Hello guys, on my yureka CM 12 stock rom not rooted, i am unable to write on the external SD card, so the pictures/ videos can't be saved to external storage. I cant even move files on SD card to another location on SD card. All this is only possible with the stock file manager, but any third party app does not work. I tried using Mi file explorer the one i have been using since ever. Any solutions? Thanks.
without root I think not possible
Try it using es file explorer it will show the screen shot to do it

Hello,
I want to know is there anyway we can disable internal USB storage when we connect to USB. I need it because when i drive i like to plug my phone to my car so that i can listening to the music which i download, but the problem is at the same time i also use sygic as GPS. The problem rise when both of storage mounted and i cant access the GPS.
Thank you
I would also like to know how to do this.
One idea that may/may not work is to write a script that unmounts the internal via terminal. Then connect your phone via USB and remount the internal SD.

Just curious, which head unit model and ROM are you using?
It looks like there is a setting in the file:
/system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/xml/storage_list.xml
<storage android:mountPoint="/mnt/sdcard" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" androidrimary="true" android:removable="false" android:allowMassStorage="true"
It may fix solve the problem by setting allowMassStorage to false, but this would require recompiling framework-res.apk and I haven't found a way to do this yet.
The Multi Mount SD-Card seems to have an option to mount only one storage volume, but it doesn't seem to work with CM9...
My phone has phone storage 2.95GB ,internal storage 52mb ,and external storage 8GB.
So can i hide or disable internal storage by fix file "system/etc/vold.fstab"?
I wanna hide disable it.
Please help me !!!
Why don't you use aux?

Could some one help me out here? I tried connecting my phone to PC. I was able to access storage, however, I couldn't access " data/media/clockwork" from there since I only seem to have access to my phones sdcard folder.
Next I used root browser to try and move the files to my SD card. Didn't work. It copy and pasted but the file either didn't get copied or its size was 0 bytes. Tried deleting one backup. It says is been successfully deleted but it stays there and no space frees up on my phone. I'm clueless as to what I should be doing next. Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Move or copy the clockworkmod file straight to the sdcard. System and Data files are not viewable on the pc. Just copied a nandroid to the sdcard with Root Explorer, no problem and it shows up when connected to the pc.

You can also delete backups when in CWM itself, in case you didn't know
Thanks for help guys. It was a simple solution, but often the simple things are overlooked. There must have been something wrong with my superuser permission. Restart fixed it.

I'll explain my case so it's easier to understand what I'm asking (I'm not an Android developer but I need to know if what I want is possible in Android).
The company I work for would like to be able to create an app that has lots of videos, audios, and other assets. The idea would be to allow users to install this app without having to download it, for 2 reasons:
1. Very big size
2. Target users won't have good internet connection (that's also why the option to stream the videos and audios doesn't work either, they have to be in the device).
I've been thinking about possible ways of doing this, but since I don't know very much about Android development I have a couple questions. Please note that all this has to work with unrooted devices:
1. Is it possible to install an app "manually" in the device? By that I mean without using Google Play, just connect the device to a computer and install the app
2. Is it possible to install an app in an external SD card or USB drive connected to the device?
3. Is there a size limit for apps in Android?
4. Let's say we create the app without the assets (videos, audios, etc) embedded in it. Then we manually copy the assets to the Android device's storage (internal or external). Can we code the app so it asks users where those assets are (for example on their first run of the app) and be able to use them from within the app (let's say play videos or audios with an internal player)
Any advice on this would be highly appreciated!
1. Yes, you just turn on the option to allow installation from unknown sources. I use this all the time to test my apps when I don't have my data cable.
2. I can move my apps data to external SD card but alot of the newer phones are not coming with external cards anymore. I am not sure about USB drives though.
3. Last I read it was 4GB
4. Yes this is possible

Thank you very much for your reply!
Just a question about point 2: can you do that in a non-rooted device? Also, when you talk about "moving" the app to the external SD card, does it mean it has to be installed first in the internal storage of the device and then moved to the external SD card? Or can it be installed directly in the external one?

I agree with you.
Just a note on 2: You cannot install it directly to the SD card. You have to install it on the internal memory first, before you can move it to the SD card.

You need to install it internal first.
Sorry I wasn't clear on #2. @nikwen is correct.

This link shows you how to move apps: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/move-apps-from-internal-storage-to-sd-card/
Also, look at 3rd screenshot of the phone and it shows you the check box for allowing apps to be loaded without the play store.
OK, thank you all for your replies!

What about the install...loc... Mainfest Tag
If we set it to external_only will it first install in internal and then move it to internal ??

I think so.
EDIT: Is there really an external_only value? I was unable to find it here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html

And it just tells the system where it should be installed first. The user will be able to move it afterwards.

I just added a new 128gb SD card to my phone.
It recognised it, formatted it, and moved some stuff over after setting up.
This was all done by the system.
The problem is, now in recovery, I can't find my download folder. I don't recognise the folders in recovery when I click install.
I can't find any folders I recognise.
Can someone please help.
I think you have formatted sd card and made it internal storage... TWRP goes nuts when sd is formatted as internal and can't read it
Don't worry everything is alright and if you want to backup or flash via TWRP then you have to copy ur files in root i.e. real internal storage on phone and it will show up.
Also you can attach pen drive formatted in fat32 so you can copy or flash from it
