Hello,
So i have Gnexus (maguro), it starts to lag and becomes unusable because of fstrim issues, then i installed LagFix in did fine.
But not the most best results, it would if there are less than 2 gb free space avialable.
So i thought completely formatting the storage would fix it, but copying via MTP isnt a chance(slow, some files doesnt show up), is there any smooth way to quickly copy&backup storage ?
Or Fix fstrim problem forever
sounds like you need a jelly bean rom. If I'm correct I believe that put trim support in Jelly Bean. Someone else that knows more about it might chime in.

Nah, I had same issues on 4.3, even 4.4 seems to do the same thing

Filezilla on your computer. FTPserver on your phone:

Transfer files over your WiFi network. Its fast and easy.
USB-stick, OTG adaptor and TWRP.

go through your apps in froyo... the sizes shown are what REMAINS on internal storage the amount stored in the /sdcard/.android_secure isnt show
i.e
flash 10.1 shows 8mb
if you move to phone it shows 12mb
only 4mb is moved from the phone to the sd...
this is pretty similar on most apps
which means
its near to usless
There are apps that simply cannot run entirely from sdcard, since their libraries and/or files must reside on non-removable memory in order to guarantee the OS integrity: Flash plugin is one of these.
The most apps left 100/200 kB on the internal memory while moving 2+ MB on the sdcard. I think it's working.
root apps cant run from sd .... but apart from that ...
all data is stored on internal memory too
ie
swype had 4m of data on internal memory
our hacked a2sd worked better lol
Yea worked better..NOT.
I mount sd card to trasnfer files on PC, and half of widgets or programs gets FC's, crashes, or starting to act weird..
Google made it safer.

Ehm yeah...that what pretty much what JDouce said.
+1 Froyo's app2sd is much worse compared to app2sd+
If you mount sd card to pc via USB, it will take a long time for that to happen.
And after you disconnect USB mode, it will take a long time again to reregister all the apps in sd.
The original app2sd+ is a much better one IMO.

+1. A complete waste of time. The apps dont fully install on the SD card like when using app2sd+, the OS seems to like "forgetting" about any apps installed on the SD after a reboot and after so many installs refuses to install any more apps despite there being plenty of space left. I'm going back to 2.1 until someone gets a proper app2sd solution working as I'm not impressed with the android one at all.
I think Google wanted to keep the option of physically unplugging the memory card 'on the fly'. It wont work in 'our' APPS2SD.

which is stupid because you need to take out the battery before you can get complete access to the sdcard...
Btw, i've got a question : why when accessing the phone sdcard as an usb UMS device does the phone have to unmount the sdcard from the phone filesystem and remount it to USB in an odd invisible to the phone FS way ?
couldn't access to sdcard be available to both phone AND USB at the same time ?
evidently its possible because u can push and pull files from/to the sd with adb
and since froyo doesn't have ext partition support they just patched out "our" a2sd ... i guess this is intentional
ffs memory isnt expensive what is it with htc and 512mb .... whatswrong with 4gb... and make it 20$ more

No, it is not possible to take out your memory card while your phone is running with APPS2SD or APPS2SD+ without making your system unstable.
Googles APPS2SD implementation seems to be a lot like Symbians (which is a good thing IMO).

Actually you can, there is a widget for that. I believe it is called SD split. I use and recommend it.
I love how people are ragging on an implementation that, last I heard, was a quick and dirty port of a ROM that was accidentally leaked. Maybe it's not finished? Maybe the Desire's real implementation will be better?
Such impatience.

lol....very true..we should be happy running this already in the first place
i didnt mean evidently its possible to take the sd out ... i meant evidently its possible for a pc and the phone to have acess to the sd together
Froyo gives 1/2 a2sd for now
-> very few apps on market actually support a2sd
lets hope so googles fixes this in gingerbread
The usb mass storage on my HD2 worked the same way, if you use it u cant rum apps which are installed on card (and have all files on sd card). So whats wrong here?
on the up side read/write to sd is much quicker now since a2sd+ isnt stealing a load of transfer speed
I've been using CM10 and now 10.1 for a while now. I like it alot but im having a little issue...
I've searched XDA and found a couple of mention of this issue but no workaround or more info than the usual "yes, i'm also having this issue".
When i connect my phone to the computer, the SD card and internal storage are inverted, yet they report proper sizes.
I wouldnt mind if it was only a cosmetic issue, however i'm having issues copying files on my internal memory because my SD Card is full...
For exemple... when i plug my phone i see "SD Card" with 346mb free out of 59.4gb (using a 64gb sdcard) and i see Internal memory as 8.41gb free out of 12gb. If i want to copy a file that is bigger than 350mb on my internal memory, i have to go into "SD Card" and copy it there and then it fails to copy saying there isnt enough free space.
So yeah, while the cosmetic inversion doesnt bother me, the fact that it's checking for the required free-space in the wrong place before copying is a bit annoying.
I'm using my SD Card for music storage, i like to keep things separated and well sorted... so right now, my solution is to delete enough stuff on my SD Card so that it has more free-space than the files i want to copy on my internal storage
Any workaround other than that?

I'm not sure if there's a workaround but you could try mounting through recovery?
It sounds like a ROM problem, did you clean flash CM10.1?

I did do a clean flash. Over the holidays, i played around with AOKP and CM10.1 as i had issues getting my Wifi to work on CM10.1 and AOKP was working fine (ended up breaking in AOKP after the holidays too, had to change my router's setting from simple WPA to WPA2, but thats another story). So while playing around, i ended up wipping the phone a few times.
Sadly, i don't remember if the issue was also present in AOKP or if it was just CM10.1
I'm using TWRP, nothing shows up on my computer when i plug the phone while running TWRP. So i'm not sure...
Just for reference, here's two other posts with the same issue, both on CM10.1:

I'm not having this issue on AOKP, like I mentioned, it could be ROM specific.
As for TWRP, there should be a mount option.

Yeah, im pretty sure its ROM specific too...
For TWRP, there is a mount button, but it doesnt seem to be there for USB mounting. I couldnt find the option to mount anything on USB...
I backed up everything and ill do a complete wipe now, just to see if it fixes it...

Mount storage perhaps? Or mount internal/external.
I'm downloading a big file right now so I can't check but will check later if you haven't got it.

Well good sir, it seems like your initial assessment was quite correct. After wiping everything (Factory, cache, dalvik, format internal) and re installing CM10.1 latest nightly, my issue is fixed.
Now im reloading everything using Titanium Backup, hopefully i get all my settings back, without restoring the issue... :laugh:
Thanks alot!
to the old days of plain 'ol USB Mass Storage?
I have CM 10.1 Nightly and KToonsez' latest kernel. I've always had the problem since I first got this phone, from CM9 to CM10.1, multiple kernels, that the only USB transfer mode is MTP and Camera. Well let me tell you, MTP sucks. Massively slow speeds, only 1 file operation at one time, and 75% of the time it gets stuck and file transfers fail.
All I want to do is mount my SD card to my computer and transfer files to it. Is there any way I can get the plain Mass Storage mode?
I could also settle for how to get USB Storage mount in TWRP, I haven't found such a setting yet though.

I've been thinking this, too. I'm assuming the apps on Google play would work, I used to use mount sd card or something for my G1, but I haven't tried on this phone.

I use wifi-explore app. MTP is often hit or miss for me. But WiFi-explore app does work well.

I've been searching the forms for awhile and wanted to ask a question on the offical rom's thread for PAC rom for the T989 GS2. I've been flashing roms for a couple years now so I have some experience with trouble shooting, and need to get my post count up. Anyways here is the problem.
I love this Rom just to start with, however, I see that a few have had issues transferring files PC to external SD or even on the PC Internal to External. I also have seen that it is a kernal issue within CM So i flashed Cerux's kernal. That helped it a bit from the phone from freezing, however, it still has issues. I am going to just re-flash the rom with the kernal and see it that helps. But, I'd like to know if there is any other way of fixing this issue. I'd hate to find a different rom because I love all the features on this. Any suggestions is helpful.
Sounds like the same issue I and a few others are having. When using usb mass storage and trying to transfer files the transfer hangs for a bit then my phone freezes up. I had to go into storage settings and enable MTP. Doesn't fix the mass storage issue but at least I can transfer files.

Hey everyone,
I am having issues with my external SD card, which apparently is a design part of KitKat. I have read of some fixes for other devices, but before I try any of those, do you know if they will work on the T989? If so, what fix do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
I am having no problems running HellKat which is a 4.4.2 ROM if I remember correctly. External storage seems to function fine on my device.
What issues are you having? The only issue I had was that the phone didn't allow for Mass Storage anymore and needed to use MTP/PTP. I did up a quick and dirty shell script to get around this though and I'm more than happy with the results.

I am running this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521015
I've been happy with it for quite a while, but maybe it wasn't using my external SD when I thought it was. My external has 12.29GB avail, but my internal is full. Everything tries to download to the internal, and I get a message that download failed for no space. I was reading some on it, and it seems like KitKat doesn't really support external SD. (Unless I've interpretted things wrong, which I guess is a possibility.) I found a few workarounds online, but I haven't heard of the devs before, and I couldn't find much on XDA, so just thought I'd post it here for the experts.
Thanks!

Sounds like normal issues...look into app2sd or similar apps. And check your app default download locations. I know most default to internal.
