[Q] AOKP 3 Storage Problem & GApps - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed your AOKP build 3 on my international atrix. The ROM doesn't recognize internal and external storage for me. When my phone boots it says that is safe to remove sd card. I used the two options EMMC and SD with or without build.prop tweaks. Also i flash this with FULL wipe (system, etc) The other thing that i cannot find are GApps. Can I use CM10 GApps for this rom ?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Can't access Internal SD after rooting.

Hi there, I'm new to this whole thing and I think I may have bricked my SGS2 but I'm not sure :/
Apologies in advance if any of my terms are incorrect!
Okay, so I was wanting to install the AOKP Jelly Bean Build 4 onto my S2.
Everything was going fine, I managed to install the ClockWordMod 4.0.0.2 onto the phone and do all the Odin Stuff.
I then put the phone into Recovery mode and then proceeded with the factory reset and then the cache partition wipe
and then the Dalvik cache.
What I didn't realise I had to do was to have the custom ROM on the internal SD. Being the n00b I am
I automatically thought that by "place custom ROM on SD" they meant to put it on my external SD card.
I can't seem to access the ROM zip file on the external SD and was wondering how I could get it onto my internal one?
I have two questions
1. Is there any way I can install the custom Jelly Bean ROM using the external SD memory? [As I don't have the ROM on my internal SD]
2. If not, is there any way I can access my Internal SD anymore because the computer is not recognising it.
3. If that's not possible either, is there any way I can restart everything from scratch, or reinstall an OS to use? LOL.
I am sorry if this isn't clear at all, any help would be appreciated guys! Please and Thank You
Factory reset from within ROM.
hi, it happened to when i finished flashing CM10.1 for my Samsung Galaxy W. what i did was i did Factory Data Reset from within the ROM and tick the "Erase SD card" box. After my phone reboot i finally can access the internal sd. thank God.
Update CWM to a newer one ... This will enable install zip from internal/external sd card
Tou can reinstall the os with odin stock rom from sammobile

[Q] Noob - Utterly Confused

Hi everyone, new to the forum and I hope that my (likely) simple question is easy to answer!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, that was running the stock ROM at 4.1.2. I rooted the phone using the Odin tool, which worked first time, and I then proceeded to use ClockWorkMod (latest version I think) to flash a custom 4.3 Rom to the device (after taking a backup of the EFS folder to SD Card and my PC).
That has worked perfectly. I am loving 4.3.
The issue I have is internal storage.
When I did the custom rom install, I did:-
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format System
I then installed the custom ROM and latest GApps and all is good.
What is curious, and I just cannot seem to explain, is that the internal storage when I was on the stock ROM, reported I have over 6GB free, and now that I have gone over to the custom ROM, I have around 2GB free.
For me, that seems strange that I have lost 4GB of internal storage just for this ROM update.
I had assumed that the Data/Factory Reset and Format System would clear out all the rubbish ready for a clean install of the Custom ROM - but that does not appear to be the case.
How do I go about resetting my device so that I can clear down the internal storage to the extent that I can regain the lost space?
Any help is really appreciated.

I would say, try to establish if the rom had 4GB of extra data or not initially. How much bigger was the custom rom compared to the stock rom?
If you have busybox or TerminalIDE installed ( hope you have!) , try running "du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 30" and see if you can find any particularly large files, or directories that seem extremely bloated and compare them to the stock rom.
What are you using to determine how much disk space you have free? Windows via usb? df via terminal?

AS clean as you will get .
Recovery format system data cache preload and sdcard .
You now have no OS boot to download mode and flash stock rom or flash custom rom from ext sdcard .

Problems on I9300 after updating to CM SNAPSHOT M4

Hey guys,
I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.
From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.
Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.
My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?
Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.
I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):
wipe data/factory reset
mounts and storage -> fromat system
mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
then flash the rom etc
If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.
Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.
So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above
I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
Hey Man,
I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.
What to do now???

You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?

Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..
I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.

Unfortunately that was my only choice. I did it, and I succeeded...

That was the exact situation I was in. I tried mounting the ext/sdcard and transferred the rom to it, but it didn't let me to install it, it said installation failed.

Wipe Cache & Dalvik running SD-Card in "Internal Mode"

Hey,
I have a short question.
Is it still safe to wipe Cache & Dalvik within TWRP when the SD Card is running at "Internal Mode" on Marshmallow without losing any data?
I have used the "Internal Mode" the first time since about 2 Weeks now on my Oneplus X with the Exodus ROM. I than flashed a new Nightly last week (within TWRP from Blue Spark) and directly after this the blue spark kernel and Xposed Modul. Finally I wiped Cache & Dalvik. After booting to the OS it tells me the the SD Card was not found and I noticed that it was empty
I have flashed new nightlies before and never had a problem with something like that, but previously the SD Card always was used as External Card and I always stayed with the stock Kernel of the Exodus ROM. So I'm unsure where the data get lost..
Could the problem be the Wipe Cache & Dalvik or perhaps the change of the Kernel in combination with the Internal SD Card Mode?
hm.. nobody who has an idea what exactly was going wrong there?
Fine here, running Ressurection Remix
