- Â In vold.fstab , look for these lines
Code:dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc@fat /............ dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /................
- Change sdcard0 above to sdcard1 and sdcard1 below to sdcard0 (what you're doing is swapping them)
- Save vold.fstab then restart the phone
