Hello,
Just flashed the AOKP Jelly Bean rom. Everything is looking good, I got all the google apps. But the phone can't seem to find the external sd card (I have all my music on it as well as SMS backups).
When I plug the phone into the computer I can see and browse through the external SD card.
How do I make it so the phone can see the external sd card? I have tried mounting it in clockwork storage/mounts and it didn't work. I will have to revert to stock rom, if this rom doesn't support externals, that's so important.
You may have to try another Rom and see if you get the same thing. I'm on aokp and everything is fine. I have music and downloads on the external sd. This phone supports the external sd but it also doesn't. It can read from it but it doesn't save to it unless you have a mod installed.

Format it in your pc then put it in your phone. My 64gb works great on aokp
I would never release a rom that doesn't support external sdcards. it where i keep everything including my music. it works just fine.

I had the same confusion when I first installed AOKP. I was upgrading from stock ROM, which was Gingerbread originally, I think. Anyway, I found that the SD card is now located at "/mnt/emmc", which is a link to "/storage/sdcard1", so my SD card was still accessible but just under a different directory.
Try pointing any apps you're using that can't 'see' the external SD card to use the new Favourite or Directory to the new mount point "/mnt/emmc" instead of "external_sd".

Hi All,
Im currently running Android Revolution gingerbread. I've recently changed from cyanogen to this mod - so far sooo good.
I've had a bit of a look around for an answer to this question but can't find anything definite.
My SD card has rubbish all over it, i want a fresh card - how do i do this ?
If I wipe everything will my Rom run ok? Also i had backups using rom manager however no idea where they are stored....please help a noob like me!
Final question - best way to format the sd card?
If you want to be on safe side, connect your phone to PC and copy everything from your sdcard to your PC. (this is just to ensure that you have backup of your sdcard if you need to use something in future).
Then boot into CWM and format sdcard from there. Do not wipe everything (like system etc. just format your sdcard...Formatting your sdcard won't affect your ROM
There are some notes too about formatting SD Cards here.
(The 3rd option down in the list.)
I formatted my card in the settings on MIUI but now it wont even accept it. It keeps telling me to insert a card even if I try to mount. Cwm is just as bad, won't even let me mount the card there. You think it's damaged? I've only had it a week.

Alright, I'm getting a notification that says Blank SD card in CM7, and on my sense ROM it said phone storage not found. Under memory in settings, it also says /mnt/emmc is not found, and my music is missing. I think this is because I loaded my own ROM that had apps to ext and a couple other storage features in it. If I take all my folders off my sd card, format it to fat32 and put them all back on, will I lose any functionality? Also, is there any other way to fix this?

Backup what you have on your sd card to your computer and then format the card to what you need. Then, put everything from your backup back on to the sd card and you should be fine.

This happened to me once on CM7 as well...and unfortunately I lost everything.
It wasnt the SD Card though - I dont even think it was the emmc. It was some odd error that I can only fix by doing a RUU.
And even then I had to factory wipe it through the RUU like 3 times.
Wasnt a fun experience...almost took it back to the Verizon Store.
CM 7, as do all AOSP roms, interacts with sd during boot for stuff it needs. As such, sd reformat prior to AOSP rom boot will result in failure, bootloop among the issues. So, don't do that.
If sd fails/failed already, your rom won't boot anyway, so you have to download a sense rom like Virtuous, boot it, and go from there.

On the gingerbread leak is when it happened, and it said phone storage not found. It wouldn't let me install Apps though.

hey guys i have the custom rom paranoid android for my device but there seems to b a bug and i want to fix it but idk how some apps cant pick up my exsdcard for example the camera app saves pictures to internal and apollo and google play doesn't search my music and its bugging me there was an update in which i tought it will fix the problem but no its still there how can i fix this help me plzzzzzz. i have use media rescaner and all those apps one that worked for me was ics binder but my phone ran out of batery and when i rebooted the problem started happening again please help me.
I'm having the same problem as can't save camera photos to the external SD card. There is a setting in the camera app that says "store" not sure what it means but it doesn't seem to change anything.
One other thing I would like to confirm is under system settings is the "storage" setting in the prior ICS version you could format the external SD Card. Here format SD Card formats the internal SD Card. Can you format the external SD Card from settings? Not what I was expecting, guess that's why I backed everything up.
I'm running Paranoid 4.1.2 and it is fantastic and fast. I was on ICS previously and had these settings before.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but either way Paranoid is awesome!
Thanks for your advice.
Save camera pics to external Sd card
I guess tagging onto 2 week old thread with no responses was not the best idea
Looks like saving camera pics to external sd card is not an option. I even downloaded
Camera from ver. 4.2, same thing. Only solution I can make work is use a different camera app
than google's.
Still not sure why 4.1.2 does not have an option to format the external sd card just the internal.
Still like Paranoid, seems very stable.
Hi, can I use SD Card as default storage? How? I have a 64 GB SD Card, but every App/Games data is in external storage(which have only 10 GB, and now it is full), when I move Android folder from external storage to SD card, every game stops working, because can't find data and try downloading it again to external storage. I try several app for moving to the SD card, but without luck, Is there any solution? Thank you.
app removed sorry
Why would you think that just moving an app's data would be okay? How on earth would the app know where you moved its files to?
Have you tried Apps2SD?

Yes, without luck. I move it to the SD card, but its same as when I do it with file explorer, game canť find data and trying downloading it again..
Are you running a custom ROM? I thought from your signature you were on Viper. Then I realized its not a Viper version number (7.0.0) that applies to this phone.
I think the SD card fix needs to be applied for Apps2SD to work, but most (if not all) custom ROMs should already have the SD card fix implemented.

Yes, sdfix is aplied in rom (Viper 3.1.0.) I see in some LG device, it have in setting/storage when people can select default storage. I need set a sd card as default, but can't find how.
Hi everyone. I've been dealing with this for a few days now and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I'm currently running Wicked S5 Xperience with PhilZ recovery and CWM bootloader. My permissions file is written appropriately to allow apps to write to the external SD, and I manually went into ES File Explorer and changed the permissions appropriately. I'll take a picture, it saves to my external. Ill create a folder on external and it sticks. When I reboot, the folder is gone and the pictures disappear. I've also deleted pictures from the external, and upon reboot they come back. I've unmounted the external when flashing the ROM. I've formatted my internal SD. I've flashed the permissions file, tried Play Store apps, and manually editing the permissions.xml. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why this is happening. It's like my phone is forgetting what happened on the external when I reboot...
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Has this happened with other ROMs as well? Like Wicked X or Tribute? Have you flashed any AOSP ROMs lately? Have you tried another external SD card to see if it may be a bad card?
Well I was on Pac which was AOSP and the permission changes didn't make ANY affect at all. ES was saying I didn't have any write permissions on the external no matter what I did. Stock rooted does the same thing as S5 Xperience, even though I'm using the "allowed" Samsung file explorer.
The card worked in the past, it's loaded with pictures and documents. It's a 64 GB SanDisk high capacity... Or whatever it's called... Its been forever since I looked at the card.
I was originally trying to put Wicked X and I got stuck in a boot loop while trying to install the Xposed framework, and the zip deleted itself from my internal storage. I thought I had downloaded S5 Xperience so I downloaded that. Everything installed fine. I'll download X and see of that changes anything, but each time I formatted and reflashed S5 Xperience I've been having the same issue. The users in the S5 Xperience thread gave me some suggestions, but they haven't worked so far.
If you're sure the SD Card itself is good, all I can recomend is odin back to 100% stock then see if the problem persists.

I'm going to reformat the card first before going back to complete stock. I'm sure it has something to do with the way I rooted or something.
It's the card... Its bad. It's not old enough, though, which upsets me...
