[Q] Sdcard vs Sdcard0 - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm on Italian JOB Exp 1.2, and before I Had sdcard as usb storage, but now, it's sdcard0
My sd card is at the root of the phone, and sdcard0 is in storage folder look at this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Swap memories are included in the rom. If you don't want the swap search vold.fstab for our device

Yes I know, the ROM has swap memories included.
But I saw in a forum, sdcard0 is like a shortcut of sdcard. Does it's true?

I would just know if I flash the ROM, do I will have sdcard and exsdcard (without sdcard0) ?

In ITJ, sdcard0 is your external sd and sdcard1 would be your internal.(applies only to modified vold.fstabs)

If this problem is since you flash the rom you can't resolve. If it appears after a while the reflash could resolve

If what yiu mean is, if you have the modified vold.fstab, will your
-sdcard
-usb storage
-ext sd
Still be there, then yes. Only ext sd and sdcard0 are swapped so your partitions will still be there and usable
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk

Stock GB:
/sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard = USB storage
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd = MicroSD
Stock JB:
/sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0 = USB storage
/storage/extSdCard = MicroSD
CM10.1:
/sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0 = USB storage
/storage/sdcard1 = MicroSD

You'll need to reformat the card to Fat32. This of course will wipe it clean, so id take it out of the phone and plug into the computer, and back up any important data. Then format to FAT32. You can format on the phone, so it may be best to do it that way.
What size is the card?

Isn't it the internal sd storage?
I have a 32gig external sd
Ooops.....my bad!
disregard previous posts. Sorry bout that!
Try deleting the .android_secure folder as is mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908178
If that doesnt work, I would suggest trying TWRP instead of CWM.
How much space is left in your storage?

I deleted the folder but I'm pretty sure the backup file produced isn't right at 21mb.
Damn I need to figure this out
Its fine. Cwm works differently now. The 1st backup will be a full backup. All subsequent ones wikk only backup whats changed.
Not sure how good it is. I use twrp personally.

In android 4.2.1 the sd card handling has been changed. Now default folder sdcard/0 . So no space on sdcard itself.

Some folders may show incorrect space usage, try mounting as usb from recovery and checking on a computer,
if it still shows as 6GB then something is wrong with your SD formatting or the software, and you need to re-install the rom wiping everything

Thats a good idea, why didn't I think of it? ><
Anyway thanks a lot it really helped me
Apparently I wasn't able to see anything inside my SD card out of the '0' folder, therefore not being able to see the '0' folder, and since it was recognized in my computer as a media device, not mass storage, I wasn't even able to see it in the computer :|
So I'm transfering all my sd card content into '0' folder
Thanks this should pretty much solve it
Though, why the hell is my device recognized as a media device and not mass storage USB? ><
Support for mass storage mode was dropped in Android 4.2. For now on you can use MTP.

That depends on the vold.fstab of a certain Xperia phone but I think it can be applied
To other phones with internal and ext sdcard.
after using the memory swap i tried connecting my phone to the pc, and when I click the sd card it opened but no folders or anything inside the folder. How to fix this?

After applying these settings:
External memory turn into internal vice versa
So because of EXT format is not supported on windows, thus external memory indeed now internal memory, won't be recognized.

Are you sure about that? Then why does our internal memory shows up when we connect our phone to pc? Im referring to internal memory, not the external.

No need to use sd mounter or any kind of mounting apps because it will be detected on the pc automatically.

Xperia M 4.3 Storage Swap

I dont know if any one has started a thread about this already. After the release of jelly bean 4.3 for xperia m c1905 all the previous ways of swapping internal and external storage no longer work making it impossible to run large apps anymore. I know it was recently released but has anyone found a way to do this yet, and im sure im not the only one who would like to know.

swapping internal and external storage can be used after you full rooted...
and using something script from cm11...
with this mode..in your display phone setting storage still read 2gb but working perfect in my game like asphalt8 or nfs...
after that you can using link2sd for linking some applications to secondary partition...

once again, you don't provide much information. it wouldn't be too surprising, and in this case my first guess, that the filemanager you are using is displaying wrong information based on its assumption that the transfer was successful. this could cause the wrong (cached) list of files to be loaded each time, unless the phone gets restarted…

The initial root file system is a RAM disk. If you create folders or add files to /, they are wiped-out after a reboot. You could hack the RAM disk to add your folder but it would be easier to just create a file in /system and plop your music files in there.
