Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1 mass storage problem

As the title says, I have problem with my SGS GT-I9000 with transferring files to it.
Now, from beginning:
-my Pc: windows xp sp3
-my smartphone: SGS GT I9000
Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1 flashed with CWM 5
and with Pauls newest kernel ([Kernel]-GT-i9000_Galaxy_S-4.0.3.257134.zip) also flasheed through CWM
..I found few "bugs" in this port (no Facebook sync possibility, with contacts etc., compass seems to show incorrect position) but the main one and very fundamental is with mass storage mode. When I connect my phone to PC, it prompts me an option to connect my phone as mass storage like it did on Gingerbread 2.3.x ..when I successfully enable it, I can see through all folders and subfolders on my internal sd (16GB) and external sd (microSD 16GB) but when copy/paste for example some folder with a movie in it from my PC to either internal or external SD it shows me very slow download progress and a bit later on my PC error pops up, saying it can´t find specified folder or whatsoever and my phone freezes, so I have to hold power button for 8sec to restart it again.
What is interesting, when I boot my phone in CWM, and mount my SD to PC ..I can easily transfer files (eg. 4.6GB copied in 20min) ...for my external SD, I would have to take her out of my phone and place her into USB adapter to transfer files (and put it back in my phone again). This is very frustrating because I like this port very much, it´s fast and you get all the OC/UV LiveOC control, just perfect ..if I could only fix this.. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Can anyone help?? please
..also, I found out that I can´t copy files in between internal and external sd card.
If I don´t solve this problem I´m afraid I´ll have to go back to Gingerbread until better and stable version comes out ..and I like ICS so much.

Thank you for your advice but I couldn´t wait and flashed back to gingerbread...until more similar (by some basic functions) version of ICS port comes out I´ll be on "old" GB ...
For example, I can watch movie (size 2.6GB) mkv, avi, mp4 ..where on ICS I can watch only mp4..
..and for mass storage I´ve read somewhere that even original Galaxy Nexus with ICS has some problems connecting with PC
Only thing I´m sorry now is because with ICS I could play FPS game with full graphics .. maybe I need to find some custom or stock (preferable) rom with kernel that supports LiveOC and use of NSTools .. ?

That's weird. I've been using my phone to watch movies a lot lately and it's been working great, subtitles and all (with bsplayer). My movies are .avi too. Gives an error doing it by hardware (think only diceplayer does this properly?) but it automatically changes for software rendering mode and works smoothly, no lags, nothing.
Using TeamICS RC3.1 with their own latest kernel and everything works as supposed to. Also, never had a problem copying from the internal to externalSD or the other way around... it is a bit slow, however, to do it from a computer with the usb cable (around 1mb/s) doesn't matter if it's to the internal or external, but i can live with that. I just remove and connect the card to the computer directly if i'm in a hurry.
However, if you're into GB again, i'd recommend you to try mintberry MIUI. Was the most complete rom i've ever used, used it for quite a while and have NOTHING bad to say about it, quite the opposite. And i use my phone A LOT.

I´ve read somewhere that you have to install galaxy nexus drivers on to your pc??
Is that correct? ..
damn, I don´t know what to do??
I WANT ICS but with this problem it´s hard to keep it on daily usage base...
if there is only a kernel (custom) that you can flash onto your stock gingerbread but that includes things like this:
-Voodoo sound
-Live OC, or at least OC/UV above 1.3GHz that is stable
..and I would be happy with GB.

Same here
I have the same problem, also with Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1.
Kernel 3.08-NEO-3.0-galaxys+telus-257114-g5c75537 (the default)
In my case, if I remove the external SD everything work fine, I can transfer files from mi PC to the internal SD (slow, but this is a Known bug). The problems come when I have the external SD (SanDisk 16Gb class 4) inside the phone.
When I mount the device in the Pc and try to access or copy anything in the internal or external SD it just freezes and I have to turn off the phone. It also freezes while unmounting the SD cards.
The external SD connected with a card reader works Ok in the PC and I can transfer and read files with no problem so I tried coping some pictures and when I placed back the SD card in the phone I could see the picture
copying files between internal and external sd also works fine in my device.
I though It might be that the external SD was broke but after I tried using it with a card reader and works OK I have no clue.
I think I'm going to try install a stock gingerbread and star all over again.

That is solved in RC4 (pulled one) ..but it had some other bugs..
I´ve flashed a couple hours ago Teamhackungs ICS build 15 with Devil kernel v.14.2 ...and so far it´s very good, OCed to 1.4GHz..didn´t found any problems that would bug me..except for sending text messages (I was unable to send SMS) ..and so I´ve instaled GoSMS from market and in settings I wrote customized SMSC number -->problem solved.
-no mass storage transfer files problem (its very fast) ..also you can have mounted external SD too..
-flash in browser works
-I´ve gave up from facebook on my device because it uses up to 60MB of RAM (that´s why I use it in browser)

I started from 0.
First i went back to the stock 2.3.6 version, both external and internal SD works perfect.
After that, i flashed to a new kernel "hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery" following the cyanogenmod wiki
With the CW I installed the RC 4.1.
After that, I still have the same problems. I realised that I have no problem listening music from the external SD or transferring files between internal and external SD with the phone, my problem is always mounting the phone in the PC that crashes after a couple of minutes, no mater if is in Windows, OS X or Linux.
I'm going to install now the RC 4.2 but apparently the SD problems were fixed with an older release so I don't know what else to try.

[Q] How to make SD card as Internal memory in Samsung Note

Dear All,
I am using Samsung note my internal memory is full. Recently I have purchased 32 GB SD Card and I have transferred by music, videos and pics to SD card.
I want to know is there is any option by which application automatically gets installed in SD card?
Please Help.

i have the same question, pls help

manually via the free app2sd on play, I dont know of one that does it automatically, it would be nice if there was one.
John.

Hello
I don't think so there a trick available for the same.
But there are apps available in the play store, using them you can move your any installed apps in to SD card...

You can change the SD card to be internal memory by doing the following system settings > storage > storage configuration > use internal storage. Works fine for me.

no such settings in ICS here

Hell Yeah. You can move between tablet and phone mode or a hybrid of the two as well as per app density changes. i use this with the Thor V11 kerenl and its about 40% quicker than stock ICS and so many new features. You won't regret the move.

sad that I cant see any paranoidandroid rom 0.2 video on youtube.
BTW Thor V11 kerenl - what it exactly does?

There are loads of v0.1 examples on there, even the official thread has some however v0.2 has a lot more features and is smoother. If I have time I will make one tonight after work and upload for you. No guarantees though.
The kernel acts as a mediator for your programs and your hardware. First, it does (or arranges for) the memory management for all of the running programs (processes), and makes sure that they all get a fair (or unfair, if you please) share of the processor's cycles. In addition, it provides a nice, fairly portable interface for programs to talk to your hardware.
There is certainly more to the kernel's operation than this, but these basic functions are the most important to know. Obviously each kernel does things in different ways however I found Thor V11 with undervolting and overclocking to be by far the best.

OP-Do you research before doing anything dangerous. Since this threat is for Desire HD and not Galaxy Note. Be very careful.
If you have that 32GB micro-SD, you can use it as your phone's internal SD card with an easy vold.fstab swap. Your reduced capacity internal storage would then become your "external" SD card. This link should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377628

SD suddenly unmounts on V30B

Ok so I am starting this thread to track down the SD unmounting issue present on V30B. Every idea is welcome.
Things I have tried and have not helped me:
Pimp my ROM (tweaks to external memory)
Factory Reset
Format SD (on ROM)
Different SD card

look this bug is not specific to the rom , most of v30b users dont face it ,, try removing "android_secure" folder from sd ,, also re-flahs your current rom on full wipe

Had that issue too.
Things i've done to track down the issue in 7 days testing period.
1) Formatted my SD Card (16Gb Sandisk Class8)
2) some combinations of cluster sizes (reformatting through Card readers in windows - filesystem fat32) and mp3 only for testing
3) Finally, reflash rom (Marvel ICS) and yes, once again i had that issue after receiving some phone calls...
I believe it's the SD Card itself which started to give up due to aging ... (3 years old)
I'll try if that happens again with a 2Gb Samsung
Question: what's the brand, size and speed class of your SD card?

I have tried 2 cards with same results: Amazon class 10 16GB and Kingmax class 4 4GB(included with phone). I was on Froyo before updating to ICS and never had this issue until updating.

BTW, have you tried the tweaks from Pimp my Rom?

Had this problem twice, but for now, no issues. I'll report if that happens again, but my main concern is that there's something going on with the SD Cards or some files.
Maybe ICS has some "sensitivity" with that so we should all start with format and transfer only our crucial files on the card to troubleshoot...

Check my post #4 .... just a bit above all these
So far, no unexpected unmounts, but as far as i'm reading about this issue of ICS on some other cellphones, it might have to do with the source code (I have no idea about these things) of this version, or it's just a coincidence and our SD cards are more sensitive now, with 4.0
First, try to format and restore your basic folders (music, pictures etc..) do not restore all useless folders or "junk" files... keep your SD card and input tray's contacts clean and firmly insert the card.
We'll see how it goes.... by the way, i have no tweaks from Pimp my rom for the microSD.

Ok I just reflashed (same V30B). I will conduct a 1 day validation to see if it is solved.

I had that problem a lot with rrgrrg's IceBOOM, only once in that week I used his 4.01 and non at all in the two days I use 5.01. But I must say that I heard from other ppl that use a v30b version, that they have it a lot and other ppl with the same ROM don't have it at all, so I gues it is a mix that some cards are more 'sensible' and some ROMs can handle it better.

tfs

again it unmounted. I guess we should wait for V30C (if it is ever released) hoping this bug was addressed.

Formatting the SD from the phone solves the problem ....
Save files first on the PC and then copy them back ..

I've had this happen with 28C. I've been using 30B that is not rooted and not had a problem at all. I'm starting to think it's the flash process. I erased all data on the SD card and flashed with Smart Flash. No problems seem it came out.

It is clear that the solution is a pain, but is the only one there ..

[Q] link2sd help!!

i have sgm with sandisk 16gb class 4 sd card. using cwm i partitioned my sd to ext3 4096mb size and 0swap.
when i did this in stock rom(earlier) my phone was stuck in a permanent boot loop and i had to reflash stock rom using odin.
when i tried this with a rom (xtreme g 2.3.7) it worked fine (at least i think so coz sd size shows 11.01 gb from 14.83gb) i installed link2sd and started installing apps. whenever internal memory got full i would go to link2sd and move each app to sd by choosing move to sd card and then again install apps till my phone got stuck in bootloop i had to wipe data using cwm.
what is the mistake? is the partition too high or i made a mistake in link2sd or what?
PS could someone tell me how to use link2sd(which options to tick to make apps move to sd ext? ive googled a bit but cant find anything

Y dont u use s2e ... ? If u have rooted ur phone and have cynogen mod it should work fine ..... s2e is better bcoz it automatically stores everything on sd ..... just an opinion
Ps : i dont think there is a mistake in the partitioning process u followed....

What?you still cant write to the SD card even after formatting it with pc?then possibly the card will be damaged or write protected
