Hello all,
i just got myself a G2x .. rooted it installed CWM and flashed Eaglesblood 2.3.4 on it ... the problem i am having is that even though the phone shows 5.xx GB of memory on the phone when i launch an application like the Camera or anything else that puts anything on SD card it does not find the memory and refuses to work. any ideas?
-Bilal
While i havent tried EB 2.3.4, it is based on CM7 so I'm assuming it handles the internal/external sdcards the same way as CM7. The internal sdcard is mounted at /mnt/emmc and the external sdcard is mounted at /sdcard. There is a way to switch them around by switching the mount points. Search around and you should find it. I'm at work right now and the search feature on this mobile app sucks so I can't look it up.
The other/easier solution is to buy an external memory card.

or might he be confusing Internal Storage/Internal memory with an external SD card?
When looking at the numbers, you see x amount of phone memory available and 5.x amount of internal SD storage available...coming to around 8g. I bet he's confusing this for an external SD card.
i dont have a SD card inserted right now ... this is my internal memory ... i understand that
does that change anything ?

The way I understand it is that the G2X comes with 8GB of internal memory, divided into 2 partitions, and an empty slot for an external sdcard. There is a 1.xxGB partition for system use, and a 5.xxGB partition for user files (music, photos, videos, etc). The stock ROM considers this 5GB partition as the /sdcard, and if you insert an actual external card it is mounted within the sdcard directory as ./_ExternalSD.
CM7 (and I'm guessing EB 2.3.4 does as well since its based on CM7) mounts that 5GB partition as /mnt/emmc and the actual external memory card gets mounted to /sdcard. So if you dont have an actual sdcard inserted into the phone then your then your apps that rely on an sdcard won't have one to use.
The 2 solutions are to: 1) change the mount points of the external sdcard and the 5GB partition, or 2) insert an external memory card.
or i came up with option no 3... revert back to stock froyo 2.2.2 and this problem goes away .. will stay on this till i have my SD Card

Lol yea or that. If you want a good rom that utilizes the memory the same way as stock, try Ultimate G2X 1.0. Its rock solid and fast and has a great theme.
will check it out .. thanks a lot bro ... you are awesome
I have rooted my Nook Color (Blue Dot) with Clockwork, and CM7 Nightly install from 11-16-2011. I installed all the OS data on the internal memory in the Nook. I have a 8GB SD (Class 10) card that that I used to do the root, but now when I try to mount the SD to use to install apps to it, I can only get 1GB as SD Card and the rest mounts as /mnt/emmc. I can't seem to get it to mount the whole card as SD. I have tried using a partition manager on a Windows and Linux machine to partition it, but that did not work. Is there something that I am doing wrong? I want to be able to use the whole card mounted since I use apps and a 512 MB Swap file. One thing that I thought it may be is when I rooted the Nook I used the the 1GB image of Clockwork 3.2.0.1 since I could not find a 8GB image. The only 8GB image I could find was of CWM 3.0.2.8. I don't think that that would be the problem though. You guys have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. MODS, you can move this to the Android Forum if needed.
nevermind misread your q

That is how CM roms mount the external SD cards.
So I won't be able to mount the card and run more than 1GB of apps from it? Or is there a way to mount it and run the apps from /mnt/emmc. Also, when I remove the SD card, the mount of the SD card at the top (the 1GB one) stays mounted...should it?

Yes the one that stays mounted is your internal storage system. If it only has a max of 1gb then that is all you can store on it. The only way to safely unmount the the internal storage is in recovery as it is not using it but it is not advised. You can find an app that will move apps to SD card and have some bigger apps on there but mind you widgets will not work if the app is on the SD card. Here is a screen shot of my device. The 1.3 gb is my phones on board storage and the 29.81 gb is my external 32 gb sd card.
Ok, thanks for the info. What app is that that you took a screen shot of, and off the top of your head, you know of any that will flip the apps to the SD card? If not I will research it, I am sure it can't be to hard to find one.

The app is android assistant and depending on your OS version apps2sd should work. I know never versions of the OS has the ability built in
Ok. I tried Link2SD, but it said it was moving it to the SD card, but it moved it to the 1GB mount not to the /mnt/emmc where I have the 7.5GB of free space. I will try the apps2SD and see if that works. Thanks a lot bud.

Ok, no worries. I will continue working on it. if I find anything out I will post back. Thanks for your help.
I figured it out...
If you have the "Use internal storage" checked under CyanogemMod Settings/Application CM7 will mount the SD card as mnt/emmc and create a 1GB partition and mount it as mnt/SDCard. If you un-check it and then reboot, the SD Card will be mounted as mnt/SDCard and the internal partition will be mnt/emmc, allowing you to use the whole SD Card for storing apps, while still being able to store the apps on the main internal partition. I am glad I figured that out, now I can load more apps, and use the swap file.
Hey guys, I thought this was a problem with MIUI, but it turns out that it's a base problem with CM10.
I come from v21e with "bernie's files", and i can't access my internal Storage anywhere, my external sd card sometimes only shows half of its contents, too.
Is there an easy way to fix this? I really like MIUI & CM10, but they're unusable without storage :s
thanks in advance,

Your internal sd card needs a format.
If you downgraded from ICS , it's a common problem.
Since i couldn't find the format internal sd option in cyanogen
You should downgrade to gingerbread again.
When in home , press menu button , go into settings , storage and sd card then Format internal sd card.
Then flash CM , your internal storage will work.
i had the same problem....re root your device by megatron it should work
Hi everyone ,seeing how my tablet slows down every time i install an app i bought myself and sd card class 10,16gb.
I just installed the freshest cm10 build now i want to set it up so that the apps automaticly install on the sdcard ,can u guys help me out )?
Tried the foldermount ,but it`s very confusing and uncofortable.
THX in advance
Bump ? PLEASE I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP
running speed of the apps in internal storage is always faster than the one in external sd card. 4.5G internal storage usually enough for app installation. If internal sd card is not enough, maybe you should swap internal sd card and external sd card. It's better.

Can you please tell how to swap? The vold.fstab method is no longer working.

I don't use CM with my 3113. For my Nook HD running either CM and JB 4.2.2 or JB 4.3 there is a script. If you look at the OP in this thread,

4. Swapping "sdcard" and "ext_sdcard" read this
"I have two zips attached below, one to install the swap feature and one to remove the feature. Just flash the one you want and on the next boot it will become effective.
I also now have a version for the official CM10.1/CM10.2 on emmc for the HD+ and HD."
Maybe this will point you in a direction to get the answer. I lack the knowledge and skills to experiment.
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 10
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:25 /mnt/sdcard
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media/0 /mnt/ext_sdcard
chmod 777 /mnt/ext_sdcard
exit
You'll have to watch the name and locations, ext_sdcard might be extSdCard for the Galaxy Tab 2.7. You should consider having a .zip to flash from recovery to overwrite the experimental script. You might try ScriptManager to test running the script.
After flashing a kitkat rom, my phone storage is not mounting. I tried to replace bin/vold, storage-list in framework-res, also vstab and vstab.nand in etc. But its of no use. I can see my partitions but storage is not mounting. It would be very grateful, if anyone helped me. I have a mt6592 device.
I am working on a similar problem with my device and I came across an interesting fact today. Kitkat has limited access to external storage (I am unclear if you were talking about internal "phone" or external "SD card"). There are workaround apps in the playstore for external storage issues, but I haven't gotten any of them to work. Hope this helps you to narrow down the issue at least, I'm sorry I couldn't help more
Actually its both about internal and external storage. Both of the Sd cards wont mount at all. Internal storage just shows the partitions. But in the file explorer it shows empty folder.
