Hello y'all
I'm new here so please redirect me if a similar thread exists (Though I didn't find one)
I bricked my device the other time. I managed to fix it using patched PIT files. I lost 3GB and all of those stuff. My device works fine, no problem.
The problem I have encountered is that, if I flash CM9 or CM10 or any other AOSP based ROM, my 8GB eMMC (internal memory) shows as my external SD and the 32GB external SD doesn't show at all! I am not able to access any file on it normally. My music player, PDF reader, video player, etc are not able to show those files when I launch such applications. In order to access files, I have to use root explorer and navigate to /emmc, and select the file I wanna use before I can launch it. This is hectic.
However, on Touchwiz based ROMs, it works just fine.
Any help?
Thanks!

Hello everybody!
As per title I am opening gallery and it sees only items installed in the internal sd, how can I let gallery look at .jpg files registered on the EXT SD ? I am not used to this filesystem. For example linking through USB to the car audio system let you listen only to songs installed on the internal SD.
ALL other considerations on the ROM are: perfect, particularly regarding battery life. Didn't find options for my SIP number account, using Sipdroid flawlessly .

Try to force media files check. Go in Settings , Sdcard and memory, and unmount/remount sdcard.
Thanks for your reply, tried also folders rescan in dev tools, seems it scans EXT EMMC also but no results . Must look into some older thread in Acer Liquid, I remember smthg regarding a COOLIRIS.MEDIA file in sdcard in order to let device look into specific media for the type of files.
Will come back with results .
Regards , Alessandro.
So, I found that msg., but it regarded an old 2.2 version of Android for the Acer Liquid, and it said to cancel file in Android/data/, all the files in Cooliris.media, and reboot; maybe System remounts files in the SD when scanning for media and rebiults this file properlY ( it seems now untouched from the 23 of December ). Turning to EXT 4 as I am now maybe left EXT Sdcard unchanged: even if I set photos to be recorded in the external, photo is actually recorded only in internal SD ( which is a bit ..... full now, with nandroid etc. ) .
Need help.

Found I had from 5/1/2012 a .NOMEDIA file in the root of External SD: deleted it and ... problem solved.
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.
Hello friends,
I am using CM9 NIGHTLY for SGS GT-I9000, I cannot get a GPS fix.
When i use Google maps to find my location with GPS & 3G/Wifi enable it says location cannot be determined.
So i cannot use Google Maps, Navigation, Places etc that need location data.
I have enables all the settings in system settings>Location tab.
Also in other ROMs my external SD card was accessed from
sdcard>external_sd (where sdcard folder contains the files in internal memory/ USB storage), But now external sd card is in a separate folder called emmc.
So some apps cannot move files from internal sd to external sd.
Please help
Thank you in advance.
I use CM9 latest nightly's. My GPS seems to work all the time, and very well too. Don't matter if I use wifi or not. I'm using telus fascinate with galaxysmtd rom/kernel.
As to your SDCard issue, a little while back CM made a change to the mounts. Before the change your internal SDCard would be /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard), and your microsd (external) would be /mnt/emmc.
The CM change swapped both these mounts, so your internel sd became /emmc, and microsd to /sdcard. To revert, go into settings, storage, and hit the menu button. You will get sub menu, hit storage config., and put a check in the box.
Reboot and all should be back to normal. This setting will stick across nightly flashes. If you don't do a full wipe off course.
Let me know how it goes.

Well thanks for your reply, I solved the SD card problem by editing the void file.
But couldn't get the GPS working. Does it have to do anything with kernel?
Does Google maps work for you. I travel a lot so rely on GPS a lot.
And one more thing, whenever i try to make/get a video chat in Gtalk, Gtalk force closes.
Waiting for your reply.
I did a clean flash of CM9 NIGHTLY. Still No luck.
Google maps still doesn't show my location.
In notification GPS endlessly searching for my location.
i have TWICS-UX on my phone,several problems with Gps...i changed baseband to I9000ZWJV4 and i use MNICS kernel and now the Gps work verry fine.

[Q] After upgrading to CM10 "emmc" changed to "extSdCard" and related problems
Hi,
I've recently updated my GNote (GT-7000) from CM9 to CM10, and looks like with CM10 the external sd card previously mouted as "emmc" has become "extSdCard".
Since then some of the apps (such as Apollo) have trouble seeing media files, others can't see the sd card at all, and when connecting to the desktop the drive which normally shows the content of the external sd card, only shows a couple of folders of it rather than the whole content as it used to do before (when using CM9 and previous roms I had).
Looked around for possible causes, but didn't find much. Someone mentioned that rommanager might have placed ".nomedia" files on the root of the internal or external sd card causing the problem, but that's not my case. Tried also doing a full wipe and reinstall of CM10, no joy.
Any idea?
Thanks!
- Adriano
That's the standard mount points for cm10 there are apps that will remount the sd and external sd in mnt as on stock roms. I had a quick look but couldn't find them, but I'm sure someone else will be able to find them.

Thank you for the suggestions -- I tried a clean install as well, but even the builtin apps (Apollo) still had troubles accessing the external sd card (not seeing any of the mp3s I had there). I have now resolved for restoring a CM9 backup I took before upgrading to 10... and everything is working as it used to.
Not sure why I ran into these issues which no one else seems having encountered so far.
- Adriano
I have the same problem except that the files on my internal sd card are not read by apollo player And the gallery. Is there any workaround. The problem started as soon as I upgraded from cm9 to cm10

Download ICS SD Binder. Check all 3 options and reboot. The path should be mnt/extSdCard (i think default is odb or so, make sure you change it) . It worked for me and so I'm trying to answer everyone with this problem. Give me feedback soon. And thanks button if I heped.

It didn't -- I don't need to have /emmc bound to /sdcard/external_sd as it was in GB. With CM9 everything for me works just fine with /emmc.
I tried the latest CM10 nightly, and using ICS SD Binder didn't change things. In the latest CM10 now there is also another mountpoint, called /storage/ and underneath sdcard0 and sdcard1 pointing to the internal and external storages respectively. In addition to /sdcard/ and extSDCard. Every few builds there seem to be some new change related to the storage's mount point. Going to wait another while before doing other attempts.

Any update on this question?
seems these are the new mount points even on the New JB roms from samsung
Somehow in some late November nightly, after flashing it, the files on my Internal SD were detected properly and it has all been working properly since. touchwood!
Hi to all.
Yesterday I've rooted my Samsung SIII Mini N (Vodafone IT) with JB 4.1.2
Now I've root and 2 partition on SD and work well for app on external SD now.
But after rooting I've a strange problem, if I use any browser (chrome, firefox, dolphin, internet ecc.) and I want to save a file or picture in a folder of external SD I can't now. Before rooting I can. Now message is "not space to save file" but I've 3 GB free on phone and 10 GB fred on SD.
If i Save file or picture on phone folder download is ok, when I try to SD folder is bad.
I've try to set permission all on SD folder but not save my change (I use root folder and try other software but the same result).
How I can resolve? Thanks :good:
