i just installed cynogenmod 10 on my galaxy w today
when i checked the storage, it appears to be 2 internal storage partition.
i installed some apps, then move them to SD card when there is no SD card on my phone.
so, the apps goes from the default internal storage to the other partition.
when i mounted my SD card, 3 partition appears, the 2 internal partition and an SD card partition,
the SD card partition is greyed out.
I repeated repeat the same process of moving apps from phone to SD card but still, there isnt any change on the SD card when i checked it on my comp.
the apps still goes to the other partition of internal storage
anyone has idea to solve this issue?
Thanks
i have the some probleme :/
With CM10 this is normal. If you want your external micro SD card to be used as phone storage, download and flash the ROM in this link.....

It is a modified version of ARCO's CM10 (alpha 6 kernel 3) that has the vold fstab (storage mounts) already swapped. (modification courtesy of Temenalie)
Flash it as normal (wipe data, cache and dalvic. Flash ROM and gapps) then reinstall your apps and move them to SD card.....job done.....
Just make sure that the micro SD card has been inserted into the phone BEFORE you flash the ROM.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You know, if you're using TWRP, you can just copy vold.fstab from the External SD into /system

Hello,
I am having a bunch of issues with reception/call echo issues while using all JB roms. I wanted to know if formatting my internal sd card and reinstalling a jb rom would help with my issues? I've never reformatted the internal sd card before because i'm worried about bricking my phone/wiping out files needed in my OS. What i really want is to clean up my internal sd card and only have files that are needed to flash a new zip/rom. Can anyone give me specific instructions on how to format internal sd card while still being able to put a rom back on my internal sd card so that i can flash roms like before. Thanks
You really don't need to format your internal storage. Try just wiping/formatting data, wipe cache, formatting system, then flash your ROM again. Let me know if that solves the problem
Ive installed pacman rom on my note 2 but the sd status appeared as damaged and required a format .
I didn't format and went to recovery and restored the stock rooted rom 4.1.2 that I have backed up and it backed up successfully.
But the sd card appeard as damaged also in the stick rom .
I have backed up the backup files that were in the card , I can add photos and videos later .
Is there a way to fix the card without formating it?

Try a card reader.

I believe your sd card is 64gb and formatted in exFAT.
Pacman ROM is based on AOSP/CM (CMIIMW) therefore exFAT is not supported. Try to reformat you sdcard in FAT32 format (you will loss capability to store >4gb file in your sdcard) but it works.
same problem
I had just the same situation with Paranoid Android and 64Gb exFAT formatted card several days ago. I knew that PA (like any AOSP ROM) can't see exFAT filesystem. But I only wanted to test PA for a few days so I decided not to format card or remove it from the phone. I did nothing with the card in the PA ROM. Nevertheless I found my card damaged after returning to stock 4.1.2 ROM (just like ahmedss79 did). Neither Android nor windows could read my card.
But AROMA Filemanager saw the card and could read and write it. I used PhilZ Touch CWM with Aroma Filemanager and copied all important files from sd card to internal storage.
And when I opened my "damaged" sd card in partition manager (in Windows, using a card reader) I noticed that it has two partitions: small 12Mb FAT before big 59 Gb unknown partition. I guess this FAT partition was automatically created by PA after its fist boot and exactly this FAT partition made the card damaged as it wiped all file tables, located in the first couple of Mb of the original exFAT partition.
Is there any way to format to FAT32 using any application on an Android device?
I'm running PACMan at the moment, which seems to have the most features.
I have no hardware that can read my SD card on a PC at the moment.
I'm currently at work and don't feel like waiting 8 hours to do it at home, plus, there some compatibility issues formatting FAT32 on Windows 8
Hey guys, first post on xda!
Today I rooted my phone for the first time ever (got my note II for 3 weeks now) and I though it'd be cool to install a custom rom. I went for Slimbean 4.2.2 .
I installed slimbean and slim gapps and everything is working fine, except that it doesnt recognize my external sd card. In the system settings the option to mount it is grey, and the file manager doesnt detect it either. However when I boot into clockwork mod recovery then I can see the ext sd and install stuff from it (I installed slimbeans and slim gapps from here). There was one time where for an unknown reason it did give me the option to mount my ext. sd card but when I clicked it it said that it was damaged and had to be formatted. Ofcourse I sad no because the ext sd card has all my titaniumbackups on it... Also when I plug my gn2 in my pc I don't get to see the ext sd card either, only the phone's storage.
How can I fix slimbeans not seeing my ext sd card and make it auto mount on startup?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try reformatting it using gparted.
-Back all the files up onto your PC
-Download and burn gparted live CD
-Boot into gparted, right click on sd, click delete, then right click and choose new, and format it as fat32

I found out the problem was the sd card being formatted as exFAT. Formatted it to FAT32 with a tool and it works now!
how do i format the internal sdcard? im using cwm and that thread says its not possible. figured since it was internal after a wipe it would also clear it.
In "mount and storage" sHould be an option to format internal sd card (it might be listed as sd card only) Make sure you have all the files you need to flash on external sd card and your recovery is able to see your external sd card (our have ADB working just in case)
Ive always flashed roms from my extsd, but the one I had died, cant get a new one till mon. Can I flash from the phone sd, Without causing problems? If so what should I wipe?

Yes you can flash from internal sd card. Same procedure as if flashing from ext sd card.

Hi there. You would in cwm touch choose install zip from internal instead of install zip from external sd card option. Cwm touch is pretty straight forward. Follow the choices. Also make sure you do your nandroid backup before flashing anything. You would want to save that backup to your external sd card when you get it to save device memory. A few backups on internal storage will eat up ALL your internal storage space on the phone so sd card is important to have. If your using cwm you MUST in settings specify for backups to go to EXTERNAL sd card other wise by default they go to internal storage.word of warning this will quickly use all your device storage so make certain once you get your sd to fix the settings so it will go by default to EXTERNAL sd card rather than internal device storage. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes
