I clean installed Flashback 10.3 (kudos to the developer!) on my GTab, and it works great. I do have a question...
When I plug in the USB cable from my PC (and turn on USB storage, of course), in Windows Explorer (Directory Opus actually) I can "see" the SD Card as drive G, but I can't see the root drive (Internal Memory). I do get a "Removable Disk H" that displays, which I suspect is internal memory, but it says there is no disk in drive H, and the properties say everything is 0 bytes.
I downloaded "APK Batch Installer" to allow me to back up my GTab apps to my PC, but it can't "see" the internal memory to get to the apps, either.
I have ES File Explorer on the GTab, and I can see the internal memory there; and from there I can "back up" the apps to the SD card - and then, of course, I can see them on the PC and back them up to the PC.
So I guess the question is, how can I see the internal memory (not the SD Card) from my PC? Is that possible? If not, fine, but if so, I'd love to know how.
Thanks, Cecil

There are 2 reasons for what you describe, above.
The first reason--the 2 drives showing up--is, I suspect, the same bug that afflicts the other HC ROM for the gTab, GtabComb(Over). Only one drive--for the SD card--should show up over the USB cable. Start reading from this post onwards for the details and for the "bug fix".
The second--the no disk in drive H: message--is related to the same bug, but, the actual reason for the 0 bytes and the message is because the filesystem that is being presented as drive H: is ext3 (the /data partition) and not vfat (AKA FAT32) like for drive G:.

The description above, and details in the post I linked to, should give you a clue if you really want to do this, but, I strongly recommend that you not export /data over the USB cable like that--esp. on a running system. Doing it in CWM is okay; but, not in the ROM--you will very probably trash the /data filesystem if you change anything there.
Hello, I rooted my Nook tablet to CM7 using the SD card method. Now I found out I cannot access the 16G internal memory when I connected to the PC.
I did install the driver and it is shown as an Android composite interface device.
I can see the drive in the MY COMPUTER, but there is no information like size. Clicking it ask me to put in a disk or something like that.
Can anyone please tell me what is going on and how to fix it...
Everything is working fine except I cannot use those space for movies and songs..
no help
but i have the same problem
Forgive me if this is the wrong section to ask this question.
The PS4 had a software update on Tuesday allowing you to play music off USB drives. I would love however to be able to play music off my phone.
I think the PS4 only reads drives with the Fat32 file system, and my phone (HTC Desire 601) only has internal storage currently.
Is it possible to do? My first idea was to find a guide to root my phone, and flash a ROM that has USB Mass Storage. However, I'd have to have my internal storage as Fat32 and I don't know if that's possible.
Is there am app or a way to tell the amount of space that is used on flash memory connected via OTG cable? For example, I have a 16GB micro SD card connected to my Nexus 9 via OTG cable, but I don't know how much of that 16GB space is free. Is there an easy way to find this out?
Since it's a flash drive, which unavoidably connects to your PC at some point, couldn't you tell from your PC?
I'm sure I could, but I want to be able to see from my tablet/phone. The purpose would be so that I can tell how much storage space is remaining on the flash drive/micro SD card without needing to use my computer; I would think this is possible, but am having a difficulty tying to find out how.
I use Root Explorer as my OTG file browser. I long press on the USB storage folder and select properties. The size of the folder is an estimate of used space. I'm sure other apps can do something similar.
I have a teewe hdmi stick which doesn't have an otg option or SD card. So the internal storage is very limited and though the device is capable of running good games but it doesn't have the required space to download big games.
So my question is, can a samba share be mapped to internal storage in this device or for that matter any android device? Or any other way to map cloud storage to internal storage? Please don't mistake the question so that your answer leads to Dropbox or Google Drive
