[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
It is a little fuzzy, but you have to go through each dev area to see if you are getting a customized kernel or not. Example: TNT Lite does not have oen, but gADAM does. I state this in my first post.

Customized kernels give you better performance and things the vendor has not added (like CIFS support). Going on two of the kernels I've seen, you might need to be fairly technical to use them.

I am mulling over adding a customized kernel to TNT Lite, and breaking my usual protocol. Still debating that.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiser771:
Can we load different kernals freely and switch between them if we want to try different ones? I'm on Vegan 7 and has pershoots kernal but i've also heard good things about clemsyns. I'm happy with the performance right now so if switching will open a can of worms id rather not, but if it's relatively risk free I wouldn't mind trying it out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
New kernels should not be taken lightly. Considered it the same danger as flashing a new rom.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charles77:
Thanks all but I am still wandering.

My kernel ver is 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty

hudson@tapntapsvn #16

Is this stock or not? If not is it a problem?

Thanks in advance
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiser771:
Thanks, I'll stick w the setup i have now, battery lasts all day and it's pretty fast.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pershoot:
you are free to upgrade your current kernel on vegan7, by flashing the .zip in my thread, through recovery, if you like.

this will bring you up to 2.6.32.36. be sure to flash the _gb file for gtab.

if you are using any external modules (cifs, etc.) those will also need to be updated. you can grab them from the lib..zip and push them to your system. instructions can be found on the droidbasement postings for gtab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achernez:
Finding good kernel install instructions is not that easy to find

Roebeet,

Please do as so far have not been able to find good kernel install instructions for the two ones you mention on your TnT Lite 4.x.x post. If you have somewhere good directions on how to update kernels please add/link them to your post as more than one technical nOOb like I are willing to read about it.

In case I do get lucky and you see this please invest 30 seconds reading this post as I hope it could help to increase speed as sdcard/sdcard2 have both the same cache http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012774

As always thanks for all you do and you will be enjoying a coffee/beer as soon as I get my gTablet delivered all the way down where I live (South America)... so you could imagine I am still have plenty of time to keep reading ;)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I deployed Clem's kernel to TNT Lite, this afternoon.

That sdcard item is interesting, but I'd have to really dig into it, more. It's an init.rc change so it would have to be added to a boot.img. Past experience has shown that it's best that I let some of the Power Users beta-test and report back first, before dropping it in a mod.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiser771:
ok I put the file "boot-cm_2632.36_gb-xtra-vfp_fp-032711.zip" on the tablet, should i wipe the cache or can i just apply the update. i already did a backup

edit: just did some google searching, I wiped the cache and dalvik, all is well, thanks pershoot!

Reminder:

If you installed CWM and Rooted zip from recent updates,

DON't DO EVEN Factory Reset from "Privacy" Tab of the OS.

It is clear that you should not do that in recovery menu,

just a reminder that you should not even do it from Privacy tab within the system menu.

It will reboot, and brick your device.

I am at work, I will restore my DS7 later when I am at home.

I thought the privacy reset is just to wipe USER data. But apparently, it wipes more than that.
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
By the way,

Restore from CWM wont help in this case.

Re-install dj336.zip wont help in this case.

Wipe cache/wipe user data/ re-install dj336.zip wont help in this case.

Seems the only way is to flash original boot and recovery and then do everything over again.

I am a little disappointed that the restore in CWM did not help at all. besides using it to flash dj's rom, what the hell other benefit we are getting from this CWM anyway?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamaredwingsfan:
What works for me is to take an use one finger to pry open the slot at the top and take the other hand an take my thumb and press down into the center of the cover where it says htc, that seems to make the cover spread open alittle for me anyway.

Careful removing cover, I got a little overzealous and cracked my stock cover on the first day! That sucks!!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
But in the end, I still don't see a need to remove the cover unless you are battery swapping all the time, but you should use the extended battery for that... :p
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemorrdroid:
I got tired of it being insanely hard to remove, so i slightly filed down each of the tabs on the cover, it comes off twice as easy now. Be careful not to shave off too much if you do this or it wont stay on.

I did a little bit at a time, and tried it out after each to make sure it still grabbed enough.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
That cover is a pain and I always feel like I am going to break it when trying to remove it. The two thumbs method has worked for me so far.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
I'm sorry but I just have to bump this. I'm ruining the finish on my TB because this cover is so insanely hard to remove that I have to pry the damn thing off with a screwdriver or key. In fact, I cant actually just wedge it in there, because the necessary force would send the phone flying against the wall. Instead I have to jam it in there, then twist it a full 180 degrees completley bending the case and scratching the lip all to hell before it finally pops up.

There simply has to be a better way! Anything that requires torque is GOING to cause scratches!

[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
I have a galaxy s, running android 2.2, and I was wondering if there is an app I can get which would make my phone emulate a USB flash drive, when the micro USB is plugged into the top.

The reason for this is I have USB input for my car stereo, as well as iPod/iPhone and all that fancy stuff, however that doesn't help for the phone I have. So I would like to be able to somehow 'fool' the head unit into thinking there is just a USB flash drive plugged into the USB input, but instead, it's actually the phone through the micro usb to normal usb cable. The head unit could then play music that is stored on the phone (hopefully by me selecting which directory to use as the emulation)

Is there anything like this around?

Thanks

Denno
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
I thought every Android device can do that. Just connect device, tap new notification and select enable. I have used G1 with my Samsung TV, so it works well with non-PC devices.
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
Is there anything special you need to do on the phone or on the tv to get to the location of the media files?
[General Questions and Answers] cwill0303:
I dont think it comes up with that option unless its connected to a computer. Like when you plug it in to charge it, it doesnt let you mount the sd card.

To OP, if your stereo allows you to plug into the headphone jack, you can use the music player to play the music and it will go to your car that way. I havent seen an app that will fool the phone into thinking its plugged into a computer or similar. Good idea though, I could see where an app like that would be useful.
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
It's not the phone that I want to trick into thinking it's plugged into a computer, it's the head unit. I want it to think that it's connected directly to a normal USB flash drive.

Unfortunately there is only USB and iPod inputs, no 3.5mm jack. I could hack one together, but I would much rather an app so everything stays neat :) lol.
[General Questions and Answers] chjade84:
I did it with one of my friends phones a while back. Plug into USB on the head unit and android should ask you if you want to 'charge only', 'mount as disk drive' etc. Just choose 'mount as disk drive' and the head unit will have access to all the folders on the SD card.

The folders with music in them are listed on the head unit's screen and you go from there.

Maybe it's less of a phone problem and more of a 'that particular head unit' problem.

Oh cheers chjade84, if that's the case, I might go try that now... Who cares if it's 3.44am :/ haha
[General Questions and Answers] chjade84:
I'll be interested to know if you get it working. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
No good :(. I tried both with USB debugging on, and with it off, and both times the head unit said Device Error when I selected USB as the source.. Bugga, not going to be an easy solution lol. Surely there would be a way of making the phone 'behave' like a flash drive when I plug in the micro usb (and subsequently select the app to do the fooling).. I wonder how hard it would be to program something like this myself... Probably too hard lol.
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
when I say debugging, I mean with the usb connected. I have debugging turned on on my phone, so I get a different screen to that in the video posted above. So I don't mean turning debugging on and off, I simply mean 'connecting usb storage', and not having it connected.. if that makes sense.. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Still you don't understand. Android works as normal USB flash drive already. But seems you can't use this mode, because Android does not detect, that it should enable it. cwill0303 is right, you need to somehow force-enable usb mode.
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
Oh i see, thanks for clearing that up, I didn't know android ran in that way..
[General Questions and Answers] chjade84:
You could try "Extended Controls" widget. It has a toggle for as "Mass Storage - enables and disables mass storage" although my EVO gives me the error "Your device does not support direct control of USB".

It's a paid app ($1.09) but it's well worth it for all the options it gives you for toggling stuff from your homescreen.

I don't know if it will help or not.

EDIT: See my next post before buying!
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Do you have root? You could try to run this command from a terminal:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

I could confirm that it works on my G1 and it enables USB mode permanently - if I unplug phone and plug it back, it will mount automatically. So I think it should work even with device, which isn't recognized as a PC.

Few notes:

I think it requires root permissions.

You will have to disable USB manually. If you won't do that then most probably you won't have access to your SD-installed apps and it may drain battery.

If it will work, you should be able to create some widget or other method to easily enable/disable force-mount.

EDIT:

To disable force-mount run: "echo '' > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file"
[General Questions and Answers] chjade84:
Try this app.

It's called Widgetsoid and it lets you toggle USB Storage - Connect/Disconnect SD card to PC.

And it's free!
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
I actually already had widgetsoid, so I tried with that widget, however it still didn't work. Still tells me 'device error' on the head unit display.

I do have root permissions, but I have no idea how to run terminals or anything, plus I think that's just going to be doing the same as the widgetsoid widget does...

I will have a look into the format type of the card and what the head unit can read...
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
Ok so I've just checked the file format of my sd card, and it's FAT32, which the head unit should be able to read.. So I'm out of ideas...
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
https://market.android.com/search?q=terminal+emulator&c=apps

or you could install SDK on your PC and run "adb shell" command.

You need root to modify /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file file and Widgetsoid doesn't need root for usb mount, so it definitely uses different method to enable it.

You could try to mount sd card from recovery. I know its an option on clockwork not sure about others.

[General Questions and Answers] onslaught86:
Having just gotten one of the Galaxy S family last week, they approach the USB options slightly differently from other Android devices (Due to Samsung's 'awesome' Kies suite, I believe). Assuming you're using Froyo, go to Settings/Applications/USB Settings and choose Mass Storage. Make sure debugging is disabled. That should trigger the regular Android mass storage interface when you plug in the microUSB cable.

It still might not play nicely though, most of those USB readers in stereos aren't good for reading anything bigger than ~4GB. Also, since the Galaxy S family have internal storage 'and' an SD slot, it'll mount as two mass storage devices instead of one, which may confuse things further.

Best of luck.
[General Questions and Answers] laydros:
I think it may be a matter of what the device sees on the cable. I would google around a little, but I expect you can do something like bridging two of the four contacts in the usb cable to trick the phone into providing usb storage.

DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM, MIGHT BREAK PHONE OR STEREO OR BOTH, but, it may be bridging the data and + contacts.
[General Questions and Answers] denno020:
Thanks for the replies guys. I will check this out tomorrow after uni :). If it doesn't work then I think I'm going to be hacking together an adapter to connect it from the 3.5mm headphone jack into the iPod input of the headunit lol :).

Hi denno020,

I was struggling with the same problem, but different phone - ZTE Blade. I finally found a solution : You need to enter clockwork-mod recovery the select "mounts and storage" and the "mount USB drive" or something and the car stereo recognizes my phone as USB flash drive. I am sure that there are other ways to do this I.e. through terminal and then shortcut. but at the moment it is the easiest way :D By the way My friend has Samsung galaxy S and after installing this recovery he could do the same. So it means it should work on your phone too :D

good luck :7
