Cm7 question

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone can give me some info about how the cm7 storage works in comparison with stock. I haven't ran and gotten an SD card yet for the phone and have just been relying on the internal. I was confused when I saw that I can't use anything because of the lack of one and how the gallery wont let me the see the pics that are now under mmt/emmc, which is where it looks like it pushed all my data to. I'm running eaglebloods 2.3.5 cm7 gb rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pictures which are stored to internal memory are viewable in the gallery. I'm not sure about other media files, but I'm pretty sure it should work normally.

The pictures were placed under additional storage as far as cm7 is concerned. They are from my last normal gb installs. Whenever I use gallery it says SD card unmounted or not present.

Yea well that's weird I'm using cm too and I can see everything in gallery too, u said ur using eb? Try cm mite be different kinda like how fauxs and cm were different, couldn't see internal in fauxs and his was based off cm, also did u try quickpic in the market? Highly recommended for ur situation u will be able to see all ur pics

Weird thing is is I can see internal sd card under storage and can navigate to via mnt /emmc but gallery wont pull from it. Won't let me use the camera until I install an external SD either. Says the same thing "SD card umounted or not present"

I also tried plain cm7 from cyanogen and it was the same way.... I have a feeling its supposed to work that way just I don't understand it so well

try this thread and see if it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144553 its pretty much a little guide to change the mount point to internal instead of external... I think they have external primarily cause most have SD cards that are class 6, which write a whole lot faster then internal memory.

Cyanogen and SD card

Hi. I just installed CM 7.1 on my G2x and for some reason it's not detecting the internal SD card. Is there some thing I need to do to fix this?

It's at /mnt/ennc
Weird place for it IMO, but I'm sure there's a way to change it.

Aha. So it is. Unfortunately apps like the gallery and camera are saying I have no SD card. Is there a way to mount it so it's detected properly?

Yes there is. CM7 has a setting for swapping the mount points of the internal and external sdcards. I am not running cm7 currently though and can't remember where the setting is. After you change the setting, reboot for everything to mount properly. Ask over in the cm7 thread where the setting is or hopefully someone else will comment here.

The other solution would be to get an external sdcard for your phone. In my opinion that's the better solution but it also costs money so ...

Thanks for the replies. For right now I restored the stock ROM. There were a few things I didn't like about CM but I'll probably flash it again when I have more free time to mess with it.

SD Card Super Slow

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.

Solution Found!!!
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

[Q] Swap

OK I Know swap i useless BUT i have my reasons so PLEASE DONT JUST ANSWER WITH "insert generic warning about swap being useless here". i have been trying for 3 days now to get swap to work but with no luck and in fact bricking my phone (i fixed it btw). I have used swapper 2 and have had no luck with that, either with a partition or with a file. i have tried a ton of bash commands in terminal, but with all just a fail notification. i have a swap partition on my sd card in the right setup of -fat32 13GB- -ext 2 256MB- -SWAP 1GB- all set to primary. im on CM7.2 stable and as far as i knew swap was enabled on the cm kernel. i could be wrong and that is why im here. any help would be awesome.

I don't know why swapper 2 wasn't working for you. I used to use it, more harm than good honestly, but SetCPU would show the changes and increased swap file size. I do recall I had trouble getting it started and used ESfile explorer to manually create a blank file with the name swapper2 used and than restarted swapper2 it went through successfully. Set it for set at boot and it was there every time.
Make sure you didn't accidentally deny it in your superuser logs.

Where did you put that file? I know I need to direct it to /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 before it was pointed to the internal memory so that is why it bricked.

Btw I have a 16 Gb class 10 card I got for $15 so I don't care if it dies fast. And it is a legit card, got it from staples.

the file was on root of my microsd card.

swap.swp is my extra swap file. it is in addition to the sysyems regular swap file. i think your trying to redo the entire swap file which caused crash imo. just do the expansion on ur microsd card.

I was trying to avoid the file seeing as the partition works better anyway but I suppose it would save me some time
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

well long story short it didnt work. tried the swap file thing and that didnt work. the partition didnt work with either cwr or gparted or mini tool. i just give up

I've had this issue before when I got into the whole thing for swap, what you might need to do is disable compcashe. It creates a swap file on its own and will over ride any other swaps in my experiences. By default it creates about 96mb in internal memory but if you can deal with that then I'd say stick with it cause its much faster than SD card. But try it see if it works. Then decide if you need more than 96mb.

Ext SD card read issue (32gb)

For some reason my phone is not taking the ext SD card as easy as it should. The card is relatively new and reads fine on my computer. On my phone however it sometimes says it has been unexpectedly removed. It picks it back up after a few seconds. There have been times it doesn't read the card at all and asks me to format it because of errors. I dont think there's anything wrong with my hardware. Possibly a ROM issue? Anyone have any clues or suggestions? Thanks

I've been having the same issue with the same size card. Also, when listening to music, and skipping through tracks using the volume up/down button (a mod on some ROMs, which I love...) the music player cuts out and says "Sorry, the media player does not support this type of file" when obviously it does, because it's played it a million times before. A reboot usually fixes it, but then there's a corrupted folder in the 'Music' folder on my extSDcard that looks like 'μEACTuih'. It's weird, but I know somebody out there knows how to fix this, could be changing the type of file system on the card I think, I'm just not sure how it's done...
Hopefully someone else reads this and can help!!
And oh yeah, I'm on Hyperdrive RLS15.

Damn.. Yeah.. Someone else suggested of could be the card but idk.. Works fine when it wants to

Try a different sdcard if it reads fine then might be the card
if running a 4.3 rom i read couple post of ppl that they have to format it
And if none of those work then it could be a hardware issue then Odin back to stock and replacement warranty
Good luck hope u fix the issue

I was going to ask how did you format your card? fat32 is the safest route for compatibility
