juts updated to tazz v28 and cannot move any apps to the sd card - any ideas?
Did you enable app moving in the CM settings? I don't have a CM ROM flashed currently (back to xtrSENSE) so I can't tell you exactly where but I think it's one of the first menus in the CM settings.
yes, i have that selected, and it doesn't matter which app i try to move, even w/ app2sd. when i touch the "move to sd card" button, i get the "failed to move application" error message. any help is greatly appreciated. thank you.
You can always do it again, wipe data+dalvik 3x, reflash. Make sure you do a nand backup before you do any flashing !!!!!

-This is due to your sdcard being partitioned more than likely. You can either format the entire card on a pc to fat32 or use recovery to unpartition. FROYO won't recognize the ext partitions on your card. App2Sd on FROYO stores all the apps in the same partition as everything else, just in a separate folder that it creates on its own. ***CAUTION***
(YOU WILL LOOSE ANY DATA ON CARD AS IT WILL BE FORMATED SO BACK UP YOUR CARD FIRST!)
-Boot to recovery.
-partition sdcard.
-0 swap
-0 ext2 for apps2sd.
-this will make one whole fat32 partition.
Resolved or no ?????
i've done everything listed w/ no change. the only thing i haven't done is start over and i was hoping to avoid that. everything else is working well, just running out of space. any other suggestions or thoughts? thank you - it is appreciated.

Sadly I think that starting over is about your only choice, if nothing else has fixed it. You could also always buy a new sd card and use that new one, then one by one start copying files onto the new card from your old one. Check the space available every time you copy a file over to see if it is 1 file causing this problem. Not really sure what else to do about it but what I posted should help. Try that out and let me know what happens.
does the platform make a difference? i'm running cyanogen mod tazz froyo 2.2.1 build, v28 on an htc eris phone w/ a 16gb sd card.

What exactly do you mean? Make a difference to what? Your Apps2SD problem or starting over?
No to either one, in this case.
i meant my app2sd card issue. didn't know if anyone else had this build on this phone and was experiencing a similar problem.
Hi,
I am having the same issue with this ROM, Apps move to SD is failing. I just posted a comment in tazz froyo 2.2.1 build, v28 forum. anyone else having this problem ???
I am having this same problem on my dInc after flashing Kingdom Gengersense 3.0, I have yet to try and reformat my sd card. Hoping that will work
Just formatted the card and did not work. Still won't let me move my apps to SD

It won't let you move any? Some apps don't officially support being moved, but you can force move everything (except you'll not want to move keyboards and widgets because then they won't operate correctly) with Titanium Backup or some other apps out there.
Its Super user is bugged for gingerbread since the update im trying to find the fix
Hi Folks,
I've got a Vibrant freshly upgraded to cm_vibrantmtd_full-171 - The Cm7 nightly from 2011-11-05
(http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=vibrantmtd)
Only issue is the external sdcard is not mounting properly.
Notification on GUI says "Preparing SD card, checking for errors"
logcat - shows that it's actually failing after the disk check, "can't find mount point /mnt/emmc"
a little poking around with ADB shell, shows that /mnt/emmc is actually missing.
Some googling pointed me to /init.rc and it's definitely missing the line "mkdir system:system 000 /mnt/emmc"
So the error makes sense.
Question - can I update init.rc by hand? Or is this something that needs to be fixed in the rom. How can I fix it so that the fix remains persistent over a reboot? (see problem "manually created emmc" below)
Background
When upgrading to CM7 Nightly 171 (2011-11-05) from 158 (2011-10-23) i had some old settings causing a boot loop. As a result I had to reset to factory / wipe dalvik cache / reinstall from recovery, etc to get out of the boot loop.
Also, if I create /mnt/emmc by hand, then reinsert the sd card, Android automatically mounts the sd card correctly. But once I reboot, emmc is no longer there and has to be recreated again by hand.
I know a few other people have posted about this issue on the developer page, so perhaps someone can suggest a solution and share it with them too? (I don't have privileges to post to the developer forum yet.) [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19137595&postcount=8769]
Thanks!
not sure what cm_vibrantmtd_full-171.zip is...??
the name of the full cm7.1.0.1 file should be "update-cm-7.1.0.1-Vibrant-signed.zip"
sounds like your 2 problems could/should be fixed by grabbing the proper version of cm7 link > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297792

-.- cm_vibrantmtd_full-171.zip is a nightly version of cm7 bro...
OP i know that cm7 has always had issues of broken ext sd card if used with gb bootloaders... if you can boot into recovery or dl mode just holdint tthe power button and ONE volume button, zyouve ffound your issue .. just make a nandroid, odin to stock, flash froyo bootloaders, reflash cm7 and restore nandroid...
If not .... i cant help you
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
Thanks for the advice RoxAbout.
I decided to roll back to the last working nightly version (158) that I used.
After I rebooted, the emmc mount point was back and the init.rc had the mountpoint creation line I was expecting. ('mkdir /mnt/emmc 0000 system system')
So now I'm assuming it's a bug in the CM7 nightly.
Thanks for the help.
This is not an invitation to flaming, as I am under the impression that several people have tha same problem, so I will try to gather solution/suggestions here. I have the problem when trying out the new 4.0.4. ROMs, every single one of them are missing the capability to access the external SD card - rather unfortunate since I use it to store music, to back up with Titanium Backup and back up SMS, among other things. And yes, I have wiped, I have run the kernel cleaning script and wiped again, both a system wipe and cleaned the dalvik cache. Still no luck. Now I am aware that there are tools to mount the SD card, but after trying Multi Mount SD-Card Lite, Mount /system (rw / ro) and Drive Mount from Play Store, I still come up empty, literally. I have had 5 Android phones and all have been equipped with various ROMs, so I usually know what I am doing. I even pulled out tha SD card and wiped it on the computer and then formatted it/partitioned it IN the phone. It is a big shame, since ROMs like AdyScorpius, Omega's v3 and especially DraginICS and the F1 ROM are tempting and stunning looking. Any help? Please??

Firstly this is in the wrong thread.
Secondly, have you tried going up to the root directory, and making sure it's not under \emmc
I have, and it sometimes is, but isn't this an issue? I mean, as a frequent flasher I am used to ROMs where everything works, so I would say that is in the making of the ROM, which I doubt since the source is a Google project. But even with Directory Bind, I can't link it. It is over my head, I don.t understand why some people have the problem, and most not. And sorry for posting in the wrong forum, can somone move this or close it?

I think most people are used to the SD card being in a different directory now so they don't mention it. For some roms, there is a flashable zip which mounts it back as sdcard/external_sd (or whatever it was called)
Sent from my GT-I9100
I'm having the same issue. When I restore back to Sense 3.6, my SD is back. Not sure of the issue.
Will not mount. I've went to recovery/Mounts/ and mounted there to no avail.
Also popped out the SD and put it back in, no avail.
When I check my 'Music' it says your content is unavailable because your phone is being used as USB storage. Disconnect USB. -- it's not connected to any USB, oddly.
EDIT: my issue was GB-ICS related and flashed this - http://www.htctweaker.com/RezROM/RezROM_oldfirm_patch.zip for ICS and it fixed my mounting issues.
The thread says it all. I have a rooted EVO LTE running the CM 10. Everything was working fine until I accessed the SD Card from within TWRP to copy a file. Now I get errors when I look at the command line within TWRP "failed to mount /sdcard {Invalid argument)". Can anybody help me? Thanks so much to all of this community.

The only way I was able to fix this was to mount the SDCard over USB in Recovery Mode and reformat it. I lost what was on there, but it's working now.
I formated my card through windows 7 and I still have the same problem. I never had this issue on any of my previous rooted phones I am really gettin pissed with the lte...

Are you guys also having trouble accessing the Camera? Mine doesn't seem to pick up my SD card and only allows me to use the Camera using external storage...
Well when I pull my camera up my phone days " no external storage available" then at the bottom if my screen another pop up says "insert an SD card before using the camera" I have my SD in....idk what to do. I searched the threads already but nothing besides some guy saying format my SD...I did that but now I have the same problem along with my pictures and music being erased.

Well you could have put the files on your comp first and then reformatted, but I am having the same problem. I guess we just gotta hang in there. It will be fixed soon I hope.
I'm having the same issue with the Aug. 31 CM10 nightly. I cannot access my SD card. If I look in system memory, it shows the card and the size, but I cannot access it, same as you guys. Trying with TWRP to wipe, it shows a bunch of e: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). Still no solutions?

I was able to mount the SDCard over USB in Recovery Mode and reformat it from my computer. Obviously I lost my data that was on the SDCard, but none of the apps I had running were affected. Once I did this and rebooted into CM10, everything was fine and I just made a fresh Titanium Backup of all of my apps. My previous TWRP Nandroids were on the SDCard, so they were lost, but I can always reinstall another ROM and restore my Titanium Backups and go from there. Hope that helps.
I had this same exact problem, but the external storage it is referring to is actually your internal sd card, and not the external.
What you need to do is go into TWRP and mount YOUR INTERNAL sd card (don't switch to external), and in windows 7 format it.

AWESOME! Thanks!
So I'm having a similar issue, except I didn't try to access the external sd card from TWRP. And yes I've verified its the actual physically removable card.
I can see it in the system storage menu. However when I try to access it in Estrongs, it's no longer mounted as ext_sd in the sdcard folder. I did some digging and found it's now mounted as external_sd in the root folder of the phone. Looking in the storage folder, it still shows up as sdcard1, and my internal storage is still sdcard0. This seems to have happened after I flashed one of the nightlies, like 9/1 or 9/2. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
I'd rather not revert to my last backup, which was a Sense rom. I think this is screwing with the media scanner, because none of my sounds for alarms calls or texts work anymore

this is a work around for the HTC method of listing the sd cards, in my opinion HTC really screwed the pooch with the way they labeled the file system. The way sense accesses the external sd is through a shortcut to the physical address of the external sd. It really screwed with apps like power amp which had no problem reading both cards but if for example you went to power amp and marked what folders had your music by selecting the folders through the ext_sd folder shortcut it would read and list your music twice. another user who flashed cm10 noticed this (not the ext_sd file problem but the way CM10 was confused by the structure) and quickly wrote (then generously shared) a script that would rewrite the address correctly. I guess that a similar script (or that very same one) was introduced to the installer for the nightly builds
Wow thanks for the clear explanation. I too thought the ext_sd method was screwy, with all of my custom notification sounds showing up twice. Any idea on how to fix my alarm and call sounds not working? Can't afford to miss a day of class lol
This isn't definite as I haven't had to but going to fix permissions might help if some programs aren't recognizing the file tree
Welp, it was worth a shot, but no go. Ima keep tinkering. Thanks anyway tho
Well here's what I did after I flashed the original rewrite script, I had to factory reset (changes survived)and then wipe system, then reflash the nightly build (fastboot kernel for boot 1.15+)
Edit: I still have the shortcut folder on my internal however its not linked anymore so nothing shows up, everything else works fine
Ok, tried a full reset, wiped data, system, caches. Ringtones are working again, as are text tones. Alarms, still silent as ever... I'm so confused right meow
Sorry to hear that man
I have tried various kernels and CWM versions but, over the last week, I haven't been able to get any version of CWM to flash zips stored on the internal memory. I select the zip, there is a short pause, then it goes back to the top level menu of CWM. I know it isn't the zip file being corrupt because, on more than one occasion to confirm, I have copied the zip which fails directly over to the external memory stick using USB mount in CWM and it then flashes fine from that.
Anyone else have this issue? It doesn't seem to effect any other aspect of the phone that I can see, every OS I flash boots fine and the internal memory can be copied to/from and examined either from a mount on a PC or applications like Root Explorer.
So no one else has had this issue?

Have you tried to format your SD?

Yup, formatted my internal SD card with no effect.
Strange to see this thread has been given a single star by someone when it's hardly an unreasonable question. Some people really are a bit odd.
