[Q] SD Card Flip - Motorola Droid X2

Hey, I have eclipse installed and in doing so it automatically switched my sd card location. Internal is now external, and external is now internal. under settings I have selected install apps to internal sd card, which now means they are installing to my external card correct? Also when I got into settings to manage applications it shows hardly anything installed to the external card but that's because its.flipped right? Im just a little confused cuz if I ever want to sbf again I want to make sure they are installed to the real external card so I don't lose anything. So theoretically I should not use the option under settings to "move app to external card" because I would be moving it to the internal? Is there any other way to see if they are installed on my real external card? For example plugging in to a computer via usb and being able to see what's there?
Thanks in advance for any help.

one way to check is power off, remove sd card, reboot
if app still works its not on sd card

+1 cant you also just search for it on your sd card?

Lol guess I could... really just looking for confirmation that im doing it right... having internal selected as my storage location meaning everything is going to external.

Replacement Phone....

I had to order a replacement phone. Question I have is when I re-root and install titanium bu, will all of my information (apps and data) still be there? Or will I have to do everything all over again?
If you didn't save it on your external SD card or to your computer yes you have to download all over it again.
Save titanium back up folder to your external SD card or to your computer once in a while so if anything goes wrong u can just put it back on the internal SD card and just restore it.

Not saving to sd card?

How do i get stuff to save to sd instead of internal memory? I see in root explorer /sdcard and /sdcard-ext which is my my sdcard.

It will ask you where you want to to save files to. Try going into the file manager.

I know what you mean - I don't see a way to do this by default across the board. Some apps let you choose the backup location and you'd have to type in the path you wrote above. Other than that, aside from some of the stock Moto apps that let you specify saving to the "SD Card" - which is actually the card, other apps will only identify the internal memory thinking it is the "SD Card".
I don't like how Moto made the internal memory identify itself as the SD Card.

Precisely what i mean. thanks.... Hmmm.... Kinda crappy that you can't change in most apps to automatically save to sd card. Kinda defeats the purpose of one.

Wait a sec... Sdcard-ext is the actual sd card? And the regular sdcard is the internal storage? Oooohh that explains alot then. I was so confused about that. For some reason I though the phone was partitioning the sd card into two... Woops lol

MeanRom 6.0 and sd apps

i have a 16gb sd card in and am running MeanRom 6.0, the problem i ham having is whenever i go into apps and try to move to sd, there is no option on doing so.
You can use titanium backup or android assistant.
Maybe the app you trying to move is not app2sd compatible try moving a different app like Netflix or Pandora. See if its work

If you use Titanium backup theirs two different places you can put your app in and that's internal memory and SD card. I believe what he's trying to ask is, can he put the app in the Ext SD card.
Theirs three memory places are phone has, Internal, SD card or Ext card. TBU only shows internal or SD card to save them in, not Ext SD card.

Phone memory is sd card

Hey all i have a problem, i cant instal rom cuz in CWM my sd card is phone memory WTF! In file manager my phone memory is SD card.
Really need help bro's.
Its supposed to be like that. Its like the internal SD card of the phone. For me, it never wipes the internal SD card when I installed a custom ROM. But I always made a backup. If you want to put ROM on external SD card, you can do so. And when you search for the ROM, the folder should be labeled as external SD

Id est quod est
CM made this swap mid ICS is I remember. Was this to mitigate the encryption bug wiping out the internal?
