Hi
Is there any direct API to get the path of an application stored in the storage card with out using SHGetSpecialFolderPath?
If no, then can anybody suggest me how to get the path with SHGetSpecialFolderPath API?
Thanks

Hi,
I am running FroYo on custom board developed for multimedia tablet. I am using sdcard as an external storage but I also want to use USB pen drive for external storage. Adding rules in vold.fstab, both sdcard and USB drives are being mounted but Gallery application only shows the contents of sdcard. This is because EXTERNAL_STORAGE is set to mount point of sdcard in init.rc file.
I fount from MountService.java code that Android doesn't support multiple volumes. But I came to know from internet that Samsung Galaxy is using two sdcards, one as an internal (not removable) and other as an external.
Anybody knows, hack to use both external media and get both detected by Gallery application?
Does anyone know, about vold.fstab and init.rc tweaking for Samsung Galaxy.
I am not even able to use internal storage? Do you know, how to enable internal storage? which configurations are required?
Thanks,
Ram
Hello Everyone,
I bought Samsung galaxy R (I 9103) some 10 days back. I am staying in India.I am trying to install application files directly to the external memory card but i am not able to find any option for that. The strange thing is that, the phone is using its 4gb (internal) usable memory as the SD card storage, so every time i use the option "Move to SD card" it simply moves the file to the phones USB storage. Also the memory card is shown as folder "External_SD" but no option for installing into that folder also. What i do every time is just copy the installation files from the usb storage to the memory card and use it. But this thing is also not working for every application. Can anyone provide any solution to this problem??
Thanks in Advance.....
1. Change /etc/vold.fstab file
you need ROOT access
change file in some other location with text editor or find one already fixed
replace existing file with root explorer or adb shell
reboot
2. Make a linux partition (ext4) on external SD - that could be used for link2sd or app2sd apps
and use google search - all answers already there

I think rooting the device will void the warranty and as i have bought this phone recently only so i am quite reluctant of doing that. Anyways thanks for your post...

Whenever I try to edit files stored in my microSD card using any of my android devices it seems to be impossible. I suppose this has to do with my card being read-only...I tried to format once but it didn't work...How can I change that?
Is Your device rooted?
If it is i would suggest Superuser app to change files permissions.
Maybe You will find solution in here:

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me finding a way of mounting /storage/usbdisk/ as sdcard.
I am using CyanogenMod 11 Nightly.
The problem is, the usb disk works almost ideally - Reads audio and video from it with no problem, but when I want to move
obb/data or other app data ( iGO navigation ) to it, it just doesn't read it.
I tried this solution
but I was wondering if it is possible to mount whole usbdisk as sd card, like the phones with SD Card slot do.
I tried mounting /storage/usbdisk/ to /storage/sdcard/ and /storage/sdcard1/ and /storage/emulated/1/
none of those helped.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly when you go in settings storage/ ad scroll down with your usb storage plugged in does it show the free space on that device n the storage settings? if yes
all you need is the pro version of foldermount
Apk is on playstore forum support/ user guide for it is just a xda search away
Im using it on the experience rom for the moto g x1032 8 gig sngle sim version.
ive so far tested asphalt 8 which is about 2 gigs of data once installed. I created a android folder on my usb storage and withing the android folder i created a data and a /obb folder
i then linked those folders.......youll get what im saying when you go to the foldermount thread here on xda.
Hey guys,
I've follow the tutorial for the sdcard. It's now recognize (i think). On the storage android says that i have 69.01 giga used on 128. But when i put some files it's goes only on the memory of my device. I don't undestand.
Can you help me guys ?
Thanks you by advance
With Android, SDCard = Internal storage
For your MicroSD card, it will be probably called a load of characters such as 82D8-2175
Or External
