Hi guys, although i use miui on my N1 for a long time i am new with miui on the X5, and i am having a issue with every single version of miui.
The thing is, at the first boot my internal SD card is not detected, even selecting it on the X5 settings app.
The only workaround i found was to enable UMS and then it gets detected.
The thing is that after adding files to the SD and disabling the mass storage it prompts to copy files from internal memory to SD but actually deletes all the files previously added except apk`s.
Can anyone help please.
Thanks.

Hello there
Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.
It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.
Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.
No solution?
I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..
Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.

Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...
also
setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.

Hello, i'm new to this forum, i'm trying to figure out how to solve my problem. I have a Lenovo A3300-H tablet, and i can't change the storage location, i can see the SD card, i can move that dot, but everything i download goes to internal storage (it can see the card, but ignores it). Can you please help me? By the way, it's using android 4.4.2.
Hi guys,
I've done a lot of research into this and have read multiple posts about it, but can't seem to find a decent solution....
Basically, adoptable storage on 6.0 will format the SD card in such a way that only your phone can recognize it. TWRP and your PC won't be able to read the SD card at all. In that case, what's the best way to bypass this?
I'm assuming that you just format 50% of the card as adoptable storage, so the rest can be used by TWRP/PC? It just seems kind of annoying because if you need to flash a new ROM, or if your ROM has issues etc, you'd have to constantly move the data to your SD card's normal storage, otherwise it's unreadable. I'm talking about stuff like Titanium Backups, which I believe can't be saved onto the normal SD card storage, etc.
Looks like I found the answer myself.
Don't bother using that script from Modaco (unless you're on stock 6.0 ROMs). Just format the card as adoptable SD in the ROM itself (I'm using Resurrection Remix), then reboot. Your PC will pick up the SD card via MTP no problem. If that doesn't work, boot into TWRP (make sure you're using 3.0.2.2-test as of this current writing) and select micro-SD (adoptable storage). It should show up via MTP as well.
Looks like nothing is affected as TWRP and my PC can still read the card despite being formatted as adoptable. Problem solved.
Update 2:
If you are using stock official ROM, then adoptable storage won't be visible via MTP. You can use TWRP to access it though, but make sure you're using the latest TWRP. On the phone itself, you can use something like Root Explorer and browse to the following path to access the adoptable storage contents:
/mnt/expand/xyzblahblah/media/0
the xyzblahblah part is a long random string. It might look different on your phone.
Note that Titanium Backup can't recognize this path. You can browse to it, but it can't access it. Best to format your card as 50/50 adoptable/portable storage.
I am using Xolo Q700s Cynogenmod Lollipop
I installed Cynogenmod 12.1 V3 stable. In that they had made inbuilt feature that External SD CARD is loaded as internal memory i.e SDCARD0. I want to chnage that because as I don't have any SD Card I cannot operate my phone. eg xender says sd card disabled and don't open. bluetooth says : transfer unsuccessful as sd card not found to save files. Cannot save books or data from app as download fails as my phone has no external sd card.
I tried changing fstab file but when i reboot the phone it gets back to default settings. I searched a lot but cannot find way to transfer internal sd card from external to internal memory. I can't understand how to change this setting in cynogenmod
Pls Help.
if possible reply at [email protected].
Edit 1 : When I checked fstab file in /system folder, the command was written as in last 2nd line: sdcard1:8 non-removable. What this is.
Pls help me, I cannot use my phone, cannot install and run apps and my phone is of no use to me.
Hi
OK, so this is my question: I just installed LineageOS 15.0 on my XT1685 . And when I was using the stock ROM (N), I used my SD card to store pictures, videos, etc. After installing O, this option seemed to have disappeared for some reason. First, I couldn't get to choose save location from the stock camera app that came with the Gapps ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797336 ). Then I tried installing Open Camera, but then I got this issue with not being able to write to the SD card (see attachment).
At this point my SD card was formatted as "portable". And I just could NOT get Oreo to understand that I wanted to use it as a default for storing pictures and video. After a while I gave up, and re-formatted as "internal". Which basicly means that now the phone's storage and the external storage are kinda "integrated" in a way.. the SD has become a part of a greater whole..
Which leads me to my actual question...:
Why is it that I could not get it to work as it did on Nougat - as portable, basicly..
And also; how to get around this?
Just to be clear, this is a general Android question (I think), NOT a question specific to the Lineage ROM (which is awesome btw, imo!)
Thanks,

I have AOSP Extend Oreo on my g5+. I put open camera on my phone and was able to store pics on the SD card. However, it stopped working and won't store pics at all. I installed the native moto camera app, but it won't let me store pics to the SD card. I'm hoping someone can provide some assistance.
I am on stock Oreo and I currently use my SD as portable. Formatting the sd as Internal eventually led to 3 different corrupted sd cards after some time, so, if your problem is not software-related, try to stick to formatting the card as portable storage.
I only know a part of the problem, which is happening to me too: a while after restarting the phone, I open my SD card in any file manager (I have Total Commander) and it doesn't show any file but both the file manager and the system shows the Sd card's occupied and free spaces, and I've had to dismount and remount the SD card in order to be able to get to any file or folder of it, but several minutes later the files become impossible to access again.
