Help all, would really appreciate it.
I'm on Mahdi's latest ROM with RedKernel, Android 4.4.4. Everything works great, except the external SD card. It will usually work once, after I use a KitKat external SD patch app. So then, i can put a file/movie on there and play it. The next time I try to write to the ext. SD card, it looks like it works, but its not readable at all. No matter how many more times I try the patch app, it doesn't work. It is so frustrating.
I am willing to change ROMs, Kernels, downgrade to 4.2, whatever.
Can someone tell me what to try, do and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
:crying:
I use http://repo.xposed.info/module/kz.virtex.android.sdcardfix to allow sdcard access. Works great on stock.

search site for Z4root and then plug Ascend into computer, mount SD card so it shows up as a storage device, copy Z4root to SD card, un mound SD card so device is back to just charging. Also very important, on the forums is step by step how to use Z4root including steps to follow. I have rooted 3 Ascends without a problem with the steps from the forums.

Head over to my site, MyAscend.org - there is a custom ROM called Icarus that has all the bloatware removed, apps2sd, OC kernal, and more. It's really to install, you will just need to use an older version of clockwork (not the one that is in ROM manager). There is full instructions, just go to the developers post about the ROM. he released this rom on my site, and its a very good one. My phone is soooo much faster now!!!
You can't have apps 2 sd on stock ROM btw.
rom
really didn't want to do the rom thing i guess i will just have to wait for the update from everything i have been searching supposibly it suppose to be out by end of month if not then i will do the rom deal i feel it would be pretty crummy if they dont do an update i have had cricket service almost since they started and this is the first brandnew phone i have bought from them cause it was a droid so if they dont fix i will be very and i do mean very upset with them so cricket lets get the ball rolling
2.1 doesnt support app to sd its one of my bigest complaints about this phone
Ok i posted this in q&a forums but imma put this on here too. ok so i wanted to install data2ext after having to re flash CM7 on my phone. so after i installed it at first it was working fine, but when i rebooted my phone, and tried to play music, install apps to my SD, etc, my phone wouldnt let me, i tried goin to storage, and my phone didnt show up! i tried hitting the format button on that page and that didnt work either, i have googled like a mad man for the last 3 days and nothing has worked
! please tell me someone has the answer to my horrible problem, i have a lot of vital things on there that i could never get back so pleaseeee!!!!! help me!
I know this isn't an answer (and it looked like you were getting some help in another thread), but rule #1 when doing anything with an sd card: Back it up first!
Have you tried removing the sd card and putting it into a card reader to see if that gives access to it?
Did you ever figure out a work around this, ogimnella? I've come into a similar problem.
@mojoffdawal no, unfortunately (and fortunately) i had to use a backup memory card, it is another data2ext guide that works (cuz i installed it on the backup) i will edit the guide soon as my pc fixes!

Does anyone know of an app that can be used to transfer games/apps to an external hard drive? Or any way in general to do this? I heard of SD partitioning but im pretty sure it needs a flashed rom which im currently stuck in trying to get since Razr M doesnt have a recovery mode i can use. (I already tried Safestrap and it has no luck for me) I have already tried Link2sd and App 2 SD. Any other ways to get my games/apps to my sd card? Im running Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Razr M does have a recovery, you get to it by holding Power and Volume Up when it's turned off. It's useful if you need to reset your system, since you can use the Razr M utility here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249773 to flash the official 4.1.2 system.
But you shouldn't need to mess with the recovery to transfer games or apps to an SD card. I know that the native app2sd command in Link2SD doesn't work, but the symbolic link does. All you need to do is have your phone rooted (which the utility can also do) and put a second partition on your SD card, which is fairly straightforward. The Link2SD FAQ page has a couple of partition managers for each OS listed.

Im kinda nooby to the Whole android thing since i just recieved my phone like 2 weeks ago and ive been really adapted to the IOS software. But i was thinking of making a partition on a new SD card, Like 8 GB or something. But i was wondering if the stock 4.1.2 Firmware i currently use, will it be able to use the effect of the partitioned SD card?

Yes, you'll be able to use the partitioned SD card. I don't remember if Link2SD requires the partition you make ext2/ext4 or what, but you'll be more than capable of using it, as long as your phone is rooted. The utility I linked in my first post can do rooting if you need to root your phone.
Yeah my phone is rooted already. Will i be able to partition my SD card through ROM Manger? I've seen a couple videos about it. And also to Flash CWM or TWRP ino my device, my bootloader has to be unlocked correct?

I don't know what the features of ROM Manager are. It might be easier to do it on a computer, but there might also be partition utilities for Android. I really couldn't help with that. And yes, to change your recovery you need to unlock your bootloader. All of that can be done with the utility.
Alright thanks man! You've been a great help! i just got a 16 Gb SD Card and im going to partition it sometime in the future. Thanks a lot mate!
tutorial
can someone please post a YouTube tutorial on how to use this utility
So I recently decided to try and flash a custom ROM onto my phone. It all worked ok (I had originally flashed Cyanogenmod) but I decided to try out another ROM. so I proceeded to flash the latest Carbon nightly. This however did not go so well; most things were broken and so I decided to go to a previous backup of Cyanogen. This was when I noticed that my SD card was not working correctly. If I plug it into my laptop, I can view the SD card no problem. I have tried to revert to a backup but that didn't work. While I was trying to fix this by myself, in all my stupidity I wiped the SD card, thinking that it might fix it. Needless to say that I was wrong, and now I have lost all my backups but one (the on that I saved to my laptop).
So my question really is, what steps do I need to take in order to fix this. This is my first post so I don't know what information to give you. Please, if I have omitted any important information, tell me in a comment.
EDIT: I just realised that my camera and flashlight also do not work. But this might be a side affect.
Thank you to anyone who can help,

You say that u are able to view the sd card in computer. Copy the ROM zip of the previous cyanogenMod u were using and the relevant gapps to the sd card. Flash the ROM in the usual way and it shud work.. right...??

Hopefully, but I used a backup (before I wiped them) and it was still broken. I'll try what you have suggested anyway when I'm free. Thanks for the response.
Hi all,
because of less posts I am forced to ask in this section.
As I can see the headset volume buttons issue is fixed for our device. What about the external storage?
I am not new in flashing a custom ROM, but still am not able to move apps to external storage the default way. There even is no option for this in the application menu.
Actually I am waiting for the delivery of my new micro SD card, but am thinking about a complete wipe/re-install when I received it. What do you think, is it worth a shot or won't that solve the issue?
Thanks for your intentions in this

Install folder mount
sent from my i9192 with CM11 by sekil
If you want hassle free, using move to SD feature from the ROM iteslf, wait for the new build of SlimKat. The author is testing and implementing this feature as we speak. Give it sometime, it should be ready soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708677
Thanks for your answers, guys. I was just wondering, because on my i9100 running cm 11 kk 4.4.2 this was no problem. Same on the versions I used before.
I already have FolderMount installed, but only use it for one application for testing. But that is not the same. I was looking for a way to automatically move applications I just installed to the SD card. On my old build CleanMaster did that for me. Now I need to do it immediately after installation or I will forget about it.
But thanks anways!
