I currently don't have a SD card but will be buying one. Will I be able to use the G2x's internal memory (5 gigs) along with the external SD card? So for example, will I be able to store music on the internal memory AND the external sd card?
Yes, you don't have to use one OR the other. They can both work in conjunction with the other.
external storage is mounted on /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard while internal storage is mounted on /mnt/emmc by cm7 default. dunno if stock does the same
how do i get internal storage to show on miui without a sdcard?
What exactly do you mean show?

I believe I may be having same issue so i will explain. My phone after flashing to MIUI cannot jse a sd card I put in for what ever reason when I insert one it gets super hot and just tells me card is ready for removal with no way to mount. Before Rom Manager would allow me to use internal memory for roms or downloads from browser but after miui I cannot even find the internal memory. We just want a way to access it.
Just flashed miui on my G2x and an experiencing the same problem...
If you don't have an SD card and want to make the internal SD act as the external click here and flash the external secondary miui one.
I want to try the MOD you posted but can't download it to phone because of no sdcard problem.

What I did was restore to gingerbread or cm7. (basically a ROM that can discover the internal sd.) Then i connected it to my computer, put the mod and MIUI on my internal SD, wiped data, wiped cache, flashed miui, flashed the mod and bingo
I think I have a solution for you. You will need a file manager with a text editor built in like Root Explorer. Brows to /system/etc and open vold.fstab. This is the file that tells the OS where to mount the storage. Yours is most likely trying to mount the internal on the external sd which is default. All you have to do to change this is to change the vold.fstab from this:
Code:
# Internal SD card
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard/_InternalSD 9 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# External SD card
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
To this:
Code:
# Internal SD card
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 9 /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# External SD card
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
Problem:
After Upgrading to 0224 official MSI ROM, you'll have a new issue with the SD card, it means your SD card is totally unusable and all the apps know the internal 4GB memory (in fact about 2GB) as the primary and the only alternative memory of device, so all related data files will be on "storage/Android/data/".
Solution:
With this modification we'll completely switch the Internal Storage of the device (4GB) with your External SD card (up to 32GB) and after this all the data files will be on "External SD/Android/data/"; but the only issue is for the labels, after switching:
4GB Internal Storage as external_sd ("/mnt/extrenal_sd')
(up to)32GB External SD as flash or sdcard ("/mnt/storage")
Requirements:
1- Root access (use Gingerbreak, see here)
2- Root Explorer or any app you can modify the file "/system/etc/vold.fstab" with
3- Overwriting the attached file or simply changing the codes as below and Reboot:
Before:
Code:
dev_mount flash /mnt/storage 1 /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/mtdblock9
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
After:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd9/mtdblock9
dev_mount flash /mnt/storage 1 /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
talk about persistence...
Many thanks goldie, I will try this out later.

Is this SD card problem still an issue with the latest 0306 firmware? I'm about to upgrade.

How do you move apps and data to to external sd card on P920?
My internal sd card is full, so bought an external one, but can't move any of the apps to external, every-time I try "move to sd card" gives out error memory is full no space to move. I know internal is full but how can I ask it to move it to external? Which for the moment is sitting there doing nothing.
Thanks
You can't move apps to the ext. SD, just to internal sd card. The ext. SD is for your music, pics, videos,...

There is an app on the play store called GL to SD .. that should help get large games and large apps onto your new ext SD card

if you have rooted your fone, use Titanium Backup to move them batch from internal memory to SD card using the "batch" option.

Thanks all, will try some of those suggestions, but I would have thought a rom with that feature is a must.
Yes my phone is rooted, could I not rename external sd card to act as internal and mv internal to backup or something? or combine both the external and internal as one large space? I've barely begun to add things yet.
There is an app called Directory Bind. With this app you can move entire directories to ext_sd. Just google it, or pm me. Than I search for the link the time I come home again.

Titanium Backup (and the Android system) can move apps from the internal memory to the internal SDcard but they cannot move apps from the internal SDcard to the external SDcard, I think.
maybe you need move some movies or photos to external SD card instead of the apps
Swap cards
Hi,
You can swap your external and internal cards.
Need root.
Copy everything from internal card to external card.
Install ES File Explorer.
In Settings-->Tick Mount File System
Tick Up to root
Tick Root Explorer
Click Up to get to root
Goto system
Goto etc
Click on vold.fstab-->Open As text
You should back up this file just in case
Change the following 2 lines:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
to:
dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0
Save
Reboot

Thank you
I have a rooted Xolo q700i phone. I've installed a external sdcard and which is shown as sdcard0 in /storage. In /storage there is also sdcard1 which is i think internal sdcard. I am not using this internal sdcard. Since my internal memory is full, I want to use this internal sdcard with link2sd.
Can someone please help me with this.
- How to create partition in internal sdcard?
- How to use internal sdcard with link2sd?
I don't want to use my external sdcard for this as that one is nearly full and I have to remove it sometimes.
Thanks
