anybody interested in setting it up i dont have the requisite knowhow
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eigokyoukan:
I have not toyed with fstab myself... but I did find this page which seems to have want your looking for.

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

It isn't exactly what your explaining, BUT seems to go through the commands needed for what you are wanting to try.

Just remember to back up! Good luck!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ungaze:
Instructions:

-Suggested at least fat32 partition to be 1gig and the rest to your ext partition. Also, try to use root explorer for everything else. Must have init.d support.

1. On your SD card, make a folder to serve as a door/portal to access your ext partition files.(When testing this, I just used the default "/sdcard/media" folder)

2. Make a blank text file and name it as "11usext"

3. Using root explorer, edit the file and add this line inside it:

#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdcard/media

change media to the folder that you just made on step 1. Exit and save.

4. Using root explorer move this file to /system/etc/init.d

5. Again using root explorer, change the permission to "rwxrwxrwx"

6. Reboot and play. This would allow you to access your ext partition through the /media or the folder that you have created.

If this does not work, then you should give more details on what setup you are running.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilarrain:
That's a quite dirty implementation. All he want's is an ext4 partition mounted as /sdcard. I want to do the same, but right now I'm messing with the internal fs. I'll look into it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ungaze:
Dirty it might be(I even tried a dirtier one), but that's all he's got at the moment. If you have a better solution(even just a rough plan), please do share. Maybe we can exchange knowledge on stuff like these.

Would mean that no Fat32 partition exist, and I've never heard of anything like that.

And since no one answered this, I have no idea how you could transfer files to your phone without using card readers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilarrain:
Probably it involves messing with the init.rc (and I think that involves messing with boot and recovery images, but, I'm not sure) or init.d scripts or fstab. Anyway, I'm not sure, but it should be possible.

Yes. The /sdcard partition would exist, just not fat32 formatted.

Linux systems can read and write to ext4 partitions without problems. In fact, it's a linux filesystem. I had problems once when I had a sd_ext partition (for Apps2SD), because both partitions would get mounted when using mass storage mode, while Android only unmounts the /sdcard (fat32) partition, leading to file corruption (because of the same partition being mounted on both systems at once).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
We could create the partitions using gparted or cfdisk on a pc. I'm not sure, but maybe simply mounting it with different params (like the filesystem type and other options) at /sdcard would do the trick. Everything else that follows would be easy.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilarrain:
I've been doing some testing and research.

On recovery side:

I've done a little modification in Mik's ClockWork recovery to make it accept ext4 and vfat as valid file systems for the first partition on sdcard. It involves just a little change on /etc/recovery.fstab file, but then you need to rebuild the recovery image.

This is working fine.

On the OS side:

It's not an easy mod. It involves patching the vold (volume manager) and recompiling. There are some proposed patches to Cyanogenmod, but I don't know if it's been accepted and if it made it to Miks CM7 port.

I'll do some tests and post results.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] franciscofranco:
This got my interest :o
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilarrain:
Mik's CM7 (beta 6.2) recognizes and mounts the ext4 partition just fine.

BUT:

As vfat is a non posix fs, there wasn't any need for the OS to manage permissions, so it's a mess.

Applications on the SD card (I'm not using Apps2SD or Data2SD) don't load, internal applications can't be moved to SD, and many apps can't store data on the SD, even I've set read+write permissions on all files and directories (chmod -R 777 /sdcard/). I have no idea why. I'm stuck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
So, sometimes, for some reason. My text messages dont send.

For example, il send 1 text... (it wont succeed)

il send another text 3 seconds later.. (it will succeed)

And then when i resend the first message.. it sends it after the second message so its not in order. This happens quite a bit so im wondering if there is a messaging app that if a message fails, it will automatically resend it and resend them in order...

Thanks :D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NumbGreenThumb:
I'm just curious of everyone's thoughts. I love Android and now have a Nexus S. I love mucking about with it with new ROMs, etc. Anywho, my question is that I'm thinking of getting a Xoom this week. The thing is I'm a bit apprehensive about buying one right now as opposed to waiting another 4-6 months. Do you guys think anything will come out in the near future that will make it worth waiting?

From all the reviews and reading the forums, I think the Xoom is right for me. I suppose I just need a little reassurance. My main objective is using it as a semi-replacement for my laptop. At work I only use my laptop to send email, browse the web, view PDFs and Quicktimes movies. I realize that playing QTs seem to be a bit of an issue but I might be able to get around that.

Anyways...should I pull the trigger or wait?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
You will always be able to wait 4-6 months for something better. It depends if you actually want to get something. I got mine a week ago and love it, ive almost completely replaced my other computers. And once custom roms come itll be awesome
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NumbGreenThumb:
Yeah, that's pretty much my thinking. It's always the case, eh? I just know that HC is in its infancy at the moment and I suppose I'm just worried that when it matures, there'll be something 2x as better. Then again, that's the risk we take I suppose!

Thus far everyone seems very happy with their choice so I'm sure I will be too.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpstar:
I picked up a xoom for mainly a laptop replacement when at home and while on the road. It fills that gap pretty nicely. (Movies, emails, browsing the web, chatting with buddies on my xmpp server, etc).

The multi tasking ability of honeycomb is the #1 reason i went with the xoom.

I still use my laptop when at work for the development stuff I do.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeychef:
I tried finding my answer with the search and just going through the threads, but that didn't work to well. So here I am!

I just got my Galilio 2000mAh battery straight from China, but I do not know what to do to get the most out of it. Do I wipe battery stats? Do I charge it fully then discharge it completely? Is it safe to use SBC with the extended (I know it was safe with my stock battery because it hasn't blown up yet)? Are there any other ways to get the most out of it that I am missing?

Thanks for the help in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
An easy way is to charge it up to 100%, wipe battery stats, let it die complete, charge to 100%, let it die again, then just charge and use as normal. That works for me. And using an sbc kernel is just fine if its your preference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeychef:

[Nook Color General] jakehalligan:
have been running Cm7 7.0.0 encore for the past week w/o any problems.

don't have a spare uSD card yet so would like to put some media on NC via USB.

upon plugging into computer, nothing happens: no external drive appears, no recognizing, nothing.

is this a known bug in encore and do i need to flash to a more recent nightly for the fix or is there an .apk that i need to install to get drive capabilities?

thanks in advance
[Nook Color General] freyder:
seems like I read in another thread that there is an app you have to load for that as CM7 doesn't do it by default. I'll see if I can find the thread and post back here.

Greetings!

Is there a better Contacts replacement for the M2 and other Blurred phones? I've tried GO Contacts, but it just made me miss the stock Contacts app more...

I'm trying to get used to Blur's Contacts, but the name mismatching when linking contacts from different sources (Twitter, FB, Google etc) is extremely annoying.

Does anyone have any suggestions, apart from GO Contacts?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] Izzysoft:
Found one already? I used Dialer One on my old phone and think about using it on the MS2 as well, you might give that one a try. But that mainly affects the dialer, and not the contacts app. I was not sure which part you referred to...
[Milestone 2 General] Osni~*:
You could try Contapps.

BTW i'm using Go Contacts ATM.

[HD7 General] MrLeche:

[HD7 General] ThePhoenixUK:
At this point it's not likely as Microsoft have stated from the start that this Asus Device (E600) is a developement only device and will not hit retail, notice the serial number on the top of the device as each one is tagged to who it went to etc. The Chevron guys were each given one when they went to see Microsoft in January.

Would be nice if Asus did release some phones that had a similar design though, maybe they'll bring one out later this year once they can start using front facing cameras and such with the Mango Update.
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i will buy Nokia WP7 next.... if not will still stick to HTC top end device.... as once i made a mistake buying Samsung i780 WM device, and i will not make the same mistake again... nice looking or not but the user and mod base is biggest for HTC...
[Galaxy 3 General] rmu1985:
I thought of writing the steps which i followed when upgrading from Kyrillos V4.0 to V4.1. The steps which i mention here would be a copy from the instruction Kyrillos had provided. Just a customization which i did for upgrading to his latest version ( Assumption:- SD card partition is already done).

1)No need to wipe your data if you are on kyrillos' rom v3.3+

2)Go in titanium, find google maps and wipe google maps' data.

3)Shutdown your phone and remove sim. Don't remove sdcard!!

4)Go to download mode (Vol down + Home + Power).

5)Open Odin, click reset files, select ops, tick one package and select the .tar file. Click Start.

6)Once the download is complete, The phone will go in recovery mode. Just Click Reboot(No need for any Data or Cache wipe).

These are the exact steps which i followed and everything went smooth and all my apps and data were never lost..:):)

Wonderful work by Kyrillos on the ROM. You rock as always!!! :cool:

I have upgraded to V4.1 NonOC due to some freeze and lag issues which i faced with V4.0.

Hope this info might help some1!!!!

[Galaxy 3 General] rmu1985:
Yes this is exactly the same as I mentioned earlier..just a customization to kyrillos only when upgrading...

@kyrillos... V4.1 is simply awesome.. Battery life is good and most important thing is my phone did not freeze at all.. Thanks for the ROM

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
I've looked around and it seems I'm not the only one with this issue. For some reason I can only see paid apps and original Google apps in the My Apps section of the market. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Or if it even needs remedying? I'm just concerned that I won't be getting updates.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
So you're saying you have apps downloaded on your phone. But you can only see the paid apps. You do not see the free apps?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
Its funy you posted this... Last night I had the same issue. Usually when this happens, I would do a restart and its back to normal eventually. I think it's some problems on market.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Actually it's more random than that. I see a couple that aren't paid. I also have a feeling that this issue is created on Google's end. First of all, because there's always something wrong with the market, but also because like the previous poster, I've also seen something similar before but this is lasting longer than normal. It shows apps I've already got as NOT being installed, apps I've purchased as only being purchased but not installed and tonnes of them missing altogether even though they're on my phone and running fine.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Just flashed my Arc to get rid of all the orange bits n bobs. Only thing I'm missing that I liked was the email app that viewed my Hotmail account. The one there now seems very basic in comparison. So I can't get it to sync my Hotmail folders for example.

Anyway of getting it back or do I just have to live with it as it is?

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
But which app? The main email app is missing?
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
When I first set the phone up when it still had all the Orange branding, there was an Email app and Gmail was seperate. Went into the email up first and there was a list of different email providers, including Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. Put in my Hotmail details and it sync'd no problem and was doing push email. Could also sync all my folders and it appeared under Settings, Accounts & Sync.

Since flashing, you go into email, it doesn't list all the providers, you just put in your address and password and it tries to get the settings automatically. It does work, but it looks like a much more old fashioned version of the app. It also appears to be setup as a POP3 account and not push. It also doesn't appear in Accounts & Sync, so I can't sync contacts or stop it synching at night, etc.

I checked before I flashed, and the software version is identical. Android 2.3.2. Build 3.0.A.2.184. Only difference I thought I'd get was no Orange branding.

Cheers

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Dunno what app you had originally, but can recommend K-9 mail, much better than any of the stock email apps i've seen.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
The stock Email App is brilliant but I didn't have any Gmail, Yahoo choice etc.

And this app does everything you need actually.

As for custom email apps, I recommend ProfiMail.

I used this app on Symbian/UIQ, WindowsMobile and now Android

and this is brilliant, super powerful app. Almost no flaws.

It is expensive but actually worth it. Has also very good simple interface.

And is integrated with "Send To" of course.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
This email app I have now is unusable. If I delete a message in a browser, it doesn't update on the phone unless you delete and recreate the account which is obviousbly a pain. The one I had when it was still on Orange branded 184 firmware was way better. I'd actually rather go back to the branded firmware so I can get it back.

Anyone have a branded Orange firmware that I can flash back to, cause this email app sucks big time and I don't like the look/feel of the other ones I've tried either.

Cheers

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Why dont you extract the email app from the firmware and push it to your phone,

I would pull the app from my orange Arc but like you iv gone to stock firmware already.

Problem is finding the orange firmware to pull it from :S
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Yeah, that would be ideal, but don't know anybody that has standard Orange firmware. I also don't know how to add just that bit to my phone, but sure someone on here could do it. Just need to get the firmware now!!
