I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, after using my old Xperia for 2 years. I love the phone apart from one really annoying problem and that's the phone seems to be confused between its USB Storage and SD card.
The USB storage is 1.10 GB and seems to be the default partition for large app data that you have to download like maps for gps and game files for hd games, so it runs out very quickly.
It is located at /sdcard
I have a 32GB SD card, where I ideally want this application data to live so I can have more apps.
It is located at /sdcard/external_sd.
I tried editing vold.fstab to swap internal/external sds to no avail and had to restore the original.
Task Manager > Storage is showing my storage information correctly but apps such as App to SD are treating my USB storage like my SD card. When these apps download their additional data it goes to my USB storage. In the applications menu "On SD Card" displays apps on my USB storage.
I'm looking for either:

I'm looking for either:
- A way to move the apps and appdata from USB storage to my SD card. I know this can be done in a file manger but then the apps wont be able to find their data.
- A way for these apps to save additional data to my SD Card NOT my USB storage.
- A way to get the phone to realise my USB storage is NOT my SD Card.
- A way to completely disable USB storage and use my SD card as its primary storage function.
- A working vold.fstab modification for the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i8160
