I do it cause I like having 32gb of internal storage vs 16 which ends up only being about 11 gb of storage or less stock out the box honestly they need to start making phones with a minimum of 32 gb internal storage on all phones but the sd swap works for as I have lots if music and movies on my phone and still have plenty of storage to go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
I could see that, though that would require an astounding number of apps to use up the 16gb. Is there any other potential benefit? I already have all my media and ROM files stored on my external card, and my internal card has 6gb free though granted I don't really put many games on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Yup, it was in a jellybeans folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Ok, in the case of your specified use, you listed movies and music, those items don't need to be on internal storage. So what benefit are you getting to having sdswap?

Part of the problem I am seeing with this solution, if for anyone that has more then one SD card for a library that exceeds 64gb. What if you have one SD card just for your music and movies, then another for emulation roms, then another for phone roms, addons, and mods. Just as an example. With SDswap it wouldnt seem this would be possible. Heck it doesn't seem that using 2 cards for any reason would be possible as you can't take it out...your system is running on it.

Maybe I am over thinking it and it has no real use outside of someone who just has a lot of apps or large apps. I just wanted to understand if there was some other benefit I couldn't think of. All my music and movies are already on my external card so that isn't a reason as far as I can tell. The system automatically locates them there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
what would be great

What would be great is a option that allows you to download at the time you start downloading to your choice of external sd or internal storage, that way if you prefer to have larger files go to external sd and/or smaller files you can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Your phone isn't actually running on the SD card when you use the swap. Your apps aren't even installed on the sd card. It only affects apps that download additional data like some games, or other things like browser downloads or Audible, when you download books, although with Audible you can choose which storage to download the books on to. Your /data folder still holds all the apps and the app data, and the /data folder stays on your internal memory, along with the /system folder and all the other system folders.

A good way to look at it is to check your Android folder on your internal SD card. All of that would have to be moved or redownloaded to your external SD card if you did the swap. I have a few games that download many gigs of additional data after the app download, this additional data is what gets changed with the SD swap.

I feel like I rambled on there and it might not make much sense until you actually use it and see what it does. Hope this helps some.

It would be nice if that could be build into Android but I doubt it ever will be since Google is trying to get rid of SD cards. An app developer can build the choice of where to install into their app but very few actually do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
Heck that sounds like the way to go then, when 14 drops I'm gonna try the sd swap, thanks for the info...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
No you did not ramble. More descriptive is better as what I am after is a full understanding of just what the sdswap does and exactly what benefits it may hold. Sounds al ittle more usefull then I thought, though if I use multiple roms is still sounds like more hassle then it may be worth. Since I don't use any games like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
If you never come close to using all of the available space there is no reason to use it. I've never noticed any problems or slow downs with it but people that don't fully understand it definitely have problems. Also, not many ROMs build it into the install so for those ROMs you need to know how to set it up yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Some games like GTA3 are over 1GB in data. 10 games like that and you are done. You'll just keep getting low storage warnings and won't be able to install any new apps. Very frustrating. SD swap is invaluable to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
I installed ext2sd on 13 and have no issues. Makes downloading large apps, backups and camera pics much easier to deal with for me while testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonfly1113:
yeah sd swap is whats keeping me from going to 4.2.2 because i hear it doesnt work in 4.2.2 love my sd swap :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Yep. Almost 23GB in apps.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:

Absolutely I have 64 gb and am down to 20.. lots of HD games and rom nandroids. Mod downloads and everything else!! Very easy to do on any rom. Depends on kernel more than rom. Must have initd support. :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
I tried out the SD swap when I first came onto Beans. I didn't find a whole lot of use for it myself, but the that's the beauty of customizing, we can do what we want. It's the same as changing the DPI or running a certain theme. It's all about personal wants and needs.

All that being said, the one thing I did get out of the swap was losing all my FB notifications. I have even tried deleting both the Android folders on my phone and SD card before a clean install, still nothing :(

Issues downloading from JB link

i tried downloading from my pc twice.... both times stopped downloading at about 30%

then i tried on the Note 2 using 4g... tried about 4 times last night and alll 4 times at 99% i got hit with an error or download failed.

tried again twice this morning from my work pc using wifi tether and download speeds where too slow (about 2 hours and 30 min DL time)

tried on my phone again twice with the download failed at 99%.

found an alternate link though !!

success with that one on my note 2 and now im running JBs 13 !

if anyone needs the link PM me ... i dont know if the dude that upped it has in on his own server or whatever. Ill try email him to see if i can get the clear to post the link...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
I just have a mount bind script I wrote that runs on init.d that binds my external sd obb and game loft folders on the internal card. This way, no trouble like sd swap, and I can still have a ton of games /music /whatever.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] budwizer:
Another option for those not comfortable going all in with SDswap is to use something along the lines of Directory Bind. I've been using this to move the larger folders from internal to external SD with great luck. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pitbulledEvo:
Thanks man. I actually just looked down at my phone and its at 40%?? On one of these builds, can't remember which one, it wasn't showing it was downloading. Apparently it did, it reset my phone and I was on the new build. Unfortunately, it factory reset my phone and wiped my texts, so this time, before clicking update, I did a nandroid backup on my phone! Maybe that will help someone in the future, if you happen to care about keeping texts.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zombieplanalpha:
Look for sms and phone log (maybe call log) in list of installed apps. It will say xlm next to it and only offer to back up data not entire app. Also back up the S-note app it should back up data to be safe you can send your entire /sdcard/snote folder to drop box before flash then grab it again. If anything is missing after restore from titanium backup just replace the folder to /sdcard and choose merge.

If you use sdcard swap just to be safe move your entire titanium backup folder to computer or Dropbox before flash. The sdcard swap corrupted several back ups for me last time

If you want to apply the ROM toolbox mods just explore the app a little, there are selections for boot animation and fonts that are as fast as download, install and reboot. It's straight forward but just ask if you get hung up.

problem now is my pc wont / cant download the full rom ...

when i do the OTA is stops at 99% then gives me an error anyone got another link
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chakra:
Beans kernel is mostly stock.

Peanut Butter Jelly is significantly changed from stock, very fast, and great battery life. NO Over Clock, no under volting very little control and uses boeffla sound

Saber is also modded however you can over clock to 1920. Very very fast and great battery life, also some color tweaks, on and off., does support under volting, Uses voodo sound

The above three kernels work with the same SD card swap hack, so you can flash between each other very easily.

Persius gives the most controls and uses s tweaks to control, you have color hacks, sound hacks, over clock to 1850. Very fast and good battery. But if you use the sd card swap you must reflash with aroma and choose it to change kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
If I dont use sdswap and mostly care about battery life, stability and maybe speed which would you say is best to use? Saber or persius?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chakra:
You will have to try both. If you don't use the sd swap its an easy flash.

I used t swear by Persius and used it for a few months.

Right now I am leaning the other way and it seems saber is doing the best, I just over clock to 1720 and that's it.
