I'm having this issue where everything that's on my SD card is doubled sometimes tripled. So I have triple of the same pic/song/video. My question is will doing a factory reset on CM9 erase anything on the rom? I know it will clear all my data and apps but will I still have root and the same version of CM9? Noob question I know.

And if you have any reason why my ex SD card is doubling I would love to know why. Thanks guys

I have that too, but only for ringtones and notifications. Not sure why. Drives me nuts.
Yeah I have over 1000 mp3 and now I have 2300 and the ones that are copies don't even play!!

yeah i used to have this problem but only on skyics. not really sure why...
anyways you can go to settings > apps > then media storage and just clear the data in there.
the duplicates came back when i did it but not for a couple days. hope this temp fix helps =D
Hmm, are they duplicating on the actual sd card? Or on the internal sd card/internal memory?
Edit: and to answer your question. You'll be fine with a factory reset. CM9 will be fine and you should not lose root.

For me, I believe they're only duplicated in the notification/ringtone dialogues. I haven't actually looked on the SD to see. Last time I looked, I think I had 5 separate instances of the Facebook Pop notification, for example, and 3 each of the ringtone and 2 notification tones I created.
Interesting I checked mine, and I am not doubled on anything. Maybe pop into root explorer and check? It would be interesting to see what you find...

I did find 2 instances of the Facebook Pop (both in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications and in /emmc/media/audio/notifications), but only 1 instance of my created ringtones.
I need to go through and clean up my internal and external memory, I just don't know what to delete.
I have the same exact problem and im on cm10.....wonder if its a bug in cyanogenmod??? Clearing the media storage data as mentioned works but only for a day or two.....only happens with my ext sd card too.....also formatted my sd card and tried a different one as well and got the same results

They are duplicating on my internal. I removed external and deleted the pics. But I can delete songs on apolo for some reason. And I can find the duplicates on my explorer. So annoying

I had a thought on this...
CMx and AOKP recognize /emmc, /sdcard, as well as /mnt/emmc, /mnt/sdcard, /mnt/sdcard0 (external) and /mnt/sdcard1 (internal). Those extra recognitions might be contributing to the duplicates...
I have that issue too lol

if the rom you're using is also copied to the sd or internal storage and uncompressed , the system reads the true file and the one in the "spare" uncompressed rom on sd .. result is "ringtone"*2 or notification *2

Hi,
using MIUI rom right now, and I noticed that copying data from PC to phone is slow as hell (200KiB/s). It was OK while using the stock HTC rom. However when I go to the recovery and mount sdcard, transfer speed is relatively good (4MiB/s-10MiB/s). Does anybody know if it is a ROM related problem, because nobody from MIUI has posted similar issue.
Thanks for any tip or advice.
What is the sd card cache size on miui? Stock htc rom it was limited to a poxy 128k! I use this app to bump it to 2048k.....

Most custom roms have had this tweak as standard for a while, and I've not heard of any issues with cooked SD cards. My class 6 SD card can be written to at 6MB/sec, so I shouldn't expect a cache of 2MB to push it too far. I've had the same 16GB card for 2 years on custom roms with this fix. No problems here.
I'd say make sure you don't have the cache any larger than your SD card class. For example, if you have a generic class 2 card, I'd perhaps only raise the cache to 1024k. That's still 8 times better than stock!
Use an app called "SD Tools" on the marketplace to run a 'before' and 'after' speed test.

No, it doesn't help. It's still the same.
I'm afraid that I can't remember where I've read this, but I believe that I've previously read somewhere in the forum that this is kernel related.
So possibly try stock kernel and try again.
Hi, I'm a bit noob on these issues, a few days ago my phone brickied, but I solved it, after that when I connect the phone to my laptop recognize the SD card like internal memory and storage of the phone recognizes it as the SD card ....
I also like that I recommend an unofficial ROM
without bugs and stable for my phone, if possible
having bootloader
I hope someone can help me

Not sure what you are asking sir, I have installed these, which means I have either tested or ran the ROMs in the Dev. as far as sd card issues, there is none, now for CM9, the mount is different than Gingerbread...EMMC which means: Embedded Multi Media Card, vice the GB "ext SD" label.

i have instaled a stock rom
GINGERBREAD.UCLB3 2.3.6
OK I was flashing the paranoid android ROM a few months back on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 and I lost half of my compacity I am the type of person who downloads watches lots of movies and listen to alot music I would really like to have it back. any suggestions on how to fix it please hey buddy help anyone okay
Have you been making nandroid back ups ? How much is under "Misc" ? Looks around 700mb ? ( but the yellow maker is covering it up ):laugh:
Looks to me you need to do some house keeping to tidy up the storage space, easy enough to do.
What recovery are you using on the device ?
you've got OVER 2 gigs of app data folders on the internal there, open your file browser and look for folders of apps you've deleted and delete them, also remember YOU HAVE A MICROSD SLOT, you can add more storage for music and movies.
do any of your streaming apps keep a large "buffer", could try clearing app data.

that doesnt explain why my 8gig tab 2 only has 4gigs usable
Its the system partition that eats up the rest, as far as I know. That is why only just under
5 gigs is available. The settings menu doesn't count the system partition as usable space.

That's just the way it is. Kind of like when you insert a 32gb micro sd card you automatically lose nearly 4gb down to 29.7gb.
If you've been making backups chances are the cwm folder has a nice size file well over 1gb

I don't think trays how it works when I frost got it I believe the system file was around .5 to 1 gig maybe
So I doubt I would lose 4 almost 5 gigs from it
And I have and 8 gig microSD card now but I would love that 4 gigs back thats 3 movies...
Also I deleted a bunch a system files that no one ever needs so I have more free space
but damn I need it all back

Rooting has basically nothing whatsoever to do with the problem. Why does everyone think that just cause u rooted ur phone/ tablet now becomes mentally retarded?
I would look around in the system files. I had the same problem, there was this file idk how the hell got there and was like 4 gigs. Just try to locate the file and delete it.

Pretty sure you can go to a folder browser then couldn't u sort all them by size by bigger sizes descending. So what i mean is the biggest files would show up on top. Then you could look around and see if one of the bigger files is not needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970961 here is another thread talking about pretty much the same thing. I agree with one of the posters, about just swapping the storage with the external sd card. I haven't personally had great luck with android 4.2.x, but there is a great script for p311x on xda that swaps them on ics and jb 4.1.x just fine. Its what I use, and also why im not running anything past 4.1.2.

Low memroy or low storage space ? 2 hugely different issues !!!
In stock ICS or JB , the samsung app widget has an option to close apps and to clear RAM..
If low storage , connect to PC using USB and clear unused junk in your sd and external..
okay. so i have:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' (8gb internal / 32gb microSD external) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
1-. i rooted it
2-. partition the microSD leaving (1st partition with 28gb FAT32 / 2nd partition with 1gb ext2)
3-. downloaded Link2SD and linked to the ext2 partition
4-. linked almost every app (screenshot)
yet the info in "storage" says i'm storing everything in the internal memory (screenshot).
i linked "Fifa 12" to external SD and started downloading it (aprox 1.2gb) and while it downloads i can see how the free space from the internal storage goes down.
am i doing something wrong?, thanks in advance!
