I bought a 32gb class 10 sdcard. How do I make it my default storage location for downloads? And in root explorer I have to go to /mnt to find the external sd. Is that normal?

Yes, it's normal - and stupid.
No way to change it easily that I know of. There is a way floating around here I think.

there us a thread on mounting external-sd as internal around on the s3, do a search
"in the brightest day, in the blackest night, no Apple shall escape Android's might"™
I found a threat about using apps to do it. But the apps is confusing.

How is the directory bind working? I am thinking about doing that because right now. I can't install anymore apps because I get insufficient space,
I'm still in the air about it honestly.

I just finished the USB mass storage mod. Play around with that for a little bit and see if I like it or not.

Hey guys, I have looked all over and cant find an answer...
I am running the most current (4/23) version of the cm9 rom, but i cant get my infuse to "recognize/or/find" my external 32gb sd card... it finds my internal 16 gb no problem, i have also swapped it out for my 16gb card and its still a no-go...
what do i have to do / change to get it to show up? im needing to get to my music because my daily drives of 14+ hours are getting a bit tedious...
if you could in full detail tell me where the file to edit is and what needs to be changed it would be awesome!
thanks in advance and if this has been posted i apologize i must have missed seeing it...
also running 4/23 built and it reads mine no problems,, bad flash?
I'm thinking its possably something to do with a lib file as both clicking on external SD and internal SD both go to the internal SD... using astro file manager I can see both fine... but not when I use a stock app... *shrug* I also can't afford to try and reinstall it as I'm no where near home for the next 5 days either and if I screw up I'm without a phone...

you can try flashing it over and see if that helps, this time use fix permission and it could also be a bad download, what i would do is re-download, go back to phone stock , and while you're there factory reset the phone( back up all your other data ) , flash kernels to get red cmw ( entropy DD ) and then flash latest cm9
I recently installed a 64gb. I had to go back to stock to get it recognized. Then when I reinstalled CM9, I found it under /mnt/emmc.

Go to the themes and apps forum - See Axiomkids mods and tweaks for this build. Go to number 5 in the OP. Although it says it won't recognize the external sd it does for my phone . I only have an 8 gb card, don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps. Edit- Here's the link. I used the1.1.4 version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375

seems to be finding the "external SD" folder but not the actual card...
Seems very odd to me cause both when i flashed back, googles' stock apps found it, and as well as the cm 7.2.0 release found the external sd card in the right spot.
Now flashing cm 9.0 (05/02/12) it finds the external sd folder on the internal sd, but still doesn't find the external sd...

thanks for that, i have just gone completely stock, then rooted, flashed cm7, now back to cm 9, and still nothing. yet cm7 and stock can find all the music n videos on my external sd fine with the native built-in music/video apps... once i install cm9 they don't "see" it or recognize it... tho when i go thru astro file manager i can see it just fine... *shrug*
Google Play Music did not find my songs despite following their instructions. Winamp & the music player did.
So did Album Art Grabber.

Did a clean install and wiped twice everything I could via cwm recovery... seems to be fine now - took me 3 hours to get back to a working stock... think my phone doesn't like the stock now after being on cm lol... anyways its working fine now... thanks to you guys on all your input... found it was a bad micro sd format when I formatted it (micro sd) from cm recovery the first time I installed cm9 on entropys first build... :banghead: shoulda thought of that earlier...

I am a semi noob. I have a lot of flashing pretty much down pat. I have a question about the external sdcard. I know that pictures and such will not save to it unless you convert it over. My question is instead of downloading mods and such to invert the two couldn't one just rename the two sdcards so that external sdcard becomes internal and vice versa? Just a thought and if not maybe someone could clarify what I need to do to make it happen.

you can change the default save location so pictures will save to ext. the only reason the card would need converted to fat32 is so cwm can see it.

Oh ok Im on Beans Touchwiz right now and the camera app has those options...couldnt remember if aosp camera did or not. One other thing you can try is reformatting the sd fat32 and moving the camera/dcim folder to external from internal sd.
If Paranoid Android is anything like CM10 you're stuck using the internal for now unless you find a camera app that will change it to external. Renaming the cards like that, if it would even work to fool the camera, would mess up everything else that uses the internal card.
I have been having similar issues. If I were you, I would flash to a different rom until they get the camera and sd card issues fixed. I love that rom also, but I can't even get wifi to work on it in hybrid mode. Give it a little while and I'm sure the devs will come up with a fix
Thanks guys for the speedy responses
Problem: I don't have an external SD card, and I want my phone to use the internal one.
When I used the EB rom (ics), I had to modify the last two lines of text in vold.fstab. Now I'm using Hackfests' JB (CM10)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866688
What do I do in order to switch from the external to the internal SD card?
Im taking a blind shot in ths dark based off of past cm usage. Is there a cyanogenmod settings section under settings? The option to choose would be under application. I can't friggin remember Atm. But i never bothered with CM10 since CM9 don't work right either!

I managed to figure it out, but thanks for the reply
For those who might potentially have the same problem:
use root explorer (or any other root access app) and navigate to etc, then vold.fstab
in the last two lines of text, change swap sdcard0 with sdcard1, then reboot your phone.

So this will mount the internal built in sd card? I'm running Hellfire 1.9 and I can't make a nandroid backup using cwm. I keep getting "can't mount /sdcard and when I go to mounts and storage menu and select mount /sdcard I get a "error mounting /sdcard!"
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.

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.

So I've been trying and trying to change MTP to a UMS all day, I've finally figured out how to get my SD card to change to UMS which is cool but I want my internal memory to show up as well. I need to back up my entire internal memory, I also don't have enough space to move everything over to my SD card.
Now, the reason why I don't want to use MTP is because it transfers way to slow and for some reason a lot of folders and files are not showing up when connected to my PC but I could see them fine on the phone with root explorer or something similar.
Any ideas on how to get all drives to work as UMS or get all my files to show up using MTP.
kinda getting fed up already researching it.
nevermind i just used FTP :-/
UMS on JB?
Hey Skeltergrave,
You managed to activate UMS on Jelly Bean? I thought it was not possible, could you share how you did it? I want to connect my phone to my stereo and it's just not possible without UMS!
Also did you did this on stock rom? Or some custom rom?
Thanks in advance!

Hey!
I did it on the stock Rom, but it only works for the SD Card. You could try it if you'd like. I'm not sure if it'll work for any other device then a PC but it's worth a shot. I followed this tutorial for the Atrix HD.
Since your not going to use it for your computer I don't think you'll have to follow the PC instructions.
