After my phone (Verizon Droid Turbo 2) updated to Marshmallow it no longer calls my SD card "sdcard1". It looks like it is mounting by the media's serial number. Now any app the was referencing files on sdcard1 is lost. The data is there it's just the path is no longer valid. Is there a way to restore the sdcard1 path?
Thanks,
I have encountered this problem =...=

I just got the atrix from radio shack and trying to make my sd card from the epic work... all my files are in there including key files, backups etc...
well the atrix has a 'sdcard' folder and the epic's is now sdcard-ext
I need to make the current sdcard folder disappear and make the sdcard-ext the default sdcard folder...
how do I go about this?
Really? nobody has anything on this!?
The sdcard folder is hard coded into the stock atrix firmware. It may be possible to make the change by rooting and deodexing the firmware.
Easier option would be to just use the included file explorer or one from the market to copy the files over to the internal storage.

I did that, which is PITA. and problem is, anything that stores data (like text logs, backing up data) is all going into sdcard, not sdcard-ext
so when I wipe data for whatever reason, I'm loosing everything everytime...

some apps will give you the option to save to a certain location but most are set to default to your sdcard(internal storage). its because android doesnt assume that you will be using a external sdcard. just backup the stuff you want to keep on your sdcard before you wipe it...what do you mean by making the sdcard folder disappear? sounds like you dont want to use the internal sdcard at all?
Hey, there is a possibility that may work for switching internal and external sdcards.
In /etc/udev folder, there are configuration files for naming the devices. If we can create a configuration file that will force the atrix to mount the external sdcard as if it is the internal card, then what you want will work.
I will experiment with doing this from the adb command line, but this might need to be requested under the development forum.
If I have any success in this, I will start a thread under development and see if we can create an automated method for doing this. Since some apps don't know about the external card, this could be quite handy.
Hey, so I have successfully swapped the internal and external sdcard mount points, the trick is to edit the file /system/etc/vold.fstab
There are two lines that set the mount point of the internal and external storage. Once these are swapped, the cards change mount points, and the external is now mounted on /sdcard instead of /sdcard-ext.
If you have experience changing /system files, you can make this change yourself.

Is it possible to change the Location name of the sdcard from Extsdcard to sdcard1? Some of the applications i use detect the sd card only if its SDcard1 and not ExtSDcard, im running a rooted 4.4.2 right now, Thanks in advance
I don't believe it's possible to change it as I think it's hardcoded in the ROM. However, a symlink may be possible. Check here and see if it may be useful.
I have an unlocked bootloader, but I'm not rooted. I upgraded to MM via OTA and set my SD Card to be used as internal memory. I've had some problems since:
1) The first real issue is that Evernote is giving me a database read/write error and not working. It seems that to resolve that, I'll probably need to root. So, I went to do a MM nandroid before rooting
2) When i went into TWRP (i a had flashed 2.8.7.1-clark), and tried to create a backup, I received a Failure: E: Unable to mount storage (one note: the top of my screen shows TWRP 2.8.7.0, not .1, so i double-checked that i was using the correct version from https://dl.twrp.me/clark/, and I am. The file name is 2.8.7.1, but it appears on screen as .0. Is anyone else seeing this?)
3) When i go into the Mount screen and select storage, it is showing Internal as just 2+GB free (which is correct), but 0MB for my Micro SDCard. So, it can't mount it.
4) Looking around, the fixes for this seem to be a bit severe in terms of formatting the SD Card again, etc. (ex. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354029)
So, my questions are:
1) If anyone knows of a solution to that Evernote issue, that would be great
2) More importantly, what my options are for fixing the Backup problems
3) Specifically, with my SDCard now supposedly acting as internal memory, if i format the card per the common fixes, will that cause other unexpected problems with apps and other functions that are now using my SD Card as usable storage?
How did you set SD card as internal storage. Me: stock, no root, MM

I'm giving up on combined storage until twrp is fixed.
You just go into settings, storage, then click on the SD card. I'm back to lollipop at the moment, so I cant say exactly what to do next, but I think from there it should be clear. It may be an option up in the overflow menu at the top right. It will make you reformat your card as part of the process .
Thanx Chuck! Need to b.u. before formatting as internal...
I had the same issue with the SD card set as internal, couldn't make a twrp backup, so I had to reformat as storage and it works. Only bad part is now I can't move apps to SD
Is there a twrp fix in the works??

I don't have MM installed, so I don't know about the rest of it. But I've flashed the 2.8.7.1 IMG twice now and my TWRP still says 2.8.7.0 on the top of the screen. So either we're both making the same mistake, or TWRP didn't update their version number in the recovery.

It's a known issue that the version displayed stays on 2.8.7.0 after updating.

Hello all I recently installed XInternalSD from xposed app. Before I did this if I opened Root Explorer and clicked the /sdcard path it would show the files on the internal memory. Now it links to emulated/storage/legacy which is blank and only 900MB in size. Is that correct? I swear it's not.
/storage/emulated/0 shows my internal files just fine, and extSDcard shows the files on my external SD card just fine.
The main reason for this thread is my Titanium backup is failing now because the backup location is set to /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup and it says there isnt enough free space. This process worked fine before I installed XInternalSD. I can set it to my external SD card I suppose, but read somewhere that post Android 4.2 it should point to legacy.
I am running CM 10.2.1, Android 4.3.1.
Anyone have any experience or advice?
Can anyone tell me the folder path (from ROOT) for the external SD Card? I only ask as I can't seem to locate it in Root Explorer or Titanium Backup. I'm going to be backing it up and don't want to put it on internal storage for obvious reasons.
I looked in:
/mnt (including subfolder /sdcard)
/storage
Both are internal.
I have a feeling that it may not be showing for some reason. TB was pointing to /storage/emulated/0 (internal), but I changed preferences and got it to point to [External Storage]/TitaniumBackup (which is correct). I had to change my "Storage Provider" to "DocumentProvider Storage" in order to enable TB to backup there. Root Explorer still won't allow this.
If I have to do something special to Root Explorer to get it showing, please let me know. Perhaps this is something that changed with Marshmallow?
