Ok, so with the default behaviour, we will have everything installed on the external SD, but i seriously think this is NOT what external sdcard was meant for.

External should be for what is going to be bigger in size, like MP3 music files, pictures and video, hence the possibility of being bigger in size and, once the external sdcard gets full, swapping them for a new empty spare one.

Internal should be for faster access, programs data and configuration: Info that won't make the internal memory full.... and that cannot be taken away from the phone!!!

I really don't get the way android understand this.... i think its all wrong.. in my opinion.... can anyone prove me wrong or give me a reason why i think wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] Quipper2008:
I think yes.
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
No, the default behaviour right know is as was before. Internal storage as default.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
If you set so, internal will be named as sdcard and external as emmc which is WRONG
[Galaxy S II General] lunatic54:
So the way storage is set now is final?
[Galaxy S II General] ShimaMiku:
Ever since the external and internal memory swaps, my GPS has been very finicky, sometimes it will lock it, but most times it will say "GPS is temporarily unavailable." I've tried both stock kernel and Siyah's as well as with and without the GPS fix. When I boot up maps, the little GPS indicator doesn't even blink like it is trying to find anything (and yes, GPS is on).

Any ideas of how to fix it?

Is there any way to have the internal storage deactivated (as default option) and save photos and videos and files to external sd with the 22 nightly?

With Camera and Camera ICS I cannot make it work.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
OMG please don't start this again, neither way is wrong, having internal mounted as /sdcard is necessary if you don't have an external card or you want app data, camera pics, etc to save to your phone rather than your removable storage.
[Galaxy S II General] lunatic54:
I know everyones tired, but wouldnt it be the best solution to call

Internal = emmc

External = sdcard

and if

Box is ticked tell apps to use internal

Box is unticked tell apps to use external

without changing the names of the mount points.

That way everyone could use storage to his personal taste and the names of the mountpoints would be logical, either way.

What do you think?
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
So, by default, most of you people around here have it as:

Internal: sdcard

External: emmc?

Am I the weird one that wants to have the things named the way they really are?
[Galaxy S II General] genivos:
+1

I can confirm the same under Windows 7, didn't test Ubuntu for now but I bet it will be the same (can't test that atm, traveling for a couple weeks). Was looking through the thread to see if there's anything written about that and found your post. I noticed that copying something from computer to phone actually places it on the right place but it's just listed wrong in a file exporer it seems, not a biggie for me.

For the rest, I'm following this thread with pleasure since the beginning and was patient with installing till the camera was fixed :) Since then, I'm running the Nightlies without problems. It's just great! Traveling by car with phone connected to car by BT, using GPS. All fine. Amazing how stable a Nightly can be. I will never wine about anything, risk is mine to use a Nightly.

Respect for the devs for what they've done so far and for what they have to cope with each day in this and the dev thread ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
It's set that way by default, and it can be all wrong you want, but right now is the only way to get the internal storage to be used by all apps by default. Period.

Now please stop with the whining. It's been like this since the phone was made and no one said anything, because it works. It may be conceptually worng, but it frggin' works, so...
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
+1 to "stop whining" and "it frigging works" :)
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
No, until now it was:

sdcard: External

emmc: Internal

And stuff was installed to internal..... which was the right thing....

Those like me, who were happy with this, now have to cope with the wrong naming.... :/

And some day this will be mainstream, once the RC comes out and the ROM becomes stable... so this is no whining..... i really thiink if this is ANDROID'S standard, its wrong.... or I dont like it or whatever you want.... just my opinion,... of course i will have to deal with it and adapt... and name my internal sdcard as external emmc since i have no choice but going to apple's devices..... which is gay.... LOL... JK... ii'm done with whining and going to re-organize all my filesystems....
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
If you want it that way, then remove the check mark from the box and reboot, then when all your stuff is saved to your removable storage, you will have to live with it, since it is named the way it really is
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
The only issue is that we tried doing it the other way, but that broke some apps. So I'd prefer if we have wrong naming, but with working apps..

What do you prefer? Correct naming, or working apps?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
You are confusing yourself, flash to an old nightly and make sure the check box is empty, then you would see where your mistake lies
[Galaxy S II General] jerryhou85:
Some apps only look for sdcard for installation. That might be the case.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
That is the reason we are changing the mount point names in the first place.. .until now it was working... the thing that was named in a wrong way was in the recovery, which was not a biggie.... now we have correct recovery and wrong daily interface..... i think its worse... but i say again: Not agreeing, but i will have to adapt...if this is CM decission... full stop...

[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
You are actually very wrong.

CM in S2 until this last controversy used sdcard for the internal storage. No one complained. It was just the way it was.

Then, I don't know if it was just codeworkx himself or whatever said "I want to follow the CM standard". And he did it, and set emmc for internal, sdcard for external.

This alowed to have emmc and sdcard correctly named internally for example in CMW, as is right now. If you go to CMW, you'll see that when you clic internal you'll be sent to internal and vice versa.

Before all the caos it was reversed, so you are wrong. Before, it was wrong, now it's right.

But then everyone started complaining because some apps aimed to the sdcard instead of emmc, so he ticked the option (as he called it, the "magic box") that swaps it by default.

You want it to be "right"? Go to the storage options and untick the box. Problem solved, you'll be on CM standard.

But don't complain if some apps point to the external memory because they're hardcoded to aim specifically to sdcard.

You want it to be it has always been? leave the box ticked.

But bottomline, before it was wrong, no it's right, and even more, you can choose whatever the hell you want.

Wifi toggle and wifi working fine
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Do you even know what wifi direct is?
[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
It is ok as long as the default app installation path is the internal storage, because sometimes people might want to boot up the phone without the external sdcard for whatever reason. The name of files doesn't really matter at this point, but of course it is more intuitive to name the external sdcard as sdcard or ext_sdcard because people usually refer to the micro sdcard as sdcard. But again, at this point it doesn't really matter. There are more stuffs needed to be on the priority to fix such as the notification sound bug for our GS2.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
I guess unticking the storage location and reboot, media should than be stored on the external sdcard.
[Galaxy S II General] BlackAndGreyCat:
Compass is buggy since 0419 build, that should be the cause to your gps problems.

[Galaxy S II General] jkel777:
I flashed the 0422 build today, and my gallery is showing double of every folder, even the camera. I have the box ticked by default so internal is mnt/sdcard and external is mnt/emmc. Anybody know how to fix this? It's not really a big deal, just wondering if there was a way to fix it. I'm thinking maybe a factory reset will do the trick? Thanks.

[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Anyone tried flashing a pre-0419 build straight to 0422? Is a full wipe needed? People are saying the latest have the default setting basically where it was before the 0419 mount changes, but others are saying it's not exactly so. A bit confusing to say the least. :/
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
The problem is that wifi direct isn't working and if you say it is then you probably don't even know what it is.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Most of the video codecs that are supported by Samsung and are not supported by CM at the moment are proprietary and therefore can't be ported without potential copyright violations, you can however download movie/music players from the Play Store which will play these formats for you.

[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yes they do, Quadrants can easily be manipulated by tweaks to the governor, etc... giving you unrealistic scores.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:

[Galaxy S II General] Snaydher:
Fellas, I'm comparing 2 night builds... common
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yup, if you want it on internal make sure Use Internal is ticked, if it wasn't you'll need to reboot after.
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
They do. ATI and nVidia tweak/optimize (ie. cheat) their drivers to get higher benchmark scores, and they've been doing it for years. It's not an indication of actual in-game performance, that's why hardware enthusiasts usually frown upon 3DMark and the likes of it. But we're getting slightly off-topic here. :p

I use Dataswitch from the market to enable/disable data as needed, switch to Wifi when i get home, etc. Maybe ive been lucky or the fact I toggle data as needed avoids the issues others are having.

Other than the obvious bugs and a few games not working, the latest build is fine for me.

[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
Ok, so I want all the photos and videos I take to be stored on my external card, which is a 32GB class 10 by the way...so on latest nightly I unticked the magic box in order to have all my data stored on my external sdcard, but the problem is that I can't find their apk under /data/app so where are they installed when I unckeck the magic box? I know that they are installed on the external sdcard, but where?

Oh, and I choose to install all my apps on the external sdcard because lots of games I have like FIFA 12, real racing 2 and modern combat 3 uses a lot of storage on the internal memory, so I can't have more than 10 heavy games because there is no enough space, and that's why I moved their data to the external sdcard in order to have some internal storage free...

I've found "btmono" for this issue but it is not compatible with CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
I don't know...all I want is to have all my apps, photos, videos, and specially the games data to be stored on the external card because it's bigger than the internal, like I said before I have a 32GB external card, so I can install lots of heavy games now if I can download their data into the external card. That's why I unticked the magic box button, but what I don't understand is why some apps and games doesn't appear under /data/app when installed like they always did...

In example, I downloaded trial extreme 2 winter edition from Google play, and everything works fine (remember I have the magic box unticked) but where the hell is the apk of the game stored? ? It is not under /data/app and that's what I want to know...where is it?
