swap your internal memory with your external sd

Hay friend i guess you need to swap your internal memory with your external sd card so your internal memory (with small space) become external "sd card1" or "ext.sd card" what ever the name is , and your external sd (with the bigger memory) becomes internal memory "sd card0", i think there is a lot of threads talks about that ,the way to do that changes from device to device a little bit , search for the way to do it on your device, anyway for my device i needed to have root access and then edit the file , this file was on my device at this path /etc/vold.fstab so i did this (it might work for you because this is the general idea of doing it) :

1- i made a copy of the file vold.fstab in case it did't work i return it like it was using ES File Explorer (I have root access as i sayed)

2- i edited the file do that using any text editor,now the original vold.fstab file was like this before changing any thing :

## Vold 2.0 Generic fstab

#######################

## Regular device mount

##

## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>

## label - Label for the volume

## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted

## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.

## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices

######################

## Example of a standard sdcard mount for the emulator / Dream

# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host

## Example of a dual card setup

# dev_mount left_sdcard /mnt/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host/mmc0

# dev_mount right_sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.2/mmc_host/mmc2

## Example of specifying a specific partition for mounts

# dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 2 /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

And then i swaped the name of my internal card with the name of my external card so it's mounted in its place (become the first sd card) it's become like this after editing it

so as you see the replacing was at the line 17 and 18 (they might be different lines for you but with a similar text) i replaced the name of my external card wich is sdcard1 with the name of my internal storage sdcard0 , also the names in your device may be different but the idea is the same these are the tow lines before and after the replacment so you know what lines to search for and edit they should be very similar to these :

before

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host

after

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host

Nothing else changed, after that i saved the file and restart the device and the sd card become my internal storage and the internal become the external sd card.

Now that worked for me to replace my inernal and external card it should work for you, just be careful i'm not responsible for any damage might happen to your device if that didn't work , do a backup of the file before editing it in case some thing goes wrong ,so you can return the file as it was, and if this worked for you press the thanks button , and then install what ever games you like on your sd card what ever size it is. :cool:
