As someone who also lives in Florida, I'm really not surprised by your post. Floridians seem to ignore even the most basic directions notes. This is a "Nightly" that means things WILL change. Sometimes things that change will break things. If you aren't willing to tolerate the fact that things MIGHT break, then stick with a ROM that won't change on possibly a daily basis. Stick with the Stock ROM and just root it.

Just because you give feedback doesn't mean they will take it right now. Keep in mind they keep stating that this is not a place for a bug report. Post a bug if you want that doesn't mean they will make a note of it. The fact is, they know the most glaring bugs and they are taking a proper coding approach. Fix the biggest issues/bugs then go for the simple things. They changed the mount points clearly based off feedback from people having issues. Really, while it sucks you had to download again, the changes they made are better in the long run.

Try clearing the Media Storage data and letting the media scanner rescan your storage, this might solve the problem for you.

Actually, 4/19 and 4/20 fix an issue with CM that has existed for a very long time including most iterations of CM7, now I can understand your frustration, but there is a lot of code to go through and make sure that there are no hardcoded or incorrect mount locations remaining, since the code has been done and modified by a fairly large number of people over the years some things are not up to the current CM standard, the change on 4/19 fixed most of them, but not too surprisingly a couple got missed and another change was merged into the 4/20 build. Does this mean that all the issues with storage that could crop up are fixed? absolutely not, it could very well be totally screwed up on the next nightly again, but that's the nature of the beast, nightly builds are for widespread testing, the devs do some limited testing before anything is merged, but Android as an OS is full of quirks that may never appear on a developer test phone, I know one of my GS2s behaves differently compared to the other on occasion simply because they were manufactured on different days, If you don't like it, stick with one from pre 4/19 until you're sure all the changes are done, when will this be? 12/24/2045 so you'll be waiting a while, until then either deal or go ahead to a different ROM that better suits your needs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
It appears now that the actual mount changes have taken place we have some confused apps and settings. Seems that when certain apps were installed they used an absolute path and now that the mounts have changed you will see these apps continue to write there (now your removable storage.) So things are going to be a bit confusing for some people. Have not done it yet but I assume wiping your device and starting fresh will resolve these issues. This was a substantial base change that had to happen at some point.

Some ringtones are stored in /sdcard/media/notifications.

Id still try to move the files from one card to the other...

Read the changelog >.>

No one really cares about who you are or what you do and have done. Next time make a simple suggestion to simply warn people (Which is already in the changelog)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I actually wiped my data + cache, did a factory reset, and all that jazz, both before and after flashing the latest nightly. I guess the problem still exists. I also made sure not to restore from Titanium Backup, since I'm sure app data still has old paths in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Hmm. After 4/20 my sdcard won't mount at all. Anyone else or bad flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
OK I'm still on 04/17 and was getting ready to move ahead with the new mount points and all that... What does monsieurtalbot mean that the mount points were changed again in 04/20? I just went through the change logs and the only mount stuff was the change on 04/19???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Biporch:
They are in same state as you have it right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Ahh cool thanks for the info! 04/20 here we go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
So interesting thing. With the newest 4/20 version, I no longer can press the spacebar twice to input a period. I checked the settings can't find it. Maybe the setting is somewhere else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mharmon:
I never noticed that before - what keyboard and app are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
That's not what I wanted to hear :( Thanks for the report!

edit - http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14944/ Is this not the fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
Stock. Worked under 4/19. I type full sentences in email and text and love that shortcut, makes life so easy.

EDIT: Cleared the Keyboard data and it now works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I thought it might be, too. But 4/20 totally borked my install. And I'd even done a full wipe for 4/19 before I installed 4/20. Personally, I reverted to 4/17 and am probably going to give it a little time to get sorted out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] breeves002:
With all the hype over the storage changes with 4/20 I'm really having no issues. I'm actually quite happy. Only thing is it made a new screenshots folder, etc... oh well.

Keep up the good work dev's! I love cm9!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BWheezy:
Apparently 4/20 ROMs cause memory loss like other 4/20 things... My phone appears to have full wiped when I installed it... I think I'm going to wait a few days until things shake out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mharmon:
I wish I could get Swype to do that!

Overall, I'm really loving this ROM - a big improvement over CM7. Quite impressive at this early stage of development, given the obstacles presented.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
Once this gets merged it should resolve the issue and we can clean up our removable storage cards ;)

Dude, stop being a complete and utter douchebag. Perform what in front of thousands of "fans"? Oral sex on a donkey? Task has probably helped out more in one post than your whopping 5 years on xda. Stop being a ****. ..here endeth my rant. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
Just to let everyone know. The NFC is 100x more functional than the forward port was. If you're contemplating a full wipe, just do it.

With the NFC "patch", whenever I would scan my tag to leave my house (turn off wifi, open play music, all volumes 100%) it would only turn off wifi. I thought it was a limitation of the device or something.

Well, I just scanned the tag using the NFC that's now included in CM9 and everything happened as planned.

I am very excited and glad that I stopped being such a baby about wiping. It really didn't take that long thanks to appextractor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beardroid:
Sweet.

Every night I read all your comments and rarely feel the need to say anything and

I know that comments based solely upon an opinion about CM9 Nightly are frowned upon, but I just have to advocate for the developers against some people here who just don't get it. The whole idea of CM9 is that it is a work in progress, and every time we update, we may run into problems that when we report, helps the developers improve it all. I think this is the most awesome community. Thanks all for all you do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KJ7409:
Ok I'm a little confused, coming from 4/17 to 4/20. My external SD is now acting as an internal SD? but what about everything from my internal SD? Should I just copy everything from my internal SD to the external one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
Yup. I leave the default apn and I get 1-3 mob down. I put in the phone apn and get 4-7. For me, in Chicago burbs it makes a difference. Yrmv.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
No your external sd is acting how it should now. It was wrong previously lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
Well certainly some interesting reading lately. About the only thing I hope for in nightly builds is that the boot loader stays safe. And I say hope lightly because these are development builds. If stability is what is wanted there are plenty of other options to choose from.

That being said, I personally have found cm9 progressively better and better. Keep up the good work gents!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KJ7409:
I'm still pretty confused, idk. stuff is going onto external instead of internal. I don't care too much. i'll just move the stuffs or whatever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mll4eveR.:
I guess you can move the stuff to wherever directory you want, but the thing is your phone wouldn't be able to recognize the directory you moved your stuff and will still save data on the folder your data (which you moved already) originally stored.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
I have the same problem, sometimes I have to watch to make sure they send, even SMS sometimes. I wish I knew if it was handcent, I guess a easy test would be to use the stock messaging to send a text but it's so plain that I can't. Lol any ideas would help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Reading the stuff for the next nightly, it looks like the default is getting swapped back to internal sd card again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If you need that kind of handholding, you should NOT be running NIGHTLIES.

PERIOD.

Stop *****ing or go get yourself some Touchjizz handholding from Samsung, or wait for an actual RC release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
I need some hand holding :(

I seem to be storing cache files on my removable storage, anyone else seeing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
That was due to the 4/20 nightly from what I can tell. That's where the new nightly setting the internal SD as default comes into play. Someone else can correct me if I am wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HellBunny:
Just flashed 4/21. Now the internal card mount point reverse back to sdcard and the external card mount point is emmc. The Android storage property now thinks the external card is internal storage and vice versa.

Is this a glitch and will go back to 4/20 configuration in later build?

Entropy/Task - was reading other gerrit commit noted for the 4/21 storage change but the old brain here couldn't grasp what they meant. If you feel like sharing your thoughts on it I know myself and probably others would find it enlightening. As always thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] switters1:
I have a practical question:

4/13 was great for me-- fantastic battery life,etc. The only problem was GPS was fubar

4/17 fixed GPS, but battery and compass now are not so great.

I would love to roll back to 4/13 but is there any way to make the GPS changes myself separately without flashing a new nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Change Ie0976792: galaxys2: use internal storage by default

Does the same thing as going to Settings->Storage->Storage Configuration and ticking Use Internal Storage, just does it by default after a full wipe so that people with no external SD don't get errors in camera, gallery, etc...

Change I12231312: galaxys2: change storage description for internal sdcard to sdcard

This is just a visual change of the name for /emmc to sd_card as it displays in Settings->Storage->Storage Configuration and possibly other places

Hopefully this clears it up, it is by no means a revert of previous changes just a few updates/corrections to functionality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bikeracer4487:
So, I'm having trouble flashing CWM on this phone. This is my brother's phone as I myself have a GT-I9100 that already has CM9, but I can't seem to get this phone working with the computer in download mode. "Samsung Composite" or "Gadget Serial" never shows up in zadig and I can find no indication that the phone's connected to the computer while it's in download mode. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HellBunny:
Thx for the explanation. However, the mount points did get reverted after flashing 4/21. Removable storage is mounted on /mnt/emmc. Internal storage is /mnt/sdcard. Is it happening on my phone only?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
If you wiped or you hadn't ticked the Internal Storage option, the first change probably ticked it for you, just untick it and reboot, problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
Just a quick tip. Siyah keeps the emmc and sdcard the same. I flash Siyah on top and my storage stays the same.

make sure you have the proper drivers installed. they are probably different. the best way to go about it is to put it in DL mode and connect it. if nothing pops up go to device manager and figure out which device it is. then delete the device. install pdanet (can uninstall after but does a good job with drivers) then connect phone and it should show installing device drivers... as to the program you are using i have never heard of it and dont know if it is compatible with i777

probably. but it would take forever. if you'd like you can look at gerrit for a code review and also the source tree. you wont be able to get the kernel stuff without taking the kernel from the other rom (should handle wifi but then again...) the other changes are probably system files and can be done with a text editor. but any driver changes will be lost. to be honest it is way more trouble than its worth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
Have you downloaded and installed samsung kies?? it installs the device drivers for it then it should be recognized by the pc correctly... had to do this for mine in the beginning hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
You can, but you'd have to build it from source, and you'd have to have some fairly solid knowledge of how git works, after a bunch of searching, i managed to build CM9 for I9100 without the sdcard changes, you basically have to revert the changes back to the one that causes you a problem, then pull the ones you want back after. If you want to do it, look up how to build from source on the cyanogen wiki, then learn how to revert/cherry pick git changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
For those who have the car dock or custom-made car dock cable, you may have noticed the the Samsung Vlingo app that comes on the stock ROM isn't included in a lot of ROMs (including CM9). I find that the Samsung one is actually more useful to me as it accepts commands over my in-car bluetooth or bluetooth headset. The actual Vlingo app does not work with bluetooth headsets. I've attached here the official Samsung Vlingo voice command app (used to be voicetogo.apk back on GB). I wish someone had posted this for me when I was looking for it, so here's to the next guy. This APK was pulled from Tasks's official AT&T ICS leak. Just push it to system/app and reboot and you should be good to go!

P.S. It's a .zip file in order to conform to the forum's upload limitations. Just extract it from the zip (don't flash it with CWM).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Am I the only one without that menu option? Under settings -> storage, I don't see Storage Configuration. Just 3 bar graphs, (internal, internal and SD card) erase SD, and mount/unmount SD.

Edit: running 4/21 nightly, and I'm positive my menu was the same on 4/20...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJehle:
You have to hit the menu button, go to advanced, then you can choose. I believe it works afters restart
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Settings -> advanced shows a radio menu with 3 choices: UMTS only, HSDPA only, and HSDPA + HSUPA. None are checked, and it looks like if I check one, I won't be able to get back to none checked... Which is right?

So with the 4/21 nightly I no longer hear notification sounds over Bluetooth. Worked for sure under 4/19 and earlier not 100% sure if it worked under 4/20 but I believe it did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dylanwinn:
Is anyone else getting improperly scaled magnometer data? When I open a compass app and rotate the phone, the compass rotates 4 degrees for every one degree of actual rotation. This results in the heading being reported as 0/360 when it is actually 90, 180, or 270 degrees.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Yup, its a glitch in the new sensor HAL, this was discussed in the I9100 forum, same magnetometer, same issue. There is a fix in the works, ETA unknown atm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] switters1:
I guess what I was thinking was instead of trying to compile a custom cm9 rom, why not make just the gps tweak that is in 4/17.

I thought there were some tweaked values I could simply add myself. Is this an oversimplification?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Awesome battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Oh, for just the GPS tweak, umm...search in the GT-I9100 thread the flashable patch and/or the value are in there about a thousand times, the flashable patch should be safe to use on the I777 but if you're worried you could just nab the values which are posted in there somewhere too.

Edit: I found it for you find /etc/sirfgps.conf and make changes as described in this merge http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14724/1/configs/sirfgps.conf

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I've done some reading and see that other people have brought up this issue but I'm still confused. My external SD card is mounted at /mnt/sdcard which is confusing all of my apps. I want my internal storage to use that path since I have very little space on my external one and do not like apps writing to it. I did a full wipe after upgrading so what can I do to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Go to Settings->Storage hit menu key Storage Settings->Use Internal Storage

this will change internal to /sdcard and external to /emmc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
just found this out myself

Try checking your advanced storage settings, you can select internal or external. Or wait till the experts wake up... :p

Damn! Ninja'd by an expert! Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
None of the above are working solutions. There is still something wrong here. I don't really care what my mounts are called as long as they function properly.

In my mind the external sdcard is a storage solution. It holds my pictures, music, video, and anything else large that my system generates gets saved there or moved there. The internal sdcard holds all temp data and everything else.

As we have progressed through these mount changes over the last few days none of the them have changed the underlying problem that the system is still writing all temp/cache files to my external sdcard. Does not matter what they are named for some reason the device keeps writing my maps, voice, dolphin browser, root explorer, etc cache files to my external sd. If I unmount it everything keeps working fine as well which confuses me. I have wiped the setting for the apps and deleted their temp directories but regardless as soon as my external sdcard is mounted they continue writing there.

I guess this isn't a huge issue but it makes a total mess of my external sdcard, the only place on my device that in the past I could actually keep organized.

So I guess what I was expecting to see was...

internal sdcard (emmc) continue as always holding app data and cache

external sdcard (sdcard) storing my files, music, pictures, etc and NOT acting as a temporary location for app data/cache

I am not *****ing, just trying to explain this issue as well as I can. CM9 rocks my socks!

Does this make any sense? Am I the only one with this issue? Please advise :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
Does the new nightly 4/22 fix this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
Nope, 4/22 does not resolve the issue. It changes the naming convention but for whatever reason whether my external sdcard is called emmc or sdcard the system writes its cache files to it :(

I got the dreaded android.process.media has stopped again after a day and a half. I got it when I went to download something from the browser. I immediately full wiped and starting over again for the 3rd time in a week :(

I am having a similar issue, all of the apps on my external SD card whenever I click them it tells me the app is not installed. However, all the music located on my SD card seem to work completely fine, its weird to say the least. I haven't found a solution yet, nothing here seems to have worked to fix the issue so far. I am running nightly 4/21.

EDIT: Running 4/22 now, no change. It only happened after a restart that the apps said they weren't installed, however their icons are still on my home screen, But they are no longer in my apps drawer. It just lost track of where they were.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
Seems I can only do -40 anything higher = crash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
This is an issue with apps looking for a mount named /mnt/sdcard to put their data and cache, mainly due to bad authoring where this value is hardcoded rather than asking the system where the correct place to put this is, unfortunately this can't be solved in the way you're hoping by the ROM since it's the apps that make the decision. The only ROM level decision is what /mnt/sdcard actually refers to internal or external.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
With all do respect, I believe you are wrong about this.

If that is the case, then RomManager, Google Maps, Google Voice, etc are guilty of "bad authoring" .
