[Q] Need help with ROM porting (SD Card problem) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to port a ROM to my phone, but I can't get the SD card to mount properly.
It DOES mount but in a weird way.
The SD card shows up in Settings>Storage but it is divided up between internal storage and SD card.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 32gb sd card is showing up as internal storage while the files on it are coming up under SD card. And as you can see, there is no option to unmount or format it but a greyed out option to mount it.
And if I take it out and put it back in, it doesn't mount even in this way until I restart the phone.
Apps like ROM Manager/Camera say that the SD Card is not mounted while apps like gallery and apollo can read my images and music off of it.
Could somebody please tell me what could be wrong and how could I possibly fix it.

Bump.

Please someone give some clue. I am also experiencing simillar problem while porting for my phone

Me too!
Except I can't even access the settings>storage because it FCs.
And when I plug in the phone to my computer, it doesn't give me connection options. It just charges.
Any help?

What worked for me was to put the 'storage_list.xml' file from the old framework-res.apk (BASE) to the new framework-res.apk (PORT).

What worked for me was leaving the ports vold.fstab there
Sent from my myTouch 4g using xda app-developers app

sadly none of it works for me

Problem with Storage
Do you have now the permanent fix with this problem?
i tried both the storage_list_xml and leaving the vold their.
but none works for me, I can't still change the default write disk to internal storage, and the size of the internal is not correct.
4gb is the built in memory but it says 16gb when porting roms.
thank you in advanced.

sd card not detected
I ported rom to my device...
The prob i m getting is that of 0 mb internal storage and no exterior sd card is shown
Neither gallery nor file manager is showing any thing.
I did everything lyk storage list replacement
Vold.stab replacement
But nothing worked
As i click storage option in sd card mobile reboots
Both the storage r shown in recovery
But not through usb or in device
Plz help me out dev....

If I reinsert my SD card, It seems to give me a message saying it's been inserted. But it's still not detected. How can I fix this?
Regards.
delete your ext2 or ext3 partition.
only fat32 with 1 partition (you don't need ext2 anymore for your sdcard)
make backup of your sd card before!
I'm unsure how to do this. Also, thanks for your response. It's been total chaos for me. I guess they should've included this step in the installation process.
backup your sd card via computer then format your sd card to fat32 then try if is detected.
sory for bad english
I did that and there is still an issue.

hey do you have option in CyanogenMod setting - Performance settings - SD card Cache size
maybe you can try difrent cache size
i hope will work
Not working where is everyone!
go on development forum there you may find a solution or install CM7 gingerbread v13
Right click Computer - Manage - Disk Manager.
Then delete al the ext partions and reformat your card.
do as terrormattie.
makesure you're deleting the right partition and storage.
you can always use other tools like partition wizard to delete or create it later.

Storage is full!!

Hi,
My phone shows that the internal storage is full only like 700mb free, I don't know why, it shouldn't be like that I checked in my computer by mounting the usb storage but nothing exceeds a couple of mbs, anyone knows what can I do?
Someone correct if I´m wrong, but internal storage is not the same thing that shows up on your computer when you plug the phone via USB.

Generally correct.
Now basically our phones have 2 separate storage components. Internal Storage and Internal SD. Internal Storage is ~2gb and is used for Apps & Games. Internal SD is ~12-14gb and is what is detected when you mount usb storage. Int. SD is used for storage of say.. pictures and music and what nots.
Next time please do a search. Or wiki it.
Ok so my internal SD is the one that seems to be full, any ideas on how to fix this?

move some apps to sd card
Transfer your porn to your external sdcard. That's what I do.
The thing is, my storage is NOT full, it only shows that is full I checked and I dont have anything on there!!
Post a screenshot or two of your About>SD&Storage and you'll get more informed answers please
This is what I'm talking about, the usb storage appears as full even though I have absolutely nothing in there

Do you have a lot of nandroid backups? As they are big and stored in the internal sd card.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup is where there stored.

sd card issue
First format your sd card. recopy all of the files to sd card by. plugging your phone into your laptop and clicking mount as disk drive. then looking for the card that is not marked HTC Storage. since their is 2 storage folders since you have internal and external storage now. then with phone open astro, manage files, ext_sd and all of your files should be there. once you have remounted sd card.

[Q] Android phone stopped recognizing my SD card

Here's the deal.
Today I woke up to my phone charging by the night... but it downcharged to 15% of batterry. I reboot it and find out that my SD card showed up info of being "empty". The minitool partition wizard on a PC shows me that info:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
no no, the memory card is 8GB not 32MB.
How to recover the partitions? Also, the SD card has been partitioned for use with app2sd programs with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning, because my phone (HTC Explorer "Pico") has a very small amount of internal memory. The rom was stock though.
Of course I could re-format it, but I don't want to, because the data stored there was very special to me. I want to recover it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
I had that same problem a while back. I unmounted the SD Card and put it in another phone and it still said the same. So I soft reset my first phone, put the SD Card back in, and all was good.

But the card couldn't be recognized on a Linux, on a DMDE, SD Formatter, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, and primary on a TestDisk and on a GParted, and one big nothing was achieved.... You say that if I just soft reset the android phone, everything will be back to normal? Did you had the exactly same problem? You know, I need to clarify things before I do something that could destroy entirely my data.
I didn't have the exact problem just something similar and a soft reset (which will do no harm) worked for me. If the SD card can't be read any other ways then I don't know anything else other than formating the SD card.

SD Card problem

Hello!
First of all, happy new year!
I have a problem with my Honor 7. I have a Toshiba Exceria 128 GB SD Card. When I inserted it, my phone recognized it in the parameters menus but it gave the SD Card a strange name: 1489-D352. And of course /sdcard/ cannot be found...
My configuration:
Honor 7
Build PLK-01C432B380
EMUI 4.0.1
Android 6.0
Til I didn't consider as the main storage place in the parameters, /sdcard/ can be found and it corresponds to internal storage. As soon as I declare the external sd card as the main storage, it starts malfunctionning.
As the name isn't correct, lot of applications can't find SD Card path and I have to set it manually for every application that needs to write on the SD Card.
I formated it in my phone, in my computer, exFAT or NTFS. Started the phone with the SD Card, without it, format it before, after... Nothing changes...
Can you help me, please? And forbid my english as I'm french...
i got toshiba 32 gb sdcard working fine as ext_SdCard.... android 6.0 emui 4.1
Thanks for you answer, Thelous. How does it appear when you want to access to it?

Here is what I have...
have you tried using FAT32 format?
Formatting in FAT32 is impossible from Windows. I opened a Command Windows and I launched "format J: /fs:fat32". But it takes a while to foemat 128 GB ! 3% right now.
I'll come back to give news when it's ready.
Volume is too big for FAT32...
Any other idea ?

my sd card runs on ntfs.... (changed when i was moving 5gb+ files and there was limit)
OK, I formated my sd card with NTFS file format.
If it's not main storage location, it's OK. It's named sdcard and everything is OK... Except that there's only 2GB left on main storage !
As soon as I changed my main storage location to external sd card, everything goes wrong.
But, in the third and last screen capture, you can see what Files (correct application name ???) shows: sd card. Correct name but it's the only place it appears so. In other applications, the sd card is named 9CB87....
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Coucou !
Still no idea ? As it's a real problem for me.
Anytime I insert my new sd card and wait for a while it dissapears and i re-insert but still the same.
i dont know if its my phone but it works ok when am using the pc
