CM9 question

I'm having this issue where everything that's on my SD card is doubled sometimes tripled. So I have triple of the same pic/song/video. My question is will doing a factory reset on CM9 erase anything on the rom? I know it will clear all my data and apps but will I still have root and the same version of CM9? Noob question I know.

And if you have any reason why my ex SD card is doubling I would love to know why. Thanks guys

I have that too, but only for ringtones and notifications. Not sure why. Drives me nuts.

Yeah I have over 1000 mp3 and now I have 2300 and the ones that are copies don't even play!!

yeah i used to have this problem but only on skyics. not really sure why...
anyways you can go to settings > apps > then media storage and just clear the data in there.
the duplicates came back when i did it but not for a couple days. hope this temp fix helps =D

Hmm, are they duplicating on the actual sd card? Or on the internal sd card/internal memory?
Edit: and to answer your question. You'll be fine with a factory reset. CM9 will be fine and you should not lose root.

For me, I believe they're only duplicated in the notification/ringtone dialogues. I haven't actually looked on the SD to see. Last time I looked, I think I had 5 separate instances of the Facebook Pop notification, for example, and 3 each of the ringtone and 2 notification tones I created.

Interesting I checked mine, and I am not doubled on anything. Maybe pop into root explorer and check? It would be interesting to see what you find...

I did find 2 instances of the Facebook Pop (both in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications and in /emmc/media/audio/notifications), but only 1 instance of my created ringtones.
I need to go through and clean up my internal and external memory, I just don't know what to delete.

I have the same exact problem and im on cm10.....wonder if its a bug in cyanogenmod??? Clearing the media storage data as mentioned works but only for a day or two.....only happens with my ext sd card too.....also formatted my sd card and tried a different one as well and got the same results

I'm using Solid Explorer and I am not getting any duplicates at all.

They are duplicating on my internal. I removed external and deleted the pics. But I can delete songs on apolo for some reason. And I can find the duplicates on my explorer. So annoying

I had a thought on this...
CMx and AOKP recognize /emmc, /sdcard, as well as /mnt/emmc, /mnt/sdcard, /mnt/sdcard0 (external) and /mnt/sdcard1 (internal). Those extra recognitions might be contributing to the duplicates...

I have that issue too lol

I can confirm that I do not have this issue on aokp jb, it was only an issue for me on cm9.

if the rom you're using is also copied to the sd or internal storage and uncompressed , the system reads the true file and the one in the "spare" uncompressed rom on sd .. result is "ringtone"*2 or notification *2

Suggestion for New ICS Rom Dev

Hello all, now that ICS update is coming out for our little Blaze, I'm sure there will be lots of devs. I'm not sure how the Memory is setup on the ICS Rom, but the current GB on our Blaze has a very limited "Internal SD Memory" (Around 1.3gig, I believe) to install apps. Might I make a suggestion to the devs to include script manager tweaks in the upcoming ICS Roms so that default storage for apps be pointed to the "External SD" where we have more memory? Thanks!

Can't you do that in the market? if not you just go to manage apps and move them from there

Absolutely can be done via app from market and also manage apps. Apps2sd is in the market and worked well.

Apps in the market do not move data.that's what we want. Gta takes up one gig alone

I know what you guys are talking about. But what I meant is if I was to download a large game that is over 1.4 gigs, it wont have enough memory to save on the "Internal SD". What you mentioned only works if you already have the apps downloaded.

I used an app about a year ago called s2e . I can't be 100% sure but it moved app and data to external. I came from a G1 which had no internal memory . that phone was great but limited on space . if its not available there might be a similar app. good luck

I'll make sure it gets attention from the TFQ team. I can do it easily but I'd have to wipe both partitions to guarantee that no side effects happen.

I'd be happy with that. As it is easy to back them up via PC anyways. Plus with the move to ICS, I plan of completely starting form scratch and re-installing all apps from source, no backups short of the ones that are not available anymore.

Could DirectoryBind work?

When we get source, we can rewrite the package manager to point to sdcard instead of mmc then you won't have to worry about an app and/or doing it manually...

App to automatically move internal pictures to sd card

I have cm10 now and all pictures are stored to the phone. Is there an app that can automatically move the pictures over instead of me doing it every time? I would like to be able to select a folder and tell it to move all files to another folder everyday. I would think that this wouldn't be difficult since everything can move and sync with the cloud.
Thanks in advance.
And I want to move files not apps to sd card

So there isnt an app that can do this?

Is there a reason why you're not just setting the camera app to store your pictures on the SD card instead?
I haven't run cm10 yet, but all previous version of cm, had this as an option. So does stock TW.

I didn't see an option but still anything I download would go to phone storage. It can't be that hard to create an app that can automatically transfer files

Would be interesting to see something like this.

Maybe Tasker could do it?

Okay, please help this NOOB out.
I have the same problem. I am also running CM 10.0. I cannot find where the setting is to change the location that the stock camera app saves images to.
Can someone please spell it out for me?
Thanks for the help

I think on the liquid rom thread they posted (in the op) the modified camera that will do what you want.
Somewhere within the thread someone posted a link to one with working photosphere also. I use both.

Thanks, ill try to find that.
So in CM 10.0 with the stock camera app there is no way to store pics to the SD card?

[Q] Low memory - what can I do to clean up space?

My device memory is low. I got a low device memory error earlier and I want to clean it up. Any apps or folders I can delete? Any suggestions to clean up some of my device memory.
Thanks

Clean stuff of you internal and external sd card. Sounds like you should be safe so don't mess with any of the other folders. Just use your pc to clean those. If you don't know what it is you probably shouldn't touch it

Where is what located buddy? Your backups? If you made a backup using a recovery either CWM or TWRP , the backup you made is in the folder named after your recovery.

Low memroy or low storage space ? 2 hugely different issues !!!
In stock ICS or JB , the samsung app widget has an option to close apps and to clear RAM..
If low storage , connect to PC using USB and clear unused junk in your sd and external..

Storage problem?

Hi, I have not updated my phone in a while, I currently have cyanogenmod version (11-20140221-NIGHTLY-t769)(android version 4.4.2). I am planning on updating to newer versions of cm11 but I've had this one issue that has been bugging me for a while now. I think there is a problem with the storage on my phone. Whenever i try to download something it says "not enough space available". I am aware that some apps can not be moved to sd card but I am getting different reads when i check my phone storages. When i connect my phone to the computer it says (Internal storage 1.39 Gb totalsize, 920mb free) and (sdcard 7.38gb totalsize,2.78free) Is it normal to have 2 internal storages? I've been trying to resolve this issue for a while now but I do not know what the problem is. Below are some screenshots of what i am talking about:

Also, is it okay to delete the files listen from /clockworkmod?
Thanks in advance!!!

If you look at storage in cm the first one listed is where apps download and install. Clear app cache to make room.

Is there anyway of making it so that it downloads to sd card rather than internal
and is there anyway to force move apps to sdcard? Ive been trying link2sd but i heard there were problems with it. is it safe?

I think i really f**ked up. i downloaded Link2sd and moved one app. my phone experienced a lot of freezing so i uninstalled link2sd and downloaded app2sd. then i moved another app and now when i go into settings, the one app is on both my internal and sdcard???
For some reason it is reading my other internal storage as my sdcard meanwhile i have a sdcard with 7.38GB of free space. Please Help
