Hi!
I've got this weird problem with my phone. My phone has got 8GB of internal storage, and a 2GB Micro SD card.
Whenever I install a custom rom, it seems to restrict the 8GB of internal storage for me, so that I can only use the 2 Gigs on my SD card, and then another 2 Gigs of the internal storage.
Also, can I just remove everything on both the card, and the internal storage now where I'm gonna put another rom on it? Or would that mean flashing and rooting again?
Thanks!

Did you tried to unmount,and mount your internal memory?
About which custom rom are you talkin?
in CM9 Go to settings, storage, press the Menu button, and change the storage option to use Internal Storage. Reboot.
In CM7, go to Cyanogenmod settings->Application->use internal storage. Reboot
I had this problem for a while too but it was remedied quite easily Cheers.

Hi,
I just changed the mounting of the sdcard and emmc to be reversed. As far as I understand, the sdcard is "usually" the internal sd, and emmc is "usually" the external sd.
The biggest issue I faced was that everytime I reboot my phone, I'll have to remove and reinsert the sd card so that the sdcard is detected by the phone. After I swapped the mounting, everything went well. Is there a reason why the devs use the scheme?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm seeing this on CM nightly 204
haven't use nightly 204 but in stable CM7, there is an option called 'Use Internal Storage' under setting menu 'CyanogenMod Settings'->'Application', check it then internal sdcard would be mount as /sdcard.
Hmm... That's a good option.
Just wondering why the it is not checked by default.
I didn't have sd inserted at first, so *nothing* is working. Camera complains, installing apps failed, etc.
CyanogenMod reverses the sd and emmc mountain as the internal sd is rather small and external is typically larger. They do this since many apps do not offer a way to switch storage location. It is possible to switch them back and there is a tread on it but since I'm on mobile I really can't link to it right now.

I see, that made sense... Yes, option to swap it back is mentioned by hkkp.
But I still think it should default to sd as internal sd, emmc as external flash. Let user make the switch if they wishes to...

i use nightly 204, and didn't happen like you did. i prefer external sd card is default and internal to be external. because external sd is bigger then internal one and faster i use class 10

Odd... Must be some dirty data during flash. Could you check this out?
1. Go to Terminal / adb to the phone
2. type "cat /etc/vold.fstab" without the quotes
3. paste the output here
Could you also check if "Settings->Cyanogenmod Setting->Applications->Use Internal Storage" is checked by default?
Hello, I am new in this phone and notice that internal SD is like main SD. I install some gameloft games(modern comabt 3 and asphalt 7 and etc) and all memory of 5.5GB internal SD is gone ;( but I have 16gb class 10 SD card, I put in phone, but still my phone storage games data and pictures and etc to internal SD. Can I make that my external SD 16gb would be main SD? I came from galaxy ace phone, and there was internal memory just 170~ mb, so games data was storage into my SD card. :/ Can I found some zip update to solve my problem? By the way I'm using CM7 nighties latest ROM.

try using app2SD application from playstore.....
but, just be sure if that works normal with your games.usually works well with apps.it will install ur apps to External SD.
else try using the CM7 based ROMs which allow you to choose the external SD card as main SD by default. I would recommend to try Stefan''s Hybrid 3.7 if you want to take the CM 7 route...
Hope it helps

You can change SD card mounting in settings! Perhaps in Settings,>App>debug and toggle out the internal SD as principal

shared internal storage, i think its a problem.
I find Directory Bind is a very useful little app for shifting app data onto the external SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I found you have to check the "alternate dbase mgmt" option for it to work, but apart from that it works well to shift you big data directories wherever you want them.

I have a chance to buy a used Samsung Galaxy Tab at a great price, but there is a problem with the internal memory. It has been rooted and right now it is operating on CM10 Nightlies from the SD card. The internal memory partition is recognized but can't be accessed. Is there any chance the internal memory can be recovered?
since the previous owner went a great length to get it working with only external sd, I think likely the internal memory is beyond help. You can ask him how far did he go trying to fix it.

Thanks for the reply. The previous owner said he never tried any fixes.
I might have mistaken your initial info as saying you have the whole ROM installed on external sd card.
If it is just the internal sd card not showing, you could try to format the internal sd card from cwm and see what happens.

Sorry, I was unclear. The whole ROM IS installed on the external SD card. There's no problem running the ROM from the SD card and no problem with the SD card itself. It's the Galaxy Tab internal memory that is bad. The internal memory is recognized but cannot be accessed. I guess I'm wondering if the internal memory can be reformatted and fixed.
I bought it for next to nothing, so even if I can only use the ROM from the SD card, its not a big deal.
I made my SD to internal
When I connect my phone to PC, I can only see the internal memory.
How could I see the SD or the sum of both storages
This happen to me in all ROMs with marshmallow.
Are you sure you are seeing the internal memory? When you format your SD Card as internal and you connect it to the PC you should see only the SD card. It works this way, you lose access to your internal memory. Try rebooting to see if it works, this happened to me some times.
I tried everything, but in which ROM are you?
Have the same problem. Upgraded to CM13, formatted SD as internal and now I only see the internal storage via USB/MTG. In settings/storage & USB I see both storages (8/3GB and 32/31 GB total/free), but neither on a Mac nor Windows I see the SD storage, only the smaller internal. Kinda bad, because there is not much space left on my internal and I can't copy music, pictures, files onto my phone.
Edit: Latest nightly ROM

I tried that storage option earlier, I think, if I remember well, you have to move your files to the SD card, through the 3 dot menu at storage settings, then it will set the SD card as your main storage. Hope it helps
Sorry for my english

Yeah, this did the trick. Moving to SD and reboot now gives me the full space.
Hy mate, can u guys tell me what custom rom can merge sd card as internal storage, so i can use my sd card as internal storage.. thanks
Why would you want that? Internal storage always gets destroyed completely after a ROM install or change. ROM changes always want full wipes/formats. It is why I almost don't care about its size. External SD capability is critical and permanent. Internal is just non-permanent anyway.

yeah i know it,, but i have only 64gb internal and can't install any game cause got full apps and fully storage... in MIUI we can merge sd card as internal so give me extras space... but in my custom rom (pixel) there's option to do that but after format as internal storage, sd card still not merge at all.
