Downloading to SD and phone - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys I noticed all of my flashable downloads end up in my internal sd and was wondering how I go into my phone to set it up for the zip files to go to my SD card? Thanks

If you are downloading using the browser, open browser and go to menu> settings> default storage and select memory card. Most apps and stuff have a setting to change the location of where everything ends up

You know how the devs say to download the zip to your sd card? That is what I'm talking about.. Vs the zips going to my internal. Are you referring to that too?

Yes, it just depends what browser you use to download the file. If youvare using the stock browser just look for what I said.

SD Card won't read on Epic 4G

I turned my phone off and on and now my SD card isn't being read. My phone says it's mounted and I can go into it with Root Explorer and mess with anything and everything, but when I go into Apollo or Google Play Music, no music is shown, and when I go into gallery, no pictures are shown. How do I fix this?
Check for a .nomedia file on the root of your sd card.

I found it and deleted it, but no luck. Still can't find music files and pictures in Gallery.
Did you reboot after and verify it was gone? Also look in your music and picture directories for that file and remove it. Then reboot.

[Q] Flash able touchwiz 5 launcher for 4.1.2 JB?

I've flashed both and went to the All apps tab in Manage Apps, and usually its by my Touchwiz 5.0 theme installed but it wasn't. So I cleared default for Trebuchet, and I pressed the home button and it went back to Trebuchet, it didn't give me an option to select another launcher.

you need to delete trebucket.apk and all live wallpapers and livewalpaper chooser from /system/app and then move apollo music player as a user app to install this.(frees up enough space to install )

Ah that kind of scares me a bit XD. I always think I'm gonna brick my phone from the smallest things. Live wallpapers I can delete because I never use them, except Phase Beam rarely. Its just what if I install the launcher then decide to change it.
Also if I delete Trebuchet, how will I access apps for Root Explorer or something? Or how will I get trebuchet back? Can I just reflash the nightly ROM? Idk I'm just mehh

nova should be installed, but a simple reboot recovery>restore will fix your problems. its worth it
after you uninstall the system apps reboot recovery and flash the tw 5 launcher zip when you reboot itll ask your default launcher
find the videos in system/media/video and delete them
Sent from my AT100 using xda app-developers app
OK just ONE more question, for the TW5, which launcher? The 1st link or 2nd link?
EDIT: Nvm and I finally got my phone Touchwizzy! Sounds lame but...thanks Andy_nu!!!
Now of I can change the icons to Touchwiz, I'm set

when you go to settings storage does it show up? if so its reading it.. if not you may need to format it through the device or on the computer. if it does show in settings storage look in files under mnt\extsdcard and thats where it is..

it should be automatically downloaded straight to it... if not go to your browser settings and change it or whatever app you are using change it there...

i dont think you can...ive tried using 3rd party browsers as well...even ones that prompt you where to save the file..and browsing the sd card isn't an option..i just download it to my download folder then move it afterwards
however obviously i havent tried them all..ive used stock, chrome and opera

More information, what are you trying to download, what browsers have you tried??
You always write these incomprehensible posts and never give any info.

Usually a different browser will work.
Or search play store for a downloader, it will strictly download the link you put in.
If it's a rom, just download on pc

Hello sir, try changing the settings in the browser to where actual files are downloaded to. If it says save to memory card change to internal, or vise versa. Hope it helps. The option is "default storage"

What files from what app? This is sort of like calling a mechanic and telling him your car won't start, then asking him to fix it over the phone. Please give more details. Also did you try any of the browser suggested?

What rom....and what apps2sd scripts are you using if any ?
Changes you've made recently have caused this ???
Updates perhaps ???
My thoughts are leaning toward applications that point to downloads being force placed to external storage...
And the default is internal storage..
Something is likely causing a conflict in the mapping before the download starts...
If you are not opposed to testing, you should revert to a known rom setup that worked..
Or if needed...restore the device totally if the issue cannot be found...
Scripts are often hard to track down ...and I think one of them...or at least parts are present that prevent the correct mapping to occur...
Just my thought at 3 a.m.
So go easy on me....LOL...g
