Alcatel One Touch 5035E (Philippines) Memory Swap

Hi,

I want to share how I swap my phone memory to Ext micro sd.

If anyone already have a guide or tutorial about this please ,give the ALL the credits to him.

1st you need to have your phone rooted, and install CWM or TWRP and make a Back up.

also you'll need root explorer installed.

Using your Sapphire2

1.) Open root explorer and go to systems folder find etc folder.

2.) Copy the vold.fstab and keep/paste it anywhere your Ext micro sd.

3.) Once done keeping a back up of your vold.fstab file go back to systems folder open again etc folder and at the upper right corner press to change the permission from Mount R/W to Mount R/O.

4.) find/search from the etc folder the vold.fstab and long press it,this action will prompt a menu and select Open in text editor to Open and edit the vold.fstab.

5.) after Opening the vold.fstab file in text editor just look for this lines below

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc@fat <-----from sdcard0 change/edit it to sdcard1

/devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto <----from sdcard1 change/edit it to sdcard0

6.) save changes, then dont forget to revert the permission at the upper right from Mount R/O to Mount R/W

and reset your Alcatel sapphire 2.

for basis here's the stock / orignal vold.fstab
