[Q] xCyanogen 7 - v8 can't see my SD Card - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello,
You guys are doing amazing efforts to let us enjoy our phones to the max, thanks a lot!
Today I installed Cyanogen 7 from here and it worked.
There is this weird problem, as I turn on the phone it says at the top "Preparing SD" but then it says "You can safely remove SD card"!!
Even if I go to Settings -> Storage and then Mount SD, it does the same thing.
Before installing this new ROM I had the normal ROM but modified to run App2SD, so my card has the special partition.
I know I better post to the Dev section, but I don't have enough posts yet :/
What can I do to fix this guys?

v8 does not work in SD partitioned. Had the same problem, I decided to retain only a FAT32 partition. worked

Thanks a lot it solved my problem

xCyanogenPro - Gingerbread v12 works fine

[Q] can't move apps to sd card

juts updated to tazz v28 and cannot move any apps to the sd card - any ideas?
Did you enable app moving in the CM settings? I don't have a CM ROM flashed currently (back to xtrSENSE) so I can't tell you exactly where but I think it's one of the first menus in the CM settings.
yes, i have that selected, and it doesn't matter which app i try to move, even w/ app2sd. when i touch the "move to sd card" button, i get the "failed to move application" error message. any help is greatly appreciated. thank you.
You can always do it again, wipe data+dalvik 3x, reflash. Make sure you do a nand backup before you do any flashing !!!!!
You can also go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733897 Scroll down to post #2 (FAQ)
-This is due to your sdcard being partitioned more than likely. You can either format the entire card on a pc to fat32 or use recovery to unpartition. FROYO won't recognize the ext partitions on your card. App2Sd on FROYO stores all the apps in the same partition as everything else, just in a separate folder that it creates on its own. ***CAUTION***
(YOU WILL LOOSE ANY DATA ON CARD AS IT WILL BE FORMATED SO BACK UP YOUR CARD FIRST!)
-Boot to recovery.
-partition sdcard.
-0 swap
-0 ext2 for apps2sd.
-this will make one whole fat32 partition.
Resolved or no ?????
i've done everything listed w/ no change. the only thing i haven't done is start over and i was hoping to avoid that. everything else is working well, just running out of space. any other suggestions or thoughts? thank you - it is appreciated.

Sadly I think that starting over is about your only choice, if nothing else has fixed it. You could also always buy a new sd card and use that new one, then one by one start copying files onto the new card from your old one. Check the space available every time you copy a file over to see if it is 1 file causing this problem. Not really sure what else to do about it but what I posted should help. Try that out and let me know what happens.
does the platform make a difference? i'm running cyanogen mod tazz froyo 2.2.1 build, v28 on an htc eris phone w/ a 16gb sd card.

What exactly do you mean? Make a difference to what? Your Apps2SD problem or starting over?
No to either one, in this case.
i meant my app2sd card issue. didn't know if anyone else had this build on this phone and was experiencing a similar problem.
Hi,
I am having the same issue with this ROM, Apps move to SD is failing. I just posted a comment in tazz froyo 2.2.1 build, v28 forum. anyone else having this problem ???
I am having this same problem on my dInc after flashing Kingdom Gengersense 3.0, I have yet to try and reformat my sd card. Hoping that will work
Just formatted the card and did not work. Still won't let me move my apps to SD

It won't let you move any? Some apps don't officially support being moved, but you can force move everything (except you'll not want to move keyboards and widgets because then they won't operate correctly) with Titanium Backup or some other apps out there.
Its Super user is bugged for gingerbread since the update im trying to find the fix

[Q] Newbie's problem with sd card partitioning

First of all I want to say hello
I've got some problems with partitioning sd card.
I'm owner of U20i, 8 GB ADATA class 10 card and I've got MiniCM7Pro v21 installed on my phone (through cwm v3.2.0.0-r5). Rom is working correctly.
I wanted to have more space for apps and more ram. I followed this tut:
tinyurl: l2kpno (I can't paste link because I'm new.)
Everything seems to be good but after reboot phone report card as not formatted. So I tried to partition card through cwm - this same effect. When I plug card into reader I can copy files etc. also I checked card surface - no read errors.
Am I doing something wrong Please help me.
Hi
I had the same problem with this rom, cant make it work.
But seems that titoms found a solution.
Check it here.
Hope this helps.
Thx for reply.
After deleting swap and resizing ext to free space phone recognize card and ext also works. But there is one problem: I wanted swap.
If it is problem only with this rom maybe I should try another one, original CM7 for example?
U r welcome.
Sure, there's a lot of roms for u to try. U should pick the one that fits ur needs.
I'm not an expert, but, why do u need swap?
I want to have more ram, for games.
EDIT:
Because installing original cm is quite complicated thing I decided to install GinTonic.SE by slade87.
So I did system, cache and data format; full wipe; cache wipe; dalvik cache wipe; battery stats wipe then I installed modules for gintonic and at the end gintonic.
After reboot phone freeze at Sony Ericsson text. Every time. Why? What should I do now?
EDIT2:
OK. I got back to stock se rom by flashing phone with seus. Then I rooted, installed cwm and made that 3 partitions on sdcard (fat32, ext2, linux-swap). After that I wiped all things (except sdcard and sd-ext), rebooted and installed gintonic. After reboot gintonic started but all time ADW is giving errors about force-closing and card is reported as blank. I installed modules but it didn't do anything. So this is not only with MiniCM7 (swap) problem.
Can I even have a swap partition? And why GinTonic is giving ADW errors (even without sdcard plugged into the phone)?
Ok.
I have GinTonic in my device. I also had that problem with partitions in this rom. After many attempts, I decided to create de partitions with Linux gparted (before i was using minitool partition magic). Then reflashed rom, and the problem was fixed. You should try that.
The only difference between me and u, is that I don't use a swap partition, just Fat32 and ext2. But for what I've read in the rom's thread many users have swap partition working with this rom.
For the adw problem, just install launcher pro and adw should start working. Why? I don't know XD. I installed go launcher and uninstalled the other 2 launchers.
Hope this helps.
Repartitioned through gparted and... "blank sd card".
I can't install launcher pro because adb is giving errors all time and I can't do anything.
I think I will **** this swap and go back to MiniCM.
Anyway thanks for answering.
U r welcome.
Roms unfortunately behave differently from one device to another.
If you want to save memory, I recommend using autokiller memory optimizer and autorun manager.

[Q] storage won't mount in JB

I have a problem. This problem is the reason I stopped messing with JB roms a few months ago. I would try AOKP and CM10 roms both. I don't remember which one had the sd card not reading, but the other one wouldn't have data. So I gave up. I wondered back today and found out that the ota had been leaked. So I installed ss3.07, and used lightwave's util to get a jb kernel so I could dual boot. Then I isntalled hater's blur JB rom. I am running into this problem again where it says no sd card is inserted. I have tried different sd cards, and it reads fine on my ICS roms. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
OH, additional news, when I goto my files app, it doesn't list any internal storage either....but I can still download apps from the market. It says device storage is unmounted.
Trying to get to storage in options FC's settings
To clarify some more things I've figured out, if I'm running a JB rom designed to run on ICS kernel, I can see the internal storage but not SD card. I can also access the storage settings menu. It just reports my internal storage, and says mount for sd card.
On a JB kernel and rom built from the the OTA leak, phone doesn't report any internal or sd card. This happens in any JB rom I try.
I hope this isn't too confusing. I would love to run JB some time soon. Thanks again.
I figured someone might at least have a joke or useless comment :/
I've had problems similar to this. I would take everything I needed off of the sd card and format it. Hope this works.
Tried that. Along with different sd cards. Thanks for the reply though.

CWM 6.0.2.7 - 64 GB ext SD card, Unable to mount / format / access, etc.

Hi there,
I have the following issue and hope to find somebody with a solution here in the XDA-world...would be great.
Of course I did some searching before I post here, but the results are not sufficient for me...
I am using a 64 GB external SD card in my Samsung Galaxy S III since a few days. Before I put data to the card, I performed a format via the phone itself. The access works great - I can use all my files when I use the phone in normal operation. (with Ultima Rom).
Today I downloaded the latest ROM release and wanted to flash it via CWM 6.0.2.7 and I encountered a problem - I cannot access the external SD card in CWM recovery. It simply say´s "Can´t mount external SD".
Why is it? Any solution proposals? I used to have a 2GB card and the installations worked fine with CWM here....
Is it a wrong formatting probably? Or the size?
Thanks for any suggestions!!!
You should do some search before post, but since you are here, I give you some briefly information, but you have to search more details yourself.
1. 64 GB sdcard is formated in exFAT file system which CWM recovery doesn't support it, that's why you have problem with 64 , but OK with 2GB sdcard. (Some latest recovery has now support exFAT I think )
2. Solution, format your sdcard into FAT32 file system, or change to 32 GB sdcard because unless you have countless files or blue ray movies otherwise you won't need 64GB at all, that's what I did, I had 64 and change to 32 to avoid any kinda potential problem

1. Use PhilZ Touch recovery (based on 6.0.2.8 - I think 6.0.2.7 was also very buggy - and with a new Samsung kernel supporting exFAT).
2. Format as FAT32.
I am currently using the 1st approach, but keep in mind that many ROMs (mostly based on CM10 stuff) still have a huge bug where the exFAT partition is not recognized but instead some stuff is written to the first sector - when that takes place just put the exFAT card in a SD-reader in Win7/8, reject any suggestion to format it and then from the command line run CHKDSK /F Letter:
Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot to both of you!!! It worked out! :highfive:
I also managed to search for "how to format an SDCard to FAT32", no problem.
To be honest I also had a look for a possible solution like you suggested prior to my post --> I just was not confident that these suggestions will solve the issue since I read many times "tried - but no success"...
I just wanted to be sure, coming back from work, not to spend hours to solve it, if you already have "the one working" solution available. Once again many thanks - I really appreciate this community, even if its my 2nd active post...

New kernel (from May 13th, used in AEROM and Darksense 2.0.x) cannot access SD card?

Hi!
I could not post this to the Development forum (new member so I'll try it here:
I've installed the DarkSense ROM 2.0.1 which is using a new kernel (extracted from AEROM v2). After fullwipe and install, the system cannot use the SD card anymore. At system start, it tells the SD card is damaged --> select "Portable Storage" and format SD card --> still shows as defect after format.
I've already tried to change filesystem to FAT, exFAT, EXT3, EXT4 using TWRP and reboot afterwards--> all show the same error.
I am using the following card: Kingston SDCA3/128 GB microSDXC (UHS-I U3)
I now flashed back Eragon ROM v2 and all is working well again with the SD card.
So question is: what is responsible for this behaviour? New kernel possibly? Anybody tried the new kernel (either AEROM v2 or DarkSense 2.0.1) with an SD card?
Cheerio!

Can you try the following for me please.
1. Flash my ROM, no need to reboot, just after you've flashed it go to TWRP backup settings and backup boot.img
2. Flash Eragon v2.0
3. Go to TWRP restore and restore boot.img
4. Reboot and test
If it is dodgy after that then its definitely the kernel, otherwise its the new system files from the 20160513 base that are causing the issues.
Cheers.

I did the suggested procedure (with full wipe before installing first ROM DarkSense).
Result: SD card was recognized correctly and working.
So it seems it's the new system files...

OK thanks a lot for testing it out for me, I'll have a look and see what I can do
I have same issue with Darksense 2.0.1 and 128 GB MicroSD-Card from SanDisk UHS-I. SD Card worked fine for a while, but then the described error occurred and it says SD-Card is damaged. It started after i put some new files onto SD-Card (never had that problem with Eragon-ROMs).
Thx for checking that issue...

Different base used on the different ROM's, go back to 1.0.0 on my ROM if its a issue as a short fix for now whilst I look into it further.
@jonny: thx for fast reply and help with that great ROM. I currently do not use the phone as my 'default' phone so it's fine for playing around with the ROM. I will stay on the 2.0.1 and update to 2.1.0. Did you had time to update SD behaviour in 2.1.0 Version?

Not in 2.1.0 no - I think what I'm probably going to do is revert back to the older, but more stable 20160419 base in future versions.
Ok this seems to be a really intermittent issue, it just happened to me and I rebooted and it was fine again... this new base is causing both me and skeleton1911 no end of issues lol.
What I can do is continue the 1.x.x series of ROM's if you want until the base gets a bit more stable or until I hunt down which file(s) are causing the problems. For instance I can bring the new kernel and my fixed Xposed script over to the old base if its something you guys would be interested in, its not a lot of work so I don't mind.
Let me know what you think!
Cheers
Sounds good to me! Although I'm still waiting for my P9000 to arrive, probably tomorrow.
Seems like the better choice to continue with the older base for now, as the latest base isn't 100% reliable (yet).
Just my 2 cts though... ☺
I did a fresh install of your ROM, it didn't like the SD card, so I formatted it. I then copied some files across from the laptop. I then started getting the SD card corrupted messages. If I format, it just gives me the exact same message instantly.
I'm not sold on the new base, so would prefer the older base with the new kernel if that helps.
I'm hoping to get this phone up to standard (decent battery etc) and I can then sell my Sony Z5
I'm running Aerom V2 and don't have this issue. I have a Samsung SD card which was already formatted and it works fine. I've had Aerom on my phone for three days now without a problem?

Yes please, Jonny.
I prefer v1.0, especially adaway!
Another bug I've noticed with the latest version is double texts being sent using messaging app. Not really a problem as I have unlimited plan...
Xposed is what I really want though.
Thanks for all your work
PS - getting SD card corrupt error too now

I've answered that a few posts further up/on the last page, can't remember exactly where.
I'm working on it but slowly at the moment, spent the last few days revising for a 2 hour Java exam today, now revising for a 2 hour Maths exam on Wednesday.
Thank you
