Here you go, I made this for when I tried LSJ on my phone. I have attached a CWM flashable zip and the edited vols.fstab file if you want to push it or copy it over with a root explorer. Just rename the vold.fstab.txt file to vold.fstab, XDA wouldn't let me upload an attachment with the .fstab extension

Not external SD card, it allows swapping the inbuilt 16GB memory and whatever SD card you have in the MicroSD slot so the phone sees the microSD card as the first point of storage, allowing you to use up to 64GB memory for game data download etc.

Samsung make this phone with internal storage USB storage and sd card but all the app files go to USB which is 12 gb. When playing Gameloft games which take around 2gb each it fills quickly so if you have a big sd card you can make the phone see the sdcard as usb

[Q] How to access "Old ICS file" when I update to Jelly Bean

Hi everyone,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 with ICS 4.0.4 ROM and Update to CM 10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2
follow with this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202
Everything is pass but after I update to CM 10.1 by wipe the factory setting , wipe cache and wipe dilvik cache. I check the storage on my Tab 10.1 is used for 7GB that I am not install any app.
I connect my tab to my computer it seen only few directory of storage. It is not like a ICS that I can see root and all folder.
After I try to check the source of storage that used. I see it when I boot with recovery mode and select update with zip file, I can see all directory that ever used in ICS at the root directory.
But in Recovery Mode I can not delete for do anything with these directory.
I try to install "Root Explorer" App but cannot access these folder.
The Question is.
1. Have anyone ever solved this probelm. Can we access the old ICS file in Jelly Bean ? and How ?
2. If I cannot do it with Jelly Bean. Can I access with ICS ROM if I downgrade to ICS
3. If I must downgrade to ICS, I want some suggestion to downgrade form CM 10.1 , What's the important things that I should do.
Thanks,
Niphon S.
You will find your old files in 0 folder under Storage, Sdcard, Emulated, 0. However, your nandbackups will be in Mnt, Shell, Emulated, Clockworkmod, backup.

Put AppData onto your SD Card

Hi guys, so i ran out of storage on my mega 6.3 and found out it was the googleplay music data, so i just looked for a solution and ran over this:
watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I am not allowed to put a link it in it, just put youtube . com infront of this
It's really easy and may help to put huge appdata like games and music pinned with google play on your SD Card. :good:
With a 64GB SD-Card i can install any game and put any data onto my phone now
(Sry for my english, I am from austria)
Hopefully I helped a little bit

I don't have 9205 but have 9152 mega 5.8. By default the latest 4.2.2 already has transfer app to sd. Then to transfer game data I use gl to sd. Of course root is required. Folder mount also works but I have not tried it.
I also use folder mount but there is also an thread here that switches your internal and external sd.
Only problem is that after root i can not do OTA updates anymore.
But i think kies does work.

The question is app DATA you mean the latest fw can move the game data such as the obb folder? And without root?

I don't know about without root, my Rom has root as well but the official one should be the same.
I am not sure about the data, would that not move with the app? If you run from SD would it not store it on SD? I am not a gamer so I don't know but you could try it, the Rom is an update anyway.
Ok so you have not tried it with game or any app data separate from the app. If the app data is on aseparate folder like "obb" folderthen itwill not move. This is also true with music files and backup files of titanium backup for example.
Gl to sd is the app to use if the app data is separate from the app itself. But the TS does not want to root so I think there is no way yet. Previously on 4.1.2 there was external to internal app but does not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I do know Titanium is movable, you set the place to do backups in the settings.
Anyway there is another thread stating what I already said here- that the MJ2 does not move the obb folder/data only the app.

Surely where the app puts its data is down to the app not the rom?
Previously I used a phone wherein application installation can be installed on the externalsd by selection or by default. So a rom can be programmed to do so. I don't know how difficult will that be to code on the mega and similar phonesbecause of the emulated internal memory though.

I don't think you can use the official Dorimanx kernel with Omni just as yet because it has not yet been made compatible with KK roms.
What version you are trying to use?

You need dorimanx version 10, which has not been released officially (like said by the person above). This 10 version is aviable in the beta thread. Search for it, only if you now what you are doing.

External storage has some issues: it's impossible to copy great amount of files ( 600+ ) with total size of 1.4GB+.
I've tried copy from external sdcard to pc over both, mtp and usb protocols. The operation always gets stuck after a couple of files. The same behavior detected when trying to copy files locally, when using file manager. I've tried to copy from external sdcard to internal - useless. Fails after a couple of files.

Maybe it's about the amount of files, and not the size. I was also able to copy 2 relatively big files under the same "problematic" rom. Try like 60-100 files with total size of 500+ MB, and I think you'll see it.
