I'm running Fresh Toast 2.1 on my Hero CDMA, and I was able to view pictures and videos until I moved them with a file explorer (ES File Explorer and Astro). The pictures will display when I take a new camera shot, but the files already on the SD card are not showing up. The Fresh Toast 2.1 comes with apps2sd. I believe things will get very screwy if I unmount the SD card, and the solution to this problem I believe is to remount the SD card so it repopulates the Album list.
My question is, what is the procedure to unmount and remount the SD card with apps2SD safely (safety over time priority) OR is there a solution out there already. I have been browsing around in the Android section and the Hero section unsuccessfully. Let me know if there's a way to fix this other than bluetoothing all my pictures to myself from an old phone.
( Sorry if this was answered already. I will continue to search the forums for an answer and will delete this if I find one. )
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have Cyanogen ROM 4.2.5 installed with auto app2sd set up but I've become a little confused. I have a root file manager and am able to see where my apps are going, but where are the files for my apps being installed? I have Aldiko, but I cannot find where it is downloading the e-books to.
Pre-app2sd they were downloaded to /sdcard/, but now as far as I can tell no apps download any files to the main SD card partition. I assume they are all going to the ext partition. Can anyone help me out here?
Also, the gallery isn't working (in the sense that it never has pictures in it, and it cant find pictures). I think this might be related to the problem I'm having with themes (When I install theme's they never install the wallpapers), which might have all been caused by my app2sd installation.
Anyone have any ideas?
When I set up app2sd I used Amon-Ra Recovery v1.3.2. I partitioned the drive, established an ext3 partition, then reflashed Cyanogen's 4.2.5 ROM. Following that I put on the Minus Theme.
Thanks in advance. Hopefully I didnt do something completely retarded. (and yes I used the search tool first)
The ebooks may be in a separate folder on the sd card. updates to the program may change the directory
Maybe there is something wrong with the SDcard itself. it is possible it did not partition correctly. If so, back up all the data on the SD + Ext and repartition
Hi guys,
I am a noob at android and rooting.
However, I successfully rooted my N1 last night and flashed it with Cyanogen 5.0.5.3.
Everything worked well until I started using the camera. I took the photos and it stored in the gallery under "Camera".
However, when I mounted my SD card to my computer, there was no DCIM/Camera folder.
I unmounted, went back into the gallery and it was gone.
I ended up formatting my SD card as I didnt mind losing everything.
I had apps2sd checked. When I went to marketplace the apps already said "installed". I reinstalled/downloaded everything. The SD card is a mess now.
For example, twidroid folder went missing so no display pictures show up. I uninstalled/reinstalled it and then it worked, however after mounting it no twidroid folder was created, I unmounted and then twidroid display pictures were gone.
I formatted my SD card again now. Want to start fresh...
Now when I go to manage my applications I have things like
"android.tether"
"com.adobe.psmobile"
"come.android.googlesearch"
etc. I want all of this gone, want to start over and want my camera/gallery to start working again.
Sorry for the long post but any help is greatly appreciated!
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Update. Ok I formatted the SD card from settings. No longer have Apps2SD.
Now I just want to delete the applications from the application manager.
Things such as "android.tether" etc as mentioned above.
Is there any way I can use Apps2SD without it messed up the camera folders, etc?
Thanks.
I use apps2sd and the camera works correctly.
tether and googlesearch are system apps and you won't be able to remove them through the application manager, it has to be done through terminal or adb but why would you want to remove them?
It sounds like you might have messed up the partitions? how large is your sd card and how big did you make the ext2/3 partition and what fomat are you using ext2 or 3?
GTP1000 Rooted I'm using Install Manager, Android Assistant, Quick application Manager and Root explorer to shift all my application from the phone to the SD card unfortunately I figured out that I have only 200 MB remaining in my phone memory ! Only 4 programs installed on there as per of the previouse listed applications and the remaining on the SD card as it shows I start searching to figure out the problem using root explorer I found the root
Phone Memory/mnt/asec/secure/asec - 990 MB so I tried to move it to the SD card but once moved it will return back again to the same path!! Even if I tried to delete it will remain the same! also I found another root phone/mnt/asec -670 MB which has almost the same applications by all means using root explorer I cut& paste the first root to the SD card and reboot then only the installed programs in phone works and the other application icons disappeared I was shocked cause even trying to backup my mistake was a hectic work, by all means its again as it was and still facing the same problem any help
Solution
After fed up of finding any solution I start clear all the programs data manually at least to preserve some space and while clearing my phone explorer application data I shocked it was loaded with 1.53 GB!!!!! Don’t know where it came from!!! But finally my sole been relieved thanks for all the assistant been given by every one answered my query
Ok a few issues here....
1) You should be asking this in the Q&A forum, not the Dev forum, it has nothing to do with development
2) You don't need four third party apps to move your apps to sdcard. Apps2SD is a function of the android system. You can simply go into Settings->Manage Apps and then go into whatever app you want to move and press the button that says "Move to SD Card"
3) You really shouldn't be rooting around your phone deleting or moving stuff without a thorough understanding of Linux and Android.../mnt/asec/secure/asec is a symlink to .android_secure on your sdcard. Those files were not actually on your internal memory, just links to files on your sdcard.
4) Android will manage your internal memory as necessary...you really don't need to be worried about having only 200mb free. Once you run out it will start installing apps to your sdcard on its own.
At this point I think you're pretty fubar and will have to reinstall the apps then move them to SD if you so choose.
Dear thanks a lot for you respond also thanks to direct me to the proper channel to post my inquiry in, also thanks a lot for the advices and for the explanation but one more concern killing me, why once trying to install new application an red SD card icons appears on the tab upper left corner with memory full window listing that internal device memory is nearly full delete/uninstall some applications or data and try again! Any help
Internal Memory full
You must have a ton of data on your internal SD and that is why the icon appeared. Also, some apps cannot be moved to the external SD. I would go into your applications and see what is vital and what you can delete. Keep the internal SD as light as possible. External SD's can be expanded to 32 gbs (i have one and it works well)..so use that for all your data and for moveable apps. Remember to check which apps you can move and which must stay on the Internal SD.
Hi All,
I have just rooted my One.
I backed up the entire SD Card and I have copied some things back (DCIM, Downloads, My music (apart from my Play store offline files).
I cannot locate many of the images I took with the phone prior to root. I can also not for the life of me figure out why so much space is consumed on my memory considering what I have on the device.
Regardless, I didnt know if there was some secret hiding place that things go to hide.
I had many of these photo's in their own folders within the Gallery, these are also unavailable.
I have since backed up my photo's to DropBox, and they all appear in there, so I am looking to sync my PC with my dropbox tonight then copy the photo's I want back to the phone, but firstly I need to know these files arent still hiding on my "sd card" before I go and further duplicate them.
Is there anyone out there who has gone through the same thing and has some pointers as to what to look for as I find the file structure within ES File Manager quite confusing with SD and 0/ with emulated partition that seems to be a dupliucate of SD Card etc etc.
Sorry, very noob question, however I have been rooting phones for ages, my last being the HTC OneXL and everything seemed to make so much more sense on that phone.
Any advice would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Yes, the SD and 0/ folder is a duplication of your storage, so do not need that folder. You can delete any other stuff inside the media folder, though. If everything is already stored on your computer, how about you format the SD card and use adb to sideload a ROM? In other words, a clean, fresh install.
Hi guys,
I recently bought a HTC One, I rooted it cause I wanted to change the htc icon to being operational so then flashed the kernel teaMSeven-sense-4.2.2-kernel-v2.1.4.zip. All appeared to be fine but now I am being told that I have no SD card installed so I can't access my photos, use my camera or access the Dropbox app properly. I presume there are some other issues but can't be sure yet. When I connect my computer to my laptop I can access the internal storage without a problem. When I go to recovery mode and go to Advanced - File Manager - sdcard I can see all the folders. Also when I go to mount and try it first gave an error that usb-otg couldn't mount and now it hangs at updating partition details.
Please help!
your sd card is there. there are some fixes in the development section. Take a look there

USB OTG is not your internal storage.
I had the same issue and that video is far too complicated for what you actually need to do.
This is what I did when I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 on my HTC One.
Issue: You will have a new place for your data now. The default under 4.2.2 is now /data/media/0. Under 4.1.2 it was /data/media. Notice the extra /0 - that's for a multi-user environment.
Resolution: Needs root access, of course.
1. Install ES File Explorer
2. Enable ES File Explorer to have root under it's settings.
3. Navigate to /data/media
4. Ta-da! All your old files are there! NOW...
5. Select and move your files that you want to keep from /media/data to /media/data/0
This worked for me 100%. My free storage was only 2.58Gb with a fresh 4.2.2 install. Because I moved all my wanted files across and deleted all the other legacy items, it's now about 13Gb free.
Used the youtube vid so thanks for that osmosizz, worked well and thought me a bit in the process like getting your java paths right!!
Will try your method Joe if this happens again, cheers
