Hi, I'm using Paranoid Android 3.10 (4.2.2.). My 32gb storage is only showing up as 2gb internal and seems to be mounted as sdcard/0.
Searched but can't seem to find how to mount the remaining storage.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you mean the app storage... it's 2gb! You can't change that...
Yes, when you flash floatshow's PA, it creates a /0/ folder on the root of the sdcard... I would recommend flashing xxxyz's PA as floatshow doesn't have his HOX anymore so the development has stopped there!
After you flash any other 4.2.2 rom, copy all files and folder from /sdcard/0/ to /sdcard/ so that all the apps get their data!

Hey there!
After being "diligent" and flashing over like 100 roms.. I noticed that some of these ROMS have changed my File management system.. so CWM can no longer restore my backups. Some of the ROMS added new folders.. so instead of my files being in the STORAGE folder then are now in 0/STORAGE.
Any way to reformat the file system to its original settings?

Cheers! Nothing to back up anymore.. ROM fried my ExternalSD .. nothing important on my internal SD. Appreciate your help
Going back to stock ROM until i figure out which one i want again. Was running AOKP. Went to flash the update with OTA and i lost everything. Oh well! Good thing nothing important is on there.. besides contact
That's what happens on 4.2 Roms. Your internal card is emulated in a folder , 0, for multi user support. If you use a root explorer, you will find your internal sd files in /data/media.
befor i flash a rom.. is it ok to format SD??? i want it all clean but does it mess up somthing when u got the folder /0 in android 4.2 ???? hope for a fast answear! tnx
and if i do this.. will i lose clw??? or somthing really imortent?
No! If you format your sdcard before flashing a ROM there will be no ROM to flash after the format.

except you can't mount storage on the nexus in recovery
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
Alternatively you could clean flash first and then format the sdcard after.

First question: If I wipe my internal storage will it mess up the ROM I am running (cm 10.1)? And where can I find the pictures taken with my camera if I'm using a file manager?

internal storage is your /sdcard. wiping that would have no effect on CM10.1 being installed or not.. altho it would wipe your /sdcard where all your pics/backsups/downloads and everything else are.
Pictures should be in a DCIM folder. If you upgrade to Jellybean it may add a /0/ to your sd card making the default sd directory now /sdcard/0/ instead of just /sdcard.
So if for some reason you cant view pics that you're sure were on there.. it may be because they are in /sdcard/DCIM and not /sdcard/0/DCIM
Okay thank you! So all of my TWRP backups of other Roms would be gone? Is there any way to put them on my computer before I do the wipe? Thanks for the help!
Just plug your phone into the computer and when asked select mtp. Gotta have lg drivers installed. I think
Well, almost no space left. After flashing a rom, using cwm, I found that my storage space is left to only 1 gb when it used to have 10 gb before. Searched xda for solutions but haven't found any ( I am a noob ). Any ways to fix this? Tried rebooting into recovery and wiping partition cache but no change. Also notice that there is now the sd card and a emulator folder. Can't tell if my contents are now in both and that is why space has reduced and if so, can I delete one of the folders? Or, if it is just a "shortcut" reading the same info...please assist. Thanks!

WRONG SECTION... You should post this in Q&A or related ROMs' thread.. For your problem i suggest you flash different ROM or go back to stock.
sdcard and emulator/0 are hard links. You cannot delete them. They are not duplicated files. Its the same files. If u delete files in one then its gone forever.

If you flashed the ROM coming from stock then your files will be duplicate, hence the lack of space, the stock ROM has all your files on the internal SD card, if you flash CM or any other ROM after android 4.2 due to the implementation of the multiuser feature, now your files are located within a folder named /0 and all those files are duplicated now, to solve your problem this is what I do, reboot to recovery as recovery can see all the files and connect your phone to the computer, move EVERYTHING from the internal SD card below the folder /0 to the folder /0, make sure that folder is empty if you just want to keep all your previous data. reboot when done and now check your internal sd space it should put a smile on your face.

apologies for wrong section...
Could you post some help on how to "reboot to recovery and then move everything..." I know how to boot into recovery (using cwm) and I connected to computer but nothing shows up on computer to move anything.

Hi, this is probably a noob question but i couldn't find the topic elsewhere on this forum . I just from stock based rom to 4.4 carbon rom. But when i do i loose all my saved data on internal storage,. luckily i did a backup that i copied to pc, so i could restore my previous system - and wiola - files are back! the same happened after 4.3 rom update. It seems that the newer androids change something, so that the system detects the interneal storage differently. Or is this just my phone? any way to prevent this from happening ----- or would my nest option be to backup and copy everything on my pc and then do a format of sdcard and copy everything back on when doing an update????

Hi, i'm on dokmo project 4.4 from stock and usually it don't delete the previous data from stock because it use a different folder to mount the internal storage, so things before going into 4.4 or 4.3 it would be still inside but is safer to do a backup just in case

I know the previous data is not deleted. The problem is that i cant access it. I installed carbon 4.4 rom again, and settings/storage it shows, that only 15GB of the internal storage are accessable... So around 10GB are missing... Is there anyway to get access to this space, or will i have to format de internal storage to get the full 25 GB space again?

I don't know if u can access it without root, but in root explorer if you look for sdcard folder it will show you two folders, legacy and 0, i think it was inside legacy
I saw those two folders in root Explorer, but they both contained the same content... And still couldn't access my old files.... Ended up backing all files to my PC, and format sd card from Cwm. Now I have full access to storage again
when you update from stock "4.1.2" to 4.2 or following the files will migrate to another folder,whit root browser check if your file are in the folder data/media/0 .
