Hi,
I would like to know if it was possible to use internal storage as "main" sdcard with CM7, like it used to be in stock rom ?

Not sure if you can fully, when I booted into ClockwordMod without the SD card in it wouldn't flash the device because there was no SD card inserted. When you mount it on the PC you get the SD card and the internal memory separate, so I'm sure you can still put music on & all other sutff.
I know what you mean but I would use the internal storage as "main" storage, for exemple put pictures and games data on it, automatically, and access SD card through the "external_sd" folder.

Hi,
Had been running throught the internet but can't find an answer. I have GenYBoot installed and Android 2.2.1 running from Internal storage of my HTC Touch Diamond. I have a problem with SD-card in Android which ... does not exist. If I want to save something it says that there is no SD-card - please insert the card. Device desen't see any additional storage than own memory (<200MB). There is no need to say it's anoying as it doesn't allow me even to download ringtones....
Could you advise please?
Thanks,
Andrew.
Solution
Just a simple trick
I don know what rom ur using, but i had da same prob
Jus delete every single file in the 4gb storage first, then put ur android files fresh ther and start the haret file from file explorer. This should do da trick, it did it for me.

Alright first download this HP FORMAT TOOL
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,64963-order,4/description.html
second, copy all the contents from your INTERNAL SD only card onto your desktop
third, run the tool and choose between quick format [works for me all the time] or full format. Once done re-copy all your files back on the INTERNAL
My phone does not detect External SD card after update to Cyanogen 7.1.
When I click on the card from within Internal SD card it shows empty.
pls help!
thx
Look for the card in /mnt/emmc
its there and not under EXT_sd
why has this changed and how can i make it work with es file manager which is better?
have the same issue on a SGS2. it don't see my 16Gig SD card in es-file explorer.
When i connect to my PC via usb and turn on USB storage both the 16Gig and 11gig storage locations are accessible. but on the device i have to use File Manger and navigate to /mnt/emmc to view the files.
This sux what is going? is this normal or have i installed something wrong?

As said previously, you still need to look under /mnt/emmc in ES file manager
CM7.1 is Android, not Samsung.

that's normal for CM9 (i had the same problem, don't worry your sdcard is fine) just install "Rescan SD Card!" from the playstore or anorher file manager. it only happens the first time you flash CM9.
hi i just flash a cm9.1 stable which downloaded from cm main page
i found out that the external sd card is unaccessable, to be true, the card show no mount for it
there are some ways i did seacrh from the internet
there are:
1.take the sd card out and format it using card reader on a cpu with FAT32 system
or
2.use DirectoryBind app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625740 (thanks)
or
3.find root, find emmc, move it to /sdcard, rename extenal_sd folder to something u like, rename emmc folder to external_sd, reboot
am i wrong in any state?
i heard that there is a kernel that can fix this problem, but i can't seem to found it :crying:
wish that u guys can point me out, thank you

I'd advise going with 1 or 2.
Don't rename the sdcards as it may cause problems....

Hi,
I was using one of the nightly of CM11 and recently i updated my rom to 11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan, its really good works fine, and i felt its much faster than stock rom and the nightly. Well after installing this my recovery got updated to 6.0.5.1 and PhilZ Touch 6.59.0(CWM 6.0.5.1 - PhilZ Touch 6.59.0).
But the issue came up is, i can't see my Internal SD Card, if im inserting external SD Card, its getting mounted into SDCard0.
It was like SDCard0 as internal memory and SDCard1 as External memory.
Is there anyway to mount the Internal SDCard as SDCard0 like it was before?
I dont want to change the rom because its really working fine for me.
I dont have any issue to format again if that will get worked, but i couldn't see its working..

This is not a bug its a feature to enable USB mode for PC connections. The space from internal SD has been merged into data partition.

Oh is it so?!! Its ok but some app files are getting installed to EXT SD Card, like com.android.browser, com.andrew.apollo etc.
Isn't it possible to move to the Internal SDCard itlself? May i know the benefit of merging this internal memory to data partition.
I felt like its using 8GB for the rom and apks etc and still using the external card too.
First i thought it might be used for swap area or zram, so i installed this rom by removing the external card but still..!!
Is there anyway to move the android,baidu, data etc folder to the internal memory??

No because internal memory doesnt exist. Data partition is for app installs the folders you are referring to arent the apps themselves just user files that get created on install. It actually works well for me so far so i dont mind the change but i can understand why others wouldnt.
Try MrSteves final CM11 weeklies release as this has normal file structure.
now using cm12.1 happily

Hi, I have a Moto G 2014 with Stock 5.0.2 rooted, and I bought a 32GB SD Card a few days ago. The thing is that everything is still going to the internal memory, instead of the SD (photos, downloads, etc.), so I want to know if it's a way to make everything write on the SD card without messing up the phone (I heard I can mount SD in /sdcard changing init.rc but I don't want to do that). I also want to move my WhatsApp chats to the SD too, hehehehe (WhatsApp data is in the internal :'c)
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
For the photos and videos part, you can select from the camera application if you want to store them in the internal memory or on the SD card. For applications I think they are installed in the internal memory by default but you can move them after installation on the SD card by going to settings -> apps -> touch app -> move to SD card. To change the default installation location you need the android SDK installed on your PC and adb and then to edit a file. But I do not recommend this since the SD card is not accessible while the phone is connected to the PC. This will make applications that always run to work improperly(widgets, Facebook, etc. might generate a lot of errors because of it).
I think it's a Xposed module for that.

if you're rooted then try link2sd from play store. you need to have an ext partition on your sd card for this to work.
if you are not rooted then you will have to manually create symlinks to the files on the sd card.

Better try Link2SD. The procedure to turn your external SD to internal storage causes a lot of trouble in most cases.
There are also scripts that link the possible apps and libraries automatically to the SD card when installing them.
