How do I swap memory with Internal and External SD?

I would like to be able to swap my internal storage with my SD card so I can use my 8GB SD card for games. How would I change the vold.fstab file to swap?

This is the bottom of my vold.fstab file in /etc/system/vold.fstab

#dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0/external_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host
#LGE-UPDATE 20120903, fx1-fs-bsp@lge.com
dev_mount external_SD /storage/external_SD auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

Thanks, but I have seen that. I have tried switching it around, but my phone still mounts internal storage and SD card as normal. This is what I tried...

dev_mount external_SD /storage/external_SD auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host
#LGE-UPDATE 20120903, fx1-fs-bsp@lge.com
#dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0/external_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host
 
I was able to switch my default memory before mine was even rooted in the storage setting. It's why I'm switching back to the Premia from the F3.
 
did you have to enable anything to get the option under "storage" to show up? I do not have any option listed to swap the internal/external storage
 
Im thinKing of getting this phone but there's not enough storage if you are able to make the swap can you make a zip to flash via twrp when twrp comes out for this phone btw why isn't there any development for this phone yet? My phone has tons it's the virgin mobile galaxy victory the forums are always full of development and activity thanks for reading
