Memory card

Hello.
I just bought a new 16gb class 10 micro sd and i'm running MIUI 2.8.10 RC 2 on my wonder.
My problem is, sometime the phone wont detect my external sd.
I have to off and on the phone again.
Reboot wont work.
Can someone help me?
Is it the rom or the micro sd?
Oh, i also flashed arco cm9 beta 4 kernel.
Thanks in advance

I suspect the MicroSD is the problem.
Try using a different MicroSD for awhile, let's say 2 or 3 days. If the problem doesn't resurface, we can be certain that the MicroSD *is* the culprit.

I might the same problem earlier. In fact, while you connect your W to your computer Via USB your external was even corrupted(computer prompted for formats, right?) sometimes. The files never went into your external even if you copied.
Try this, flash forfivo's V1 kernel. Or V3. Doesn't matter. No UV version.
It worked for me for now.
If it worked, gimme a thank. Working on collecting it.

Thanks for your answer,but it didnt work

First, check that there are no .nomedia files in your SD Card somewhere in the parent path.
Second, try checking your SD Card for errors.
Like I posted before, I strongly suspect the problem is with your card, not with the ROM.

I'd have a go with pepoluans suggestion too. But I think its your card which is having issues. Try formatting and randomly place a song in it. Format using your computer in FAT32 format.

Should i delete the .nomedia files? What it does actually?

Depends on its position.
A .nomedia file indicates that a directory (and all subdirectories underneath, including their descendants) should be excluded from media scanning. For example, a directory containing icons of an app; you don't want meaningless icons to fill up your gallery of photos.
A rule of thumb: .nomedia files should not be in the root directory of your SD Card, for it will exclude the whole SD Card from scanning.

[Q] Cannot create 'theme' folder on internal database - MIUI GB 3.2

Hello everybody,
I have been looking on this forum and on google, but haven't been able to sort my problem out!
Im using MIUI GB 3.2 of henry_01 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515120 ) and I want to create a 'theme' folder into /data/system/ but root explorer tells me everytime that the operation fails....
I have the root access granted by Superuser, so I don't know what am I doing wrong?? I extended internal storage to 1GB with my SD card using INT2EXT4, could it be the problem?
Hope have been clear enough, anyone has an idea??
Cheers

have you mount system as rw before creating folder?

Well i think i did, using the option of root explorer to get rw rights of / and /system. Wasn't it enough?

I was trying to port MIUI GB myself and I encountered this problem. I asked the LG P500 dev and he said you need a file defaulttheme in your init.d folder. I'll post it here soon.

Place this file in your init.d folder.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2g1mcgfe8f8jbal/06defaulttheme?m
Edit the "06" according to the number of scripts in that folder.
Eg: you have 5 scripts in init.d - They should be 01,02,03,04,05,etc. Then name this one 06defaulttheme and place it.

Thanks for your reply,
It didn't work so far! I have 7 scripts from 0 to 5, then one '20userinit' and one '40int2ext'
So I tried naming your file with the number 06 then 41, then both (rebooting everytimes between each try)
So I found a way to create a folder theme by renaming the 'dropbox' folder that got recreated at the following reboot. I placed .mtz theme in it but still nothing appears in the 'Theme chooser' app!
Maybe this rom cannot be themed?? or... I don't know! Im lost

They worked on mine long ago... Although the themes were in a folder MIUI/Theme on my sdcard. That folder was made when I boot into the ROM for the first time.

Go to /System and open the Build Prop file, then edit the swap line. Just search for it on the file.

Cyanogenmod 10.2/android 4.3

vold.fstab is no longer used in 4.3. Instead, fstab.<device> is now unified. Check the contents of yours. Unfortunately, this means you'll have to unpack your boot.img, modify the ramdisk, repack and reflash.
Refer to http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/ although it doesn't provide nearly enough information in my opinion. I end up digging through sources for various devices.

dammit! It could have been so easy! :V

Any Solution for increasing internal sd ram size ?
Are there any 3rd party programs which can do the task for me ? I dont want to unpack .img file and edit and then repack and reflash. Just too many variables that can go wrong ?

You can see if any of the kernel zips are using the "anykernel" method and modify the script to suit.
If you can't find one, you can download one of the zips from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181820 and figure out how to adapt the relevant ramdisk patching section (look in tmp/otgmod.sh) to suit. It basically dumps the current boot.img, breaks it apart, mods the ramdisk, makes a new boot.img, and then flashes it. Strip out all the irrelevant parts and change the partitions to suit.

Has anyone found a way to do this in 4.4 yet, specifically CM11? Switching with the build.prop isn't working for me.

I don't follow your phone, but nonetheless, build.prop mods shouldn't have worked in 4.3.
Further, starting in 4.4, the external sdcard is also run through fuse. See http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html specifically the last section: Emulated primary, physical secondary (like Xoom)
From there, you can understand what needs to be switched. Again, this requires modifying the ramdisk.
I don't know if there's some sort of hack that'd allow you to change a global variable from a child. Perhaps, an init.d script would work at the parent level? If so, you may be able to switch around EXTERNAL_STORAGE and SECONDARY_STORAGE that way. The paths will remain unchanged, but proper android apps should respect the env vars.

Hi
on Kitkat, the mounting are set in the fstab files which are inside the boot.img file.
To edit them, you should unpack the img file, edit the files, then repack it in order to flash it.
The way to unpack them depends on the device manufacturer. For MTK devices, it is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587411&page=29
I did it successfully on my Cube tablet in 4.4.
For others, you should find the tools on the web...

Fix Out of Space Error (New trick)

I know Fixing out of space error is most asked one but i tried the methods floating in xda...none of these works for me...
Method i tried:::
1)wiping cache & delvik cache in recovery
2)manually wiping cache
3)deleting "data/apps dedexed & odex" related file...
but no luck...
finally i found a way to fix this problem on my Nexus 4, that's selecting app install location 'auto' which i changed to 'SD'...
Think it'll helpful for u...
Hit thanks button if I helped u

Where did u find this install location (option Auto/SD)?
Coz i cant seem to find it...
I had this problem long time ago, but i remove data/data/(app folder associated) and fixed it.

I think op is referring to the amount of space left error. After flashing a new update some users had 6gb or 8gb left while the devices were actually 16gb.
