[Q] safely remove external storage - Acer Iconia A500

Hi!
There is an option on Virtuous Picasso v. 1.0.8 rom that let us safely remove external storage and SD card.
Is there any way to add this option to stock rom or any application to do that?
I've searched the forum and noting have found.
Thank you!

Star80 - Can you even "see" the External SD card in Virtuous Picasso v. 1.0.8? I was using v. 1.0.7 can could "see" the card on the Task Bar. and even had the option to remove it. I upgraded to v.1.0.8 and lost that option, so I fell back to v.1.0.7.
I've tried several 3.1 ROMS since and most don't give you that indicator or option to remove.

latest version currently running on my phone is 2.4.4 and 2.5 is available in Developer's forum.
should be work.
sorry for my dumb question..but how does it work? i installed 2.5 on my rooted milestone with 1gb ext2 partition on sd card.
then i chose "install app2card/transfer apps"..it said that all apps were copied to ext2 and i can see it from the drive infos.
but now? i have the apps both in internal and external memory? i wanted to free some space in internal memory..how can i do it? i tried to translate the vietnamese page but it wasn't so clear (at least for me). any help would be very appreciated,thanks.

after transferring the apps, have you reboot the phone? if you've rebooted, open App2Card to see whether it is successful or not.
if there's no error message pop-up and the AppStatus: is showing "Locaton: SD CARD" then you're good to go.
to clear-up your internal memory, power-off the phone, remove SD card and boot.
(don't worry, it will boot) with something like the phone is reset. there, uninstall the apps that appearing in the list. (except App2Card) it will clear more space. (don't worry about the apps, it's already copy to your SD card).
once you've finished, insert the SD card and reboot.
then, click Menu>Wipe>Dalvik-Cache>Internal Memory
it will release some more space in your internal RAM.
hi thank you

Rom Manager thinks my Dinc is a Fascinate

Just like the title says, Rom Manager things my Dinc is a Fascinate. I am currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC2 and Rom Manager is baked in, I've tried deleting the updates but when I go into download rom, I get only Fascinate roms. Any ideas on how to fix this one?

Are you using an SD card from elesewhere?
Try uninstalling ROM Manager and reinstalling - you may get the device selection screen, at which point you choose Incredible rather than Fascinate.
Absent that, with the device on, unmount the SD and power down the device. Then take SD out, copy entire contents to PC so you'll have them, and format the SD card to FAT32. Put SD back in device, d/l ROM manager to get the device selection menu.
Then you can copy files back to SD card from your PC.
Please post whether this (or something other) works.

Thanks a lot.
I uninstalled ROM Manager and put a different (blank) micro SD card in the phone then reinstalled ROM Manager, this did the trick. The SD card I was using came out of a fascinate and that was causing the issue. Thanks again.

Is there any Roms using the Internal SD

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there any Rom at the moment that uses the Internal SD memory ?
I really don't see the point of having an external SD Card just for the camera (and maybe other apps like the market), when we have a 2GB Internal Memory :S...
For me this is the most important reason why I can't use a Custom Rom since i don't have and SD Card free (I have only one and I need it for my G1 :S)...
Isn't there anyway to fix this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa
Void and most 2.2 ROMs do this I think

I've never tried Void :S... But I know that Oxygen and CM7 don't use the Interna SD as an SD Card for the Market, Gallery and Camera :S...
The only one that allows using the internal memory as an SD Card is the Miui Rom that I've been using for a while and I really enjoy it (even if I prefer an Original Android Rom) ^^
Oxygen and MIUI are now using internal storage also.
Well.. Oxygen can't connect internal memory to PC so it gets hard to transfer files (But you can acccess HWUserData within the phone).
MIUI just flat out won't read HWUserData but will allow PC to connect to it.
Because of the issues above I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16371582&postcount=376 until my SD-card gets to me through the mail.

All roms that uses HWUserData do not allow to use the Camera or the Album without an external memory card :S....
The tweaked stock ROM I linked saves images properly. Use that if you are looking for a decent, stable ROM that allows for use of internal memory properly.
In miui you can use the internal sdcard, you need to set it in x5 settings.
Also you should be able to access it normally from /HWUserdata and also /mnt/emmc even if you've got it set to external. The apps aren't designed to work with two sdcards though, with the exception of the gallery app.

Could you tell me where i can find the settings? It's not under SD card settings or About Phone sections.
Update: Damn I feel stupid. It was an app under homescreen and I completely missed it while I was bumbling through the settings menues.

And this is Why I am using MIUI and I love it ^^
EVERY 2.3 ROM uses internal, you can choose this in settings. Best for me is CM7. Oxygen is buggy cause it don't mount internal memory to windows after attaching usb, so CM7 is best for battery life and overall

external sd card not mounted miui

hi folks.
here's the thing. i just flashed miui 2.1.13 .32 kernel. and when i go to file explorer, i can only see my internal sd card. no matter what program i use... same. AND when i pull out extrenal sd card, phone says that there is NO sd card inserted. but when i put it back in, everything is back to same.
help? thank you
try to push the card slightly to one side or the other. That happened to me too and it was the card that wasn't making contact with the phone.
I got the solution with X5-Setting. Here ist a option for internal or external Card

awesome that helped thank you
I'm running .35 kernel, and have noticed that the last few releases of MIUI wont mount the external SD card after a shutdown & startup. It says the SD card is corrupted & needs to be formatted. I even exchanged the SD card for a new one and I still kept getting the problem. I found that rebooting the phone fixes the problem - the SD is now mounted. So it seems to only be a problem after doing a full shutdown - not a restart.
Managed to kill one of my sdcards in the latest miui, it got dced al the time and now i cant write, delete or format it. Have tried it on my laptop without luck. So be careful

Hi,
I have the same problem! If I power on the smartphone from a full shutdown my sdcard (the external one, 16 GB Sandisk) is not mounted, then if I restart the X5 Pro, Android mount correctly my external sdcard.
For this reason I wanted to change sdcard (before I had a Sandisk 4GB) with a new Sandisk 16GB sdcard. The problem is still here
How can I fix this problem?
I flashed a lot of different roms, based on B512, B540, custom gingerbread 2.3.4, Gingerbread by Genokolar, porting U8860 Huawei Honor for X5Pro, CyanogenMod 7.1 but I have always the same problem.
Please developers, find a solution because it is not a nice bug.
Regards,
kalo86
Experiencing the same problem on my U8800, MIUI 2.1.20, 2.6.35 kernel. After shutdown, the sdcard will not mount. Have to reboot to get it to work again.
Hi, I have the same problem and for this reason I opened a new thread discussing this bug.

Did you try that on Windows tools or with Unix tools?

[Q] Zipsnet ICS 4.03 - Moving apps to SD card

Installed zipsnet ICS 4.03 and I do not see the option of moving apps to SD card or rather the option to move apps to SD card is greyed out. I remember it working on ICS 4.01
Is this a bug? Is it possible to get the download link for Zipsnet ICS 4.01?
Thanks
Kris
I believe its a bug the are working on but if you use romtoolbox I believe you are still able to move apps to the sd card. As far for the link you would have to send a pm to zips to get it cause its off the download page
Odd, on some of my apps the options is grayed out as well and on others it's not. However with apps currently on my SD card the options to move them back to phone is available for all of them.
