I cant speak for any other ROM as i haven't used any other than AOKP but it works fine for me with my 16GB class 10. I would venture to say it also works on most of the ROM's out there...personally speaking, and i think im probably in the majority here, no external SD would be a deal breaker.
EDIT: According to some (very) quick research its possible it may simply be that your SD card is in a format not readable by CM. Try formatting the SD to FAT32 and see if it works.

Oah thanks.. I will try doing it Nd will surely let you guys know

Move what to the sd exaclty? Also what size card do you have, i've seen somewhere there are detection issues with the larger capacity cards.

So, the external is working now? And you are trying to move something to it? Sorry but you are not elaborating much on what is going on.

Yeah... I wanna moved and save the apps in external sd card.... No, the sd card is not working. How do you save your apps in your sd card when you download something from app store Or like if you want moved it to sd card which is already in internal memory

Well there are several option to move apps to sd. Of course this isn't going to work until you figure out why your sd card isn't being recognized. There is a possibility there could be a problem with your external slot...have you tried any other sd cards?

Are you able to able to save your apps on external sd card...

Now that you mention it i can't..although i really wouldn't want to. Every time i've done it in the past it has causes problems. I'm not sure if this is isolated to AOSP based roms or if it's got to do with the way the external sd is accessed.

i just installed cm10 on my galaxy r and was wondering with the same doubt.
while opening randomly the folders in the root, i found that /emmc is the location of external sd card.. :victory:

Phone keeps ejecting 64gb SD Card

Was working fine up until I installed Death Star rom. I reverted back to Wicked and it continues to eject SD card right after it has been installed. I tried another 1gb sd card, works fine, no ejection. I put my 64gb sd in and it prepares it then ejects it, tried to manually mount it and it does the same thing. CMW will not mount 64gb sd card either. I did update CWM through Rom Manager (bought it FYI) but worked afer the update. This started happening minutes after it was updated.
Any ideas?

Remove the micro sd from the phone, put it into the converter so you can
use it with your computer.
Then format it in FAT32, after it's done put it back in the phone and
you will find that your problem has magically disappeared.

Thanks. I'll try this now.

[Q] How to use 64GB SD card in Tmobile Galaxy S4

I have tried to use a samsung 64GB micro sd card in my galaxy s4, but everytime i put music on the sd it says the sd is damaged and needs to be reformatted. I contacted T Mobile and they told me that their version of the galaxy s4 would only take sd cards up to 32GB. I have read some other treads on this site to try and get around this, like the exfat thing of fat32, both of which failed. I have recently rooted my phone, successfully, and i was wondering if anybody could help me get past this 32GB sd card only bs. Now that I have rooted my phone is there any option i can take to successfully have my 64GB sd work in my galaxy s4. If you need more information please let me know. I would like to solve this problem as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to try and help me.

Find a kernel that's exFAT compatible our reformat to FAT32. The factory firmware s should be compatible iirc.
Tmobile is wrong about only accepting 32GB sd card.

I have tried both ways exFat and Fat32. I have over 32GB on the sd card, but once i put the sd in my phone the phone tells me the the sd is damaged. I am new to all this ROM, Kernel, etc... stuff. Where could I find a kernel that supports exFat or FAT32 and how would I install this on my phone without messing it up?

I think they all support FAT32, stock firmware should support exFAT. You might just have a bad card.
☞Sent from here☜

Have you tried a different 64gb card? I have no problem on stock rom using a 64gb card I got on amazon.

Like what he said. I've been on Stock for a month before switching to custom ROMs but within that month I've got no problems using my 64GB card. Try another card, might be your card is damaged in the first place...

I have tried 3 different cards. I get the same message with each card.

Did u try reformatting while the card is in the device? Or thru cwm?

I have tried reformatting while card was in the device. I am not sure how to go about formatting through cwm.

I also have a 64gb sd card. Works great.

That is awesome. I wish I could figure out how to get mine to work. What kind of sd do you use? What was your formatting method?

I honestly think, if you've really tried 3 different sd cards, that you could have a bad MicroSD slot. You might go into T-Mobile and ask them if you can try your card in one of their S4's. If your card works fine in a different phone, then, if your phone is a recent purchase, exchange it, if it's relatively new, get a warranty replacement.

I formatted my 64gb card on my pc using an adapter & have had zero issues. Currently running Infamous v8.0.

Format to Fat32. I recommend creating a Live USB of Ubuntu and doing it through gparted.

Mine works fine
I have a sandisk ultra 64 in mine formatted out of the box for exfat and it works just fine. You should not be having those issues.

What kernel are you using?

Could be a bummed sdcard. I had the same issue with a knockoff. Now I have a 64g exfat with no issues.

?can you flash rom from sd card

Quick question, can you install a custom rom from the sd card using twrp or does the rom need to first be installed in the internal storage before flashing? The reason I ask is that I was trying to install a rom from my sd card last night (brand new card) and the card fried. Was it a random event or is it not the right way to flash a rom onto this device?
Thanks in advance
