I am afraid I cannot help but I can explain why.

Most phones don't have much internal memory and mount their SD card onto the filesystem at /sdcard (technically it's /mnt/sdcard but you can't see that with most file managers). Our phone has lots (not enough for you sadly) so for the sake of backwards compatibility it mounts the internal confusingly named USB storage on /sdcard and the real SD card at /sdcard/external_sd.

App2sd expects to find the SD card at /sdcard rather than /sdcard/external_sd so it doesn't help.

My only suggestion is to examine what is taking up all the space on your USB storage and manually to move some of that data onto your real SD card. For example, if your music is stored on the USB storage, move it using a file manager onto the SD card and it will be found automatically. That will free up space on the USB storage.

You can install a custom ROM like Cognition v1.12 - it will let you choose the default install location.

Well I have a problem that my internal sd card was burnt(or some problem with conection) ,so some one fixed it like by changing connection and joining it to external (SO My external card is acting as internal) .And he limited my access to open and use .....so there is one folder i can use that is "emmc" .....I can install applications though but applications which need extra space such as MC3 cannot be installed it says no sd card inserted . I am running android 2.3.7 cyanogen 7.1 .Is there anyway i can use application directories as specific folder "emmc" for this game . I can install app is easily but it requires extra data..so how could I keep this data in emmc and play the app...sorry for my english
