Don't remember if I asked before but what recovery are you using? TWRP or CWM and which version?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
What type of music files are u trying to use ? Also did you download them from Google or elsewhere?
Edit: idk if it matters, but you could always move your tracks to your ringtone folder and it will show up.

i would do that but i am going with the slimbean 3.1.o rom once i figure out how to swap mounts due to erikmm putting the INT as EMMC and not sdcard 0 in the vold.fstab unless i can take another 4.1.2 vold and swap the files around but i will try that once the swap can be confirmed between the 2 vold files

Yea I'm not heavy on music but all my songs are MP3 s and are saved in my ringtones or notifications folders. In Apollo or Google my songs and album art show up. I would give that a spin and see if it works. Oh don't want any money if I helped, just hope I helped.lol

Is it shabby penguin's 5.5.0.4? I think that's the one I use...
I remember awhile back that one of the CWM 5 versions didn't work properly and I don't remember which one exactly it was nor do I remember what exactly was wrong with it- and I don't know if it was pulled.
Have you tried updating recovery to CWM 6 and reflash the rom? I know if there's an issue with your recovery you will have various issues with the rom that you flash. Hey, it's worth a shot right? I have never had any issue with music detection with apollo with any rom that I've run, but I also haven't done the storage switch thingy (that's technical terms for me at this hour ) If you have issues with music detection without that mod then I would think there's something not right when you flash the rom (which is why I suggest changing recovery). If that mod is causing it and you can't live without it I'm not sure what to suggest

im not honestly to sure what's wrong with the music detection with the 4.1.2 roms lately there was the .nomedia files etc from the ROM Manager from the play store but i had it working awhile back the first time i flashed the 4.1.2 roms ( can't remember which it was ) but the sd card is good im running the CWM 6.0.9 or some $h!t but maybe it could be that im not to sure i can check it out and give it a try see if that helps and as far as the 4.1.2 roms im good without em frankly id rather combine the Paranoid Android 4.1.2 settings ( the split screen is pretty bomb ) then the Blazer 4 Force performance part of that rom ) and the Slimbean Rom but i dont have an up 2 date strong nor big enough PC due to im using a family member's laptop ( in which he might want back and or forgot completely lol ) ( he's my uncle and like 60 something lol ) but in any case don't have a good copy of an up 2 date Linux not really familiar with it i mess with it on an off but don't actually have it as my OS right now due to previous mention but ill give it a shot and c if the change of recovery works and the ringtone and notification thingy work
My latest slim bean reads music from internal and external now if u guys want to switch for external to read as internal and vice versa then that's another thing but my rom reads songs from both and saves pictures and everything to whichever u choose
sent from my batcave in space! lol
I would just return your blaze if you can or sell it for another. It is strange only you have this problem and it might be your phone is messed up, although I still think it is the sdcard. Did you ever get another card and try it that way? My sdcard did the same thing yours is now before it died and it was only 2 months old and an official samsung card. I have tried almost every ROM we have here and none give me any media issues. Hell, ever since the SOD got fixed I have been looking for bugs and havent found any serious one. As it stands now CM9 and 10 are pretty stable (most roms are based off CM except ASOP). Could you possibly give us a logcat when you first boot? I'm sorry, but it probably wont get fixed without one.

that's the rom im wanting to use on my phone but im wanting to switch the internal with the external is there anyway i can keep the vold.fstab and make the external seen as the emmc and have it show as INTERNAL storage cause im lovin your rom but i can't use my massive 32 gig SDCARD for internal since the emmc is thrown in there instead of default but if there's a way to keep it as is AND STILL switch the internal/external then id love it let me know erik

i dont understand like i stated previously when i FIRST flashed a 4.1.2 rom my music detection was instant even after i swapped mounts but now the slimbean will detect music but when i switch ( re flashed to PA trying to c if i can pull a log from a swappable 4.1.2 rom ) and it detects on slimbean but on PA using apollo or any other app it either doesn't detect or it takes awhile to detect the music like after a few reboots i don't understand it though but now in slim bean it detects when the mounts are default ( internal emmc and ext 32 sdcard being external ) but when i flashed pa and swapped points nothing is shown at least right now as i am typing this post so im gonna give it a try and reflash a clockwork recovery then reflash PA c if that helps so thanks guys for the input i sincerely appreciate it and ive hit thanks on almost all that had input now if someone can point in the direction of solving my problem ( i wish well i don't wish nor want anyone to have this problem ) but i don't get why it's only my phone it does it to i guess like i said it's worth a shot in re doing everything and starting from scratch again so who knows ill start with the recovery first then take baby steps and give input and my findings here in a bit thanks once again guys/girls
Wait, your music works before you do the swap? I loaded up slim bean and it reads my music just fine in crappy apollo. I didn't do the swap as I don't really need the space. Have you tried using link2SD instead of mount swapping? What you can do is dedicate another partition on your sdcard to apps and such instead of moving all your apps. You never really answered why you need to swap mounts, is it cause of a game or do you take booty loads of pictures?

MODS DO NOT MOVE THIS THREAD OR I WILL REMAKE IT HERE. I'M SICK ON NOT GETTING ANY ANSWERS. AND THE ANSWERS I GET DO NOT WORK!!!!
HTC Dream (G1)
CM5.0.7-DS
Radio: 2.22.23.02
build:EPE54B
8GB SDcard [class4] (1Gb ext2/512Mb swap/rest FAT32)
70% of the time I have to reboot my phone before i can make a call, the phone says its calling and vibrates when someone answer but i can not hear them and they can not hear me, nor do i hear the phone ringing
something is killing my battery. a battery that should last all day will be dead in less then an hour and the back of the phone is hotter then ****. again rebooting fixes this
with 3 minute reboot times, REBOOTING MY PHONE 4-10 TIMES A DAY TO USE IT IS F*CKING UNACCEPTABLE. LIKE THE OTHER DAY WHEN I HAD PEOPLE BREAKING INTO MY HOUSE AND I'M TRYING TO CALL THE COPS WHILE GUNS ARE BEING POINTED AT EACHOTHER
i've posted in the Q&A, general help, and PM'ed CM and other with no help or answers other then format your sd card, just put the newest CM on there. why the hell should i upgrade to a new version when the problems are not addressed or fixed.
update to cm5.0.8 or try other roms

see the last line.
Try checking to see if the battery is the problem. Sometimes the G1 battery can get swollen or warped and could cause that problem. I was having the same issue last week and when I popped the back open, the battery was sticking out, looking like Larry Holmes, flabby and sick.
If that's not the issue, make sure you have Danger SPL installed correctly and an updated radio. You can check what versions you have installed by checking your Fastboot.
If none of that helps, do a full wipe and reflash the ROM I guess.
Hope this helps.

secondly, your swap is WAY too high, turn it down to 24-32mb (i use 24mb) and set your swappiness to 10, if your using swap make sure compcache is disabled.
for safe measure compeletly reformat your sdcard, however if your using swap and it is a corrupt portion of the sdcard (since class 4 cards dont have wear leveling to my knowledge).
if your coming from another rom make sure you dont have dalvik-cache still on your ext partition
before installing the rom, use fastboot or the format options in clockworks recovery to format system (may as well format data too if your installing fresh) and flash cyanogenmod then gapps..
donno what else to tell ya, without swap or compcache cm is much for our memory starved g1's. if your a light user than compcache is fine. if your a power user you should use swap. (this way if your listening to pandora for example, and you get a txt message it wont close pandora)
otherwise i dont know what to tell you, im runing cm5.08 with a 24mb swap, 10 swappiness on a properly fat/ext/swap sdcard. i have some custom tweaks and a custom kernel and the bidi font fix and everything is smooth.

First of all, caps and exclamation points do nothing to help you in this case. Calm down, take a few deep breaths, and realize that you are complaining about bugs in an outdated version of a ROM. Also, no one is forcing you to flash any ROM at all, so if it's that much of an issue, go back to stock. I wouldn't recommend recreating threads if this thread gets closed or moved, because that will only serve to piss off the mods who have the power to pretty much do whatever they want. Get a grip, upgrade to the latest version of cyan, and if you still have issues, look in the issue tracker, search the forums, and you will find what you are looking for. Good day.
I had strange problems in the past with my radio (not reachable after a while): what solved mine:
I've reflashed the original RC7 (android 1.0), rooted, flashed radio and spl and then recovery. Did then fastboot:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
reboot & flash any rom you like.
Succes!
btw: I think you should move to CM6 nightly too after installing android 1.0 (much better and (3rd party) things are up to date), shouldn't give any problems at all (but do a fastboot erase system -w when upgrading from 5.x).

This is the development section, not the *****ing section. If you don't like CM, ask for help the right (and polite) way, without your negative attitude and without spamming us. If you're still not satisfied, flash back to stock Android, or buy an iPhone, and stay the hell away from our forums. If you threaten the mods, "If you move this thread I'll just remake it," I think they should delete this thread and ban you. The CM team has put a tremendous amount of work into an excellent and highly stable ROM that thousands use without issue. If you screw it up, many people will help you as much as they can, but you should show a little respect for all the work so many people have done for you, for free.

let switch position, so now you have 2 illegal mexican in your house trying to rob you and threating to kill you, you have them trapped on the 3rd floor of your house using a shotgun and they have hand guns..... now your trying to call the cops but have to wait 4 minutes to reboot your phone, and another 4 minutes for the cops to get there. the whole time they are trashing your house and trying to get out and trying to point a gun at you.... do you think you might just be a little ****ing pissed
i had already brought to problem up nicely before this and was ignored
If you need your phone so bad, don't mess with it especially if you're not smart enough to do it an figure things out without making a big fuss over things. You should have known what you were dealing with and the possible consequences of rooting your phone as it is with any device that you have administrative permissions on.
You are a very nice member of XDA.

If you have people in your house, Mexican or otherwise (racist much?), why do you have time to whine on our forum? Seriously, if your phone is screwed up, it's because you screwed it up, so you can only be pissed at yourself. If you're not smart enough to figure it out, even with help, then give up on modding your phone and stick to stock. CyanogenMod comes with absolutely no warranty or support, and this is made extremely clear before you flash it. So... if you're not happy with the answers you're getting, then tough ****. You have no right to be mad if it doesn't work, whether it causes you to lose your job, become impotent, or be shot by Mexicans. That's what you accept when you use this software. Now deal with it.

Hey everyone,
Found this mod for the Galaxy S (Or SGSII, not sure what the i9003 is), which switches the Internal and External SD cards, according to the Android OS. Personally, I have a lot more space of my external SD and would like games and such to store their data there, instead of on my smaller internal SD. Some apps like Titanium backup can change their data locations, but Games such as Gameloft games and the like cant have their game data moved to the External SD card atm.
This looks like a great alternative to this issue, could this hack be adapted to the G2x?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474
Although I could see how you would think this would be in development, this post should actually go in Q&A.
That being said, this would be a very useful modification.
Edit: My apologies. Apparently you posted in precisely the right forum. My apprehension arose from the fact that so many people say 'BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS MODDD??!?!' and it just clutters things up so my immediate reaction was to motion to have it moved. Good deal bringing it to Krylon and Tweezit's attention
I couldnt decide between Q&A and Development for this topic, as it involves porting or adapting a hack for another phone to the G2x.
MODS: Please move this to Q&A, if necessary.
EDIT: Apparently not, this seems to be a development topic now
Here is a file Be warned I have not tested this. If it messes your phone up I am not held responsible. **Personally I would let another dev look at this to be on the safe side as I am not 100% sure on this.**
You will have to extract it and use root explorer to push to /system/etc/
Oh I needed to clarify this was on 2.2.2 so it may differ on 2.3.
Since we have a little interest, we'll leave it for a day or so and see if anything comes of it.
I've PM'd krylon to take a look at Tweezit's vold. (sounds like a nasty STD).

I'm looking at this now. Your biggest issue is you are going to have to have 3 different versions... well... in reality 2 different versions. CM based and Non-CM Based.
And if someone flashes the wrong one...they are hosed and will have to restore from a backup
ok, after reviewing Tweezits vold, Bionix vold, and CM7 vold, tweezit's would break mounting.
The reason being, with the introduction of Tegra, the vold changed for it.
I'll have to do some testing, but making the internal to external switch should be fairly easy.

We need to decide on a standard. Unfortunately some people don't have SD cards but I'm sure most people would that visit here.
I'm for the switch cause i hate crap installing to my internal drive. Cm already made the switch.

I'm with you. Maybe we should put together a poll or something...
Multiple versions just confuse the new guys. Would be nice if there was some priority... Like use SD as first choice then fall back on internal if SD is not present.
That still complicates things as people wont know what's going on.

If CWM flips it by default then you can just streamline everything and make a public service announcement on the CWM download page that they will be flipped and an SD is required for flashing. Makes sense to use a SD for flashing anyway.
Even a 2gb is plenty for some Roms and app storage. Save the internal for personal music and other media. I hope no one rocks less then that these days.
Plus if you use internal storage I can see certain scenarios popping up where they are boot looping and lost their access into the internal files. I can't mount using 3.1.0.1 external. If it werent for my SD I'd be stuck hardcore.

Multiple versions just confuse the new guys. Would be nice if there was some priority... Like use SD as first choice then fall back on internal if SD is not present.
That still complicates things as people wont know what's going on.

I'm kind of with you on this one. I use all of my roms and such for the external SD card and everything else for internal.

Good point however 5gb of internal space is not enough for me since I have 10gbs of music onmy sd card. I wish there was a way to have a switch function that will enable you to choose which sd crd to download to

I've attached the CWM flashable .zip of the mod I've been running for awhile that will swap your SDcards. Never been able to get it to mount the external card as a folder inside /sdcard/. Didn't really want to release it until I did, but here ya go anyway
BTW, is it just me, or do init.d scripts not work in CM7?
This is for CyanogenMod only!
I don't have the volds from other builds on hand to mod them....
WOW! I come back from long day of work and find all this discussion.....awesome!! Thanks for chiming in guys. I def understand there will have to be at least 2 versions cause of CM, but as its a file, couldnt a simple app\script be created to swap it back and forth, after detecting CM or not? It may be a lil beyond my scripting knowledge, for the detection portion at least.
I see a ton of useful reasons for this switch, as the 5GB isnt the 13ishGB that the Galaxy S has and doesn't quite satisfy the requirements of a "primary" sdcard IMO. The 5GB would be useful as an "_InternalSD" folder bind\mount (whatever is being used), with the External SD as the main SD card. I'll list a few useful reasons why.....
Off the top of my head......
If your a serious gamer and you have a TON of games that have downloadable files put to the SD card, that 5GB will go quick (Gameloft I'm looking at you)
External SD can hold WAY more nandroid backups than Internal SD, and ROM Manager would recognize them (I acknowledge the external sd issue is not really an issue w/ the two ext4 recoveries)

I humbly disagree.... If anything it would belong in the General or Development. It is a work towards development and there is no "question" being asked. Just because it isn't a ROM, doesn't make it any less important to work on the phone.
Just my .02
Setting the scene (without being too dramatic) Been on XDA since i jumped on the Captivate when it was first released, I respect all the work & knowledge that is shared here and rely on it more than the overpaid excuses-for-tech support @ att.
When i Grabbed the Infuse, i handed my cappy down to my kid, still no issues with it and even upgraded to GB.
I got my Infuse as a referb (as i did with my cappy) back in Sept of 11.
Im rooted, no ROMs loaded.
I cant pinpoint when things began (that im about to explain) but I thought after 2 replacement units (one through warranty [another referb], the other at the Device Support Center [a non-referb] it just might be me???
Here is what's happening:
1.when downloading apps, some freeze and never complete (reboot resolves, and restarts when phone boots up) I know this was once an issue with market app... but several "uninstall updates" of the market app later did not change this.
2. (most importantly) when rebooting phone, Apps located on SD Card do not (always) load, its a crap-shoot, it takes anywhere from 3 to 9 reboots for the apps to be recognized and accessible. Then, and only then, does #1 happen.
what is strange to me is that even when the apps do not load, all my music & video on my SD card are visible and playable from the basic audio/video apps (that are installed on internal sd) when the apps are not loaded, the External-SD can not be unmounted, even though i can browse to it, its as it it was never mounted
I played with several microSD cards and went to Samsung to find the optimal speed/class for the Infuse (class 4) and have tried several different manufactures of microSD (currently using a SanDisk 32GB class 4) none have resolved this issue..
what do you think?
any feedback would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU in advance.
Refurb is the keyword here...
I sent in my M11x laptop a couple months ago and it received a refurb motherboard and it hasn't been the same since...However, I've had refurb devices before with no issues, it's a hit and miss thing.
You could try starting from scratch:
Gtg's Unbrick or THIS one (which gives you root back and recovery if you ever need it)
Just make sure you read up on how to do it.

Agreed, but the one im holding now is not a referb, i watched them crack open a new box in front of me at the Device Support Center. which is why I'm suspect that it's something I have done (or am doing) wrong,
I have taken this one Back to stock several times with GTG's Ultimate Unbrick, so when i go back to Device Support Center, they cant give me that "well your rooted" crap. but nothing changes.
i dont know, honestly, it's the only thing keeping me from trying any ROMs, but I wonder if some of them might just fix it.
I have a refurb and it has not given me any problems. It runs better than when i bought a brand new captivate. As far as the apps on the sd card goes I had problems on start ups when i had more than ten apps moved to my sd card. With the last two leaks that problem has gone away. For some reason these phones don't like apps on sd cards.

Oh well that changes things lol I wouldn't let the issue stop you from installing Roms. Try out ZEUS, it is based off of one the newer leaks. (L2) Who knows, it might fix your problem, if not, you obviously know how to return to stock.
Thanks!

i reboot my phone for the heck of it and everything loads as it should.
thanks all.
how can we change the camera save location in JB?
right now it's going to the internal sd. I want it to go to my external.
thanks in advance.
I attempted to ask the same thing earlier and got no response, I looked everywhere I dont think that you can change it just yet.
Sent from my unlocked & rooted Galaxy S III
This drove me crazy at first too, evidently the default AOSP camera doesn't have the ability to save to the sdcard by default? In the I9300 forums I see this but I'm not sure if it'd work for us. Honestly I haven't put much more time into it because I think I might switch to something different as new roms roll out this week.
What I'd really like to know is if CM10 will always need a mod to solve this issue or if it's something that they add down the road.
Greetings everybody! Once again, i need your valuable help in resolving a problem which appeared to my girlfriend's device:
She has bought Sony Xperia L a couple of days ago and she is very satisfied with everything, except from a VERY ANNOYING bug:When she places music files to the internal storage, the phone plays them fine, without any problems. When she places the MP3 files to her external SD though, parts of different songs blend with the one that is already playing.
Let me give you an example:
We have track A, track B and Track C. Instead of the phone playing the whole track and then move to the next one, it will instead play the first few minutes of track A, then switch to the middle of Track C, then switch back to Track A, then switch to Track B and so forth. The strange think is, that the name of Track A is displayed, as if the playback progressed normaly.
I would really appreciate it if you could enlighten us, since both my girlfriend and me are very dissapointed
Thank you in advance

Have you tried killing the app process? If not, please do try. This problem is quite rare.

You might wanna be a bit more detailed than that, when you're trying to give a solution to someone new. She may not know how to go about doing that.
Anyways back on topic now. If you're referring to force stopping the process( not sure if that's what you meant) , that can be done by going into, Settings > Apps > Walkman, from here you can force stop the process. You might also wanna clear app data and cache, hope that solves it.
If not I wonder if it's a problem with your girlfriend's SD card
Don't worry that's ok. Even if she doesn't know how to do it, i can do it for her, I am very familiar with android after all . I did all of the above yesterday, we formated the SD AGAIN and we transfered 10 random songs via usb for testing, everything is fine so far. I will keep you updated on future progress

I really don't know why this is happening. Have you tried what I said ? clearing cache/data your boyfriend should know how to do that. Or the problem could be associated with your sd card, try getting a different one hopefully that might solve the problem.
Well I did all of the above for her and the problem is still there, that's the point Should I try factory resetting her handset today?
Could it be that android has developed a bug that will eventually be ironed out? I really am at loss... Even though I have had android for years, it is the first time i come across this kind of problem. If I am not able to do anything, the next stop is the Sony Service Center.
Such a shame, considering that the device is brand new and unmodified. No rooting, no custom roms, absolutely stock.
i think u should try reflashing the firmware dude

Good thought, but since that is a whole other story on its own, i prefer to leave it as a last resort. Many thanks for the answer though!
Edit: As we found out, the phone has problem with the images as well. It seems that the phone won't write the image to the SD properly, as blank spaces appear horizontally throughout the whole image . The conclusion i can form is, that the phone has problems writing files to the SD card. Today i am going to find if the issue is software or harware related.
Hello it's Darkson's girlfriend again. Today I and Darkson were sent to a technician, because none of the solutions worked at all... The technician swapped SD's with one of his and put all folders I had in the pc (music,photos), in a folder called DCIM. Everything till now, is going well. Although, Darkson tells me that DCIM is the Camera Images folder, so the rest of the folders must be moved to the root directory of the card. Should I move them outside the DCIM folder and rename them according to the content (Image, Music etc.) or this will make the problem reappear?
PS: The SD that the phone was having problems with works fine with my tablet and other mobile phones

You should just move them to the root of the SD card. It should solve the problem. Or you could just backup the contents in the SD card and reformat the SD card. Then move the folders in the DCIM to the root of the SD card.

I agree with you, but the strange thing is that the phone is working normally since the technician set up the above configuration. Is there any possibility, that moving the folders on the root directory will make the issue resurface?
When I asked the technician why he pasted all the folders into DCIM and not just on the root directory, he replied that he is doing it in order to stress the phone's proccesor and SD reader and therefore test its reading speed and stability. Basically i find this to be nonsense, but i would certainly like to have your opinion about it. (Darkson)
PS: My girlfriend forgot to mention that the repairman returned the phone to us with HIS SD inside, providing it as "a gift" for what we have been through.
PS#2: Formatting the card won't create all of the necessary folders, only Music, Playlist and the two capability files.

the technician is right, he is trying to see if there is anything wrong with reading/writing to SD card. DCIM gets read much more then rest of the card. Don't declare guy stupid just becouse you don't get what he is trying to do.
If you using an old firmware, that will be the culprit. I also experience that when I was on 1.36... But upon flashing 2.17 it is gone... Pictures have those crazy color lines on my pictures when it was saved in SD card... The same with the song mixup

The firmware was updated to the latest version available, and still the issue occured. I think that the phone is very picky when it comes to SD cards and works only with certain brands and classes
Flashing a fresh firmware will fix your problem.. If not claim for device chanfe its sd bay problem( hardware)
