[Q]ROM Manager default location?

Is there a way to get ROM MANGER to default to the Internal "SD" card for backups? It always goes to my external card.
I know I can manually launch clockworkmod and select "internal SD" but I would rather do it from within the O/S so I can name the files.

you can always rename the files however you like with any file editor to rename them
and you can move the zip files around to either Internal SD or External SD
personally i like them on the External SD better to safe space on my Internal SD

I do that but like the convenience of doing it from the O/S. I thought I preferred the external as well until yesterday. The reason I want to do that is because when I tried doing a restore from the external it kept crashing. Seems my 32GIG card is flaky (as these cards can be) and I couldn't restore. I know it's the card because it restored fine from the internal SD. The internal ram, not being a "card" is much more reliable and now I am too skittish to use the external MicroSd for backups.

PM Koush or sent him an email for a feature request on his CWR
to let user pick where the backup are kept

I think I'm missing something!?
It looks like it's included already?

Well I'll be a son of a b .......... I tried MENU everywhere except from the main screen! Dohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks for making me look foolish, I deserved it! But I don't feel that bad since Allgamer didn't recall either,

not exactly, i was thinking more in the area of Letting you select a Folder you like.
i do know of the internal vs. external option
that's why i said i like it to be on the external by default a few messages above
ideally we should be able to pick a folder to keep all that stuff, i'll like to point it to a folder called "ROMs" for example in the root of /sdcard/
instead of the default
(titanium backup just recently added that feature, well more like they improved it)

[solved] Incorrect Free Space on SD Card

I seem to be losing space on my SD Card. I delete stuff but I don't see the space being freed up.
If I use WinDirStat it tells me that the SD card is using 18.8GB of space, but is only showing 1.4GB of free space. If i run a check on the card I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't understand where the free space is going. Any help please? I seem to be missing about 5GB of space. I'm running ARHD 3.1.0.
Thanks

After reading about others with the same problem, I copied the data off the sdcard, reformatted, copied the data back and now all the correct free space is there.

This happened to mine too. I already did what you have done and formatted the sd partition and i gained 3gb from 5gb to 8gb which was great but woke this morning to have lost another 1gb overnight. I thought i had solved it but obviously not. Hope this gets sorted soon.

The problem is that after files deletion their space goes to the bad sectors - just run chkdsk to see this. Seems problem with internal SD driver or something like this

After Chkdsk is done and errors have been found, what now?

same issue, i lost 4gb in "bad sectors". That is a lot!
edit: formatted sd card en all bad sectors were gone. Had the full 25gb available

This may be a separate issue, as I didn't have any bad sectors and after reformatting then copying the data back I haven't had a reappearance of the problem. I've been flashing more ROMs, deleting files, copying new files and so far the space is being correctly reported

Is this a problem for people using custom roms ony?

I also encountered this problem, only format SD card can be resolved
Some people say that the cause of the problem is caused by the choice of installation location

no really. on russian forum this happend also with stock rom 1.29.405
And ive found that cluster size on my internal SD was 32Kb, but it should be 16kb for 32gb storage.
Formatting through windows with default cluster size will help. (now its 16kb)

Viewing internal (eMMC/USB) and external (SD) storage in Settings>Storage

Hi All
I have searched for answers to this in the forum and I can't find what I am looking for. I am sure some of you will have better search powers than me, congrats if you do.
I've rooted and flashed CM9 on my T989 and I have an SD card in the phone. I do not have much downloaded to my phone at all, as it is a fresh and clean install.
When I go to System>Storage I see the 'Internal Storage' at a paultry 1gb something and my SD card storage. But I do not see the 11gb eMMC/USB internal SD card.
Should I see three sets of storage, Internal, SD and eMMC/USB?

What cm9 version are you running? You should see two sections that at internal storage. One that gives you the 1.97gb (application stuff), another that gives you your "emmc" storage 11.whatever , and then obviously your sd card.
Similar to attached pics.

I do not have that. I am using the stable CM9. Not RC2.

I can toggle between eMMC and external but not see both at the same time.
Also, I can't transfer the apps on the SD card to the eMMC which I'd like to do to put a different SD card in.

Odd, sounds like it could be a bad flash...did you flash over a previous rom or is it a clean flash?

How do you make your external sd card on can be readed by system in cm10?

I am using MX player on cm10 and it seems that video and music on external sd card cannot be read by the system. even I have refreshed the apps but they didn't show up. is that possible to make CM10 read the external sd card other than ONLY usb storage?

I had this problem too.....my solution was to use a file manager to browse for video files on my extSD card and simply select them to play.....that way, MX player would be selected as the app to play them. When I cleared out from this, and opened the MX player app, the list of available videos included everything on the extSD card as well.....

well, I do that too.... I used root explorer to see my external card. the default file manager on CM10 also cannot read the external card.. I prefer the old file explorer...
I assumed that system cannot read the pics on external sd card too... most people SWAP sd card on CM10.. But i cannot work that out coz i want both external and usb sd card can be read by the system. I just hope someday it'll work like it should be like in cm9 or something.

When you press menu....then go to system>>storage......what information do you see for the extSD card?
Do you see something like this?.....

[GUIDE]How to move app data to SD card, running Lollipop

Root is needed. Since many people have been complaining that you cannot install apps to the SD card I found a solution.
It is an app called gltosd. I have been using that on the stock ROM too.
Now the tutorial:
Install the app. Next go to your internal memory and copy the data of the game to /sdcard1/obb which is the folder gl stores app data inside. Now after moving that reboot your device and run the game in the app, after pressing the chain button on the top.
If you have a Gameloft game then store the data to
/sdcard1/games
Data folders (previously in /internal/android/data) are moved to:
/sdcard1/data
Again if you didn't see obb goes:
/sdcard1/obb
Here you go that is it. If you still have issues running apps reboot.
If I solved your issue please just thank me.

It only takes 2 taps to thank somebody here.

It works. But still cant install games from Google Play. For me the best was storage swap, so... finger crossed that anybody find out working method on lollipop.

So as to move apps to SD card and to edit System apps you can also use Link2SD application. (Root needed)

Well, bro, nice app, but there's one more great available, Folder Mount... #JustSaying

Thanks bro, it worked !!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

It's a lot easier bro, you just have to create a folder with same name as it is on internal storage, place the folder at appropriate location, as per need and just have to link them, sdcard folder will be mounted at boot and you can launch the app directly, so efficient.
Here's a example for you
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Actually this does not move apps 2 sd crad, you may want to change the title of this thread
And for the same purpose, I suggest using folder mount because it is far better :good:
You could mount any apk data with folder mount.
