Hi Everyone,
I have a Micromax A310, i want to swap internal storage with SDcard.
I tried to find vold.fstab but its not there, even tried to find the option for the same in build.prop but all in vain.:crying::crying:
tho there are three FSTAB files in DEVICE,,
FSTAB, FSTAB.FAT.NAND,FSTAB.NAND
and all three files contains same info.. not sure which one is right to edit
so let me know if anyone really experimented or knows how to do that?

I hope im not out of line here
I have been looking everywhere to a solution and only find fixes for a different OS
or different directory..
I am a noob to scripting and intense terminal use, however I have rooted my Acer A500 and installed a custom ICS Rom (hoping it would fix this issue that also extist with honeycomb) I am looking either for a way to move apps to SD by scripting or otherwise..or make Google music save to my external SD. I realize the issue involved is that it names its internal storage as SD card as the psuedo name and the external is External_SD
I have tried some scripts on this issue specifically..
Mount - o bind sdcard2/music sdcard/Android/data/com.​google.Android.music found here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136192
this wont work even trying to replace the directory as External_SD...but like I said im a noob..
I hope someone else has some good ideas
I appreciate any help
Can anybody help me out here im very interested in learning
Seen as I can't ask in the actual Resurrection Remix thread cause of having to have a certain amount of posts, I ask here...
This is for RR 2.1
Has anyone figured out how to get /mnt/emmc to be mounted as /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
Have been trying, from different threads, to edit vold.fstab and build.prop to no avail. (only get bootloops)
(used root explorer as other file managers cause bootloops sometimes even for small edits)
So if anyone has gotten it to work with this rom could you show what and how to edit the files. It would be greatly appreciated.
Why do you want to mount your internal memory as your external memory?
I would like my actual 8GB sdcard to be mounted as /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
and the internal memory as /mnt/sdcard
Cause right now the 8GB is /mnt/emmc
and the internal memory is /mnt/sdcard
So I'm guessing from your post that its not supposed to be that way to begin with?
but either way it was like that in GB roms and it was so much more convenient to go to straight to the external_sd folder instead of going the extra step of going to mnt/emmc.
And some apps can not find files that are now in /mnt/emmc. So I have to put them on the internal memory.
It was faster to work with.

hey pal check this Multimount sdcard app from play store hope it might resolve ur issue
ps- the emmc / external sd issue is related to AOKP since in AOKP the EMMC folder is ware u find all ur external sdcard files and folders
But isnt that just for mounting sdcard on your PC while its still mounted (accessible) on your phone?
yea, but im wondering if there is a way to get it to actually mount in the "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd" path or anything. as long as its accessible via a folder in the sdcard.
It makes many things so much more convenient.

Thanks.
Just one more wondering thought. but is there a way to do it like the first link so it starts on reboot, without the need for extra programs (like editing a file or making a startup script)
If not, then its fine, I'll be happy with these.
Hi all, i'm kinda new to all this.
I have bought a cheap chinese phone that had a 4g rom. 512mb is mapped to data as p3 and p4 is mapped to internal storage which is 2g.
I have managed to work out how to delete partition4 and extend partition3 as they follow on from each other.
However how do I remove all links to it in the system as it still tries to mount it on boot even though it isn't there.
I have removed the line from vold.fstab and that just crashed the external and internal sdcards and the storage section inside the system settings.
Thanks.
Anyone please?!
Hello,
I took backup of vold.fstab on external sd card and then I follow instructions in one of the thread in this forum to swap internal storage with external storage for Micromax A177. Rooting, copying, rebooting - everything was fine. But after rebooting, it is not showing any storage device in File Manager - no phone storage, no internal card, no external sd card.
I don't know what was the wrong step.
But anyhow, I think I need my original vold.fstab file. Can anyone help me and provide that file for Micromax A177 model and its permission setting?
Thanks in advance
Amit
Hello,
I managed to get back my original vold.fstab file and restored in etc folder. Set permission as read-write for owner, read property for Group adn Other. No execute permission for anyone.
Are these settings right?
But still, I can't see any storage device on my smartphone - no external sd card, no internal sd card nothing.
Please guide.
Thanks

Bro. you have to delete the "vold.fstab' that you have earlier downloaded and copied in folder "etc' and then rename the "vold.fstab.bak' to "vold.fstab' to its earlier original name. And congrates its done reboot your device..
[Imp-your device should be rooted]
Recomend to use root explorer app
