cannot select "USB Mass Storage" with CM9 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone !
i have using a Samsung Galaxy S3 for one month now... and Cyanogenmod 9 for 2 weeks already.
I know about it since i have already been using Cyanogenmod for a year and a hlf on my previous phone.
My problem is very simple :
when i connect my phone to the computer, i have a screen asking me to choose a conexion type :
- MTP
- PTP
- UMS
the problem is that the last one (USB Mass Storage) is greyed out and i cannot choose it !!??
i have been searching xda forums without success about it...
My microSD is formatted in FAT32 (exFAT does not work with cyanogen)
My question now :
can anybody tell me if it works for him ? (galaxy s3 + CM9RC2 or nightly + FAT32 microSD + windows + UMS)
thanks a lot !
and thanks for the amazing work done by cyanogen team...

no answer ??
come on guys !
- samsung Galaxy s3 => best phone ever
- cyanogenmod => best rom
so i am shure we are a lot using this config !
still : have a nice day !

i think samsung may have done the most stupid mistake and remove kernel support, its not on stock firmware either

Try the SGS3 Easy UMS. Search XDA.

thanks for your answers, but :
- easy UMS is meant for stock roms and derivates... which is not the case regarding CM.
so if anybody using SGS3 + CM9 could check on his phone, please confirm me !
here is what it should look like :

but for me, third option is greyed... so i cannot select it...

No USB Mass-Storage is part of ICS, not Samsung phones.

It doesn't work for me either, maybe it's not supported yet?
I am running CM9 too and UMS works every now and then. ES File explorer seems to continuously scan the extsd though so sometimes it takes a couple of tries until it's mounted

well... in fact, according to what i've read, ICS does include UMS... but only for external SD cards...
Anyway, the fact that the option is visible in the usb share screen in cyanogen makes me think that it is/will be a part of CM.
therefore the question is :
- do my phone has a problem ?
- or is it a future option that CM team is currently developping ? (and yet not finished ?)
But Samusung definitely did not want us to get it...
PS : i just installed the latest nightly build of CM9 (android 4.0.4) on a galaxy S2 and i get UMS ! (through an 'android 2.3 style' usb share screen)

At least in CM10 Preview the kernel modules are present but it does not react to the commands.

It works just fine on my Galaxy SII (i777) running cm9. And it mounts both the internal and external SD cards in mass storage mode. However, I have a galaxy tab 10.1 that the option is also grayed out on. I am guessing each device has different drivers associated with UMS which may be why it isn't working on all devices yet. But, it definitely is not a problem in CM9... More the device it sits on.

[4] I won't add MAD Team app2sd support until this rom is stable (i.e., the microphone, reboot and battery usage bugs are fixed). This should only be used for testing, not for regular use, so I don't want to encourage people to use it so heavily. You can still use Cyanogen's built-in app2sd (the "Move to SD" button) - it's more advanced than Froyo's.

If you have acess to Linux (maybe Live CD) the best way would be to use GParted and partition your SD Card from a card reader (it wont work directly from phone). If you can only use Windows you should try Minitool.

SD Card Reader with stock 4.0.4

Installed the OTA stock ROM ICS 4.0.4 but unfortunately the optional SD card reader for the port won't be recognized anymore. Is there any possibility to reactivate separately or is this going alongside with each stock upgrade ?

Someone already asked rs125 for the possibility of porting touchwized ics from 7500 like the one you and I have right now. I went back to isi's 3.2 when I saw asphalt 7 was totally unplayable with stock 4.0.4 nor any cm9/10. With Isi's 3.2 works near perfect, altough it drains battery faster than 4.0.4.
Same problem...
Not solution at this time ?

It's working just fine. You just need an app to mount the SD card. I use the one from Chainfire called StickMount, it mounts it in a folder in /sdcard partition. It also has an option to auto-mount every time you plug in the device, it runs a notification while the device is connected and when you click the notification it unmounts the device.

[Q] On AoCP 7.0 KitKat - Missing Google Play Music setting - External SD Storage

Hey guys. I don't have enough rep to post on the development forums, so help if you're able!
I'm on AoCP 7.0 KitKat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132220)
I don't see the new Google Play Music settings for External SD Storage. Within the 'Download' section of settings, I've read that KitKat versions of the app should allow you to set storage to be on the external SD. I don't see the option.
I'd rather not look for the work around (which I know exists) if I can just figure out what the problem is.
Any suggestions?
Just checked this as well on my Captivate running AoCP 7.0 and the option is not there either.
Buy on my at&t sgs3 running Stock Android 4.1.2 with Root, the option is there for either external or internal storage location.
So it appears that the Captivate and i777 are not on the list of "(Experimental support on some older devices)"...as stated in the apps change log.

I read the Google change log as 'This update is available for all KitKat devices, as well as some JB&ICS devices, which are considered experimental.
Has anyone had other KitKat roms on their i777 that allows them to use this 'external sd card storage' feature in Google Music? It's an incredibly intriguing feature to me.

I'll just have to assume that. Luckily, there is a work-around. I'll try that. Thanks guys. :good::good:

[Q] insufficient storage capacity ?

Since a few days my phone says it has ''insufficient storage capacity'' I searched the internal memory but it says I have approximately 8GB free... I heard that more Samsung phones got this problem, because the (real) internal memory is way lesser than it says.
So my question now, what to do ? I dont have Titanium Backup installed so I cant do that trick. Phone is rooted and CM11 installed.
Phone info:
- Samsung Galaxy SIII International
- KitKat 4.4.2
- CyanogenMod 11 ( Snapshot M3 )

Try rebooting to see if it refreshes the stats. If not go to recovery and clear cache. If others do not have a suggestion, u might have to wipe data. Also, may I ask wat was ur previous rom before cm11? Wat is the android version?

Official builds are made by CM Team.

Internal Memory
Sorry, didnt notice the FAQ section.
So yea, i have 1gb+ internal memory out of 5gb+
And yes, wiping data does not remove any personal stuff.
The thing is, its empty and yet shows this much space.

Since you are talking about a total of 5gb I guess you are talking about what is classed as the emulated internal SD card. Like mentioned above, when wiping before flashing the ROM this partition is not affected at all as the ROM is installed in root and not the emulated storage. So any files you had there prior to flashing the new ROM will still be there.
If you deleted everything on the 5gb partition from a PC, then there is the possibility that if these were placed in the recycle bin and therefore not actually remove but kept for possible recovery (taking up storage space). I don't know if that is the problem in your case but since it has happened to me once in the past I wanted to share my thoughts.

What is using the storage space. Like in these pictures the phone shows what is using the space.

Hey Maniakk you mentioned that after changing from interactive your battery got drained, did you managed to charge your phone? mine did the same and it looks like its dead wont turn on.
ok managed to fix it had to short out the legs with a screwdriver, before that i charged it for like 45mins and nothing happened battery was cold as ice.
Did anyone face this bug,
1) Call someone
2) Press the dialer to send dial tones over to the receiver
The dialer will not come out fully. Only has the 1 2 3 buttons visible.
Sometimes pressing back and dialer, may not work.
Side note: To fix the problem with the dialer not appearing when you want to make a call...
Problem: Press phone icon, press the dialer button. You will NOT see the dialer
Solution: Press back button and dialer again and you will see the dialer
'Permanent solution': Ensure your animator duration scale is at least 0.5 under development settings.
In a way, when you mentioned emulated.
I checked under clockworkmod folder and saw my previous backup more than 4gb lol.
Now I've gained the missing space.
Thanks and keep up the amazing work.
I've used the ROM for 1 whole day now and cant find any problem. Just that I'm using dalvik instead or art, since I can't install a few apps with art.
