Any way to change default storage - Motorola Photon 4G

Hey guys I'm running the alpha 15 of CM9 and was wondering if there was a way to change default storage. On cm7 I used the ext SD card as my default storage and noticed there is no setting in CM9 like in CM7 that allows you to change default storage. Any way to do this? Also I know others running a stock ROM rooted would like to know if there us a way too. Thanks

I'm thinking that is something you might have to set in any app that uses the sd card. Seems like it would make more sense to have it done in phone settings though.

Some apps you can but preprogrammed games like gta 3 don't let you

You can move the files yourself. It's kind of annoying but that's what I do to get games working on a rom that switches the storage on me. (And to avoid downloading it all again)

Well I would but not enough room lol. What can I say I love my games. Pretty much why I got the phone

[Q] Swype having to be re-selected on reboot.

It seems like every time I reboot my phone I have to toggle the swype/touch input to get swype to work. I'm running Das BAMF 1.7 remix currently but had the same problem on 1.5, 1.6, and 1.6.2. Anybody else have the same issue and know a solution?

True on stock too. I think thats just one of the swype beta bugs.

Thanks for the info. I rooted this phone after having it for only a day so I can't really compare. The issue might be with the booting process as a whole for input. Anybody with slide-it have the same issues I wonder...?
Is swype installed on your sd card? If so, it has to be loaded along with the rest of the sd contents after a boot. Move to the phone to fix it.

Swype can't be installed on the SD card. The option is grayed out.

a few MIUI 1.7.29 Vibrant bugs

1.Theme manager FCs when selecting any online theme. you can click edit theme and choose any part of a theme without FCing and it will actually download the whole theme but it would be nice to be able to preview the whole theme instead of having to see each part of the theme individually. (tried the theme manager semi-fix posted by miui-us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991267
2.Browser FCs when trying to download a file.
3.Icons reorder themselves when launcher reboots.
4.the new market is extremely slow. nice look though.
Any help would be much appreciated. thanks.
I am running this Rom, and was wondering if anyone else was having issues with the sd card showing up as 16gb, and the internal showing as 2gb?, so it's basically reversed. It seems to cause issues when installing apps and such
Noone?

Need Help Switching Keyboard!

I flashed CleamROM Kang Tablet Edition to my Rezound. I LOVE it and its a great daily rom BUT everytime i go to changed my keyboard in the settings, it force closes. Please help. Anyone know another way i can change my keyboard to go keyboard or smart keyboard?!?
Also anybody know of any security apps to lock the phone COMPLETELY?! Everytime i go to set a pattern or pin lock it force closes!
Usually when you get force closes you should fix app permissions. So since I do not know of another way. I would suggest that you fix your permissions in amon ra then retry. Other than that I have no help but I think that you should at least try that. Good luck and I hope you can find another way or the permissions fix works.

it didn't work :/
Did you fix permissions in amon ra. And also check to see if any other sections to the settings app are killing themselves. And did you say you are using the tablet version of the Rom for a resound.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Another idea would be trying to use an app link to go to the settings like when I used use swiftkey it would automaticallly send me to settings. Some times when you kill.the app and do that you have enough time to get into settings before it kills itself. Just a suggestion.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
After rereading your post more closely I would recommend that you change Rom you can get security applications but if.you are having an array of problems.with the system settings app then I would recommend changing to the last stable version of tha Rom.

nope ): still not working.. someone told me to change the "dpi" (whatever that is).. but idk how...
Oh to do thavyou can get an app called Rom toolbox in the android.. er play store. You go to the build props tweaks and you can edit from there I think that the default is 320 but I've never edited it before and I don't know whether.you should raise or lower. Just by looking at the number is say its safe to assume that you should raise by 10 then test then lower by 20 in other words 320,330,310
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
okay.. on the tablet edition of cleanROm the dpi is 192 though.
Try 320 that is stock rezound 192 seems awfully low.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Maybe go there with incriments and reboot between each change.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
thank youuuuu!!! i changed it to 280, did what i had to do, then back to 192..
much thanks!
No problem.

Self deleting apps

Does anyone else occasionally experience an app mysteriously vanishing after restarting your phone? It's not as frequent anymore but it will happen to me with certain apps.
I'm wondering if this is because somehow they aren't compatible with my 64GB microSD- IF that's the default save location or if anyone else is experiencing this.
Thanks!

First of all, apps can't be saved on the microSD card on this phone. Check my FAQs on that.
Secondly, I've heard of disabled apps re-installing themselves on our phone on reboot, but not the other way around. Can you tell us which apps are doing that?
Airdroid, Fatbooth, FartDroid, etc... you know.... important apps... lol. This is my second phone to do it. The XDA app used to do it too. Some others as well. Their icons still show in folders but when you click it says the app is not installed.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
I've experienced the same problem. They will randomly come back to life, but it seems if apps are stored on what the phone thinks is the SD card rather than the internal storage, it has a greater tenancy to vanish.
I've had this happen a few times. I have not noticed whether they are apps I have moved to the phone storage area or not.
When I move them, they seem to be ok. That is until an update for that app, if I restart before moving it back it'll delete.

Last night I moved my apps from internal to phone storage to make more space. After a while, my phone died. When I turned it back on, guess what? 90% of the apps vanished from my phone. Here I am redownloading everything... is this normal or does my phone have problems?

That same kind of thing happens to me. ADW remembers the apps where there, but can't launch them.
Guys, do me a favor and call HTC. They have nooo idea about this bug.

Any commonality between you three who have seen this? One is using ADW launcher....
I might return and exchange the phone. No apps will save to phone storage and it keeps telling me I have insufficient storage in the internal storage.... Can anyone save to phone storage, restart and see if apps are still there?

Might be something with your handset I have 1.6GB on phone storage and haven't had any apps self delete. I have run out of space on the internal storage, 1GB there isn't much. My plan is to s-off over Christmas when work shuts down and see if any progress has been made being able to move apps to the external SD. There was some talk about it a while ago.
Thanks for the response! Perhaps I have an issue with my phone. If I move apps to phone storage they will be completely deleted upon reset.
When I click apps on phone storage it shows the apps that are really in internal storage but when you click the apps they say "move to phone storage". Very strange.
I'll do a factory reset and see if it helps the issue.
How many apps do you have on phone storage?

I hope so! I'm going to do a factory reset tomorrow and see what happens. If it's not fixed I'll replace it after Christmas that way they should have a fresh batch. My last Inc 4g had the same issue.

[Q] AOKP Milestone 2 and my SD Card

So I wanted to try AOKP out on my Note II and I like it. However, after coming from CyanogenMod 10.1 where I could use my 64gb sd card, when I put AOKP on, my sd card could no longer be read. Any suggestions? Do I need to format it? Thanks!
Bump! Any input? I really liked some of the customization features (esp AOKP Dark, battery icon was nice too) and Action Launcher didn't make my icons and spacing all weird. I know some Roms require you to format the SD card, but I didn't see that as a step that needed to be done.
Thanks!

Probably because the ROM has a kernel that doesn't support exfat. That's probably what your sdcard is. There's a thread with a file that mounts it for you but I forget where it is.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
That was my guess, but I hadn't seen that as a something needed so I wasn't going to do that unless needed. I'll probably just wait for now and see how all the 4.3 work turns out for CM and AOKP. Thanks!
