Hello,
I am very to flashing of ROM's on my Galaxy S3 so im still learning about things (so pretty much im a rookie)
As in the subject line, i have the latest UltimaROM v5.0.2 installed on S3 and its working perfectly and its rock stable. Really happy with it.
However I do have a quick question regarding extSDcard.
The phone somehow reads my extSDcard as an internalSD card and vice versa for the internalSD card.
In the camera when i have extSDcard (which is internal SD card) chose as the storage, the camera app FC.
While installing the ROM i did select the HyperMOD for the camera and i didn't select the option of Internal2External SD Script option.
Can anyone explain why this is happening and also how maybe i can i have the storage the normal way perhaps?
Thanks guys.

I don't know what this rom is based on but if it's Samsung based you can try to take the vold.conf and vold.fstab file from a stock rom and put it with root explorer in folder etc.

Try selecting the internal SD card instead

Thanks guys.
I just reflashed the ROM again since i wanted to try different mods and this time around i made sure i didn't chose the interna2external sd card option.

thanks for all your help.

Hello everyone, new to these forums, but have been reading here for a few years now
I have a couple of questions regarding JB 4.1.1 and Galaxy S3 i-9300
First of all, I can't seem to make my external SD card work with anything else but Recovery/Root Explorer.
Gallery doesn't show it, VLC doesn't show it, and I can't find any settings that will allow me to save pictures taken by the cam onto extSD, nor videos.I have tried both AOSP and PA 4.1.1, same issue.
Second, when I flashed AOSP/PA 4.1.1, whenever I go into Gallery, and choose Settings, I just get a blank screen, no options, no nothing.
Am I just stupid, or have I formatted the card wrong?
best regards, Tim :laugh:
Is is FAT32 ?
Are there any partitions (other than the primary) in the SD card? (or, have you repartitioned the sd card) ?
Thanks for the reply. I booted into CWM and formatted the card from there. It still doesn't show up. Will try to reflash JB again.

I am in the same situation. It started when clockworkmod couldn't read some of the files in the download folders (mods i intended to apply) which were visible in es file explorer. After a few tries, sdcard (a trascend 64gb uhs-1 which i indeed recommended a few hours ago in another thread!!!) looks dead both in android AND pc. Had to format to access it. Currently letting diskdigger do his job, then for more invasive action (still yet to figure).

The issue you are facing is what made me flash from AOKP to PA/AOSP in hope of improvement.
While I was running AOKP, I connected my Galaxy to my PC via USB, and in the external SD card, I found multiple copies of the same folder.
For example, I made a folder called PICS inside my SD card when I got it a couple of weeks back and everything was running smoothly. Then just a couple of days ago, I wanted to copy some of my pics, and now I had 5 folders called PICS on my SD, and none of them contained actual pictures, the files had no extensions whatsoever, just blank fileicons.
I'm considering moving back to a stock Sammy ROM, these external SD card issues are getting really frustrating.

i've got the same problem..i read somewhere it was to do with CWM recovery being used? i havent had time to investigate and cant mess with my phone as i'm going away tomorrow....i hope someone points out the solution as this has plagued me since day 1 with jelly bean..
So, formatting the card on pc as NTFS/standard allocation/FULL format (took about one hour and a half) worked for me. Cwm reads it and i made a couple of format to be sure. Weird thing is in settings/memory the ext-sdcard capacity/free space is correct, but there is no visual bar (it is there for internal sd). I'm pretty sure at this point the problem was probably caused by some action i took with mobileodin using files from the sdcard.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT- I9300 (UK - Virgin) 16GB
32GB Sd card installed
Omega v38 Rom with Alexander theme
Siyah 1.8.9 Kernal
ExtS2IntrnSd 5
So my problem is, i cannot save any photos or videos to my phone when taking them. I either get a message saying ' Please mount USB storage before using the camera' or 'Not enough space, delete items,photos etc....'
Now, when i 1st installe the custom rom, i obviously installed Omega v38 then the theme. Rebooted my phone then installed the extSd2intSd mod. Booted up and seemd ok, 30GB device memory and 11Gb Sd card
At the moment i have 29GB available on phone and 10GB on SD card so im confused when it says i need to make room or i need to mount the card.
When i installed it all i copied all files from 'original' memory to the new 32Gb storage. Did i do that right?
Anyone know what i have done to not be able to save any photos? Everything is perfect. love the rom, speed and look is ideal its just the camera
Hello all, i have a small (big) problem with my camera on my phone (S2 obviously) but what happens is when i go to use the camera it says "your SD card is running out of space. Change quality setting or delete some images or other files." but it is storing on the SD card (obviously) which has about 15GB left and has never had any problems, and i don't think it is the rom as it does it with all of the JB roms i have tried. i have no idea why it is doing this but if anyone does could you please help. Many thanks in advanced. Yours MBrown

Is it trying to store it on the internal SD card? I think your ROM might be bad, what ROM are you using?
There is not enough infomation in there.

I've been using cyanogenmod ROM on my tab 2 p3100 that has been acting weird; maps force closing, black screens constantly, apps freezing for extended periods of time, and I want to start fresh. I'm going on a road trip for the holidays and would really like to use maps as they were intended.
I wiped all my personal data but there are still some pictures showing up in gallery and some app folders that didn't get deleted. My understanding is that this is all on the internal SD card. Is the ROM itself (AOKP 4.1.2) on the internal SD card also? If I were to go into CWM and format the internal SD would I lose everything and would the phone be unable to boot or would I be able to simply re-flash the ROM? if i were to put the new ROM on an external SD card would i be able to go back into CWM and flash it from there?
If I'm missing something feel free to correct me or point me in the right direction (a guide would be ideal). I've searched on various sights and can't find exactly what I'm looking for, everything seems a little vague.

i was wondered this a long time ago also bare with me as i try my best to explain what i know. so since tabs normally come with a lot of internal space and from what my knowledge is it makes the internal the default storage. for every file manager i use it defaults to the internal if you pop a micro sdcard into it the internal will still be the default apps will install on the internal only first (unless you use apps2sd or your internal has run out of storage) as for where the rom is at. yes it is inside the sdcard thats why when we buy the 16gig and we only end up with 14g its for the rom and other necessity's the tab needs to live. i dont know how you would format the internal sd card but im sure you would lose your rom if you do it. its very confusing i lost my stock backup (got the tab 2 also) because i thought the backup went to the external but it when to the internal and i wipped data and flashed a new rom. not sure if i answered your questions or answered any of them at all.
Also please remove this from your signature "hit thanks, instead of saying thanks" you shun yourself saying that we are here to help people not feel cool because we have alot of likes :/
Hello,
I am new to this thread and to rooting. I have a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S5, rooted, lollipop 5.0, with cyanogenmod 12. This Cyanogenmod does not recongize my external sd card at all. i have been googling this and trying different things but nothing has worked so far.
1) My primary concern is to enable my external sd card
if 1 is not possible, i can settle for 2
2) make my external sd card as my "internal sd storage"
The internal 12GB storage is just simply not enough.
If anyone is able to help me, i would GREATLY appreciate it.
If a moderator can move this to the proper area please do
Thank you everyone!
why not try the latest nighlty + latest opengapps? both are very stable..
