Hey all,
I recently fresh installed android 4.3 and i love it.
just some small issues like gallery being terribly slow.
fixed that by installing quickpic.
further than that no lags!
One slightly bigger issue. ...
my internal sd was renamed i guess... file like pictures where not showing in gallery and such.
i went looking for them with es file explorer and found them on device memory.
so you would say problem fixed....
only when i go into recovery and try to install from internal sd, the newly renamed internal memory is not showing but yhe old one...
is there a fix for this?
Maybe the gallery is so slow because of the mixedup memory???
Hope i make some sense.
If there isnt a fix i will have to try to do a new install but format internal sd first.
hope someone knowes a way to fix this a easier way
thanx in advance.
Not sure what you are saying but suggest you read the stickied faqs and guides first,
Storage post for one .
Fixed! For everyone who has the same problem:
Just move everything from "old'' sd card to the new 0sdcard exept 0, legacy and obb.
Cant find the link anymore where i have read this... will post and give credit to the person who wrote it when i do.
This post! Credits to ROOTSU for the helpful post!

I'm not able to get the Internal SD card to mount after installing the pre-beta cyanogenmod 7. Is there some setting I'm missing or something that I need to do in particular?
Prior to install I was on the alien build and everything worked fine. Now when I go to the root directory using RootExplorer it says 'the sd card is not currently mounted'.
I've had my atrix for a while and i'm not a complete noob, just not an avid poster. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I have checked the storage menu and i do have 1.17GB of free space.
It can be found under /mnt/emmc. Unfortunately, I have to inform you for future reference that this is the wrong forum for such a question. Q and A exists for a reason, but I hope I helped.
Please post in the correct sections. Thread moved.

Thanks for the help. I found that but how do I get, for example, Rom Manager or other applications to recognize that location?
Mr Clown, My apologies for posting in the wrong section.

+1 wondering the same
i would also like to know, as i have only a class 1 microsd card and it creates wakeup lag. if i take it out, there is no wakeup lag but my phone wont recognize the internal storage.
I think it varies by application. Some will let you browse there and set it as a default directory for things, but many will not. I have just gotten used to having duplicates of random stuff for now :S I think it is pretty unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Maybe someone will develop something like this:

That's for the Nook, but I can't see why someone couldn't do that for the Atrix. However, I would imagine it won't be our own CM7 team because their task is to port CM7, and thus they are following the CM standards.
I have this problem too, i dont hae a external SD Card
im used to the internal 16 gb as my memory
now iwth CM7 , the phone is lost, browsr wont download, titanium wont find the sd card, nothing is working
so is an EXTERNAL sd card a pre-requisite for CM7, i never knew this..
and if so, what does CM7 do with the huge internal memory if it saves everything to the external (atleast thats where apps see it)

Hey Trind,
In your post, you stated that you were following instructions on how to install this file....
Do you remember the website you were at?
I am having same problem.... Sort of...
i have a 16GB sd card that is completely useless. Because everything i download, install, or save gets put on the internal memory. Now, internal is full and sd card is all but empty...
Thanks for any info you can give me...
Hi,
another forum recommended I register and ask my question here. I am not a techie. I don't know what I'm doing. This is probably a basic question, but with all the googling I've done, I can't find the answer!
Here goes, and please be easy on me:laugh:
My GS3 was running really slow, running down the battery, just in general not running as well as I remembered from a year before buying it. I decided to back it up, reset it and start from scratch. The phone has run AWESOME! One problem though; when it updated, it installed 4.3. Ever since, I can't do anything with my SD card. I get an error that the SD card is full, and if I look in the settings, it shows zero space on the SD card. If I plug it into my mac, it shows like 12gb of space.
I used to use Android File Transfer and that doesn't work anymore. I recently tried Airdroid, which works great for the internal storage, but tells me that my SD card is full.
Help!
PS I tried to post a link to a screenshot of what storage on my phone looks like, but since I'm a noob, I'm not allowed
When you upgrade to android 4.3 it will change your storage partition from sdcard0 to emulated/0 ... simply it will change its partition so all your old files will not be visible there but they are still in your memory... I suggest you find your old files and move them to new directory... There are many threads on how to find your old files.. Search

Sorry for the double post. I just realized, I should have posted this in this section. Mods can delete the other if needed.
Thanks

Download the sd formatting tool and use it on your pc to format your extremal sd card.
If you meant your internal storage the go read the sticky thread in general, about the changes 4.3 makes.

Need a bit of help here, have an mtk6572 no mark phone on 4.2, works perfectly. Changed rom to an also 4.2 which runs a lot quicker and is themed etc...
All is good except the sd card, android system sees it, root explorer sees it, gallery sees it, gramaphone sees it but...
camera doesnt, osmand maps doesnt, browser doesnt, swiftkey doesnt etc. CWM and windows see it and can format it so have done that in fat/fat32/ntfs as well as mounting before booting but still the same thing happens. Restore my old backup and all is back to normal. Have checked the new rom updater-script and I have the mounts correct number wise, same as the working rom and now I'm all out of ideas
Any ideas guys?
Thanks.
Can upload both the old (working) updater-script and the new (non-working) one if someone can have a look over and see if I have made a mistake?
The vold.fstab was probably changed to swap internal and external storage. Some apps work with it, some don't. I'd check the post where you got the rom for and see if that is one of the features.

It doesnt mention that, and its quite an old post which seems a bit dead
Is there anything I can do to solve this on my own, as such?

Righto, I switched the sdcard0 and 1 around in the vold file and it switched them around, larger internal from the sd and the old internal as sd, so I had a 2gb 'sd card' as was expected but still..... all apps were asking for an sd card as it was before
I've uploaded the two updater scripts incase anyone can give me a hand with them, see the massive mistake I cant for example...
Could it be the nonworkingrom seems to not mount data?
Thanks anyway.
