[Q] Make external SD primary saving point

Curious if this is could already be an available mod. i just dont see the reason to have the phones "internal sd" the primary saving point on our devices when we have external card up to 64gigs. i thought it was just the LG G2x. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I don't think if there is a way on stock to get things to store to the external storage by default but the cyanogen from I ran for a while did.

Cyanogen 9 nightly build by Shabby

My gallery doesn't see storage anymore if I flash past 8/02/12
Is this just the way it is or is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!

Storage has swapped since then to correct locations. For many things Internal will have swapped for External and vice versa.
There are a few things that have been in progress since then. 1, a couple of AOSP/CM9 acceptable schemes have been tried the final has been arrived at
2, some issues with applications have arisen, i think this is generally fixed
3, i know the latest issue is deleting in gallery isn't working right.
The nightlies are built off Chris's latest committed code. The changes in storage are permanent so some of your applications / defaults will be backwards from what your used to. The issues however are and or will be fixed and they were known about it the day they showed up.
I know a few people reported files being there and they could not see them at all. I have been working from clean installs with no issues. Pictures that were taken with the 7-17 nightly were stored on the storage device they were originally and the camera now saves to the new location both are visible in gallery for example. Not 100% sure but i believe the SD card is now the default write location.

The gallery says there is no external storage available.

Sounds like the solution is to go back to 8/2/12

What info would help? All I know with my naked eye is that the storage seems to flip flop or something. The gallery says there is no external storage available. I tried to get a screenshot with the built in screenshot feature but because it sees no storage it won't save it.

Well if your coming from a TW Kernel nightly (7/31 or older) to a source kernel nightly (8/02 +) to one of the newer source kernel nightlies I would recommend a clean install i mean storage has changed atleast 3 times.
As per Chris's notes I did notice that the option inside storage was checked causing emmc to be mounted as external_sd. But everything is working for me on a clean install either or. Problems can only really be solved once you get that out of the way. Otherwise revert to whatever you liked and be prepared to do a clean install when we go official. I can only recommend it when such a leap occurs.

"MOD" Save Pictures to External SD with CM10/AOKP Camera

Thanks to TheUnkn0wn for his AOSP Mod for the camera(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611) to enable saving pics to your externel SD Card. By simply flashing the zip in CWM or TWRP you will lose audio for your video camera. I have tested this and just extracted the actual app in the .zip and copied it to the /system/app folder with Root Explorer that was mentioned in that Thread. I first renamed the original Galary2.apk to .bak so it wouldnt overwrite and then copied the modded one in did a reboot. I can select SD Card and audio works with the camera. Only thing missing it taking shots while recording. I can look at previews, can use flash while taking the pic etc. I have no Force Closes or any bugs at all. Test it out if anyone wants to.
Here is the extract of the zip.
http://db.tt/bGwBqnXy
With Root Explorer
1) Rename existing Gallary2.apk to .bak
2) Copy new Gallary.apk to system/app
3) Reboot phone

Thank you for this.
It is working perfectly

Yea this is absolutely awesome. Thanks a lot. One of my biggest gripes with AOKP.

Saving to external SD has already been added to my aokp. Not sure why it would be one of you "gripes. "

Maybe they aren't using your aokp but that only leaves one...which is paranoid and I had issues with that and my SD card

From the OP:
"By simply flashing the zip in CWM or TWRP you will lose audio for your video camera"

I didn't flash. I just did the steps there.
Its fine though. Updated to newest nightly, installed 4.2 camera. Enjoying some 360 love!!

download link is down

New link added in OP

Does anyone know is this will work on other devices running CM10?

Is the no sound in videos problem just in playback on the phone, or is it a problem with recording sound?

So Unknown has released v 2.00 for JB 4.2. Anyone get this working on our aokp devices or such?

Help can't flash new roms on T-mobile s3!!!!

Hi I might have erased something on my phone. I have flashed roms before but something must have gone wrong. I flashed a cm10 rom and it messed my folders up by creating a folder on the phones memory (I forgot what it was called)I tried moving the folders out of it because my files looked ok and something happened where it erased my external 64gb and crashed my phone( it became unresponsive when trying to move the data to my pc. I flashed the stock rom using odin and it took ok I rerooted and installed twrp and tried to flash different roms but they all stay at the boot screen. Wierd thing is I can restore/backup just fine. i just can't install custom roms. I also saw something that i never noticed before in my folders on the phones internal memory I will provide a pic. Are those usb folders normal ? I can't access them though. Someone please help what can I do to be able to flash roms again? Also before anyone mentions it I tried with clockwork same issue.

Flash new ROM. Factory reset.

Yeah, I think I know what's happening, enter the sdcard folder, and if you see a folder in there called "0", all of your stuff should be there. This happened to me while using CM10.

That's what happens on cm10.1 just look in your 0 folder.

Thanks for the help guys yes i'm Puerto Rican and I already knew about the 0 folder issue and the work around (i do look at this site quite frequently but don't post much because i look before posting) but the problem happened when i tried to move the items from that folder to my pc. The fact is it just stopped transfering files completely my phone shut off it erased my external 64gb sd card and it pretty much corrupted the internal storage thank god i was able to factory reset with odin. However even after i factory reset with odin i couldnt flash roms. Thats why i posted this thread, and also to make sure that those usb folders were normal (which i found out were normal to see) Reflashed Odin factory rom 3 times in a row and that seemed to clear up the issue. Like i said thanks for all the help and sorry if it seemed like i was noobing. :good:
