Hello,
Searched this in the forums but can't find the answer I was looking for.
Every time I connect my phone to my PC and use the USB mass storage...and after I unmount it, all of my homescreen shortcuts disappear, but only the app shortcuts that are moved to the SD card disappears.
So my question is- is this normal?
Using HOX-endeavoru CM11 Nightly Jan31 stock CM kernel. Never happened when I was in stock Sense ROM. They either change to default android icons or disappear temporarily and appear again after unmounting. This problem also occurs when I was in CM10.2. Also happens when mounting/unmounting via CWM. Is this kind of a launcher problem? Does it happen on stable versions of CM as well?
EDIT:I get that what I am using are nightlies so things are obviously not complete/stable, but just out of curiosity why I'm asking this. I can always move them back to phone memory.
EDIT:Happens as well after normal reboot
Thanks!
To solve this problem I used SiMi Folder. see this link
Yes, it's normal as UMS turns to make your SD card unavailable from phone side. If you use file explorer while connected to PC you won't see it.
You need to use MTP to be avoid that.

Thanks for the reply. Anyway it only affects apps that are moved to the SD card. So I just have to use MTP instead.
But my problem right now is that they still disappear when I update apps from the Play Store. Of course again only apps that are moved to the SD card.
Thanks!

Are you using Trebuchet or another launcher ?

I'm using Trebuchet in CM11 M8 - endeavoru
In this case, try another one to see if the problem also appears.
Maybe, it's a bug of Trebuchet.

Yeah it might be a bug. I tried others and they work just fine. I'm the type of person to just use stock versions, even the kernel, that's why I sticked with trebuchet. But yeah I think it's time I used another one again. Got any good recommendations?
If you like the stock look and feel, you can try Nova.

Hey guys I would like some help on partitioning my sd card so I can move all my apps to my sd card. I know I need Fat32, EXT 3, and swap is optional correct? Have tried a few ways but nothing worked...
Here are some I have tried:

Some possibly work without being certified, but you may run into bugs at best and total fail at worst. You're better off just moving the ones that belong - moving system apps or other such things can really screw you, as you've noticed.

Yeah I don't really mess with system apps just 3rd party apps. But from a little research as long as the apps go to the ext3 part of the sd card I should be fine unless that is still talking about just apps2sd enabled apps....

If your running Froyo you need to do nothing. Just use the system app. If you want to use a2sd then you have to use cwm to partition your card. Do you also want to use part of your partition for swapping (Bonsai)? Btw, this doesn't work with most series 3 cwm.

Hey everyone. im running jelly bean on my nexus. i deleted all of my stuff from my "sdcard" because none of it would show up under gallery or play music. i backed it up to my computer and then sent it all back to my phone. now my gallery says "no external storage available". im not too sure what went wrong, but does anyone know how to fix it? i downloaded "quickpic" on the play store and it shows my gallery fine, i guess i just would rather use the stock one. just not sure if anyone knows a solution to fix it. im on twitter as spdivr1122 if i forget to reach here. if you can help me that would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Nexus S and experienced the same issue, just had to remove the USB cable or disable usb connection (i was using the phone when connected with an USB cable to my computer).
That solved my problem on a Nexus S. Maybe the Galaxy Nexus works the same.

Great thought, but this occurs when the phone is not hooked up to a computer. There is no way to turn the external storage on and off.

Hi Mate,
I was facing the same problem, in the end i flashed Franco kernel r230 GPU 384.
You can try a different kernel of your choice to try fix the problem.

I've tried now updating my Kernel and that didn't fix anything.
My next step is to go back to ICS to get my camera to work, not something I want to do, because I like the feel of JB.
Any other thoughts?
the same issue...
it seems that JelyBean had a big issue and developers don't want to accept that and solve it! Moreover they are continue totally ignoring that issue and continue building a new ROM's.... I'm frustrated!
same issue here, tried three roms with full wipe.
Sure there's not a .nomedia file floating around in there somewhere?
I faced the same problem last night, and still haven't found a working solution.
I'm a long time user of Franco.kernel on stock 4.1.1, and last night I decided to try out MiNCO ROM v4. In TWRP I wiped cache, Dalvik, did a factory reset and even wiped system before flashing the ROM. It booted normally and looked and felt great, but opening Gallery gave me the "external storage" error.
I read countless threads on this error, and tried every suggested workaround, to no avail.
Steps taken:
clear data in Gallery app and reboot
clear data in Media Storage and reboot
search for rogue .nomedia files in /storage/sdcard0/ and subdirectories (this was really an issue with a recent ROM Manager update, which I don't use)
restore Gallery.apk from a nandroid of stock ROM using TiBu
reflash gapps
reflash kernel
factory data reset
reflash ROM
I eventually felt I had no choice but to restore my nandroid of Stock 4.1.1!
Good news: no more "external storage" error
Bad news: hello, square one! :crying:
I hope some of the steps above work for at least some of you similarly afflicted, but I'm stumped...
This is the solution to your problem, I guess.
SD?

Are you flashing everything from the card?, try to do it from the internal memory, so the installation sets the internal memory as the second storage device (internal or whatever) and the card as an external device

In fact i had the same problem a few days ago, and what i said worked, just be sure to backup your data and everything, then flash the rom from internal memory, the gapps are optional as the backup has them, then restore the backup, on the next reboot you should see everything as you left it, go to your gallery and the toast should not appear anymore, try it:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
My camera app isn't saving anything locally whenever I take a picture. In fact, there's no gallery icon in the camera app at all that you can normally click on it to take you there.
Also, when I try to attach a photo to a message from the MMS app, Gallery crashes and photo never attaches.
Finally, when I load up Gallery manually, all it sees is my 'Screenshots' folder and a couple of screenshots that I have saved in there. There's no camera photos anywhere.
I'm running AOKP JB B2 and FrankoKernel Milestone 5
Any ideas? I've tried SD rescan already. I'm wondering if I need to reformat my internal storage. I've just noticed that my 'external storage' isn't showing up when I plug my GN into my PC as well and whenever I run SDRescan, SwiftKey starts getting angry and tells me I have no language files and I have to redownload the English dictionary again.
Finally, I'm offering $10 via PayPal to the person who can help me fix this issue. Thanks!

Have you tried using an alternative camera app, to make sure the internal SD is working with photos? I suggest CameraICS, it'll be the closest other than CameraJB+, which is a paid app

Downloading now. My service is abysmal at work so it's taking a little bit.
EDIT: CameraICS has no icon for the Gallery when taking pictures. The pictures that are taken don't get saved to SD card. Trying to attach a picture to a message with it crashes CameraICS, instead of crashing Gallery as with the stock JB camera.
You might try re- downloading your ROM and re-flashing with a complete wipe

I believe this has persisted past a couple of ROM installs but I will install AOKP JB B4 when I get home tonight and see what happens.
Will update in ~3-4 hours when I get home and have time to do this. Maybe corrupted GAPPS? Is that the package with Camera / Gallery in it?

Depends on the Gapps package. Some have the Google built Gallery/Camera (with Picasa sync) others leave the source built version which has extra features such as using the power button for the shutter (but no Picasa sync).

Just finished flashing GAPPS and AOKP JB B4 from here:
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/jb-build-4-r32
Verified the MD5 of both before flashing. And the same exact problem is persisting. Gallery crashes when attaching through MMS and camera photos end up lost in the ether, never saved to SD card.

This happened to me when I first rooted my Nexus. The camera toke the pics, but they weren't saved... plus some other weird things.
It ended being a file/folder permissions issue. It seems I did a nandroid backup restoration in a wrong way (I wanted to restore my previous data, after the mandatory wipe out of the rooting method).
Anyways... The post that gave me tips for the fix was this one (from user cmstlist):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26967620&postcount=7
Sometimes the file ownerships get messed up after a cycle of recovering the OS and restoring files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1515291&page=2
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
This fixed it for me and others.

Complete Edit: Problem is that since I flashed my phone with AOPK's rom and that music and videos will not play. The speaker by the ear will not work during calls and the headphones aren't registering properly (maybe with the headphones). I remember when I opened doubletwist and I got a message that went along the lines of that this is a custom rom and it was missing apis (I forget if that was it or not, I might have gotten it wrong) necessary to run some apps. And I'm thinking that is the real issue.
I have tried a lot of things, please take a look through the thread to see what I've already tried and didn't work.
I'm thinking I need to flash it with a different rom OR would really like it that if someone else who has the normal HTC One V software that isn't customized or anything, if they could leave a Clockwork backup file here so I can get my phone back to what it once was.

When I flashed a custom rom and changed my firmware it just went away permanently. But I honestly don't know what the actual fix was. For the first month I owned the phone I flashed just about every rom.
Edit- guess I should've read a little better. You're already on a custom rom. First thing you have to do is delete a couple (5 mb worth) of non essential items from your phone. The try downloading SD maid pro or something similar. If that downloads than it means your cache is full. Run SD maid pro and it will clear up all that "free space" that's not really free... If that doesn't work let me know and I'll we'll try to figure something else out.
Edit edit- or you could just go to recovery and try wiping only your cache and see if that works.
