How can i get cwm to read from the internal sdcard does anyone know.
I think it does that by default.
That's why you have to place .zip in internal memory. (Tipo)

my j does'nt it reads external and there somthing wrong with the sd reader so i want it to read internal.
What are you trying in cwm? I think after selecting any option it asks if it should perform action from internal card. I've seen option in - choose zip from SD card, backup, restore.
Also try mounting in mounts and backup

Use adb sideload, much easier.Just install the ADB drivers.

Hello,
This is my First thread on XDA
I wasnt sure whether to post it in General Section Or Development Section. So posted it i General Section.
Now its possible to mount NTFS SDcard on our phone
My config:
GLX-R ZCLA1
ardatdat kernel v1.7b1 voodoo
Please test on other ROMS and report below..
Before Proceeding:
Please do this at ur own risk
Steps:
1. Format the sdcard in NTFS using windows.. (Data will be deleted. Dont forget to backup Data)
OR
1. Download EASEUS Partition Manager and use Option "Convert to NTFS" (Data will be saved but still do a backup before formatting)
2. Insert ur NTFS sdcard and start the phone
3. Phone will recognize it as Blank SD card
4. Download The Attached Driver & restart the phone
5. Flash The driver using CWM
6. Start The Phone (Again Phone will recognize it as Blank SD card)
7. Install Terminal Emulator (From Market)
8. Run Terminal Emulator and type the following lines
Code:
su
ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
vold
9. Wait a few Seconds
10. Now SD card will be mounted as NTFS with Read/Write Capability
NOTE:
Steps 8 to 10 must be repeated after rebooting the phone
NTFS card will be recognized by windows but Steps 8 to 10 must be repeated after Using Mass storage mode
Most of the 3rd Party apps recognize ntfs formatted sdcard without any problems
Files Larger than 4GB can be stored
Use app "Gscript Lite" to place shortcut of the script on homescreen
To Automate steps 8-10 on boot use apps like "Autostart" OR "Script Manager"
(I use Script Manager)
[Known Limitations]
1. The "Blank SD Card notifiction Might not disappear, But dont worry ur sdcard will still be mounted as NTFS at /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
2. Apps previously loaded on SD Card might Not Work.
3. U wont be able to move app to SD Card ("SD Card is full" error will appear)
4. Stock Video Player dont see files from NTFS ( Use MX Player)
5. Stock Music also dont see files from NTFS ( Use players like TTPod or MyMusicOn)
6. Stock Gallery also dont see files from NTFS ( Use PERFECT VIEWER)
7. Stock Camera will be able to take pictures and record videos, but preview is not possible within the app itself. For that use above alternatives apps
This guide is adapted from here.

Well great, but I have no use for ntfs.

Well, i have 32gb sd card and unable to store files larger than 4gb seriously pisses me off.. so i use ntfs

Just BTW the move to sd card issue can be fixed.

Thats nice... can you please tell me.. because my phone memory will soon be over..

Modify vold file and change asec=disable to enable
May not work. Backup first

It doesnt work.. Its the NTFS driver thats mounting the sd card...vold doesnt even recognises the file system (Hence it says blank sd card)..
pudup said:
You could try using winrar to split up a file and then merge it within the sd. Not sure if that works but it's an idea

Why to do that now... we have ntfs support and it allows us to store files larger than 4gb...
pudup said:
Ah I didn't read through your first post properly. Anyway I'll see there can be another way for movement of apps to sd.

ok.. Plz share as soon as you find it.
pudup said:
As for the winrar thing, I don't wanna go through steps 8-10 every time and so this works for me.

But those steps can be automated using the apps mentioned above..

I really want to do this, but after i formatted the card to NTFS and put it back in my phone i could'nt read anything from the card and when i booted into recovery to flash the zip file, CWM recovery couldn't read the sd card either.
Am i missing something important? If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Does CWM or TWRP recovery support backup/restore on NTFS cards?
Hi!! I tried everything, flashed stock firmware which worked for me every time. But now the phone just hangs after a minute of boot. I can see status bar and nav buttons but its black screen in main screen. I am unable to turn on developer tools because of this so can't even root phone or anything. Please help.
I used 'root external 2 internal sd' application from playstore earlier which caused the phone to not boot at all. So I flashed stock firmware. And now this problem
The application showed 16 GB internal and 16 GB external when I tried it.
I just tried to quickly go and check storage. It says 0 in internal storage and nothing as external. Can it be because of this?? Any fix? :/

May be your partitions are not read properly or they have become corrupt
. Do you flash the full ftf along with the wipe data option turned on ?
If not then do try this.

yes i flashed full ftf with both wipes checked.
today i removed my sd card and mobile worked fine after that. i used sd card via card reader and its fine, not corrupt. put it back in mobile and again the same problem of mobile hanging and going black. it shows 0 gb internal when i put sd card.
is there any fix to this or fixing partitions coding inside mobile?

Format your sd card using your phone. Search Google play for a good app to format and format your external sd card as fat32.
Best of luck.
Hit thanks if it helped.

if the problem is still therr then do the following
Put your external card in card reader and connect to your windows pc.
download hdd low level format and format the card. Make sure you DO NOT use the quick format option.

Is there any way To merge Device Storage and Internal Storage together on Cm12/CM11/Stock
Anyone ?
No need too. You can use link2sd to link apps to internal storage. Much more safer without risking the phone to become a brick...
I know about Link2SD but my SDCard is filles with Music so i cant use my SD Card
I'm talking of the internal sd, not the sdcard...

Well, I wrote a script that once is installed in init.d, it will make a link2sd dir on the internal sd and when you'll link an app it will go there. I'll post it somewhere if you want it...

Hi, yes you're right, more details:
I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.1
Zip files was on micro SD card formatted in NTFS.
And what I tried with no success is to find teh file on sd card location.
So I test FAT? On SD Card?

That TWRP version is very old... but should be good enough for wiping.
How did you try to find the file "on sd card location"? Using "Select storage?" Or did you mount using the mount page? In which directory did you look? external_sd or whatever it's called?

In TWRP I choosed "Install" option and look for .zip files I copied. I looked in folder SDCARD and EXTERNAL_SDCARD located at root and I found nothing.
I didn't use the "mount" option.

Which folder did you put them into on the card?
My guess is that they are in that folder
Which rom.zip files btw?
Well... I try to developp a little bit more to get some help.
I installed in my micro SD formatted in EX FAT format and in the SD card formatted in FAT32 format the two zip files dowloaded here:
Download CM11.0
Download GAPPS
They are installed at the root of both cards, there is no other files or folder in it.
I start in TWRP and then click install icon and look for these files everywhere and found nothing.
When I cick to mount icon, I cannot mount the micro SD or the SD cards.
Could you help me?
Is it possible to install another version of TWRP if the system does'nt start anymore?

when you enter twrp you should press on install, then there is a tab that says choose storage press on that and choose sd card, then carry on as you have been doing. twrp doesn't automatically show things on your micro sd card

Hi goodafternoon! I just want to ask if im doing this right:
I want to install apk directly to my external SD Card because my internal only has 2gb of memory.
I tried searching for some tweaks and i found one using terminal emulator, i put the commands and it says 2[external].
Is it succesfull? And why there is a WARNiNG sign, im afraid of that.
up please

The

set to external sd works for apps that you can move directly to sd without **root, in phone's package manager. You get root and try rom toolbox or link2sd or there are several other apps to force move an app to sdcard

Yes mini partition is best option for making partition...
But u can also use link2sd without second partition...
But if you don't use second partition.. Then only little problem occurs..
That the apps u linked to sdcard card becomes unavailable when u connect ur device to pc.. Because sd card mounted on pc...
This can be overcome by using second partition....
But I think its not a big problem...
One thing you can also make partition using ur recovery..

FIRST MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SDCARD...
Go to recovery > Choose advance option... > Sd partition..
Then select partition size which suits your needs...
(Make sure you choose ext4)
Great, i will try that man. Do partitioning sd card via recovery deletes all files of it? Thats why i need to backup it first?
