For some reason, apps like angry birds, 2 player reactor, and the modified flash for hulu don't install unless I unmount my sd card first. Otherwise I get the application not installed message. Any advice?

Just install it with the SD unmounted. Then from there under the applications tab you can move to SD if it is available. If it isn't then you will have to go with apps to sd.
The problem is some apk files are on my sd card, like the flash one which I now can't install

Bumpity bump bump. Would very much like to install modified flash apk for hulu pl0x ^_^
Hi,
i have the same issue with Stock Rom 2.2.1 (1.72.405.3) installing some apps: Some of them (i think mostly protected apps) can't be installed while SD-Card is mounted. Even when i am Installing from Google Market it doesn't work. When i unmount the card and try again it works.
Having a rooted (S-Off) Desire HD with 2.2.1 (1.72.405.3)
Can't find any workaround!
hope you can help me!
Well, my only fix was to flash another rom. Most custom roms I've ran don't have the problem

do you know of any app to SUPER WIPE this freaking memory????
do you know how to format it with command ?
i flashed my phone and it still wont format this memory....
its like all the files i have in my memory are super secure and they cant be deleted unless i unlock them... but idk what the heck happened...
all i remember is that it started to happen after i flashed my note and then i was downloading the radio and then every time i would go in CWM the radio file would not be there so then i rebooted the phone to check and then the radio files was not there......
i tried that like 4 times... now im at the point that i dont care and im trying to delete everything just to solve this...
this memory is just like 2 months old.... its a sandisk... i got it from walmart... 32GB.... i think my warranty was only 30 days
Exactly what file are you trying to delete. I was referring to your memory before. There are files on your removable memory that you can't delete because they will get 're written automatically

Perhaps your micro SD has a write switch on it? Lol. That's all I can think of. Otherwise boot into Ubuntu and open terminal and CD in and rm -rf *

I already asked you to indicate what files/directory you are trying to remove.
Here's the Panasonic Format Utility, is this can't format it your card is toast

My SD card reader seems to have stopped working today. When I reboot the phone, it states it is reading the SD card, and 1 second later it is finished. Now, I can't access any data on the SD card via system programs, music, gallery, movies, etc...
I can use ES Explorer and see and use contents on the SD card, so I don't think the SD card is corrupt. How can I check my SD card reader program and see if that is the problem? Does anyone have a fix for this issue?
Edit: I am using SleeperROM 3.0.0 and the only problem I am having is the SD card reader app isn't working on boot or after unmounting/mounting the SD card. I can access all files via PC or ES Explorer.

Ok, does anyone know how to reinstall the system card reader "software" that seems to be malfunctioning? I can't even access Titanium Backup because the system won't recognize the SD card even though ES File Explorer and my PC (when USB connected) will!
Please help!

I haven't done anything like that to my knowledge. What is a .nomedia file?
Any way to reinstall the system SD card reader?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Guys, I've noticed this going on a lot lately across several devices and different platforms of Android.
I think something might be wrong, as in some type of infected app we're all using.
I can't think of any other correlation between the many people suddenly experiencing this all at once across several different devices, many different ROMs, and completely different versions of Android.
I had a .nomedia file magically appear on the root of my internal storage on my Nexus several times today, and even after removing it my media would not be recognized at all, as well as the file would return every so often.
Someone should look into this.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I looked throughout the root directory and did not find any .media files.
Is there a way to "reinstall" the system SD Card reader app that autoruns when the phone reboots or the usb is disconnected after a file transfer?
Mine runs for only 1 second then states "media scan complete."
I am thinking my SD card reader app went bad today, if that is even a possibility. The CPU and ES Explorer recognize and play all files using non-system integrated apps (music, video, gallery being the system apps).
Also, all the apps installed to the SD Card are running fine.

Same here....... I downloaded paranoid android 1.9.9 and everything was fine until a reboot and all my pictures and music disappeared from my sd card...... Now mind you that I have flashed tons of roms .... But this has never happened to me ever...... The funny thing is that when I do a back up which I did minutes before my sd card went bad..... After my backup boots up I can see my pictures and music again.... But not for to long...... What can I do.........?

From https://twitter.com/clockworkmod
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
So even though CWM can read the SD card contents and install a zip file if needed it is a CWM problem? My CWM didn't update until today. I will reboot and see what happens.

I was having the same issue yesterday and installed a bunch of roms thinking it was CM9 but I looked and found that file strangely. Deleted after searching using my computer and POOF! all my stuff reappeared. Thanks!
Just an update. After the CWM update this morning and a reboot, the problem seems to be fixed now. The only other problem was that all my play lists on my music app were messed up. I had to restore data from Titanium Backup in order to get them to work properly. All good so far!

I'm sorry. It was Rom Manager that updated this morning, I believe. After that, a reboot, and everything worked well. I don't think it was CWM in itself. Crap, now I'm confused on what auto-updated this morning!

You likely have a corrupted file structure on the SD card...and may need to format the card using a PC and adapter...
That should fix the card...if not...the card may be damaged...g

I'm going to suggest the usual factory reset. I've had no issues with mine. Have you tried reading the card through a computer? Maybe something happen during the update that wiped it or messed up the format.

I think there are two problemz with the external SD card on this Lollipop build.
1. Permissions which I think the play store app fixes.
2. The format must be FAT32. I don't think I've seen a fix for this, unless you want to reformat your SD card.
My SD card did die as well. I'm not sure if it's related to this update or it was just it's time. Mine couldn't be read by anything. I have sent it in to Lexar for replacement.

Mine works fine. When I installed the 20b ROM, I did a complete wipe of everything in TWRP except external_SD. Installed the system, modem, boot and bootloader images and booted up.
Had issues with some apps like DoggCatcher being unable to write to external_SD despite that being the save data path. Ran the app I mentioned above and now all works fine.

It requires root though.
How big is that card, the only thing holding me back is the reports of 64G+ non FAT32 formatted cards not working... I use the phone as a FTP server or sorts and need larger file support than FAT32 has given me.
