Hi guys, i don't know if this are the right place to post my question so sorry for my probably mistake..
To return in topic. I have an O2X with cm7 and i recently got a 16GB sd card. The cm7 mounts the internal sd card as /sdcard and external sd card as /mnt/emmc.. when i install some apps or games the system use the internal memory and the internal sd card (for app's data).. I've searched on the forum but i'm not understand very well so my question is, what is the best choice of "management" of this memories?? is possible to mount external sd card ( mnt/emmc ) as sd card ( /sdcard ) and eventually don't use the internal sd or mount it as /data partition?? Thanks in advance guys
Ps: Sorry for my bad english
In CM7 you got a option in settings and cyanogenmod settings where u can switch this. Go through the menu and look. Don't remember where but it's there.

Hi there,
This is a bit of a noob question.
When I go to system setting I see 3 memory storage.
1. Internal phone storage
2. Internal SD card
3. External SD card
My question is, by default, do apps get installed on internal phone storage?
Cos it's only around 2GB.
Also, when you move apps to SD card by going into setting-applications,
does it move to internal SD card or External SD card??
Many thanks in advance!
Hey everyone,
So I was having issues with SD Cards earlier but I reflashed a different kernel and then went to Nightly build #28 of CM7 and everything seems to be alright.
My only issue is my External SD card is mounting to /mnt/emmc/ instead of /sdcard (or wherever its supposed to go) and that is giving me trouble with apps that require SDCard, as they think I dont have one.
For example, my camera app wont let me save pictures because "I dont have an SD Card", same with TapTap Revenge 4 etc.
How can I mount my external into /mnt/sdcard/ or wherever it should be? :|
Thanks.
If i remember well, this is the new way the external sdcard is and will be mounted. I have it that way too and never got problem. Can't you save on the internal SD ?

Idk, I was just having problems with my SD Cards, so I'm not really sure.
It says
SD Card : unavailable
Internal 1.78gb / 1.87 gb (Its supposed to be 16gb?)
Additional Storage : /mnt/emmc
5.44gb / 5.55gb (partitioned in recovery.. its an 8gb)
and whenever I try to download anything it says I dont have an SD Card. :\
HEy guys,
i have a big problem.
after an update from CM7.1 release to cm7 nightly (later dated) cm7.1 mount my internal SD to EMMC and the EMMC (microSD Card) as SD-Card.
Is this normal?
So, at last, it will bei not soo a big problem, in case i can install more games, because i have more space.
but at the moment i have no gapps and no idea which filesystem i need for microSD.
Can anyone help me?
Or is it an easy way to modify the mount points?
greetz,
ravn
Happened to me once after a flash
I deleted the external_sd folder on External card through PC and things resolved after a reboot

HEy,
thx Jonny and Jose.
the last link is what i´m looking for.
the resault ist:
Setting -> CyanogenMod settings -> Applications -> Use internal storage
there u can switch it.
This will be a great feature. But at first, if u don´t know what happens, it is not sooo great ^^.
so, now i use my external SD (emmc) for programms and games .

Hi there, I know that theres a lot of posts on this forum regarding this issue but i didn't find comprehensive answer to how to move Apps to an External SD card on the G Note.
I'm not an expert with Android as I am in the transition from the iPhone, but I'm not too much of a noob as I have a bit of knowledge due to hacking and jailbreaking with the iPhone.
Now here is my problem. I have a lot of Apps that are hogging my storage and I have come to a point where I cannot install anymore Apps. When I try to copy it to the external SD card (16gb Class 10), it is actually copying it to the internal SD card. I have tried all those Apps like App2SD and I still haven't had any luck. I even tried all the tutorials on this site and still no luck.
I know there are easy methods with Froyo, but I don't want to downgrade as I am currently on "ICS(4.0.4) Stunner Beta 5.0" and it runs like a dream on the Note! If worse case scenario that I have to downgrade to achieve this, the lowest I will go back to is a factory rooted Gingerbread.
Even when I was on factory rooted Gingerbread I still had this same problem before the upgrade.
Right now the only way is to edit vold.fstab file but that will cause bigger issues with ICS and Stunner in particular
Your best hope is wait for a new version of Stunner where the internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/emmc and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and that should solve your issues completely
I read Neo talking about it and I think he will implement this structure in the next release
Thanks for the quick reply! Thats great news.. If i have to wait for a Stunner update, is there another ICS or Gingerbread release or tweak that could fix this?

I have micromax funbook with ICS 4.0.3..in my tablet internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/extsd - Even I need a solution as most HD games are huge and its usable internal memory is only around 2gb.
In my friends Samsung Galaxy S external sd card was mounted as "sd card" and we were able to move installed apps to 16gb memory card need this fix.

GL to SD. Basically it can move all/selected gameloft games to EXTERNAL SD card
Dont forget to thank if it works!!
Any solutions?
It has been 2 years. Has anyone found a solution to transfer huge games from internal SD card to external SD card..?

Try searching re-partitioning your internal memory. It increases your current 2 GB Max internal memory to 4-6-8-10 GB by reducing your internal sd card. This way you can install many apps without having to move it here n there. thread is by @metalgearhathaway.
A problem
Actually, i modified the vold.fstab file and partially bricked my tablet. It gets stuck on the booting logo and recovery console seems to be useless because the wipe data/factory reset option doesn't work. It's an A23 based 7 inch tablet for which i'm unable to find a ROM to flash it with. Any help would be appreciated. Or is there any way to re-modify the vold.fstab file to the old state? Or to reset the ROM?
Hello guys, I have installed CM 7.2 (stable version) (a couple of times now -_-) the bad thing is that it will not read my internal memory card and the data on it.
When I mount via cwm, it shows both my internal card and the external sd card.
I have tried going to the emmc folder, it is empty when I use file manager of cm7. But when I go to emmc via cwm, there are all the files which are in my internal card.
sorry for bad english, please help
