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.

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.
I am currently on cm10 8/31. I tryed the new build of remjb and after flashing my imternal storage wouldnt mount. It shows 0 bytes of 0 bytes in fx file and root explorer says it is not mounted. So i restored nandroid back to the cm10 and it was mounted. Oh well its ok, i like cm10...... I tryed to take a picture a couple days later and it says i have no storage.... Now my internal isnt mounted on cm10 either. Did full wipe and reinstalled and it still wont mount. In recovery it shows up fine......... I guess what im asking is can anyone give me a terminal command the mounts the internal storage. Its just frustrating as i cant take pictures and half of my apps wont function right since they have stuff saved in android/data on the sd card.
Ps. My external works fine and mounts and shows in fx file fine....

Look at this thread for answer. I think the external you are seeing is really internal. Real external might be /emmc.

I am sure its the internal not mounted because external is both emmc and sdcard1 while sdcard0 is internal. And my external is 32gb so that helps further prove its my internal just not mounting right.

Have you checked the Storage tab under the Settings to see if there is an option to mount it there?

Not a problem! I'm glad the solution was something easy. =D
It's often easy, especially when we do so much technical tweaking, to overlook the simple answers.
Don't feel bad about it. =P
exactly the same
Hey.
I have the exact same problem, but the "mount SD" in settings won't mount it. It just goes from "calculating" back to the "mount SD" button. Frustrating! It's been worked without problems till now and i haven't installed anything or changed anything!

No it wasn't. I just had to keep hitting mount USB in storage. But I switched to an old iPhone for a while then came back to this. Got the jellybean iemi issue and odined back to stock a couple times. That seemed to fix it. No longer have the issue. Weird.
PS I am in the latest Scott cm10 (11/04 with that kernel fix flashed 11/14 I think and latest gapps) fully went to stock and followed every step precisely. If you go back to stock be sure that when you get to the step where you flash an ICS ROM be sure to boot up the ICS rom once before wiping and flashing jellybean. Not doing that step messed up my iemi again haha xP had to Odin yet again.

Let's take aside the noobish method. What would be the mount command for sdcard0 mounting anyway? So much garbage on the forum, that this simple question is impossible to find a resolution for.
Ok well i've tried for hours now.. using Astro.. ES explorer and even the native my files application and i cant seem to move pictures from my phones storage to my EXT SD card... and something else i noticed.. is when i adjust my cameras settings to save to my external SD card it gives me an error as well but i can still read files off of it.. so whats wrong?
i'm running Clean rom 5.0
it worked before on Stock and Liquid smooth RC7 and RC8
no one? come on...
All I can say is try a clean install see if that fixes it, probably not that helpful but worth a shot.
You may want to backup everything to a computer in case this sd card fails on you. You should reformat the sd card (to Fat32) and see if this resolves your issue.

ok i have a samsung galaxy stellar / sch-1200 from verizon, cant find a forum on it so i figured this would be closest hopefully.....
it reads internal storage as "sdcard01" and i also have an 8gb external sd card. the phone itself does not have an option to move app 2 sd card in the application manager.
ive tried app's via the playstore and still no avail. app2sd and others..
my question is.. is there an option somewhere in the phone that i cannot seem to find or a way to get it to default save items/pics/mp3s/ect to the actual sd card??
ive looked all over to try to find out some similar problems and cant seem to find any info besides actually swapping the external to internal and vice versa using ADB.... i do not have this phone rooted and wont until warranty is up. if anyone could point me in the right direction or inform me on how to change the storage settings id really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.
Wrong phone and carrier... at least you got the Samsung part.
Edit: read the phone and posted. Sorry

Is it rooted? If so try Titanium Backup to move the apps

no not yet.. i will be rooting it in the next couple months but as of right now its not unforunately. its like the phone doesnt even recognize the sd card it in even though it is mounted and reads pictures and music that i manually put on there. but the application manager doesnt even have an option to "move to sd"
I don't know. Maybe it is mounting as read only. That is what happens on the xoom

shouldnt be.. i can move individual files that i have downloaded, its the weirdest things ive ever came across..
my og droid was rooted and my htc inspire, they both even before rooting had the option to move apps to the sd card. the phone has 2gbs of internal space so its not like its worse than the previous just blows my mind and i have no idea how i could maybe change it to having the external card being the primary storage. under Astro it says there are 2 sd cards... i know its thinking that the internal storage is the first/primary card. just dunno how to get it to switch over i guess..
thats the best way i can think to describe the situation..
For moving pics and music and such I would think a file browser like es file explorer or something would let you move from one storage to the other. I dunno that you would need root access for that. But apps are a different story.

yea the file parts im not real worried about. i am able to move them and everything.
i might be not able to really explain it the way im wanting to. its reading like there are 2 sd cards when there is only one in the phone. so the primary storage is to the internal (fake sd card) so it wont move apps to the sd card to free up internal space. thats my assumption anyway. so i thought there might be a way to change the primary storage but i havent found a way to. if that makes sense.
yeah there are external2internal swaps or whatever but I'm pretty sure you're gonna need root and custom recovery to do anything like that.

thats what i was afraid of.. thank you though for trying to help. if you or anyone come across a similar situation that has been solved please let me know.
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

+1
I was going to ask how did you format your card? fat32 is the safest route for compatibility
