Hello guys, i've a quick question about the external sdcard path, it used to be sdcard/external_sd in i9100 but now it has been changed to mnt/extSdCard due to which CWM somehow did a backup in the external sdcard successfully, but now when i try to restore from external sd card it gives an error and doesnt go through. any ideas? Is this going to be a problem of any kind at any point?
Strange. I have my nandroid backup on external sd and works flawlessly when I restore.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
try updating the cf root to latest version
Both the internal memory and external are now named SD cards.
The path of the internal is /mnt/sdcard and the external sd is mnt/extSdCard.
For you to flash something from CWM they need to be stored in the mnt/extSDcard and not the internal one.
When using file expert you can get to mnt/extsdcard by going into internal memory and then mnt and so on which is strange.
Hope it helps.
Sorry wrong post.

thanks i'll try it and let you know
Ok the Cwm problem has been solved as now i can backup and restore from the sd card (Thanks to Bala_gamer) but what about the apps, i cant move them to sd card because of the new path to external sd. apps2sd and gl to sd dont work, so i get to fill up my 16 gigs in 2 days of purchase whereas i have 58 gigs free on my micro sd card.. and this is an issue already being discussed on other forums and threads,, what will be the solution to it anyone?? i also read an article by chainfire that google is blocking the installation of the apps to external sd maybe, so this is worrying me
does anyone know how i can rename my sd card since it shows as mounted but no app can access it. i was using the same SD card in my droid razr.
it shows as extSdCard but all the apps that require an SD card give an error that SD card isn't present/mounted
im using the galaxy s3
thanks in advance

Why do you want to re-name the SD card?
Unmount and remount the SD card, perhaps? Or format via recovery, if rooted?
Is it SDXC or SDHC?
SDXC might cause problems sometimes - exFAT, FAT32 and all that jazz.

i want to rename since i dont know how to go about it otherwise. all apps say the card isnt present. as i remember it used to show up as sdcard-ext in all my previous phones
ive unmounted and remounted the card a couple of times but nothing. i havent formatted via recovery which i'll try tonight
its SDHC and yes im rooted and running AOKP build 40

Ok, here we go again..
Firstly "need help" is a ridiculous title to use. Topic titles are supposed to describe your topic briefly so that people browsing can see at a glance what topic is about. Majority of people will simply bypass/ignore your thread if you lave silly titles like this.
Second, you need to provide more info like what rom your using, have you checked the roms thread incase other people have had same issues?
The 2GB is a partition of your internal storage for your system. The rest os for your installed apps/appdata etc. Also, what do you mean by copying sddata to sdcard, and "not working". If you expect help you need to be more descriptive.

Hello
I have a friend with a S2 and while looking thru the space he has and were apps are installed I see that there are sort of 2 partitions and one of them is set as a SD card! (There is no SD card inserted)
How does this work? And why does it suppose that one of the partitions is the SD card? When I try to move apps to the SD card, I cant because I think Android thinks it needs to copy to /sdcard but obviously there is no SD card inserted.
Thank you
This thread has a lot of good info re: partitions.

hi guys
i currently own zenfone 2 4gb with 64gb of storage and got myself 32gb sd card.
the 64gb internal storage is almost full and i want my other game data files to be in the sd card but this seems to be not working?
the option "move to sdcard" is it just the apk that will be moved? because i tried to move a game then manually placed obb files in the sd card but the game will not detect the data in the sd card....
so how can i move the app and the data itself to the sd card that the app will detect it?
