Hi all
Just wondering if anyone knows whether external storage I.e. USB drives, sdcards etc are working out of the box with the jellybean rom from Team EOS? I haven't been able to use any external storage after upgrading to the Team EOS ICS rom? Just get a message saying folder doesn't exist would you like to created it and then it fails anyway. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Internal SD is at /storage/sdcard0
External SD is at /storage/sdcard1
USB is at /storage/usb0
Hmm sometimes it doesn't mount so you have to restart the device. You usually should be able to mount via setting tab but it crashes on me all the time. =/

Hi,
I am running FroYo on custom board developed for multimedia tablet. I am using sdcard as an external storage but I also want to use USB pen drive for external storage. Adding rules in vold.fstab, both sdcard and USB drives are being mounted but Gallery application only shows the contents of sdcard. This is because EXTERNAL_STORAGE is set to mount point of sdcard in init.rc file.
I fount from MountService.java code that Android doesn't support multiple volumes. But I came to know from internet that Samsung Galaxy is using two sdcards, one as an internal (not removable) and other as an external.
Anybody knows, hack to use both external media and get both detected by Gallery application?
Does anyone know, about vold.fstab and init.rc tweaking for Samsung Galaxy.
I am not even able to use internal storage? Do you know, how to enable internal storage? which configurations are required?
Thanks,
Ram
I haven't been able to get my external hard drive (Samsung S2 750GB NTFS formatted) to mount since upgrading to Team EOS Wifi ICS ROM. I normally use USB Mass Storage Watcher app to mount the drive but although this is recognizing that I have the drive connected and it allows me to click mount it doesn't mount the drive and the option doesn't seem to acknowledge that's its mounted by changing to unmount. TBH I'm not even sure if the drive is already mounted as its location could have been moved in ICS, like the micro SD cards was. I've also tried selecting the USB mount option in Storage settings but this doesn't seem to work either, though it does cause the drive light to flash off and on when its selected. Also I've noticed in USB Mass storage watcher the drive location is listed as dev/block/sda but I've tried checking here and mint/usbotg with root explorer but have had no luck. BTW I'm on build 45 ATM.
Any help appreciated.
Download stick mount for the Nexus and see if that works for you!

This works for me too, on my ICS rooted Xoom. None of the others I could find, including 'mass storage watcher' did.
I managed to sort the problem by using USB Mass Storage Watcher to create a new folder for my drive, after that I could access it fine. Weirdly the drive would not show up before that and I am 100% certain I was checking the correct location.
First I have to say thank you to all the developers for making many great ROM. Second, I am not good with android .
I just upgrade to hellfire sandwich and seem like whenever i choose using"internal storage" the phone will auto gray out the external SD card (8gb). When i uncheck that option, i can use the external SD card again. But I want to use the left over internal storage 5gb too... not just 1.5gb internal storage.
Is there someway to re-partition the internal storage together? or allow the phone to recognize all the partitions?
Another question is I cannot use USB mass storage anymore, that option is grayed out too, And the only option is MTP which work really slow but a bit better than PTP. I need some help because Android commander cant recognize the device and the transfer sped is pretty slow.
You should be able to access the internal storage by navigating in the file explorer of your choice to the mnt/emmc/ directory. As for the mass storagw, I don't know the answer, but I had that problem too while I was on ICS.
The best option I have found is to use cwm to add and remove things through storage. It works all the time. Since on 2.3.3 mounts where sketchy and I've never been a fan of mtp on ics this is what I've always done.
Your transfer rates are due to your SD card class. The higher the class the higher the read/write speeds.
Ics went to using mtp and ptp instead of USB mass storage. Except there's a few roms that have hacked ums in and got it to work or claim too.

Yes i can do that too, so there is no way to allow the phone using both... I want to let the phone install apps to internal, and use external as media storage.

Thank you, because i saw the option there so i just wonder if there is a way to enable it... but if it not supposed to be there then there is no help.
If you go to ../etc/ using a file explorer, you may edit vold.fstab using a text editor and change manually your SD cards mount points (dev_mount emmc "folder location" for internal SD and dev_mount sdcard "folder location" for external SD)

Ok, well in your SD Card you shoud see either _Internal SD or _External SD when you go into CWM, installing a rom partitions you SD card normally using EXT4. You can navigate to both through mnt in file manager. Normally it'll load into external. You can go back to mnt and go into internal through there. Now, you may have to unmount and remount so you have access to it. If your using hellfire 1.7 you need the updated harsh kernel to access USB storage. In 1.6, however, you shouldn't have that problem.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me finding a way of mounting /storage/usbdisk/ as sdcard.
I am using CyanogenMod 11 Nightly.
The problem is, the usb disk works almost ideally - Reads audio and video from it with no problem, but when I want to move
obb/data or other app data ( iGO navigation ) to it, it just doesn't read it.
I tried this solution
but I was wondering if it is possible to mount whole usbdisk as sd card, like the phones with SD Card slot do.
I tried mounting /storage/usbdisk/ to /storage/sdcard/ and /storage/sdcard1/ and /storage/emulated/1/
none of those helped.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly when you go in settings storage/ ad scroll down with your usb storage plugged in does it show the free space on that device n the storage settings? if yes
all you need is the pro version of foldermount
Apk is on playstore forum support/ user guide for it is just a xda search away
Im using it on the experience rom for the moto g x1032 8 gig sngle sim version.
ive so far tested asphalt 8 which is about 2 gigs of data once installed. I created a android folder on my usb storage and withing the android folder i created a data and a /obb folder
i then linked those folders.......youll get what im saying when you go to the foldermount thread here on xda.
Hey, so i tried copying music to my phone from my computer, and it didn't work, as it said it can't write to the internal storage which is read only. I got the same result when trying to transfer files to my device via bluetooth or airdroid. The thing is, i can view and copy files from my internal storage onto my computer, but not the other way around. Now, apps like my camera say to "insert an sd card" and don't work, as it can't write to my storage.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or know how to solve it? Much appreciated!
