Hello Guys,
I have purchased a micromax canvas a1 from a retail store 2 days ago and there is no problem in the device except that i am not able to access my phone memory (or internal SD) with using any file manager app (root browser also) nor able to access it through pc when connected. Only External SD card is accessible.
There is no problem in app installation, i am able to move app data to External SD card and vice versa. The storage setting also shows internal SD and the app manager too displays the internal SD capacity. Everything is fine except i am not able to view the internal SD card.
I have unlocked bootloader and Flashed CWM and Installed official Cyanogenmod 11 ROM but the problem still persists. You can check the below Screenshots. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that info. Hope Lollipop update may fix it.
Wondering why nobody complained about it.
Thank you again.
I was also wondering why nobody mentioned this..
My internal storage runs out of space all the time and it bugs me that I can't access it.
And as for nexus devices, they don't have an sd card slot at all, so you can access the internal memory.

I tried doing the unmount trick, the one with the terminal. Still nothing
The "funny" thing is that I can install free apps without problem, but when I download Swype and Poweramp unlocker (which I bought) i keep getting this error

Did you try a Link2SD?

Hello, I have flashed the JellyKat ROM v5 on my NoteII and got a new sd card (ADATA 32GB) from ebay, the card was sealed so I hope I wasn't cheated, but randomly I see these things in my DCIM folder and I can't write to the card and the phone seems to not read the media on it music photos everything, and I can't install any apps on it or update existing app or even create a folder through the default touchwiz My Files.
I tried to format the card on the PC but can only do quick format because it loads and loads and then say windows can't format this, I also formated it via the phone it worked for a while and then stopped working again, now I don't put a card in the phone.

I have been using my old card from my tablet all day now and it is working fine I created a new folder and copied some files from internal storage to it to test it and it worked.
Is there a way to fix the corrupted partitions on the other card?

Yup, I also faced that kind of problem before, simply run KitKat SD fix, grant root and let the app patch the platform.xml. Reboot and try again. It worked for me. :good:
Hi guys.
I hope the question has not been asked, but I could not find anything about it.
I have the problem that no app without root privileges can write to my external storage.
I already tried the previous version of the rom below but with the same result.
My steps:
1. Huawei Ascend P6 U06 with B507
2. Fastboot flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0
3. Booted to recovery
4. Wiped everything without internal and external storage
5. Rebooted to recovery
6. installed this rom and gapps
7. Wipe Cache & Dalvik
As soon as I provide an app with root privileges, for example Es Explorer, it can write to external storage. Otherwise the apps can only read.
Is it a know problem? Have I to wipe the sd card before flashing the rom?
Hopefully someone can help me

Yes I can see the emulated and external sd card. I also tried to format the sd with the recovery but ended up with the same problem.
Edit: Now i found out, that this issue is new in Android KitKat. After applying the patch of this post I'm able to write in Es Explorer to external storage, but when i try to download something with Firefox the message: "Cannot download file because the SD card is in use" pops up. Also sending pictures with Threema didn't work.
Edit2: Firefox can't download because I've the same issue with the internal (emulated) sd card. I'm now looking whether I can fix it the same way.

Wipe your internal storage, this should fix all your issues but first backup your files on the internal storage.
Omg thank you very much! After booting into recovery and formatting the internal SD card everything worked fine ?
Can you tell me why it wasn't working before?

This is kinda a bug with AOSP based ROMs for our device that you loose the write permission to the storage and the only way to get it back is to wipe it.
Thanks!!

Hi just want to thank you for this reply. I know it's an old thread, but I recently flashed my Huawei Ascend P6 to CM 11 and got this problem. You made my day a good day
Also do you know if this is a recurring problem?

Hi all, I have installed cm12 with App2sd function on my Xperia M (C1905) and although I get a message for successful movement to the ext card, nothing seems to work as my available internal storege still reduces with every install. Also, if I set the external sd card as the default install location, I get the famous "insufficient storage available" when trying to install big apps although I have more than enough free storage. Clean Master also says "Your device storage and internal SD card are the same, so moving is unnecessary" and google camera's option for saving photos to the external card is also dissapeared.
Despite all these, if I remove the sd card while having applications installed in it, the apps cannot open (popup: app not installed). It seems like the apps are indeed installed in the sd card but my phone believes they are in the internal(?)
Is there something I can do about this? I use a 32 gb fat32 sd card, but I have tried ext4 and ntfs too, with no result. I also can't mount a 2nd partition (if any) with Link2sd.
App2sd works but...does not move complete data...
I feel temp files, apk, and cache still remained in internal sd.
Link2sd if far better...than this...
Oh I see… Unfortunately I can't get link2sd to work for me :/ Do you know if storage swap works on lollipop?
Thanks for your help!

Hey,
The app2sd problem in 10.01 fxp is fixed..
Flash the boot.img in this file using flash tool
http://www.mediafire.com/?cpklvyh374193qw
And no swap method is available for lollipop yet.
Link2sd ll work only if you have two partitions...
Try like this, one partition with fat32 and second partition with ext4 . Good Luck :thumbup:

Hi,
I would like to swap the default storage to the SD card. I have T800 and find the 16gb not enough for all my staff.
Is there any way to swap the default storage? I have found link2sd but I never used it and maybe there is a better solution. I am rooted and running Ironrom .

Thanks for your reply. The app just allows to move the movable apps to the SD but this is already built in and I can do this from the app manager.
I wanted to swap the actual default storage from the internal storage to SD. Some of the smartphones do have this option. (I have a Honor 6 phone and I am able to change the default storage from internal to external. Even without root.)
Unfortunately you can't do that with any Samsung device, they just didn't fix it because of the SD card liability and how they construct their folders. I've been wanting that to make it easy.

That's why i am nostalgic to Jelly Bean . I even get lost of my Windows 8 laptop for the changes i don't like,happy now with Windows 7 and Microsoft knows it , the start menu is back in Windows 10.
And for Android,i stay far away from Lollipop. KitKat is bad enouf for me
when there's a will there's a way
No default to sd card but you can move the installed apps via settings in the apps manager. Also you could try foldermount to link these large files to the sd card
I have recently bought a new Redmi 7 and discovered that I can't move apps to sd card. I have tried the method mentioned on the miui community that formats the sd card as internal storage, but it doesn't work, when I press move to sd card, it gives me an error "Not enough storage" although I am using an empty 16 GB sd card. Is there any solution to my problem?
If I haven't mistaken, both orea and pie doesn't allow moving apps to SD card.

You can force enable adaptive storage on miui 10. The option is there but they hid it for the reason that so it wont cannibalize the sales of their other storage option like 64gb. The only miui i know that have adaptive storage visible is the pocophone. But you can still enable it via adb. Search around xda there's a guide on how

I tried it, but it doesn't work. The SD card storage gets smaller, but the device doesn't recognize the added adaptive internal storage.
