Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Internal SD Card or External? If external, yes.

You are having problem with external, right? Yea, external. Can you mount it afterward?

Yes, I can mount.
Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

Internal SD card Memory already full. When I install the application, says there is not enough memory.

No, filled internal SD card for 16gb. On my phone 16gb internal memory, and external sd card 32gb and the sd card is not filled.

So if I move, it will be filled again. Not music, pictures, videos, etc., fill applications. Again there will be the problem.

how do I correctly setup my external sd card(16gb) to allow apps to be installed on it?
I made a partition in recovery that's 2gb with 0mb swap, but It's not showing it anywhere.
can someone please help?
...whenever i choose to show the SD, it only shows my internal sd card. it can't recoginize my external card for apps.
Apps dont move to your ext sd, they move to your internal memory. The sd part is misleading.
yes i know that, but i'm asking, how do i make it go to my external sd?

Works for me with link2sd. Don't know why its not reading your sd tho. But that's the app I use and it's flawless. Still have all internal storage available and apps linked appropriately.

My phone reads my sd just fine, but app2sd shows my internal as my sd and not my external so it copies to back to the phone.

Give link2sd a try. Apps2sd didn't work for me either. Never had any problems with link.

I brought over my sd card from my 3d. It now saves pictures in a directory called ext sd. How can I change this back?

Believe it or not... That is actually your external sd card

I can take the card out, look at it on the computer and I see both. It's like the os sees two different sd cards.

Now I'm more confused. If I look at the root, I see sdcard and sdcard2 (which points to the sd_ext directory.

Your phone has an internal (sdcard) and external (sdcard2). They are linked by sdcard/ext_sd path.
also data/media/ is linked to the internal (sdcard)...
That's craziness. So everything needs to be moved to the sd_ext directory?

It doesn't have to, you can swap the two mount points around. There are at least two threads on this on the Android Dev forum, search before posting. Also there's a FAQ roundup thread by me in this forum, read it if you're new with the phone...
Racer Of All said:
Q: Is there a way to move application data (such as huge game files) to the SD Card instead of the phone storage?
A: YES! But either root or HTCDev Unlock is required. The simplest method is the one maxdamage2122 posted. It's a simple zip file you flash and swaps your mount points around (sdcard becomes your external card and sdcard2 becomes your internal phone storage) you can find his thread here. If you don't have HTCDev unlock but do have root filmaker made a how-to guide to do the same thing here.

EDIT: Also if you don't want to move the swap points but you want your camera to save pictures to your external card:
Racer Of All said:
Q: Why are my pictures saved to the internal phone storage and how can I force it to save to the SD card?
A: When you first launched your camera app (assuming you had an SD card in) it should have asked you if you wanted to save to the SD card. Either way, the problem is easily fixed within the camera settings or by going to Settings> Storage> App storage locations and choosing Storage card for each option.

I notice that anything I download goes to that folder. What is that? Is that on the sd card or internal memory?

Normally its called "extSD" and thats the (external) microSD.

You said ExSD. ExtSD is the external memory card; you can change your download location for the stock browser in settings, and the camera app will automatically detect a memory card and ask you.
Is there a way to move apps to SD to free some internal memory? I'm currently running CM10.1

try foldermount.
Of course some of those applications should be movable to sd anyways. I wouldn't move anything that you use often. I wouldn't move anything that needs to be active most of the time, i.e. widgets.
My understanding---and someone correct me if I'm wrong---is no. The way the S4 mounts the SD card means that it's not recognized as external. I believe even the stock update doesn't really move apps, or at least appdata, to the SD card.
Now, I await someone to tell me that I'm wrong, or at least that I'm right for the wrong reasons.

The SD card is recognized as external and is treated as such. What you're thinking of is the internal partition labeled SD card, which is emulated. The external card is its own entity in the file system and is denoted as external.
As for the OP, a third party app is the best and only way to move apps AND their data to your external SD card.

Just want to clarify that foldermount is a solution for those apps you can't move into the SD card with apps2sd or some program like that.

You know an app that would work on GS4/CM10?
Hi guys! I'm thinking about getting a Mipad4, just wonder if I can also get a SD card & format it to internal storage? thx!
Were you able to do this?
Just bumping this up, is it possible to use sd card as internal storage? Or adoptable storage please?
Yes it is. I am using a 200gb card in my Mipad 4 as internal memory.

Yes most of the apps but not all. Some modules in EdXposed will not work so you have to move them to the real internal memory.
How did you set this up? Is there a particular ROM or was this installed later? Did you use a tool to set the partition? Perhaps a link to docs and downloads would help if you have them.
