(Froyo == old)

Oh, I know....   however, the phone has not died yet, and is still functional. When it finally gives up the ghost, I will upgrade, but not before.  I did not get the phone on a subsidy plan, so I can't just "upgrade it away".

The hardware for the phone isn't that bad: 1ghz hummingbird with 512mb memory, hardware keyboard. Though the gpu is not so hot. (PowerVR, IIRC. Blech.) Considering it is a froyo generation device, its not that bad for hardware. (It really should have gotten ICS, but the carrier decided I didn't need it, and instead needed a new phone. I don't feeling like upgrading.)

Being stuck with a 2.6.21 version kernel isn't the hottest thing around... I really would like to use zram swap with the system daemons I run in the linux jail... (I know dalkvik is braindead about swap. However, jailed linux daemons aren't so dumb.)

As for the issue wit switching to host mode;

He can be clever, and mount /sdcard with a tmpfs mount, then use mount -bind on top later.

I dunno it just seems to be alot of work than buying a tablet/phone with a sd slot (lots of the cheap ones got them), nowadays you would have to worry about phones with partitioned internal storage with the /data partition crammed into something tiny compared with the /system in the monstrous sized one. Much as i like linux partitions this one goes beyond stupid

Hrm, so simply plugging in my usb wont work  for that

Oh well... I can still use it to store my music and media. Not my ebooks though. I use those a lot.

PD: What about this app?

App2SD
Move/batch move apps from phone to SD card or from SD card to phone (Android 2.2 or later, some Android4.x ROM has disabled such function, so the app2sd function may not work in such case!),

I do not recommend this, this breaks the Google EULA.

Every thing breaks the EULA. Unless you live in a cave or a split-log house you will be required to agree to EULAs and a normal user will immediately break them. They're like a bad joke at a lawyer convention.
