So I am going to unlock my bootloader and flash a custom rom.
I was just wondering whether or not i need at external sd card present to flash and use a rom.
And also i know that in CM7, it switches the around the internal and external sd card.
If I were to flash CM7, would I mess up my phone if I flashed it w/out an external sd card?
So, in summary I have 2 questions:
1) Do I need an external sd card to flash and use a rom(other than CM7)?
2) Do I need an external sd card to flash and use CM7?

1) No
2) No
Just put the flashable.zip on the root of your /sdcard.
As soon as you flash the CM7 Rom and login to you Google Account... before you install any apps, go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Applications -> Use Internal Storage
THANKS!
OK Thanks!
Hello all,
So I upgraded the phone to ICS 4.0.3 and it seems I cannot find an option to encrypt phone under settings > security.
What I have found is this:
If i connect to pc through usb I need to enter my screen password in order to be able to read the SD Card.
BUT, when I remove the sd card and enter it to an external card reader ALL data are available.
Is there no option to fully encrypt the SD Card in ICS?
What the heck?

Need help for experts .

I'm a custom ROM on Android 4.2.2 and used the Settings > Privacy > Encrypt phone feature. What exactly did this do, did the encrypt the internal SD card, the external SD card, the entire filesystem (i.e. root of filesystem), or some combination?
If it didn't encrypt my external SD card, how can I do so? But if it did, how can I access the contents of my external SD card (after providing my PIN/password) from a laptop when I put the SD card in it? Would I just mount it like I do any other encrypted USB drive with LUKS?
If not, then isn't it risky because if my phone gets broken and I must start from a new ROM, then I've lost my most recent data (backups could be a few days old). Or lets's say someone flashes a new ROM, the new ROM wouldn't be able to read the card, or would it be able to if you use the same PIN/password?

Encrypted internal /storage/sdcard0 cannot be read after installing new ROM while using same password, just checked.

I Need to disable the external SD card on tablet android 4.2, how?
I don't want anyone who inserts any SD card to be able to copy files from my tablet to this external SD card ( I have 3 software pre-installed on the tablet thru which they can copy files) is there a way not to let SDCard1 be shown??
Any way to do this?? Thank you in advance
