Flashed CM, but where's my external SD? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody!
I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1... It's a very nice ROM, but I have a big problem!
YES, I formatted my external SDcard to fat32!
When I want to go on my external SD storage, I must go to /storage/sdcard1 or something like that, and if I want to go to my internal storage, I must go to /.../legacy...
On Stock, there was it very easy; there were two options: sdcard0 and extSdCard....
Is this issue/bug fixable?
Oh yes, and I want to save my pictures and downloads on externalsd....
Has anyone an idea? )
Greetings...

It's not an issue. Partitions has been changed in CM and that's why now they're called differently....

Can I change it to the normal names, like stock?
How can I save downloads and photos automatically on external storage?

you should make up for that with searching and reading the instructions, not asking pointless questions

Just FYI: this has nothing to do with CM 10.1 or stock.
This is related to Android 4.2.X vs. 4.1.X.
4.2.X supports multiuser, and that functionality requires this new way of structuring sdcard.
CM 10.1 is based on 4.2.2, so you end up with the new structure.
But also stock XXUFMB3 does the same.
It used to bother me at the beginning, but I got used to it.
If you do not like the new path, you can also point your applications to /data/media and you end up in your internal sdcard.

Listen to deez. If you use AOKP or AOSP, you need to format your sd card to fat32.

To format a card or external drive to Fat32, using Windows, just follow the link and click on the picture to download!! So easy a caveman could do it!

Sorry but it is not possible to restore files from a full-wiped S3 since the data partition is for multiple reasons no longer an additional fat32 partition but piggybacking in the system's ext4.
However I want to point out that a full-wipe is only done on the stock recovery, not when using Cwm.

[Q] Internal storage nowhere to be seen?

As soon as I flashed cm10.1 on my p769 and plugged the phone into my computer, I realized the internal storage is nowhere to be seen. Only the 16 gb SD card shows up. Also in my phone in Root Explorer, I try to find the internal storage but I still can't see it, as the directory /storage only give me a folder titled /sdcard0, which is actually my SD card In the storage settings my phone shows that it is using the internal storage for apps and whatnot. Thanks

[Q] Can I see files and bypass password??

Hey all
So I was wondering if I can explore files, pics, music from an un-rooted password-protected phone?
I presumed I can do that by flashing a CF-ROOT then opening recovery and mount storage!!
Is that possible???
Up?
