How to exchange memories - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Hi, this is a tutorial that explain how to change the internal sd with the external.
It is an idea of danitab78, i decided to create this to shy away from talking in other threads.
I think it solves the main problem of our device that has only 2,3 gb as internal sd.
It works on this script:
ICS:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
The only thing to do is create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd
At first, you must have a file managar that works on rooted phones like "Root Explorer" and also "Script Manager - SManager" so you can bring the attached file into your phone, i suggest you to paste it in system/etc. Now rename your .txt in .sh.
Open Script Manager with root permissions and find the .sh, tap on it, and if is asked how to open it, choos script/executable. In the next windows tap on "su", "boot","save" and finally "run".
If it doesnt give you any error it has worked!
Congratulations

JELLYBEAN:
I copied kumas post, so thanks to him here and here
ROOT IS REQUIRED and Jelly Bean
I made/copied (lol) this script by combining Artas182x and Mateo1111 scripts
this is how you would save it as script (.sh file)
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
SU
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:61; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
busybox rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
busybox chmod -R 777 /storage/external_SD
fi
Or just download the attachment and unzip to your sdcard and run with smanger or similar app (and set to boot at startup if you want)
Note:
1.When using the camera and video recorder, change settings storage to internal memory (if you don't, you will have to reboot the phone to see your pic/vid you just took)
2.This script will allow you to install large size games (ex. Asphalt 7) but you will still need link2sd (to move apps to your external_SD)
Now if you use the link2sd app, select the "create symbolic link"
lol one more thing, you will need to partition your sdcard to use link2sd.
3.If y'all have busybox installed properly this script should work fine. In addition, this script is all set for init.d (but i have problems using this method). You will get an error for SU, because it's set for init.d. However, the script still works fine through a terminal.
Warning, using Android Tuner app can mess up your L9 and I'm not responsible if you do!
Or if you don't want to use link2sd and partition your Sdcard, you can use Android Tuner However, this app is really advance and you should make a CWM backup (thanks to Artas182x) before messing with this app. It has a lot of options and you could mess the phone up.
I did it for a better english, i hope

I did it and i installed NFS Most Wanted and Asphalt 7, so definetly yes

it works, my internal now states 16gb
but i still don`t understand " The only thing to do is create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd"
does it means i have make folder external_sd after all the process?
in process so should be like this
1. install script manager
2. load script
3. check internal sd now should be as big as our mmc
4. create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd
does it right?

---

Normally, in /mnt/sdcard there is a folder named "external_sd" that is your microsd card, you have to create a folder named "external_sd" in it.
It doesnt matter if you create it before or after the script, i did it after and it worked but i think it would have worked in any case

Perfect it worked!!!

it really is move data of the application..
but if you take a look on "/data/app/" the installed apps is still there and the "/sdcard/app" is empty
it seems move everything including data of application (OBB files), and default location of application like whatsapp media now is in the "/sdcard/whatsapp"
is that normal or there would be any possible way to move "/data/app" to such as "/sdcard/app" ??

insted of script manager u could simplify this to make a script in rom toolbox lite via scripter
just put inside the script
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
\
name it as u wish, example "int2sd" and make it run on boot

sorry for asking this..
if i do this switching the memory, so the external sd will be the internal and the internal will be the external sd.. is it right?
