A USB coupler? I have the adapter, thats not the problem. The problem is I keep getting permission errors and what not. Read my post a few posts back to see what i am talking about.

Thanks,
[Xoom Android Development] antiguangenius:
the coupler is for people that cant find the conversion cable...
[Xoom Android Development] BrokenPixel:
Did you do?

chmod 755 /system/xbin/ntfs-3g /system/xbin/umount_force

to get permission?
[Xoom Android Development] Didact74:
yes i did.

I figured out my problem. It was my drive, not the script. I found another drive and it works fine now.

Thanks,

mount external sd card ntfs

after spent half a day, i can mount my external sd card 16 gig NTFS ,just change a little bit at

ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p /mnt/external_sd

but I saw an error command showed

Couldn't set local environment, using default '(null)'.

ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy

but when browse to external sd card i can see all the files there, but I can't play vdo from there yet 'coz Nemoplayer can't browse sd card :-( Roakplayer doesn't work either.
[Xoom Android Development] Jewremy:
Tried that, won't work.

You need a cable made for it. Pins 4 and 5 (ID and Ground) need to be shorted, otherwise the Xoom won't know that it's a host device.

You need to DIY it or order it from eBay. As soon as I find some in the US, I'll start shipping them.

NTFS Mounting App

Hey guys,

I've created an app (based off the OP) which simplifies mounting NTFS drives. I know it works for the Iconia but I was wondering if somebody here would be willing to try it with the Xoom.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13337600&postcount=6

Cheers
[Xoom Android Development] hawk2k8:
That's great, thx!

It works on xoom without any problem.
[Xoom Android Development] Hyperion82:
I've been waiting for an app for so long !!

It would be amazing if you guys could optimize the app to work on xoom !!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :)

put it on the market than, throw in some adds :)
[Xoom Android Development] teo91:
Is it ok for wifi xoom and HC3.1 ? Can you say me, please ?
[Xoom Android Development] mengmengbug:
Have the same question, please....
[Xoom Android Development] hawk2k8:
It works on xoom 3G version 3.1.

It should work on wifi version too, because it has nothing being related to 3G radio module.

No need to push any file to xoom, just install the apk, then you can mount NTFS disk within this tool.
[Xoom Android Development] teo91:
Wich apk ?
[Xoom Android Development] Hyperion82:
Got it to work on wifi only 3.1 :d

Well guys - IT WORKS !!! :)

I'm with 3.1 on wifi only version.

what I did :

1. downloaded the apk from HERE (NTFSMount1_2.apk 204.8 KB)

2. downloaded the ntfs-3g stuff from HERE

3. unziped the file (you could use the root explorer)

4. discarded all the files but ntfs-3g file

5. followed the instructions from the first page of this post :

adb remount
adb push ntfs-3g /system/xbin
adb push umount_force /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/ntfs-3g /system/xbin/umount_force

you could probably use the root explorer by pasting the file to the system/xbin folder and changing permissions (click all of them)

6. install the APK

7. connect any usb drive (I've tested with sandisc 16 gig key)

8. goto the NTFS Mount app

9. you should see your drive there

10. mount

11. enjoy :)

P.S : could see the mounted device via root explorer only (File Manager HD didn't see it...)

MANY THANKS TO THE CREATORS !!!
[Xoom Android Development] teo91:
I have a problem or I did not understand, but my sdcard (8GB NTFS) is not seen in ntfs mount, is this normal?

Or does it work only with external HD?
[Xoom Android Development] Hyperion82:
I believe its for mounting external storage.

You simply need an optimized kernel with SD card support.
[Xoom Android Development] teo91:
I think I have a good kernel (110515Kernel Overclockathm1-c0-Fi) I see the sdcard when it is formatted in

FAT32

but

not NTFS format

.
[Xoom Android Development] hellcat82:
Sadly to make mounting a little easier I limited device detection to external drives (sd*). Sdcards don't follow the same naming style.

Theoretically sdcards should be able to be mounted if I remove the naming filter. Maybe an Advanced option as you'd need to know what your sdcards dev name is.

[Xoom Android Development] quickmetal:
having issues

OK are u guys using self powered USB drives or external powered drives? I've followed the instructions but the only drive I can get to work is my starcraft 2 collectors edition USB stick. Its four gigs. I've tried using 3 different USB powered hdds but no success.. they don't even spin up, I did make my own cable to enable USB host by grounding pin #4, and if the USB stick works then it can't be the cable can it? So my only question is power..
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
I'm using a self powered (ie only powered via usb) 1TB external HDD and a purchased OTG cable. If your HDD's don't even start up then yeah it sounds like not enough power is getting through. Mine initially lit up and spun up, but showed as empty until I loaded the little app mentioned in my post above which mounted the NTFS drive.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Mine is one of the smallest but it is not recognized by the Xoom, while my thumb drive is, no problem. I think I will get the powered hub and see if it needs more juice.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
What format is your hdd? If it's ntfs you need an app to mount it first. Try this one, it works for me
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Thanks, I had downloaded it and tried to use it. The HD is ntfs and I think I still need the powered hub. I'm getting one today and will try again.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
AFAIK powered hubs don't work, you need a USB OTG cable.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Yes, I've got the cable (Moto camera connection kit) and my thumb drive works fine.

Which of the three listed apks should I use? I downloaded the 3rd one and had the results I posted. I followed the thread carefully but couldn't tell what the differences were in the apks.

I appreciate the time you are taking to help me with this.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
I also used the 3rd one v1.2. I'm assuming the others are just earlier versions. With my USB OTG cable (not the Motorola camera connection kit) and the NTFS mount app (v1.2) all works fine.
[Xoom Android Development] sgtagem:
not to be an idiot but you say " no need to push any file to android anymore." but then in step 2 you say to push files over. so does the APK work for xoom or do we still need to push over files. I might be over thinking here but I cant seem to get any usb storage to work but my mouse and keyboard are working
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
The initial post required the push via adb, but the post has since been updated to say that there is now a new method, so it is now no longer needed to do all of the push instructions. Just side load the apk.

I see as per your signature your kernel should support usb host, but do you have a USB OTG cable?
[Xoom Android Development] jhax01:
Care to fess up on the model # / brand? I'd like to replicate your success without guesswork! :D

[Xoom Android Development] EwanG:
I have a Xoom flashed with Tiamat's 3.1 and his 1.4.4 kernel. I just got a Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable which I understood supported Host Mode. I installed the Mount NTFS 1.2 apk.

I then attach my USB cable to my 4TB Hard Drive on one end, and to the Motorola cable on the other. I turn on my HD and let it spin up. I then attach the Motorola Cable to the Xoom and wait for a full minute to make sure it is getting time to see the drive. I then run the Mount NTFS program. When I run it, it does not see the HD and gives me no Devices to select.

Is the problem here the Motorola cable, the order in which I'm doing things, or something else?

I'm getting ready for an extended business trip, and would like to avoid having to get a laptop or PC just to be able to work with files off my external HD. I thought I had the answer here, but... ???
[Xoom Android Development] qwerp_:
are you sure your 4tb drive is being formatted as NTFS? if you plug in a FAT32 device, it will only show under /mnt/usbOTG/ instead.

the above method only works for NTFS partition.

i recommend you to plug it onto a PC and double check the FS type.
[Xoom Android Development] EwanG:
Yes, my 4TB is NTFS. It's the drive I use everyday that I pulled just for this experiment. Thinking it might be the sheer size of the drive, I have also tried a 1TB drive and had the same experience.

I then got one of my 16 GB USB sticks, and it mounted just fine as FAT 32. When I reformatted as NTFS and tried to attach, the Xoom did recognize the stick, but went a little haywire as if it was trying to mount the stick as the SDcard (i.e. File Explorer showed no files on SDCard and the stick did not show up on the /mnt anywhere either).

Am now suspicious of Tiamat 1.4.4 since I have noticed if I try to hook my Xoom up via USB Cable to my desktop, it no longer shows as external storage. Am contemplating going back to 1.4.3, but I am not sure that would fix this.

Anyone out there with a 2TB or larger drive that is externally powered that has been able to successfully mount to a Xoom? If so, specifics would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] brandenk0:
Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of a problem trying to use the app made by hellcat. Whenever I tried to open the app it would immediately force close. Any ideas? Also when trying the first way posted by the OP, whenever I tried to push the unmount_force file it would state "cannot stat 'unmount_force': No such file or directory" even though I clearly had the file in the tools folder. The ntfs-3g was pushed over perfectly fine. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Found a post with another person stating that he encountered the same thing. We both had the Tiamat Rom installed. Would this be the cause of the trouble?

Edit: Restored to stock rom and tried installing the app again. Installed perfectly and no force closes. So if anyone is having a problem with the app force closing and they're on the Tiamat Rom, then the Tiamat Rom is the problem.

can I use hellcat's apk with the stock kernel? I've recently rooted, but have not flashed a rom or kernel and wanted to know if that was a requirement with the apk.
[Xoom Android Development] AspenMan:
I use this USB host cable and it works great (you have to use a USB "HOST" cable, not just a regular cable. Have tested it with my 750gb Oyen and 320gb WD Passport external HDD's, several usb flash drives (8-16gb), San disk USB memory card reader, and a USB keyboard.

For those having issues getting their Xoom to recognize USB storage devices here's what I've got and did to get it to work: I flashed my XOOM (3.1) to the 2.6.36.4 Tiamat_Xoom-v1.4.4-Full_Throttle Kernel and was unable to get the USBMount to recognize drives or storage at first.

I installed USB Mass Storage Watcher from the market (it's free) and it works awesome! Can mount any storage I want (NTFS, FAT16/32, HFS, HFS+, EXT2, ETX3, EXT4) with any capacity. I think this app will work with any rooted Xoom (or other devices). Under my Kernel my USB host is located under mnt/usbOTG.

Hope this helps.

Pressing "L" will take me to the calendar, pressing "c" will take me contacts and there are a few others like that. I only started having this problem after rc2 and at first it wasnt a big deal. I would just reboot the phone and it would work normally for a few days then it would start again. But recently I find myself having to reboot phone after a few messages or just use the swype (which I hate using). I have done a full wipe and reinstalled to no avail. Also issue only seems to be on cm7 I tried miui rom and that worked.

[Droid 2 Android Development] xenokira:
Honestly, I've had better battery life with the rooted GB ROM than I did with Froyo. Did you SBF before you installed the GB ROM? The approach I took was

SBF

Factory reset

Re-root stock ROM

Bootstrap to CW recovery

Install GB ROM

One more factory reset.

Reboot after initial setup to resolve assorted issues
[Droid 2 Android Development] Abowersq:
True story. Went 70% when I went to bed
[Droid 2 Android Development] reddawn1563:
battery drain

You should consider following the steps from what the person before said. I have had GB since the day it was available and now am De-odexed and I have to say the battery life on this thing is great. Maybe you didn't clear everything by resetting data and cache before you flashed new GB version
[Droid 2 Android Development] snowblind64:
Like others I have found that this GB leak is very fast and has great battery life. I was on Liberty v1.5 prior to the update.

One thing I found is that a factory reset from recovery is not as effective as a factory reset from the privacy menu under settings.

Here is how I got all the bugs out.

1. SBF to stock and factory reset from privacy menu under settings.

2. Root and Bootstrap, then reboot into recovery.

3. Factory reset from recovery, clear cache for good measure.

4. Install GB.

5. Factory reset from recovery.

6. Reboot

7. Skip account sign-in and perform final factory reset from privacy menu under settings.

By doing the final factory reset I got rid of all the little bugs like missing notification LED's and syncing issuse. I also noticed that some of the default settings were changed such as haptic feedback for the keyboard being enabled after flashing but disabled (as it should be) after factory reset.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bsimss:
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ic. yea i shoulda done a SBF, the only thing i did was clear cache,

THANK YOU!

for the sbf should i do 2.3.20?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
Yes that is the correct SBF.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
Battery life on D2 GB was better than liberty 1.5, however there was a known issue on 1.5 that caused some instability and massive battery draining. In comparison to the stock froyo builds with blur, the GB build is a massive improvement, however I'm still not seeing the same battery life I was seeing on Fission or UDRC2, no matter what tweaks I've performed on GB. Now running Liberty 2.0 after I goofed up my GB installation (playing with a theme broke some framework stuffage, restoring a recovery broke everything, no idea why) and my battery life is about double what I got on GB.

The blur framework and system files put a much heavier load on the system than what a stock system does, hence the reduced battery life. Tweaks to voltage, governor, and clock settings help, however it's not enough yet. Also, since all hardware is slightly different (due to production tolerances), please keep in mind that YMMV.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kiwilit43:
Another thing I found in GB is the stock battery mode settings. It works similar to the way Juice Defender works, and nearly doubles my battery life with the custom one I created. I realize older versions of Android had a similar battery mode setting, but it never seemed to do much before, at least for me.
