Open root browser and go to /storage/sdcard0/....... There u might see last rom's sdcard files...... That may be eating memory which system can't detect

Had to format everything completely, enter download mode, and flash pit files. Entered recovery and flashed ROM. That is what did it

Is there any way to remove the 'virtual sd card partition'. And format 'external sd card' as 'sd card partition'?

How to wipe internal storage without wiping cwm?

I want to wipe everything off my storage but if I do that then cwm will be deleted too. I remember seeing topics for formating but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Use the G2x Batch Cleanup Toll (search the Dev section). It does a complete cleaning and pushes CWM

Use the tool in my sig. Just do a dual-wipe with the Nullifier and you're good as new (so to speak at least).
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well, I just succesfully did the cleanup batch thing, but Im inside cwm now, I can't access my internal storage, says E:can't mount /emmc/, if I try to mount usb storage it says
E:Unable to write to ums lunsfile (No such file or directory)
Should I reinstall cwm? Re-root? Pretty confused here
edit: I reinstalled cwm, working fine now, will come back if ive got any more problems
Don't forget to install a GB based ROM before you install anything ICS

I didn't do that, flashed a jb ROM before anything else, no obvious problems have appeared yet.

is your internal storage working properly? That was the problem with flashing a non GB ROM first, if I remember correctly
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Ya, I just had to go into vold.fstab and change 2 numbers so I can make internal storage my main storage cuz I don't have a sdcard but ive always had to do that on ICS/jb ROMs.

Skyrocket detects external 32gb microsd card, but won't be read by...

I just recently purchased a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for my skyrocket, and it works perfectly fine.
The only issue i have is that the microsd card won't be read unless i use a file manager such as astro.. Apps like gallery or mxplayer won't read the microsd card.
This didn't happen with the 16gb class 4 micro sd card, so what is happening?
Anyway to fix this issue?
Thanks

Interesting..
Btw when i ran media scan it says sd card is "usb storage". Not "external sd".... Could this be the reason?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Mini Tools Partition Wizard is the program to use if you are on windows. Use it to format the card to fat32 primary. If that doesn't do it replace the card.

Is there anyway to make the paths so the phone can determine its correct location?
Could it be the difference in size of the card itself too?

When I reformat back with android, it works fine, other than the issue of not showing the files in apps, unless using a file manager.

Yes, i am rebooting.
Only issue is that to view images in apps like gallery or mxplayer, the folder has to be on the root of the sdcard. Before i had a group of folders in one, and now it won't let me do this.
Am i possibly naming folders wrong?

Certain basics
You don't have cwm in a Rom zip
/data.. internal memory
/system... system memory.. this is where your Rom is
/boot... kernel is here
/recovery... independent of all other partitions and can be flashed either in Android using flash image binary or fastboot..
Google what other recoveries you have for your phone.. it should be in index /sticky for your phone in your forum thread.

if can't solve by clean flashing, it is high possibility that chip is faulty, this is hardware issue.

you have answer ur own question..lol
think..memory card own do not supply own power to operate. the phone does. why your memory card broken? the phone brack it. why still the card be use in normal, thats complicated. intermediate current or voltage supply to the card may cause this. same principal as some phone can oc 1.3ghz some can't.

[Q] force download to internal memory not sd card

Since I installed the sd card, a download folder has been created on ext memory and all downloads go there by default: is there a way to force downloads into internal memory?

Miscellaneous files storage usage

Hey!
I noticed I have almost 2gb of miscellaneous files all the time. What are these files and can I delete them?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app
if u upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 recently without wipe data afterwards, this will happen. if that's not the case,just ignore me.
That's shouldn't be the case
Miscellaneous here refers to the files other than system memory and cached data. Which means the things you have on your internal sd card

if my case,i boot in recovery mode and do wipe data/factory reset,but that way,all your apps are gone too. so you should investigate better,like brian said,try search you internal via pc see got any abnormal file.
I did a little investigation and found out that there was still Asphalt 7 files after uninstall. Now I have a bit over 2gb free space and 0,8gb of miscellaneous files. I don't know what are those files, maybe some app data + play music + YouTube player cache.
