Got a quick question here hopefully someone can help out with.
Currently running CodefireX Nov 17 (Latest version it seems) on a Bell Galaxys3.
I just got a 32Gig San disk SD card (Black Friday sale) So I put it in my phone everything works I can see it in root file explorer as well as others I have moved my music to it no problem. I want to have my pictures save to the SD card as well so I checked under the settings and it isn't an option in this version it seems.
So I did some research and found that changing the Galary2.apk file will fix this. So I changed out the file with the 1.63 version I believe it was rebooted and my camera app and gallery app are gone. I can't even go to the app section in settings and clear data. Rename the flie back reboot everything is happy again but still obviously no SD option.
So am I missing something on that or is there another way to do this? I have a backup for the AOKP that has the SD card option but I am liking codefireX a bit more, (Little to much unicorn swagger for my liking)
thanks
I swap the my 32 gb sdcard with ExSdcard using this mod; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849857. I am using Smanager with a stock, rooted, rom. You need to install BusyBox from PlayStore.
Biggest problem now is what to do with the real Sdcard!

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 all,
Yesterday installed cyanogenmod 9 on my phone and everythings works correctly except for a very import thing, my sd card.
My phone recognizes it and also tells me how much storage i have left. But when i want to use an application such as the camera it says there is no sd card. So i checked what could be the problem and the only thing i could find that my sd should be FAT32 and it is, so i dont know what the problem is.
Can someone please help me cause if dont have the sdcard function i will probably have to switch back to stock rom
what your CM9 version ? RC6 ?
I have same problem, i installed the eol version of CM9.
If i go to settings/memories the sd card looks mounted, and i can access it in explorer through /mnt/external_sd, but then i cant move apps in it, and camera says theres no sd card.
I tried to use an app to link the folders, but i only managed to see the music on sd card with apollo. The camera (thats what i care most) wont work, pls help us
If you do not have swapped your sdcards and in the camera app it´s set to store your pics on SDcard, then they will be storen on the "internal" SD. So either set it in the camera app to external sd or swap the sdcards. For moving apps or installing them on your SD it´s anyway better to swap.
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...
Probably an easy fix, but I am at a loss. I flashed Paranoid Android 5.0, re-rooted with chainfire, got su and busybox all up to date and started rebuilding my tablet. When I open gallery it says "no external storage available" then closes, and I can't download anything from the internet because all my apps are trying to use an sd card, however play store downloads apps just fine. But I guess the new PA 5.0 moved my old files to a different folder in internal storage, and I can't point any apps to that directory, and the new emulated SD folder just doesn't work.
edit: still not fixed, and Google hasn't been much help.
the twrp manager app ran an sd card patch it said it needed, could that be the issue?
every app that allows you to manually point to a directory only lets me point at the sd card, strange... we don't even have an sd slot??
I've already done all the simple stuff, clear cache/data factory reset/reflash rom, nothing works
Anyone know what's going on here?
In not on PA to but I have the same problem. I can not download anything to my tablet and my computer is broken so I have been sick with this situation for months. I how there is an easy solution.

Hi,
I've updated to CM 12 Nightly ROMs (currently 12-20150216-NIGHTLY-a5), with a clean install, to get away from the restrictions on SD cards in 4.4.4.
Although I do seem to have SOME access to my card at seemingly random times, I mostly do not. I've seen nightlys which stated they've fixed SD card issues and have updated to them, and for the past couple of weeks, I've been updating multiple times a week. But at present, I cannot even move what seems to be less that 2MB in most cases to the SD card, even with a root-enabled file manager (Yes I am rooted). Do I still have to edit user rights for my owner account?
I've gone into my app preferences and chose the SD card as my preferred install location as well, but it seems that this option will only install to the emulated/sdcard0 directory. I get the same result if I use the app manager and choose "Move to SD Card".
I constantly have to purge info from my internal memory just to even be able to update apps. I have about 54GB free on my SD card according to my phone. the 10 or so gigabytes used are from a manual backup that I had performed before flashing, using my PC only.
Could anyone please help me with this?
Please? Anyone?
Hmm,
Seems most of my issue was fixed just by using ES File Manager instead of CM File Manager. I still don't have much space at all to do anything special, nor can I install Apps onto my real SD Card...
