I have finished a script that switches sdcard and TF-card by murphy666's method.
This script will edit file vold.fstab and will transfer installed apps and data to a new place.
It is works fine for any A10 tablets with Android 2.3.4 and 4.0.x (tested).
It is works fine (if it possible) for any device also. I hope
.
You can use TF-card with FAT and NTFS format. You can change TF-card in during works. Now You can install a lot of games with cache to one or two, three, four etc 32GB TF-card and change it for different games.
Please note, You will need clear /mnt/extsd manually after reboot your tablet.
Instalation: Just unzip "switch SDvUe.zip" то any folder and run "switch SDvUe.exe"
Works for any device with any Android version (if it possible, have not tested for all devices)
More accurate cancel changes for revert to original works (You can restore original works in any case)
Note: If script don't transfer all data from sdcard to TF-card, please copy it manually after reboot in File Manager. Copy all data from /mnt/extsd to /sdcard and reboot a tablet again.
P.S. It is SFX-arhive in the zip-file. You can open it by winrar and test by antivirus programm.
Sorry for my English.
I have finished script for Change sdcard and TF-card by morphy666 metod.
This script will replace file vold.fstab and will transfer installed apps and data to new place.
It is works fine for any A10 tablets with ICS.
You can use TF-card with FAT and NTFS format. You can change TF-card in during works. Now You can install a lot of games with cash to one or two, three, four etc 32GB TF-card and change it for different games.

Tempted to try this on my aurora but does my sd card have to be a certain class (like class 10) for it to work well and if i did it can it be reverted back?
Internal flash has speed approx. as class 4, so You can use any cards class 4 and more for better speed.
You can backup original vold.fstab. Unrar SFX-archive to any folder and replace the file (path system/etc/vold.fstab). Then run "change SD Eng.bat" for revert to original.
You can reflashe firmware without formating also for revert to original.
This worked the only thing is that i am having to move everything from my 8gb to my 32gb but now i can finally have more things, my 8gb was full before. thanks again.
Yes. Your tablet will work, but no data will storage in /sdcard. Your tablet will use internal 1 GB memory only, untill you will insert any TF-card. You can use new /mnt/extsd for pictures, movies and audio in any case.
Run the "change SD.exe" file but it show "try to connect" then "error : device not found". I have inserted a 16GB mirco SD class 4 card in the Aurora.
Seem like the script is not working for me.
Quick note about SD-Card Classes. A higher number does not always mean better. A Class 10 will beat a Class 4 in large reads or writes, like viewing or recording video, but a class 4 will outperform a class 10 in small, quick reads and writes. I'm not sure which is better for this particular application, just that some research and trial/error will be needed. Heres an article I found enlightening.
I don't know. I plan post new universal version the script in nearest time. You can try to use current version (reflashing firmware may be nessesary) or wait couple of days for new version.
funny...
2. 1 GB storage has internal structure and user can make wrong modification. So 1 GB partition has not access via computer.
---> thanks...look like 1GB stored important data /file for android
3. You need ask the question in xda-developers forum. I don't know.
---> i will search n ask there...or need to wait after use all 1GB partition...as currently i used 50% of the partition
Hello I have used this Script, but i have only my 16gb Class 10 as internal sd and the real internal SD cannot access, i dont see my internal storage. if i unplug the SD-Card i dont have SDspace. I have an Ainol Elf tablet with elvish rom
I don't tested the script for Ainol Elf with elvish rom. It is possible the ROM has different mount points in compare with original firmware. Try to restore (manually) vold.fstab from elvish rom and try to use new universal script.
i want to show something maybe this could be helping.
I have xoom with this at the setting.(using team eos latest roms)
you can see the internal storage is one and that is 32 GB
you can see the applicatian storage is 32 gb
you can see the running application use the 1 GB memory- something for android operating system
but for aurora i see 2 internal storage 1GB and the 8 gb.
and the application use the 1 gb to store the apps
that what making aurora cannot install alot of apps.
how can i change this
can i use your scripts?
EDIT: i already tried you script and it just switch the EXTSD with INTSD
nothing happing with the RAM.
try to install alot of apk into aurora and you will see what happen
i hope someone figure it out.(we are already running ICS and we still get not enough memory for application)
what the hell )
Yes, this work with ANY TF-card (microSD). You can use 2 GB TF-card also, but it is very small
. You can use 64 GB TF-card if your device can work with it.
You can use a lot of TF-cards with different capacity and replace it during works as You need.
Is it possible to modifiy the other partitions too?
So, for example, expand /data aka /dev/block/nande to more than 1G while shrinking the "internal SD" nandi?
or remove the internal sdcard at all to get a full 6GB internal storage?
i sucessfully changed partition sizes of my Ideos X3 but there's no mtd parameter in the boot.img of a Ainol...
Thank's alot for your great script
i use your change SDv4e.zip use 16GB external
for long time and its work really perfect on ICS 4.0.3 feiyu mod 4.0.3 (0329)
now i want to make update to the rom feiyu mod 4.0.3 (0429)
do i need to switch SDvUe before i do the update or its not need?

Means after I run the script, original internal SD card is useless/wrecked?
Or we have options having 2 SD-cards as storgae(w/ext-sd removable) simultaneousy?
hi there many thanks for this script
all went well apart from after the reboot a few apps have dissapeared and a few shortcuts say app not installed
is there anyway to solve this?
many thanks craig
sir,please help me after using yr switch sdvue script my sd card is nt recognizable and whn i again restore it through same script it recognises in my tablet using mass storage bt whn i format it or do anythng in it the effect doesnt take place plss help me restore my sd card plsss and plss reply ssonn thnks
I have not any ideas what happened with your SD-card. Try to format SD-card in computer, try to to use other card, try to flash original firmware to your tablet.
You can try to use the script, but I haven't Sony Ericsson W8 and don't know will script run or not. Please note the script switch internal card (/sdcard) and external TF-card, but not expand internal memory.
Don't afraid. The script make some checks before modification system file. It will not make any modification if impossible to switch the cards for your tablet. Also You can cancel the modification by start the script once more and choise Restore option.
Any case you can reflash original firmware.
