I apologize if this has been answered before.
On my G Tablet, the file manager sees the internal SD card as /sd2 and the external SD card as /sd.
I am currently running Vegan-Tab-v.1.0.0b4
Build number: harmony 2.2 FRF91 20101123.172729
Android 2.2
I would really like it if my internal SD could be seen as /sd and my external seen as /sd2 so that I can try out some of these amazing new mods.
I remember around christmas I did something to change the /sd card names so that my computer could see the external SD card...at least I think I did.
If you know of a way for me to change the /sd2 to /sd please let me know. This has been driving me batty for months. If I am being too vague, lemme know. I'll provide as much information as possible, once I know what to look for.
Thank you for your time.
just a tiny bump to see if anyone can help. thanks.
reflash the rom without wiping user data.
also consider upgrading to the latest vegan froyo (5.1.1)
Thank you good Sir! I shall try it now. BTW, I <3 HGTTG. Long live Zaphod!

Wrong section to post in.. move to general.
Also, from what I last heard, it depends on the ROM you have.. check to see if .8 supports apps2sd.
it doesnt...
we have 512 meg of ram on the eris, so your dont really need apps2sd. i dont believe any of the devs are working on gettings apps2sd implemented as they dont really see a need right now. they might in the future.
thank you
but it would be nice to install apps to the sd card. Why have such a big sd card 8gb fore pics...or music geez.

EvilEris 1.1 is supposed to be set up for this, as it is on the Hero in VillainROM.
You have to create a partition on your SD card (ext3? ext4?). This looks like it can be done from Recovery. I'd back up my SD card onto my computer first, because I assume partitioning the SD card will wipe it.
I don't know if anyone has attempted or done this though.
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 !!!!!

-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
I'm not able to get the Internal SD card to mount after installing the pre-beta cyanogenmod 7. Is there some setting I'm missing or something that I need to do in particular?
Prior to install I was on the alien build and everything worked fine. Now when I go to the root directory using RootExplorer it says 'the sd card is not currently mounted'.
I've had my atrix for a while and i'm not a complete noob, just not an avid poster. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I have checked the storage menu and i do have 1.17GB of free space.
It can be found under /mnt/emmc. Unfortunately, I have to inform you for future reference that this is the wrong forum for such a question. Q and A exists for a reason, but I hope I helped.
Please post in the correct sections. Thread moved.

Thanks for the help. I found that but how do I get, for example, Rom Manager or other applications to recognize that location?
Mr Clown, My apologies for posting in the wrong section.

+1 wondering the same
i would also like to know, as i have only a class 1 microsd card and it creates wakeup lag. if i take it out, there is no wakeup lag but my phone wont recognize the internal storage.
I think it varies by application. Some will let you browse there and set it as a default directory for things, but many will not. I have just gotten used to having duplicates of random stuff for now :S I think it is pretty unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Maybe someone will develop something like this:

That's for the Nook, but I can't see why someone couldn't do that for the Atrix. However, I would imagine it won't be our own CM7 team because their task is to port CM7, and thus they are following the CM standards.
I have this problem too, i dont hae a external SD Card
im used to the internal 16 gb as my memory
now iwth CM7 , the phone is lost, browsr wont download, titanium wont find the sd card, nothing is working
so is an EXTERNAL sd card a pre-requisite for CM7, i never knew this..
and if so, what does CM7 do with the huge internal memory if it saves everything to the external (atleast thats where apps see it)
Hi there,
I have recently purchased a SGA and am a keen techno geek so have been messing around and have installed the end ROM and CWM 5 + a few scripts and the phone seems to be working ok, battery drains in a few hours and the system seems a bit slow in general.
However I have been reading on here about formating the SD card and partitioning it etc so I was wondering if someone could give me a quick guide through on how to whipe the SD card format it corectly etc so that I know I have it all up and running corectly. I would greatly appreciate it! I have a 16GB SD card.
Kindest Regards
That's a lot of work you've done for recent purchaser of SGA..
Anyway, motive of partitioning SDCard is to use some of SDCard's memory as a Internal. So that you don't reach at the low internal memory problem.
Since you're using CyanogenMod based ROM, I would recommend THIS guide.
Its pretty simple.
Thank you!!!!!
I saw a thread on this last week, before I'd rooted the tablet, and can't find it any more. Please feel free to point me if my question's already been answered!
I have an A101It, so gen 8. I've just rooted it with the '-rw' method on here. Thing is, I can still only use the SD card for file storage - can't even move apps onto it - and would really like to know how to get the system using it as extra 'internal' memory. I might possibly be looking to use it as a swap file, I'm not clear on the terminology. At the very least I should be able to install apps to it, shouldn't I?
Can you do this with the root method I've used, or should I undo that and use uruk droid instead? Has anybody posted working instructions on getting some performance advantage from an SD card? (Or shall I just fill it up with 32gb of pointless home videos that nobody will watch?)
Not sure if i can help but ill try it anyways , did u try the ''app 2 sd'' apps?
I used them when my internal storage was full so i could move my apps to my SD card so i had enough space again.
Hope this helps!
