Help Two SD Card issue.

I just recently upgraded from an Evo V to the Desire 601. So far I'm loving the phone, except for one major issue.

The phone's internal memory is listed as an SD Card instead of internal memory as it was on the Evo, which is causing problems.

The first is that the apps I used before no longer see the data on the micro sd I moved over. I imagine I can reconfigure all of them, but God that sounds like a pain.

The other is that large games, such as the GTAs, no longer seem to access the external card. that seems to severely limit the number of games I can install, since I can't use my 64gb card.

Is there a way around this? I know it seems unlikely, but can I "swap" the card numbers? Make my SD Card the main one and the internal memory SD2?

Thanks!
 
It's not a matter phones, it's a matter of Android version. It changed, I think, ICS.

You can point those apps that have the ability to save their data on the external card, but that's about it.

And once you update to Kit Kat, an app won't be able to write to another app's folder on the external card.

Ah, thanks, didn't realize it changed. ICS must not be the culprit, as the Evo V has it and doesn't show two SD cards. So maybe it's Jellybean.

And yeah, I heard about the KitKat "issue" and will probably hold off on the update unless someone finds a solution, since I'm a heavy SD card user.

Thanks for the info!
