Need help, I've been using appmanager for a while and it's worked fine. But now everytime I try to save to sd it says failed. Also, when I click to install from sd, it won't show me what's on the sd card. I tried using astro instead but when I try to backup the apps, it tells me that backup directory could not be created and to change the directory in preferences.

Was the phone plugged in USB and mounted?

Hello,
I have the stock CM 6.1.1 installed.
Yesterday after connecting the phone as usb drive, all my apps disappeared from the drawer and the icons on the homescreen aren't working anymore.
Do you know what this is and how to fix this?
Below a screen of the application menu.
Thanks,
shaab
Isn't it so that when connecting SD as USB storage the phone has to unmount sdcard and loses access to data on it. On USB drive disconnection phone should remount the card.
Have you tried a reboot?

Yes, it has to unmount / mount the card. I have access to the sd card from the file manager.
I rebootet and removed the sd but no change.

It's weird. Have you tried another app manager ? Have you check if they are still on your SD ?

If I click on an application in the system menu there is only a "move" button, but not a "move to ...".
When I click move it opens a window with "Move of the application failed. The application does not exist."

I think I found the problem.
I updated my Navigon maps from Q1 to Q3 with Navigon Fresh.
It seems that Fresh delete and replace the folder with the Apps...
I hope my Titanium Backup is not so long ago.
I'm at my wit's end trying to get my Cappy to mount on either my personal MB Pro or my work PC laptop via USB. AT&T store I went to yesterday suggested a warranty replacement, but I want everything in order first.
Is there any way to do a Titanium Backup (have the Pro version) & save that folder w/o being able to mount the phone to my computer? If they master clear to fix it I wanna be able to restore easily.
Are you on a custom rom, how are you trying to mount?
You can buy an external sd, and move the titanium backup to it
Running stock JH7 rooted. Tried Dropbox with Root Explorer but couldn't get it to work with multi select. Then zipped without realizing Dropbox didn't support that haha.
Edit: How do I move to an external SD card without being able to mount?

Put an SD card in the phone, run TIBU, use MyFiles to move or copy the TIBU folder to the external SD on the phone, remove the sd card from the phone, stick sd into computer of your choice and copy to computer.
There's no need to connect the phone to the computer directly as long as you have a computer that reads an sd card. For that matter there is no real need to copy them to the computer. When you get the new phone stick the sd card in the phone, copy TIBU folder back to internal sd card and restore.

Worked perfectly. Hadn't even ventured into My Files because I was always using Astro/Root Explorer. Ironically, My Files made it much easier to differentiate external SD b/c of a different icon...knowledge for next time. Everything's backed up, unrooted & ready for a warranty replacement conversation (2nd so far).
Hello. I have a HTC Hero with no phone service that I want to give my child for use as MP3 player, etc. I'm trying to figure out how to access the SD card to install a file manager and other apps.
Any assistance will be much appreciated.
When you plug it into usb, you should be able to drag down the notification menu and select mount as a usb drive.
oh yes of course. what i'm asking is seeing the contents of the sd card without it being plugged into the computer so i can install apps. i don't have a file manager on the phone. can the phone otherwise read the card?

Install ES Files Manager from the market, it'll let you browse the sd card.

Hey
I just flashed paranoid android last night and for some odd reason I cannot locate none of of my files on my ex SD card. I was told in cm9 they change the pathway to emn or something like that but that's no where to be found? I never formatted a thing when I flashed the from so very weird that its vanished. Under storage I see SD card down below and it says Mount SD card so but you can't click on it or anything so what has happened.
When I tried to do restore with TB it could not find my folder as it was installed on ex SD. Now in storage it shows USB storage right at the bottom and this is where my ex SD should be i imagine but underneath this is says mount SD card!
Any help would be great.
Thanx
I dont know about your issue with TB, but you can find your files using Astro File Manager.
Open Astro, click "Up" and mount emmc insted of SDcard.
Hope it helps.

I used to use astro and I now can see my SD card as u said....do u know if this is just a issue with cm9 as I liked using es exploror...
Is it best to just use astro as es is a root exploror.
Cheers

It's not an issue, CM mounts SD card as emmc only. you can disable root access option in ES and it will then just act as file explorer

iam confused jeetu! lol
i cannot find my external sd card in es exploror, so since CM mounts EX SD as emmc what do i need to do to display this? their is no emmc folder listed. now before i flashed this cm9 rom, ES folder could display my ex sd card fine.
So a root exploror and file exploror are the same then? should i just stick with astro as i can see my ex sd card under emmc.
my issue with this, was when i tried to restore my TB backup, i could not find my files as its backed up on my ex sd card. thats why iam irritated by it, or does that have nothing to do with it! lol

Can you check in setting> storage if you SD is mounted? Root explorer can do everything that a normal file explorer can do, it is just an advanced file explorer with root access. Just having root explorer is enough. Can you find SD in root explorer or some other file manager?
Edit- Got it, go to TB preferences and click "backup folder location" and then hit "detect" It will then detect your backup folder and then click "use current folder", that's it.
Hey
Yes in astro I can find that emmc file and all my files are present. Its just ES I don't see it at all or no option for me to enable it. I'll rather just have one root explorer.
In storage it lists my SD card and below it' it says mount SD' insert a SD card for mounting So I guess its unmounted?
I used backup pro for my apps but I really don't think it worked as well but if it gives me issues. I'll just have to delete apps again and maybe use TB

Yes, if your card is not mounted then obviously it's unmounted , re-insert your card and see if that helps, if not then you may have to format it. I have faced this issue several times after flashing custom roms (specially CM based)

Hello again,
I tried ES to see if i could help you and its basically the same as Astro. Click on favorites -> Phone Icon -> emmc. After that u'll find it in history.

Well, I may be new to this, but if he can see his external sd card and the files in Astro it must be mounted?
Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder&feature=search_result
go to mnt/emmc
Its there using root explorer.
And you can use icsbinder from playstore to bind it to sdcard/extsdcard
Just check first two options in icsbinder and reboot.

I'm having problems with the new sd card kitkat permissions, I have rooted my phone for that reason,I have applied the fix but nothing seems to make it work.
The sd card is readable, I am simply unable to write anything on it from my phone.
1. I am using a rooted device, no need to tell me a need a rooted phone.
2. I have used 2 different apps to modify the permissions file
3. platform.xml as been correctly modified
4. I am unable to copy files to the sd card from my computer when its in my Z1.
What is wrong with my phone and as this happened to anyone else ?
If you have 2 apps they may be causing conflicts
Please post a copy of your platform.xml
Here's a copy of my platform file.
That seems correct.
Try to create a file on your SD card using any explorer app that is not installed in system (i.e one you download from the play store)
If that works then the fix is working, it may be something to do with your PC
I can't create any files or any folder from ES file esplorer. I can't even create one fom file commander.

Try putting your sd card into your PC and seeing if you can create a file directly onto it that way
I'm able to create a file from a computer but only from an adapter, not directly in my phone.

I take it you mean that if you put your sdcard into a card reader or sdcard slot in our PC it works, but not when you are connectint the phone via usb cable
If so, what error does it give? Can you copy things off the card?

Yes I can copy things to my computer.
If I try to delete something off of it, it will act as if its deleted but when I remove it and plug it back its still there.
This is the exact same problem I have! Something happens to the cards as 1 out of 3 cards is perfectly fine but something you do with the phone ****s them up permanently I think.
