Hello ,
I have a MTK device, and the storage is like that :
- ROM storage ( 515 Mb )
- Internal storage ( 825 Mb )
- SD interne storage ( 2.37 Gb )
- SD Externe storage ( it's my own sd card, my 8Gb insered sd card )
As you can see, there is a " internal sd card " that i can't remove at all ( it's like a 2nd internal storage )
But i have a lot of apps and sometimes this apps have a huge data ( like a couple of game or my GPS app )
So my problem is that when i move my applications to the SDcard, they go into the internal sdcard, but i would like to move them to the external sd card.
Maybe i nead to change a script or a system file to corrige that ? Or maybe a app is make for this ?
Please help me :cyclops:
You'd need to do something along these lines: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389 though definitely want to either know how to restore your stock rom or have a custom recovery with a nandroid backup. Your vold.fstab file will most certainly be different, but the basic principles are the same. If you don't have root and/or recovery or have the stock files and understand how to use the SP Flash Tool, then you should not proceed because it's very easy to brick your device or at least make it unusable. Case in point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718754 Another option MIGHT be this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext but not sure if it supports your platform, and same warnings apply - you should know how to backup and restore your phone before you proceed.
I have tried the Internal 2 external app but i had some problems with it
BUT i have founds a very very easy solution ! I have only edited 2 lines in a file who is in the " system " folder ( i have a nand backup + a recovery backup so no problem ), and now, my external SD card are recognized as the internal SD card and the internal as the external SD card
And since yesterday i have no problem at all, and i have booted a couple of times my tablett.
It's the solution presented here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389

Hello All,
Just got a white one without any external SD-Card (the micro SD) installed. I was able to root it using the CF-ROOT V5.0 guide which is an excellent resource for noobs like me.
Using the CWM (which shows in the applications menu after the root) I was able to take phone complete backup.
Now the confusion begins that even though there was no external SD card installed the backup took place and then it was saved in
Code:
/sdcard/Clockworkmod/backup/folder_name_date_time
Infact /sdcard is the home directory to start with, which is shown when I browse files using the built-in file manager called "My Files".
So when is there is no SD-Card installed, why is the internal home directory called SD-Card , where the nandroid backups are saved automatically ? (i guess the internal storage is also called SD-Card, is it so ? bad naming idea then)
Now I did install a 2GB external SD-card and formatted it using the storage options within the settings menu.
So apparently this (actual) SD-card is mounted in the directory called
Code:
/sdcard/external_sd
Then again I tried taking a nandriod backup hoping that it would automatically detect this available external sd card and would save the backups, which did not happen and the nandroid again took backup to the internal SD storage.
So how to direct nandroid to take and place backups on the external SD card.?
Secondly I have also read about the Sd-Ext partition, can someone please explain what is this partition , how is it made, and what is the benefit of using this partition. Can i make it a default location for installing application and what other uses can I have of an SD-Ext partition.?
Do i need App2SD and Link2SD in order to use SD-ext partition for any purposes.?
If I take a backup again using nadriod would it place it on the SD-Ext partition or the left over space in the regular SD card partition. ?
Thanks a lot for reading and clearing up my confusion mentioned above.

how to use sd memory as internal memory(Xolo q800) in root?should i root my xolo q800

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39393136#post39393136 - the rooting method i presume to use.is it good or is there any other method??
Hi,
Myself Using XOLO Q800.
previously:
sdcard->sdcard0
sdcard1-> null
sdcard0-> internal memory
But When i inserted my sd card . It swapped the sdcard-> sdcard0
sdcard0->memrory card
sdcard1-> intenral memroy
so u just insert fresh memory card.
copy the entire internal memory (where past games sd-data stored) to fresh memory card.
change the installation preference to "system decide"
now Reboot.
So changing installation location will place the obb file on sd card....does this has any demerits??
Hello
I have a phone from China ( Tianji Q880 ) with Android OS 4.2.1
The phone has an internal memory in addition to that which is recognized as SD.
If I add an external SD will not let me install apps into that memory.
In the settings menu the recognized SD card is only SD0
In practice, the situation is this:
ROM system
internal
Media (SD0)
Ext SD Card (SD1)
I want to install apps in SD1.

Hi folks,
Got Xiaomi MI3 MT6589 with Internal storage 16 GB (no external SD card slot). Phone is rooted, USB debugging enabled & TWRP installed. I had previously backed up my stock ROM with MTK tools. Then I tested one MIUI based custom ROM which was not working. Then tried to move back to stock rom by SP flash tools with original backed files. Then there was the disaster- my backed up stock system.img was corrupted and cannot be used. Then I used system.img from another MT6589 rom which flashed successfully. Everything is working- I can install apps, play games (that is Internal data- data partition I guess) but I cannot access my internal SD card (SD card partition) which means I cannot store personal files or use apps which need internal SD card like file explorer, camera etc.
What I noticed from my scatter file is that my devices have only one "EBR1" file while the ROM zip from which I extract system.img, has two "EBR1" and "EBR2" files. Is that the reason, the internal SD card is not shown??............Though I couldnt find another working ROM zip with only one EBR1 file for the device.
Since i am rooted, I can replace/edit system files. Can anybody share idea which files do I have to manipulate/edit to make internal SD card show again. I read somewhere about editing vold.stab file inside system root. But i need proper guidance. Please help.. Thanks..

Thanks. But my problem is different. By installing custom rom's system.img, I cannot access my Internal SD card. . So I want to know which system files determines the size of "emulated SD" card, so that I can make adjustments.
My device has internal storage is 16 GB. May be system partition is using around 500 MB while data partition shows 6.5 G.B in apps>storage. So remaining 8 GB should be for user partition (SD card) which i need to access.
