[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
Ok after some farting around i got it figured.

Plug in the hard drive to the gtab Before you power the gtab up if you can power the drive first, second make two scripts one for mounting and one for unmounting that way it there will be no conflict this is how i got it to work
[G Tablet General] lllooo:
Both my hdd are formatted with ntfs with additional power input.

I am still having the same error with the 2 separate scripts.

stderr : failed ---- for the umount script

stderr : mount: no such device ----- for the mount script

It might be due to my setup...

I will try this again when I try other rom and kernel.

Thanks Xargon321
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
try having your hd plugged in before you power on you gtab and see how that works. also make sure you giving gscript super user permissions.
[G Tablet General] chugger93:
tried the script thing. I get a no such device error too. Even tried powering it down, plugging in the 16GB NTFS flash drive, powering up the gtab, and running script. No such luck for me
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
Try using clemsyn's kernel. That's the one I have been able to get it to work on. I think pershots mounts it to a different directory so my script wont work.

Also make sure its plugged in and powered before you turn on your gtab
[G Tablet General] JudasD:
for pershoot's kernel you would use:

mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda /mnt/usbdisk

That should work.

also make sure that you download the libraries and put them in /system/lib, Then you could also add a line to the on-click script to use the NTFS library. Your script would like something like this:

insmod /system/lib/modules/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko

umount /mnt/usbdisk

mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda /mnt/usbdisk

That is what my script looks like on pershoot's kernel.

First time poster, but I have been reading on here for a while. For anyone reading this thread for solutions, someone on another forum put together a neat little application that you can run for ntfs disk mounting. I used it on my gtablet with VEGAn 5.11 with no problems with a 500gig NTFS, powered through the USB cable. This way you don't need to copy any code or do anything!

Here it is:

I make the NTFS USB external HDD with its own power supply work finnaly with the help of rajeevvp's article:

Thread: Mounting 2 storage usb devices View Single Post #8 20th May 2011, 05:01 PM

rajeevvp Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Bangalore Posts: 563

(I lost his link.)

The main rajeevvp's idea is to download the right version of ntfs.ko

"For this, you have to know which kernel you're running. There are 2 kernels that are commonly used on the gTablet: clemsyn's and pershoot's. I use pershoot's kernel so my instructions will be for that. The pershoot kernel supports NTFS filesystems, but, this support is not built into the kernel. Support is instead provided using kernel modules which you'll have to download first from the author's website and then load manually.

Download the correct kernel modules file for the running kernel. Find the kernel version first:

Code:

$ uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.32.40-cyanogenmod #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 13 17:37:53 EDT 2011 armv7l GNU/LinuxThe kernel version is 2.6.32.40."

Go to http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and download the kernel modules file for that kernel version

Then

Load the kernel modules (I'm assuming now that they're on /mnt/sdcard), then mount the HDD:

Code:

$ su

# insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko

# insmod /mnt/sdcard/ntfs.ko

# mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1/mnt/usbdisk (from Roebeet)

To unmount it

Code:

$ su

# umount /mnt/usbdisk

I use GScript lite to do the work. I can play large video file from /mnt/usbdisk (NTFS USB HDD)

Thank you very much Rajeevvp for your guide.

Hope that help.

My Gtab is running Brilliant Corners 1.3.1

I know there is a lot of kernel / Rom combos out there now, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good one that would give me pretty decent battery life. I'm currently using times_infinity's kernel with superclean rom. The battery life is meh at best imo; great speed however.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks,

This is a very subjective question. Results vary from device to device. The best thing to do is experiment yourself. There's no harm in asking I guess but you will more than likely find out that what one person experiences is different from what another person experiences.

Also, two more things: 1) You are posting this in the wrong forum. Try General. 2) There are lots posts on this already. :)

Any ron and any kernel will give you about the same battery life....... there's never a massive difference. If you don't care about performance any simple UV kernel is fine. I am running of kernel 1.3 ghz and battery is the same.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kallell:
My bad for posting in this area, I thought I was in general.

As for performance, that really is not a HUGE deal for me, pretty much anything is a upgrade from the stock crap USCC put out...

As it stands now, phone being completely idle without any involvement from me whatsoever, i'm losing about 5% battery life per hour; which doesn't seem very normal?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
Since this thread will probably get moved to Q&A, I'll just reply here instead of starting a new thread on more or less the same subject.

Anyway, can anyone shed any light on why there's such a difference in battery life between 2.2 and what we're were able to get on 2.1?

On DJ05/DL09, using JT's 1/23 undervolted kernel and a stock debloated rom, I was getting upwards of 72 hours on a charge. Now, on again, a stock but debloated rom, I struggle to get 24 hours on any of the currently available undervolted kernels. Why the difference?

I don't appear to be seeing any battery-life benefit from the latest kernels. On the stock EB01, I has been getting pretty much the same 24 hours. Now, with undervolted kernels and underclocked to 800mhz max, I'm still getting about 24 hours. I really miss getting 3 days per charge and not having to worry about toting a charger around with me just to get through a day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
I would suggest any undervolted kernel with any rom (possibly Superclean 2.9.2).

Use Set CPU and change max frequency to 800MHz from 1000MHz as you wont find much difference in performance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caly2259:
Superclean and underclocked eb01 to 800mhz
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kallell:
This is kind of exactly what I was getting it. My battery life seems horrid going to 2.2. Curious, what app are you using to monitor battery life?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
I had the same experience going from stock and dj05 to super clean. Right out of the box I had 40 hours of moderate usage, and dj05 was at 40% after two days of moderate usage.

Now with sc2.9.2 with jt's ec10 kernel and eb01 radio, I get 13 hours with losing more battery while in sleep.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
Yea, I'm really close to going back to 2.1 DJ05/DL09. On 2.2, I had been holding out for kernel source to be available so the devs could put together undervolted kernels. But now that that's happened, and not only am I not seeing any improvement, but I'm now underclocking just to make it through 24 hours, it just doesn't seem worth staying on 2.2.

For example, I started this morning with a full charge. I've made or received two phone calls, totaling 16 minutes. I've checked my e-mail a few times, and I VNC'd into a computer for no more than 2 to 3 minutes. I'm now at 32% remaining after 13.5 hours. At that rate, it'll be stone dead by 20 hours. And to get this, I have it clocked down to 800mhz, and 200mhz max when the screen is off.

I had been getting a solid 24 hours on the previous stock kernels - not undervolted and not underclocked. What gives?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
Screw it, I'm flashing back to 2.1.

Less than 3 hours, my phone sat, unused, screen off, clocked down to 200mhz, and the battery lost another 15%. Complete nonsense. In no possible way is FroYo worth this.

More than 5% per hour, on an idle phone, on an undervolted kernel and underclocked down to 200mhz.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splendad:
Still trying to figure this out

Hey guys; I've read lots but I'm not really getting a couple of things. First, I don't actually know what I have (except that it's Froyo 2.2.1) because I did do a full flash using SC or some equivalent so I'm going to post what I have. My question is: what could I change with this setup (which is running fine) to improve battery performance? From what I'm reading, I probably only need to update a kernel or something. Please advise; what would you change about this set-up to try to get more batter life on a VZW Samsung Fascinate:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crysis21:
Hi guys, I want to change my phone bootloader and also to a friend of mine. But I have some nasty experience with bootloader upgrading so I though that a discussion here would be good, so everyone know what to do in the future.

For example, I use ODIN for firmware upgrades, but as you all know it has a quite big rate of failures, caused by different reasons. On the other hand, we have Heimdall which is supposed to be safer and has more options than ODIN (bootloader flash only and such things).

The point is, while we are in download mode, and the flashing of bootloader fails, after restart... well... there won;t be a start anymore. The phone will be dead. What I was thinking is: what if we don't thick restart on ODIN or Heimdall and if flashing the boot loader fails, the phone will remain in download mode. Couldn't this be the opportunity to try again? After all, all we need is download mode.

We could try second time with Heimdall, or another full firmware with odin... what do you say guys?

Remaining in download mode gives us a second chance to bootloader writing?

Sorry if I've been really fuzzy in my ideas but I'm very sleepy right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
Unfortunately no. If a flash fails it's because the phone has stopped responding to commands. The phone won't continue responding to commands until you've booted into download mode again. It's for this very reason I don't actually have a "no reboot" option for Heimdall, it would be pretty much pointless.

However luckily if you're just flashing a secondary bootloader the device can still be booted up using a custom jig. This is because devices store a backup secondary bootloader that can be used if the first one is corrupt. A custom jig seems to cause the device to boot using this backup secondary bootloader.

However as far as I can tell if you stuff up the primary bootloader then you're toast. This would require a JTAG fix. I'm not actually sure if this has ever even happened though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crysis21:
The thing is, 4 months ago I ended up on JTAG. After messing the bootloader I managed to get download mode with custom JIG. But after that I don;t know exactly the mistakes I've made, but I ended up with a dead phone. No JIG working, nothing. So... yes it happened. I am toasted already with bootloader changing:)) that's why I was asking if remaining in Download mode helps with somthing.

Thanks for your answer
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
Sorry I should have been clear. I know there are cases where users have hard-bricked their phone and not even a custom jig would help so JTAG was required.

During the early stages of Heimdall's development, prior to the custom jig discovery, I bricked my device to the point of not being able to charge. This was because either boot.bin or params.lfs failed to flash due to a bug in a alpha release of Heimdall. We didn't know about custom jigs then so I was unable to actually test if it was recoverable.

However, all the hard-brick cases that I've heard sufficient detail about, turn out to be a result of users flashing a primary bootloader that was not designed for their device. So what I should have said is that I'm not sure if anyone has ever actually failed to sucessfully flash a primary bootloader (other than me with an alpha build).

Anyway unfortunately there's not a whole lot that can be done to 100% remove the risk of bricking. Either the secondary bootloader USB control software is buggy or the hardware itself is crap and sometimes it doesn't get on well with some people's USB ports. Unless we come up with a way to easily replace the bootloaders from the device itself then the best thing you can do is use a reliable USB port.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfreemanoh:
So...I can't install either of the two CM based ROM's I've downloaded. However, on the first try, I installed VEGan, and then tonight TNT Lite, with no issues. Any CM ROM I try to install just sits on the loading screen, regardless of how long I wait. Is there something special that needs to be done to install them, different than what I do for other ROM's? (Clear data/cache, flash the ROM, clear data/cache again, reboot.)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreandutch:
I believe you have ClockworkMod 0.8 recovery, since you were able to flash Vegan Rom.

In general, before you flash the different rom

1. Back up your current rom

2. wipe data (factory reset)

3. wipe cache

4. flash the rom

5, flash gapps

6. reboot

Hope this helps
