[L7]Help with external/internal storage issue!

hi,
i have a rooted LG P700 with CM10.1 and CWM,
my issue is all my apps and system use sdcard0 (wich is part of internal storage) as external, while sdcard1 is ignored, most of the apps don't have settings to change save file location. in a few days, the 2gb of internal storage is filled, and moving all files by hand is a pain.
is there any way to swap the two storage locations that works on the P700? there seem to be plenty solutions for samsung phones... none for LG though...
i've tried editing the vold.fstab like i've seen in some tutorials, but it only renders the external SD unreadable, restoring the vold.fstab brings it back...
i could really use some help with this, i just bought an 8gb SDcard, to find it's useless
i appreciate any bit of info you could throw at me!
bump please?
if 2gb are full only with games, i can suggest to use "Directory Bind" apk, but only for games, i don`t have any ideas for others apps
i have mostly apps installed, and the kind that create their own files, like the camera app, that needs to place the files somewhere. thank you for the reply!
please, someone!
are there any methods to do this? as i said everywhere on the internet there is no solution for the p700. modifying vold.fstab works on most devices, not mine though... can someone adapt this solution to the p700?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239289
i've attached the framework.jar file
i'm not good at all at scripting, tinkering, and i dont want to brick my phone. please!! i need your help!
:crying:
i don't believe no other L7 owner has this problem, or is annoyed by it...
may be we don't install lots if apps so that 2.3 gb is full,,,u guess if nothing has helped you,,,try titanium backup and move an app to sdcard

[Q] rooted MOJO: how to move apps to SD card

Hi all,
I successfully rooted my MOJO, but I still don't know how to move games to the SD card. I tried a few apps to achieve this, but none of them seems to work. What am I doing wrong? I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Are the apps giving you any message? App2SD will say something like "The device does not have real primary external storage, or the Primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device"
You might try this: http://karthikkn.wordpress.com/2013...ard-on-your-android-phone-without-rooting-it/

Are you sure your SD card is being read by the MOJO?
Format SD Card to FAT format.
Insert Card.
Go to settings, storage, mount sd card.

Yes, my SD card is mounted, I can access it by using a file explorer. However I am not able to move games.
@ExtremeRyno Yes, this is exactly what App2SD is saying. Thanks for the link, did you try it out? I don't think this is going to work on the mojo, since it is not possible to connect a USB cable and using ADB. Or am I wrong?
Is nobody here who successfully moved games to SD card? We have root now, so it should be easy, or not?
You can ADB in via network. Get the IP of the mojo from settings->status, then it's just "adb connect ipaddr" so you can try out the link instructions.
Root doesn't always equate to a completely open system. Some devices just don't work with moving apps to an SD card. My A700 doesn't allow it, and I'm rooted, but my NookColor does allow it. I've yet to get my cable delivered, so I can't attest to anything as of yet.
Maybe someone with MadCatz can give an explanation? I know it's an extremely important feature for a gaming console to have enough storage to handle more than ten or so big games at a time.

Found a new app today that seems to get around the problems the other apps have: FolderMount. It's free. I plan to try it out as soon as I root...Probably in the next couple days. If you get a chance before me, let us know how it works.

Also, I'm aware of the double post, but they're days apart and this needed a bump (for great justice, right?)

Tanks for the tip! I just tried out this app, but unfortunatly it doesn't work. Maybe it works for smaller games, because I was able to move the data to the SD card with it. But if you move big games with OBB data and then start the game, it doesn't find anymore its OBB data and downloads it again.
Also, you can't move back the data from the SD card. I just tried it out with NOVA 3 and I have to redownload the whole game now
It works now, yeehaaa :good:
For some reason, the MOJO needs to be rebooted after moving the OBB data to SD card
Summary:
1. Root the MOJO
2. Format your SD card as a primary partition using fat32
3. Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
4. Move OBB data of your games
5. reboot
Remark: If you want to move more than 2 apps/games, you will have to buy the pro version of this app.
Awesome! I tried it out on my tablet last night and moved around a couple games....But never more than two at a time. I had no idea that was actually a limitation, either..Just worked out that way. I'll have to buy the full version as soon as I root.
Excellent news.
Not working

I tried that folder mount and did move the folders,but the internal storage indicates the same as before and the obb data remains in the internal storage as apposed to moving completely to the external.Meaning i don't know why but it doesn't work?I too have rooted my m.o.j.o so it's not because of that either.

Okay try again but on a fresh start (on/off).
Maybe you had a process running in the back?
And remember to reboot it after moving.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748087 this works though just been clarified for games being moved.
Unless I am mistaken apps2sd and gl to sd, don't move the data file making them useless in the real world. and I've not looked into it for about 6 months or so, so something might have changed but filemount doesn't work correctly on android 4.2.2 and onwards.
And unfortunately its the same for directory bind (undoubtedly the best mount/binder ever on android) simply amazing application but again it don't like 4.2.2
Not tried directory bind on the mojo cause unless some things changed with it the last few months its not going to work. Also I don't fancy doing anything to the mojo until a Recovery's available and that ain't happening unfortuinately

[Q] vold.fstab - Swapping Internal / External SD Card(s)

Hey guys,
I haven't found any info on the forums about this yet. Does anyone know how to/or have a modified vold.fstab for the stock TouchWiz rom?
I have a general idea on what to do, but I'd rather not attempt this one by myself!
Thanks in advance - zmag

That's not what he's talking about. He wants to use his extSdCard as his internal storage. I used that on my s4 with a 64gb class 10 with awesome results
Hehe well you're correct thatsupnow, but I did consider Link2SD Pro - but I would rather edit the vold.fstab directly (and correctly)
There's also an app on the play store (free) called Root External 2 Internal SD, but it looks like it was made for the GS3 - again, would rather edit the source than install another app.
I am using NextAppSDFix at the moment, until I install Xposed and use the Xposed mod (which I suppose is no different than using the app)
But I havent seen any modded vold.fstab files for the GS5 yet, which honestly is surprising to me. I figured someone would've had one by now...
Maybe there's a rom that has this already? and can be used on the stock ND2 rom? Any input on the subject is greatly appreciated. Just wanna use my 64gb card instead of having 10gb.
Thanks in advance! - zmag
Yeah man development has been pretty slow. I wonder if the mod for the s4 could be manipulated to work on the s5?

You didn't search very far if you didn't run smack into at least half a dozen forum threads detailing various ways to swap the internal and external SD cards. Not to mention threads that explain at length how to edit vold.fstab. However, while vold.fstab maps sysfs devices to filesystem mount points, it isn't a good idea to edit it directly as an update would easily break your mod..
A better method is to swap the internal and external SD cards is to employ a script to remount the two storage locations. Then transpose them using the -bind switch. A script to do this can be found here.
.
Ok, well I meant in the S5 forums - I didn't know that the S4 scripts applied at all.
Sorry for the trouble... I'm coming from an HTC Evo 4G LTE, I'm still getting acquainted with Samsung's file system.
I don't plan on updating from ND2 any time soon. If I do, I usually try and make a nandroid backup first just in case anything breaks on me.
Thanks again for the help!
my samsung s5 is not detecting the microsd
please help.
i tried in other cells the microsd and its working, and with a root software i can see that the cell read the microsd, but i cant use ir and i need more space in my cell.

Anyway to Move OBB to SD Card? (rooted)

so i like games _ (us girls love to play during waiting traveling or just escaping the day2day stuff.
iv got the GS5 16G, Rooted with **CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f**.
so i found there was an awesome feature where one could format the SD as INTERNAL Storage.......... and then i learned that they REMOVED it on 6.0.1.
i also tried some apps like Root Essentials (to adopt the SD?... but then i saw that the storage section showed ONLY the 16G internal and the sd 16G i had were no where to found).
i tried Link2SD..... BUT THAT SCREWED UP BOTH INTERNAL & SD!!!!! _ (Flush stock again).
so i thought maybe some friends here would know of a good solution for this?
i would like to move .obb files to sd and still have the games working.
thank you.
[EDIT]
Found a Solution, a good one, Its called ROOT ESSENTIALS. look it up here on XDA _ (when using it, the most important thing is to do the MIGRATE DATA.)
Hi!
I was going to tell you to use Link2SD and I think this is the way to move obb files
What problem did you have with Link2SD?
There's an xposed module called "obb on sd" that works on lollipop. Not sure about marshmallow.
Thank you all.
i got it to work with awesome "Root Essentials".
Thank you.

How dd u move the obb to sd n still use the game
