Ok here is the pro lem that I'm having. I looked at this script and it is trying to use a file in /dev/block/vold that I don't have using stock ma4 or ma6. I've tried changing it to one of those he two files in there but it doesn't seem to matter. Please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EMSpilot:
This will work with any ROM 11extsd2internalsd

Folks,

This is my 11extsd2internalsd:

#!/system/bin/sh

#extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage #and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The resut is a very big increase of installable apps on gs3

#All credits to Mattiadj of xda forum for the idea and script and to mike1986 for the cmw zip.

#xda thread url at

#Script Modified for U.S. Galaxy S3s by Zedomax at GalaxyS3Root.com to be compatible when sdcard is not inserted.

busybox mount -o remount,rw /

busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard

busybox mount -t exfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard

if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:33; then

busybox mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/extSdCard

fi

Please notice where it is mounting the SD Cards. So if yours quit working with a new rom then navigate with root explorer to /dev/block/vold

There should be 2 files in there. examples: 179:32 and 179:33 you want to record the second file name.

Then open your 11extsd2internalsd file with Notepad+++ and change the 3 locations to the second file name you found in dev/block/vold save changes and replace your old 11extsd2internalsd file.

EMSpilot thank you for responding.

As you have below you have identified the two files that I have in the /vold folder. I had modified my script to both filenames and neither had the intended effect that it had before. Prior to editing it to these the below name it had 179.97 as the file and I don't even have that in that folder. I will continue to play with this. Thank you because this let's me know I may have something else in the ROM that is interfering with this implementation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vMAC:
Ok I still cannot get this to work. When I put these commands into terminal emulator it works fine. I've verified that other scripts are working, just this one is not working at boot. Is there a way to see a boot log? So I could see what's happening at boot time?

Glad you got it sorted. Just do a Google search for it. It is not in the Play Store.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] implodingspace:
I have never seen the need to apps2sd on this but with moment and epic it was pretty easy to use terminal and create symbolic links with appropriate permissions. Storage readings were unaffected because phone thought it was still reporting stats from data/app or app private. Is this not doable on the S3? I know on sdx I made flash able zip to essentially do what I did by hand. Just curious why it is such a challenge with S3 as I haven't had time to get into everything with S3 aside from root, rom, and go :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ArcAngel66:
Okay. I have my 64GB SDCard showing FAT32 format with 59.46GB space available. I tried flashing the zip file with no luck and I downloaded the Script Manager and ran the script and it still did not work.

That file worked :good:

I see that this files says "non-flashable" and I just extract this file to the /system/etc/init.d and rebooted. I still had the script to run and now my storage on the phone shows them being switch -- Storage Memory at 59.46GB Total Space and SD Card at 12.05GB Total Space with 3.41GB Available.

I check TB and it shows System ROM at 1.54GB (181MB Free), Internal+Media at 12.9GB (3.66GB Free), and Ext. SD Card at 12.9GB (3.66GB Free) -- is this supposed to be this way and did the storage actually switch?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Yes just copy, and paste to system/etc/init.d . Then set permissions, and reboot. TB will not show the correct Storage capacities because it reads things differently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ArcAngel66:
For some reason I am still having issues with memory. The Device Memory storage was switch and it shows my SDCard being the main storage and I have 44GB of free space, but when I try and update my apps, it still says insufficient storage available...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ASharpEdge:
For some reason this is not working for me. I am running the S3Rx 1.5 ROM. It is a TW 4.1.2 ROM with Ktoonsez kernel.

I tried to add the modified script that prboy1969 posted just above...However, I was having a hard time figuring out how to run it. It said non-flashable..I tried to follow that was said... "just copy, and paste to system/etc/init.d . Then set permissions, and reboot." but I could not find the spot to paste the file. When I downloaded it smanager asked me if I wanted to run it as a script so I said yes and did the same thing as was done with the original script. Still not working for me.

Also I had a question about this...When it works I assume that my apps will now be saved on the external card that my phone thinks is the internal correct? What about the apps that are already on the phones internal memory before running this script? Do they just stay where they were?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
You have to navigate to the folder with a Root Explorer. The path is : system / etc / init.d . Then paste the file there. You must have the folder init.d for this to work. After you paste the file you set the permissions, and Reboot. But before you do any of these steps you should have copied all the necessary files onto the SD Card. I would suggest reading the OP a few times. That is what I did just to be certain of the process.

Works like a charm!!! Turned out my problem was that the file was inside of a folder and I was not finding the actual file because of that....Talk about stupid!!!

Anyway thank you!

ANOTHER PROBLEM....Every time I change my battery or restart my phone the mod goes away and I have to go in and run it again. I am not certain why it is doing this because I have checked the run on boot option in smanager which should make it run on boot!!! :confused:

I am going to totally reset my phone to the factory ROM so I can do a clean install of a new custom ROM that I want to use. I will be making certain to do go in and wipe cache and set permissions after I do this again. Unless someone else has experienced this issue I hope that I am able to fix it when I redo my phone today....I will report back............:fingers-crossed:

mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard

Placed in data and set with script manager. But unlike other way. Which left me with external for both. This shows them actually swapped. Set ownership to root and permission to all boxes checked. Same with script manager select su and boot.

Thanks for the reply, I was looking at that post, but was hoping to find something 'easier' lol. I was able to move some apps off internal storage using the native application manager, but none of the other apps in the play store, even the best rated ones, would see the external card.

Thank you all for all the great advice and help!

Have used the native functionality in app manager, but none of the shortcut apps, AppMGRIII Pro, etc; will recognize the external card. This does create some issues, because on reboot all of my shortcuts to the home screens disappear; although it did save me over 1gb of internal storage. This is by no means ideal, but I hate to get to less than 3GB of available storage, so I will deal with the drawbacks.

Restarting the phone after flash depends from rom to rom. Anyways the general idea about how much time it takes will be around the same time when you had first started your phone i.e when you had purchased it. The time taken after first boot is same as that of when you have flashed a fresh rom. Hope you get it since my English isnt that great.
