exeternal sd card path

hey guys.
I want to use easy mp3 downloader to install music to my ext sd card but the folder for the external sd card is in /
and the app only downloads to the internal sd card so i cant get the path to it.
Anyone ever have this problem or find a way past it?

contact the dev and have them add support for the ext-sd i believe would be the only way unless you opened the .apk and modified it yourself

I'm sure there is a way to change mount points. Tweet and ask Hash. He actually responds very well on Twitter. Or google Android remount sdcard.

[Q] android_secure location on external_sd

I don't know if the following is unique to my cappy.
the .android_secure folder is mounted on the external_sd. it's mounted ro, with d---- permissions.
no x, so no reading contents, but when copied via adb, the contents are all there. So, a second question- how to move it back to usb storage (aka sdcard)?
I am running Corn 7.06 GB. mostly stock, rooted.
Thanks.

Hmm... "copy" and "paste"?

directory permissions only d without x, so copy wont do.
even so, I am not sure that there isn't a piece of code somewhere wont see or place the folder in usb storage. guess I could remount as read write, copy it, shut down and how it boots. as it is, when I unmount the sd card and remove, then reboot, many of the apps wont run. it used to be that these sdcard apps were placed on the internal sdcard, aka usb storage. I've been using tibu pro to move the apps to 'sdcard'. maybe tibu is responsible?

[SD-EXT] Script to mount SD-EXT at boot

Many people have it but those who don't, need it badly
Very Big Thanks to Fire rat for sharing his knowledge with us
Here is his thread:-

What does it do?
If you have any second partition of SD Card
(ext2, ext3, ext4), it makes a directory SD-EXT in the root of mobile and mounts it at every boot.
NOTE: It is not a script for moving any Data or App from Internal memory to EXT Partition, it just creates that directory.
Its for those who are not using(or even using) any script for moving data to next partition and want to just make a prominent directory of SD-EXT.
For eg, if someone is using Link2SD, then the second partition is mounted as /data/sdext2 and not as /sd-ext
So they can't, well, do a lot of things.
Required:-
*Custom ROM with init.d support
*Busybox(not sure if compulsary, but it would be better to have it)
*Root Explorer
*Patience
*Mind
Method:-
1. Download the file in the attachment. Extract it.
2. Go to Root Explorer.
3. Copy the file (03mountsd) you just downloaded.
4. Go to /system/etc/init.d (There is also a shortcut- /etc in root of phone, both are same, NO PROBLEM)
5. Select Mount as R/W.
6. Make backup of your 03mountsd(some files for mounting SD Card may be different from 03mountsd, so you have to use common sense and choose the script which is used for mounting SD Card) [In special condition, there may be no script for mount the SD Card Partition, if so, skip thus step]
7. Paste the downloaded file in there.
8. Set Permissions. Every block must be ticked
Tick means X here
Read Write Execute
...X........X..........X......
...X........X..........X......
...X........X..........X......
9. Reboot
If correctly and successfully done, you will see SD-EXT directory in root of your phone after reboot
If it is not seen, reboot your phone
If again, check again if you had pasted it properly
If again, Download SManagerAds
Select to browse as root
Browse to /system/etc/init.d
And click on 03mountsd and click on (android skull with crossbones)[Root] icon and (blue gear)[Boot] icon and click save and Reboot.

Cronmod doesn't work for me and many other users
And also for those who don't want to use scripts for transferring the data

i think this is the same method that i use and lost my IMEI number

I told you bro that it does not move any apk or data to sd-ext

This looks like it might solve a problem for me because I'm running both Titanium Backup and Link2SD and wanted to use TB to move app data to my ext2 partition.
Unfortunately I'm still using a stock ROM, so there isn't an init.d available to modify. However, I am using SManagerAds to run a V6 Supercharger script at boot. Does the 03mountsd script need to be in init.d?

Updated

Can anyone explain. ME the 6th step
And where can I find 03mountsd????
Thank you

Basicly, for what I read in the script, it's for mounting the sd-ext partition with appropriate permissions, now what I don't really get is, why would I need that?
Compatibility issues with certain apps?

[Q] Xperia V - move application to micro SD

I have alerte from my V that the memory is almost full
I would like to know how can i move applicatiobn to the micro SD because the only option that i have in the menu "application" is to move from phone to internal storage
Someone have the solution to really use complementary memory or are we limited to the 4gb included into the phone for application ?
Thanks in advance

Use Link2SD. It can move applications to the SD card

Thank you but it doesnt work.
Infact android consider the second part of internal memory as a sd card and don t see the real card to move the application
The V have 3 memories :
Memory of phone
Internal memory
Sd card
The solution should be to invers the internal memoory and the sd card but how ?

Use directory bind. Works perfectly in mine.

Thanks i m looking forward an easy method to root my phone and i will try it

works good with directory bind.

I have some problem with directory bind.
The default is sdcard/ext scard. I supposed this is gears towards Samsung devices.
How do we do it in V?.
Or any other apps that does the same?

I've been noticing that I have no storage on my one so I cleaned it out causethe section called 'other' says it's using 18 gb so I deleted the nandroid backup I had and now other still says 12 GB it's using and I don't know what else it is. I've cleaned apps, music and my download folder but still that 'other' anyone have any ideas?

Browse through ES File explorer, or any other explorer. You may have a 0 folder which is sitting in /data/0 maybe..

after upgrading I found I had this odd 12 gig file sitting on the root of my sdcard. i deleted it and everything's running fine

No data/0 folder, is there an app that can tell me what the folder is?

Personally all data are used by CWM when you do a backup.
For see and download it, I used Rom Manager.

It has to do with how 4.3 and 4.2.2 Roms use the sd card vs 4.1.2. If you manually upgraded to 4.3, the symlinks to your sd card were not created, so you are not seeing music, etc.
I'm on a train right now, so can't point you to the correct threads that talk about this, but search for android 4.2.2 and sd card, emulated, legacy, /data/0 .

Uve got astro and root browser. My data/0 folder is empty and my HTC one has no lib.dir file that I can find. I've been deleting stuff and still over 12Gb in "other" I'm also using disk usage and no luck. Arrrggh frustrating

how about you check /data/media
history:
4.1.2: sdcard = /data/media
4.2.2+: sdcard = /data/media/0
but nandroids usually are still in /data/media/clockworkmod or /data/media/TWRP
you need a root-enabled browser to view files&folders in /data/media

SD card data is empty,media folder is empty. I am rooted not sure what u mean by root enabled browser but I enabled hidden folders in astro and root browser and deleted bunch of stuff from the cache folder but there's still a lot in there that I cannot delete. After all the new deletes my 'other' is still at over 12GB. It was at 18GB till I erased my clockworkmod backup but this only came about after doing a backup before flashing a rom.
If I had any hair I'd b pulling it out about now

get ES File Explorer (free app), then enable Root Explorer (screenshot attached)

Got it and its enabled but under sdcard/data is empty
Sdcard/ media is empty except for 1 ringtone
Sdcard/clockworkmod has an empty backup folder and a download folder
I don't seem to have a structure that goes
SD/data/media/0
In the data folder there is nothing
I do see a sd/0 which has a bunch of folders which looks same as under sdcard. I've looked in the sd/0/data=nothing
