Bad authoring was perhaps a bad choice of words, but apps try to put their cache on whatever mount is called /mnt/sdcard there is no way to fix this at the ROM level, it was discussed at length in the GT-I9100 thread.

Edit: I wanted what you're suggesting too and some people with more knowledge of the situation than I said it wasn't possible, so I took them at their word.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
Im going to +1 this. The change was very simple, the mount points switched. This happened on nightly 20. Then what happened, after a large amount of b#t$hing and moaning a "solution was made". The solution is that the java environment tag can be switched. So instead of mnt/emmc and mnt/sdcard being called the tag EXTERNAL_STORAGE and INTERNAL_STORAGE should be called by the apps... I would not assume that because google voice is made by google that it utilizes the proper conventions. The recent 3.2 debocal on the portal is a perfect example of a big company taking sortcuts to a problem instead of fixing it (in reference to samsung). And i would hold that rom manager is an even bigger exception for two reasons one, that is a old app from the beginning of time made by a dev who only spends his free time on it, and it uses storage differently because of the nature of the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
Did a full wipe on 4/20 and 4/21. Applied 4/22 like usual without wipe. Seems good so far. On 4/20 the used internal storage under storage options was not checked (after full wipe). After full wipe on 4/21 it was checked. On 4/22 remained checked.

I've taken to formatting internal when I do a full wipe as well. I always double check in cwm to make sure what IT thinks is internal really is :-)

One nice thing about full wiping is it gets rid of a lot of crap that accumulates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
The problem of mounting is made worse when the hardware manufacturers do things like name internal memory /sdcard and external /sdcard/external_sd (looking at you samsung), if everyone used proper Linux standard mount points this wouldn't be such an annoying issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] killman2659:
I'm still on the 4-13 nightly lol. I'm guessing I shouldn't update to 4-22?

Check Settings -> Storage, press Menu go to Storage Configuration. Is Internal SD checked? Mine is and it keeps the files on the internal card not external.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rytymu:
+1

On my stock ROM, I had all of my app data downloaded to the internal memory (at least I think), and all of my pictures, videos, and music/ringtones on the SD card so I can switch phones easily. I could care less about re-downloading app data again. There's no way to split the two up? As in apps install to the internal memory, and just have an option to run the media scanner on the external card?

I should say "apps" or "app data" as in the extra file some games require, obviously secure storage is for the app itself...

0329 is up.. but my premium license is gone.. ROMManager wants me to purchase premium again. Anyone else?

I've purchased it already and used it with this phone back on CM7 so I really don't want to purchase it again. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind donating to Koushik and have done so (couple times) but don't like paying for sh*t twice :mad:

todays nightly (0329) flashed fine from clockwork. the only problem is the Google apps is 2 weeks older then the latest version. (flashed 0304, latest is 0317)

I gave mine a look. Almost 7hrs since I unplugged and, according to BBS, 4m48s of wakelock from RILJ. That's not significant, right? It's one of those things that I don't completely understand, but it doesn't SOUND bad. Haha. Maybe I'm wrong?

Do you see the CM9 Nightly builds in RM? I'm not finding it/them at all. I've cleared the DL cache. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Hmm yeah I tried deleting it and now Play Store gives me an error trying to download. Not that it matters because the store still shows the premium license for $5.99. But all the other apps I've purchased say "purchased" next to it. Pretty flippen annoying. I've emailed Koush but honestly don't expect to hear back from him. I tried contacting him awhile back, after several emails over the coarse of a couple weeks he finally replied and said he didn't get any previous emails..so in that same email I replied my question and never heard from him again. That was months ago.. and I expect it'll probably be the same this time :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
It shouldn't -- you just need to download it from market -- the premium part is just the license and market remembers that you've already bought it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nbell13:
3/29 nightly is 4.0.4 :D

Camcorder doesn't freeze the phone anymore, but it still can't save the video. Good progress though :)

ROM Manager (Premium version):

1. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Choose AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777)

2. Download ROM or Check for Updates if you're already running a nightly

3. Flash, but Check GApps.

The first step is what tells ROM Manager which version of the Galaxy S2 you want -- ICS is only available on the SGH-I777!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpstiehl:
Dude, same thing happened to me this AM. I wasn't able to connect to Play Store at all. No updates, couldn't search. I rebooted into CWM cleared cache/Dalvik and that seemed to get me back to a working Play Store. Then I uninstalled/reinstalled RM Premium License. :D Hope that helps ya.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yeah totally.. not sure why it says the premium license is $5.99. Now that I've deleted the free version from my device I cannot get it back because of market errors lol. I got play store pulled up on my PC and downloaded the reg version of RM ..but still wants me to pay to get the premium license. Beats me bro :o

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I had this problem with another app about a week or so ago. I uninstalled updates from the Play Store, let it update again, and then it worked. But I don't know if that would help at all here (not sure if there's been any updates to the version of the play store that comes with gapps).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
Yea Devs or other's who do programming are the only ones who know conventions and how frustrating it is when they arent followed. even i when i first got started in programming had a blatant disregard for how things should be... but the first code review i did... things changed bc trying to understand someone elses chopped up code is tough. that is why that wont fly with CM... there are just too many people working on it to be sloppy

anyways i feel that the devs shot themselves in the foot by attempting to appease people. if they had doe the change in nightly 20. and said do a full wipe and deal... then people would have to adjust... bu the recent nightlies they are trying to fix it and it is causing more trouble than its worth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
There was the issue where if internal was emmc and external was sdcard and you had no external card inserted then the camera and gallery bugged out which had to be fixed, the rest of the changes could have been avoided by ignoring the crying.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
They just reverted it again in the 4/22 nightly... what are you talking about?

It does not matter which way the cards are named it appears the system will write cache files to the external sdcard regardless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Where? its not reverted from what I can see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
emmc is now the internal sdcard again, sdcard is now the external sdcard... was it not the reverse in the previous nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Not to my knowledge, there is a possibility it was due to this change if you did a full wipe http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14960/ this was to deal with the issue of people not having an external card installed.

Edit: I'll certainly give you that the initial change, plus the various adjustments have been a confusing mess, but the initial change wasn't reverted just adjusted a number of times in a confusing way.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Are you saying that a full wipe will resolve these issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
I think you're right about CM7 but it's been a while, I also remember seeing that CM7 wasn't using the CM standard mount points either, so I'm honestly not sure.

A full wipe may help you solve some of your problems, just don't restore app data with TB since it will restore the wrong path information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
im saying that the only people who give two poops about the storage change are those who are already running the rom. a guy off the street could flash this and he wouldnt know that this had ever happened... why because he is going to have to redo all of the things you normally do when you flash a rom. like restore apps and move things around and reenter the passwords... i dont think it is that hard for one of us to do that once... just start over like it never happened.

im going to be honest, and maybe i shouldnt be saying this. but all the moaning about stuff when this rom first got released made me angry... then i turned tolerant and then frustrated... now im just tired. sad thing is i know it will never change because the second everyone on the forum figures out how things work and searches for things.... there is the new guy who starts it all over again. probably why we dont see the devs posting so much in this forum... they are just tired

I was also worried about how I was going to manage my storage/memory. I guess I can "let it go" for now, because my phone has never worked better. Thanks devs!

PS. I don't do much music, and pictures that aren't the creme de la creme get deleted quick. So, I guess I don't need to manage memory, I've got about 90% free, internal and external...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
For what it's worth, I was having problems with 4/19 and 4/20. Rdio and Google Music were installing data to my sdcard and trying to find everything there. I did a full wipe (and complete format) and installed 4/21 and updated to 4/22 this morning. I'm not having any problems with any of my apps anymore. The only thing I have to remember is that in recovery, sdcard refers to the actual sdcard, like it should. So to install from/backup to internal storage, you have to use that instead of sdcard. Otherwise, all is well. Nothing has touched my sdcard in the past two days and it remains empty (I cleared it after the problems and am waiting to make sure things stay settled before I put things back on).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] keving9012:
I have been having some trouble updating to CM9. I was at CM7, then went to ICScrewd for a little while. Now, when I try to install CM9 through CWM I get a build prop error and installation aborts. I've looked back in the discussion and have seen this mentioned before. I've tried to unzip the CM9 install and then use Notepad++ to edit the buildprop and replace i777 with SGH-I777. I chose to put SGH-I777 because that is what my Model number is listed as in my "about phone". Once I change that and rezip with 7zip and try to install, my phone just aborts the install immediately. I have a stock bootloader because the USB jig still works. I've tried to leave as detailed a description as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
This is splitting hairs on what a revert is, you are correct that the functionality doesn't change anymore because they made the old functionality the default, a full revert would mean that those who changed the mounts around or went from one where they were changed to the 4/22 build without wiping would cause it to switch back, it does not.

However the system is now properly aware of what is internal and what is external, it was "confused" before as the mount points had changed but the definitions in the Java **** for what was internal and external hadn't. It can also be reconfigured to point things the other way.

Entropy's point is one that ill second this thread is for cm9 only... it wven says in op with stock kernel. There is a certain organization that works best on forums. If i want good undervolt settings (which whether or not that is even attainable as entropy states every phone is different) i will go to a thread dedicated to that... There are more people there with answers for that problem and all the info is in one place. This thread has become diluted by constant moaning about sd card swaps, undervolt settings and other "stuff" (and admittedly these posts...) But at some point you have to get the message, this is not a free for all thread. It is becoming too time consuming to sift through these posts.

And the dev thread was created because they knew this would happen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Awesome thanks for the info! So now I'm all down for it to follow the "standards" so if I unchecked this and my built in mountpoint moves to /emmc, will we have any trouble with apps saving their data/cache there normally or will the option force apps to use the external card? I don't mind if CM moves the mount points, I just wanna make sure I can still use that 11gb or so we've got instead of my "lowly" 4gb external card..

Each phone has its own CPU chipset. Other people’s SetCPU voltages settings may not work for you. Therefore, you need to try lot of the settings until you get the lowest voltages and stable for daily use.
