I don't know if this is sd card issue or what but many of the apps are not able to write data on phone. For e.g. whatsapp not able to download media, swiftkey not able to download language pack, chrome not able to download.
I flashed zv4 tot to restore all the partitions but still no luck.
This is only happening on ZV8 and not on ZV6 and ZV4.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

first, if possible, make a backup of anything that you want to keep on your computer from the internal card, then using the computer, format the internal card (fat 32) and see if that works

What I did was downloaded the selinux mode changer from play store and changed it to permissive. Few things have started to work now. But titanium backup still says space not available. I think it is trying to save backup on system memory and not internal sd card.
Everything seems to be sorted for now. Thanks a lot.

Where to find internal sd card permission?

For one reason or another, on the CM7 that has been released (this may change when the fix for the SDCard formatting comes out), some apps from the market display:
Error
Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD Card.
Apps Effected
Aldiko
Line Runner
Wordpress
Workaround
Go to Settings->Storage->Unmount SD Card
Once the SD Card Unmounted message is shown in you notifications, install the app
remount SD Card and Enjoy
Simple fix but I hope it helps
Also if you know of another app giving this error, please reply and I'll add it to the list so this workaround pops up in search results.
Unfortunatelly, doesn't work for apps like Evernote, which want to use sdcard partition and refuse to work without it.

I finally got around to installing the CM7 Alpha yesterday. There were several apps from the Amazon Appstore that would not install without the SD card being mounted (but then would not install because they were too large).
I took my Titanium Backup and opened the .tar.gz files in Ubuntu (there are two ... the one with the longer name) and was able to get the apks. Then I moved them to internal storage, unmounted the SD card, installed, remounted the SD card, and restored data from TiBu.

Not a matter of them being too large but their apks were set up to prefer sdcard installation.

An easier way is to set your TiBu preferences to install only to internal.

I'm pretty sure I tried that in the original build and it didnd't work
It's all fixed in the current build anyway though so no need to worry to much about it

I've had good results using this method. Until the revised Cm7 is released, I'll continue doing it this way. Just my experience.

Thanks so much for this thread! Aldiko was really the only major usage app I was missing in CM7. Works great now!
Another app this also fixes...Minecraft PE! SWEET!
The new-to-Android "Readability" app also is victim to this bug. The workaround is effective.
I flashed CF-Root 5.4 and the problem solved.
THANKS
great help. worked for me .
I desperately tried to install "lane splitter" on my sgs2 , ics, and failed.
un mounting sd card did it .

Partition
Not sure I'm posting in the right spot, but here goes. When I am in link2sd it shows SD card 2nd part not found, and it has at least 7 gb on it. The phone shows 9.72GB total & 8.27GB used,1.45GB free.... SD card (storage emulated) 9.70GB total and 8.27GB used, 1.43GB free. Kinda odd the internal and external are so close in used and free space.I installed SS and in the process it creates partitions. I didn't see any diff in the ROM I installed at the same time that was preloaded in the SS install. So I deleted the ROM but left SS hoping more ROM options will come later down the line. Then I find out I'm almost out of storage cause I get a warning in the notification bar and discover this huge empty space on my SD card. How do I unpartition the ext sd card or at least get access to all the unused space.
THANKS

If link2sd can't see the partition on the external sdcard, then possible the parition is corrupted. I would take the card out and use Gparted on your PC to fix the 2nd partion by deleted it then recreate with ext4.
Hey guys I'm having an issue with setting my sd card as my download directory, when I set it to external sd and try to download anything wether it be a picture or a document I get Message saying their is not enough space cannot finish download, now I thought it might be my sd card going bad so I went out and purchased a New one 64GB, old one was 32gb but I'm still getting the same message, I can set it to internal memory dl the file and then transfer it to my sd after just fine so I know now it's not an sd issue.
Anyone have a solution to this issue or advice on what I should try thanks
Btw I'm using boat browser if it matters

You could try the app SDFix by NextApp in the Play Store. It's free.

OP - Are you rooted?
KitKat has issues with access to microSD depending on what you are doing.
You will need to enable full access to SD.
Look in the root thread ot use Xposed with Tweakbox.

Yes I am rooted, All I'm trying to do is set the sd card as my dl directory, so files save to my sd card and not internal memory.
I have xpososed as well as tweak box already installed

boat browser is not a privileged app. It will not write everywhere on the sdcard with default kitkat privileges. you can change them manually or since you are rooted use an app like sdfix or an xposed module to do the change for you.

I have the same problem with the internal card. i can't download anything off of playstore anymore because it says insufficient memory. I am going to have to flash the stock b06 thing and start over. blows. Oh and there is like 12 gig available on the internal card and I dont see any other way around it. Maybe after refreshing I will be able to implement the newest root method and that will clear it up. Also I DON'T have a problem saving random objects to the samsung evo 64gb (omg you have to get one) because I did the kitkat fix and it worked fine.
Can i do it?, Did anyone tried it? in TWRP
Yes we need more internal but not without the access of the extra space (i bet google is working on it) but still does this work

You can as long as you are using the builds where adopted SD is working. If you are using Link2sd, trust me its not worth. Have done it already and went back to link2sd.

No you can't.
Either you can use it as internal through adopted sd card feature or you can partition it and use other similar apps.
If you do partition your card and insert it in a fully working marshmallow rom with adopted sd feature working, it will detect it as a corrupted sd card and will ask you to format it (and repartition it on its own).
I already have apps on my SD card that I had moved over in the past but any other apps I move now become corrupted and useless. I'm hoping that formating the card will fix this issue. Can I just copy all contents from the card over to my pc then copy them back on after the format? Should everything work correctly? I have 6gigs of spotify music and other big data files. Hope someone answers Thanks!

I'm on lollipop with klte root. Man I messed up. I transfered all the contents from my sd over to my pc to format it and when I switched everything back over the folders came up as all empty. And I can't seem to recreate a folder called .android_secure. My storage info shows that about 9gigs of space are being used on the sd but the folders show nothing. 6gigs were of pure spotify offline music. This is not a good day. Tons of pics were there too.

I have done the same. In MM was concerned that my SD data would be gone. Made the transfer to the PC of everything. After seeing what MM did to my SD, I formatted the SD again and transferred from the PC to the SD and all was fine. If you want that info back and it is still on the PC, then just do the same. In my case after the format, all was as before.
I lost everything on the card. Dammit. I want to just do a complete hard reset of my phone. If I do a backup with kies will I be able to add all my apps and settings back on my phone afterwards with a recovery of the backup?

I recommend using Kies and Another Backup Solution as I've had problems with Kies backups in the past, causing me to lose saved texts, contacts, memos, settings, etc.
I personally recommend using Helium backup from ClockworkMod, a quick search through google play should get it for ya.
Happy resetting! :3
EDIT: Just realized this thread is old... you've probably already reset the phone. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the date stamp..
It's almost scary that you would have responded to this thread right now. I am going through the exact same mess again. I tried applying a fix to make the external card detectable by other apps which were not detecting it. Well after doing that none of my apps or data on the card show up or work. The files are there if I explore root folder though. How do I regain the pathway to the card? Through my USB on pc it does not show the external but it does if I use sd card reader with the sd card by itself. Last time I copied everything from the card to my pc then formatted. It all became a senseless mess when I tried returning everything to the card. Lost everything. I tried backing up with kies before but it did not give option to backup sd card. Please help is an understatement. I just checked the sd card for errors using Windows tools but no errors popped up.

The reason for this occurrence (as well as how to fix it) depend on how the fix was applied.
Please describe the nature of the fix as specifically as you can. Things like where you found it, what it does, how you installed it, as well as if this is the same SD card, will help the most.
Edit: if you could also include the file system that's on the card that would be great too.
Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what the file system on the card would be but I've attached a screenshot of what I did. The name of the app is there.

Well I found the app in question in the play store, and was unable to track down exactly what it does, so we can't get anything out of that.
To get the file system that's on the card all you have to do is put it in a Windows PC and look at the drive properties.
At this point the best thing to do would be to back up everything on the card to a computer.
