Previously, I was running Illusion ROM, and there was a persistent problem that was really bothering me. The music app that I use (Doubletwist) had always given me the choice to switch music storage location to the external SD, but with Illusion, it doesnt give me the option. It seems that all AOSP roms do the same thing because now I am running paranoid android and still cant solve the problem, but if I go to a non-AOSP, the problem is fixed. Of course, PA is the rom i want to stay on.
Ive attached two pictures of the root explorer /mnt and /storage from both the stock rom and the PA rom, if that helps.
Is it that this app only recognizes a certain folder name, whatever the stock rom had named the folder? And if so, how do I go about fixing this so the SD card is recognized. Help would be greatly appreciated because im angry at myself for having to ask for help :|

Am i doing something stupid, I cant get the mp3's I have on my SD card to be seen in the Albums/Artists etc in the stock music player app.
I can see no option to "add" them into it.
They exist on the external SD card.
Not had this issue before.. anyone got any ideas?
Try to copy the files to your pc - and then format thd sd-card when it is in the phone. Copy the files back on the sd-card.
I have a similar problem on my SGS, and this method was the solution.

My first issue with Galaxy S II. Will have to try this, my 15GB of music on external sd is not recognised
Still, anybody found out why this is happening in the first place? The only thing I remember doing that had anything to do with sdcard was installing Multi Mount SD-Card widget in hopes that it would give me quick access to mounting sdcard as mass storage. Didn't work though, uninstalled it and now music not recognised. I can see it in file manager no problem,it's just media store that is not finding anything on external sd card
Thanks for any tips.
I should have replied back.
Doing exactly the recommended worked a treat.
Now any new files i add to the SD card work fine. It's odd why it didnt work from day one though, but it works now!

I think the only plausible reason for this issue may be the file system that the ROM uses. After each time you change the ROM, try to make sure that you format the SD card to avoid problems like this in the future.
If it isn't about the file system, then I don't know, maybe the problem could be caused by the ROM itself, since it's "home-made", or some damaged components in the device. Anyway, I got this problem too and I have an original ROM, so I'll just try the formatting method.
same problem think it is different reason

I'm having a same issue here but noticed it involved more than this and it happened at a certain app install. Hope someone here will recognize something in this post and help me not have to re-install my entire stock ruu, starting over.
The stock music player quit finding the mp3's on ext_sd card. First noticed this, but the stock gallery will not find photos as well.
I used Twrp to do a factory reset and was installing files again (most of my favorite apk's are stored on ext_sd card) and had to start with ES File Manager. When I went to setup ES File Manager up it will also not log into my network! So, after a factory reset these three things are happening and all of this started after loading Sterickson's permission fixer. The one on the app store that has the badly drawn cd image as app icon. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go back to the stock rom install to fix what his permission fixer trashed?

Hi Peeps!!!
Seriously need help. after reading all sort of guide in here. i still really cant find any similar case like mine. or maybe i am still noob in rooting.
first time rooting my S2 and right now
my baseband version: I9100DXKL1
Kernal Version: 3.0.15-CM-ga77f0f1
Build number:IMM76I
Mod version is resurrection remix ICS v1.8.1
ICS 4.0.4
Previously was android 2.3.6 gingerbread version.
Problem is when now my phone cant detect my micro sd card.
Believe that i put the resurrection remix file into my mirco sd card.
then i zip from mirco sd card.
did some rectification by formating my SD card. - no use
re flash a new rom - no use
use odin to flash - more worse. cant boot up.
then install ressurrection rom back.
Can anyone help me step by step what are the things i need to do?
really super confused right now. because of this i lose all my pictures and information on my internal memory from my phone. so sad...
Any kind soul please help! struggling for 2 nights already. cant seem to solve the problem.
Thank you in advance for those who render help!!!
You're probably looking in the wrong place. You should be looking in /mnt/emmc/
Yes it's a known issue on AOKP ROMs. The External SD Card is not shown in External_SD it is now in /mnt/emmc. You can link External_sd to emmc again with a apk but then the mass storage is not going to work. I also tried resurection rom and had this issue. Is't your option live with this or get on another ROM!
flash a diff rom if ya face prblm,every rom has its own advatage an disadvantage.....so read the roms page on wat it offers u....an select....
Registered to post this. I had the same issue. Here's a solution that works for me and may work for others:
in terminal editor:
Code:
$ su
# mount /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
This is a quick hack that must be done any time you want to access your external sdcard through external_sd. It gets reset on a reboot. A better option might be to put it in fstab (if it exists, I can't seem to find one) or in an init.d script to run at boot. This mounts emmc as a loopback on external_sd and doesn't seem to break mass storage or anything else, at least I haven't found anything yet, though I stand to be corrected. As I said, it's a bit of a hack...
EDIT: I'm on Resurrection Remix 1.9.1, but it should work with any Resurrection as long as busybox is installed.
Hello,
I am very to flashing of ROM's on my Galaxy S3 so im still learning about things (so pretty much im a rookie)
As in the subject line, i have the latest UltimaROM v5.0.2 installed on S3 and its working perfectly and its rock stable. Really happy with it.
However I do have a quick question regarding extSDcard.
The phone somehow reads my extSDcard as an internalSD card and vice versa for the internalSD card.
In the camera when i have extSDcard (which is internal SD card) chose as the storage, the camera app FC.
While installing the ROM i did select the HyperMOD for the camera and i didn't select the option of Internal2External SD Script option.
Can anyone explain why this is happening and also how maybe i can i have the storage the normal way perhaps?
Thanks guys.

I don't know what this rom is based on but if it's Samsung based you can try to take the vold.conf and vold.fstab file from a stock rom and put it with root explorer in folder etc.

Try selecting the internal SD card instead

Thanks guys.
I just reflashed the ROM again since i wanted to try different mods and this time around i made sure i didn't chose the interna2external sd card option.
things are the way they were before.
thanks for all your help.
Hi,
i have no Problems with stock Rom, but in all 4.3 ROMs especially in PA 3.99 RC2, the Android system doesn't mount the sdcard0.
Does anyone know why?

try to clear cache from your recovery or else reset to factory defaults, this trick worked for my wi-fi issues
hi,
i already tried that
this also happens on every other 4.3 ROM to me with and without jbx kernel
Got The same problem. Gallery and camera wont let me in

I think this is an issue on all 4.3 ROMs, I have the same problem on Carbon 4.3.
thanks for the replies, then all 4.3 ROMs are just unusable
strange that noone complained about that in the DEV forums

This is not true.. Every 4.3 rom i have flashed has had storage1/storage0. My micro sd card is where i keep my mp3 music i listen to via player pro. Sd is where my custom ringtones i created are stored along with pics, etc. Works great. Listen, sometimes going back to the beginning and starting over with stock firmware flash is needed as these memory slots can get corrupted. I use titanium back up for any/all apps/data with out these issues. Or simply go back to stock and copy what u dont want to lose to your micro sd (root explorer) is great or simply plug phone into computer and create a new folder on desk top for your keeps. After copy, format sd storage (pull micro sd card first) or simply copy nothing to micro sd only to computer and format both sd/micro sd. (Recomend) Would for sure do factory reset, if using ss uninstall and start fresh. This is not a guaranteed solution, only a suggestion.. Seems to have worked just fine for me more than once.. And others with similar issue.

I have the same problem - only 1.28 GB of internal storage is seen by phone, even though it shows 13+ GB when connected to the PC.
is there anything that may help, (other then formatting everything) ?
I have already wiped cache/dalvic cache and mounted sdcard0 and sdcard1 in the CWM Recovery - didn't make any difference.
Code:
I have an issue with stuff on the "internal storage" portion, usually simlinked to "/sdcard/" or something like this, disappearing when in a new OS I recently flashed.
I was on ViperDNA rom and had lot's of stuff on the internal storage. I switched to the new CM10.2 stable (ok, maybe not new, but new to me), and now the "internal storage" is completely different. None of the stuff I had there previously is there anymore. I know I didn't tell CWM (touch version 6.0.4.6) to format internal storage or any sort of format that would delete the internet storage, and when "searching the SD card" for a rom to flash, it still let's me browse my old "sdcard" that has all the previous files that I had access to, but now, in two different roms, a stock one and the CM10.2 stable, It only shows the "new" sd card contents. I've tried several different file browsers, root browsers, searching for any trace of the old SD Card contents, which I know are still present due to the fact that I can still see them in Recovery, but I just can't find it.
I really need to get several of the files out of there. Any ideas?
Sorry if I haven't given enough/the right info. Let me know if more info is needed.
Ended up using ADB Pull /sdcard/ to get it all. Thanks though!
It's still there, so no worries. I'm not on kitkat but your old stuff is under mnt/sdcard/emulated..or something like that. Your new folder is 0

I'm only on jelly bean 4.3. That's what 10.2 is. Or, even the latest OTA from verizon, no matter what, my data isn't accessible from a computer or from within the android OS.
Only time I even see that the files still exist is in the recovery, and Idk how to get them from there :/
