Got a new SDCard...

I'm running CM6 Nighties and WildMonks AVS/CFS Kernel but I've never done anything special with the SDCard. It's just the 4gig card that came with the Nexus One and I haven't formatted it since Eclaire, probably about 200+ flashes ago!
So... I got a new 16 gig card; is there anything special I should do before I start using this?
Oh, and can I just transfer the files over, keeping the directory structure or is there more to it?
Thanks a bunch,
Billy

you might want to give the EXT4 partition more space since there will be DATA2EXT

Alright. No other suggestions? I guess it's just an SD Card, right?

Yes, you can just copy files and it will work. At last works for me
I think without any moves it will stuck on boot, especially if you using app2sd.
Moved from sandisk 16gb to kingston 16gb.
Btw i always thought that nexus1 comes with 16gb card.. i founded my one in the box, box was sealed. It was Sandisk 16gb Class2, that i have changed to Kingston 16gb class6

might want to fill it up once or twice ot make sure you really have a 16Gb card before you trust your data on it.
there is a flood of bad / fake microsd cards out there now.

Make sure you copy over all this hidden files and directories too.

Download h2testw and run test on the card and makesure you get what you paid for.

Box was sealed..
Or Korea Telecom have found the way hot to broke it, put-in fake 16gb card, seal it and sell it.... via their own office

I can't really say, without more information. I don't really understand what you're saying.
It could be an issue with the drivers on your PC.

I would probably try to return to stock. This may cure the problem. Link here.
You're going to have to do your own research, now. Reading and searching, with the forum search button and google.
Good luck.

Hi, maybe you have the same bug, have a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483519
You seem to be affected by the same bug of the sdcard mount.
If you rebbot the system your sdcard will be correctly mounted.
Please vote the poll because we need to understand how to solve this bug.

Launching Apps via SD card

Hey guys,
This is something I observed over time, however to make it even more sure, I'd like to ask you all -
I've noticed that when an app, like Whatsapp is stored in the internal memory, it launches on its own after a reboot. I mean, I don't really need to open it first in order to get notifications/messages.
However, I've also noticed that If I move Whatsapp to my SD card, it will not run on its own after a reboot. If I don't open the app myself, I'll never get notified for new messages. Is this what you guys experience as well?
I found a solution on this forum.. Link2SD where you can create a partition on your SD card which can act as internal memory. If anyone if you have tried this, do the apps work normally (the ones in the partition) just like the apps in the internal memory?
If I put whatsapp in the partitioned space of SD card, I'd expect it to launch on its own, just like Facebook does, automatically after I reboot the device.

Look for the guide - 'link2sd for dummies' in general board by Carl - it should help you better understand things

It doesn't matter where the apps are stored they'll startup never the less it will just start later if stored on your sd card the only thing i can think of is that ur ram is overloaded as to many apps start at boot so apps on ur sd card which boot up after internal apps don't have "room" to startup as ur internal apps are hogging space if that's it then click on here in my Sig and look at the part on startup manger and app quarantine

Hmm u might like this app check it out
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...edium=organic&utm_term=autostarts+google+play
It helps u manage wat apps auto start when some function like boot up or connecting to internet happens.

I know the PE uses 6,50 GB for the OS

Now I check my internal storage for the rest, I should have 9.50 GB. It says I am using 7.99 GB which does not make sense, I have nothing downloaded on the device, other then the apps, which is says that is using 3.50 GB. I know I can use a SD card, but I would still like to know what is using my memory up. Any suggestions as to where all the storage is, TIA

No suggestions ?? I assume this storage is normal then ??

Do you have a custom recovery and did any backups? I think TWRP counts backups as system data.

Must be a normal thing then. I was surprised my phone also had so much memory taken, but I thought it's because of the recovery. Apparently not...

I'm on Stock MM 6.0, rooted and with TWRP 3.0.0-1 installed, and Andoid OS is taking up 10.82GB on my device.
So your values aren't terribly different from mine. I'm thinking yours is probably normal, then.

Well I decided to add a SD card to my device, and low and held, it allows you the option to use it as internal storage, which is nice, rather then a portable device, which you can also if you choose that. So I like the option of being able to use it as internal. Any reason why I should not do so, before I set it as such ??

@DJB628 I questioned this at first. By making it adoptable (internal) storage, it encrypts the card, so it can't be used on other devices. I have problems with that. Many times, my SD cards have "failed" in the phones, but I was able to use a card reader on pc to see files. I was able to transfer them to new card, put new card in phone, and done..... Can't do that if SD card is adopted to internal storage...

Got it, so keeping it as a portable storage is best :good:
Can't that be done, if the card is formatted and allow you to use it in another device. ??

Crazy I got on here for help bc of the same issue. I haven't installed a micro SD yet. I have the 32g version. Only have 23 apps installed, no music, no pics. Stock rom rooted systemless. Twrp 3.0 with 2 backups made. And somehow I'm already out of storage. I can't figure it out.

Wow that is crazy, something definitely does not make sense. I would call Motorola Tech support to see what they say, I will also next week, to try to make sense of this.

@Carolina_techy
Clearly something is taking up the space. Use a file manager or windows to explore. I bet you have some huge image files or tmp files. How much space is the twrp folder taking up?

I've checked mine both with Explorer and Windows and do not see any files large enough to be using up this much storage.

From what I can tell, it looks like the majority of that is coming from the 2 backups I have. I didn't think they would be that big though.

^^So the issue is resolved?
How much space is it taking up? I image a full image (system, boot, data), uncompressed is probably in the 2-4GB range? You need to enable compression when creating the backups. That saves some room.

Ahh. That is the issue I guess. I didn't enable compression on either backup

Missing internal memory storage space

My Moto X Pure (2015) keeps on losing storage space. I've reformatted the phone twice now and it always happens.
15gb - Total storage
6.5gb - Android OS
9.5gb - internal storage for everything else
Right now it says I've used 8.59 of the 9.5 gb. I can't install any more apps because of "insufficient storage". However the main problem is that I'm actually only using 4.5gb with the apps/cached data/ etc. Where did the other 4gb go? I've already tried to boot into recovery and delete the cache there.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am seeing the same thing.

Nope. My phone is practically unusable because of this as I can only add a handful of apps before it runs out of space.

Are you storing your backups on internal storage? Because that can eat up a LOT of space that you can't see

I haven't backed up anything, unless Android has a built in backup that I don't know about.

Ah, I was referring to backups done in recovery (nandroids).
The other potential culprit is app data. Game saves and per-app cached/temp files, things like that... but you couldn't even check that unless you're rooted. I lost 14gb on one of my nexus devices once and it was a combination of nandroid backups and miscellaneous app data.

Yeah, there is something weird here. I intend to root mine, and will attempt to figure this out. It seems to me like it may be related to the MM upgrade. I just have to wait until I get back from a trip.

Have any of u figure it out where is the space going? cause i just bought this phone 1gb model and im using like 6gb but it says im using 8.30gb so i have 2 gb missing somewhere and i havent been able to figure it out where... i tried formating cache but still the same :S tried a google search but no solution ether
***UPDATE***
I found the missing space, im guessing thats a new feature on the phone that some things r hidden in the memory for some reason in my case it was the nandroid backup, those were the 2 gb missing that i wasnt able to free, i had to root my phone, then go to /data/media/0 to be able to see it and there it was lol
