Hi. I just rooted my Xperia Go with stock jelly bean. But I noticed one problem, when I see storage info I'm only using 4 gb of space, but my sd card is 32 gb so I want to know what's the problem and how can I use the ext sd card. Because I'm just wasting a lot of space. I upload a screenshot too, hope you can help.
I think the problem is to swap storage/sdcard1 to /sdcard0 or not?

It no a problem because every Android smartphone will slip memory to 3 part which is phone memory (you cannot access file trough USB for new type phone), internal memory (as SD Card for GB version and SD Card 0 in JB) and external memory (as Ex_Card for GB and SD Card 1) another one is USB storage (not use at all) you can try go this link

if not you try to swap SD (ext sd to internal sd)

Hey guy i just installed MIUI with ICS and before tried real hard with CM9 and mokee and with all of then i couldnt make my internal SD card work
I can still see all data when i mount emmc using file explorrer but my camera and any other app for that matter is not able to detect internal memory card...
is there a way to fix this???
i dont have any external sd card at this point otherwise would have worked with it......
CM9- Go to menu and under device click advanced and check use internal storage and reboot your phone

Does anyone know how to swap the internal storage with the sd card? The fstab looks funky.

what do you mean by swap the internal storage with the external? dont you just normally use both internal and external together?
FOr what reasons? For apps to be moved/installed in the external SD?
Answer is at the moment Apps2SD doesn't work YET in s3
No. I mean to literally swap their mount directories. I've done this before on my Note. I edited my vold.fstab and with a little help got my internal storage mounted to /sdcard/ExternalSD and my 64GB SD card mounted to /sdcard. That's what I want to do here.

Thank you so much. And to answer the questions, I want to do this so my internal storage can be as big as the SD card I'm using. For example, I have the storage swapped on my n7000 so my 64GB SD card is read as internal storage and my 16GB internal storage is read as an external SD card.

I would like to do the same. i have done this switch on my note and it works flawlessly. I want to do this because I am a hardcore gamer and 16gb is nowhere near enough space to store all my game data, but my 64gb sd card is.

Never thought of it that way hehe. But I have a question about the setup: Have you ever had issues where your SD card randomly unmounted itself? If so, what happened to the system? Were you still able to run it or did it freeze or anything else?
Thanks
Not even once and I have had it set this way on my note for months through several different roms

The internal SDcard is not a real partition but a userspace mount (fuser)
It's configured in the file /init.smdk4x12.rc with the exact definition:
Code:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023
I don't see the daemon getting any kind of configuration as to the target directory. Either it's hardcoded or it uses /system/etc/vold.conf definition volume_sdcard the mount_point value.
You can't use Easy UMS anymore though since it will unmount the external SD.
Just using the APK Directory Bind will work fine though to simulate folders on the external SDcard as being on the internal one.
You can swap over the Internal SD with your external SD so you could have a 64GB phone with a 16GB ext card (assuming your phone is a 16GB one) - take a look at ExtSd2InternalSd v4|Increase your data storage
I've been running HB and following the dev forum regularly. I've heard of people having external SD card issues. I am wondering if I am having these issues too. When I try to move an app to my SD card, it moves it from one partition to the other, not the external SD. Is it supposed to do that or am I having the external SD card issues?
Thanks in advance.

The dev shrunk the partition for the app storage (USB storage) I think... so when you move to sd your actually moving to the internal storage. I'm kinda new hear also but I read in the jb threads they did it for performance I believe. Hope this helps

The internal SD is setup with a system partition a data partition and a datadata partition that between them takes up about 3gb. Leaving around 13gb left on internal SD. The system part is basically the apps from ROM. The data and datadata is basically apps you DL and use. So when you move an app to SD you move it from the data part to internal SD.

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

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