CWM Swapped Internal and External storage. This happened right after I formated /system to flash a ROM. Any ideas why it did this and/or how to fix it?
Yes some clock work mod do that. Also cyanogen mod default is swaped.

Before I ever started flashing kernels or ROMs my GS2 sees my internal card as the SD Micro card and my SD Card as the internal card?? Anyone else have this or know why this is??
Example, just now I went into CWM to update my SHOstock ROM and had to choose internal card for it to see the update even though I put the update on the SD Card..
same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed my gs2 for the first time. i thought at first i accidentally loaded the zip onto my internal sd accidentally but i double checked and it was definitely on the external sd.
That's just the way it works on Entropy's kernel. I believe it even says so in his thread.

Yup. Someone didn't read the Changelog.
Cyanogenmod labels their partitions differently than Samsung-derived ROMs (Samsungs don't follow the current Android standard).
Right now the CWM binary in Daily Driver is pulled straight from CM7, so I haven't had a chance to recompile and label the external SD as external instead of internal

Hey guys. How do I make the external SD card the default location to where my data goes. I bought 9 MM And it required a full gig of data and it all went on my internal storage

No clue - turns out that what the OP was talking about was how CWM reports internal vs. external.
Hiya guys I have an issue which is causing problems in my phone.
Basically i think it all started since i formatted my emmc by accident two months after having my phone.
My issue is in recovery my phone see`s the internal memory as the external and vice versa, i have just noticed in file explorer that to see the internal memory it goes through the .mnt/sdcard is this right?
Yes, that is normal.
Hi, the ./mnt/sdcard is right, your phone is equipped with ginger or ics???
Ics the problem is that in cwm recovery my internal and external are the showing the wrong way round. External shows phones memory and internal shows the sdcard memory ??

There is no problem, it is normal. Move on, forget about it.
OK
One more thing before I make another thread and fill up this useful section. What causes the ums lunfile fault when trying to mount the SD card in cwm? I also encounter this fault in ics?
Sorry and thanks for the help :thumbup:

how to change Galaxy S2 mount point to external SD?
i dont want to use the DirectoryBind..
cant it just adjust all default mounting point to external SD?
No you can't, unless you flash custom kernel like Neak. On stock kernel ROM, the internal memory is mounted as SDCard to make sure you always have your SDCard ready.

Thanks for the help.

Go into settings. Scroll down to device/storage/usb storage/erase usb storage. Just copy and paste anything you want to keep to your 32gig external storage.

thanks for the quick reply.. i see inside my internal card a folder called apps if i erase that i would have to download the apps again? I guess that they will crash right?
I dont know if in the internal sd card there is like a system folder or something like it... so if i delete a folder my phone wouldnt crash?

If you have gone into settings/devices/storage/usb storage, and seen apps there, then more than likely you have made a backup using something like rom toolbox, TB, ultimate backup or mybackup.
If you browse to internal sdcard, you will see where your backup is kept. Copy this to your 32gig card along with photos etc.
You can then safely format it. Just copy the folders back once done.

I noticed in touch cwm there is a few things to format like:
format /system
format /data
format /cache
format /sd card
format /external_sd
format /data and media and /data/media (/sdcard)
can i format them all EXCEPT format /external_sd then flash Rom?, (because that's where the Death Star Rom will be to flash)
Hi there....I've had my S2 for just over a month, in that time, I've done more ROM flashing, kernel flashing and tweaking than I did to my old phone over the year + that I owned it......
I've read that wiping data, cache and dalvic *can* leave bytes of old ROM etc undeleted.......
I'm beginning to experience some lag during normal daily use, so it's my intention to *completely* format EVERYTHING I can and start fresh (to see if it helps.....can't hurt right?).
So, I boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage and I see options to format.....
1) cache
2) system
3) data
4) preload
5) emmc
6) sdcard
So, I'm familiar with the first three options, but then I see....
Preload
No idea what this is, or even if it's safe to format (a Google search is no help either)
Emmc......whenever I see that, I think BRICKBUG......
Is it safe to format this using CM10.1s CWM.....even though the phone came out of the box running 4.0.4?
Sdcard.......is this internal storage, or is this the removable micro SD card that currently holds all my pictures, music and videos (also this card will be where I download the fresh copies of the rom/gapps to, and where I'll be installing them from).
One final (probably noobish) question. Is there a danger that I might unintentionally erase CWM as a result of formatting these partitions (specifically emmc).........
Thanks in advance.......

Preload is used for system apps in stock jb and for dualboot.
Emmc is your internal sd card
sd card is external sd card

Thank you DubAholic.....
So none of the above are the removable (in my case 32gb) micro SD card, and all are safe to format? No concerns with emmc and brick bug?.....
No likelihood of erasing the CWM?...

Sd card is the removable sd card
And normally it should be ok to format, but be sure to backup internal & external sd to pc
Always happy to help

OK....completed the full wipe and re installed cm10.1 and gapps followed by my apps.......
Made no appreciable difference. Can anybody recommend an app that monitors which apps are the resource hoggers?......
