I am in a very similar situation here. I run the script, had the memories swapped and started setting everything else up. After updating the list of apps in the multi window and rebooting the tablet, it only sees the external SD card. It counts it twice, once as external card and once as internal card. The rel internal card isn't being seen by the device and I also cannot see the original script I had downloaded. same as you. I believe this is because that file was in the internal memory card which cannot be read anymore. The device works ok, but this is not what it's supposed to do. Have you found a solution?

I decided to run the script to swap the internal by the external memory. It work perfectly for the first 3 days. I didn't report back to thank youi for your help because I was still finishing setting up the tablet. This morning, I was finishing the setup of all apps when I needed to reboot my Note, and the the issue started. My Note no longer sees the actual internal memory card. It only sees the external memory card and it reports it twice, once as internal and once as external. Other than this and the unpleasant fact that all my musics and pictures are listed twice, the device is working perfectly. I have already tried to load the script again and run it but it did not solve the issue. Do you have any word of advice?

Thanks for your attention.

Try fixing permissions in cwm recovery then report back if it works.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xd2009:
I first want to thank you for your help. This was the first time I ever rooted a device so I don't really now how to do what you have suggested. Can you give me further explanations? I rooted using the framaroot app, and I'm running the stock samsung note 8 rom. I don't think there is a custom rom out yet.

What exactly is the cwm recovery and how do i reach this?

Thanks again for your assistance.

Alex
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sefrcoko:
Ok in some ways a recovery is kind of like a bios on a computer. When you boot to recovery, you don't load the operating system, you load only the recovery software. Here you can do things like install a new rom or kernel, reset to factory settings, wipe your cache, fix permissions, make backups, etc.

In my case, I flashed the custom recovery (version ex#6) from emwno's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40535777. That recovery is based on CWM, which stands for "clockwork mod". CWM is simply one type of recovery; another popular one is TWRP. Anyways, back to your situation... I find that fixing permissions solves the problem, at least for a few days, when it happens to me. I don't think it's worth flashing a custom recovery just to fix permissions though. Try installing "Fix Permissions" from the Play Store and try that instead, it's free and doesn't require a custom recovery. See if that helps your storage issue at all and report back. Try a reboot too if the app doesn't work right away. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xd2009:
It worked!!! I installed Fix Permissions and run the app. As you expected, it did not show a fix at once. I just needed to reboot the device and manually mount the "external card" which is actually the internal card. I've just tested the fix by rebooting the tablet once more and it's working perfectly.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Alex
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sefrcoko:
Awesome, happy to help! :) I noticed that sometimes the issue comes back, maybe due to some new apps I install or whatever. If this happens then just repeat this process and it should get things sorted out again. I would love to a have a more permanent solution, but at least we have an easy workaround for now that seems to work. Cheers :beer::beer::D
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xd2009:
I agree that more permanent solution would be preferable, but this is a very simple workaround. I'm going to keep the fix permissions app installed just in case. I also agree, it's beer time. :)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
Something to keep an eye out for is Quickboot and other rapid restart tools. They shut the device down without necessarily giving it time to do its housekeeping on the filesystem.

A symptom of issues there is that when the device reboots, the media scanner is running (a notification appears in the taskbar, letting you know that either the card is being prepared or the card is being checked for errors.)

If the allocation looks bad and that scanner is running, my advice is to set the device aside for a few minutes, let it complete the scan, and when it is done power off using the power button and onscreen dialog, then power back on.

This has resolved issues I sometimes get with the memory allocation being out of whack.

Finally I got it to work too .....
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jakou:
The script works. Now the memory is swapped. I have copied (cut and paste) all data which I had on the previous internal memory to the external sd card (which is now seen by the phone as the internal memory). But there's a couple of things I don't get:

1-The apps I had already installed before running the script are still on the phone internal storage. How do I move them to external sd card?

2-New apps (apk) keep installing internally except the "data" and "obb" files which do install on external sd card. Is there a way to install the apps directly to external sd card or do I have to move them later?

PS: The movie post at the beginning of this thread is a bit confusing and I don't understand what is it really for. If it's just for moving folders and files, it can be done with any file manager, so why is the application Directory Bind (or the similar FolderMount) needed?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Android.Ninja:
+1

I'm curious to this as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dr.m0x:
Some apps will always default to put data on internal storage. There is no way to move the data at all. Folder Mount creates what unix people call a symlink and windows people call a shortcut. The app will think it's looking at it's own folder in the internal storage but what it's actually doing is following a symbolic link to a folder on the external storage. To the app there is no difference - it thinks it's still using the internal storage - in reality it's reading that 1.8gb of game data off the external storage.

The script to swap the whole internal and external partitions is flaky at best and there are many glitches that occur when using it. Folder Mount is much more reliable. Directory Bind is no longer supported so shouldn't be considered as an option.

I don't understand if it's better this method or folder mount. Someone could explain me if folder mount is safer than this?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dr.m0x:
Folder Mount is safer. I had some weird issues with every version of this script I've tried, such as files randomly becoming immovable or not able to be deleted. This script isn't compatible with 4.2.2 either due to the new multi user partition layouts so if you plan to update in the future then don't use it.

Sent from the mighty Note II
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jakou:
Thanks for your explanation.

1-So what you're saying is that better not use the app2sd script. Instead just root the Note 8.0 and then use Folder Mount to move the apps?

2-I have already swapped memories by using the script and have not faced any problems so far. Supposing that I do not face future problems/glithes using this method, is Folder Mount of any further use for me?

3-What about the apks, how to move them? (bcz all I have seen so far is people talking about moving the files and folders but not seen anyone talking about how to move the apk itself). Do I need Folder Mount to do that? If so can you pls point me to a step by step guide?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dr.m0x:
If nothing else the fact that the script will break when we get the 4.2.2 update may be something to think about. I don't think it's possible to move the apk files from /data/data off that's what you mean. Since that directory isn't in a storage partition and is considered as a system directory.

Sent from the mighty Note II
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jakou:
Yes I meant the apks in data/data. So it's not possible to move them like we used to do in the past before JB. In other words the only movable part of any app which we install will be the data or obb files of that app?

On the other hand, can you point me to a clear step by step guide on how to use Folder Mount?

Thanks again
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FaeMinx:
So what exactly will happen to people like me who are using the script after the 4.2.2 update? Will all my apps stop working?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dr.m0x:
Honestly it's such a simple to use app that you don't really need a guide. There might be one somewhere I just don't know of any.

The script will stop working.

Sent from the mighty Note II
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FaeMinx:
So essentially everything I've installed will continue to function... just that anything new I install will go to the real internal memory... In which case I can just use folder mount or wait for someone to come up with a new script.

So... There are actually no downsides to using the script, it's worked perfectly for me. Why encourage people to use folder mount just because sometime in the future the script won't work anymore, if there are no downsides to using it now?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sefrcoko:
Actually I think whatever you installed now will not necessarily work if you upgrade to 4.2.2 in the future. Say for example you just installed an app that only installs on the internal sd card. It works now, but with 4.2.2 the script won't work so the internal card on your device will no longer be the same sd card where the app installed to... Error ;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dr.m0x:
After flashing the script, try setting your camera to save to external storage and taking a picture. Observe the fact that you won't be able to view the picture in the gallery because it's corrupt.

That's just one of several issues I've had with these scripts. I never noticed them at first but over time they became more and more apparent.

If the script works fine for you then you're lucky, my experience has been worse so I've suggested an alternative option. It's your phone do what you want with it, I don't see the harm in letting people know there are other ways to approach the problem.

Sent from the mighty Note II
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jakou:
Thank you for pointing out the gallery thing. For those who one to overcome that, just change the permissions of the folder(s) which contain the pictures/videos, and the permissions of the pictures/videos themselves, and that by putting a check next to all the permissions. You will then be able to see all the pictures/videos. As a matter of fact, it seems all files/folders which are created on the sd card need to have all permissions checked so that they can be accessible. So does anyone know how to do that by default for all files/folders at the time they are created?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FaeMinx:
No harm at all. I was simply trying to get some more in depth info. I'm sorry if my response came across as snarky, but I'm no tech wiz. It's stressful enough following step by step instructions, but don't ask me to understand why I'm doing any of those steps unless it's been explained to me in exhaustive idiot speak first.

I tried what you suggested with the camera and can certainly understand now that there are and will be issues.

Will making a TitaniumBackup before the update mitigate those issues? I.e. If I restore my apps after, will everything work... or will they remain broken because I backed them up with the script applied? If this is the case then I am seriously worried. I don't know what to do! o.o
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jakou:
If you see that it would be worrying for you to go back to the way things were before installing the script, and decide not to take that risk, then you can overcome the gallery issue as explained in my post above.

I'm no tech wiz myself but I think any possible issues that may arise from the script will more or less be of the same nature, i.e. they will be related to the perimssions associated with the files and folders that are being created on the sd card (which is in reality the internal memory of the Note 8.0). So I think if you change the permissions of the files and folders that are causing any issues will solve the problem.

I'm sure there's also a way so that any files/folders that are created in the future will get all their permissions confirmed by default at the time they are created. This will spear us the effort to change those permissions ourselves every time a file/folder is created. So may be someone will help us by letting us how can we do that.

when replacing memory pictures taken by me sometimes are removed! maybe somehow it is possible to bypass it or to correct the file?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xd2009:
I used the script and my note 8 works very well for me. I haven't hit any bug so I'm keeping it as is. I upgraded my phone to a GS4 32 GBlast month and the GS4 with Android 4.2.2 allows for installing apps on the SD card. I haven't used because (irony) the phone has enough internal memory.

I haven't installed the latest upgrade on the N8 because I was afraid of loosing root. Whenever Samsung pushes out a significant upgrade, I'll evaluate whether or not it is worth upgrading the tablet. for now, it's the best tablet I've ever had and it's keeping me very happy the longest.:)

consumption devices

I like the fact Tegra Note 7 has a stylus, and on the other hand is capable of some serious load. For long tablets have been just a gaming-content consumption devices. In this price range, which for most people is the sweet spot, there is weak support for doodling, sketching, drafting. In my opinion tablets are ideal devices for such activities, but until Tegra Note came along, the choice was only Samsung Note range (not to mention Surface Pro and more serious devices).

What I like most is that kids will now have an intriguing and quite capable add-on to a really affordable gadget, which might spur creativity, more and more lacking in the coming generations.

Hi guys

I followed these instructions but it's not working for me. I had already rooted my Note 8.0 n5100 and done a titanium backup. I installed the free version of busy box and ran the smart install.I downloaded and checked the MD5 script on my 64GB SD card after I had formatted the card.I installed S manager from play store chose the script and tried ticking both the Is script and the Is executable options separately and hit SU, boot and save. When I restarted my phone/tablet was the same as when I began. Is there something else I'm missing?:confused: I'm running 4.2.2 does that matter? any help or suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Much Love and Light to All!:)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gtn5120getrektnub:
I have tried this on 4.4.2 Gt-N5120, it doesn't work.

It makes all application stop working and the when you check Settings>Storage

Device Memory would still say 16 gb, but the system memory, used space, cached data, miscellaneous files, available space, will say calculating and wont show numbers

SD card will now be 16 gb, regardless of the size of the SD card (mine was 64 gb)

In conclusion, it was successful to make the device think that the internal memory is the SD card, but not vice-versa.

To revert back to normal Device and SD card memory I just took out my SD card rebooted, went to Script Manager, then went to the downloaded .bin file, tap SU and and Boot so that they are deselected, delete the downloaded .bin file, reformat the SD again so the copied files from the Device Memory may be deleted.

*Note: After following the tutorial I thought that the Device Memory staying at 16 gb was just a visual bug and that my Device Memory was actually at 64 gb, but it still won't do, I didn't have access to any apps at all anyway :cyclops:

wht will u do if an app move 2 phone by default then u do a reboot or phone rebooted auto, the u found that an App removed by itself and if u dloaded it again or restored it not installed no space....!!! so tell wht u will do and if this happened with u in this great rom or not ? i use kasper_h rom 2.10.6

[LG Optimus Black] ykumar00:
The uninstalling is a known CM 10.1 bug. To prevent this, simply don't move apps to SD. And suppose it happens that a reboot removes these apps, go to data/app and remove any .odex files OF THAT PARTICULAR APP you find there. The app should install normally again. The odex file will have almost the same name of the apk of the app uninstalled, like com.imangi.templerun........

Another simple workaround is to simply rename the apk of the app you want to install to any name without spaces and keep it in your sd card. When you reboot and the app disappears, don't install it like a normal app, just use root explorer to copy the apk to data/app. The no space error will not show. Try it :)

[LG Optimus Black] ykumar00:
Just move everything to phone memory. In case it gets uninstalled after a reboot and you can't install it again, just copy the apk to data/app to get it installed. It's a bug, until it can be solved, use this workaround.
