How to switch/swap Internal Memory with SD Card - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I read in "asnet miui v5" thread that there is the possibility to swap internal storage with external SD card.
The download in asnet miui thread is broken.
Can somebody give me a link to a thread or directly a download link for the flashable swap zip?
Thx in advance!

Swapping is done via editing two lines in the vold.fstab file, just search for it I myself have written simple instructions in a similar post once.

Hey guys!
I try this internal memory increase mod and it work my Sony Live With Walkman WT19i CM9.1. This mod posted on XDA Xperia Arc Android Development sub forum. This is only a sharing, I'm not the person who developed this Mod. Developed by "XtremeSilencer"
Installation instructions
1. create a ext partition [ any ext2/3/4 ]
2. put this mod in your sd card
3. Make nandroid backup. (backup and restore>backup)
4. Flash the zip (install zip from sd>choose zip from sd card)
5. after flashing...wipe data/factory reset
6. reboot and enjoy
Download:- http://www.mediafire.com/?y7rblybs7474yyp
I think this mod performances depend on the SD card class. If this work hit the thanks button.
Note! After phone boot up, first few minutes phone slow. After that it OK.

Done succcesfully in CM10. Thank u OP for referring us to the great mod
Don't you think that link2sd is better?
It allows you to choose which apps should be stored in phone and which should be moved to sdcard. That really matters because sd-cards are limited in write-read cycles, so moving all apps to sd is not the best idea.
And link2sd is way too simple:
1. Make 2nd partition
2. Install and run link2sd
3. Reboot
4. Move what you want to move

Dead Link...
Can you please add new link, this one id dead.
I want to give it a try, Link2SD is no a solution because the apps still waste internal memory as well...
Thanks

Link2SD wastes the internal memory too. If you have a lot of apps you'll see your memory disappear too
Broken link to download can fix please? Thank you :good:
Here's a link to the original thread, however be warned that the author has been banned (don't know why) and it seems that the script is pretty buggy. I haven't tried it myself but it would be great if theres anything similar that's working.

You can increase you internal by moving all apps (On SD or On Internal Memory) to the second partition on SD card which should be ext2.. And yes "Link2SD" is working very well with me on ICS.. You don't need to unlock your bootloader for such an action.. Use ext2.. X-Parts and recovery is not related to anything of what you will do so don't worry.. I believe that Link2SD is a very good tool.. Use it
I wish I helped you

[Q] CM-10.2 Swap SD help?

Hey guys! Thanks for taking a look at my question!
To start off I'd like to say sorry if I misplaced this thread.
Ok so last night I flashed TeamChopsticks' CM-10.2 ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate. If you have this phone, you'd know that is only has 1.12GB internal storage and 1.40GB internal SD space.. So, like on my last ROM, I decided to swap my SD cards- but for some reason in my build.prop file I didn't find anything that has to do with the SD swapping. I've checked to see if I have a vold.fstab and don't, so I'm guessing it should be in my build.prop. Please help? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.-.
Anything would be appreciated!
Bump O Updated title :3
Bump, please guys. Even if it isn't for the phone, or just advice. Leave a comment?

I have a previous post that might be of use LINK. Definitely don't flash the zip itself though as your build prop will be different.
Lol thanks! It actually didn't work though *thanks anyways*

beginner :(

As most of you I have the same problem with my SD card. I started "playing" with my phone yesterday....
I have Xperia Neo V and i installed today CyanogenMod. - It looks fine but ... no apps. Furthermore I tried to create partitions over my SD card with
MiniTool Partition Wizard. I tried to install the Jelly Bean, but I get the message that sd card cannot be mounted. Can somebody help me with details over the procedure? (download links and steps)
Thanks in advance
I think the instructions are too fuzzy for me ...
Hi @spirto82 you originally posted your question into a HTC One S thread, so I moved your post into the proper device forum.
Regards.

I think you've created a wrong file system while partitioning. Mind elaborating what file system did you select while making the partition?

I formated the SD as an NFS partition and as Primary and solved the problem! Indeed it was the file system type!
