Replace internal memory by SD card

[ingbrzy]

Replace file vold.fstab in the folder system /etc and set permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot your phone...

PS: You have to insert your SD card before...

Hi! This is my first post, and it won't be the last one. Does this "hack" mean that App2SD app is not needed?

Thanks in advance

hi,
its safe update with this fstab installed or we must use a backup fstab before update?

Anybody can help how can I revert back? After installing latest weekly build SD is the default phone storage.

I once saw an option like 'swap SD' in a touch recovery for Hongmi but currently I am on CWM recovery because with the other the backup was not working.
Anyway not sure if this does the right thing.

I cannot upload the original file as I am also on 3.11.29

But why do you want to revert?

hi, there is a way to install always all apps on phone storage (sd card) and not in the internal archive? because big apps like asphalt 8 can't install now

 

[Vivave]

I also want to go back. ingbrzy, Please upload the original file.

You mean to store them in your external sd card and not in the phone memory. If so by installing root browser app from play store, that is happening automatically.

This option is also available in cwm recovery in partition sd option
