You will have eventually to either get used to this swap, or change rom. That simple. I think CM will not come back. However when Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() method, gets fixed somehow (I guess it is already fixed), it will be normal.
[Galaxy S II General] Kung-Fu-Tse:
nice advertising for your ... rom :mad: :mad: :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I can deal with the other issues, i just want the Play Store to install apps to the internal storage by default, without having to invert emmc and sdcard
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Camera and Gallery do not work. I don't get why would they merge something that blows the whole phone? I would be ok with the change as long as Camera and Gallery would work. I do not care where the hell the internel is.

Edit: Settings->Storage->*Hit MENU Button*->Storage Configuration->*TICK*

It should be ticked by default, btw. Not all of us have EXTERNAL cards. =) Every stuff should be installed in the INTERNAL storage BY DEFAULT.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Read the FAQ, if you dont have an external card, do what codeworkx says to do in there.
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
Being the "we prefer internal memory both labeled emmc AND set as default storage" stand apparently unanimous, I guess is valid to ask:

devs, are you going to set it like that, or are you going to leave it as it is right now?
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00150:
is there a way to flash a new recovery that is used in rom manger by hand so not from rom manger itself?

I´m having problems using rom manger for flashing with the new storage emmc settings. rom manager itself sees the /emmc but if I select a file to flash the rom manger recovery tries to flash it from /sdcard and fails.

any hint? THANKS
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Amazing! Now my albums are fukken doubled in Gallery. Pretty awesome merge. What's next? It will double up the resolution of our display? :P

Edit: NVM, got it fixed. Shame I do not have on my hometown my 2GB microSD. xD
[Galaxy S II General] D4rKn3sSyS:
WTF? Im just saying, if you CANT live with it, you better get another ROM, not mine, but any other that have that change reverted.

Also, if you build from source your own nightlies (I wish every users did that, then it will not be people crying like babies because of people trying to help) you can just

git reset --hard 61bb9acdf155d946a57b5ce8cbf9745e4696fd59

And then apply all the changes, except the swipe sdcard.

Anyway, I find easier, Settings > storage > options > sawp thingy

Codeworkx, TeamHacksung, and the rest of CM team, are doing it great.

Ill sumbit soon a patch to prompt to reboot when swap sdcard option gets checked / unchecked.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Also, with the latest merge, Google's Play Music doesn't display the albums' artworks. codeworkx's build of 19th April did. Just in case.
[Galaxy S II General] rlorange:
Anyone not wanting to download hundreds of MBs of data for gameloft games which are wigging out by the emmc/sdcard switch?

Try this:

Restore a titanium backup of the app and data made before the mounting switch.

Do not launch the app! Using root explorer goto: data/data find your game directory. In shared pref there is an XML with the data folder path. Simply edit and change sdcard to emmc
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
Another fix for storage incoming (read the comments from the devs too). See change "Ie0976792: use internal storage by default" at "review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14960/"

use internal storage by default

- should stop people that don't have an external SD to complain on

fresh install or data wipe...

Change-Id: Ie0976792a8651bfd21dec56939b116a7b539cf15

I too prefer "emmc" to be the internal memory card, "sdcard" to be the external memory card and all apps to install by default to the internal memory card mapped to "emmc".

Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I cherry picked this, it doesn't appear to do what you think it will. At least it didn't seem to do anything for me at all, but I have an external memory card.
[Galaxy S II General] kowcop:
I am so confused.. I don't care what the mounts are called an all that, I can get used to it.. but ES file explorer is still showing the mounts the wrong way around.

It shows /mnt/emmc as the SD Card and the mdt/sdcard as the extended internal storage..

I will try a full wipre
[Galaxy S II General] anthony151:
Sigh... Whatever happened to research and reading... Oh well, codeworkx did say there was going to be a lot of crying over it.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
I'd really like for the default behavior to be JUST like it was in earlier builds. And then a configurable toggle for whatever everyone else wants :P
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
It works EXACTLY as codeworkx said it would. No one is saying that the implementation is buggy.

We are saying that a lot of us agree with "emmc" being internal memory and "sdcard" being a physical card. However, when you pick this option, you are FORCED to have the physical card be the default installation spot. Most of us only use the physical card for music, videos, backups (sms, etc.), not for application data (eg. installations).

If you don't want the physical card to be the default installation spot, you have to change the mount points which puts "emmc" as the physical card and "sdcard" as the internal card. In other words, it takes you back 2 days ago to Samsung's bad labeling.

All we are asking for is for "emmc" to be the internal memory, "sdcard" to be the physical card AND "emmc" (internal memory) to be the default installation spot.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
+1 exactly this.

Having stuff that is downloaded from Google Play installed on /mnt/sdcard by default is having odd consequences where apps are installed but don't get loaded correctly so the data is there but after a reboot the app appears to not be installed (see earlier in the thread), this is really the only issue I have, if that is supposed to be the default functionality (which I find hard to believe) then I'll learn how to deal with it.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
I believe that Play Music not showing the albums' artwork is a bug.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
clear the data on your media storage, that will probably fix that problem.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Didn't. :P instead, it pwned my Gallery. :P
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The gallery should rebuild itself, try clearing it again then do a reboot so media scanner runs again, that should fix the gallery too.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Already done. Nothing. :C
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
As in google music is still broken? or your gallery is broken also?
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Sorry if it's been covered. As per the FAQ's:

If you do not own a microsd card, then you have to switch the mountpoints.

You can switch the mountpoints at systemsettings->storage->storage configuration.

Switching to "use extended internal storage" has the following result:

/mnt/emmc = external sdcard

/mnt/sdcard = internal storage

Do a reboot after switching, otherwise the setting doesn't get applied!!!

So I chose that option, rebooted and now Gallery doesn't work (No external storage available), and Camera asks to insert an SD card.

Any way to fix this? After a reboot, I went into storage configuration and the option wasn't ticked. (I tried ticking / unticking and reboot), same thing.

I even tried re-flashing CM9, clear cache and dalvik cache. Same issue.

Edit: Fixed. I re-ticked it again and rebooted (3rd time lucky I guess), and all is well again. So it now reads: Use Internal Storage (Using expanded internal storage for apps and media).

So the gallery and camera are all working again. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Gallery is fine. =) It's just that Google Play Music won't show the artwork. :S Never had a problem before.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
As long as my advice didn't break it worse :)
[Galaxy S II General] Fabriciohss:
Same happened here. Followed codeworkx's advice to do a clean install again, formatting data, and now things are fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Ah okay. I fixed mine without a clean install. Will do a nandroid backup now all is well. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Appumon123:
Photo effects

This is not a bug report, just checking if others are having the same issue. I searched the thread but didn't find a reference to this:

When i apply effects like lomo to a picture using 'edit' option, i just get a big circle in the middle of the picture. Is it the same case with you?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
After looking at this for far too long, I'm wondering if this is the problem:

In the initial commit: Change If7e5dc28: galaxys2: switch mountpounts of sdcards to match cm standard

lpm.rc line 9 & 10 were changed and the variable PHONE_STORAGE was renamed to SECONDARY_STORAGE

The same lines were changed again in:

Change I71edca3f: galaxys2: fix global environment defines for storage

but the SECONDARY_STORAGE variable remains

Could this be the cause? looking at some other lpm.rc files from other devices (yes, i'm aware that it may not be the same and/or they aren't using the CM standard storage mounts) all contain PHONE_STORAGE and none contain SECONDARY_STORAGE, at least from what I can see.
[Galaxy S II General] CA3iR0:
It's working perfectly with me!
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Good updates. Nice to see we step by step getting closer to Real Android experience with our bloody Samsunginized phone :-)

Nice to see new commiters in cm team.

Thanks all cm team, please do what you need to bring Real Android to sgs2 and please don't be confused about crying here or there - just do what you need, people will understand later that all this - just for them :-)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] marcosxd:
what's with the new nightly? anyone tested it yet?

EDIT: nvm it's cm7 haha my bad
[Galaxy S II General] anthony151:
But it shouldn't be a problem...

When you first flash the nightly that introduces your problem the first thing you do is tick the box reboot and problem solved...

I know some people won't know to do this but when you're messing about with experimental operating systems this is the sort of thing that will happen.

I imagine codeworkx made it like this is because AOSP is like this also and he's just bringing CM9 in line with the standard way of doing things.

One thing that should be done is making that option the default when no sd card is found but otherwise I would consider it normal since I imagine most people (myself included) buy a memory card to increase app storage space.

Samsung is the one that messed everyone's perception of things by making sd cards good for only storing music and pictures with no option to make it for apps which is ridiculous and more than a little stupid on their part.
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
I get the same. I messeged XploDWild about this long ago. The circle comes in Vignette and some other filters which focus on the center of the picture.
[Galaxy S II General] CA3iR0:
Thanks! :D
[Galaxy S II General] fyre31:
does anyone know how to fix this? i like to play music using earphones when i travel. but lately every time i get a new message or notification (as long as the notification sound plays) the music stops (or rather its volume becomes so low its almost impossible to hear). i have to press the volume buttons or pause-resume the music everytime to fix it. is everyone else experiencing the same problem? i'm sorry if this has been posted already i just didn't know what to put in the search box exactly :)
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
Many of us are facing the issue.

"notification volume" will be a nice search term :P
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Yes, probably good one issue to fix next IMHO.

Really annoying one.
[Galaxy S II General] bencairns:
I flashed 20/4 after backing up my internal and external sd to pc, full wipe, format both internal and external sd. Didnt want to use external sd for apps so I checked use internal in the storage settings as my external sd is small and slow. After reinstalling my apps I found some were using the internal and some were using the external plus the camera kept asking for sd card, few games wernt showing up properly. Wasnt happy with that so i figured why not just remove the external sd from the phone and start fresh, full wipe, format internal sd again, wipe caches, and reinstall all my apps and setup the phone and guess what everything worked as it did previous to the 19/4 build.

For anyone who wants to continue using the internal sd as they always have maybe this is the best solution. It is easy to copy stuff back to the internal from the backup on the pc. You could probably copy your TB files back and restore apps that way but I didnt try so that so dont blame me if it dosnt work properly.

One thing I havent tried yet is to reinsert the external sd. I have a feeling that it may start messing with things again (camera asking for sd card, etc). For now, I dont need it so Ill leave it out. If someone wants to test that, let us know
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
Im having a problem with the media scanner

Well i have no photos in my library and no music in the music app

I did wipe the media storage data but still nothing
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
Everytime i reboot my phone, some apps are uninstalled..any fix on this guys?
[Galaxy S II General] Deanemau5:
Okay I feel like the biggest noob - accidentally downloaded the cm7 nightly and installed it whilst Diablo 3 beta distracted me...

So I tried to restore the backup I did during the installation and everything is messed up... tried wiping settings and restoring the backup again with no luck.

Am I going to have to do a fresh install? :|

Restored another backup from a week ago and it seems to be working fine - any ideas if I can get today's backup working? Half the apps etc don't work, all the settings and default programs have changed etc... :(
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
I had to go back to April 19th build. Will update back to latest nightly once emmc/sdcard probs are addressed. :)
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
You have not yet understood what is being said, what people are saying is that once an SD Card exists, apps are putting their data there, what we want is for apps to put all their data on emmc, not on SD Card.

I want all my apps and data on emmc and for me to do this I have to unmount the SD Card, install and setup the app, then remount the SD Card, I have done it a couple times and it works, but it is not ideal, if I don't, then as soon as I unmount the SD Card, when I run apps, they are not functioning at all or reporting that some features will not be available since "sdcard" is missing, this is not ideal, when you have a device with so much space available on emmc to have limited functionality when/if you have to remove the SD Card.

And bare in mind I am not talking about games here with huge amounts of data, simple/small apps are storing some of their data on SD Card, if the card gets corrupted or you have to format or replace it, then true crying will begin

Oh, BTW I totally agree with the mount points as they are now, this is the way it is supposed to me and it should NOT be changed back to the "Samsunged" version, the few posts on this particular issue is just to highlight a small issue, which, I have not yet figured out is a app design issue, or if the app is being given the information from the ROM when it is called for
[Galaxy S II General] echohack:
Is this only me or is mms never working. Been on cm9 for about 1 month now, had the same problem on cm7 on my disire and i was never able to fix it for maybe 1 year. Switch to samsung based it workes right away.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Have you checked your MMS setup in the APN's listing?
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
The card implementation has errors, please see attached Print Screens :rolleyes:

1st screen:

Internal storage is my external card, 14 Gb of music, SD card is the internal card, OK, I choose this optin in Settings/Storage

2nd screen:

I opened Internal storage on the PC, it shows SD card contents, including the nightly I copied

3rd screen:

On the phone the nightly is on EMMC
[Galaxy S II General] Deanemau5:
Off topic - where is that photo taken and who is the chick? :o
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Just reinstall all apps installed on SD or better move them to phone.

Easy.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Luanda, Angola, unfortunately I dont know her :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
Did that but still if i reboot it will be uninstalled again..
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
MMS has always been slighty borked up in CM, this is the issue tracker for it: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3241

MMS doesn't really work if you have a seperate APN specifically for MMS. Having wifi on can cause MMS's to not be able to be sent or recieved.
[Galaxy S II General] Boonyard:
Just did a fresh install, but now have no market!

Installing latest gapps didn't help.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] saltmine:
Screenshot: http://i42.tinypic.com/348gdnd.jpg

The photos, media, apps, etc are listed as being on a 8GB drive, which is the size of my external. However, these files are actually on the internal SD.

Photos are going to my internal card, as they should, since I checked the option and rebooted. So I'm guessing that whatever is checking for "total space" is looking in the opposite place?

Log:

D/MountService(1989): got storage path: /mnt/emmc description: Internal Storage primary: true removable: false emulated: false mtpReserve: 0 allowMassStorage: true maxFileSize: 0

D/MountService(1989): got storage path: /mnt/sdcard description: SD Card primary: false removable: true emulated: false mtpReserve: 0 allowMassStorage: true maxFileSize: 0

Shouldn't /mnt/sdcard/ be the "primary" storage when the option is ticked in storage config?
[Galaxy S II General] CA3iR0:
Same happening with me...
[Galaxy S II General] ikanikolai:
Workaround. Install the apps, move them to the phone and now you can restart w/o loosing your apps. I hope Codeworkx fix this bug in the next nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
No problems here.

Move from SD to phone 2 apps, and all OK.

What exactly apps you have problems?

[Galaxy S II General] Ramelov:
I think that there is some problem with secure container in the latest nightly. I have external sd card which is mounted as sd card after installing latest nightly. I've changed nothing in 'storage configuration'. Some apps which were installed on internal sd card now mounted as emmc have vanished from application drawer and are recognised as not installed in Play Store. I have '.Android secure' folders both on internal and external card. It's empty on the external card. So I just reinstalled for example Where's My Water app and expected than it will be placed in android secure folder on the external card mounted as 'sd card' but that didn't happen. The folder on external card was still empty. Where's my water was working until I rebooted the phone. There's something wrong with installing to secure container on the external card which is supposed to be default now and it's not happening.

So do you guys have market?
[Galaxy S II General] KerryG:
Did you flash the gapps?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Disconnect phone, pull battery, insert it again, restart download mode, restart odin and try again.
[Galaxy S II General] CA3iR0:
One of them is a theme from go launcher that kept uninstalling himself until I moved it to the phone memory.

Other is a game (find differences), other is Picplz. These are the apps that I remember...

Thank god for TB! :D
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Yes, and works perfect :-)

So, before install from go to mounts - format System.

After install update, after gapps.

If not helped, go to settings - apps - all - market.

Stop it, clear data.

Should help.
[Galaxy S II General] CA3iR0:
Yes. Install gapps and gappsfixer after installing any ROM.

Hi codeworkx!

Are you working on the SD card app install souliton? It looks like, the problem is that the external card is the default and the internal should be.

Just pick the ~120MB one an you should be good. The build server messes up the file sizes sometimes.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:

if you can't test and try new and perhaps broken stuff in a nightly where else

Heh.. I get what you're trying to say.. But breaking **** just to change mount points (which does not really affect anything anyway, just affects convention) does not sound right to me :(
