I have the verizon lg g3, I was wondering how to make twrp use the ext. sd card by default? I changed it once to the ext sd card, but it went back to the internal storage. This is kind of anoying. Thanks

Two things:
When I wrote the image to my SD card to root my nook it changed the capaicty of it to only 39 MB. Is there a way to change that back to the 16 gb it was originally?
Second can I save apps from the market to the SD card or do they have to be saved on internal memory? If I can save them to the SD card is there a way to move apps already on the internal memory to the SD card or do I have to reinstall them?

You need to boot the Nook without the sd card in it, and then once it is on & ready put the sd card back into the nook, go to Settings, Device Info, SD Card, Unmount SD card, Format SD Card. It should now be it's original size.
Right now we are running on android 2.1 so it doesn't support apps on the sd card. Once it is upgraded to 2.2 you will be able to put apps on the sd card. If you want to do it right now you have to partition your sd card. I would say wait until 2.2 comes out officially
Ok, so i have my atrix. Now i dont really get this part.. when i use efile for instance or anything like it. I already had a mnt/sdcard with stuff on it before i even had a sd card. All i had was the internal memory the phone came with. Why is it under sd card?
So i have 2 folders
sdcard
and
sdcard-ext which is my new card i take it because there is nothing in it yet.
Question should i transfer everything to my actual sd card? like backup it all? any info on how to do this or if i should is a good idea. Should i keep my internal memory clean as possible? thanks.
the atrix treats the internal 16gb memory as an SD card hence the SD card name. Now to differentiate between the Internal and External the other is called SD-EXT. Basically what ever you place in the SD slot, be it 16gb 32gb etc, it will show as the SD ext. Where you palce your files is up to you. By default most Apps will use your SD folder instead of SD EXT (titanium backup for example)

So how would i go about transferring everything from my internal to my external sd card? Should i do it and can it be done? Or should i just leave it how it is? Plus for titanium backup should i backup my stuff on my external card for that or what? im kinda confused. ANy help would be appreciated. thanks

Well you can use your computer to move files if you place your phone in mass storage mode, or if you are rooted you can use a program like root explorer. The only things you should need to transfer would be backups of programs or music. everything else is fine on the internal storage. The only things I put on my actual sdcard are my music and documents. I would not worry about transferring anything, internal storage is really just as safe as an sdcard unless you brick your phone.
if i borrow my friends sd card to install a custom rom on my phone would i still need that sd card? or can i boot without it after the rom is installed?
no you will not need it because the OS is stored on the internal memory, you should consider getting an SD card
Hi,
I just updated from kitkat to MM. I have installed TWRP first and made a backup. After that, i could never see my sd card again in TWRP.
Now most of the apps can't find my sd card anymore.
Some do though. They can access the data, but then if you look for the card in the app it's not there.
Now I found out that this is the path to the SD card :
storage/9C33-6BBD
But some apps simply dont work with that path and say i have no sd card.
Solid explorer identifies it as the external sd card.
Why is that and what can I do about it?
Thanks
So i have this little question. If i install my sd card as internal storage can i then still flash custom roms? I was thinking maybe the sd card will think my phone is a different one if i install a custom rom?
Thanks
Good question.
I'm currently using my SD card as adopted storage in CM13 and TWRP is able to see files on the SD card just fine.
However, after flashing the ROM, I'm not sure if Android will pick up that the card is adopted storage and just pull in the apps, or if it will make you format the SD card. I would think that the latter would only apply after a wipe of /data, but hopefully someone can chime in with actual experience on the matter.
