[Tutorial] Alternative to Folder Mount (extend your internal memory) - Xperia SP General

Hello guys here another method to extend the Xperia SP internal memory and enjoy all heavy games you want. With this you will mount the /sdcard/Android folder in external memory.
What you need:
1. ROOT
2. init.d support
- UB: kernel with this feature.
- LB: You can use Universal Init.d
3. External SDCARD I have a 32GB class 10 and works like a charm.
Steps:
1. Run "Universal init.d" application and enable init.d
1. Create "/sdcard1/Android" folder
2. Copy or move the content from /sdcard/Android to /sdcard1/Android
3. Create or copy the following script into /etc/init.d/mnt_android:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#script to mount /sdcard/Android in external sdcard
sleep 10
mount -o bind /sdcard1/Android /sdcard/Android
df > /sdcard1/mnt_android.log
4. Set 777 permission to the script file.
5. Reboot and enjoy.
6. Press thanks button.

On the step 3 I was in doubt, says create or copy the script, if I choose to create in what format should I save?

can i mount another one
can i mount another folder with the same steps
many thanks

no format needed just create the file in plain text and save it with the name "mnt_android" in "/etc/init.d/" folder.

Jucares with your will we have to cut and paste from the internal android folder to the sd card every time we install and app/game?

The cut and paste only will be necessary the first time you used this script after that the external data of new apps/games will be installed in the mounted folder (sdcard).

guess it wont work for apps/games installed from other than play store....i tried and games wont run!!

It's work for me, all games is playable...:thumbup:

hey bro. universal init.d, I say this: your kernel does not have init.d support, keep doing the following and step 3: 3. Create or copy the Following script into / etc / init.d / mnt_android: I do not understand if it's not in the system folder or outside the system. excuse the question but I really want to do this. I'm on stock 254 BL root and cwm. and my card is sandisk 32gb ultra HC1

Turn on auto execution tab at top of universal init.d app
Make sure you created the script and copied it to the unit.d folder. Permissionneeds to be set to rw-r-r

Solved (Swap the internal storage with external)
Guy's Guy's Guy's This is an easy and quik and stable method to swap your internal memory with the external big one for our Xpeia SP :laugh:

Only works on 4.2.1 Roms..... Xperia sp is still stuck on 4.1.2

Im getting this phone soon and need to know if moving apps to SD will be possible after 4.3 update?

Me too, I want to know if this method would still work after 4.3 update.

On Android 4.4.2 (cm 11.0) it works like a charm using FolderMount app. So you should not be anxious as far as you root the phone. You will find a way despite not the one described in this post.

Jelly Bean + Recompiled kernel - Internal memory symlink missing

Hi all,
I'm using Jelly Bean ROM on my i9100 with custom kernel.
Problem is that many apps are looking for internal memory using the path "/mnt/sdcard" (like address book export function, whatsapp for downloaded images, etc.), that should be a symbolic link to folder "/storage/sdcard0", new mount point of internal memory in JB.
I've tried SiyahKernel v4.0.1 and 4.1beta6, Dream-IRC 2.7.0 (I cannot try Dorimanx 5.65.1 cause it generates a boot loop with RootBox ROM) and all of them suffer same problem.
I've found that some init scripts (for example "fota.rc" or "init.goldfish.rc") are creating the folder "/mnt/sdcard" earlier than right init script could create symbolic link: those scripts cannot be changed cause they are part of initramfs, so kernel recompilation is needed.
I hope this thread could help kernel experts to solve problem.
Bye.

Hi MarioFan1998,
I've posted here cause problem is related to custom kernel recompilation, so I've thought that "Android development" was the right section: if it is not, I'll move thread to general forum, let me know.
Thank you.

New kernels also affected...
I can confirm that also Dorimanx 5.65.1 kernel suffers same problem.
Now I've installed new Resurrection Remix 3.0.4 + Dorimanx 5.65.1 kernel and "/mnt/sdcard" is always an empty folder and not a symlink to "/storage/sdcard0" as it should be.
We need kernel Experts help!
Okay in the mean time try this I have used RemountSD app but edited the
directories likes so:
Original external SD location: /storage/sdcard0
Target external SD location: /mnt/sdcard
Now go to /mnt/sdcard you should now see your internal sdcard.
Note: the external SD location I actually put the directories of the internal SD card instead
so the internal SD will be mounted instead of external.
Press thanks if it works! Use this as a temporary solution!
EDIT: Noticed that after reboot it stops working. Recommend you remount on every boot for now.

Thank you,
I've realized a different solution, an init.d script that, if folder /mnt/sdcard is empty, removes it at boot time and creates appropriate symlink.
I attach file to this post, it must be copied (extracted script, not tar.gz archive) to /etc/init.d, then "chown root.shell 00fixmount", then "chmod 0755 00fixmount".
It works for me in RR3.0.4 + Dorimanx Kernel 5.65.1, use it at your own risk: obviously it's a temporary workaround, until kernel developers will fix it in boot image.

You know what you guys could do? Learn to decompile a kernel and modify initramfs yourselves! It's fun to learn.

I took the Init script from this thread and then installed ics binder from the market, configured binding from /mnt/extSdCard to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd and it did the trick, however, titanium wouldn't restore anything on sd, only on "system default"
Another thing is i don't see how jb more smooth than ics, feels the same to me and as i lose some settings for jb that i had on ics, I'm back to ics for now.

p-3113 Swap ExternalSDCard 2 Internal

Here's a script I modified originally its a script written by mattiadj so I gotta give him props
Here's his thread its for the Galaxy S III I think - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772234
This will make your external SDcard as Internal and your Internal SDCard external
It mounts data/media to your extSdcard
Please make a backup before you do this, just in case.
Let me know if you have any problems
1. Anyway.. you will need to place this script in your /data folder (Yes you need to be rooted)
2. Next use ES file manager and give it 777 permission (For the non-linux users, that's full permission on it, Read, write, execute for just user)
-----------------to do this with ES file manager just press and hold down on the file and look at its properties. At the bottom you can see Permissions, hit the Change button and check-mark everything for user
3. Use Smamager (Download it if you dont have it, ... .its free) and goto the script file and open as script/execute, then when it opens choose "Is executable" and then click "Su" & "Boot". Click "Save".
4. Reboot and enjoy.
To go back to the normal setup just delete the script or open it back up in smanager and clear the SU & Boot options.
In order for some apps to function properly you will have to copy some folders from your old internal sdcard to your "New" one.
For example.. aptoide wouldnt work until the aptoide repos folder was copied over. If you want you can just copy over everything to be safe. I on the other hand just picked and chose what I needed

IMO, this is terrible advice. The script is probably getting run as root, and you're opening it up to be written by anyone. Imagine if malware edited the script? Think of what malware could do if it had root access...

So, after this what happens to the internal SdCard. Does it, or is it still being used, and if so for what...?
^ same ? and has anyone tested this and is it safe?
All this is is a modded script from mattiadj. It was written for the GS3, so I changed it to work on the 3113 tablet
Here is what it does quoted from mattiadj
My aim was to use the external sd as internal sd and the original internal sd ONLY for apps installation.
So now my 64gb external sd is used for all tasks which the internal sd was used and the original internal sd is only used for apps storage!! All extra files (resources, caches, etc etc) are stored in my external SD, which is now mounted as internal
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The original internal sdcard is mounted by default from the system as /data/media as well as /sdcard and mnt/sdcard
so with this script it puts data/media as extSDCard and /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard are mounted to the original external SDcard
you can still access the internal SDcard from data/media or /extSDCard or mnt/extSDcard
my code
Code:
sleep 5
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:25 /mnt/sdcard
sleep 5
mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/extSdCard
this can be easily modified to work on other systems.
Hope this helps,

Tried this out last night. For me it works only if run manually... After reboot, I get long "checking SD for errors" and when it actually mounts SD it gets mounted twice- as both internal sdcard and extSdCard.

I ran this with SCript Manager (Play Store) and it works great on my p3113. My External SD card was mounted as internal and my Internal Memory was mounted as ExternalSDcard. I am going to love having this script!
If your having problems with it mounting as your internal and external try unmounting/remounting your external card in settings under storage. Or if your skilled enough try changing the second sleep value in the script to a higher number like 10 that should fix it
Works famously. For the apps that have issues just clear data under settings and it seems to be golden.

It should. For example, I use Amazon MP3 and when I downloaded a song before they went to the internal card. Now they are stored on the external. The device reads your external as though it is the internal.

in script manager choose su and boot. If you follow the first post it will execute on boot. Or if you have a rom with init.d support place this script in your /etc/init.d folder, I dont have a rom with init.d support so I dont know if that would work but it should. If someone could test this and let me know I would appreciate it. Im not sure if you still have to set permissions to execute on it.
Well I've had problems downloading certain apps to SD it says insufficient memory delete 0mb of data so I actually will just manually use it haha

Anyway, I would like to know if this will work on Cyangenmod 9.0.0? Or will it only work on the stock rom. I have my old stock rom of 4.0.4 saved if I need to go back... because I will if this works.

If anyone wants to take a crack at it, here's the script that worked on the Galaxy S3 mini. I've tried switching around the addresses in /dev/block/vold with no success.
Might not be hard. I don't have a GS4 though.
Go to /system/etc in your favorite file explorer and open vold.fstab as text and post the contents in Pastebin and link here.

Hmm, it's different from previous devices like the Note 2 and GS3. No wonder the script doesn't work.
Could you look in /storage and see what folders are in there? And then do the same for /storage/extSdCard
If you're feeling brave, have root and have a custom recovery with working nandroid, you could try replacing this line (I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS):
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2/ /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc2/
with this:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc2/ /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2/
after you backup your ROM first.

No, but I'm going to try to tweak the script again in a day or two.
Okay, this is the error I'm getting with a modified script. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
The script itself, functional or otherwise, needs to be dropped in /data and you'll need to chmod it to 777.
Working on It also
I've been working on it as well. Samsung has heavily modified the vold.fstab file. They no longer use vold.fstab to mount the internal sdcard storage. We need to find where the file that contains their mounting of the internal sdcard is. We won't be able to swap until we find that file. I am looking.... I strongly recommend not using the script for the Galaxy S3. I compared the S3 vold.fstab and S4 vold.fstab and they are significantly different!
I would be VERY interested to know if or when a swap script is out..
I have had my SGS4 i9505 for 2 days.. And it is almost out of internal card space
Any updates on this one yet ?
@OP.: buddy, what i thought is you must do changes in Vold.fstab file first. I know after changing your mobile be lilbit unstable due to system setting & storage crashing. But then you can provide the logcat. Then we can check the same.
BTW, I have successfully swapped the memories of Galaxy R CM version. But if you could do the changes then I can help you out..

[Q] (Blefish 0516) How to forbid app created file/folder in ext-SD root directory ?

Thank Blefish first ,with your contribution to U8800 ,so we users can enjoy the Kitkat.
I have learned that Kitkat will forbid app create file/folder in ext-SD root directory,instead apps can only created their data in /Sdcad/Android.So my Sdcard directory will be tidy.
When I installed Blefish 0516 edition,I found the feature didn't work.
And I found in dir ./storage , ext-SD was mounted as Sdcard0 while the internal storage was mounted as Sdcard1.I think the irregular mounted sequence between ext-Sd and internal storage is the reason why the feature didn't work.
And I didn't found vold.fstab in ./system/etc , so I can't edit it to change the mount seq.
Dear Blefish guru,I am looking for your help~
Jellybean and forward use a different method now. They are not using vold.fstab anymore. Rather, /fstab.qcom is used (in our phone). It cannot be edited manually, a boot.img must be unpacked and repacked in order to do so.
Did you mention that apps can write to /sdcard/ but cannot write to /storage/sdcard0? This ROM does not enforce write permissions as KitKat does by default, so I am not quite sure.

Two days after installed 0516,many folders were created by apps in ext-SD root directory(./storage/sdcard0/),while only two folders were found in internal storage(./storage/sdcard1/).And it seems that the two folders were somthing like being created while using recovery or something like that,unlikely being created by apps.
Cause I am using another rom to find whether the seq between internal and ext-SD is normal,yet I found that in android 4.0.4 there is no ./storage,so I cannot know the seq between internal and ext-SD.

In my ROM external SD (/storage/sdcard0) is the primary storage. This means Android creates it's Pictures, Download, Music & other directories there automatically.
/storage/sdcard1 is just a storage, like USB OTG storage would be. It's not in use if sdcard0 is present (some apps can still write to it manually like Camera).
The /storage is another jb/kk feature. I did not go with the older direct mounting to /mnt/ because it's just deprecated. Mine is configured according to this (Nexus One with internal storage added manually): http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

Thanks for so detailed reply.
But I still don't understand how to enforce write permission.As a perfectionist , I really don't want to see so many folders created by third-party apps in my ext-SD.
If it is convenient for you,could you inform me the way to enable the write permission in your rom? :fingers-crossed:

mount folder from external sdcard in internal sdcard

hi,
some apps store there data on the internal sdcard without the possibility to change the folder. i'be tried the app foldermount and could mount some foldern from the external sdcard to the internal sdcard, so the apps don't know that there store there data on /storage/sdcard1. but how can i do this without an extra app? i now that i can start scripts after android start. so i've tried this in terminal emulator
Code:
mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/folder /storage/sdcard0/folder
but it doesn't work: "mount: Operation not permitted". how can i do this?
i use stock 4.4.2 (rooted)

I don't understand what 'bad option' mean.
I use Folder Mount for this purpose. It can move anything (per app obb/data)to external. Try it. if you like it... buy it (3 links max in free version)
Does require root though!
At the moment i use it too. but this is an extra app i have to install. Mounting with script should be the better way - but it doesnt work.
