Everytime I open the camera app it just repeats insert an sdcard and nothing happens when I do also when I go to storage in settings it force closes.
Im running aokp with cwm6 b3 version
More info please.
Do you have an external SD card as well?
Do you get this problem when running the stock ROM or other TW-based ROMs?
It may just be that the directories are messed up or you have a bad flash. Your Android system probably has the internal sd card as /emmc , and most apps need it to be /sdcard for it to be recognized. You can switch it in the storage settings, but since yours FC's, I'm assuming you have a bad flash.

I would try running fix permissions first to see if that helps it. If not I'd re download the rom, wipe and re flash. That should take care of it.

That's as much info as ik because its my as phone and he doesn't live with me but ill see if I can get him to run fix permissions
EDIT: he has an external sdcard but his phone doesn't use as because it can't mount it and he doesn't want to format it because he has pictures of it

it can't mount the SD card? have him pull everything off the sd caerd on the computer and reformat it as FAT32 file partition or once everything is backed up put it in the phone and let the phone reformat it. then put all the pictures/files back on the sdcard.
Fix Permissions: Reboot into recovery, under advanced fix permissions.
THE FIX IS BELOW (it's the quote)
My description of my problem is below but, first off I want to say that I have made several searches on google, androidcentral, and xda about this issue and have found no solution. I have also attempted to trouble shoot the problem myself by fixing permissions, wipes, flashing backups, deleting really old backups, etc. I even purchased SD Maid Premium and deleted duplicates and ran the appcleaner.
I am running CM10. I use Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery Mod to backup my system and apps regularly. I was running CM10 with KT Kernel (and used KTweeker to undervolt my processor) but recently flashed a new CM10 nightly (with a fully factory data, cache, and davilk cache wipe) and kept the "baked-in" Cyanogen Kernel.
I got a notification that my internal storage was close to full (this happened right after making a backup using CWM, I was running CM10 and KT kernel at the time and had 4 additional older nandroid backups). So I went through my apps, pictures, videos, old backups etc and deleted a bunch of stuff. But I still had the storage full notification. I then wiped data, cache, and davilk cache, and flashed the latest CM10 d2att nightly and gapps4.1. Before installing any apps I went to check my storage in Storage Settings, Apps Settings, and SD Maid . In App Settings and SD Maid it showed 7.5gb used and 4.5gb free, but in Storage Settings it showed 0.4gb used and 11.6gb free. (In my research I found that this may be because my ROM (CM10) is odexed). I have done some exploring using Root Explorer and found that my /data file is 7.5gb, i have a file /storeage/sdcard0 that is also 7.5gb and a /storage/sdcard1 that is 2.3gb.
I have come to the point where I just want to fully wipe my phone and start over; i think it is called a hard reset. It would be more than a Factory Data Wipe, which I have done several times in Clockwork Recovery Mod and it always leaves behind 7.5gb of data in my storage. I dont mind loosing all my data, media, etc. It would be nice if there was a solution that did not require a "hard reset" but I am willing to do it if that is my only option. I am familiar with download mode and odin in case that needed for the hard reset.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Fixed.
First I took all my media and files I wanted to save and transferred them over to my external sd card. Then I downloaded the zip files for the latest CM10(any rom will do) , gapps, and ktoonz kernel and transferred those over to my external sd card.
Then I rebooted into recovery. I went to mounts and storage and formated /system /data /cache and /sdcard
After that I flashed the zip files I downloaded earlier from my external sd card.
Rebooted and took this screen shot.

You can go to mounts and storage in cwm and format everything. That pretty much wipes you clean. Fixed a similar problem I was having.
I didn't do my external sd though

Will this delete a ROM (.zip) (that I would flash after the formating) from my /sdcard?

It's an issue between our GSIII and rom manager, go to settings, then storage, then miscellaneous, wait for it to load, select rom manager, hit the delete key. This will not un install the program it will however delete your nandroids backups.
From now on only make your nandroids while in recovery and always choose ext-sd for output.
This is what fixed it for me. Please let me know if it works for you.

Cleared Data in Settings, Apps, Rom Manager. Backups are still there, I have one recent backup and a backup called "blobs" that I never made. Come to think of it, blobs showed up around the time the problem started. I read somewhere not to delete it though. What is blobs?
Also I'm still looking into formating /system /data /cache etc. Will that possibly brick my phone? Any tips?

I'm going to format /system /data and /cache soon but before I do I would love some feedback on if formating /system /data or /cache will unroot, brick, delete the zip I plan to flash after the formating (the zip is on my external sd) or any other pitfalls I could encounter by formating.
Thanks and I'll let you know how it works.

I would also very much appreciate some info on what /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 is. I think those are possibly what's causing me to show 7.5 gb full even after a factory reset wipe
Thanks

You're on cyanogenmod 10 right.
0 is the phones internal storage and 1 is the ext-sd
Btw why are you should probably ditch rom manager in favor of rom toolbox pro-if you do you'll get rid of those pesky blob files
I love rom manager for its ease of use but had to ditch it because it's blobs take up so much space on my gs3, at least until they update it to allow backups to be sent to the ext-sd. again.

Is there any reason to think that this won't work on the verizon version with cm10.1
i had an 8gb legacy folder after doing a full wipe and reflash.. just deleted it and everything works
I didn't notice this 0 folder issue until today. Up until now I was wondering why some files seemingly disappeared etc. Then I noticed too much space unavailable. This copy this over there and all that was not working so here's what I did:
Copy what you want to keep from internal sd to external sd
Get zip of your current rom and copy to external sd
Nandroid to external sd
Remove external sd from phone
Boot into recovery
Wipe everything, data, cache, dalvik 3x for good measure
Insert external sd
Reboot recovery (ignore no OS warning)
Flash rom (creates a clean file system and installs rom)
Reboot into rom and let it load
Reboot into recovery
Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
Restore your Nandroid backup
Reboot
Tada
/storage/sdcard0 is the mount path for your internal sd card. /storage/sdcard1 is your external. /storage/emulated is the location used for the emulated card in Android 4.2 for multi user support
I have been on Liquidsmooth for a while, and switched to Infamous Lite from Liquidsmooth rc2. After playing around with it I tried to nandroid back to Liquidsmooth rc1 and everything went well, except it seems like my internal storage got wiped along with my Titanium Backup and a lot of other things. Is there any way to recover these things?
If you didn't wipe it, then I'm sure your files are still there. Use a file explorer to look around in your folders.
I am looking around, and I see storage, emulated, sd1, sd0, and all of them have the same files and not the ones that I had on my phone before.
Check the 0 folder?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I checked the emulated folder, sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk0, and all of them are the same as the sdcard folder. I know my files need to be somewhere, 1.6GB of my internal storage is being used. I just can't see any of the files :/

Yes I flashed touch wiz and they came back and I copied them to my desktop. Should I just wipe internal storage and then copy everything back to my phone to free up that space?

There is a folder called "0" that contains all of your files on certain ROMs. It happened to me too. I wouldn't worry about it too much but if you want to clean it up, go for it.
Yeah I found 0, it does not contain everything unfortunately. If I wipe internal storage does my rom get wiped out too? I think my twrp has a wipe internal button.

If you wipe internal, it deletes everything on the device except the external SD card, yes.
If you do this, I would remove your SD card just to be on the safe side. Things go wrong sometimes as you've unfortunately found out with the data loss.

I tried deleting the app, also tried wipe cache and dalvik no luck still my internal and external sd are interchanged. The only way I found to work is to restore nandroid backup that does not include ext to int installed. That is an extreme method
EDIT: K2wl answered this in his ROM thread.....
Do not use this if you do not have an nandroid back up on your PC or SD card don't blame me.
1. On twrp go to the wipe data menu select format data.
2 select internal storage
3 hit format all data on internal storage will be gone and bug will be fixed.
4 profit u must have a android back up or stock ROM on your SD card or PC don't blame me.

This won't fix corrupt data. It will tell you that it is unable to format the data because it can't mount it, but give it a whirl.
