Has there been a fix for Storage vs Storage2?

Sorry if this answer is out there but I couldn't find it. Not even after reading all 13 pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...storder=asc&highlight=storage+card2&start=300
All my apps on my 2G SD card "used" to be referenced via "Storage Card" but now, after I got my hands on Buzz's (Its all your fault! LOL) ROM Unlocker, "Storage Card" is now Storage Card2" and the ROM shows up as "Storage Card", as well as, ExtendedROM. - although the contents are different. <huh! :?: >
Is there a way to rename these? I have tried Buzz's reg entry of:
HKLM_System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\NAME="whatever" but that did not work for me.

If you change
HKLM_System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\Folder="ExtROM" and turn off your device, wait 5 minutes and soft reset it will work.
Note that is Folder and not Name.
Dah

Thanks for pointing out the "NAME" vs "Folder" part.
I still had the problem of Storage Card and Storage Card2 after following your instructions.
I turned off Outlooks storing of attachments to the Storage Card and this worked. I now only have the single Storage Card, but attachments now become the problem.
One thing I don't understand is that the ExtROM (with the cabs inside) appears as a seperate storage volume than did the Storage Card (9M of free space) when Storage Card2 (My 2G SD card) was present.

OK I understand what your problem is. Lets see if I can explain it in a way that makes sense to you. Your problem is windows is attempting to access a storage card that is not yet mounted. Or a storage card that does not exist, yet. When this happens you generally wind up with a folder by that name somewhere on your system.
Outlook in this case starts before the card is mounted, and tries to access your card before it is ready. I suppose that one could try putting some really big values in HKLM\System\StorageManager\
PNPUnloadDelay
and/or
PNPWaitIODelay
Or perhaps buy a better quality SD card that does not take so long to become active. I'm not so sure their is a real fix to this problem. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

ARG! I hate (device/OS) limitations.
Thanks

I got that last night, and simply deleted the storage "1" folder, and reset the device. I think.

Storage Card 2???

Yesterday I've re-installed my MDA Pro.
I use the QTek 1.30.77 WWE ROM, QTek 1.30.176 WWE extended ROM and the 1.11 Radio ROM.
After the hard reset I've installed all the programs from the extended rom and after that I cleared out the extended rom and used this for some SPB Apps (Not Pocket Plus, I installed this one on my local device).
But now when I perform a soft reset, the phone changes the name of my SD card to "Storage Card 2" and it creates a directory "Storage Card" where a temporary internet files directory is located.
I also used a reg tweak to let IE store my temp internet files on my SD card, but now it seems that when I reset my MDA it creates a temporary internet files directory when the storage card isn't detected yet.
But I haven't had this problem before.
Is there anyone who has a solution? Because now some programs are installed on my storage card and they don't work because the path to the executables is wrong. Maybe it has something to do with installing programs on my extended rom???

Why this happens:
If for any reason it cannot find the SD on boot (fast enough) it will create a folder called Storage Card to put the temp files (or inbox or whatever) so that the path \Storage Card\... exists. Now as soon as the SD becomes available, since there is already a folder called Storage Card it is forced to name itself Storage Card 2.
Solution: Delete the "Storage Card" folder and soft reset.

Yes I gues this is the problem. I already tried your solution, but it won't help. It will create a new directory with the name Storage Card so that my SD card again will be renamed to Storage Card 2.

Move the temp internet files back to the main memory and delete the folder. Apparently it does not read your card fast enough.

Going to try that. But I just don't understand. I have a SanDisk 2g Ultra 2 SD card, so the card is fast enough. I never had this problem before, just after the hard reset from yesterday.

I know have linked the temporary internet files folder to my local machine and it seems that this works!
Only I still want to know if there's a solution so that I can store my temp ie files to my SD card without the issue of the "storage card 2".

I remember reading this problem before. I believe the solution can be found on Buzz's Ext ROM Unlocker thread.

Couldn't find that in the post, but I reset my device again and didn't installed programs on my extended rom. This seemed to work, so maybe that was the problem.

thanks, i freaked out, almost done a hard reset, then searched XDA through google, found this solution, it worked 100%.
thanks guys

Extended ROM / ExtendedROM problems.

Hello. I've had the MDA Pro for quite a while now. I've unlocked it, I've upgraded the ROM and I've unlocked the ExtendedROM. My problem now is that everytime I unlock the ROM and install my apps on the Storage Card, after some time my Storage Card is renamed from "Storage Card" to "Storage Card2" and all my apps that were installed there don't work obviously as the shortcuts for the programs point to the Storage Card and not the Storage Card2. Also my message attachment folder which was on the Storage Card gets moved to either the ExtendedROM or a new folder "Storage Card\inbox....". Why is this happening? I unlocked the ExtendedROM so that only the cabs that I want are installed. If I rename the Storage Card to SD Card or anything else in the registry, my inbox attachment folder also goes into one of the two locations mentioned. The ROM unlocker was one that I this website called "130SP_Uni_Extrom_Unhider_Spec ial" which for some reason I can't find the post. What am I not doing or doing wrong?? Currently I've hidden the ExtendedROM from the registry key "Mount Hidden". Any help is appreciated. Is anyone else having this problem?

Do a search for Buzz Extended ROM Unlocker and you will find a solution in one of the thread. I remember reading it a while back. I think it is under the Universal threads. It might also be a sticky in there.

All installed apps failing

Hopefully someone on here can help me. I've just been adding speecameras to the Tomtom app on my HD. The first set went on OK, but when I tried adding a second, then starting up the Tomtom app to check all was OK, it came back with the following message:
"The file 'TomTom Navifgator' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be foind. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Now I wouldn't mind doing as it says, but I thought I'd try a soft reset first - but when the phone 'booted' back up, all of the other installed apps, also failed, with the same message.
Apps include gsen, HD Tweak, mini gps, among others.
These were all working fine previously.
Anyone have any ideas as I don't want to have to re-install all of them again?
Thanks.

sounds like a corruption has happened somewhere. check your SD card (if that's where you installed them) and look for suspicious characters, or missing files. When it happened to me on my old phone all the directories were suddenly empty!!

I did install them all on the sd card. Had a look and it doesn't appear to be corrupt.

Did you change any settings with HDtweak, have the same problem at this time, only programe I added was HD tweak 5.4.x. Good luck

Maybe the same problem
I've also had a problem like this once on my HD. I remember, I had just installed HDtweak when it appeared first time. I could not find any solution on how to fix it, so I did a Hard Reset...
Hope anyone can fix it.
My HD said that ".NET framework 3.5" is needed (it was installed), and I tried over and over again to reinstall it, but it just gave me another error. Do your device do this?

Had a similar problem, after using Storage Card and HD in USB mode. All of a sudden my Storage Card appeared in Windows and Resco Explorer twice, Storage Card and Storage Card2. Of course none of the programs would want to start, since the path was changed.
I copied all the programs from the storage card to the desktop (with the intention to reformat the card), reset the HD without the storage card, put the card back in - card #2 was gone - and copied all the files back to the card. Solved my problem.

Very odd. Bit the bullet and started re-installing the apps (not as painful as I thought actually) and they all installed, overwriting the existing version - except, similar to Lucas 0511, they seemed to now be on Storage Card2. And a 'normal' (on device) folder had been created, named Storage Card.
All works OK, but I really don't understand it!?!?

I encountered similar problem in the past.
Both My diamond and HD also have got similar problem.
Diamond: suddenly showed up 2 internal memory.
HD: 2 SD card.
One episode, my card was even corrupted.

I think your card was corrupted.

No, not corrupted, but during USB disk drive mode access to the card for other apps is blocked. So if an app on the device (in my case usually Opera) attempts to write to the card during USB disk mode it cannot find it - and hence will create and write into a new Storage Card folder.
After the USB disk drive mode is closed the folder name "Storage Card" is now taken, so the card will automatically be reassigned to "Storage Card2" - and apps installed to Storage Card previously will no longer find it.
Solution: Delete the "new" Storage Card folder, card out, reset, card back in - and all should be back to normal.

I've had this problem too. It'll manifest as all the icons for programs installed on your SD showing up as blanks. When you go into your file manager you'll see Storage Card and Storage Card2. Storage Card2 is your storage card, but because all your shortcuts are looking for stuff on Storage Card, it can't find the data.
One cause may be that for some reason your mail application starts writing attachments to a new, non-existent storage card. All you have to do is delete it. (Make sure you're deleting the right one - you can remove the other if you want to be belt-and-braces safe, but just checking in the file manager is probably good enough.)

I've had this problem a couple of times on my Kaiser. Unfortunately the only way to correct it was to do a hard reset as I couldn't find any solution anywhere. So far it hasn't happened on my HD.

if your device is showing 'storagecard' and 'storagecard2',
remove memory card, now the file explorer will still show 'storagecard',
delete the 'storagecard' and reinsert the memory card,
perform soft-reset.....

Warning: Accidental SD card deletion

I did something stupid. I've had my G3 only 2-3 weeks so am not familiar with LG's system. Browsing the internal SD card on Windows (MTP) the internal storage mounting point 0/storage/emulated is actually displayed as a folder on the internal SD: This PC\G3\Internal storage\storage\emulated.
(I confused this folder with a sub-folder I had created myself and coincidentally called the same name.) The folder in Windows shows as empty. I deleted it.
The result: it deletes your entire internal and external SD cards.
I was using stock V20H. (Probably AOSP roms use different mount points ??)
I can't find any thread mentioning this, so I'm posting as a warning.

any way to recover any of the files from it? i need my screenshot folder specifically

I didn't bother trying, but i did find some software that will retrieve lost data (i didn't bookmark it but should be easy to search). Important thing is don't save anything on the sd now because it may overwrite the existing data.
