Can someone tell me how to move files to the internal memory without connecting to pc.
when i try doing it wth file manager it says file could not be moved
i cant pay for any app right now, need something free
notenoughspace is one app that can do it but i again i cant pay for it right now. If anyone has it plz post the apk.
What ROM do you use? Astro File Manager works fine with Nokie Froyo and rooted stock.
P.S. Are you aware that if you want to store files in eMMC, you should place them in /media folder, not in /,/system etc.?
I am using cm7 right now, i try to place files in my files and it fails
Edit: it working now, but only copy and paste, when i use move, it fails but thats not a problem anyway.
i think the place you are trying to put the files is mounted as read only. Try putting files in the /media/ folder using astro or esf
Root Explorer is best file/rights manager...
Good question. Once you have Root Explorer working, try emailing the files to your self then install to SD Card or eMMC.
Good luck m8.
I use Dropbox to port files to my Nook, Gtab, and Evo phone. Just open Dropbox and download the file on your device. Dropbox puts it on your SD card in the "Dropbox" directory. Then you just use Root Explorer to move and paste from there to your emmc memory folders.
Ok so I have my OB for about 2 months. I have rooted and currently using Zeus rom from Huexxx
Everything is fine except a strange problems that keep bugging me and getting really annoying. For some unknown reason sometimes I could not download contents to my sdcard and apps that need to write data on SD card start crashing and malfunction. I checked by Root Explorer and found out that my SD card was on r/o and at that point I try to fix it by mounting r/w. It seems to work for a while unfortunately same issues will appear shortly after.
I have tried everything: formatting the card with my laptop, or my phone and running disk checking ( found no errors), still doesn't fix it
Please help. I'm really frustrated now
i had the same problem. in my case i was using an sd card from my previous phone. when i baught a new card and flashed my phone with zeuw rom v3 (previously i was in stock rom rotted) my problem disapeared. in my case it only happens 2 timew before i flashed the new rom. also you can try to use a new file explorer (f.e. astro) that does not support root so you can eliminate the possibility that the problem is due to the file manager is changing on it's own the read/write permission on your sd card. that is what i am doing. i use astro for evrything exept when i use root explorer for playing with the rom!!!
hope i helped you

Hmm I tried your method unfortunately it didn't work.
Also it can't be my SD card because I purchased it brand-new at a big store with 5 years guarantee. It works flawlessly when I put it in an adapter and plug in my card reader.
Thank you anyway
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!
Recently I'm having some trouble with my Note. I cannot access my data that is in my external SDCard. I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly 20130330. The only way I can see it's content is via recovery. I tried Root Explorer, Astro Manager, Bluetooth File Transfer, etc. and nothing works, just says it's empty. In my PC it doesn't even open. I don't think it's the SDCard, it's a brand new Sandisk, only a month or two old.

Hey there,
With Root explorer, you should find a folder named under "Storage", and inside there should be a folder named "ExtSdCard". Maybe you can find the content there.

I tried that but at the moment it didn't work, it was simply an empty folder. I installed Slimrom and now I got the access back and, strangely, I now can open the SDCard on my PC !
Problem solved!
Maybe it's the nightly that was stopping you from accessing the ext sd card. Whenever you install a nightly don't forget to update it daily

Hi,
I have a question regarding media storage location of Whatsapp - I don't necessarily expect a solution but would like to at least verify the behaviour on other phones.
My old android device (Sony Ericsson SK17i) saved the Whatsapp media files to the external SDCard.
I bought a S3 mini this week and noticed a difference: Whatsapp media files are not stored on external SDCard anymore, but on the internal storage. I guess that this comes from the internal storage being presented as SDCard0, so maybe Whatsapp thinks that this is in fact the external SD-Card.
Can somebody with S3 mini check how this behaves with his phone? Within Whatsapp I didn't find a way to configure this, can anyone think of a solution to that?
Many thanks in advance.

mine saved on phone internal too....and i'am afraid there's no setting from within whatsapp to store in external sd card....however you can reduce space by using directory bind....search around and you will find it.....directory bind or link2sd should do it....

ok, thanks for double-checking, I was afraid so. I don't want to link the whole app to sd card, but directory bind sounds like a very good idea, I haven't thought of that.
FolderMount (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122) did the trick. Thanks!

How do you managed to make the default Image preview program to work properly?
I marked the "Media verification" checkbox on the folder mount configuration so that de SD Card folder wouldn't appear on the image preview program, but now I only can see some black thumbs with no image "attached" that points to internal memory.
Did any of this happened to you? Or something similar with the images or how you see them?
in my S4
whenever i open this app , notifications comes saying :
checking for root ......
exit
and nothing happens !

This seems like a solution to my problem- moved my whatsapp media folder using the manual settings in Gl to SD, but it seems wonky. I took a picture of myself and sent it to someone, and it worked fine. Image is stored in my "sent" folder on the card, which also shows up in internal if I browse there with an explorer. I click on the image in whatsapp, it becomes full screen.
But when someone sends ME an image, it seems to never download. I see the thumbnail, I click it, and then it says that the media is not found on the SD card.
Sure enough, I browsed the folder in explorer (hooked up to my computer as PTP, browsing in windows 7) and the file isn't there. Only the one that I originated. I tried to create a file there, and it actually timed out on me and said device wasn't available. So it seems to sometimes work but not other times? How strange!

it seems you have root permission problem. you may try to fix permission via custom recovery. GL to SD is working fine and i'm able to download additional data on ext SD.

Ah, that might have been it.
In the mean time I gave up, removed it and went with foldermount, linked above. Works just fine out the door, cleaner UI too.
Move WhatsApp Media To External SD Card
This App automatically redirects WhatsApp media to the External SD Card in order to save memory: I cannot post the link, but you can search Nicola Rosada On Play Store and download Photo & File Redirect.

I got foldermount and used it to mount data/obb folders from some apps to my ext SD card. But this is what i get for whatsapp: The data and obb options are greyed out so i cant select them and it says there is no data to begin with (0 B). How did you do it? Thanks
Thanks for saving me to ask this question. My son has a SG Grand Prime SM-G530H and is facing the same problem.
