I cant choose sdcard as default storage... What is the reason?

[Higgy69]

If the developers that write mapping software want people to buy their software then I am sure they factor in that a lot of people don't have massive Internal memory.

I use 'Viewranger' a mapping program.  The App is small so that stays on the Internal 780MB (for now) and the maps +1.5GB goes onto the SD card.  The programmers know (or should) and let you 'map' the file locations to the SD card.

i already have,

but to be exact i just formatted the scard with partition wizard from here LINK

using the full format option (set all to sectors to 0) and the fat32 option

after i did this it never reverted to internal anymore... or had an issue with it since

this is why im sure its the SDcard's

I will give it a try now. I was more interested in what other "ext partitions" did you delete? Are there partions within the phone that I need to delete?
Thank You.

I'm going to try a completely clean install via CWM rather than the OTA after formatting the SD card. Where can I find the RIL for the 927 ROM? (I did do a search but I couldn't see it)

Think you'd be better to leave the storage as stock ICS version and provide a patch to set the default to sd card.
You might get more peace that way as some people seem to be getting confused on the issue.

You didn't search very well!

Allthough the search function on madaco is about as good as a chocolate fireguard.

it tries to put it into phone memory not on SD card althou SD card is selected as default, I don't know how to explain it differently. SD storage does not work as inteded on my phone, that's the whole point, I cant choose to put maps on SD, they try to go to that small internal storage :S



2 reasons:
1. I don't have a card reader on my computer and I have no clue how to partion the SD card to use link2sd, or how to use it.
2. If I manage to make partions, I will be throwing 1GB of SD class 10 card into trash and I am not a wasteful person, I don't won't 1GB to go to waste on my 8GB card. I am also poor jobless person and even 8GB card was expensive for me T_T

I'd just like to it to work as it should, as intended. It seems I will have to:
a) Stick to GB 2.3.6 (everything works fine there)

Hahaha brate i can't stop laughing!

[2_Step]

I must tell my experience about storage.
I wipe everything (format system, wipe cache, etc..), then I reboot the phone, and after I flashed the ROM. (I usually dont reboot between these processes but I followed a suggestion from someone here who made that, and it works).
Afterwards, ROM was installed normally and when I saw my Storage seetings, in fact, the storage was fixed in SDCard. Then I needed to reboot the phone for installing an app, and after that, I checked my storage settings and the storage was no longer on SD Card but on Internal.
I installed the second patch that Tillaz uploaded, and now I'm able to choose SD card as default storage.
Must say, thought that internal memory are not beeing used by Android. Dunno it is good or not thought.

Sorry, about my bad english and once again I'd like to congratulate Tillaz for this excelent ROM. I hope you continue

By the way, I don't give a damn about the storage if it don't compromise the performance of the phone by saving more data in phone memory.

@2_step:

that second patch resets after reboot. Try it, it will go back to internal SD again and you have to go and set it to exteranl SD again (and every time after reboot).

on a side note: I noticed that when I connect my phone to PC I get 2 drives. One is SD card, other is "Mobile Partner CDFS". Is that normal?

and it dose that on stock roms as well... that's why i say to format the sdcard properly as this can fully resolve the problem

i'm not looking into this any more, the second patch its the stock sd set up

in fact im close to abandoning this rom and just leaving it as it is...  because no matter if i fix problems on my phone,
someone always still seems to have it  

or people have problems i don't have etc... feels like im going round in a circle

Looks like your being blown away with bug fixes. They ask too much in my opinion.

Just chill out guys... its not that big if a deal.

If your too concerned try compiling something yourselfs. XD

PS : I've got my Ubuntu running so it'll be much easier dealing with android.

After a day of use rom feels really good. Memory management seems good, and haven't noticed any bug whatsoever.

Poor little tillaz .
It's not your fault. You did the best that you could, it's just that some people don't know what they are talking about and only blame you for things they did wrong.

Do not give up, you worth much more than that

it just the sdcard some people have trouble with, and i know that is not rom related or we would all have the same problem

infact im going to attach a poll on this thread to see just how many people have the sdcard problem

[tillaz]

only thing i think could be improved it changing the launcher

That should be a good idea. Also have they tried a full data wipe before installing? That usually fixes previous bugs

[b4da55]

Including sd card

atm, I am formating and zeroing my SD for the second time. So full SD wipe + format to fat32 afterwards. First time - no change. I am doing the second time now just to make sure it is not the SD card. This is the second fully formated fat32 SD card I am doing this on but this time with the app of your choice instead of standard windows 7 full format (not quick format) that I did a few days before.
I am just wondering if having 3 phone partions in windows when I connect the phone has anything to do with this whole thing? (1 is 2gb internal SD, 2 one is my SD 8gb, 3rd one is some CDFS with driver and some crap)

edit: once again I will say (and I just went back from AtomicMod to B07) I have no SD issues in 2.3.6 GB stock or your AtomicMod, I can choose to prefer SD card over internal SD card or Internal storage.
My SD is PAtriot class 10 8GB, previous one was SanDisk 2GB class 10. Totally different SD cards. I somehow doubt it's the problem with SD card. and btw. I have the same problem in huawei's stock ICS rom, so it is not your fault anyway. I guess I was just hopeing for some "magic" solution...That second patch works, if only it would keep settings after reboot. Can that be done? That would solve all problems, at least for me. Everything works with that patch, until reboot

wiped my whole phone, downgraded to 2.3.6 GB, installed AtomicMod, wiped the whole phone again, formatted EVERYTHING, installed B07 on a perfectly clean phone (rooted thou) through CWM. How cleaner can it be?

edit2:

Do I perhaps need to install some RIL?! If I do (I don't have any bugs on my phone, didn;t have them on B06, only problem was/is this SD annoyance) MAybe  noobish question, idk, just asking if that is needed. 8815, 2030 baseband here. What version of "B" is this based upon? (it is a bit confusing bcs instead of Bxxx info says B07 since it's custom rom, so what RIL should I flash? :S sorry )

[mack_]

I can well and truly say that I had a perfect install and I even restored all my back up from all back up and few apps from TB and I have had no issues whatsoever<br />I did the OTA and selected the wipe cache and wipe data option,it rebooted and it was all fine. I didnt even have the chrome sync problem any more.<br /><br />Great job tillaz....* thumbs up  * <br />
