After i installed cyanogenmod 7 on my optimus 2x, i only borrowed an microsd card of a friend to install it. After I gave it back, im not able to save any files, nor take any pictures with my phone. seems like some settings that is set to only save on sd cards. how to fix?
Try when the camera is on, press the menu and scroll down to storage at the bottom and check that is on internal sd card.
CM7 is designed to use an SD card. You'll need to look in the dev section to swap integral & external SD mounts.
Are there any other fast roms, such as modaco or something, that is not designed to only save content on sd cards? I dont have an sd card, so I can only borrow one when installing
You can fix CM7 pretty easily. It's just a zip to flash.
MoDaCo works like stock though and defaults to the internal SD.
I use fr17 and is mega quick and stable

I use a 32GB class 10 micor SD. I tried to transfer the isntalled apps from phone to the external SD using "App 2 SD". I note that the apps were actually moved to the internal SD card but not the external SD. The photos and the video can be saved to the exteranl SD though.
I am new user of Android phones. Did I do anything wrong or app just can't be saved in external SD?
the internal sd is your external sd for app2sd.
earlier phones didnt have an internal sd. so there it was written on the external.
maybe you could reroute the paths. but for an normal user this could be hard.
So I think all phone with intwrnal SD Card has the same poblem.
Can the problem be solved when upgraded to 2.3?

Jup, all phones with an internal sd have this probs afaik.
but you can change the paths, so the external card becomes the internal.
i dont know how the paths are routed in gingerbread, but it should be tha same.
if you want to change this search in the dev section, there is a description.
Hello!
I'm planning to change my Xperia X8's SD Card.
I'm using Racht's custom rom, 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20, also found in XDA forums.
Of course, this offers the use of apps2SD.
Would it be ok if I just copy-paste the contents of my old SD Card to my new one?
Would I still be able to use (without any problems) the apps I transferred to my SD card from the phone storage?
In other words, will all my files (apps2SD transferred files also) in the old SD card still work if I just copy-paste them to the new SD Card?
Very sorry if my explanation is complicated.
Thanks!
Yes it should be fine.
How did the change of SD Card go?

Sorry for the late reply.
I haven't really changed it yet due to my busy schedule. Hopefully, I would be able to find time.
I'll keep you updated!
As long as you did not partition the sd card with extended file system or any other fs that only linux can detect, there should not be a problem.

If you have partitioned your old SD card with ext3 partition you can use any Linux live CD to simply copy/paste to your new card
superuser_
is mandatory to have two partitions with the same floyo0, 25. a standard card does not work like a normal android 2.2. roms or they also use the second partition as root and do the first time and we have to install link2sd to transfer apps to the memory card.
multiboot option
if u haven't already changed sd cards try to get a class 6 sd card as there have been multiboot options released, cm6 on phone memory and cm7 on sd card. check out multiboot thread on x8 development. two roms on one phone, its all gravy my friend.

how about a class 10 card? will it work on x8?
i think it will ok.
I changed from an 8 GB card to a 16. No problem at all. But my card doesn't support Multiboot. If you get a class 6 or higher you should be fine. You just need to copy a few files from the old card and it works fine.
I have just copied and pasted everything from one card to another, and it worked. It is great that now with rachts and doixhan's roms we have the support for app2sd!
Do you know if there is any way to test the speed of the SD directly from the phone? Thank you in advice!
I also am about to change out my SD card. I just upgraded from the stock 8gb card that I had partitioned which I did through ROM Manager to a brand new 16gb Class 10 SDcard
Is it also as simple as copying and pasting from my old SD card contents to the new one and boot it back up? Or would this delete the old ROM and stock ROM off of my SD card? I also wanted to know if I needed to partition this new card as well and if so, at what point do I do that?
I know this is probably really easy but I am new to flashing ROMS which is why I wanted to get a bigger and faster card! Thanks!

I thought the lower number of class like class two was faster than say a class ten? I've been wondering this and saw this post. What do you guys think is faster?
Class 2 or 10?

The class 10 is faster and more expensive......
I am so frustrated with the fact I can't store system/user info on my external sdcard and constantly have to play mediator between my internal storage and the internal sd. Is there something to remedy this yet and I just missed it? Or is it something I just need to deal with?

I don't know if will help you any, but with dolphin browser, your able to change your download directory and change it to your external SD card. I know this won't totally solve your problem, but at least you won't have to move your downloads (for me, this was a big issue because my downloads were filling up my internal storage).
I don't know why some things aren't set up to save them to your external SD card automatically because you get more storage there that really doesn't get used unless you manually put something there.
I believe Motorola should have set up the name for the external SD card as sdcard and the internal SD card as sdcard-int instead of external being sdcard-ext and internal being sdcard. I believe the cause of the issue is because android by default uses the sdcard directory and in this case, that's internal storage and on other devices, the sdcard directory is the actual SD card.
Later on, I may go into safe mode and try switching the directory names around and see if things will still work.

If you do, let us know, that would be fantastic to fix that!
This seems like the sort of thing a ROM could fix.
With some things, you can go into android options under storage and go to media sync and change that to external SD card and it will save some things on the SD card.

Does anyone knows how to move/install your apps on the EXTERNAL sd card? i've got lots of maps and extra games' data on my phone..and when i move them on the external sd card,they are not recognized..
Please help me and other users with the same problem!
Which version of Android are you using?
If you're on ICS then you just go to Systems Settings - Apps. Then you select the app you want to move and you select, "Move to SD card".
I've been on numerous ICS Roms and it's always worked, I'm not sure about GB anymore (I haven't used one for 7 months now )
You can use an app like app2sd, or try to do this manually, like Lord_santa say
I tried both methods but it moves the apps on the INTERNAL sd card..but i want to move them on the EXTERNAL sd card( minisd card that you attach to your phone)
I'd like to ask if this is possible and i dont know if there's a topic about this i'm using temasek final rom and symbiosis kernel so here it is, is their any way to make our o2x with 2 main sd card the phone main original sd card and external card for example i install any games with its data i can choose where i like to install it specially the sd files because everytime i download game files it directly save on external sd card so i like to choose where game files save
I didnt mean sd card partitioning
Sorry for my bad english
