However, having both internal and external storage can be a problem, as well, since some Android apps are not programmed to read data on external SD cards.  Rather, such apps treat the internal storage as also the external storage; thus, such apps are unable to access the files you’ve stored on your external microSD card. MIUI-based ROMs often exhibit such a limitation.  Some MIUI-based ROMs actually are blind to files (such as music files) on the microSD card, so those …
