I tried doing the sd card fix but for some reason I can't partition the card while still in my phone...
What else can/should I do?

Seriously? Just browse, you don't even have to do a search, through the forums and find more out on what you can do while rooted, and if you are having problems with a specific topic, go find the thread for it and post there.

Now you can download third party apps by sideloading and you can also remove the at&t market restrictions. You can also use the app shootme, which can take a pic of your screen, similar to the iphone. Not sure what other apps require rooting.

Good Morning Team,
Has anyone had a problem when attempting to download apps on their GS4g after root? Sometimes, I would have to restart my phone several times before being able to install apps(From market or SD). Thanks in advance.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications, go to all applications, find market and delete the cache.

Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that and it still does not work.
Did you do anything with titanium backup when you switched roms? Or do anything with CWM?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
No. I'm using Odin to install the roms. Any other solutions?
I know this has to be a common problem. Whenever I click "ok" to download an app from the market, it says "Install", but it is greyed out. When I attempt to install an app from my sd, it just says "installing", but the app never installs..
So, I have figured out what went wrong just in case anyone comes across the same problem. It was my SD card. After reformatting my SD card, the downloads work perfectly.

Google is not helping me out here, searched the forum, and threads with similar titles with no luck.
Can anyone explain why TouchWiz does not like to run apps that are on your SD card? I've been replacing it with ADW, but I'd rather not so that I can get a good feel for the UI.
?? I have not run into this issue. Almost all my apps are installed in the SD card, and they run fine on TouchWiz. In fact, when I install an app from the market, it automatically installs on the SD card.

Hmm I'll take a screenshot and add it into the op, the apps show up fine, but they're greyed out and when press the icon it tells me that it's not installed on my phone.

You need to do a factory reset on the phone, then reinstall all of the apps and they won't disappear.

Hi. I just installed CM 7.1 on my G2x and for some reason it's not detecting the internal SD card. Is there some thing I need to do to fix this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It's at /mnt/ennc
Weird place for it IMO, but I'm sure there's a way to change it.
Aha. So it is. Unfortunately apps like the gallery and camera are saying I have no SD card. Is there a way to mount it so it's detected properly?

Yes there is. CM7 has a setting for swapping the mount points of the internal and external sdcards. I am not running cm7 currently though and can't remember where the setting is. After you change the setting, reboot for everything to mount properly. Ask over in the cm7 thread where the setting is or hopefully someone else will comment here.
The other solution would be to get an external sdcard for your phone. In my opinion that's the better solution but it also costs money so ...
Thanks for the replies. For right now I restored the stock ROM. There were a few things I didn't like about CM but I'll probably flash it again when I have more free time to mess with it.

Hello fellow DC owners. I have a question. When I reboot my phone, more often than not, the SD card is not read and thus all of the apps on the SD card are shown as not being installed. When this happens they are also missing from my market (except if they were purchased then it shows just that). The only fix for this that I've found is to remove the SD card reboot without it then reinstall it and reboot again. The unmount SD card option in the settings doesn't work at all. It hangs up. I have tried all of the repitable SD mounting Widgets I can find to no avail. For my launcher I am using GO Launcher and I love it.
If there is any help you can give I'd appreciate it.
I am unrooted and using the GO Launcher.

never heard of this happening before... you may need to make copies of everything you have on there and format it then it should read it correctly, also does it read fine in your pc or another phone?
yes the SD card is good had it on motodroid before this checked it on pc also. This happened after EE4 build. Even tried reformat and factory reset to no avail. For several months I just moved all apparently to phone and used SD for photos and downloads. Bit ran low on memory which caused more problems.

That file will prolly fix it. Unfortunately you have to be rooted to flash it in cwm recovery. So short of trying another SD card temporarily, that's all i know to do
You should hit the thanks button for mefloump for finding and posting that file for you. Just a tip

Do NOT use kejar's SDCard Root Fix on Gingerbread, it will break USB Mass Storage Mode.
ok i have a samsung galaxy stellar / sch-1200 from verizon, cant find a forum on it so i figured this would be closest hopefully.....
it reads internal storage as "sdcard01" and i also have an 8gb external sd card. the phone itself does not have an option to move app 2 sd card in the application manager.
ive tried app's via the playstore and still no avail. app2sd and others..
my question is.. is there an option somewhere in the phone that i cannot seem to find or a way to get it to default save items/pics/mp3s/ect to the actual sd card??
ive looked all over to try to find out some similar problems and cant seem to find any info besides actually swapping the external to internal and vice versa using ADB.... i do not have this phone rooted and wont until warranty is up. if anyone could point me in the right direction or inform me on how to change the storage settings id really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.
Wrong phone and carrier... at least you got the Samsung part.

no not yet.. i will be rooting it in the next couple months but as of right now its not unforunately. its like the phone doesnt even recognize the sd card it in even though it is mounted and reads pictures and music that i manually put on there. but the application manager doesnt even have an option to "move to sd"
I don't know. Maybe it is mounting as read only. That is what happens on the xoom

shouldnt be.. i can move individual files that i have downloaded, its the weirdest things ive ever came across..
my og droid was rooted and my htc inspire, they both even before rooting had the option to move apps to the sd card. the phone has 2gbs of internal space so its not like its worse than the previous just blows my mind and i have no idea how i could maybe change it to having the external card being the primary storage. under Astro it says there are 2 sd cards... i know its thinking that the internal storage is the first/primary card. just dunno how to get it to switch over i guess..
thats the best way i can think to describe the situation..
For moving pics and music and such I would think a file browser like es file explorer or something would let you move from one storage to the other. I dunno that you would need root access for that. But apps are a different story.

yea the file parts im not real worried about. i am able to move them and everything.
i might be not able to really explain it the way im wanting to. its reading like there are 2 sd cards when there is only one in the phone. so the primary storage is to the internal (fake sd card) so it wont move apps to the sd card to free up internal space. thats my assumption anyway. so i thought there might be a way to change the primary storage but i havent found a way to. if that makes sense.
yeah there are external2internal swaps or whatever but I'm pretty sure you're gonna need root and custom recovery to do anything like that.
