Jb gapps makes my phone crash.

I flashed cm10 in cwm and it worked fine. Then I flashed jb gapps rebooted the phone. Android updated finishing boot. And when I go to use the phone it crashes and I can only manual boot into cwm and restore. Is it a bad download or is it cos cm10 is only a nightly and it could be a bit buggy

Download the gapps again and flash it using recovery over the old apps

I will try that thanks.

It works thanks. But everytime I boot my device it says the process gapps has stopped. I press on OK and it all works fine. Its funny.

Hmmm .. in that case you need a clean flash of the rom again followed by the gapps again

A clean flash. U mean factory reset and wipe cache
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

no i mean flash the current rom again using the wipes and formats (system data preload cache) and install the rom again the way you did it

I really appreciate or help, I'm a little confussed how I perform what or saying to do can u plz give me instructions a little more detailed. I'm still kinda learning as I go. And also do know what my external SD card is called in cm10. I can see it in the settings under storage. But I can't find it in any file browsers es or cm file browser.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

its should be in /storage/sdcard1 or /storage/extSdCard
make sure you have all the files needed to flash the rom on the phone..
now boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage
format /system, data, cache, preload
go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache as well
now > install zip from sd and flash the rom again followed by gapps
**** the above steps is assuming that you are still on the Cm10 kernel as its safe

Thanks sorted it out. But still no ext SD card. I know there is a lot of confussion with where SD cards are mounted in cm builds.

What's there us the /storage/ mount?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

For some reason SDcard 0 and sdcard 1 r both mounted in internal memory. ICS SD binder locates my external SD card in mnt/obb. So I thought that's where it is. But when I copy a file to mnt/obb it does not go to the external card I can't access it anywhere.

If it helps when I go into settings/ storage and go right to the last option I can't press on it to mount or unmount SD card. Do I need to mount it? Is this my problem
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

It just says insert an SD card for mounting

Thanks so much for your help bro. Its all working perfectly no crashes and I can access my ext sdcard now. This forum is the best.

Internal SD won't mount on all the 4.2.2 roms

Ok so I've posted this elsewhere and there was no resolution, but I have new info.
So I know there are several others experiencing this problem. Today I flashed every one of the current 4.2.2 roms. I figured I'd install my apps a few at a time to try to determine which app was causing the internal SD to stop mounting. Strangely though when I would boot into the ROM for the first time it did not mount. So I went back farther and only installed the ROM zip and no gapps. Bam it mounted. Rebooted several times, both into recovery and into the system. Each time it mounted. Then I would get excited and install the gapps. Bam no internal SD mount. I tried all the current gapps on here and the insomnia forums. I even downloaded the 03/01 gapps from goo .im.
So obviously this is not all conclusive, but I flashed and wiped and flashed about 25-30 times today trying to figure this out. I confirmed this in my mind for the latest BBB and linereo 10.1.
Those of you wondering I used cwm and tw(the awesome custom insomnia version). My procedure is factory reset/ROM wipe, then I wipe, system, cache, dav cache, internal SD, and Android secure...2 times each. Then I reinstall the ROM.
After install fixing permissions does not fix the problem either.
Also I'm not really expecting any developers to work on solving this since it is also caused by the goo gapps, just thought it might help some of us struggling with this problem.
Swap sd is currently solving my problem, it mounts the internal as external, but it mounts.

what exactly is your problem? cant mount on phone or on the computer

On the phone
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app

I don't think it's really a ROM issue as much as a compatibility issue with some hardware variance with some exhibits. I know we've had other issues that only some people have and no amount of wiping and flashing fixed those.
I bet if we opened up my exhibit, which is only 4 months old, and say camcory or tims we could find differences when we compared them component by component...I believe this is the reason for the varied compatibility.
Hope that helps!

This solution is easier than replacing the system board...
Connect the phone to your computer via USB (this works on tablets with USB as well). When it pops up to ask you to turn on USB storage for the computer, do it. Give it a minute or two to mount the SD and one internal user partition to the computer desktop, then unmount/eject the drives from the computer and turn off USB storage. The other internal partition will be mounted, and will remain so until the next phone reboot.
I've hooked my T679 to both my Hackintosh laptop and my TF101 in this manner, and it works every time.

Thank you red_five_1976 so much for your help. I followed your instruction and voila, it worked !! I like many others, am scratching my head on how exactly to get my external micro SD card to work after installing Android 4.2.2, you method worked for me and I'm a happy man !!

I've also found that if it didn't mount on a reboot, if I reboot to recovery and wipe davlic and cache, then reboot back into ROM that solves the problem.
Btw I'm using the 6/3 AIOP at the moment, best this phone has ever been in every way.

[CWM][Script]Storage Swap for 4.2 ROMs

I modified the original script to work for our mount, and then put it in a flashable to flash after flashing a ROM to have storage swapped right away after booting. No need to manually move the script to /system/etc/init.d any more.
Let me know if there's any issues.
Thanks to original script author and others who figured out what mounts are which.
DOWNLOAD
Script info:
extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The result is a very big increase of installable apps on your device.
All credits to Mattiadj of xda forum for the idea and script and to mike1986 for the cmw zip.
Script Modified for U.S. Galaxy S3s by Zedomax at GalaxyS3Root.com to be compatible when sdcard is not inserted.

This is ONLY for 4.2 custom ROMs with unlocked boot loaders of course. Not tested with stock 4.1 or CM10 (4.1) You are welcome to try it though and let me know the results.

Do i flash it right after the gapps if i am i stalling aokp?

Gotta do anything to save time

Strange, after loading the zip and went to the storage menu i see the same for internal memory and there is no external sdcard now.

I lost all of my game data. I have TB but I can seem to get it to stick with root explore. I'll format both sdcard and the external , reinstal the zip and hope that I can get it back.

If you formated both sdcards you pretty much deleted everything you had there mate.

To me both of my cards still showing on cwm. How i tell if the job was done correctly. The attachment show no changes for internal but external is not there anymore as it reads internal space

I can't get 4.2 to read the storage in settings correctly. I put a specially named folder on my external SD card and when it shows up as internal I know it works. You won't be able to see the external SD anymore which is now technically the internal.

Formatting SD cards won't make any difference here. All were doing is telling the system one is the other.

I have my game data on my computer, I can't seem to make it stick so I can restore my games to where I was last playing.
I haven't formated anything. After I flashed the zip my data went away, but on the other hand I can see the data folders in root explorer.
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

To undo just delete the script in /system/etc/init.d
This isn't doing anything obtrusive guys its just placing the script for you is all.
Its recommended you do this after a clean install of whatever ROM you run.
As for the game save data I will swap the storage and then OPEN each game to make it create the corresponding folders and then restore

Does it work on 4.1.2 Mexico Retail debloated?
What if i have apps installed and my mmry card is also filled?

Seeing as how it says 4.2 roms only what do you think man? You can try it to see if it works though. You really want to do it on a fresh rom install.

Side loading from the SD card gives me problems yeah. I actually went back to default and just use the symlink method for Google music.

Recovery Error

So after recently AE swapping my device, somewhere during the process of rooting the new one the recovery discovered a glitch. If I boot into recovery it says. "can't mount /recovery/cache" and if I try to install a zip from the SD it doesn't show any of my folders. It shows probably 6 folders all empty that I can't find anywhere on my SD. "GPU, weather, messages." I have tried re installing the recovery.

is there currently a rom loaded? if so I would say connect to it with command prompt and see if you can see the files with an adb shell

Yes the phone itself is working just fine. I sideloaded a rom. However not having working recovery is a significant annoyance. So I'm really just trying to fix the recovery itself.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

So I just tried going to recovery. It displays the message.
" E: can't mount /recovery/cache/log
/recovery/cache/last_log
Recovery/cache/command. "
When I go to install from SD I don't see my SD folders. I only see.
" /0
/GPU
/clockworkmod
/mms
/weather"
None of these folders are on the root of my SD...

That's because you flashed a 4.2.2 Rom. Wipe your internal storage, reboot and copy your storage contents back to the phone.
Fyi your root has changed to /data/media/0/

Interesting, if I had flashed a 4.2.2 rom... But I didn't. I only flashed Ecliptic... But I'll try that fix thanks.

Side loading Google Apps - Help Please

I formatted /data and /sdcard because I was resetting and formatting storage as I was selling my one. The buyer wanted cyanogenmod on it. So I flashed it but forgot to flash Google apps so now when I unlock the phone it just keeps force closing and I can't even connect the USB cable to drag and drop Google apps.. How do I get the Google apps file on the phone so I can use twrp to flash it? I can't go restore any backups as they deleted when I formatted /data.
How do I fix this? I have backups on my computer but how do I get those on the phone???
