Hey,
I just picked up a SGS3 today and is in the process of setting it up and restoring apps and what not. I have however hit a slight snag that I dont seem to be able to work around. Is there some way to get the SGS3 into USB Storage Mode, and thus being able to access both the internal and external SD of the phone as removeable storage in Windows?.
Several of my apps sadly saved stuff on the internal SD of the SGS2 and I need to put it on the internal of the SGS3 in order to be able to restore. Can anyone help me?.

I already have that installed. According to the description it ONLY makes external SD UMS, and not Internal which is what I want and need. I need both internal and external SD "mounted" as UMS.
You can only see internal in MTP mode but people are working on trying to link internal to external over UMS so you'll just have to wait until it's been done.
That sorta sucks to be honest, so I am stuck copying stuff to external SD and then moving it to the internal for the time being >.<
Yep and it looks like Samsung isn't gonna bring it back either even though they could if they want with no problems, so it all depends if Google make some changes in Jellybean to make it easier using ExFat.

Sorry but that sentence makes no sence. The only possibility is to create a virtual filesystem in RAM which maps it's I-Node locations to the corresponding files and/or location on the EXT4 filesystem.

You can swap internal with external storage and thus make it USB-mountable. However note that for data integrity it will need to be unmounted on the phone which can cause all sorts of unexpected behaviours.

If there's any serious problems that mean it can't be implemented then why do so many phones have this and App moving with no appreciable performance problems? The fact is Samsung could relatively easily include these things to make the phone work as well as it should but they simply for whatever reason decided against it, and even if they did include it and UMS transfer speeds weren't as good as they could be at least the feature would have been there and the reality is that's really what matters.

I'm trying to grasp how the storage system works on my GS2. I have the latest AOKP ROM installed and I'm slightly puzzled as to how apps are placed when I install them.
In ROM settings I have a checkbox "Use Expanded Internal Storage/Use SDcard for apps/media". It seems that I have internal storage, expanded internal storage, and an SDcard, and that in this box expanded internal storage means internal storage, and SDcard means expanded internal storage? I guess this must be the case because there seems to be no way to make the OS actually use the SDcard for anything.
Under "apps" I can choose to move apps to SDcard/phone, and here I assume SDcard also means expanded internal storage. However even though I move apps to phone, most of them still seem to keep their data on the EIS. Is this always going to be the case? I have a huge 2gb partition I'll probably never fill because apps won't store their data there.
It seems like a real mess tbh. I would gladly do away with this EIS partition and just have phone/sd so everything would work right, what's the point of splitting it?
This rant started when I tried to find out how to move Google music's offline music to my sdcard and found that I couldn't without a 3rd party program with a background service, and then discovered that even if I map a folder from my sdcard to where Google music saves its data, it still checks the EIS's space to determine how much can be saved. >.>
Welp, I'm not sure if it was there before but there's a post in the AOKP thread about the checkbox/toggle, stating that it swaps emmc and sdcard mounts. That's one mystery solved.
Still frustrating though, not a very elegant system.

The cm9 developers changed it to make it fit the standard of Android the way they should have from the beginning. Unfortunately it stores its caches and stuff on the external SD and I don't want that so I use the old way. Otherwise it doesn't matter to me

Still no way to mount internal memory when pluging usb to a pc?
No there never will be a real method.
It's possible to do it but your computer won't understand it at all since EXT4 filesystems are only recognized by Linux-based OS.
I'm working on a possible solution but it's cumbersome and difficult so I don't know when to expect a first working alpha.
Why the hell did they remove the access? Windows can see ext4 with some app.

No, and there won't be. It's not just that it's EXT4, it's because everything that is stored on the phone is in one large block of memory, no partitions. Hence why you have shared memory between apps, and your personal data etc.
EDIT: Besides, why the hell is everyone crying about it anyway.

For me, it's for two reasons:
The first (and most annoying) is that i use a bunch of devices that only accept input from a flash drive (such as my car stereo), so instead of just useing my phone in mass storage mode, now i have to use an aux cable, and the sound quality, accessibility, and not to mention safety, is compromised because of that.
Another reason is that for me, MTP is inferior to mass storage in both accessing and transferring multiple files to and from my phone.
I don't really know if it has any redeeming features, if it does, then i guess I'm in the minority that doesn't use them.

It's designed to work across any devices with optimal usage. E.g. if you put a movie on the phone it will convert it to the phone's screen resolution and codec format.
However I don't see that as a feature since video conversion is realtime at best, meaning you'll have to wait 2 hours to transfer that movie to your phone...
and the sound quality, accessibility, and not to mention safety

Well... it's forbidden to manipulate the phone in most countries when driving and not using a car-kit. So I don't see a safety issue, only a conveniance issue since you are not allowed that one track that annoys you.
Sound quality isn't that bad with the plug.
Just put all your media on your external SD card and use the app I described, that works flawlessly with car audio.

True, however Windows-based computers can only READ the filesystem. No port I'd know of exists for Mac OS so they would be locked out anyway. Your car radio can only read FAT32 anyway.
Is there a way I can recover my deleted files on my Xperia SOLA mnt/sdcard/DCIM ? I am planning to use Recuva on my Windows PC but it can't read my phone because it is a part of internal memory and won't show as a disk. Are my deleted photos gone forever?
I asked in paranoid android thread about that recently and people told me it's totally possible to mount it, just like sd card...

1. You're in the wrong forum for the Xperia
2. Why are you piggybacking on an old thread instead of creating a new one for your issue? They have nothing in common.
Yes, you should be able to mount it (unless it uses a non-FAT32 filesystem) However since we don't have the Xperia (hint: this is Samsung, not Sony) the exact command is unknown to me.
So, what are the best options to access all the internal storage files from my computer (in linux or windows, it does not matter)?
Also, if I need to send my phone to repair, how do I back up the whole storage? AFAIK CWM does not backup the internal sd card, right?
how the heck can i move my apps to my sd card?? i run the app App 2 SD and all it does is move my apps from phone storage (internal) to the phones (''sd card'') i cant move google chrome, google+, facebook, adobe...all fairly large apps. when i look at apps under settings > apps, the only options i have is to move it to phone storage or internal storage. im pretty lost

know i don't know if this will work with apps but it work for photos, i opened the phone's card and long pressed on the ones i wanted to move and selected the option-move to, and transfered photos from phone card to sdcard. i did this with es file explorer. from the phones card not the internal storage or memory wharever it's called
Tried using es file explorer and my sd card didn't even show up. This is what it looks like in disk usage
The storage card is the phones hard drive I think (it's 8 gbs right? And we can't use all 8?)
The /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd is my 32 gig sd card. But when I move my apps it goes to internal storage

We established this in another thread about a month ago. With the introduction of Android 4.0, Google decided to change the way mounts work in Android. Google, assuming that microSD card would be phased out in the introduction of larger capacity internal storage phones without microSD slots, decided to make the internal eMMC storage be named 'sdcard', since most apps already used the 'sdcard' location for saving data, and name a real SD card 'sdcard2', also reachable by a folder in 'sdcard' name 'sd_ext'.
The largest phone out there right now that I know of has 64GB total of internal storage, while phones like ours only have 8GB total, with about half being taken up by the system, necessitating the usage of a real SD card for storage. The /data partition on our phone only has about 1GB available, and a dozen medium-sized apps and their data will use that up quickly. In short, there's no way to install apps to the real SD card since ICS, and once your eMMC 'sdcard' fills up, you're out of luck. A large oversight, in my opinion, by Google and HTC.
If our phone had 16GB of internal storage, we might not have that problem nearly as quickly, but games like DEAD Trigger, which is nearly 200MB, will quickly fill up our phone.
Basically, pick and choose the apps you want carefully, and keep the eMMC 'sdcard' partition as empty as possible, aside from your larger apps.

When you move an app to 'Phone storage', it saves in the eMMC internal storage '/sdcard/.android_secure/' folder as a '.asec' file. In my testing, if you move it to actual SD card, that is '/sdcard2/.android_secure/', it won't recognize it. It displays 'Application not installed' when clicking on the app to run it. The Android system saves the pointer to the apk, whether it's saved in '/data/app' or '/sdcard/.android_secure/', and that's the only place it will look for it. You can't move it to the real SD card unless someone else has found a workaround, and I haven't heard of it if the have. I'll find the link to our previous discussion and post it.

I think you can use a program called SGS3 Easy UMS or something like that - but it will only work for SD and when UMS mode is active the phone can not access the SD. Also there is a 'trick' where you sometimes need to stop the media scanner for the program to get exclusive access.

Yes, because the same card is used for the OS, and "internal SD" as we know it is just a folder on it. So it cannot be mounted in UMS because that would mean unmounting the OS

Let's forget for a moment about the internal storage. Let's focus on the uSD.
My recovery (CWM 6.0.2.7 + PhilZ Touch 3) can let me see the uSD as USB mass storage.
What would it be the difficulty to do the same under all these ROMs?
How can a user space application (SGS3 Easy UMS) circumvent an underlying system limitation?
I would like just to understand, not to criticize, of course!
I don't know why the external SD cannot be mounted as UMS right out of the box. Probably because they didn't want to use different standarts at the same time - MTP for internal, UMS for external

That's among the most puzzling questions for this otherwise wonderful smartphone. NOne seems to know what's the technical difficulty.

"They" who? The base OS is either by Samsung or by some Android community (like CyanogenMod) that seems to be unrelated to the Easy UMS author.
It looks like this feature has been just left behind ... Even CM v10.1 has it for all phone I've used so far. All but SGS3!

Hmmm ... do you mean that with "dual storage" device Google code is not contemplating the possibility to provide access to the uSD as a USB mass storage, while doing it with single storage devices?
My old Sensation XE running CM 10.1 was working fine with no need of any extra software ...
This seems to be not less than weird!
I'm saying that they didn't want to have two different standards at the same time - MTP and UMS, as that could be confusing for some users, so they left it for the devs. That's just pure speculation.
They started doing that pretty recently, hence your Sensation has UMS built-in.

It looks like this is something they do only with dual storage devices. CM v10.1-nightly on the Sensation works fine.
Honestly, I don't like it. The userland app delivers lower transfer speeds.
And, most important, it doesn't work any more with my car stereo as it used to do with a single storage device.
I personally think this is a great mistake done by Google or whoever else.
AFAIK, Sensation doesn't have this new method of storage allocation, that's why it has UMS.
I've found this (I have no windows at home).
It sheds more light on this topic.
Maybe I'm badly wrong, but my idea is that devs just went completely bulls*it with UMS. My not-so-humble opinion.
USB mass storage protocol was a block-level protocol. What this meant was that a partition could not be mounted on two different systems at the same time. Each partition that needs to be mounted on a computer must be unmounted from the phone first. This would be impossible on a phone with only a single partition, since if the system partition was unmounted, the phone would crash.
To work around this issue, Android phones up until now either had two partitions in the internal memory (like the Nexus S) or had a microSD slot (like the Samsung Galaxy S II). Phones with micro-SD slots would just export the microSD card partitions to the connected computer.
But the Galaxy Nexus only has a single internal partition.

Yes, it says "phones up until now", which is what I said. This doesn't include SGS3
If I understood well, Easy UMS simply makes some changes to the default system configuration in order to restore the "standard" USB mass storage profile for the uSD alone.
If this is the case (please provide any feedback, pleeease) I'd push AOSP for restoring it by default.
I've found a nice "mtpfs" package that would allow me to (kind of) mount the storage. But this is a workaround.

It is very simple to understand - your recovery knows it will never WRITE to uSD at the same time as the UMS program (which exposes the PHYSICAL card as a block device). In a normal ROM that assumption would be fatal and you would soon have fatal results, so instead MTP/PTP was chosen - which exposes the FILE SYSTEM instead of the BLOCK DEVICE.
So somehow Easy UMS circumvents those restrictions ...
In other cases you got the warning that some applications could possibly not work properly because of multiple concurrent accesses.
But now the situation is much more clear, indeed.
Please tell me there is some sort of flashable zip to get rid of MTP/PTP.
If I can't get standard USB mode on this S3 I'm getting rid of it, MTP is like the worst way of connected to a PC in my opinion.
All the downsides are not worth not having to mount / disconect the drive.
*Note : I use my phone for my work, MTP makes doing any one job over twice as long as I have to transfer the file to my pc in order to edit it, then I need to send it back.
With USB disk I just edit the file/photo/video directly on the devices drive, huzzah so much time saved!)
I tried SG3 easy UMS but it doesn't disable MTP with the rom I am using.
ive been lookng for ways to get UMS too. Easy UMS is giving me problems. Sometimes it just doesnt work and no drives MTP nor UMS drives show on my PC.
Im on Omega rom with Perseus kernel.
The storage mode has been removed all together as android no longer really supports it. Even Google has done away with it.

Has been said 1234578 times. No way for internal sdcard, easyUms for external.
That's it. I agree mtp sucks, not working on my Windows 7 computer. Easy ums works well here.
This is where USB OTG comes in handy
Thank you for the replies everyone.
Looks like I'm downgrading to my sensation then :laugh:
Shall send some dissapointed emails to Google/HTC/Samsung etc though as if they're really trying to make mtp standard that's just silly. (Hell it's bloody useless even for media transfer, I put HD movies on my phone and don't bother optimising them for the phone so they're often rather large files. maximum average transfer I see with MTP is 5MB/s if I use USB disk on my sensation with same SD card I get 15+MB/s)
Shame though as some roms for my note n7000 disable MTP so was hoping the same could be done for the s3 :[
Not a big fan of the emulated SD card as well, just makes finding files in recovery a pain in the arse :laugh:
If this is the way Android is heading looks like I need to find another smart phone OS D:
One thing that could help me keep the s3 is if I could automate easy UMS so when I connect the phone I get a prompt asking me if I want to mount my sd card. ( if that is already a feature, it doesn't work with slim rom) Don't really care for what ever is on the emulated sd card anyway so don't care if that connects with MTP.
( Please don't suggest I just plug the card into a card reader, I use a alluminium bumper case that bolts on so quick swapping is not possible)

It may have been an option if Samsung had released the proper documentation on this chip like they promised at first but then changed their mind.

i feel the same way about MTP but it's not that BIG a deal. Easy UMS is a good alternative. i had a Sensation as well and you couldn't even access the internal memory, you could only access the memory stick via flash drive. atleast you can access both internal and external sd card using MTP. just put the files on your ext sdcard and use Easy UMS for quick editing of the files. from there you can move the file to your int sdcard using some type of file manager.
