I installed various Android 4.3 ROMs (Carbon, SliemBean, PA, CM), and in all of them the internal and external storage did not work, but I saw that other people it does not happen anymore.
Is there a solution for this?
Is this a common problem for the 4.3 ROMs? Common among xt910 and xt912? Affecting both internal and external storage? Always? At random? Or any rhyme or reason?

I am also having issues with when I mount my phone as a USB storage device on my PC. The phone abruptly unmounts whenever I start file transfer. I am using PA 3.99 JB 4.3 rom. I will appreciate any help.
I also need help on this thread. Thank you all: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45217945#post45217945
"insufficient storage" after ROM flash
I just flashed android 4.3 ROM on my phone (phone is Infuse 4g, ROM is CM10.2 - 8/30/2013 - Butter)
after I have restored most of my apps w/ data using Titanium Backup, I don't have any storage left (according to notifications and phone storage information - couldn't update apps, and several apps couldn't be restored (restore process stopped at 94%)
when I go to settings > storage, there's message "Storage space is running out", Total space shown for internal storage is 1.28GB, Available is 9.44MB,
however, when I connect to computer it shows that I still have more then 9GB available on the internal storage.
when I was flashing ROM, I had to go back to ICS ROM, (I've lost root access ), then 4.2 Rom, then 4.3. it warned me that it will re-partition my storage, and I may lose any data - I agreed, as I had everything backed up. now I don't really have a storage
I assume it has something to do with partitioning, but I have no Idea how to fix it, or what is the best way go around it. please help.

I have a xt910 umts_spyder, internal sd card works on first boot
after the second boot the internal sd card stops working, external sd is working normal
happens with every 4.3 ROM, I already tried to reformat the internal Storage using a 4.3 ROM
Also note that they don't mount in /mnt anymore but in /storage as sdcard0 and sdcard1.

thanks. I didn't see that same problem was listed already. will try to wipe cache/dalvic cache as it is suggested there. will report results later
it's really weird that nobody mentioned this problem on the developer's forum.

I've been using PACman V06 for a week or so now, no problems whatsoever. ext SD and USB mounting have been flawless.
As for the internal storage issue, when using Stock rom slot, or using a completely unaltered phone, the stock rom recognizes the entire internal storage, as the only partitioning are the internal storage, and the stock system partition. When you create a new slot, that rom only recognizes the partition it was created on as valid storage. This is to prevent changes to other rom slots inadvertently, I believe.
I have this issue only with some apps, titanium backup, root explorer are able to identify my intetnal. Last night I connect my phone to pc and the pc sometimes see my internal and sometimes the pc doesnt recognizes my internal...I use Slimbean for a week now. Its been doing great exept this internal thing. External storage is well recognized
Hello me...its me again...
are there any news on that problem?

I have wiped cache/dalvic cache as it was suggested before... twice... didn't help at all
also, in the CWM Recovery I saw that sdcard0, sdcard1, datadata, system and data are "unmounted"... I have mounted them all, but it didn't make any difference either (I'm not sure if it would even make any difference, or these mount/unmount setting is only for CWM Recovery, because on the next boot into CWM everything but cache is unmounted again
any other idea on what can be done to fix it?
here's another update.
I've flashed different 4.3 ROM ([ROM][JellyBean][4.3][Official]BeanStalk Build 4.3.1015 - Updated 10/27/2013 - 4.3) - same issue. next day I went back to stock, and formatted everything I could (all but "android secure") - it didn't help either. Now I have Ginger Bread, with same partitioning problem - about 1.2 GB for system and apps, and about 13 GB for everything else (I removed microSD card for now.)
I used to have all apps in one spot, and they would take a lot more space then 1.2 GB... now I cannot restore all of them from backup (Titanium Backup Pro), as there is not enough space.
I don't remember having such partitioning before I flashed it with 4.3 ROM
any suggestion? have I missed anything?

there seems to be no update on that problem
here's good reply on this problem from another forum:
The Jack of Clubs said:
the infuse is older than the galaxy nexus so theres no datamedia or mtp. the 16gb storage is typically called the internal sdcard (nonremovable) because it acts more like an sdcard and doesnt share partition and storage with the data partition. the data partition is called internal storage, which on the infuse is about 2gb, though a little less on cm10.2 because the system partition was made bigger for newer versions of android. if your having low storage issues on the data partition, youre going to probably have to move some of your apps to the internal 16gb sdcard by going into settings > apps > on sd card and moving some of them over. i would not recommend moving over apps that sync or run in the background, but if you have a lot of games, those typically move fine. i would do that until you have atleast 400mb of the internal storage free. ive talked to araemo in irc how hard it would be to setup datamedia on the infuse to combine the internal sdcard and data partition. long story short, rather difficult and it would be too big a hit on performance.

to support this, here's my story: I have already went back to Froyo, and saw that internal storage is 1.8 GB, now I'm back to 4.3 ROM, and it's 1.26 again
looks like I always had it all partitioned, but I haven't noticed it until system partition got changed and internal storage became smaller.
it might not be true for all other phones, as they can be partitioned differently, but it's true for samsung infuse, and probably for a number of other samsung phones.
I have tried CM10.2 , PA RC-2 , slimbean , and even carbon 4.3 but none of these roms detect my internal storage

the problem also appears on CM11 (Android 4.4)
i need to wipe the /cache partition bevore every boot
then it mounts the storages, but if i don't wipe it it won't mount the internal storage
so the problem has to be on the /cache partition?
Hi,
I though this issue was happening only with the 4.3 based ROMs but that still happens even with CM 10.2 ROM.
That failure is not happening all the time, sometimes you just need to wait after the boot and there is the ext-sd again.
yes i think it happens very sporadically
I've got the sdcard unmounted issue with all android4.3 roms that i've tried. Device is XT910 and recovery was BMM 0.3.4. I will use the phone with safestrap 3.65 for a while to check if it's a rom or recovery thing.

I've tried SS, but nothing changed.,
I used to have Cyanognenmod 10.1.3 installed on my phone, then I wanted to install CM 11. I figured out I had to update safestrap first - from v3.11 to v3.65.
After I updated safestrap, I was able to install the CM 11 and the 4.3.0 Gapps, because the KitKat 4.4 Gapps version did not install when I tried it. But ever since I'm using CM 11, I've been having problems with baterry level (it doesn't appear to update unless I reboot my phone) and and SD card (SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem) considering I can still save stuff on it.
Did I do something wrong? What should I do to solve it?
Up
I flashed the last nightly and instead of using the KK 4.4.2 Gapps (it didn't install) I went with 4.4.
I'm calibrating the battery using an application from Play Store, after it's done I'll update about the results.
The SD Card problem persists, my Razr won't recognize it, when I open "storage/sdcard1" file, there is only "/Android" data file on it, but when I open my SD Card on desktop with SD adapter it shows everything (Music, Images, Video, etc.). The SD format is already FAT32.
As the title says, I'm looking for a ROM that is KK based, but also supports exFAT formatted MicroSD Cards. I was on OmniROM and CyanogenMod, and I like the ROMs, but I'm not sure if they support exFAT formatted MicroSD cards or not. I know they don't support ext4 formatted SD cards well, which is why I temporarily rolled back to a 4.3 Sammy based ROM. I prefer KK, but I also don't want to have to keep my MicroSD card formatted in FAT32 if I don't have to.
exFAT support on omnirom via boeffla kernel
Recently, I was exploring OmniROM 4.4.2 and was quite amazed that i could not see my files on a 64GB exfat formatted sd card... Though, in CWM, my files were definitely there, but the ROM could not see them.
I fixed this by flashing the amazing boeffla kernel and set the exfat module to ON in boeffla config 2 app. the files on the SD card were immediately visible. i did not have success with googy max 2 kernel, though... boeffla did the job.
i had also temasek ROM CM11 4.4.2 recently and the rom definitely supports exfat, you can use whatever kernel u want.

Thanks. Temasek's CM11 seems to be working fine for accessing my exFAT partitioned card. Is there a way to have Temasek auto-update, (I'm a fan of running the latest and greatest), or do I have to manually update it? I don't see an option for system updates.
no auto update, just manual

The latest doesnt always mean better. there is always experimenting involved and the new code can contain bugs. like for example a user has recently reported that he has a sudden battery drain on the newest V58 and did not have this behaviour on V57. or - someone else reported an unstable LED notification. i had this issue too. or - the newer ROM could be without a feature you liked. (halo was gone after several releases...).
you can read about newest experiences and findings here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m11-temaseks-unofficial-build-t2681344/page43
also, this was an old thread, you will find tons of valuable formation there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/cm11-temaseks-unofficial-build-v30-t1797109
this rom doesnt have an auto update, you have to use it this way:

i experienced problems while dirty flashing, i steped from V50 to V56 and the ROM was misbehaving. so from there on, i use cache / dalvik cache reset after EACH mentioned dirtyflashing step (rom flash, clean both, then gapps flash, clean both).
Hello all!
I've been trying several ROMs around (LLP ones) and I've having issues with Google Apps. Basically all packages (I always use nano/zero packages) are giving me the "not enough system space" error.
I've already flashed my phone, following the steps described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162. It IS repartitioned and formatted, but even tho, after flashing the ROM, I keep getting the "not enough space" message when flashing GAPPs.
The only GAPPs that will work is gapps-511-base-20150915-1-signed.zip but I have constant Google Play Services crashes with this package.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.
Did you confirm that your system partition was successfully re-partitioned to 1GB?
If you want a newer gapps package running on your device, the Open GApps arm 5.1 Pico will work fine for 90% of people regardless of whether you re-partitioned or not.

Hello! I've used the 6GB system partition. As far as I know, it should have worked, since my internal SD card has about 8GB free with system only installed. Odin log said the operation was OK. I used the I91001GB_6GB.pit file for the partitioning and Gustavo Kernel (CWM with TRIM). Is there any other way I can check the partition sizes?
I'll give Open GApps a try. Thanks.
