Is there a Fota Fix for this phone? My friend needs some more storage availibleavailible

No. Use app2sd, link2sd or whatever similar. (Read the sticky posts.)
Is there a manual fix? And he doesn't have much space on his SD card

Then let him get a bigger SD card. No, there is no manual fix for limited RAM, it is impossible to fix it except by soldering more chips on the PCB. Use SD card for storage/cache; read the sticky posts and threads linked there.

Is there a mod out there that mounts the external,removable micro sim card as the internal sdcard, and the internal as the external? I have a 32gb class 10 SD card and at this point it is practically empty because all of my nandroids are on the internal SD. It would rock if someone could make this and inwoukd definitely donate to the person who is willing to help. It is getting annoying because I am already almost out of space on my internal SD. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure how to answer your original question but you can move nandroid backups to your external sd card and if you need it, move it back later.

Yes i know that, but that takes too way too long and it is a pain in the ass. But thanks
what would possibly warrant posting this in the dev section?
I swear someone did this for the international. Or it may have been another phone I have but I know its been done. But even the Dec who wrote the script.to join the partitions said he wouldn't use it on a daily driver. I think it was just more a proof of concept

It can be done with CM7. There is a setting in there to swap the cards so that the internal will be emmc and external will be sdcard. Some people have accidently swapped them and didn't know how they did it or how to get it back to normal.

Google say it can be done but phone since they using Exfat it means Samsung have to put some more effort into making it work, but Samsung decided they not gonna bother even though they have on other phones it is completely Samsung's fault.

That is not totally correct.Google stopped the external SD support and Samsung tried a workaround and can be done.
exfat is a supported conversion on our phone but not standard.
U can flash this to be able to move apps to SD. But u need to convert it to fat32
I was actually looking for a solution too. But its sad that I need to use fat32. I prefer ExFAT so that I can store high def movies on my External SD card. Hope theres a solution for those who use the ExFAT file system soon.
U r Big m8, i did what u said, just flashed the mod and now my memory card is showing as sd,not extsd, im very happy guy right now! Thanks for answer everybody!!!

[MOD](recommended)Team Infernal Presents l Swap sdcard & Is Now Reversable l All Roms
This is a flashable zip i made for you to mount the microsd as /mnt/sdcard and the internal sdcard of this phone as /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd
Instructions:
Just flash it
Requirements:
HtcDev unlock
Custom recovery
Ps: I also posted this in general before because my thank meter was on 0 so i couldnt post in development
cm10 version attached
Nice thanks for this all we need is root now I'm so tired of not being able to use my SD card for anything but media
If the root method you are helping me with works you can just place the vold.fstab on system/etc yourself, glad to be helping

As I stated, I can already use it for everything and Im still not rooted and still locked. I can move downloaded files to it, I can easily access anything on the SD card.
oh yes sir you can ''use'' it but all apps are automatically installed to the ''sd card'' (internal hard drive)
will reflashing undo the swap?
Good question for those wondering this mod (I guess its a mod) works

Flashing the original vold.fstab will reverse this. So, yes, reflashing will undo it.

This mod is wonderful. I like knowing that if my phone's internal memory fails (or if I accidentally wipe it), I can just pop out my SD card because it has all my important data. For me, one of the benefits of most Android phones over the iPhone is the removable memory! And only about half of the apps I use were able to default to using the external card when the internal one was present and mounted first. Switching them solves that.

Not necessarily. Coming from the Nook Tablet forums, this has been an issue that has been debated for some time. When you want to write quickly to a card you are better off with a higher class. However, if you need to read from a card, i.e. running an app or a whole OS, or booting off of into a recovery, higher rated cards don't mean faster read rates. Some lower class cards have a higher read rate. There is a discussion about this in the Nook Color forums and is hit on sometimes in the Nook Tab forums, sorry I don't have a link though.
IMHO Sandisk class 4 have the highest performance for reading from. This may not apply though, once you go to a bigger cards; 16G or 32G - I've only had personal experience with 4G cards.
I got a 64g class 10 SD card for Xmas and want to move my apps to my SD. I've tried apps2sd from the play store (all of them) and it says something isn't supported or recognized (something along those lines). I did the mod with script manager swapping the internal and external storages which essentially gave me 60 gigs of internal and 10 gigs external but the gallery, camera and a few other things were sort of borked.
I was talking with a buddy that said apps2sd worked for him with his 32g class 10.
I have less then a gig of storage left on my internal just from apps (my music, pics etc are on my external).
Is this a 64g SD card thing or am I doing something wrong?

Your friend is lying, most likely. That or its not apps2sd.
Not that you need that anyway. You need something to move the associated data, like DirectoryBind. Moving little piddly apps under /data/app isn't going to do much for you.

Check out the mod under android development that swaps the internal storage with microSD, so essentially your 64gb sd would be swapped with your 16gb internal, and all apps would go to sd by themselves.

In this dropbox are two SD Card Swaps. One is for a card formatted in exFat and one for Fat32.
If you use TWRP you'll be fine with the exFat one because your card is most likely exFat already. If you want to use CWM go get a program that will format your SD card into Fat 32 and flash the Fat 32 zip.
NEXT DISCLAIMER: In the event that radios are leaked you may want to remove the swap before flashing. It will most likely screw something up. You can remove the swap by going into the etc folder, clicking on init.d and removing the file that is named similarly to the zip file

Really?
You are the second person to literally not read this thread.
The OP DOES NOT WANT TO DO THE CARD SWAP.
You even quoted a post from him saying why he didn't want to.
i didn't see any priors threads to this so i am asking is this possible i don't see any options in the app managment section and app2sd card pro didn't work do custom roms have this if so i will be rooting asap. EDIT: Looks like i have found a way around it those of you interested in moving big data to sd card, app does require root but works flawlessly in my experience so far http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.slf.ListglApp

It is there you may not have searched with the correct terms.
Apps2sd hasn't really worked in a while on a lot of phones. Least that I have owned.
If you flash a custom ROM you can do an SD card swap. So if you had a 32GB mem card it would become your "internal" and your 16GB would become the "external"

Though I haven't tried it yet, there are reports that directory bind works on the note 2 in a similar fashion. I hope this is true because the nand in the phone is much quicker than a card.

I can confirm that Directory Bind does work providing you're on a non-4.2 rom. Android 4.2's new multi-user feature causes Directory Bind to not properly mount apps to the external SD card.
