Phone memory is sd card - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all i have a problem, i cant instal rom cuz in CWM my sd card is phone memory WTF! In file manager my phone memory is SD card.
Really need help bro's.

Its supposed to be like that. Its like the internal SD card of the phone. For me, it never wipes the internal SD card when I installed a custom ROM. But I always made a backup. If you want to put ROM on external SD card, you can do so. And when you search for the ROM, the folder should be labeled as external SD

Id est quod est

CM made this swap mid ICS is I remember. Was this to mitigate the encryption bug wiping out the internal?

[Q] SD Card Flip

Hey, I have eclipse installed and in doing so it automatically switched my sd card location. Internal is now external, and external is now internal. under settings I have selected install apps to internal sd card, which now means they are installing to my external card correct? Also when I got into settings to manage applications it shows hardly anything installed to the external card but that's because its.flipped right? Im just a little confused cuz if I ever want to sbf again I want to make sure they are installed to the real external card so I don't lose anything. So theoretically I should not use the option under settings to "move app to external card" because I would be moving it to the internal? Is there any other way to see if they are installed on my real external card? For example plugging in to a computer via usb and being able to see what's there?
Thanks in advance for any help.
one way to check is power off, remove sd card, reboot
if app still works its not on sd card

U mean the internal memory? U won't need to format it m8, just delete what's on it and just flash over whats left.
No need for a format, there probably is a section in there to format it though.

Ok but why in others post the people speak about using terminal emulator or dialer code to format sd card?
Usually with rom i used cwm to format but by sgs3 this is not possible or i wrong
It is very safe and will keep your system clear. I tried. No problem

In some versions of CWM, the internal sdcard and external SD (emmc) are flip-flopped. In order to format the internal SD of my galaxy s2 using CWM, I had to choose the option to format emmc. If I chose sdcard (which should represent internal SD), it would have formatted my external micro USB. If you have an external SD, just remove it before trying this procedure so you don't wipe the wrong thing (I have made that mistake).

What about TWRP? Try to flash a kernel with TWRP and see if you can mount it there. Just try it

Eclipse ROM, won't let me download anything without an SD card installed.

Before I rooted and installed the Eclipse ROM I would download my favorite podcast to internal memory and listen to it. Now when I attempt to download it tells me there is no SD card! Is there a setting to make it download to internal memory and not to an SD card?

Anyone?
I know sometimes when running a custom rom the sdcard location çhanges. Like if youre running cmX its sdcard 0/1 or emmc/sdcard... check your download location. I had something similar happen but I had to upgrade my sdcard because I had an off brand 8gig class4 that would read only sometimes. Hope that helps a bit.

eclipse has sd card flip flop. so your external is labeled as internal. and internal external.
