Change mounting of sd to external_sd

[DiSrUpTeR]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the mounting of the SDcard to the External SDcard instead of internal sd.
i have some apps that are not able to "browse" to the external SD, and internal is not large enough, to copy the data to (4.35 gig).

Device: ug802, finless rom 1.8 720P default kernel.

Thanks

Mark

I am feeling a bit stupid to anwser my own question.

Yes its possible to change the mounting of the sdcard to the external sd

to do this tou need to edit the vold.fstab in the /etc folder.

these two lines mount the sdcard and external_sd

dev_mount flash /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/mtdblock9
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0

just swap the fysical locations so they look like this:

dev_mount flash /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/mtdblock9

Save the file make sure the rights to read and write are still ok then reboot
in my case a 16 gig internal SDCARD.

in the attachment is a vold.fstab.txt already moddified file only rename it to vold.fstab

Thank you.
Now I can use my old hard desks and make them usefull, but I noticed that the gta 3 and max payen games didnt work from hard desk. They only work when I move them to ext-sd by the directory bind so I think like these games need faster data readings.
Other games work very well.

Thank you.

could be done on another device, is that I have a broken flash nand tablet.con
and would need, the same but for the tablet, as it could be, thanks

should be possible.
the fysical adres of the nand and sdcard will be diffrent.
but it stays the same

You may want to use /mnt/sdcard/external_sd instead of /mnt/external_sd. I mention this because some apps have problems with anything not under /sdcard and this allows you to access both without major issues.

Great tip thanks

You can do this with a pendrive? Has anyone tested it?

Change SDCARD to USB?

Thanks!

Surely easier to use Foldermount from play store right?
