Is there any way to make the SD card show up in the settings on vegan 5.1? im using the pershoot 1/09 kernal...i can see internal storage, but i can't see my 4 gig card in settings. i can still navigate to it with root explorer.
i'm sorry if this is somewhere else on the forums...i searched but could only find the ginger fix. i'm not sure if it's the same...
thank you

When I got my X2, the first thing I did was insert a 16GB SD card (then loaded some files/folders I had backed up, such as apk's) I noticed when I installed ROM Manager (Still don't know why I did that, but...led to something) that when I went to "Install from SD" that ROM manager was seeing my internal memory, not my SD card. So...I just uninstalled ROM manager, thinking it a fluke. Well, I've noticed now that...say if I'm editing an icon and am looking for a picture, or I'm looking for a file in general, my X2 is saying my SD card is my Internal Storage and vice versa. Issue occurs on stock ROM, Eclipse, Atrix port, so I know it's not my ROM.
Any thoughts?
im looking for a similar solution. everything saves to the internal memory instead of the sd card. apps that are supposed to back up stuff to the sd card just do it to the internal memory. i can access the sd card from the phone so it reconizes the sd card. i asssumed it was an OS bug, but its still going on after gingerbread. really need help with this.
If you are running a current version of ATRIX port, alien or eclipse they all have the sd card flip-flop preinstalled on them. There is a thread in android dev subforum with a zip to go back. The stock x2 labels the storage in a different way I guess and the developers prefer to change it. We are just lucky they left a way to change it back.

This is the reason they made the hack to change it in the first place.

Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing this issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.
Are you sure your navigating all the way up? Have you gotten to the directory where you can see "sdcard" and are not seeing "sdcard2"
So simple if you know what to look for. Thank you ever so much.
Does anybody know how to get the old my files back on ics? Not an app from the market.
Im not able to access my external sd card, it says theres nothing there even when there is?
Thanks
No access to the external sdcard?
What ROM?
Are you on a custom rom?
If so, use a file explorer to find /mnt/emmc and you'll see the contents of your external SD card there.
Hi folks! I'm quite new to android so if this is a real noob question where i could have found the answer by myself by doing a little searching (which i did, without much luck) please delete this thread (or point me in the right direction )
I recently got an ACER Liquid Gallant E350 running ICS. According to the specs it should have 4 GB internal storage and of course space for an microSD-card.
However when i check "storage" i have 1GB "internal storage" and 1,6GB "USB storage" and then there is my 32GB microSD card that shows it has 29,23GB.
The thing is the 1,6GB USB storage is seen as a SD-card by the system and also called sdcard when i check with file manager. My 32GB microSD is called sdcard2.
So when i tell the system to install to sdcard it will install to that 1,6GB USB storage (which is almost full!) and i cant find a way to force it to install it to the real SD-card.
Even with app 2 sd it will try to copy the apps to that 1.6GB USB storage and (as far as i can tell) i cant tell it to use the other (real) SD-card.
Is there some sort of fix or work around for this? Did ACER mess up by naming the internal storage sdcard?
I think you have to edit the script to do that manually. Find out the name of the sdcard2 partition, and put that in place of the sdcard partition which is currently in the script. You may need to clear & reflash everything, then flash your customized a2sd script.
Also make sure you've established what partitions you want on the microSD card, and how they are to be formatted.
Ah that sound like more work than i expected. Also i dont think there is a tool yet to backup the ROM for this phone
So i guess im kinda screwed for now. Isn't there an easy way to maybe symlink the data folder to the SD card? (i think it's the android folder isn't it?)
Hello, when you go to storage in settings you have 2 options. 1 is usb storage. This is for sd card 1. 2 is option sd card 2. Mark this one and all will go to sd card 2.

hello, i have the same problem with my acer liquid gallant duo (os4.0.3), when i go to storage in settings in preferred install location i have 3 options:
-internal storage
-USB storage (sdcard1)
-let the system decide
it doesnt have the sdcard2 option..
I have tried the Directory Bind ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 ) and it works but first you have to install it in usb storage(sdcard1) and then move it to sdcard2 and if an app is biger than 1,5gb you cant install it in the first place coze you only have 1,4gb of free space in usb storage(sdcard1)..
in ROM MANAGER i have seen an option that it sais partition sd card, i will read more about it and i will check it out
this is the first android phone that i have and i am new to this
Hi all!!
I also have the Gallant Duo, I love it! But this thing about not being able to move apks to the external sd (sdcard2) is very annoyning? Is there any solution apart from directory bind? Like this one f.e. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/choose-your-own-storage-with-folders-plug/. Does anyone know if this works? Also, does anyone have a modified vold.fstab file with the sdcard2 as internal sd and internal as external?
Looking for an answer to this question i didn't found it here, but i think here should be an answer.
What worked for me:
use the app External 2 internal from the app store.
Check use per default:
The original internal mounting point: /mnt/sdcard
The original external mounting point: /mnt/sdcard2
The ext. sdcard device access: /dev/block/vold/179:25 I'm not sure about this setting, i just looked in the folder and this was the highest number. so more information about this is welcome
With these settings i've good results. But after some reboot's with "at boot**" (no init.d support needed) i lost access to my sdcard, in fact every one.. When I restored my ROM(super stock ROM) using CMW everything worked fine again, no loss of data or whatsoever, and external 2 internal worked again till now.
But now i'm wondering why the boys and girls from super stock ROM didn't fix this upfront..?
Im noticing with my new ham2 I cant move the apps to my 32gb micro sd card? I thought this was allowed on android 4.3? There just literally is no option in the app settings menu where it usually is. Also the 3rd party app apps2sd doesnt work either? Help?! Lol
Same here. I tried app2sd, link2sd, foldermount, titaniumbackup.
None works.
I used one of the 148 backups posted in another thread and it changed my external 64 GB card to internal memory and the phones internal became external. I have no idea why but it works great, hell if I knew how it happend I would do it to all my android devices.
solved
I got it working. So in settings>Storage right at the top "Default storage location" select sd card. Yes everything will now by default download and save to the sd card. But now the option for move to sd isnt greyed out and you can also move back to phone if your tired of evrrything dumped to the sd.
i know this is old thread. Maybe there has been a update since it was created. But on mine. After unlock and root. I installed link2sd. It works fine. My phone l03 is set to internal in settings.
