the zip. phone boots. no swapped storage.

please help? i really want this to work.

EDIT: i formated the sd card in easeUS partition to NO FORMAT and then put it in my phone and let the phone format it. then i installed the blazer rom and before i restarted I also installed the app2extsd2 zip and it works now. this is so awesome. now I won't have to buy another phone due to the mistake of getting the 16gb instead of the 32gb. Hopefully this one can now last me 2 years so I don't have to buy something off upgrade :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonOL2:
Thanks for this. Trying it out on my fresh new (as of yesterday) GS3 with a 32GB SD card w/ FAT32... worked well so far, storage was swapped and SD is viewed as internal storage. I'll report back if I find anything going crazy...

Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joelstitch:
I got everything working fine except that I cannot load any new pictures to any app. So I can't send pictures to Instagram, Facebook, etc. I formatted my SD card t FAT32 so it should be working.

UPDATE: I figured out that I just had to move all the new pictures to the actual sd card and set the camera to move all the new pictures to the actual SD card.

eBay, but I would not go cheap unless you don't care about loosing your information in your SD card. Cheap cards dont last long and dont work well.

I looked for a different approach to this issue and came up with (found) directory bind. Search in google will bring it up, im pretty sure i came across it on xda. It lets you move a directory to the sd (in my case, the obb directory for my larger games).
