Download gl2sd from play store and move ur huge game data to extSdCard. Its easy and best according to me.

hi all i have been very annoyed with sonys attitude to getting the sd card mounting wrong even after speaking to them online and over the phone i got the same reply ... this is not a fault with sony this is something you will need to contact the app devs. unhappy with this i tried fixes found on the www all came up with the same problem it all works fine on the phone but not on pc so after a bit of work i think i have a solution
the vold.fstabs in the /etc needs to be tweaked as with all others on the net but this one works with the pc as well.
has been tested on my device if you replace it with the file attached (root access required ) after renaming original to .bak .
reboot device if you get sd error on reboot please delete and restore orginal and post your finding
please note i am not a dev i have some knowledge but just a hobbyist
i hold no responsibility MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP

Hi.
Is this a bug on all Xperia GO?
I don't have any issue with my SD card on my phone, everything are working like it should i believe.
Could you please explain what kind of problem this is? The SD EXT card i believe is the extra memory card you insert into the phone. If so, i don't have any problem with that one.
Thanks in advance

this is a problem with all go and as far as i know all xperia 2012 phones where the internal memory is partitioned to system and user the user is then mounted as sd card meaning that after 4gb no more app data can be installed etc. this means that you SD CARD is unusable for apps and app data (apps2sd) will try to install to sd card but go to internal memory

but not working. Now everything is ok. Thank You very much!
Uhu, I messed up.
I did everything you said, but right after restarting, some apps (usbotg, media service etc) stopped working and some apps as well, I think they were in internal storage.
One thing, as you were saying, the ext_sd will be sdcard and the sdcard will be ext_sd?
[Xperia Go] are the mountpoints the same in JB?
If I switch my internal and external sd mountpoints using ICS, will a upgrade to JB using SUS overwrite the(modified) vfold.fstab?
Isuspect the upgrade will unroot the phone
can i use in xperia go JB st27i? i tried, but unsuccessfully
Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I have a question: I know that i can't do a sd partition without a mod kernel, but there's no mod kernel for my device(sola)!
In development section there is a script that let me move app to sd but I don't understand if it works like Link2sd or if it is a great substitute of a sd partition..
Tnx for help!
are you refering to sd card not mounting as sd ? if so and you are a rpot user if u can send me ur vold.stab from systrm/etc i can look at changing it for you

that is absolutely not true. you dont need a custom kernel to partition your sd card.
what you need is a class 4 and above memory card and a rooted phone.
here is a full and easy guide that i always use everytime when i want to partition my sd card to use link2sd

so you are saying that the apps and app data are biengs stored on ur internel memory not your sd card when using apps2sd
Sent from my ST27i using xda app-developers app
Link2sd moves tha app on my ext sd card (not the phone sd card) but i know that it doesn't move it completly, it moves only a part, the other still stay on the memory's phone (or phone sd card i don't know).
I read a some post on this and in order to move totally the app to the ext sd card I know is necessary create a partition on the ext sd card and have a custom kernel (i'm not really sure about this last thing because a user over here says that it doesn't necessary and stock kernel is ok);
I only want to know if there is a alternative method to move the full app on the ext sd card (like the script in the post of the development section, but i don't understand if it's the solution that i'm seraching) or the only way is create a partition on the sd card (using a mod kernel or not..).
tnx a lot!

i just can not move apps or games to my external sd card
when i used (app2sd) program it gives me this msg : the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary external storage is emulated .
My device is (samsung galaxy S3 - odin rooted )
any solution? thx in advance
I think your /sdcard is internal memory. The /mnt/extsdcard is external memory. If you removed your external sdcard do all your files and stuff disappear or are they still there?
If you are rooted I think you can change where everything gets mounted or maybe change it in your boot.img.
Also, it's not for nothing. Consider this an educational journey into the rich world of rooted phones.

First thx and about stuff disappear , no i can still see them whenever i use usb cable or any
its my first android so am new to expressions (your boot.img)
its ok just wanted to have more memory cuz my empty memory is 700 mb :S right now
and am using the factory rom ( maybe i have to setup rom so it can work?)
about education am afraid to educate on my s3 maybe i have to buy a cheap one until i learn how to use
thx again bro
Since you are rooted you can install a custom rom that has no bloatware. You'll get more space because it will only have the apps that you want

alright guys i brief it out...
1. i wanted to run NFS MW game in my phone, but it requires 2055 MB data to be stored and accessed via phone internal memory
2. so i root my phone to swap memory, so that my 8GB memory card can act as internal memory to serve the purpose..
3. swapping memories went successful but still game gave me same error that 2055MB needs to be downloaded but 0MB storage is available in your phone, clean some memory and try again.
4. then i created a 3.5GB partition out my 8gb card hoping it may work (also used an app Link2SD) but the problem still persist.
please suggest me how to proceed?

i have tried this already via Link2SD app but no help :/ more suggestions?
Bro, it seems you are running jellybean 4.1.2 on your phone. That's why it still uses your internal memory as your default memory. Rather than doimd all the tedious work of swapping memory and partitioning, it would be much better if you just upgrade your phone to stock Jellybean 4.2.1 which is the official version released by micromax. The tutorials are extensively present both in xda and YouTube. By doing so, Jellybean 4.2 by default takes your ext.SD card as your your default memory( there's an option under Settings > Storage to click on your preferred default memory. Just click ext.SD card and your job will be done! You can download any heavy games like NFS MW or FIFA or anything. You won't have any memory issues again!
Hope this helped you. Don't forget to hit the thanks button

OPPS sorry about that dead link.....
This link is working today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHsHiXDgSy4
I put the whole URL this time to copy and paste.
I use the FREE EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to partition the sd card. I find it easier to and faster to back up the contents of sd card to computer than partition. and than transfer bkup to sd card on the 1st Primary Fat32 partition.
Takes to long to transfer 4 to 6 GB back from bkup to card from pc to phone IMO.
OR
Here is a step by step .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllIEBzuPHo I prefer the 4000MB partition for the NU storage.
Be sure to set or make BOTH the partitions "Primary" partitions or they will not work with Link2sd.
I tried Mini tool and Aparted but they might work for others, they didn't work for me.
Link2sd card is the most reliable and easy to do the linking from old tiny internal storage to the NEW enlarged external storage that I have found.
And if that app does not do it for anyone try foldermount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWTghTploY

So, basically your solution is based on using additional SD card not changing/modifying the phones' EMMC memory.
I think I had tried Link2SD/Folder mount earlier and not all apps supports with this method.
It is still helpful but I think we(other users) still like to change the EMMC side.
But I still want to tried your suggested method to try. Thank you!!!
