I'm running EagleBlood 2.3.5, and is was wondering. Can you download anything without an external SD card? I have one, but some games won't work on the SD card. I tried searching, but I couldn't find anything to help. In other words, I want to put some games onto the internal SD, but it only gives me the option for Internal Memory or External SD.

Hey so I just decided to flash JI6 on my Captivate, and I noticed that my device wasn't showing any items on my SD Card. It sees my sd card, but doesn't see all the stuff thats on it. I've tried to unmount, reinstalling it, and restarting the device, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me? This is really annoying. I did make sure all my stuff was still on it by plugging it into my computer. I did a search for this before posting, and couldn't find anything about this happening. Thanks for any help.
I'm not an expert at flashing. But I seems to recall that you have to remove your SD card and SIM card before flashing ROM. Hopefully you removed the SD card before flashing...
Do you see both internal and external sd card? If you installed one of the i9000 based ROMs that have no SD card, you may only be seing your internal storage and not the external SD card at all.
2.2 changes the path to where the external SD card is stored. It is not the same as 2.1. I don't remember exactly, but 2.2 puts it under the /mnt directory and i don't think External is under internal anymore.
2.1 is /sdcard/sd for external
2.2 is /mnt/internal_sd (i think)

I think it should be ok. I have flashed ROMs like more than like 30 times so far, and I always had my external SD card sitting in there.

2.2 --> /sdcard/external_sd
2.2.1 --> /sdcard/external_sd
Some 9000 based ROMs have trouble with external sd. There are SD card fixes posted in those ROM threads itself. Apply them through CWM recovery console and you should be good.
I have attached one such sd card fix for 2.2.1 from "Doc's ROM JPY V6.1.3 CE" thread. If u r using a 2.2.1 based ROM, this could work for you.

Yes I did make sure to remove the SD Card before Flashing.

Thank you very much. That fixed it. Thanks so much.
i'm having the same problem with my sd mass storage.
did i miss something? what worked? could you direct me to instructions or a resource for step by step fix? thank you very much in advance
one other thing too; what's a ROM i keep hearing so many times
p.s. using stock unrooted captivate from rogers with 2.2 kernel 2.6.32.9 build froyo.uxjl1
Hello, first off im running CM7 nightly 164 & the trinity kernel OC.
like the title says, how do I repartition the internal SD card to use full amount of Internal card for install apps.
currently the G2x is setup like apps partition is 1.5gb, internal SD card is 5.5gb & my external SD is 14.7gb.
CM7 already fixed the issue with the phone using the external SD by default for game data files (gameloft), downloads, etc.
but Im still limited to how many apps I can install. I dont want to use crap like apps2sd or whatever to transfer the installed apps to internal SD card.
Im trying to set the phone up like......apps partition is 7gb internal & my external SD.
Ive already searched & this is all I really found pertaining to the same ?

I hope that made sense
Thanks
Good luck I tried too

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you
As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

Okay, so I am just tired of the confusion in my head here.
I'm not a noob with rooting or anything of the sort, but I am not used to a phone with an internal SD card and an external SD card.
I am downloading a ROM to flash to my Galaxy S3 and it saves to the SD card... does that mean that it is saving to the phones memory and not the actual SD card I put into it?
There is an SD Card and an external SD card.
Which one is which? Haha.
And if I am right, like I think I am... the external SD card is the actual SD card I put into it and the SD Card is the phones internal memory.
How can I download from the internet and have it save onto the external SD?
AND...
When backing up a ROM before flashing a new one, do you recommend that I back up to SD card or external SD card?
And do you recommend I flash a ROM from the SD card or from the external SD card?
It seems that IF my external SD card somehow decided to corrupt while I was running off of a ROM that was installed via external SD card, that it wouldn't be able to boot after it corrupted.
Am I correct on all of this?
Sorry. Your answers are more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have mine setup to download the roms, pictures, media or backups to the external sd card. In cwm I save a backup to both internal and external for the extra security. I just use external for everything because I have a 32gb sd card that has everything. The internal memory is just used for system stuff.

Perfect. That's absolutely everything I needed to know. I guess no matter what you download from the browser, it will download to the internal memory... but you can manually move it to the external SD with Root Browser.
Thank you man.

Go into the advanced settings option on your Browser and it gives you the option to have things downloaded to memory card or internal. Just change that to memory card and it will do it for you.

I've tried searching for info about this and can't seem to find anything specific. My question is can the S5 be altered so that the internal memory is just memory and not recognized as an SD card? Can it be forced to use the external SD card instead? Will this affect the pre-installed programs? I've had another phone that used the internal memory like this and had custom ROMs that "removed" the internal SD card. I'm not willing to install a custom ROM or recovery right now, but I do have root access.
I've used the edits from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/mod-how-to-add-init-d-write-to-external-t2814733
Even with these edits, certain apps(TubeMate for example) still recognize that you're running KitKat and won't allow writing to the external SD card.
I've tried using the app Mounts2SD to move app data to the external SD, but it doesn't recognize the second partition of the SD card(I've tried Ext4 and Fat32), so either there's a problem with the SD card partitioning or the init.d section of the program isn't working correctly. I've used this app with my previous phone and it seemed to work fine. I appreciate any help or suggestions on this.
