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.

Do any of the current AOSP ROMs support writing to the internal (8GB) flash memory from the camera? If not, could someone who's more knowledgeable about this tell me if it's even possible in the future?
Currently I know CM does. At least nightly 168 or something like that.

I flashed the latest CM, and I can't figure out how to make photos save to the internal flash. Help?

Im sorry i missread your question.sorry for any inconvenience. I don't think you can see through internal memory the phone app does not support it. At least in my version.

Ah. Oh well. I guess I'll just use the emmc for music and get a bigger SD card.

Hello all. I have recently started receiving low storage warnings even though bit appears I have plenty of space with both internal and external memory.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

I don't know what is going on, but that image shows you only have 401 MB available.
Something is chewing up your storage space or at least making your phone think it is almost gone.
Do you have a bunch of nandroid backup's saved to your internal drive or something?

Yeah, I'm thinking you have either a lot of zips or you have nandroids on there that are taking up space. Check out
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
It will give you a visual display of the folders that are using the most space and what files are the culprits.

Thank you both your recommendations I used the supplied app and solid explorer and I was able to find several gigs of picasa 3d gallery cache files and similar situations with ROM Manager "blobs" seems to be resolved now.
Wonder why it occurred in the first place..odd
Thanks

I agree that it likely has something to do with those backups. I downloaded the app but can't seem to figure out where space is being taken up. I transfer all my backups to my external sd, but don't know what the hell is taking my space up.

Those 'blobs' are where CWM stores its backup files from what i've read, personally i use TWRP so i can't confirm this.

+1 twrp. Im a former cwm touch user absolutely hated the .92gb backups from cwm. Now I can have multiple backups on hand without sacrificing storage space.

I had the same problem, I re flashed cm10 4 times and still only had about 500mb of available space on my internal
turns out when you select "wipe/factory reset" on CWM Recovery it doesn't actually delete everything..
DiskUsage was the perfect tool for the job, there was 6 gigs of leftover gameloft stuff on the phone, removed the files and now im a happy camper with plenty of free space!
I seem to be having an issue which started just recently anytime I flash a new rom or nightly release of AOKP or CM10 all the content in my DCIM/Camera seems to be gone the content in the thumbnails folder is still there but the photos at completely all gone any ideas what could be causing this issue? Thank you in advance.
The photos are gone in your internal sdcard?

well I just checked all images are gone... internal and external photos.. images..wallpapers... just gone very strange plugged into pc and I see some of the files there for the images and the file size but can't copy any of them and on the phone the folders are just empty
Maybe you could get lucky using a data recovery tool on your sdcard. There should be some free/trial ones on the net. You just gotta search em out.
As for why....no idea. Obviously it shouldn't be doing that! Maybe the updater-script does something like format data or something...though tgat diesnt make sense either....has anyone else in the rom thread reported this too?

Actually someone said that they had the same issue with AOSP roms and started using quickpic instead and solved the issue
I don't understand how an app could stop the files from getting deleted.

Indeed I mean my new pictures I'm taking seem to be staying but everything all of my 700 images and pictures are gone nothing left which is very strange how only all the image media got wiped on external and internal sd
I don't see why or how but is it possible they were somehow actually stored in the apps data/cache folder and just linked to the sdcard??
It seems far fetched but its the only real explanation I could come up with other than something being corrupt and not working as intended.....
That's an odd one man.
Have you looked into any data recovery tools? I've heard of some success with them dealing with flash media like sdcards.

I'll look into the recovery tool and I was thinking the same with it being tied to the cache as well just really strange never had this issue before
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!!

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?
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:
