I have read and reasearched. Im sorry for the bad question. I guess what i was asking is why they did it this way. I font mind it using it like that it works just fine. Both of my file explorers find both cards witch gives me more room for movies n music.. i guess i was just curious why they did it that way.. but thanks for the directiin to the other post.

To be honest i actually dont know, their are claims that its googles fault, or sammy's fault or even the ICS software thats installed....each points fingers at each other, cant say for sure other then the post i showed u that would be the answer, but other then that, all the card is good for is to store ure movies, pictures, CWM nandroids on it so u dont have to install em on ure internal card. so yes ure right thats all its good for, if u decide not to go the swap ext2sdinternalsd way.

I have installed the RickyWyatt Kavana V20 ROM and I am wonderring if any one if experiencing problems with scrolling through the main screen or selecting thing's because every time I scroll I have to wait a second or two for the phone to scroll.
Hopefully there is a way to fix this problem because the ROM look's awesome but it is really slow for me.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked the memory? I believe that Ricky referenced this when he put out Rom 20
Thank you in advance.

You will need to ask Ricky but I believe that the answer is you have to many panels and need to disable some of them.
Or... overclock your CPU a little bit. Look in the Tools folder for the OMAP clock program. I'd recommend about 204 for good battery life and a little increase in perfomance. Go 240 if you want more performance but shorter battery life
where about's is the Tool's folder I can't seem to find it on the phone?
On the Start menu ?!?
isnt it "accesories" in the start menu?
Well in my version of Rick's ROM it's in "My Tools".... either way... it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to find an installed application in the start menu.
not tryying to sound like a dumb ass but in Accessorie's it's not there either (I am usseing V20)

Never mind I found it sorry I was blind I guess.
Also I am wondering how to change the menu's around (if possible) it's not that I am to lazy to figure it out myself but I am worried I might mess around with something I shouldn't be messing around with. What I mean about changing the menu's is how to add and delete blade's from the main screen.
Thank you guy's for your time it is very much apprecciatted.
Also can I put a SDHC card in my phone? How about a 4 GB SD card or is 2GB the limit?
sorry I had to repost but I have one more question, is setting the frequency to 288 alright for my phone? Is there any chance it will mess it up?
It will lockup your phone and never recover. Stay below 250...
p.s. Rearanging "blades" and start menu folders may be a little over your head right now. Do a little more reading first....
And yes you can use SDHC cards in your phone...

I wouldnt push the envelope of oveclocking your phone past 240 or 252mhz
some people can get away with higher numbers it seems. others have issues with the phone locking up and then wont boot up...forcing a hard reset. so be cautious if you venture past 252mhz
Isnt that what I said two posts above ?!
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP MAN!!! It is very much appreciatted. Before you gave me your reply I set it to 280 and it messed up but I was able to change it back (LUCKY) with out a hard boot. I am not questioning your answer but are you positive (I don't want to buy it and then realize it doesn't work) that I can use a SDHC card (4GB) because I emailed some one who was selling it on EBay and he said it doesn't work on my phone?
Thank you once again.

The eBay guys phone is most likely NOT running WM6.1. You should have no problems running 4GB in a Dash with WM6.1.

I am not so worried about running a 4GB card but more worried about it not working because it's a SDHC and not just a SD Card?
Just curious since CM has this function... Being a new Amon-Ra user this seems like something that would make the users life much easier. I previously has all my custom things in a folder on my sd called EvoDev and roms in one folder, zip mods in another, etc.... I now must leave all my stuff on root of sd or move back and forth with a file manager if I want to do anything.
I'm not mad or anything, just curious as to why Amon-Ra doesn't have this ability. Anyone know?
P.S. - Sorry if this is wrong section but I didn't view it as a general Q&A... It was more specific to a function of a program that is used daily in development so I thought this would be the appropriate place to ask.

i wish it had this funcion. this is the only reason why i do not use it.
because he hasn't implemented, 2.0 is on the horizon, there is potential its going to be implemented, however something so simple can easliy be worked around
2.0 can but amon-ra hasn't ported it over to the evo yet.

Are you saying there is a way to make it see past the root? I can't figure it out. Please elaborate..
If you are just saying it is easy to work around as in it is easy to just move my files to root of sd.... Well sure, it isn't hard to do..... but it does take more time.... And say you are doing something complicated requiring flashing a few things one after the other... Well... That becomes a bit of a PITA if you ask me... Especially after using CM for so long....
I like Amon-Ra better actually... Aside from the lack of seeing past root of SD...
As I said, I'm not mad, just wanted to know if maybe a change was in the works or if anyone knew a way to force seeing further.
no way around it, but if you are by a computer, enabling USB mode allows you to mount the SD card and manage it while in recovery.

Ahhh, see I didn't know that since I just started using. Is that what that first option line is for? I think it has 2 letters then a dash and two more letters?
Thanks for the info.
yup, whatever says usb, you hit it, connect up your phone and its just like hard drive mode when your phone is on, life saver especially if you jack up something or wipe everything but forgot to move a ROM to the root of your HD

Yep, I always use usb-ms mode when I do some flashes/updates since it's quick and easy. The file explorer would be a bonus, but amon ra is great the way it is. As long as I have my nandroid backup includes my 4G RSA keys then that's all that matters.

Does it back upo 4G-RSA keys automatically or do I have to do a separate backup for that?
i'm sure it will be implemented in the evo build soon. just be patient.
not to sound anal but unless it involves added 400 extra lines of code why not ad this basic feature from the get go?
I mean my sd was nicegly organized, now i have all they files jammed into the root of my sc card. Making trying to find one to flash out of gillions very hard
This might be just my good luck, or a quirk of the original stock ROM, or maybe my own ignorance; wasn't sure, so I thought I'd inquire.
On the stock EB13, my camcorder couldn't record more than 30 seconds or so of 720p footage before timing out. I poked around and initially folks indicated that I'd need to get a faster miniSD card, something Class 6 or up. So I just put it aside.
After flashing to the Syndicate Frozen 1.1.0 ROM, on a whim I tried the 720p video recording again . . . and it didn't stop or shut down like before. Kept right on going, in fact.
Now, my question: is this a side-effect of EXT4 vs. RFS? Or formating the SD card? Or something in the ROM itself? I ask because I intend to use the phone as my emergency back-up camcorder . . . I'd like to know if I should go ahead and invest in a faster SD card, or if it's going to be fine as-is.
Thanks!
It was very likely fixed by formatting your SD card. I've never had problems with 720p video (well, on the SyndicateROM series, anyway), and I always format my SD card when there's some kind of oddity that's pointing ten fingers at it. Video failure, Gallery or Camera lockups... they're most often systems of an SD card needing a swift kick in the pants.
Glad it's working well for you!

Do you just save your pictures/files to, say, desktop, and then format the SD card? And then flash everything again? I've never done that, so curious as what needs to be done after.

All you have to do is copy what you want off of the card, format it, and copy it back on. No need to reflash anything.

Actually, those banners denote ACS members only, so if you could remove it, that would be great. Our older userbars are static - if you'd like, grab one from here. Thanks for your support!

It is, I'm really pleased with it . . . but all the more frustrated with Samsung as a result, if it makes any sense.
Now I'm torn on my next phone: do I get an HTC, which has a decent track record of support . . . or do I get a Samsung knowing the Development community will fix any problems they seem incapable of addressing?
Hi folks. First post and I need your help.
I formatted the microSD card that came in with the phone (because of being a noob and clueless) and now the wallpapers and themes from LG are gone. Will doing a hard reset bring them back? The phone is a little wonky since I did that but not to a point that it is unusable.
Thanks.
No. Resetting the phone will not bring them back.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA App
Thanks. I've contacted LG about it, though their reply was prompt, their solution was not the one I need.
This is what I have in my card right now;
-android_secure
-Android
-bluetooth
-calendar
-DCIM
-download
-droidhen
-GOLauncherEX
-Lost.dir
-music
Can someone please verify what I am missing? And maybe I can download them from you.
Thanks.
Edit: nevermind
Thanks for the effort nonetheless.

I haven't formatted my SD card since I got my phone (just picked it up less than a week ago) and I don't see any theme-related files on it.
I am not sure what I actually lost but I cannot find the few wallpaper that came stock. But we can put this to bed now that I know that I still have the stock launcher. I thought I lost that, too.
Thanks for trying to help me out.

just download better wallpapers
LG NITRO-N XDA APP
Yep. I have some awesome wallpapers (some went away when I formatted) downloaded and those HD photos are really good on this phone.
It might be a little late for this reply, but anyway, make sure you download your wallpapers to your internal memory, so when you happen to format your sd-card again for whatever reason, it will remain with your phone, unless of course, if you hard-reset, then you will loose everything. My advise would be to backup your sd-card to your computer so that you don't have to waist time with downloading or even loose personal wallpapers/media.

I learned my lesson. Thanks.
so this is pretty much how it is, many apps can not read from sd card. es file explore for example can, and from there i can look at pictures, play music from my folders etc. but if i use winamp or apollo, they can't see my music. same thing for the gallery, it can't see my pictures even though i know they are there. i've been trying to fix this for hours! i've restored to back ups of when i know they worked, but somehow they still don't! i've tried reinstalling the apps, i've tried multiple roms, and it's the same problem every time some help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
