How long does your phone take to do error scans and media scans with a 32GB class 10 SD card?
Mine takes at least 15 mins! Seems really slow! And it drains my battery a lot while doing it.

It depends on how much you have on your SD card and the SD card speed.

Use the rom toolbox lite (or pro) and under performance tab use the SD Booster , and set to 2048kb, this might help a little. App found in market.

Your card may be failing. My wifes has been failing for months and it takes a long time to finish scanning. Mine is failing now too.
Word of warning. Do not buy this card:

I dissabled sdcard media scan but before that, scan was done from 1 to 2 minutes.

How dissabled sdcard media scan?
Okay, now I'm worried, turns out its not the SD card, it's the internal storage. I have removed the SD card and since rebooting, its taken about 20 mins to scan the internal storage and the phone has been pretty hot while doing this. What could be wrong? I hope this phone isn't failing!
Sent from my LG-P768 using xda app-developers app
Try to remove all personal stuff and backup your apps and try a hard resets.DON'T DO A HARD RESET IF YOU REMOVED ANY BLOTWARE! First restore all system apps you may have removed, hopefully formatting the internal storage will fix it.
Another thing (Not sure if it's default have to recheck, or someone verify) I noticed that the kernel has vm swappiness set at 60%. This could be a reason for the internal sd going out. Maybe I'm wrong hum

Media scan dissabling
Open terminal emulator or run adb shell, then type:
Code:
1. su
2. pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
then exit terminal emulator/adb shell
After that, boot into CWM and 'fix permissions'
Root and CWM needed

Disabling this doesn't have any long term negative effects on the phone and or performance does it? Did this to my L9 along with the internal to external SD swap flash and phone seems to be working better Boot up times are much shorter and smooth.
sounds great! I didn't do that but I did overclock and undervolt my phone.Then with partitioning my sd card I use link2sd was able to move apps to sd. Then used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware. Phone is faster, smooth, and crisp when moving thru apps. Overclocked to 1.2!

I have mi L9 for a few months and first the scanning was fast, but after I reached the capacity limit it started to take a lot of time to scan, so I think it's normal if you have a lot of apps installed like i do xD

Hi Nathan,
You seem to have successfully apply some mods on your P769. Can you help me do that with my P769 on V20D if you have on the same stock ROM.
I was trying to overclock and undervolt it and I was getting a Exec format error running the overclock script that I found on another thread. That is after copying the .ko files in /system/lib/modules.
If you are on V20D can you provide some instructions and where you got the script? Would greatly appreciate it.
I wanted to see if there would be improvement xbmc on it once i overclocked it to 1.2. There is a audio lag when I tried it the first time.
May I also ask how did you partition your sd card for LInk2SD?
I have a 64 GB class 10 sd card which I partitioned to FAT32 and even formatted it using my phone. Then I had it swapped with my internal using a script I found on a thread here.
That worked but my problem is running Titanium Backup and doing a full backup on the swapped external as the new internal storage is giving me an insufficient free storage space error even though I have plenty of space on the sdcard (/storage/sdcard0) and around 1 GB of space on the /storage/external_sd (which is the old internal storage)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sure man I'd be delighted to help. Here is the script I used to overclock but I did some tweaking on the voltage until I found the right ones that wouldnt freeze my phone which are 850/900/950/1050 volts. Here is thelink http://artasnotebook.you2.pl/?page_id=16 (please backup your ROM before doing anything)
I used this to partition and use link2sd http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/
And really I only use titanium backup to delete bloatware. I use cwm 1.5 for jb to backup my ROM. Yes I'm on 76920d.

Good luck!

Everything works fine. i don't have any problem with disabled media scanning. Performance? I don't know but think it's better. My SD Class10 is faster than internal memory.
I disabled it with Android Tweaker. New photos still immediately show in gallery and QuickPic, PowerAmp has its own scanner, so i encountered no probs so far...
With this service disabled image folders on the SD-card do not show up in the gallery. I had to re-enable the service.
I am running Wind Mobile 21D.
I use snap camera gallery and nexmusic player and it reconoce automatically my new music and pictures everything working good and a faster boot

Hi,
how to use the external memory for instalation of app and games?

S3 is designed to treat the memory as one unit, when internal is full it will start to use external.

Are you sure? The last time my internal SD card was full and the phone was not installing the apps stating that the device is low on the memory. If it is designed to be able to use internal first and external afterwards then why it did not use it in may case. Is there any setting or anything to turn on this feature?
It's how the nexus works and how the s3 works.

Root and use DirectoryBind.
It's more technical, but it gets most of the job done, especially those huge games from Gameloft.
So before I try another method and possibly break something else does anyone know if Directory Bind actually works?
You have 16 of storage on the phone itself. Why would you need to move apps to the SD card anymore? I could see back in the days when you only had 1GB or less, but now there really is no need for it.

Free up some space (move a Gameloft game folder from /sdcard/Android/data/ to /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data), install Directory Bind, then use it to bind both folders.

Can't believe you asked this man...
If you're rooted, run the following on Terminal Emulator
(you may want to reate a GScript link and e.g. an autostart entry so that it's easier to use)
Preparation:
* Terminate the app
* Copy/move the folder you want to transfer from the internal to the external SD
* Create a new folder on the internal SD with exactly the same name
Execution (run in Terminal Emulator / GScript)
Code:
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/YOURFOLDER /mnt/sdcard/YOURFOLDER
Note: This does not survive reboots, you'll need to execute or automatically execute the 'Execution' part on each boot.
This setup can be repeated endlessly for all folders you want.

The link2sd is not able to work on CM9. well.
Using LINK2SD is because I would like to tranasfer dex to the SD card, so I can install more than 50 apps.
What I was trying:
Transfering Dexfrom APPs to SD-ext by LINK2SD. Every thing works great, I transfered all Dex to SD by link2sd and I have about 50M internal memory free.
Then I reboot the phone, it is showing before asking the PIN:
Android is upgrading ...
-------------------------------
O Optimizing application x of xx
after all xx applications (Which I have moved dex to SD-EXT) done. it shows:
Android is upgrading ...
-------------------------------
O Starting applications.
After boot up, the internal memory shows only 6M free. and some applications has been moved to internal from SD-ext.
Tried to release by uninstall some app. after reboot, the rest SD-ext application will move to internal one by one untill all of them.
What I can do is move them to SD card by native APP2SD. which makes the number of installed applications is less than 50.
quesion is: how to disable this Optimizing? or any better way to move every thing to SD or SD-ext other than link2sd?
What do you do with more apps and internal memory? Or as my friend said that he never need so much apps since he flashs his phone every two weeks anyway...

Seems it doesnt work on my CM9. Just come to report my status.
I am using EXT4. The system-boot will move everything back to internal, and after bootup and the S2E started. it will move everything to EXT which takes a 15 min bootup. and after about 10 time repeating this, the phone crashed. 70% user data was gone. like wifi connections, most apps. some are left. didnt do any research on that, just restored to a backup and using native APP2SD now.
If it doesnt work, dont try to make it work then... you will just start to ruin your time and data on the way..

Good morning,
I have a few questions and also ran into a few problems. I have an ext sdcard 32gb I can't remove apps over to it I can move over music but not apps. Also if I use the aps2sd program to transfer the aps over to the 9gb of internal memory my phone runs like crap after wards for instance it takes sense almost 30 seconds to restart if I transfer all the apps back to phone it works good. Any suggestions

If you have root or an unlocked bootloader, you can swap the mount points.

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

I would like to leave warning to avoid moving/linking..
Play Store, Google Play Services, System Apps and any file manager you have.
Why you may ask?
Google Play Reason:
Cuz "heaven forbid" something happens to your SD card, you would lose access to Google Play and won't be able to download apps.
System App reason:
Well if you lose an system app you won't be able to Factory Reset.
File Manager Reason:
Well if you lose your file manager you of course won't be able to browse files.
And won't be able to download another if you lost Google Play.

Great suggestions! I got all of those linked on my card but I make damn sure I have everything backed up twice! I don't do a lot of really fancy stuff so it seems to be working just fine but for the people who are flashing ROMs take heed.

I'm confused about this last image (can't link to it because I'm new here) - I've been unsuccessfully trying to partition a 32GB card for days now, literally scouring this forum and others, and I've tried so many things on it - wiping, partitioning, deleting and creating new partitions, formatting - I really think the card itself is probably ruined, and that might be my main problem. So I bought a new 16GB SD card, SanDisk, I think class 4 (clerk told me that as I was paying, don't see anything on the package indicating what class it is), and I don't want to mess this up. I paid a guy to root my phone, and using Root Browser I see a list of folders and files, one of which is mnt, then subfolder sdcard, then subfolder external_SD pathway. If that what I should be seeing to begin with?
I do understand that the SDcard folder is not my SD card - it's actually part of the internal memory.
My confusion about your image is that when I look at Link2SD storage info I see "internal 73% free", "SD Card 73% free", "ext. SD 99% free", and "SD Card 2nd part. not mounted" - below that I see system 28% free and cache 97% free. Your image shows only 3 things. I notice that my "internal" and "SD card" show exactly the same numbers.
If you folks think what I'm seeing is normal, aside from the "not mounted," (I get that, it isn't mounting and I want to try a new card), I plan to start at the top of your instructions, use MiniTool Partition (which I've been using all along), partition my new card FAT32 12GB and second partition ext 3 (because I'm running android 4.1.2 and in these instructions it says to use ext3) 4GB. I have one large app (ibird pro) that I hope to link to the SD, which is why I chose 4GB for the second partition.
Can anyone see anything wrong here so far? I guess I'm looking for someone with my phone like TheCoutures who has done this process and has it working for confirmation that I'm not off base before I even start with this file structure and/or my plans for the partitioning sizes etc.
Thanks - and btw I thought the noob video was really funny and very well done, thoroughly enjoyed watching it
In case it doesn't show up my phone is an LG Optimus L9, T-mobile, android 4.1.2.
This is on my linked2sd. You are just fine with respect to the memory sections. Read from the beginning and you should be just fine. My card is 16mb and I partitioned it right down three middle. Try to mount or partition using cwm if you are more comfortable with that.

So "Google Chrome" and "Amazon" for example are marked as system apps but they are non-critical to system operation (I am assuming). Are you saying that if I uninstall these apps I won't be able to do a factory restore?

use SD boost to increase cache size at boot time? I tried 2048 and 4096 KB and no improvement is seen with SD scanning.
I have the same issue on my P768, im using a stock based rom, jelly cream rc3 which is a modded v20a and my 32gb card isnt partitioned. It can take up to 20 mins or longer to scan my SD. I wish there was a working CM rom for the P768. I cant do without the camera!

I think I found a solution. I disable "media storage" with "startup manager" app. Now no more scanning at boot up. For some reason, "media storage" is not showing up when I use "rom toolbox lite"'s startup task manager.
i had same problem after upgrading to JB. it would take what seemed like forever. i saved sd card data to pc, deleted folders i wasnt using and some created by other phones. reformatted sd card and re-transferred data. now it scans fairly fast.
If u have root:
1. Download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot
2. Open the app
3. Disable the scan before the scan ends
4. Reboot

Wait, so I download this, reboot. Wait until it starts to scan my files, open the app, press disable scanner, then reboot again?
Put a .NOMEDIA file in all folders other than those meant for media . Note the filename of .NOMEDIA in UPPERCASE. That could help.

It does work. I have tried Rescan Media ROOT before but it didn't work because I disable scanner when the phone was not scanning. Disable scanner during scan seems to be the key.
