Hey guys. I have CWM 6.0 and the CM10 ROM from here and I love it. However, whenever I open Gallery, or try to download a file, I can't and get the message "No external storage available". I don't have an SD card inserted, however my NT has an internal SD card (I'm guessing the recovery partition) of 1 GB, and I've tried un/remounting that, and the message still exists. Can you guys help?
Several apps insist on external sd-cards. So the simplest solution is to just insert an sd-card!
I don't know if it's possible to fiddle with the void (I think that's the name...) file or something like that to make the internal storage show up as external. I know that was possible in CM7, but I haven't been bothered enough to look around for it. I just have a small (1GB) card inserted just to keep those apps (for example Swiftkey) happy.

Awesome, that works. I guess I need to buy a new SD card then haha. One other question...My computer doesn't seem to detect the internal storage of the Nook (or the SD card) when connected via USB. It just shows up as Removable Device and when I click on it, I get the message "Please insert device". Is there a fix for that? I'd like to transfer music to the Nook and not have to take out the SD card everytime.
When you connect the NT to the PC there should be a small notification in the notification bar. It says something "USB connected". Tap that and then you probably get to another screen where you get prompted to "turn on USB" storage or something like that. Once that is done you will have access to the SD-card and the user patition of the internal storage.

I feel like I'm missing something, and I'm hoping that someone went through this and can make me feel less inept.
Just got my new GTablet. I bust it open, run the update from viewsonic, reboot. Then, I go to install clockworkmod and I can't get my PC to recognize the SD card. When I look at the browser on the tablet, unplugged from USB, I see the "SDCARD" directory, but it is there whether I have the card in or not. I plug it up to the PC with the card in it and the only thing that shows is the 13GB storage on the tablet. Unlike my Android Phone, which shows the phone memory and the SD memory as two separate removable disks, I'm only seeing 1.
I've formatted the SD card on the tablet, which does see that there is a card, but aside from that, I can't get to it... ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
On the PC: the internal memory is seen as SD1, the external SD slot is seen as SD2
After you formatted your Micro SDHD card on your G tAb, did you mount it ?
I've mounted, unmounted while the tablet was plugged up and not plugged up. I threw it in my HTC Incredible to see if there was a problem with the card, but I can browse to it fine through my phone. I formatted it on the PC (FAT32) and tried again. I see The SDCARD and SDCARD2 on the tablet, but it never shows up on the PC. The only thing I see is "Removabled Disk" with 12.7 of 13GB free.
So, I've now tried a new card, with still no go. I mean, I added clockworkmod to the SD card via windows, tried to boot to it through recovery, but it goes to the unpacking splash screen and reboots after 10 seconds. I can go into the file explorer and see the update.zip that I added to the SD card at /sdcard2/... Any help would be appreciated. Help =(

This is normal behavior for the G Tablet. Only the internal memory will mount on your PC.
Thanks for that. I figured it out after reading through a lot of the guides that directed me to install from the internal "SDCARD."
Since reading your post, I've got everything up and running with Cyanogenmod installed and running... Thanks to everyone that threw your two cents.

Hi,
Is it possible to move an existing app or install new app to USB Storage (comes along with SGS2) and not to the external SD card (i dont have though as 16 Gb is enough for me )......
When ever i install an app its getting installed in System storage (only 2 GB max available and i already have nearly 1.3 gb filled up there ).......so is it possible to move the stuffs from there to the internal USB STORAGE.........i checked app2sd but seems to be its poitning to the external sd card.....
also, when i went to applications and clicked "Move to SD card" its shwoing as not enough memory......
i have tried searching entore XDA but could find a viable solution.....
@JJEgan: Please do not tell me to search the net/ xda forums as a reply to this question (which u have already given to others http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135233) as i have already searched a lot and tried different apps...but none could give me what i am really looking for.......
Any help on this is much appreciated........
Hmm, when I select Move to SD, it moves it. No problem at all. Puts them on the internal one.
Unreleated but might be helpful

When I moved some of my apps to sdstorage (internal) I did not know that if you do a factory reset it wipes your internal sdstorage (i.e. sdcrad), so make sure you do a backup to computer if you need to factory reset your device.
ATB
Oh wow. Which 'factory reset' function are we talking about in that case? You know, the one through the dialer, or the one in the options menu. I know, they do exactly the same but.. I noticed that if I select wipe data/factory reset in the recovery menu, it does not touch my SD cards at all. Let it be internal or external. Weird huh?
I am not too sure...

The thing is that I keep fiddling with my phone and my internal sdcard got wipe a few times. I know that the dialer will delete your stuff on the internal sdcard, but I think the one on the options menu also delete the sdcard, but I am not 100% sure and dont really want to try again just incase. So unless someone can confirm it better do a backup to PC.

Am i missing something here folks, sorry to hijack this thread i dont wanna start a new one and it's a similar issue i have,when i connect the cable from my phone to the usb on my laptop i cant see my SD card (even after i have unmounted sd card)
what am i doing wrong here, all i wanna do is to copy music and files onto my external SD without having to physically taking the SD card out of the phone.
cheers
Unmount? You must've meant mount. You mean when you select Mount USB from the status bar, the external sd won't show up? What about the internal one, can you access that one?

Guys,
Sorry to disturb you in your conversation
but, i think my question is not answered or i didnt understood the replies.....can any one of you pls help me
i am having the same problem as smilingcruel. keeps saying not enough memory. Am i actually trying to save to an external sd and is there a setting i should change? running out of space quick.
Hi.
I have the same problem, but it seems no one has answered the question yet.
Is there any solution ?
Maybe the problem has been addressed in some other thread... thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same problem that when I say move to SD it tells me "Failed to move application: Not enough Memory" but when I look on the sd card I see it there.
Also, it seems not all can be moved to the internal sd card. I was hoping to do something like link2sd does but it requires you to repartition the SD card and I'm not how to do that with the internal one.
link2sd rocks for creating links for just about any app on your sd card.
Not sure if this would help. I have been having d same prob previously.
But once i inserted a SD card (regardless of wat d size is), i'd able to send d apps to the internal memory through app2sd. (not d external sd in fact)
No answer yet ?
How can we move our app from internal phone memory ( 2 gb ) to out USB Storage (30 gb internal )
Move to SD option says that "Failed to move application.No SD card"
I have enough memory on my phone (32 bg ) and I don't want to add an external SD card , how can I sole this problem ?
thanks
So there is any solution to install apps on USB Storage? Because when I move them by App2sd to external SD they disappeared after rebot.
I'm using Omega v19.2 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM, but probably it's the same problem on stock.
I am having this issue also, but in Jelly Bean.
I used a 4GB SD card to flash my phone with Chameleon ROM (4.1.2 JB) and the SmartROM kernel, when the phone was setup and working I removed the SD card.
Before when I used Resurrection Remix (also 4.1.2 JB) that was not an issue, but then again I had never used a SD card with it.
Now I can not install anything because of lack of space and I can not move any app to the Internal "USB" partition... even though there is 5 GB free.
I did format the entire phone (using CWM Recovery, formatted system, data, etc, etc) before I installed Chameleon.
What gives?
This thread went quiet without a resolution, I have the same issue on 4.1.2, with my internal sd 12gb partition being empty and apps not moving either saying failed or not enough space.
With an external sd card mounted it moves them there, but after a reboot as others mentioned they now longer function.
Any help would be appreciated!
Parition works with CM9 and CM10.2 oddly not sammy 4.1.2

Hello
I've been flashing AOSP lately and my phone recently wont recognize the internal SD card/ROM memory. It says file system unsupported and it wants me to format the external one when that is not really the case. I remove my external SD card and I still cant use the camera, take screenshots, see keyboard predictions or even create folders in the card.
I pull up storage settings and the total internal storage space is 2.12GB (when its supposed to be ~9 gigs). The apps menu displays 0.00B on the "On SD card" tab.
Here's a detailed description of app issues:
*Camera/Gallery- Pulls NO storage alert saying "No external storage available" "Insert an SD card before using the camera".
*Screenshots- "Couldn't capture screenshot". on notifications bar.
*Swiftkey predictions- "Predictions not available. Check SD card."
*Google music- Doesn't pull up the thumbnails of the albums.
I know all this suggests the external SD card is screwed, but I can read/write anything in it.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out and let you know.
Edit: I connected the device to my computer and it didn't show up below My computer or pop up any USB storage device, it only made the sound of something connecting. Then I rebooted to recovery (I'm using latest TWRP), mounted internal and still wouldn't show up. I entered devices and printers, right clicked the device and it was showing as H:, hovered to the open storage option, formatted and walla! Why didn't I ever think of connecting it to my computer...
Howdy,
I had an sd card working fine in the Swift 2 but it suddenly stopped working and couldn't be read by a PC either. I have therefore bought a new one but I can't get it working right in the Swift.
The phone recognises when I put the card in so it's not broken. I can format it okay and I can tell Android to use it as External (for storing photos or music) or as Internal (for apps etc) but whatever I do it does not seem to work. I cannot download any large apps as I get a message asking me insert an sd card and if I try to use the camera or gallery I get a similar message "No external storage available".
Looking in the settings for Storage & USB I can see Android clearly recognises the card but no apps will use it. Is there another step to the set up I'm missing or something?
Thanks for your help.

I have a problem with my tablet not recognising the sd card. It is not specific to a particular card, I have tried 3 and they all behave the same. The cards function correctly in other devices.
When I go to Settings, Storage the card is not showing, only internal storage. However, if I go to My Files the SD card is showing and I can read to and write from the card.
When I go to Apps, choose an app and then choose Storage I have an option to move the app to external storage. When I choose this option I get a message saying there is not enough room on the card even though the card is essentially empty .
Can anyone suggest how I can get the SD card to show under Storage and also how to move apps to the card?
Thank you.
OK, my bad. The card does show under Storage, I just wasnt looking in the right place. However I still cant move apps to the card.
My internal storage is now nearly full and I have a totally empty SD card, would love to get a fix for this issue.
Thanks.
