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)

I want to give everyone a heads up about a series of fixes JC Sullins has created for CM7 running on the HP TouchPad. It is important that you go to his thread "CM7-fixes-for-sdcard-issues", in the rootzwiki/Touchpad forum and read the whole thing. I would post the direct link, but I don't have enough posts here yet to be allowed. Maybe one of the moderators can help out with that. I'm trying to spread the word about this important issue.
If you are having to move apps off onto your SD card because you are running out of internal memory, you have hit the 50+ app limit on your SD card, you are in serious trouble. JC also created a fix for something that is not working in CM7 called
fsck_msdos. This routine is supposed to check your SD card and fix any errors it finds. It turns out that the version in CM7 as released does not work. JC's fixes take care of that, the internal memory problems and the 50+ problem.
However, if you do nothing else, do his fsck fix and protect your SD card. Go read the thread and tell all your friends who are running CM7 or for that matter any Android rom cause they are all based on some version of CM7.
I'm trying to get more storage by swapping them but having trouble found so. I tried most of the other internal external swap tutorials but they haven't work either. Is there an guide compadible with the optimus g or does any one knows how to do it. Thanks in advance. Currently on Tom the base 0.7.3 I believe is the version.
This wont answer your question but remember something. Memory can fail and the more its written to and read from the more chances it has to do so. Now im not saying using your internal memory would break your phone. You could use it for years and have no problems at all. But if and when it does fail wouldnt you rather it be a replaceable external sd card?

I already tried to do some research on it. But I didn't want to mess up my phone to try to get it to work. I know that it would have to be edited to match our dev blocks and mount points but I'm not a dev and would be blind trying to get it to work. I did how ever do the next best thing to recover some space; see my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056662.
If another dev or experienced person could get the SD Swap working it would be great. I used it for the longest and never had issues. Also, even with the SD Swap if you booted without an External SD Card the swap wouldn't occur and it would use the internal sd. It was perfect.
First thing I did when I realized this internal/external sdcard thing was to open up my terminal app and attempt a simple symlink (deleting sdcard and putting a symbolic link in its place to external). when I got the error message, the hideous reality of it hit me... this is linux on fat32 filesystem. :vomit:

Hi,
another forum recommended I register and ask my question here. I am not a techie. I don't know what I'm doing. This is probably a basic question, but with all the googling I've done, I can't find the answer!
Here goes, and please be easy on me:laugh:
My GS3 was running really slow, running down the battery, just in general not running as well as I remembered from a year before buying it. I decided to back it up, reset it and start from scratch. The phone has run AWESOME! One problem though; when it updated, it installed 4.3. Ever since, I can't do anything with my SD card. I get an error that the SD card is full, and if I look in the settings, it shows zero space on the SD card. If I plug it into my mac, it shows like 12gb of space.
I used to use Android File Transfer and that doesn't work anymore. I recently tried Airdroid, which works great for the internal storage, but tells me that my SD card is full.
Help!
PS I tried to post a link to a screenshot of what storage on my phone looks like, but since I'm a noob, I'm not allowed
When you upgrade to android 4.3 it will change your storage partition from sdcard0 to emulated/0 ... simply it will change its partition so all your old files will not be visible there but they are still in your memory... I suggest you find your old files and move them to new directory... There are many threads on how to find your old files.. Search

Sorry for the double post. I just realized, I should have posted this in this section. Mods can delete the other if needed.
Thanks

Download the sd formatting tool and use it on your pc to format your extremal sd card.
If you meant your internal storage the go read the sticky thread in general, about the changes 4.3 makes.

Hi guys
I'm a noob in all of this... Not sure what went wrong, as I initially installed and rooted my Moto Z just fine. Installed custom ROMs no problem. However, after flashing another rom, I can't seem to pick up my internal storage on my device.
My PC recognises it and I can copy files over fine, but when I look in my file manager nothing. When I click show internal storage, there is nothing.
In TWRP, I can mount the internal storage, but I notice that I no longer see the Internal option under partitions. So booting into a rom is fine, but downloading anything from a browser tells me no SD card found(don't have an sd card in my phone) and no space available. It's as if it just doesn't recognise my internal storage , and is pointing to my SD card which I don't have one in.
Am I missing something here, as I just can't figure this out.
Thanks
