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.

Can't Install From Market or Amazon App Strore

Over the past few days, I've been unable to install new apps or update existing ones from the Android Market or the Amazon App Store on my Samsung Infuse with a 32 GB MicroSD Card.
In the Android Market, it will usually say there is insufficient space to install or it will perpetually sit at "downloading" In the Amazon App Store, it will download the app but it will perpetually sit on INSTALLING and never complete.
I've done several reboots, sever cache clears, battery pulls, unmounting of the SD card and even booted without SD card and then back again. I've seen other fixes like moving apps off the SD card and back on and that is too troublesome.
Could it be the recent updates to the Android Market? If so, why would it affect the Amazon Appstore?

I removed the updates from the Market...same problem with both markets...so I tried a regular APK file..gets stuck with INSTALLING.
More than frustrating now...

What rom are you guys running?

Do a search, there's at least one fix here in the forum.

Clear Data on both apps

I've done that...I am starting to wonder if the data on the external SD is getting corrupt.

I just yanked my 32 GB card and tried a few installs on internal card and it works like a charm. Any suggestions on how to prevent memory card corruption? I didn't seem to have this problem on my Captivate with a 16GB microSD.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions...I believe it may be the 32GB MicroSD card as this is the third time this occurred and my wife's phone with a 16 doesn't seem to have this issue. I went back to a 16GB card and everything installs...for now...except for a larger program which says I have insufficient space to install.

[Q] ClockworkMod froze during back up?

Hi,
I'm trying to root my spyrocket using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 and during the back up it is frozen on "backing up system..". I know it said to be patient but its been over an hour and now I'm getting worried. Any suggestions?

Restart and try again. Backing up won't change anything about your system. It only "reads". Should be fine.
Edit: however...never never ever turn off your phone during "ANY" type of write or flash.

tried that
But it still keeps freezing up during the system backup? Is it the size of the sd card? Its 2GB

Have you tried mounting the internal sdcard before doing the back up?

yea Its mounted, it gives me the option to unmount it so i dont think thats the issue. Everytime I try to back it up it leaves files on the sd card so I know its transferring to the card. I might try formatting the card and see if that helps.

How much space do you have free? Or is it the 2gb with nothing else on it?

Ive had backups larger than 2gb.
But I've also never gotten touch clockwork to finish a backup. It freezes on me.

Are you sure it is not the known ".hidenandroidrogress" problem?
While doing backup either in system or data backup hangs forever

Backups take like 750mb. After you format a 2gb card, that's about half of it. Make sure its empty. Or better yet, backup to internal storage and transfer. Just don't backup to internal then format, that's no good.

I was finally able to complete the back up after I formatted the card. Not sure why that worked but I'm Rooted and all is good! Thanks everyone for your replies!

Weird....my thanks meter didn't go up

CWM ExtSDcard support?

Is there any way on the gs3 to save your nandroids to the ext SD card?
Mine shows the option greyed out.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

If you booted into CWM using the EZ Recovery app then you would notice that you can manually save backups to either sd card.

It might also be that you don't have your external card formatted to fat32. CWM doesn't like the exFat format that I believe all big cards come in.

If your talking about rom manager then yea thats normal!
On a side note, I recomend flashing files manually in CWM recovery...you would not believe how many threads I have helped folks get out of a softbrick or bootloop situation by flashing with rom manager. The app works great, but you still need to know the background information on what your flashing! To many people think since they can pull the file up on RM, it must be compatible, or they flash with the wrong recovery = soft brick! Part of the main reason my guide is written in its fashion...provides proper instructions to flash, makes one read a bit, and repeats its self to pound the info into ones head. Not tryin to preach to ya, just wanted to share some possibly useful info to yourself and others. thx

I was wondering the same about saving to external from rom manager. So our only option it looks like is to boot to recovery and manually go to save it to the external sd?

Yeah that's what I was saying. And I don't flash anything with room manager lol. Just bought it back when I had the OG droid and then I seen that option so I was just curious.

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
