[Q] Dead Internal SD, mounting phone storage to External SD card - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I bought a vibrant for 30dollars, so now I have two, should've known something was wrong with it. LOL
The Internal SD card is dead, it says Internal SD card broken, or wrong format.. SO i couldn't use the internal or external sd.
So I was messing around, altered the vold.fstab and vold.conf files to get the phone to use the external SD card as the Internal SD card, everything is good but I still have 0.00gb of phone storage so I am unable to install any applications.
Is there any way that I can change the phone storage to the External SD card?

app 2 sd should work .also did you try to format the internal sdcard

[Q] Android file system with SD vs no SD

I'm coming from a phone with very low internal memory to one with 16GB. My question is around all the app data and where it would go in a phone with 16gb internal memory and not SD card.
Reason I ask is I would love to have all my apps stored internally and use my SD card mostly for music/pics..
Would this work or will apps put data in the SD if one is present.
another question would be what would happen if I have no SD card for a while, then I introduce the SD card..
All the data would be kept on the internal storage, which would be seen as a internal memory stick. If you put a microSD card in then it will store some data on the SD card but you could move it back by going to settings>applications>manage applications>on sd card

[Q] Internal SD & External SD Problem

Good day guys and hope you can help me with this. Im running Miui 2.1.6 with Siyah kernel 3.3.1, my problem is my internal sd and external sd cards being swapped or thats how the system views it. whenever i try to move apps from phone to sd card whether via app manager or apps 2 sd it moves my apps to my external sd card which is annoying. im only using my external sd card for media and not for my apps. after moving those apps it creates a .android_secure folder on my external sd with .asec files on it. im assuming that this is a problem with how the phone identifies my internal & external sd cards, i tried removing my external sd card and again tried to move apps to sd card and it says it doesnt have enough space which is crazy because my sd card has 6GB free space on it.

External sd card memory read by internal sd

I'm on a custom rom of 4.0.4 and recently my internal sd card won't let me install/download anything. After investigating, I found out that 11gb of my external sd card is showing up in my internal sd, which itself is just 14 gb and that's why showing as maxed out. I can copy stuff into my external sd from internal sd but it doesn't matter. It's like am copying something in the same drive. Am thinking there's a fix to this. There has to be. I got a 64 gb external drive if that helps. Thanks.

Internal SD card not detected

Internal SD card not detected in rooted Micromax A116 flashed with stock rom 4.2.1 from 4.1.2. After swapping External SD as Internal SD by editing vold.fstab with ES file explorer. In settings>storage> it shows Phone storage/0.98Gb (RAM), External SD card 7.96Gb and the Internal SD card 1.77Gb. However Internal SD card is not selectable/detected . When I again switch back by re-eiditng back the same appears in reverse order i.e now External SD card is not selectable /detected. Help as most of the useful apps which cant be moved to Ext. SD are in the Internal SD but that hardly has any space.

My internal sd card is inaccessible, and possibly encrypted?

upgraded to marshmallow and had both the internal sd and external sd as one (using it as storage)
This turned out to be a bad item and the external sd failed (possibly due to too many reads and rights)
I noticed my internal sd card stopped being able to install apps. On further inspection in Root Explorer external sd card is a folder, but 'sdcard' almost looks like an inaccessible link/normal everyday file. Pressing it in REplorer says that it's not mounted. Yet it is the internal sd card...I can also see how much space its components are taking up under 'storage' in Android OS.
My question is how do I fix this? Most apps get installed to internal sd. I have read on XDA that sometimes kitkat would make inaccessible/encrypt the internal sd card, how do I diagnose this is my problem ,and if I find out it is,how do I fix it?
