It should be in Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Application; check "Use internal storage," then reboot.

Hi everyone,
I'm running CM7 Atrix CM Ba2tF non nightly build. I migrated over from gingerbread 2.3.6 and I'm unable to read my micro sd card when connected to the usb.
I've searched and followed the instructions telling me to go in to cm7 application settings and choose 'use internal storage' but this doesn't resolve the issue at all.
I don't want to have to switch back to gingerbread but I've been searching and found no solution that works. Please advise.

Hello.
You need to scroll down your notification bar, select the USB notification and select "Memory card access", by default it's set to charge only and many people over look that.
What you did with the option to use internal storage is unrelated to this, It simply changes the mount points for the internal and external SD cards.
Thanks for the response. I had forgot to mention that I've done that as well, the only drive that shows up as readable/writable is the internal flash of the phone, still making the external sd unreadable *shrug*

Can you access it from the phone it self? (Just making sure)
Have you partitioned the card via the recovery? Apps2sd or data2sd stuff, basicly is the file system on the card vfat or ext?
Can you access the card using a memory card reader?
Would you consider formatting the card (using the option in settings > storage) ?

Did you reboot the phone after selecting "Use Internal Storage"

I can access the card and its contents through file explorer. I did not partition the card through recovery, I had originally formatted it as fat32. I temporarily re-loaded the bell gingerbread recovery and the sd read just fine again.
I could reformat the card again, I'll just back up it's contents using my sd card reader.

If the format doesn't work then it could have been a bad flash. Backup everything like you were planning to and download the rom from the internet again just to be sure and re-flash.

Hey there, i needed my sd card for another phone, temporarly, so i removed it, used it, and inserted it into the sgs2 again.
Now, the apps that were on the sd does not work anymore. What can i do to make them work again, dont really want to loose the data.. "/
Thanks..
Well if they're on the SD card then you better put it back in, as that's unfortunately where the data now is.

He clearly states
"so i removed it, used it, and inserted it into the sgs2 again"
Anyway, an obvious question would be, did you remove any data / files / folders from your SD card??
Anyway. Have you checked to see if your SD Card is Mounted?
System Settings --> Storage --> Scroll down to SD Card and click on Mount Storage!
Restart your phone (in any case) and wait a few minutes for everything to load back up.

Flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235446
I am getting this error of No external storage available on all the apps that require internal storage e.g. In Gallery, it says no external storage available, same in camera, explorer e.t.c
Have I done something wrong?
Do you have an sd card?
I do have an sd card, currently, the player only works with the sd card.
somehow the sd card is being treated as the internal sd card? this is completely weird. As soon as I take out the sd card, it fails to recognize the internal card.

1 can you go setting--- memory-- check what is available and send the scren shoot.
2 when you wipe in recovery no any strange message at the screen? like can't read or open mmcblk0p 15....
I got this same kind of problem but i dont have and external Sd, but i want to save the pictures on the phone it self is there a way to change this? Because when i open the camera ap it says, no external memory.
I had the same issue
I had the same issue.
Go into recovery mode and try to mount emmc. That's what my external SD was renamed.
It was fine when I loaded the ROM but it flaked out after I loaded a different kernel.
I would recommend using X-plore from the Play Store to navigate your files. It's the best way to explore, move etc.
Try format SD-card:
Go to CWM -> mounts and storage -> format sdcard
Hello,
I am trying to remount my SD Card, so I could fix the "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" error on the playstore.
But the problem is that when I try to unmount it on Settings > Storage, options are greyed out and I cannot press it.
So if I scroll down on the storage settings and I go to the SD CARD section, it shows the Total Space which is 1.84GB, and available space, which is also 1.84GB. Doesn't that mean my SD is in fact working correctly? The only option I see is Mount SD Card. But that option is grayed out and I can't press on it.
I have tried formatting the SD card from my computer to FAT32. Still same problem.
I can also put movies, music etc onto the SD Card, and yes they work.
Now i'm just confused on why I can't remount my SD Card.
Any ideas?
thanks

By default Samsung disabled the option to allow a user to use a microSD card as internal storage. This is very bad especially on devices that come with only 16 GB of internal storage.
Not happy? You can understand the gravity of the situation and complain to Samsung about this
:crying: HERE
Adoptable storage is a standard feature in Android Marshmallow but gets disabled by most manufacturers in their attempt of forcing users to throw more money on devices with more internal storage.
What are the changes with Adoptable Storage?
the SD card gets encrypted and encryption key is stored in internal device memory
the encryption makes the SD card read/write operation slower than otherwise
disables the normal use of SD card by swapping it in other devices (unless you select a percent of SD card to be kept as a removable partition)
can slow down the loading time of some apps, including installing them
some confusion is created in the device's total available memory reporting and memory usage reporting
In order to enable Adoptable storage you need to have custom recovery installed on your device. This will blow the e-fuse in the device, trip Knox, and you will loose warranty for the device.
Put the ZIP attached below on your SD card and flash it. This is an Add-on will make some changes to Android OS core to enable Adoptable Storage option, the one on which Samsung putted it's will to remove it.
The device will restart (if not you can restart it manually). Now you should remove the SD card, and delete the partitions from it on your PC (using an SD card reader or something) with the help of your favorite partitioning software.
This is to force the phone to ask you next time you insert the SD card, how to use it. Otherwise the option Use as internal storage may not appear.
In the new 2017 A series there is this new universal app for managing battery usage, disk usage, RAM usage and security.
Eventually you can find the option to migrate data to the SD card - this can take a while.
Basically it moves all the non-system applications from original internal storage to the new internal storage on the SD card. All new application that you will install will be placed entirely on this new internal storage.
Use another app like Storage Space from Google Play Store to see the real available memory, the universal Samsung manager is not designed to understand Adoptable storage as Samsung intended not to.
That's it. I tested this on A3 2017 (SM-A320FL) with Exynos CPU and ClockWork Mode custom recovery.
Download CWM Recovery for A3 2017 form this post. It should work on all A 2017 series on devices with Exynos CPU.
You can do this (flash a ZIP) using any working custom recovery compatible with your device (CWM, TWPR).
The applicability of this method may be limited to android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
From my experience on the Galaxy A3 2017 it seems that the new internal storage is equal in size to that of the SD card, so the new internal storage it is not adding to the ~9 GB of original internal storage left free - as I expect it.
The New Storage manager app is different from the usual access menu of standard Samsung settings. The menu we are looking for is hidden before the Format as portable storage option and there is no back button.
To make menu appear put the SD card into a computer and delete all the partitions on it.
1. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard on Windows or any other tool that let's you delete the partitions on the SD card
2. Place the SD card back in to the device
3. Go to the Storage Manager and select Storage options form top right
Now you should see the "corrupt" message under SD card. This is what we want.
To make the phone see the SD card as corrupt.
4. Now tap on that and hit Configure on the popup where it says ...in order to use it it has to be configured.
5. Done. Now you will see 2 options:
-Use as portable storage
-Use as internal storage
You can trigger the same menu by reformatting the SD card into the phone but before it finishes formatting tap quickly on the back button. This will actually interrupt the format, corrupt the SD card and then a notification will appear (A new SD card was detected):
Swipe down the notifications pane
There will be a cog icon and Configure. Tap on it to proceed
There it will open the menu with both options:
-Use as portable storage
-Use as internal storage
Please feel free to post your feedback and experiences regarding this below.

Will it cause an error if I remove the SD card? Because the SD card will be seen as internal storage.

Yes. Some applications may not work normally or at all. However the phone will constantly notify you that the card is missing and to reinsert it.
Optionally you can choose to cancel that prompt but then you'll permanently lose the association with the SD card and you have to re-format it to use it.
not working for me I flashed the zip file, everything seems allright but even after formating the sd card, I don't have the option

You need a faster SD card (type UHS-I U3 or UHS-II U3 for faster access speeds).
As for reverting to portable storage just pop out the card then select "cancel association" from the phone.
Next time you insert the SD card it will say it is not recognizable and you can format it again either as portable storage or as internal storage

When I try to flash it with cwm. I get:
"E:Footer is wrong"
"E:Signature verification failed".

Thank you! It worked perfectly and in the first attempt. I did not even have to use a computer to format the SD card, or interrupt the process on the phone. I formatted it using the phone’s default formatting option and, once it was completed successfully, it asked me whether I wanted to use the SD card as internal storage. Smooth as can be. The only issue I can see is that it’s showing the total available storage as 64 GB, which means that the phone’s 16 GB is not being counted. I don’t really care enough about it to troubleshoot it. I am not using up 64 GB anytime soon.

You need to use TWRP to install not stock recovery.
