This is my first ever rom outside of stock and after 2 hours using search and trying random stuff, I have to ask. Is there a way to set the mount point back to internal?

so now that we have a working sd card is there any way to change the save location of the browser and camera to the new working sd card?

is there anything special to get the SD slot working? Mine still doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Well, in my opinion, which may be wrong...and probably is.
The new sd mod mounts the actual sd as /sdcard2/.
The problem i see with this is all the apps are looking for /sdcard/.
Now I think the best way to handle it would be to symlink /sdcard/ and /sdcard2/ as one volume.
The problem with that is that the volume manager would probably freak the **** out when you take your sdcard out of the device.
I don't know though, maybe bigrush or whoever got it working has this thought out better than I would have - but I am a software developer, not a kernel developer. That **** hurts my head.
Right now, i don't have an extra SD card worth my time of putting in (biggest extra I have is 8 gigs).
The only point I really see in it at the moment is extra space available from a file manager.
I am not sure if media scanner has to be modified to include the new directory to pic up on pictures, movies, and audio.

Lol root your xoom and flash the new tiamat 1.3.0 kernel
oh, maybe ill just break down and root it... I didn't really see any point until now with the lack of roms out for this so far.
I have already flashed my xoom, with the original one button flash. The new version does not have a way like the original to just one button the kernel. Will I have to re-root everything and go from there or will it sense that I am already rooted and take me to changing the kernel to be able to use the sdcard?

if you use the newest one click method with tiamat 1.3.1 you will be wiping your xoom's data back to stock as well. which means you'll have to setup your xoom again and reinstall all your apps again.
if you want to just flash the newest kernel w/out wiping the data just follow the instructions on this page:

Phone is rooted on the stock rom running matr1x bfs kernal. Haven't had any issues till one day when taking a picture it prompted that I needed to mount storage. Storage does show up when in recovery and eventually mounts after rebooting a bunch of times. Been going on for a few weeks.

That seems to have been it, thanks
First off, I have never had a rom for this phone that works well for a long period of time. Every single one slows down eventually and will get random shut downs and other problems. This time, I decided to reflash it to a fresh start and put Valhalla Black edition on it. And I mean completely fresh. I backed up my few files, formatted the sd card, factory reset the phone, and flashed stock KD1 in Odin. Up until this point, everything had been going perfectly fine and the ROM installed just fine. At this point, I put Valhalla onto the sd card to flash and boot up into CWM. This is where I am lost. First, I go straight to "install zip from sd card" and almost get ready to install, but then remember to double check my mounts. Mounts good, but as soon as I select "install from sd card again", I get the error that the sd card can not be mounted. I restarted the recovery and tried to install, and I got all the way to selecting "yes" to install the ROM. But still, Error: can not mount sd card.
So basically I have figured out that I can navigate to the rom and attempt to install before I get the error, or I can just check my mounts and not even get past "install zip from sd card" before I get the error and have to restart the recovery. Could this just be the card's problem and I need a new one, or is it something else? I need help, I am completely lost at this point.
Thanks guys.
EDIT: I may want to add that this same sd card completely crapped out on me about a month ago and I had to reformat it to get it working again.
Also, does anyone else always have their roms slow down after awhile? I would say that the average time for one of my roms to start getting random restarts and constant app closings is about one months time.
Format it on the computer. Fat 32
If that doesn't work try using Panasonics SD card formatting utility.
If that doesn't work maybe try changing voodoo.
Okay I am finished cutting and pasting what I found regarding this issue using search.
Hope one of them helps. If not... utilize the search in the forum. It is pretty neat!
Edit: Wait... do you even have a Galaxy S 4G?

I formatted it in Fat32 with a 64kb allocation size last night during all the troubles. How would the Panasonics SD card utility change anything? Also, Im a little confused on what you mean by changing voodoo. Enabling/Disabling it?
Yes I have a Galaxy S 4G.
Try following the GB ext4 Starter Pack to potentially fix any problems.

Ok. Also, I have a question for you. I noticed that you are using your device on AT&T. Did you have constant notifications popping up about a Tmobile contacts backup or anything else? That is another thing that I need to find a way to get rid of.
I am on t-mobile. But I uninstalled t-mobile back up and use google. The Panasonic sd card format worked for somebody else. So did following the gb starter pack. There are a lot of posts regarding this issue. Different things have worked for different people.
System Toolbox is my preferred app to uninstall system apps like t-mobile back up.

Yup, just use the KJ6 Debloater, or whatever program, to remove the T-Mobile Contact Backups apk
Edit: I just uninstalled T-Mo Backup and Wifi Calling using the debloater right now

Thanks for all the replies! Ill attack the phone again in awhile and see what I can do.
I had this problem too after a failed restore sent my phone into a bootloap. When I odin'd a new kernel, it wouldn't mount, even though I had CWM. It wouldn't work until I odin'd a new rom. I used FB's starter pack and it fixed it perfectly.
Also, about the T-mobile contacts, it's annoying as hell because I don't have T-Mobile either. Once you load a KJ6 rom, use FB's debloater to get rid of T-Mobile contacts backup. You will notice a large amount of ram is freed up from deleting all of the t-mobile items.
Also, if you are starting from KD1 froyo, you need to follow FB's starter pack to make sure you get the proper gingerbread boot loaders on your phone.
Your SD card may be going bad, is there another one you can try?
I've had the same rom for months and haven't had issues or slowdowns. It might be caused by a specific app you are using. Though it may not be a bad idea to go into CWM every now and then and wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.
I need some help figuring out why when I plug in my One S via USB to my computer, I can transfer files from my phone to computer fine at a stable speed. But when I try it from my computer to phone the little pop up box shows calculating ..... Ever since I tried transferring the LeeDroid rom zip to my phone it started doing it, not blaming the rom. Its just when I noticed it happening. I've already formatted my SD memory and still continues with the same problem. Also when I ejected my phone the first time this happened it was not responding until I used the desktop task manager to close it. Shortly after this happened I plugged it in again, this time it was asking me to scan my SD card for fixes. Did so and still continues with the same problem. Does anyone have a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

I get really slow PC to phone speeds (1.6 MB/s), I think it's a kernel issue. I found that using the Multi Mount SD app to mount the SD card to the PC increased speeds to about 6-7 MB/sec.
Try downloading SD speed increase from market, see if that helps. Increase speed to 2048 and test

Tried all that and no luck. If I flash back to stock RUU will I have to reinstall CWM. Will that help? Currently the only way of accessing anything is through dropbox. Thanks for the tips anyways.

you are going to have slower write speeds than read, but not getting a pop up like that
i would first wipe all including system and reflash
and/or try another cable
do you not have a stock nandroid that you made right after rooting, if so--fastboot the the stock boot.img and restore
otherwise for an ruu, think you need to unlock bootloader before flashing it. there is a post on doing that.

I went ahead and donwloaded a ROM directly to my phone via mobile web. The ROM I was on before was Zero One S 3.0! I went ahead and flashed Black Dragon 4.5 and upload speeds are nearly 12mbps djsubtronic was probably right. I think there is an issue with that kernal. Thanks everyone for all your help!
I reinstalld my scard speed boost app that i used to use, with this rom my write speeds were slow
the app worked for me and back to 9-10mb write and 10-13+ read

Yeah thats weird, I tried sd booster set at 2048kb but still didnt work. Oh well, I'm just glad I didn't have to revert back to stock and start from scratch! Thanks.
it still wouldn't hurt to reflash rom at some point or wait for next version
hello lastnight i just finally installed 4.0.3 on my phone anyways i have a couple of question
when i try and make calls, calls go threw but i get the message unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped, so i cant end calls...
and the battery seems to be dropping quite quickly
single strength appears to be a lot harder to connect then 2.3.3 or 2.2.3
and in flashing roms i believe i messed up the internal storage and external SD storage sizes
inertial storage is now 5.44GB
external storage is now6.20GB
shouldn't i be closer to 16GB of space now just over 11.5GB?
Maybe you gotta bad download or something try a different kernel or re wiping everything and start fresh again also do you know if you are on the new baseband or not
