i have 32GB memory card and i want to know that how can i install (flash) rom on this card???
You can't.
may b ........ but is there any way that i can make the sd card as a internal memory then i flash the rom
my friend has the motorolla photon and he can flash the the rom on his 32gb sd card so may there is any way that we can do it on sgs2?
I guess the first question is Why?

Because he has 32 Gb sd card
@OP. I asked same question in dorimanx q/a thread and he who replied me said something about sym linking

the negatives are going to outweigh any benefits
A card is going to be slower than using the internal memory. Theoretically, anything is possible, but the work needed to achieve what would only really be a proof of concept.

Okay, I would want to keep this as brief as I can, but I want to make it detailed as possible.
So, I just bought SGS2 (16GB), I downloaded ZD Box to move my downloaded game apps to SD card. (Of course I'm aware of the absence of the SD card) But what I wanted to do is to move those apps to the 11+ GB of available space from the 1.78GB of device memory.
Question is, how can I do it?

So, I just bought SGS2, what I realized was I was "conned" because there is no 8GB microSD card included with it.
Why would there be an extra card its not part of the normal package .
If your vendor sold you a 16GB SGS2 with an extra 8GB sd card take it back .

That's not much of a big deal cuz I have an extra microSD card at home, the main question is how? And not about the microSD card.
Hello all!
I'm not able to post in the development forum (since I'm a noob with less than 10 posts ).
I just moved from the 182 CM7 Nightly on my Vibrant to the Passion ICS v10.
Everything is running pretty darn smooth and thing I thought i'd be missing from CM7 are not really bothering me.
The issue I'm having is with my 8GB external SD card. I'm getting the standard SD Card is empty of has an unrecognizable filesys.
1. I've tried formatting through Storage menu, recovery menu, blackberry and an adapter.
2. I've tried all the tricks on the forums.
The build is not recognizing the card for some reason. I plug the card into my Blackberry and its fine.
I took the 2GB card from the blackberry and put it in the vibrant and it immediately recognized it and mounted w/o a hitch.
Is there a size issue/bug w/ the external SD?
Have you tried taking the SD card and plugging it into your computer, and then formatting it from there?
EDIT: I just tried it with my 8GB microSD card. It looks like mine's not being recognized either.
I'm not running ICS, but maybe it just doesn't support that much on an SD? Just throwing out ideas and maybes.
That would be really silly. Not supporting 8GB SD card .
Kept trying a few more tricks. Still have the same issue.
Also, when I added the 2GB the internal unmounted. Have to go in and manually mount the internal after external mounts (just the first time).
This is a just a heads up.

Omg yes i have the same issue, but ive looked into it some more..
I have 2 128mb, a 2gb (that came with the phone) and a 4gb and 8gb sdhc of the same brand... the 8gb and one of the 128mb dont get seen (and the 128s are identical) ive tried formatting in fat16 and fat 32 and ntfs and even mac os x journaled lol and nothing worked... i then returned to cm7 and formatted from there... went back to ics passion v9.2 and then v10 and cm9 and ssame exact symptoms... so idk.. its not because of sdHC, it doesnt sseem to be filesystem and the 128mb thing just really blows my mind..
Hope we get an answer

might be something specific to your card...im on ics 16 gb sd card working perfectly. loving ics !
I have a 16gig Ext SD card and I am having the same issue. So frustrating!
im using an 8gb and it works just find. but to acces the files on the SDcard i look under "emmc" or "mnt/emmc" or "home/emmc" (depending on which file browser you use).

Obviously this question is turning to be a bug. There is confirmation from several users with the same problem.
I have a 4Gb micro sd Patriot and seems to be OK.
You have to look into emmc folder.
Wow , thanks for the awesome pointers that I should look into EMMC folder (sarcasm btw).
The bug is about the SD CARD NOT BEING MOUNTED and reporting as blank and having a non-supported filesystem.
The card in question works fine on the PC and 2 other phones one of the Vibrant with stock ROM.
I only want to help.
I understand your point but we want to exclude options. Can you try another SD cards in this same phone?

Bro read my earlier post, i already tried my 2 128mb cards, my 2gb, 4gb and my 8gb, and they work on all romz except that the 8gb and one 128mb do not work on ics

I'm also having this problem. Have tried multiple cards in multiple format options. None of them mount, it just gives me a "Damaged SD card" error notification when I try to mount manually. Freaking sucks I can't use my 32gb card anymore.

Have you tried smaller ones like the original 2gb that came with the phone? It should work for you
Btw, just general info, I fixed my 128mb with SD formatter program so that just leaves my 8gb unworking.. and sdformatter had no effect on the 8 gb

I had the exact problem mounted/unmounted I could still read on PC's. It seems this ICS can't handle symbols (external_sd, etc) in filenames - food for thought!

I have the same problem with ICS Passion with my 8gb Sd card.
I can see the files and open them but for an example, when trying to play them in the music player (google music or winamp) I can't.
Any Ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks...

You'll have to include a little more information. Do you want CM7 to be installed internally or do you want it to run from an SD card?

If it runs from an SD will the stock software be replaced? If so, I'd rather just do it internally.

Nope, if you run from the SD card, your stock ROM will not be touched.

Follow the SD VERSION IMAGE directions in this post. It's very simple.

I am using CM7 from SD and it works great, but be careful and read all you can before you do whatever you decided. I tried to use the internal version and I messed it up. That is why am running from SD. Still working on fixing my partitions and such.

Try booting with the USB cable in. For some unknown reason, many people can't boot from SD unless they're plugged into power.

I tried that method. This is a fairly new Nook (about 2 weeks old). Could the software or something have been changed so that it can no longer boot from the SD card?

Not necessarily. You can try to make a bootable CWM SD card and just flash CM7 internally from there. It's worth a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446987

I am using a Samsung card. I'm unsure of the class as it came with my cell phone (after checking it is a class 10 card going by the write speeds I've been seeing). I'm not a large consumer of micro SD cards so I don't have a collection. I don't see why the NT couldn't have an SD card reader. I have plenty of those lol.
go to wally world get a sandisk class 4 card you can get 8 gigs or so for around 10 bucks.. cheaper online but wally is faster if your in a hurry. that card is going to give you issues more then likely
Why would a lower class card be better?

It turns out that sometimes random read/write speeds are actually higher on some lower class cards. Here's some reading material if you're interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150369
But honestly, I've found SanDisk to be a very reliable brand. I have a 32GB SanDisk Class 4 that I use just for my NT and am really pleased with it.
hi all,
I've been trying using my 64gb sandisk sd card for about 4days or so the problem i have come across in the CWM 6.0.1.2, it wont mount External sd card nor it would read that card whilst in recovery mode
Now i dont know whether its suppose to be like this or the CWM doesn't support or maybe there is something wrong with my Sd card?
I just need little help to fix this issue
Cheers
None had this problem?

How did you format the card? It is a known issue that ExFat Formatting on 64G cards will NOT work on the SGSIII and you have to format your card as Fat32.
Try and format the card on your computer as Fat32 and it should work.
It's because the 64gb sandisk is formatted by default as exFat, which is not supported by CWM
The only solution to this is to remformat the card, probably at fat32 as this is the most widely used but BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA FROM extSD FIRST!! as reformatting will wipe the card
Then CWM will recognise this as normal
Mind you fat32 does have its disadvantages, mainly that you won't be able t have a single file bigger then 4gb on it
eh more than 4gb? then whats point of having 64gb SDcard?
i didnt know that was issue with the s3 will there be exFat support in CWM? its really frustrating
Thanks for replies
It's not an issue with the S3 I believe, it's just CWM -no idea if it will be updated to support it though :S
The 4gb thing only means that any one file cannot be bigger then 4gb e.g. you couldn't have a movie file that is 4.5gb in size.
Really it's no problem to have it as fat32 unless you have seriously big files

It is unknown at this time if ExFat will be properly supported but I would assume that at some point it may be. Also, just in case you dont already know, The SGSIII is NOT capable of moving apps to the ExtSD card natively either so if that is one of the reasons you bought such a big card, I hate to "bring you down".
There are some methods to switch your internal and external SD cards to assist in this issue but you will have to search and read the threads to find out the methods.
Just so you know...
yeah i know that i just backup using appcontrol and then move them to exSD
thats quite helpful i didnt know all this else i'd have not given up my 32gb card its quite lame TBH!
cheers for the help least i wont keep formatting my sd card now lol

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
