internal storage vs SDcard - T-Mobile LG G2x

Why do some rom creators prefer excluding the extra 5 gigs of space from being used at all in favor of the sd card?
EagleBlood's would be my favorite if not for the installation mount pointing to the sd card. Is there a way to have both? The cm7 flash for this style reverts it, but makes it so I cannot connect via USB.

I had problems connecting to USB too. What I did was re-install LG Drivers and turn on USB debugging on the phone, then connected it and then I was able to connect to my PC again. Then after that, you can turn off USB debugging and connect to your computer normally.

[Q] How to change ROM without using USB Cable OR SD Card?

Hello there..
Previously i already rooted my phone HTC Desire. But after i change a few ROM's, have some error on progress. but i'm not sure what the actual problems. After that my phone can use BUT i cannot access my SD Card,i cannot use my camera/video,Bluetooth even when i plug my USB Cable,it NOT show DISK DRIVE for me to select. My question is, without access to SD Card and USB Cable, how to change my existing ROM's to another?..
*Hopefully the expert person can help me.
Please be advise.
Regards & Thank you Guys...

The simplest suggestion would be to remove the SD card from the phone and use a card reader to place a new ROM on it.
If this doesn't work for some reason, you can connect to your computer via Wifi and use ADB to push a new ROM onto the SD card. However, if your phone won't mount the SD card when you plug in the USB cable there is probably something wrong with the way it is communicating with the SD card.
An external card reader is your best bet.
Just to double check - can you access your SD card when you boot the phone in recovery mode?

Cannot access ext. sd card in gTab from windows via USB cable

I cannot access my external sd card that's in my gTab from windows via the USB cable. I seem to remember that when I first bought it , I could see both the internal and external storage when I connected the gTab to Windows via USB (when it still had stock ROM). Now I am running rooted VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b5.1.1 and when I connect it via USB to windows I can only see the internal storage (I couldn't see it when I tried cyanogenmod either). I can access both brom the gTab just fine and if I take out the ext. sd card, windows reads it just fine.
Any idea why and/or how to access both internal and external storage from windows when gTab is plugged in via USB to windows?
As far as I know you could never access the external sdcard from the computer by usb
I load things from my external SD to internal SD and visa versa using ghost commander. Not a super big deal just one extra step. At this point I almost forgot I had to do that to move files between them and my PC.
i use a app that mounts them both
The way I found to access my external sd card from my computer is to ftp into my gTab using filezilla on my computer and SwiFTP FTP Server (available free from Market) on my gTab. Here is another post that talks about how to access the ext. sd card remotely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869844

Thanks, I know some other people will want to try this app.
Not a great fit for me as I dislike the delays built into a lot of free apps.
I just plug a USB thumb drive into my PC, download the files onto that then plug it into my tablet and download from the USB drive onto the SDCARD. Easy like pie.
Works the other direction too!!!

[Q] SD card wont show using CWM

Hi
Flashed my Galaxy Note N7000 with STunner 4.2.2 JB rom on NX kernel and the SD card epic saga began.
The rom is awesome in every other aspect but this
A little background:
After flashing the above rom and kernel, the usb transfer speed is too low < 1mb/s (32 gigs class 10 card) so I searched and decided to try multi mount sd. This increased the transfer speed to normal but the phone would reboot midway of transfer. SO multimount sd failed didn't actually fix my problem. Next heard people telling me to transfer files in recovery (CWM):
1. The card mounts in recovery without any error (sdcard and usb storage tried both) but I cannot see it on my pc (Win 7 64 bit)
the card is formatted asd Fat 32 using windows and I have also tried sdformatter for windows (found this suggestion on the forum) but still it doesnt show up on windows ! Is it really that difficult to transfer files onto sdcard via USB ????
Any help on fixing this problem is highly appreciated. My aim is to transfer files via USB onto SD card at normal speed (10-15mbps) and not @ drop dead crawling speed (500kbps to 1mbps). Help people !!!!!!!

Are you finding your device in the device manager? Download the adb package and try to see if your device shows when using the command "adb devices"
It it shows up it is some driver issue.
Unplug the device, uninstall all usb-drivers you can find.
Reboot
and plug in the device again and hope it's working
I have also found out that it's a bit tricky to get working, but with just trial and error you will prevail!

Thanks for he reply mate!
Well here is what I have done and seems to be working finally for USB transfers:
Download and install multi mount SD
Connect USB and mount sd crads using android (Touch to copy files)
Safely remove the mount cards from windows
Unmount USB from android (touch to stop usb storage)
remount sd crads but use multi mount this time
And yes enable the option for the device to stay awake while charging
Thats it getting transfer rates of 20mbps without any problems since then

[Q] SD Card use in flashing

Hi,
I am planning to flash custom rom on my anroid. I have rooted my htc one x and s-off is also done. Most of the topics I am reading for flashing says to copy ROM zip file on SD card. How can I copy files to SD card when there is no slot for SD card?
Regards,
Vijay
When people refer to the sd card on this device they're talking about the virtual sd card (internal storage). You can connect it to the PC in a couple of ways:
-Connect via a usb cable while booted into Android, if you're on a Jellybean Sense ROM it should show up as a removable drive in Windows automatically. If you're on an ICS Sense ROM you'll need to select disc drive from the notification menu that pops up when you connect. If you're on an aosp ROM you'll need to select the same thing from the notification menu.
-The other way is to boot into TWRP recovery, connect via usb cable, select Mount from the TWRP home screen, then select Mount USB Storage. Now it should show up as a removable drive in Windows.

[How To] Enable Write to External SD Card

This app was written by Jrummy and states that it's for Kit Kat (he should probably update it as it still works). I've used it on every device I've owned since Kit Kat without a single issue. Just run the app and uninstall it when you're done (or don't but it's pointless after you've ran it). It's making a very simple (and reversible) change.
Root is required!

Does anyone know how to use your SD card as Mass Storage when you connect it to your computer?
Currently, to write to the phone from the computer, you have to use MTP. It's too slow though. I want to be able to access my external SD like a flash drive.
I have to eject my SD card from my phone and use a SD card adapter to connect it to my computer anytime I want to make any changes.
If I could mount SD card as Mass Storage while phone is connected to computer via USB, that would make things a lot easier.

When I connect my Mate 7 to the computer, it gives me the option to mount it as a regular flash drive or as MTP.
So, I think it's possible through a software mod.
All,
I just picked up a new Pure, and already have it rooted, and while I have read/write, I can't get the dates to change to the creations date, instead, it has the copy date. Will I need a custom ROM to fix this bug???
(I use a backup program to put "MY" file on the SD, and it tries to use the date to see if there's a change, but can't because it can't change the date. I use to be able to do this with rooted devices.)
Def not working on mm
Any trick for Android 6.0.1? Can't find any working method..

Anyone with a custom ROM know if Writes and datestamp work correctly. (Not per Google)

There is no fix for Marshmallow other than using SD card as external storage?
I have my SD Card set up as portable on my 6.0 Pure, and BitTorrent Sync has issues writing to it. It works perfectly fine on my internal device storage, but starts encountering complete screwups on the SD Card. It did work when I had the SD Card formatted as adoptable, internal storage though.

Yep Xposed runs on this ROM, it's a great one. For those here for the original thread, I contacted support and sent them my logs and they were able to solve the problem in the next app update.
I'm getting about 5h SOT with moderate-heavy usage after 24h off the charger and a lot of music (Viper too) playing with the screen off. I have a solid amount of wakelocks disabled too, so that adds to it. Still think I should be able to push out some more.
