What does caf bring to the device? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Main_Page

The device is already buttery smooth. I have not seen threads complaining about lag in terms of animations but one guy. It basically had to do with google launchers and the amount of widgets that he could place which was an ungodly amount. He was basically upset that his device only lags when he cycles through his widgets. Things that make you go hmmmm... but whatever

Don't get me wrong those dev guys at CM do a great job bringing old phones up to speed and supporting a lot of devices but in reality it is just another ROM that everyone knows about and I am not personally a fan of.

[SOLVED: See last post]​

Hi everybody !

That's aLL... I just flashed a SBF, performed a factory reset from motorola's recovery, rooted my phone, installed 2ndinit 2.3, flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and then Quark's 2014 01 20 CM11 build.

Did I miss some step in order to get the card mounted in recovery ?

By the way I can easily access it plugging the USB cable on my Ubuntu Linux desktop and choosing MTP/PTP/USBstorage.

EDIT: it was previously formatted ( it's a 32GB class 10 U1 card ) as a fat32 partition on Windows7
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
Your SDcard is visible from file manager?

If not than is better to format it in a ... compact camera or something like this.!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
Thanks for your answer !

Yes it is; I can mount it on my desktop too as I previously said.

This happened to me 2 times after having installed Quarx's CM11 with the steps described before :eek:

Plugging it on my desktop results in a mounted partition on the file explorer ( nautilus ) but as an unmounted on the partitioning app ( Gparted ) with a broken filesystem but I am able to copy files :confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
Bump! :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
As I said before something similar happened to me and the only solution was to re-format entire SDcard in a compact camera. I tried to format in a android tablet and in the phone but always it gave errors. After formatted in camera all work fine and no error.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
I should try but ... uhm ... my question is: why does the same card mount ever on every recovery ( TWRP 2.6.3.0 included ) but not any more after 2014 01 20 build ?

If I would restart from scratch without doing anything on the card( flashing a SBF, root, 2ndinit, TWRP 2.6.3.0, CM11 ) it should be mounted until the first CM11's boot: I did it 2 days ago. I just used the same card without formatting it: TWRP 2.6.3.0 does mount it only on the first shoot.

After the first CM11's boot it won't be mounted anymore.

SOLVED​

Okka roLLa !

So... trying to reformat the card via CM11 results in a random reboot; trying to wipe it on TWRP fails too.

I wrote zeros another 2 times in between and than i putted it into the defy, mounted it as USB Mass Storage in order to partition it with GParted creating 2

primary partitions

( 1024GB ext3 and aLL the other avaiable space FAT32 ) and now it is seen from recovery without mounting it :good:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I have the same problem: after installing any of the recent CM11 nightlies (since the autobot builds began), TWRP is unable to mount my sdcard. (It's a 16GB class 10 made by Topram.) I've tried fully formatting the card in my PC (as FAT32), also checked it for errors and bad sectors. So far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with the card.

Earlier versions of CM11 (from pre-autobot builds, like the December 29th build) have no trouble mounting the card in recovery, and the latest builds of CM11 have no trouble reading from and writing to the card when the rom is fully booted; only TWRP is unable to mount it. Strangely, TWRP has no trouble mounting an older and slower 2GB card.

[MENTION=4679041]Alka-Seltzer PLUS[/MENTION], I'd rather not use the workaround that you described above, because the last time I tried screwing around in TWRP trying to get it to mount the sdcard, I ended up hard-bricking my old defy.

So, does anyone know whether it is possible to replace the recovery in the latest nightlies with a recovery from an earlier build? I'm not sure exactly what files I'd need to replace in the CM11 zip file, or whether a simple replacement would even work. I tried taking what I thought were the correct files from the December 29th build and flashing them over the February 22 nightly, but that just soft-bricked the phone and I had to start over from sbf.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
Maybe there's a misunderstandig: the steps i described have been done with the microSD outside the phone; I did it with the card inserted in an adapter !
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
Thanks for the reply. I'm still not sure that I understand your steps. Did you use gparted on your linux PC to create an ext3 partition and a FAT32 partition on the sdcard, then put the sdcard back into the phone and now TWRP recognizes it? If so, which partition does TWRP recognize, the ext3 or the FAT32?

In any case, I'd rather not resort to such a workaround, since I don't trust the latest version of the TWRP recovery (which hard-bricked my old defy). I would prefer to downgrade the recovery to the version that was working fine on the earlier CM11 builds (e.g. the December 29th build). Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
That's right: I did use gparted on my linux PC to create an ext3 partition and a FAT32 partition on the sdcard, then putted the sdcard back into the phone and now TWRP does recognize it.

The FAT32 is recognized, the ext3 i do not know because i did not look for it yet ^_^
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
Wow, that actually worked! I just used gparted to fix the partition table and reformat the entire sdcard as FAT32 (I only created one partition), and now the card is recognized in TWRP! :good:

Apparently there was something wrong with the partition tables on my sdcard, and even a full format in Windows 7 didn't fix it, nor did the Windows disk check utility detect the problem, but Linux saves the day again!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipCetero:
I think the problem here is that there is no partition table on your card, just a file system; you put a file system directly on the sd card, rather than creating a single partition spanning all of the card. Your file system would end up on /dev/block/mmcblk0 rather than /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, and twrp.fstab doesn't include an entry for that, so it doesn't get mounted.

This might be easy to fix, but testing the fix might also hard-brick the phone in question, as Proverbs2 discovered. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, and the overwhelming standard is for SD cards to have a partition table, so we're probably best off warning about such cards and not touching them at all. Whatever software you used to format your SD card initially needs to be fixed, though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipCetero:
I think there was a recent change to use separate kernels for recovery and normal 2nd-boot. You'd need to replace /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/ramdisk-recovery with the old /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/ramdisk-recovery and /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/zImage-recovery with the old /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/zImage (no "-recovery" suffix), I think, and I'd expect it to just work then. Don't touch the new /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/ramdisk and /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/zImage.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
[PROBLEM SOLVED Time ago]

Thanks for your answer but I do not realize what was wrong doing it my way ( now the card gets mounted ) !

After having write zeros on the card i tried to partition it in 3 different ways

:

1) Booting up CM11 and letting it ask to format the empty card ( I thought it was supposed to create a partition table with a FAT32 partition spanning all the space on the microSD ) but it always resulted in a random reboot and a not partitioned card.

2) Entering TWRP and letting it partition the SDcard using its menu: it returns that the recovery tries to mount any partition which is supposed to be created from an empty card :confused: Maybe the card should have had at least a partition table in order to be partitioned ? This question let go to this another one: isn't TWRP able to write a partition table on an empty microSD ?

3) My way: using Gparted whom prompts a window which says to create a partition table before partitioning the device.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipCetero:
There's nothing wrong with your way! I just thought an explanation of what went wrong would be helpful. To actually fix it, gparted is what I would use, too; and now you've used it everything should work flawlessly

Sorry for the confusion: I was talking about fixing TWRP to recognize such cards (which it should) and working with them (which it shouldn't, because of the risk it's a broken card and we end up Proverbsing the phone).
