Storage Help

I recently installed CM10 (The JellyBean one) and played with it for a while. I jumped back to Phantom's ICS rom. For some reason, my phone isn't recognizing anything on internal storage. I don't have an SD card (external) in the phone because I've always had enough room internally. What do I need to do to fix it? I'm assuming it's something that CM did when I installed it, but how do I move backwards?
Thanks for the help.

[Q] KitKat 4.4.2 External SD Card issue

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.

CM13 exFat support

I just flashed the latest CM nightly for MM and when I put my SD card in the phone it says its corrupt. I do the reset with the phone to wipe it and after its done I only have 15MB instead of 64GB. Is there a manual fix for this or is it something I just have to wait for CM to do? I have the G3 D852 with latest TWRP.

It looks like you're going to have to wait for a long while to see exFAT get fixed, and yes, I am in the same boat as you are so I literally feel your pain, but that said, when the OS asks me to format the Samsung 64GB EVO microSD card, it gets formatted to FAT32, which is absolutely useless for large files that are more than 4GB, and I have a LOT of FAT32-UNFRIENDLY files that I need on my microSD card, so Android Marshmallow is officially off the cards for me until that problem is fixed.

I have the same problem.
When I format to swapable sd card, I end up in 16MB.
When I format it to internal storage, the formatting stucks at 20% and after a few minutes I get a toast message with "java.util.concurrent.timeoutexception blah blah" and I have to reformat the card on my computer.
Looks like moving on from 5.1 to 6 was one of my biggest mistakes since I have a smartphone.
//Edit
I see there is already a thread about this. Cheers!

Exact same boat as everyone here. 64gb card shows as 15mb. If I format it as internal storage, I get the timeout exception. Didn't even realize I was upgrading to cm13 when I hit the update through OTA. It's came in the same list as cm12.1 nightlies. Of course since I didn't realize I booted it up without flashing gapps for 6.0 and was stuck the entire day trying to wipe clean, flash and restore backups from titanium. Android wear doesn't function properly, BT pairings get deleted on every reboot, SD card is screwed, the list goes on. Such a silly way to include it through OTA update without any warning.

Good news folks!
For those users who have flashed finnq's CM13 nightlies (20151219 onwards), you can now use exFAT-formatted microSD cards - all you need to do is flash the Nebula Kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-nebulakernel-rev6-5-build20150715-t3161768

All this because I wanted to free up space to install Grim Fandango...
I backed up my Samsung 64 gb card on my laptop and then reformatted my card as internal so I could use AppMgr III to move apps over. Now, I'm stuck with my SD card saying "checking...", and it doesn't recognize the card on my laptop.
Any ideas?

Fixes coming....
There are proposed changes currently sitting in code review at CyanogenMod. The changes have not yet been approved or merged. Here is a ROM image for LG G3 d850 that includes the proposed changes to fix the exFAT problem as well as the GPS problem. They work for me. YMMV. Use at your own risk!

Anyone got a CM11 ROM for the Swift?

TL;DR: Anyone got a CM11 based ROM for Crackling they could link to please?
Longer version:
Upgraded to CM13 a while back to try out Marshmallow. Its OK I guess - less irritating than Lollipop certainly - but I'm not loving the way it handles SD cards. I had been using Link2SD to link apps to a second EXT partition but Marshmallow reads this as corrupt and keeps wanting to reformat it. I read a few descriptions and thought that adoptive storage (AKA format as internal) sounded pretty much like what Link2SD did, so fair enough, formatted my card (for the record this is a 64 GB card not the 32 GB card Wileyfox says it can handle, but was working fine otherwise). After the format I was able to move about 3GB to the SD card but a lot of apps don't move - looking at them they're pretty much all ones which can put widgets on screen. I'm not exactly short of space at the moment but this irritates me - especially as I can't seem to directly access the card to install other things on it (like the offline Wikipedia files needed for Kiwix). Prior to that I found the extra security put on the SD card more of a hinderance than a benefit.
Anyhow, looked for a ROM to return to Kitkat but all of the Crackling ROMs on CyanogenMod are for CM13, with the exception of an experimental CM12 - I fell out of love with Lollipop about ten seconds after looking at the interface so I don't want to go back to that (although I imagine that if I had all three of them together Marshmallow would look a lot more like Lollipop than it does Kitkat) so would much prefer going back to CM11, although if anyone can find an alternative to my current issue that'd work too!
Cheers,
Jon.

Help with Custom Rom for LG G4 Beat (H735)

Hi Everybody,
My LG G4 BEAT is now a little bit slow.... i have already did what i can do on the current Rom (cleaning, removing apps, clearing cache) - and nothing seems to improve to situation.
i have on it 32 GB micro SDcard, and i save on it everything that can be saved instead on the memory phone, but it is not enough, i have always the same message "not enough space...." when i try to download new Apps or when i'm trying to make Updates.
i figured maybe i'll install a new Rom, and the most important thing is that it will make the phone work faster.
can you recommend me on suitable ROM ? is the first time that i try to do that, so i need some good explanations.
thanks! =)

no bootloader unlock = no recovery = no custom rom

In my experience, custom roms are nearly always faster than stock. And they don't slow down as much as the stock rom. Perosnally I like vanilla android roms with a few tweaks. I find they are the most stable and least prone to slowdown over time. I've used Cyanogenmod in the past and loved it, but there isn't a stable release for the G4. I recommend looking into AOSP-based roms in the Android Development section of this forum. Or you could just do a factory reset, which will make your phone faster. It will still slow down over time, however.
I don't think installing a custom rom will really help your problem with not having enough space. However, installing a rom clears your data partition (this means all apps and the saved data with those apps will be removed. Your personal data like pictures and music will be left untouched.) And that means you'll have plenty of free space!
Have you thought about mounting your SD card as an internal partition instead of a media SD card? This allows the system to use the sd card as if it were an internal sd card, meaning you can install apps to it and stuff. But you will only be able to use your SD card for that phone.

No it isn't, it's just hidden.
You can partition your SD Card through ADB.
On reddit (Enable adoptable storage on your LG G4 (stock, no root needed)) there is a nice tutorial for the LG G4, but it works exactly the same way for the G4s.
But read the comments, there you get usefull hints, like only use a part of the external SD as adoptable storage.
Since I use this I have more than enough space with my G4s and it's even faster, if your SD Card is fast enough.
If you need any further details don't hesitate to contact me.

if i install twrp no-troot h735 then flash magisk to phone it will be rooted?

Custom Rom ? (LG G4 Beat)

Nope, as long as I saw....and it won't be
