Hi there
I have a big problem with my phone,every time that i try to save a program on memory card i can't access the icon, it appear like corrupt and impossible
to find the program.I can access the program from my phone using the file explorer for example:
Memory card/program/ if i do it this ways it work's but not from the program section.
At the beginning i thought that was a problem with my memory card,so then i've bought another new one, Sandisk but i still have this problem!
Is it a problem of my device for example the slot of the memory card?
Does anyone had my same problem?
Please Help Me!
Can someone help me please!!!

I have never installed the program to microSD... I always install to device. I am not sure how you can fix your problem. I am sure someone on the board will know what's going on.

Hi tetsuokaneda,
Your problem was broken link between shortcut file and executable file of your application!
You can use File Explorer to:
- Delete some died shortcut in "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/".
- Go to "/Storage card/Programs/Your Applications" and make a shortcut from executable file again
- Move a new shortcut to "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" folder
You can check by press Start/Programs, if it shows the right icon it is possible to active. If not, you have to soft reset you device. Event, you must Hard Reset!
Lucky!

maybe this ROM you are using doesnt support installing programs to microSD. try flashing to a different rom and formatting your micro sd and see if it happens again.

today form a strange reason all my files and folders on my sd card the file explorer was reading them as an .exe file so i couldnt open any file so my d*ck was full of it and i formated the sd card now it works but i lost all my games save's etc why did this happen?? and sory or bing rude but this pisedd me off
Why did this happen?
Because you formatted the card. I'm fairly sure you were warned that you would lose all your data...
But before you have a strong word with yourself you had almost certainly lost it all already because it sounds like the card's data area became corrupted.
or the file associations had become corrupted.
Next time, copy everything off to the pc first, and if you have a card reader, maybe get the pc to scan for errors. its sometimes recoverable.
or the file associations had become corrupted.

I don't agree. File associations is different. That determines which file extension is managed by which program. The OP says all his files showed as .exe's.
i was assuming he actually meant nothing would open and he was getting a 'this is not a valid aplication' type error or somesuch rather than the file extensions all actually reading '.exe', because the first scenario i have heard of, the second i haven't.
First time for everything, of course.

I'm not sure that CD would have helped... It sounds like, at best, the FAT, (File Allocation Table), was messed up. The system would have noticed that the backup FAT didn't match the primary and have given some warning. It seems like it didn't. That implies that both FAT's were bad. That's unrecoverable unless you are desperate. (For "desperate" read: rich).

The system doesn't check both FATs to see if one is fragged. You (the user) have to initiate that check by running CHKDSK /F.

yea, i was implying the OP should scan his PC, rather than worrying too much about the phone. I wasn't clear, sorry.
Not sure how to better ask than to state my intent. The added storage of internal nand (as /sdcard in most roms) isn't worth the trouble it creates with doing full migrations from one rom to the next so I'm thinking I want to edit scripts (init.d, fstab and what-not) so that the internal storage just isn't used and my sdcard is OR so that internal is mounted inside /sdcard as /int_temp or something like that.
What I want to know though is if anyone out there knows of a reason this would be inadvisable? In other words, is there anything I'm likely to break? Any reason I can't just shell in from recovery, set things up, and try it?
Also, to deal with apps that don't rely on the APIs correctly, I was thinking of mounting as both /sdcard and /sdcard2. Any reason that could cause trouble? Ideally I would also edit the rom so that properly written apps will always use SDcard over internal storage too.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
2012-03-06T20:08-0700: So far I've done no harm and by simply modifying /etc/vold.fstab to the following, I've swapped internal/external, but it's a complete swap so the rom now reports 29GB total phone storage and 10GB SD card storage. I'm guessing it's the ramdisk that contains the references that vold.fstab uses which define what's "phone" and what's "sdcard". I tried swapping single parts of vold.fstab entries and storage broke so it doesn't appear to be standalone in that sense (doesn't have the meta data to indicate what's phone and what's sdcard).
Code:
dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd 37 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2
I can work on it later this week. I think it can be done. I just need time to mess with it.
/sdcard/sd_ext
Thanks for the quick reply Con. Should it take much more than init.d and/or fstab changes? I have no doubt you're as/more busy with Android mods than I am with my other projects so I'd rather give this a go and hit you up with targeted questions than wait AND put it all on you. If you're cool with that, I'll give it a go right now while I'm between roms.

What about it? Depending on the rom, I've seen that as well as /sdcard2. I don't think that link needs to exist if I succeed with what I'm thinking.

Lol that exists already. Sdcard is really just emmc I think. It is needed for downloads and other system processes that would clog the sdcard. You can access the external card through sd_ext

Guess I wasn't clear enough. I know it's there, but /sdcard is internal storage (EMMC) and not sdcard which is what I'd prefer it to be. Also, /sdcard/sd_ext is irrelevant except that a ROM settings allows apps using the proper API to discover that the sdcard is mounted there (95% sure that's true anyway) and that's needed BECAUSE /sdcard isn't actually the sdcard. Pretty silly IMO.

If he did, he was mistaken. I do know of Twisted though I can't recall why at the moment. Also, adrynalyne most definitely knows of me (we've exchanged opinions on more than one occasion)
superchilpil, curious but does Tapatalk have an option to get rid of that sig it's adding to your posts? I've been thinking of adding support to my forums so I'm curious but the last time I tried to use it, it seemed like more trouble than just using a browser so I haven't explored it fully from the client-side.
See op-post for update.
Here is the file that I edited and use everytime I flash a new rom. It swaps SDcard and EMMC. What you have to do is copy the file in the RAR archive to the /etc folder and overwrite the one that is there. Just keep in mind that after you copy this file that the EMMC is not accessible with USB mount. I have not figured out how to do that exactly. Reboot after file overwrite.

The question ive asked many times before about this is: why does the internal ram have to be tied to the sdcard via ext_sd? Cant it be its own independent emmc folder or something?

Me too. the files are called tracker-"some letters and numbers that seem to be exactly the same for all of them"-"some numbers that seem random".tmp . It's wierd.
Also the first series seems to be the same as yours wallot.
I have this problem too. Now i see 5220 files. Nobody know what to do with this?
Do you have game called Kiwi Run installed by any chance? If you do, I believe that this game is writing those files anonymously to the sdcard. Delete those files, don't run the game and you'll have no more files. Try to run it and you'll see new files there again.

Yes I had but I uninstalled it and haven't got any again, and so you're probably right.
My phone is telling me I have a limit space so I go look at what is taking up space and it says just over 9 GBP of miscellaneous files, so when I look at it it shows one with 5.05 GBP of usage but it is labeled "0."
Any ideas to what this is or if I can delete this file wothout bricking my phone?
Any thoughts guys?

I am unable to understand what exactly you are trying to say!
could you please tell in detail?
I am trying to free space on my phone, and I need to know if that file under miscellaneous that is taking up 5GB can be deleted.
I am also wondering if I can delete CWM for now, as I don't plan on loading a new ROM, and if I do, I would would rather use TWRM

is it just one file or any folder of that name?
you may try to search the file by it's name using any file explorer.
It looks like it is the "0" directory, which is what Android uses for emulated SD card. "/storage/emulated/0"
If it is showing something different than what you actually have in your internal emulated SD card, you may have to do a factory reset.

I have found the file within the system, and it essentially put all of the old stuff from when I was running CM 10.1 into it and then put it into the emulated directory.
Just if you're not yet's solved you problem

Hello !

I've got that problem before
It happens when you swap SDs (i.e:extSdCard==>sdcard) & delete a file
so the free space still becoming smaller until it becoms 0
the solution is to RE.Swap the SDs
it may not work for you !
