Hi , ive looked for an answer to this but couldnt find conclusive solution so here i am .
I replaced about 10 roms in my android "career" and along the way i got many files packing up my sd card , now im not sure what i can erase without hurting my device system . Any suggestions ? Maybe an app that does that ?
TY
Most should be fine to delete without harm. Just did the same myself.

There should be no issue deleting ROM files from your sd card. They do not form part of the running system, so no issue.

Whats wrong with looking on your On SD Card within menu and selecting uninstall?
mmm the chance of deleting something crucial and *****slapping my 500$ phone to hell ?

Hello, noob here!
I've searched this forum for an answer but had no luck, so here goes...
I'm considering installing about 2 dozen apps to my phone's SD card in order to leave internal memory available for more important stuff.
Now, I've installed a couple of them already and what I've noticed is that not most of them create their own app folder at SD card root. So if I proceed to install all the selected apps I'll end with a pretty messy root folder - and that's not counting all the data (folders) I would migrate later on.
Could someone please tell me if it's possible to pre-define a folder on my SD card where all apps would be installed?
Presumably, it's just a path alteration so shouldn't be too hard.
Right... ?
Thanks!
Nope.. you can't modify the location...
Those folders normally being used to store cache data or anything. The file won't be huge...

I was afraid of that... Dang. :-\
You can still delete if you like it. Not effect much. Do check what is contain inside.

Hey folks,
got a little problem with the latest HyDrOG3N-ICS
When I go into the camera app, a toast says "Your SD card is full" ... well and this is simply not true
I read somewhere I should format the internal SD card ... whatever that means, but I can find it in CWM.
Is there anything I have to do before or after that ... besides making a backup somewhere else than on my internal memory ?
Hey I have the same problem I cannot take photos, does anyone have a fix? Sorry I'm a massive noob, tried to search but found nothing

Install ES FILE EXPLORER and explore all of the folders in external and internal sd card, you will get to know how much space is being consumed. If its just a camera problem, switch to "ICS Camera+" app and then try.,

u can try formatting system in advance menu to make sure there are no left overs from your previous rom. i always do that when i install a new rom. always safe to avoid glitches like these. hope this helps
hi all i have been very annoyed with sonys attitude to getting the sd card mounting wrong even after speaking to them online and over the phone i got the same reply ... this is not a fault with sony this is something you will need to contact the app devs. unhappy with this i tried fixes found on the www all came up with the same problem it all works fine on the phone but not on pc so after a bit of work i think i have a solution
the vold.fstabs in the /etc needs to be tweaked as with all others on the net but this one works with the pc as well.
has been tested on my device if you replace it with the file attached (root access required ) after renaming original to .bak .
reboot device if you get sd error on reboot please delete and restore orginal and post your finding
please note i am not a dev i have some knowledge but just a hobbyist
i hold no responsibility MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP

Hi.
Is this a bug on all Xperia GO?
I don't have any issue with my SD card on my phone, everything are working like it should i believe.
Could you please explain what kind of problem this is? The SD EXT card i believe is the extra memory card you insert into the phone. If so, i don't have any problem with that one.
Thanks in advance

this is a problem with all go and as far as i know all xperia 2012 phones where the internal memory is partitioned to system and user the user is then mounted as sd card meaning that after 4gb no more app data can be installed etc. this means that you SD CARD is unusable for apps and app data (apps2sd) will try to install to sd card but go to internal memory

but not working. Now everything is ok. Thank You very much!
Uhu, I messed up.
I did everything you said, but right after restarting, some apps (usbotg, media service etc) stopped working and some apps as well, I think they were in internal storage.
One thing, as you were saying, the ext_sd will be sdcard and the sdcard will be ext_sd?
[Xperia Go] are the mountpoints the same in JB?
If I switch my internal and external sd mountpoints using ICS, will a upgrade to JB using SUS overwrite the(modified) vfold.fstab?
Isuspect the upgrade will unroot the phone
can i use in xperia go JB st27i? i tried, but unsuccessfully

My device is (samsung galaxy S3 - odin rooted )
any solution? thx in advance
I think your /sdcard is internal memory. The /mnt/extsdcard is external memory. If you removed your external sdcard do all your files and stuff disappear or are they still there?
If you are rooted I think you can change where everything gets mounted or maybe change it in your boot.img.
Also, it's not for nothing. Consider this an educational journey into the rich world of rooted phones.

First thx and about stuff disappear , no i can still see them whenever i use usb cable or any
its my first android so am new to expressions (your boot.img)
its ok just wanted to have more memory cuz my empty memory is 700 mb :S right now
and am using the factory rom ( maybe i have to setup rom so it can work?)
about education am afraid to educate on my s3 maybe i have to buy a cheap one until i learn how to use
thx again bro
Since you are rooted you can install a custom rom that has no bloatware. You'll get more space because it will only have the apps that you want

Looks like your apps are staying on your internal SD then. No skin off my nads.

it doesnt work it reads my usb memory as a SD card , my sd card is 8 gb and it reads my usb memory as 11 gb
I don't understand You Have Usb memory and SD card ? can you explain ?
there is plenty of space for apps on sgs2 .. so you dont need to install them on your SD-Card ...
the internal SD Card is much faster though .. so you will have more fun starting them

There are several methods(whatever method you will need root) , one is swapping the internal and external memory card so all apps will directly install into the sd card(there are several threads on how to do it, I think there is an app in play store too) , and other method is using a third party application like directory bind.
Edit:
A simple search gave me this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010152 it contains the vold.fstab file for your version too.
You should try searching properly, If one man can do it, another can.
