I'm using a gslate and I can't delete items from the internal storage. When I use File Expert or Astro to perform a delete, it gives me an error.
The device is rooted and I also tried to delete the items by using the terminal. When I run 'su' and then use rm *.* it says permission denied.
How can I fix this?
have you mounted it as read/write? root explorer gives you the option to toggle between r/w and r/o and i highly suggest you use it
Tried that...
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I've already tried that but it didn't work.
Again, this is user memory, not filesystem storage...
A user should be able to delete their own media. I can't
sounds like you might have a corrupted memory storage unit. like are you talking a sdcard when you say user memory or onboard device memory?
Onboard Memory
I'm talking about the onboard memory since this gslate doesn't take an sdcard.

I have Samsung Galaxy S II with CyanogenMod 7.1.0(Android 2.3.7). Under "Storage Settings" there is "SD Card"(built-in 10 GB), "Internal Storage"(2 GB, afaik, it's place, where system and system apps are installed), and "additional storage: /mnt/emmc" - it's my 32GB microSD.
As in the name, external microSD is mounted in /mnt folder. I can easily access it, using Root Explorer and CM7 built-in explorer. However, most of normal Market apps, cannot, cause they only access /mnt/sdcard. I have feeling that external SD is used only by me, TitaniumBackup and SMSbackup.
When I had original Samsung firmware, there was "external_sd" folder in "sdcard", so all applications that can access sdcard, could use microSD.
I don't want to use "Use internal storage" in CM7 settings, cause I would like system to mainly use built-in 10GB, however I also want Market apps to have access to external SD. I found script which makes shortcut in sdcard, but when I create second emmc mount, applications like Gallery, Music etc. show duplicates, so I think removing /mnt/emmc will repair this.
Is there a tweak for CM7, that removes emmc from /mnt and mounts it in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, or simply makes CM7 storage management Samsung firmware-like?
P.S. I'm begginer at this forum, so if I placed this thread in incorrect section, sorry.
I don't think I would do that. You would probably brick your phone. That partition is what boots your phone and controls your kernel. If you move it to the SD card and you power on your phone, I don't think it would know to access the partition on your SD card...

But I don't want to move system partition mount point to sdcard, but microSD mount point.
Same problem here. I am running cm7 on my galaxy s i9000.
Need a way to mount external SD card for market apps.

Thank you, it's exactly what I was looking for. Liked.
I've noted a problem with SD Card permissions after updating to ICS. I am not rooted, and now that I have updated, it doesn't look like I can root now but the card appears to be Read Only for everything except the preloaded apps.
Any third party app (Astro, Chrome, etc) cannot save files to the SD card. I have to save the file on internal card and then use File Transfer to move it over.
I've found a few suggestions on how to fix it but it requires Root access. Does anyone have an idea how to change the permissions without Root?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think it's possible to change permission assigned to the sdcard2 (external sd), because the file you have to modify is in the system partition. It is possible if you have root permission on your tablet.
Bye ENx
You might use /mnt/sdcard2 instead. At least with ES File Explorer this works fine. Try to contact the developers of your Apps if they don't provide a configuration option.

That's not going to help. In ICS, the external SD is still mounted at /mnt/sdcard2, but now its mounted read-only for non-Sony apps. You would need root to remount the SD card if you want rw to sdcard2, so I've got nothing.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly. I successfully copied a file into /mnt/sdcard2 with ES File Explorer. A copy to /sdcard2 fails.
I'm at ICS.
Information on this issue: "Is Google blocking apps writing to SD cards" (I'm not allowed to post link)
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the /mnt/sdcard2 option but it still failed. I have several ways to work around it but it's just annoying that it can't be easily fixed.
I read where ICS 4.06 fixes this but no telling when Sony will release an update to that. I will probably just wait until I can root the device.
Thanks again.
i'm writing to sony support, it's really stupid that i can't access my SD with the file manager i like !
Won't see sd card
Hi guys, i have a problem.
I bought a new sd card and tablet won't see it.
But in phone that sd card could be read.
What is the problem?
I tried to format sd card but the same.
Also the sd card from phone could be read in tablet, that is strange
Make sure the SD card is formatted in FAT32 so the Tablet can read it.
My galaxy s5 started showing memory full when all storage programs said there was about 5 gb left.
I downloaded foldermount and it said it found the issue so it was going to repair it.
Well after I rebooted. The internal sd card(phone memory) is not mounting.
When connected to the PC, it shows 128mb.
on ES FIle explorer SDCARD shows "???" and when I attempt to open it ask what file I want to open it with, but with the program storage analyzer it finds the "data" folder just fine and lists all the files and folders within it.
In the phone settings options, it can show the amount of memory being used along with the media, mp3, apps, so the Folder is still there along with all the info, it is simply not mounting properly?
Thank you.
UPDATE: I found the path of where all my files are at, but the phone is not mounting it as the internal storage?
It is located at data/media/0 and mnt/sdcard0 or mnt/sdcard1 are missing.
* Aside from Phone being rooted, there were no other modifications
* Phone is running on original OS(as opposed to roms or such)
*There is not an external sd card in the phone
Folder mount will not do anything for you really without an SD card. After you use it to clear space you need to unmount all the folder it mounted to view what is actually in the folders. If not it will show the folder that it is linked to and look like it never worked. Changing your system data to SD data in your case keeps it in internal memory and does not free it up. You need to use folder mount with a SD card for it to help you. Saved me over 500Mb with it on my s5

Sorry, long story short,
My phone mnt/sdcard and sdcard links are no longer there. Is there a way to recreate the links? Certain apps are still able to function because they are using the actual link, device/media/ect, ect, /0/ folders as opposed to mnt/sdcard/
I saw on another forum that
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
May help, but not sure if it is only for roms and not for original OS.
On another forum there was talk about recreating a syslink?
Solved:
Simply went to "system/bin" and erased the "sdcard" file and renamed the file "sdcard.backup" to "sdcard". Rebooted and it solved the issue.
Hey all,
Has anyone had success using Apps2SD or similar? I have a rooted Z3TC and have been trying to partition and create mount scripts for the microSD card in the app but keep running into an error.
Error:
Mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 on /data/sdext2 failed: No such device
I have posted on the dev forum but wanted to check if anyone in the device specific forum has speciality knowledge. And devs are often worked off their feets!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Solved.
2nd partition needed to be formatted as ext4. Still a whole load of other issues to sort through, but I have a working version. (Will never buy a device with this small internal memory again!!!)

Hello.
I have the App2SDPro app and have not been able to get it to work. Can you explain in more details how you did it? 16GB is always making me delete stuff...but there is no phone that can match this size so I just need to find a way to move apps.
Thanks!
Hi,
I use App2SD since a while due to the ridiculous amount of memory of this device. I have something around 320 applications installed with games, gps/maps... all locally installed.
I don't use the "Link apps to SD card" option but only the "Folder Mount" one.
I barely move everything on the root of the internal SD to a dedicated folder on my external SD card.
The trick is to find the folder on which App2SD has the write permissions. As there is a several location for both internal and external storage location it can require some try/fail tests...
I'm on LineageOS and I use these links to move all the obb folder to the external SD card:
Source=/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb
Destination=/storage/NNNN-NNNN/DCIM/App2SD_folders/obb, with NNNN-NNNN the internal SD name
I have unchecked all the options as I normally prefer to move them manually with a file explorer to make some cleanup in the same time.
For some reasons there was some limitation to move directly the Android folder, so do the same for the /Android/Data folder.
Cheers
I have that TV box and the only app that can write to external storage is the internal File Manager.
There are 2 system apps: internal storage and multimedia storafe that have their permission dissable and I can't change them. I suspect this is the issue.
Anyone can help? Perhaps with an adb command? I don't want to root.
