So MIUIv4.1.2 was just released for our phones.
I have heard that the external mount is wonky, but somehow, people can see their sd card in file explorer. However, there are still many who cannot. The temporary solution is using Directory Bind and bind the target directory to a directory on the internal sd. On my phone, that temporary is not working at all. Anyone experiencing the same issue or have come up with another workaround?
This is only a pet peeve because I enjoy listening to music on my phone. It is not a huge deal.
Thanks!
did you update? this has already been fixed no need for directory bind... only issue now is usb mount the computer will only see internal. The music player should see both internal and external now.

weird... it isn't showing my attachments.. but yes! i am updated and I even wiped the old version, cache, data and all just to make sure it was a clean install.
When I said nevermind... I meant the thumbnail attachments, not my music and pictures. Doh... sorry about the confusion

Well that's the other thing... in file explorer I can click the pulldown and see "two" SD card directories; one that is my internal and one the is my external. Yet, for some reason the music app and gallery will not scan it.

You put .nomedia files anywhere to get rid of the media scanner bug? Because that sounds like the issue.

I have a 16G memory card and it reads 12G used and 3.3 G remaining. I have about 3G if games from gameloft and barely 1G of pics 3.4G of backup data. When I select to see what apps are on sdcard it had a list of games and everyone of them gives me the option to move to usb storage. I've
Deleted a lot of stuff especially videos and pics and it seems like my memory card its congested. Do I need to format it to get it empty?

I'd hookup to PC and browse through files there, delete things you don't need like old roms and leftover garbage from old apps and see if that helps. Old nandroids take up a lot of space too.

Just google lost.dir and see what pops up. From my understanding in doing that a while back, this is kind of like a recycling bin area. I'm sure someone else on here can explain it in greater detail. I check that folder and delete it every now and again when I see it filling up. The phone will create that folder again on the next reboot.

The only folder on your sd card u need is your Android folder cuz thats wat holds your data...

I was trying to download an application from the market and it said that the app couldn't install on USB storage or sd card. I checked with ES file explorer and found the folder usbStorage is read only. How can I make it writable?

Are you rooted? I know in root explorer you can change to r/w easily, it's right on top of every screen within the app

I am rooted, I'll give root explorer a try thanks

It says that it's r/w but I'm still having the problem.

Your sd will be mounted under Emmc and that is a problem with aosp right now ....maybe remove your Sd and try to install to internal but several games won't work on aosp .....like NBA jam won't install on aosp or tw for me ....but will on GB
On tw it's sdcard/external_SD

What is Emmc and tw. I'm on venum ice not aosp if that matters. I also have the external_sd which is where everything on my sd card is. I think the usbStorage is a leftover from another rom

Unmount or remove your external sd card and try to install the app again. Might need to clear the stores data also.
Thank you epix4g and bigtoysrock. Taking out the sd card worked

Ok, right now I am running AOKP. just wondering, if I transfer music onto my external SD card, how do I get it to work on this rom? I search for the external card using Astro but dont find it.
I am currently waiting for my SD card to arrive so I can't confirm yet, but I believe you need to create a "Music" folder in the root of the SD card and place your music in there.
Edit: music in the internal sdcard isn't being read for me actually. External is fine... I just realized this haha.

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.

I thought so too. A reboot doesn't matter when it comes to that. I got so mad at my phone when it was a simple solution... -__-

I can't get any music player to recognize and use music from the music folder of my Micro SD card. It just shows a few songs that are on my internal SD. Astro File Manager won't even pay them for me. Is there anything I can do to get my music to show up? If it helps, I'm on the M1 build.

Perhaps files became corrupt? Try downloading playing something new.

It worked for the most part. I had to download a song from the Web on my phone, then re copy the songs from my laptop to the SD card. But it all ended up working that way. Thanks for the help!
