Previously, i was on a 4.0 version of CWM, when i tried using that to use the CM7 ICS rom, it wouldn't consider the internal sd card as being able to be used as an external one as well.
Applications like the camera and beyondpod wouldn't work because it said it couldn't find the sd card. If i went over to the memory settings, or even in CWM, all my stuff was there on the internal sd card.
I really don't know what to do.
All the memory stuff would work fine before, i used Weapon G2x and on the new version of cwm, it doesn't think i have an sd card either.
Please be gentle and use newbie friendly terms, thank you very much.

Hey guys long time iphone user here finally switched to a andriod based phone and i absolutley love it!
I currently have Leedriod installed in my HTC Inspire 4g and i love it. But onlything i am trying to get working is the A2sd. If i am reading everything correctly this is so everything i download goes onto my SD not my storage on my phone, if this is true this is exactly what i want i dont want to pile crap onto my phone to make it slower.
I am having trouble Partition my micro sd card, i am going to the store tomorrow after work to get a microsd card reader so i can access it easier through my computer instead of plugging it into the phone.
Now i did the whole Partition on the rommanager but it didnt work i still only have 1 8gig area no 512 or anything else. Or did it work and i just dont see it?
I guess my question is What am i doing wrong. I partition my card through rommanger (after i installed leedriod and kernel) Then after i did partition through rommanager i booted into recovory and launched the A2sd Patch. And its still downloading market apps to my phone and not to storage.
Please help!
I believe you manually move over the apps from phone to sd card via the A2sd app. open the A2sd app and you can see which app can be moved to the sd
since the ns4g doesnt have a external sd card, can you still partition the internal sd card? if so can someone point in the direction of how to do it and what settings to set it at? and what are the benefits of it if there is. i am running the latest Miui rom as well. i do have cwm 3.1.0.1 , so any help will be great.
thank you
Hi, I have been messing with rooting and installing custom roms on my Droid Charge. I'm totally new to it and have been getting the hang of it, lots of wipes, reinstallations, etc. Unfortunately, it looks like my 32gb microSD card has been a casualty of all this. Since I had managed to install a custom rom on my Charge, my card cannot be read by any device, I've tried it in two computers and two Android phones. All are unable to format the card either, showing it in RAW format.
I believe when I was looking at some threads here, there was an issue with some of the roms maybe damaging the sd card, maybe forcing it to read-only mode? Is there a way I can definitively find out if my card is toast or I can still save it?
Thanks!
I don't have a solution but a question. Was the last rom you flashed a GB rom?
Charged up post!
No, all my roms and kernels have been 2.2 Froyo based.
Flash the SD card fix, not sure how since the SD card isn't working but I would attempt to flash a stock ee4 through Odin & actually use the SD card fix this time....
Also, you might want to consider using Titanium Backup to get all your apps saved to your SD card so you don't lose them from the wipe.

He said that he can't even format it in a separate reader, so changing out the software on his phone isn't going to fix anything.
To the OP: Honestly, it sounds like your card might be bad; it happens. I doubt that any software/ROM could have caused this since software can't physically damage hardware. One suggestion I can make is to try cleaning the contacts on the card; I recommend q-tips and isopropyl alcohol for that. If it still doesn't work and can't be formatted in your computers reader, you simply have a bad card. At that point, try calling VZW and hope they will replace it. They may insist on replacing your whole phone as well; I don't know. Or, you can use this as an excuse to get a faster (Class 4+) card.
Hi xda,
I just got myself a G2x (t-mobile) running stock rooted 2.3.3. I'm having one small issue, Storage. It seems that the phone detects the Internal storage(phone memory) as the primary SD card therefore limiting me to 5GB. And if it gets full it just warns me. It does not switch to the micro sd card.
What I want to know, is there a zip that I can flash to blank/disable the phone storage. I've tried about 6+ roms but the only one that seems to disable or have control over it is Cyanogenmoded roms or the ICS rom.
I would like to stay with the Stock rom that I have because of performance/bugs reasons. Also the camera works superb(smooth in low lighting) only on the Stock roms.
You might try Unmount in Settings, but it may go back when you reboot the phone.

Thanks, but it does not work. I decided to go with Eagles Blood ICS rom. Now my 16GB SD card is primary and the internal storage is disable. This rom is better than the other ISC rom I've tried.
I'm having similar problems with my phone. My SD card used to work, not it's unmountable. I'm not sure what happened, but it looks like it just died on me. I tried mounting it in Windows and through CWM.
Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.
