Memory problem

When u look in the settings>storage I can see my phone and sd card storage. When I look in the phone storage through settings it shows a bunch if files that show up in root explorer as my sd card files. I don't see the same directories as my HTC phone had for storage. So /sdcard is my sd card. What directory is the phone storage under? Just / or?

Is the directory that root explorer pulls up by default the phone storage?

mnt/extsdcard is what I was looking for. Fyi if anyone needs it.

Is the way samsung name them which sucks but if you want to moved just files between sd card and internal, use the stock file manager the comes with TW

SD card is your internal memory and if you go to mnt SD cardext that's your external SD card

If you're running an AOSP rom it needs to be formatted to FAT32

[Q] EXT2/3/4 for external SD card?

Can I pre-format the external SD card for EXT2/3/4 filesystem and use it in stock Note 2?
To format I can use a card reader and Linux desktop computer say...
Also what would happen with accessing such a card from PC (Windows, Linux?)

I think you can format sd card with phone itself if that's what you are asking.

Seems like the phone formats it with exFAT or FAT32 only depending on the ROM.
And the formatting is not a problem, I can always format from Linux.
The Q is how would the phone react? And what about accessing the SD from PC?

Well testing it yourself wouldn't hurt.

Get a modified vold.fstab, they will swap the memory so the SD card you have is usable

Always format any SD card in the device in which it will be used. This will always work and ensures that the SD card has the correct format for the device.

Works best for me when I have troubles with my SD card.

I always format from the pc in fat 32, the only problem is that you won't be able to write files bigger than 4GB into the sd
