Hi there
I have a big problem with my phone,every time that i try to save a program on memory card i can't access the icon, it appear like corrupt and impossible
to find the program.I can access the program from my phone using the file explorer for example:
Memory card/program/ if i do it this ways it work's but not from the program section.
At the beginning i thought that was a problem with my memory card,so then i've bought another new one, Sandisk but i still have this problem!
Is it a problem of my device for example the slot of the memory card?
Does anyone had my same problem?
Please Help Me!
Can someone help me please!!!

I have never installed the program to microSD... I always install to device. I am not sure how you can fix your problem. I am sure someone on the board will know what's going on.

Hi tetsuokaneda,
Your problem was broken link between shortcut file and executable file of your application!
You can use File Explorer to:
- Delete some died shortcut in "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/".
- Go to "/Storage card/Programs/Your Applications" and make a shortcut from executable file again
- Move a new shortcut to "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" folder
You can check by press Start/Programs, if it shows the right icon it is possible to active. If not, you have to soft reset you device. Event, you must Hard Reset!
Lucky!

maybe this ROM you are using doesnt support installing programs to microSD. try flashing to a different rom and formatting your micro sd and see if it happens again.

I'm using ur same Rom!U don't have my same problem right???
After I Odin'd back to stock (eclair). I tried to reinstall packages and get-
E can't install sd/update.zip/ file not found
Aborting installation
I tried putting update.zip back on the sd but got the same thing.
Anyone know how to fix this?
HELP! PLEASE! I dont want to be stuck with stock!
Make sure you put on the update.zip on the internal storage (not the external).

Yes. It is. I removed external sd.
Hmmm...no idea then. Dumb question, but it is named "update.zip," and not "Update.zip," right?
As was stated before, make sure you are placing the file on the internal sd card. You also might consider redownloading the root file that you are attempting to use on the off chance that it is an issue with that file, even if you have previously used it.

Yes.
This is probably completely unrelated, but are you using Windows?
Yes. 7. 64bit
This is dumb, but turn on "view file extensions" or whatever in Windows and make sure that the file isn't named update.zip.zip. Almost certainly not the problem, but worth a shot just to check.
Hope you figure it out.

Not sure how to better ask than to state my intent. The added storage of internal nand (as /sdcard in most roms) isn't worth the trouble it creates with doing full migrations from one rom to the next so I'm thinking I want to edit scripts (init.d, fstab and what-not) so that the internal storage just isn't used and my sdcard is OR so that internal is mounted inside /sdcard as /int_temp or something like that.
What I want to know though is if anyone out there knows of a reason this would be inadvisable? In other words, is there anything I'm likely to break? Any reason I can't just shell in from recovery, set things up, and try it?
Also, to deal with apps that don't rely on the APIs correctly, I was thinking of mounting as both /sdcard and /sdcard2. Any reason that could cause trouble? Ideally I would also edit the rom so that properly written apps will always use SDcard over internal storage too.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
2012-03-06T20:08-0700: So far I've done no harm and by simply modifying /etc/vold.fstab to the following, I've swapped internal/external, but it's a complete swap so the rom now reports 29GB total phone storage and 10GB SD card storage. I'm guessing it's the ramdisk that contains the references that vold.fstab uses which define what's "phone" and what's "sdcard". I tried swapping single parts of vold.fstab entries and storage broke so it doesn't appear to be standalone in that sense (doesn't have the meta data to indicate what's phone and what's sdcard).
Code:
dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd 37 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2
I can work on it later this week. I think it can be done. I just need time to mess with it.
/sdcard/sd_ext
Thanks for the quick reply Con. Should it take much more than init.d and/or fstab changes? I have no doubt you're as/more busy with Android mods than I am with my other projects so I'd rather give this a go and hit you up with targeted questions than wait AND put it all on you. If you're cool with that, I'll give it a go right now while I'm between roms.

What about it? Depending on the rom, I've seen that as well as /sdcard2. I don't think that link needs to exist if I succeed with what I'm thinking.

Lol that exists already. Sdcard is really just emmc I think. It is needed for downloads and other system processes that would clog the sdcard. You can access the external card through sd_ext

Guess I wasn't clear enough. I know it's there, but /sdcard is internal storage (EMMC) and not sdcard which is what I'd prefer it to be. Also, /sdcard/sd_ext is irrelevant except that a ROM settings allows apps using the proper API to discover that the sdcard is mounted there (95% sure that's true anyway) and that's needed BECAUSE /sdcard isn't actually the sdcard. Pretty silly IMO.

If he did, he was mistaken. I do know of Twisted though I can't recall why at the moment. Also, adrynalyne most definitely knows of me (we've exchanged opinions on more than one occasion)
superchilpil, curious but does Tapatalk have an option to get rid of that sig it's adding to your posts? I've been thinking of adding support to my forums so I'm curious but the last time I tried to use it, it seemed like more trouble than just using a browser so I haven't explored it fully from the client-side.
See op-post for update.
Here is the file that I edited and use everytime I flash a new rom. It swaps SDcard and EMMC. What you have to do is copy the file in the RAR archive to the /etc folder and overwrite the one that is there. Just keep in mind that after you copy this file that the EMMC is not accessible with USB mount. I have not figured out how to do that exactly. Reboot after file overwrite.

The question ive asked many times before about this is: why does the internal ram have to be tied to the sdcard via ext_sd? Cant it be its own independent emmc folder or something?

Can you access the card with any other explorer? How is the card formatted? I've never had any problem browsing to /mnt/extSdCard (remember, case sensitive).

Odd. Do you even see extSdCard when you navigate to /mnt? I'm trying to understand when you get the error.
Are you running a custom kernel or ROM?

Here's another option.
Launch Root Explorer
Press Menu and then Preferences
Scroll down to the General Preferences section
Press External SD Path
Enter /mnt/extSdCard as the path and press OK
Once you back out of the preferences a tab should show up to the card now.

What I would do is open root explorer and hit back until it closes. Open root explorer again scroll to /mnt then you should see extsdcard

That worked perfect, Thanks. Now one more question. I have been trying to install a different color keyboard through Safestrap but they keep failing. Someone said to rename my keyboard apk to the new keyboard apk. Is this fairly easy to do? I guess the hard part is finding the correct apk's.

My phone is telling me I have a limit space so I go look at what is taking up space and it says just over 9 GBP of miscellaneous files, so when I look at it it shows one with 5.05 GBP of usage but it is labeled "0."

I am also wondering if I can delete CWM for now, as I don't plan on loading a new ROM, and if I do, I would would rather use TWRM

is it just one file or any folder of that name?
you may try to search the file by it's name using any file explorer.
It looks like it is the "0" directory, which is what Android uses for emulated SD card. "/storage/emulated/0"
If it is showing something different than what you actually have in your internal emulated SD card, you may have to do a factory reset.

I have found the file within the system, and it essentially put all of the old stuff from when I was running CM 10.1 into it and then put it into the emulated directory.
Just if you're not yet's solved you problem

Hello !
i'm new to xda
I've got that problem before
It happens when you swap SDs (i.e:extSdCard==>sdcard) & delete a file
so the free space still becoming smaller until it becoms 0
the solution is to RE.Swap the SDs
it may not work for you !

I mean by ''reswap'' is to remove that script from init.d ''11extsd2intsd''

but i can't publish that script (the main devlopper is telling us to don't publish it if it was tweaked)
Sorry, if it doesn't work for you !
