Hello guys
Im totally confused with my sdcard. I will try to explain as best as possible.
It seems that i have 3 internal memory in my phone. Ive got gs3 with cm10.1
This is how the folders are:
1. There are the following folders: emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1 (sdcard1 i found out its my external sdcard)
In sdcard0 there are all the folders of apps.
Here is the problem, when i click on emulated, there are 2 folders: legacy and internal memory. The problems is that both have the same apps folders and files from sdcard0!!!!!
Can anyone help me fixing this having only 1 folder with all my apps?? Im not sure but since there are 3 folders (sdcard0, legacy, internal memory) with same files and folders, i guess that my memory usage is being tripled???
Thanks guys. And happy new year

Hi, recently I try to change my Recovery and for some strange reason I lost "aparently" all my sdcard content because I can't mount from recovery and either from the phone using AndroZip, my question is: if I format the sdcard and lost .android_secure directory I'm able to access my phone without problems?
Cheers and thx in advance
yes you are fine. The .android_secure folder has to do with paid applications and it will be regenerated automatically.
If you move apps to sd, they go in there. You should move any apps that are on sd to internal memory before you delete it
I felt like I needed a signature.... here it is

Hello everyone
First at all want thanks the valious information in this forum. For a newbie like me is superb.
Now I´m needing here some tips please.
I have a IDEOS S7 tablet rooted (with SuperOneClick), working in full with the SuperUser, I have root access through with Root Explorer.
I use Link2SD to change the apps from the internal memory to the internal SD card.
I have no partitions on internal SD (do not know how to do).
The question: When i install an application this one goes to the /data/app folder, but also some additional files of this application goes to the /data/data folder.
With Link2sd when I move an app to the SD internal card, only the file in data/app moves and the files/folders in the data/data remain´s there!
For example when I install an application with 11MB (adobe flash for example) and move it with the link2sd to the internal SD card never copies all the 11MB (only about 3MB are copied )..... I conclude that any app that I install, and moved to SDcard, I can never keep in the same internal memory free "measurement" of bytes!
Example, I have 136MB free before installing Adobe. After installation I get 125MB. I move the app to the internal SD and are moved only 3MB! The remaining (8MB) stay in the internal memory. So, i never stay again with the 136MB that I had before, but +- 128MB.
What is wrong? Can I move all files of an application or not? What am I doing wrong or is this just like that!!? Any suggestion please?
By the way how can I create a partition on the InternalSD card and what is the advantage of doing this?
Thank you for your attention

Can close/delete this topic please, solved and done.
Thanks

Thank Blefish first ,with your contribution to U8800 ,so we users can enjoy the Kitkat.
I have learned that Kitkat will forbid app create file/folder in ext-SD root directory,instead apps can only created their data in /Sdcad/Android.So my Sdcard directory will be tidy.
When I installed Blefish 0516 edition,I found the feature didn't work.
And I found in dir ./storage , ext-SD was mounted as Sdcard0 while the internal storage was mounted as Sdcard1.I think the irregular mounted sequence between ext-Sd and internal storage is the reason why the feature didn't work.
And I didn't found vold.fstab in ./system/etc , so I can't edit it to change the mount seq.
Dear Blefish guru,I am looking for your help~
Jellybean and forward use a different method now. They are not using vold.fstab anymore. Rather, /fstab.qcom is used (in our phone). It cannot be edited manually, a boot.img must be unpacked and repacked in order to do so.
Did you mention that apps can write to /sdcard/ but cannot write to /storage/sdcard0? This ROM does not enforce write permissions as KitKat does by default, so I am not quite sure.

Two days after installed 0516,many folders were created by apps in ext-SD root directory(./storage/sdcard0/),while only two folders were found in internal storage(./storage/sdcard1/).And it seems that the two folders were somthing like being created while using recovery or something like that,unlikely being created by apps.
Cause I am using another rom to find whether the seq between internal and ext-SD is normal,yet I found that in android 4.0.4 there is no ./storage,so I cannot know the seq between internal and ext-SD.

In my ROM external SD (/storage/sdcard0) is the primary storage. This means Android creates it's Pictures, Download, Music & other directories there automatically.
/storage/sdcard1 is just a storage, like USB OTG storage would be. It's not in use if sdcard0 is present (some apps can still write to it manually like Camera).
The /storage is another jb/kk feature. I did not go with the older direct mounting to /mnt/ because it's just deprecated. Mine is configured according to this (Nexus One with internal storage added manually): http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

Thanks for so detailed reply.
But I still don't understand how to enforce write permission.As a perfectionist , I really don't want to see so many folders created by third-party apps in my ext-SD.
If it is convenient for you,could you inform me the way to enable the write permission in your rom? :fingers-crossed:
Hello!
These days I switched from Galaxy S2 to S4.
Now some apps like Whatsapp want to access sdcard0 to display the pictures from the chats.
The path from the database looks like this: /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media/Whatsapp Images/IMG-20141111-WA0001.jpg
But mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 or storage/sdcard0 has permissions rwx------ with no content of the internal SD.
The internal SD is linked to "mnt/sdcard" with permissions rwxrwxrwx.
Any idea how to fix the access problem between sdcard0 to internal SD???
Best regards
Frank

sdcard0 is your internal memory.
sdcard1 is your external memory (the actual micro sd card you bought or got with the phone).
That's how ES File Explorer shows it to me.
I have the same permissions you mentioned. What exactly is your problem?
Hi!
Sry, perhaps my english is nor very good...
My problem is, that Whatsapp will access the internal SD by sdcard0, but sdcard0 is empty or inaccessable!
CM 12 uses instead sdcard, not sdcard0
My Galaxy S2 has different permissions on sdcard0, can I change it permanently on CM12??? How??

So you're saying that you get errors from whatsapp?
I've used CM12 or rom based on CM12 and CM12.1 and haven't had any issues with apps accessing the sdcard, internal or external.
Yes, the App works, but can't display sent and received pictures from the last time...
I see only a blurred preview because of the sdcard0 directory problem...
I see. Do you have problems with other apps that need access to the internal memory?
I don't know what the problem could be, but one way to solve it is to try a different rom
I don't know exactly. My Phone isn't completely prepared....
I hab more problems to use the external SD, for example the camera app
Hi everyone,
I found twrp backup on my Redmi note 4g at data/media/twrp/backup/.... It's tooks my internal root memory storage abt 1.00gb+ I found when I searching for dump files coz my device running out of storage ,some cleaners shows my misc files has 1.00 gb+ .so I browsed all folders with root explorer (es file ex).
Note:I deleted all my backups from official location of custom recoveries(twrp,philz) from SD & ext SD card.
My question is if I delete those backup files my mob will brick?
Sorry for my poor english
You should bapckup to external sd card. You can delete your twrp backup files without problems.
