after upgrading to #21 with factory reset i can't install apps from market! tried to tick/ untick storage settings reboot+install and still can't install either way..

the only apps I have are the ones I successfully restored with TB!
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Apologies, only the first part of the post was meant as a reply to u
[Galaxy S II General] Anfloyd:
So can someone please just confirm one thing for me before I do another factory reset. The configuration that we see now in the 21st nightly (sdcard, emmc) is the way it's gonna stay?! Just a simple yes or no... Please!

It's experimental software, nobody can guarantee that a full wipe isn't required with every install, just because it hasn't been in the past doesn't mean it won't be in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
It's not a "yes" or "no" answer.

If you tick "Use Internal Storage" (the default option under 4/21), the embedded memory will be mapped to "/mnt/sdcard" and a MicroSD card will be mapped to "/mnt/emmc". All apps and their data will install on the embedded memory card at "/mnt/sdcard".

If you untick "Use Internal Storage", the embedded memory will be mapped to "/mnt/emmc" and a MicroSD card will be mapped to "/mnt/sdcard". All apps will install on the MicroSD card at "/mnt/sdcard".
[Galaxy S II General] Anfloyd:
Thanks for the reply. This is the clearest answer posted in the last 24 hours!
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
The 'apps disappearing after a reboot' problem is a problem with asec containers as codeworkx mentioned, so he's already on top of it (or will be at some point). If you install an app which then disappears after a reboot look in the /mnt/secure/asec folder and you will see the app is still there, the phone just isn't linking to it properly for some reason.

Is there a solution for save photos or videos on internal sd card after tick that famous option?

[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
You made a mistake in this part...

....and a MicroSD card will be mapped to "/mnt/sdcard". (micro = sdcard)

....will install on the MicroSD card at "/mnt/emmc" (micro = emmc)

I think the last path should be /mnt/sdcard.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
back to 4/14 until the sdcard thing is finalized.

I also experienced gyroscope problems even after calibration (on 4/20 build).

- In map with GPS ON, the arrow rotates irrespective of device movement

- In Chrome Beta, the tabs no longer slide up and down when you tilt your phone

Anyone with this problem?

When looking at files in Astro:

Storage location :

Ticked = internal sdcard = mnt/emmc

Unticked = external sdcard = mnt/sdcard

Will this be reversed with the next nightly?
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
Yes, it's a known issue. Since the samsung sensor hal was replaced by an open source one, in the official 0419 build.

Accelerometer and compass both don't work properly.

Codeworkx test build 0419 don't has this issues, nor any of the other issues mentioned here since 04.19. I'll stick to that one for now.
[Galaxy S II General] lukepev:
OK this is starting to get beyond a joke now!!!

First of all 19th nightly changed it so that....

internal memory = emmc

External memory = sdcard

BUT under storage options it was unticked by default saying that apps and media would be installed to sdcard

Which was incorrect as it should have been ticked by default saying they are on internal storage! Since apps a pics were landing on emmc.

So now I install 21st nightly.

This is supposed to fix the above so that its ticked to say installed on internal by default.

AND it is fixed

ONLY now internal is back to being called sdcard and external is emmc? And unticking the box makes the mount points switch names as fixed in 19th.

Come on guys there's too much confusion going on.

Why don't we just make it nice and simple the way it should be...

Internal storage = emmc or internal_storage

External storage = sdcard or external_storage

The latter making it easiest for everyone.

AND by default the default storage is ALWAYS internal!

That's how simple it is!

Who agrees please?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
It's no joke, it's a nightly. The developers are still experimenting with things.

Edit: But i do agree. :)
[Galaxy S II General] shumo:
lol FFS !

it is exactly the oposite for me

when it is ticked the microsd is sdcard and embendded is emmc :)))

nice :D
[Galaxy S II General] lukepev:
I think the last line should say ...

All apps will install on the MicroSD card at "/mnt/sdcard" not emmc
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
I agree and said the same thing a few times before:

I had hoped that it would be changed this way but it has not happened yet.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
This is correct, i just look at the android secure file in astro or another file manager, that is (micro) external sdcard
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
So simple its a wonder nobody thought of it already.....

The reason that the default storage is having to be called /sdcard is because some app developers have hardcoded that path into their applications rather than programming a request to find what the phone deems to be internal and external storage. Its partly their fault and partly Samsung for originally making /sdcard the mount point for the internal sdcard.

The way it is now is fine if not entirely correct naming wise. emmc is meant to be Embedded Multi Media Card, but can everyone just pretend that it means: EXTERNAL Multi Media Card and just forget about it:p
[Galaxy S II General] pseudonim:
haha true. Now then we will just need those zappers from Men in Black to erase this whole "emmc" being an internal memory cards from our heads!

Go to settings, apps, all apps, google play store, select it and clear data and open playstore. Close it and reopen it again and it should be solved.
[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
Anyone else confused when checking out these folders and their size with a root file manager:

mnt/emmc/.android_secure or mnt/sdcard/.android_secure

mnt/mnt/asec

mnt/mnt/secure/asec

:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] ikanikolai:
I checked my log (about apps disappearing)

If I'm correct, when Google Play install using:

/mnt/mnt/secure/asec

When I move to SD, using:

/mnt/mnt/asec

I'm not a developer but I think the problem is somewhere here.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
That`s right, codeworkx is aware of that and will provide a solution (hopefully soon :D). For the time beeing: uninstall apps that cannot be opened, reinstall them again and then move to the phone (emmc :)). Than they will open, even after a reboot.

But this is not a problem on 0414 nightly. I just don't understand what's wrong with exchanging internal/external SD.
[Galaxy S II General] A$h x:
So we have to go back to the incorrect naming convention because some lazy devs used absolute paths in their apps? TBH we shouldn't repeat the same moronic mistake that samsung made, but I guess people with apps that refuse to work unless internal storage is named "sdcard" are **** out of luck without it.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
There seems to be a problem with mnt/secure/asec. The installed app cannot be linked to this directory and so cannot open.

Im not following this thread everyday and someone may already have said that, but i will anyway.

Like it used to happen in CM7, it seems that removing your stored photos and videos ends up with the overheating and consequent battery drain. Its this tricky media manager again. Just back up and reestart your gallery from the scratch. The pictures that you take after doing this wont mess the media manager no more...

I've installed CM9 (01122012) and it looks amazing! Flashed gapps, face unlock, google music and KP8 modem.

I've run into a big problem for me though. My phone is not recognizing my internal SD. I've tried reflashing, doing wipe (data, cache, dalvik). Tried rebooting and tried doing this in a couple of combinations.

Any suggestions?

+1 on dis.. I tried mounting USB storage in cwm to backup b4 a full wipe but nthg happens.. I can't use MTP or UMS properly either to backup both internal & external memory.. So gonna wait for 2 or 3 more nightlies for a possible fix..
[Galaxy S II General] eradicator006:
I agree with this post 100%. I think CM9 should be set up the "right way". Internal card at emmc, external sdcard at sdcard and the primary storage set to emmc. If certain apps break then it should be up to the app dev to fix it. There is no reason the app devs should be using absolute paths. There is a function in the sdk that will tell them where the default storage device is (or is it a variable? Sorry, I'm not a programmer and don't know the right terms).

[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Same here. Usually happens when you fall in water/hit a tree/etc., or during the intro logo. Logcat shows some sort of audio initialization at that moment. I also noticed that the music app tends to freeze the phone sometimes, so I think both issues are related to the audio driver.

OK so I'm confused as f*** ... I'm on the 13 April build before any of this memory changing started and have been following what's been happening a bit... have downloaded the last 3 builds but didn't install because I wasn't finding the time to do a full wipe of everything... so now today it seems the format of memory has been changed back to original form...

So my question is... if we never reverted to the previous few night lies... do we need to still do a full wipe to instal this 21st April build...??

I'm a very generous thanker so please do reply someone :p:D

[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Ok, I'm going mad:

I know all the things about the recent swap from internal to external storage and so...

Today i did a full wipe... and under System Settings -> Storage -> Storage Configuration, i have the option UNchecked... "Using SD Card for apps and media"

This way, titanium backup recognizes the mount points as they should be: Internal and external as such....

Under storage configuration in settings, all looks as it should be.

If i check the option under System Settings -> Storage -> Storage Configuration "Using expanded external storage for apps and media" the system and Titanium Backup report all the sizes wrong... the emmc device is the sdcard and the sdcard is really emmc...

My question is: Is this the way it should be or is it going to change/get fixed in the next version(s)?

Im kind of going mad about this, i didn't read the last ten pages since i have been out of home for 6 hours and not able to check on the internet (this thread grows really fast) and i have been doing all by the book: Doing a full system wipe for the update....

Can someone please shed some light and clarify this for once and for all?

I restore User apps plus their config... not system apps or config..

I mean, i only restore the apk files plus those apps config... which is impossible to be the reason for getting the mount point switched again!!!

At least, that's what i think ... its a logic thing, isn't it? Restoring these things, its impossible to get in trouble, imho....
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
User apps are the problem, restoring their data is restoring pointers that point to the old storage locations, you either need to know how to fix the pointers yourself, or install fresh with no data restore, only ways to do it.

So, in a nutshell:

If i want to have the stuff installed on the internal memory and keep the SDcard basically for my personal usage (Copy movies or music to it and make the system be completely independent from it in order to function correctly) i will allways have emmc mapped to sdcard and the sd card mapped to mmc?
