since the ns4g doesnt have a external sd card, can you still partition the internal sd card? if so can someone point in the direction of how to do it and what settings to set it at? and what are the benefits of it if there is. i am running the latest Miui rom as well. i do have cwm 3.1.0.1 , so any help will be great.
thank you

Hi All,
I searched the Xoom Q&A and could not find any thread on anyine having issues with their Wifi Xoom recognizing a Micro SD card. I cannot work out how to get it to recogixe it.
Anyone got any suggestions or experienced the same issue?
have you unlocked, rooted, or installed custom kernel? that is where you need to start. the tiamat kernel has support for SD card. make sure you read the threads very well about the tiamat or cybertronix kernels to understand the type of SD support they provide.
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013 for the kernel. look in the dev section of the xoom forums for a guide on how to root.
Thanks!
I have not rooted the Xoom yet, do i assume that the Micro SD card will nt work straight out of the box? (if so that is very frustrating!!!)

Yeah, unfortunately that's the case - there is no Micro SD support out of the box, but will be enabled "in a future Motorola update"... Of course, who knows when that will be.
I am only guessing, but I assume there will be a new kernel (tiamat?) supporting the SD card based on 3.1 relatively soon, but again that will take rooting, etc.
I got the xoom going into the fact that the Micro SD Card wasn't going to be working. I think (and I'm just guessing here) that Motorola is waiting until they released the 4G update before allowing for the Micro SD Card to work.
Now, if you root and install Tiamat then you'll need to make sure you have a sdcard2 in your /sdcard/ directory. You'll get a directory of /external/ which is where your Micro SD Card is located (at least, last time I checked anyways) and the SD Card does work with the Tiamat kernal.
Previously, i was on a 4.0 version of CWM, when i tried using that to use the CM7 ICS rom, it wouldn't consider the internal sd card as being able to be used as an external one as well.
Applications like the camera and beyondpod wouldn't work because it said it couldn't find the sd card. If i went over to the memory settings, or even in CWM, all my stuff was there on the internal sd card.
I really don't know what to do.
All the memory stuff would work fine before, i used Weapon G2x and on the new version of cwm, it doesn't think i have an sd card either.
Please be gentle and use newbie friendly terms, thank you very much.
Hi. I want to thank all of the developers for making my xoom still relevant and much better.
I do however need some serious help, as my xoom is pretty much useless at the moment. Yesterday, I flashed the alpha version of 4.2 from the xoom android development section on my everest xoom 3g. Since then, I have not been able to mount sd card. It appears on my laptop and in storage on the device.
I have flashed 3 different recvoeries in the hopes that one would mount my sd car, but all have failed. I just need to be to mount the sd card in order to flash a new rom.
I am not sure what the problem is.
I really hope someone can help me.
Hello.
this is my first time posting here but I need help. My SD card is not working with my galaxy s3. It knows its in there but I can't use it at all. When I go into my file directory to get to my main place were downloads/media and stuff is, this is my directory. /storage/emulated/0/ and all of my stuff is there. But I am out of space and I am a big gamer so that's why I have a 32 GB microsd. On the other hand, I used this same SD card for cm7 and cm10 encore (nook color) and it worked completely fine. Before I rooted and put in cm10 for my galaxy I formatted the SD card. I mean the phone knows its in there, because it says "available space: 29.72GB". And app2Sd does not work, as it says "not a real SD card or is being emulated" please Xda I need your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.
