*N00B Alert*

I just downloaded this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769026

I'm trying to change the DPI back to 240. The guide seems easy enough; use a text editor and change the value in the file.

However the problem is that I can't seem to save the changes I have made. Read Only?

I'm new to these things so I'm problem doing something fundamentally stupid. The rom is already rooted I think.

BTW in b4 "lolololoool use search tool on forum". I already have, but my android lingo isn't good so I'm probably searching for the wrong thing.

Using "File Manager" and "Text Edit" apps to find and edit the file respectively.

Thanks

Context/Resume:

-I´m changing the android platform to create two partitions in a SD Card. I need to do this as early as possible. I´m currently trying at init.rc

-It would be nice to obfuscate the access to one of the partitions. If i could keep ithidden would be better

And...the long story:

I´m trying to create new partitions in a sdcard in a device, and i need to be done as early as possible. I thought that the init.rc should be the best location for this, so i tried to add a script call to perform the task, but i´m unable to create these partitions ( or get information of the reason of fail ) First of all, is this premiss valid? Should i be able to do this?

I call the script by:

service myscript /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/myscript.sh

disabled

oneshot

at init-time

And the content´s of the .sh file is

fdisk /dev/sdcard < mykeys.input

where "mykeys.input" is the sequence os keys used to perform the taks of create the partitions.

Well, is this the recommended way to do this?

thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blackadept:
Not to sure bout the boot order and its effect on what you are trying to achieve. What phone and os? You might want to look at your phones logs to see in what order what/which/where is going on when. As that could explain your issues a bit more clearly and possibly even provide the mystery errors. If not try running it in an emulator where you can make the boot up verbose and boot log it.

As for hiding the partition have you tried formatting the sdcard outside the phone environment. The hiding ability should be able to be gotten if you were to format in gparted I.e. Format it how you want size wise and format wise, then for the partition you want hidden flag it lba. Not sure if lba hides from your phone or not, but worth a shot.

*edit* what are you trying to achieve again? Dual booting os on phone? If so, I would take a look more towards the /dev/loop and chmod approach. Also keep in mind if this is what you are aiming at you might want to make 3 partitions as a swap partition would be beneficial.

What i want: Ensure that there is two partitions in a sdcard as early as possible. ( i must create them if needed ). My focus now is in how to create. The logic of "if/when" todo a will deal later.

Why i want this: Project requirement. Not negotiable.

What will be stored: Part1 : User acessible. Nothinf special. Part2: Special Data user by an apk.

"Phone model": It´s a tablet. STI´s tablet. Android 2.2
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blackadept:
Well the partitions will be there just from formatting the card, as to whether or not the init sees that I am not sure. I'm one of them poor simple folk who ain't got no money....aka I don't have the fun fancy toys like a tablet. ;) haha. Only reason I bring that up is for the fact that being as I am not around them, literally haven't even seen one let alone hold lmao, not sure how it's boot up goes.

Have you tried creating a partition and formatting it with various flags such as lba to hide it from the OS? If we are talking small sizes here then I'd think you could hide it within such a flagged partition surrounded by fluff. Throw some encryption into the mix and your gtg. At that point all that's left for you to do would be writing script to navigate the maze and unlock it. If that would work then it would be a fairly easy out.

Otherwise we could go back to the "dual booting" that I brought up in the last post. Being as my phone can't mnt to bin *droid x.....hate u Motorola* I have done all of my dual and triple boots via looping thru /dev. This could work for you as well, tho again I'm not familiar with the tablets. If you did that tho..... well you could hide it in a myriad of ways.... flags, encryption, straight up "Where's Waldo" type shenanigans....

Have you ever put an ARM OS onto an android device before? If so, maybe give it a shot and let me know? Only question I'm wondering, tho, is android's ability to see the flag and be able to handle it. Also as to the level of root that particular device has (regular not-so-super user like my phone or is it completely unlockable?) would determine a game plan too in a way. If you have full access then you could just format the card thrice (sorry always wanted to use that in a sentence and feel all smert), making a special ext3 partition with the flags or encryption, make note in the root mnt's of it's existence thru your init script (tho just giving physical note to it.... not size or content). Write your .apk or specialized script with the UUID or GUID or w/e the *beep* android uses this week, and again you win at android....

Sorry for the long winded verbal response....lately I always seem to post when I ain't slept for 2-3 days as opposed to when I ain't delirious...

The limited warranty is one of two things:

OR

The standard 1-year warranty for defects.

Excuse me for the dumb question, but how do you take a snapshot of your homescreen on DX2? Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
You need some sort of screen capture app (like drocap2) and be rooted. I think there may be ways to do it without root, but I'm not sure.
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
You use a screenshot program like drocap, shoot me, screenshot it. The one I used was screenshot it. The others diddnt seem to want to work.

Does anyone know of a good simple customizable weather widget? I'm having a hard time finding an all black/white one that doesn't include a clock.

Oh and another thing. Any recommendable lock screen changers? I'm just looking for a glassy black/white clean design. I looked through almost everything I could find and found most to have bad reviews for being buggy. That's pretty much all I got left till my phone is exactly how I want. I'd even be happy if I could change the default one to be black/white. Is it possible to simply edit an image file somewhere on the phone to achieve this?

One last thing, is there a general home screen icon file location / file type? I'd love to go through a couple to black/white them in photoshop.

I received my Transformer about 3 1/2 hours ago. So far I think it is just great!! I do have a question I bought a 16 gb micro sd card and there are no instructions I can find in manual and I have been unable to install the card. I push it in and it just pops right back out. Any and all info on this or tips in general about the device are greatly and warmly appreciated:):)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stcardinal:
You just keep pushing until it locks in unless your device is defective. I had to use my thumbnail to push it in. It's pretty standard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbulent28:
Just push it all the way in. It should click into place and should be flush with the casing

Also. Make sure the "words-letters" on the micro SD card are facing the screen. Use your nail or maybe to push it in
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
Finally got it in. never have had to push that hard with sd cards in the past. So far I really really like this device. I have tried the Xoom and the Acer Iconia and they do not compare at all to what I have experienced so far with the TRansformer. Thought about rooting it but right after turning it on I got notification of an update so I let it do its thing ad it turned out it was for 3.01 not 3.1 I guess the 3.1 update is to be pushed out tomorrow, so I believe I will wait. Any one way easier than another as far as rooting and applying cwm recovery? I notice there are a couple posted in dev section. Thanks for all of the help.:):)

Optimized SD card speed, BusyBox, CIFS, Tun (OpenVPN) preloaded and root access. You can use SetCPU to downclock when you have your screen off, saves more battery. Titanium Backup is also a good one that lets you backup just about anything and disable any preloaded software.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:
To be honest, on phones I don't mind rooting / ROM'ing (if that's a term), but with my TF I'm way too protective. I'm beginning to realize that when you root / tinker things can definitely start to go wrong and often times bugs are introduced / performance can actually degrade over time at least. Then again, I don't have issues with battery life/speed at all or need any of the extra features provided by new kernels / ROMs. The only thing I do really miss is removing the bloat, but personally I'd rather know that the OS is coming directly from ASUS/Google and hasn't been toyed with at all

I know most people, especially on these forums will disagree though
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twisted politiks:
Hello all. I have been running into a problem with my incredible since I've installed the first CM7. My problem is the keyboard on the default text app dissapears randomly. There has been no rhyme or reason that I've noticed. It doesn't happen at the same time, and sometimes it acts differently. Sometimes just the Smiley pop out will only show the bounding box, none of the Smiley icons, though if I scroll over them and release, they will still be input into the text. Another problem is the whole keyboard disappearing, though like my other issue, I can still press where the keys should be and they will be input into the text message. I haven't had this problem with the keyboard on any other app than the default text messenger. The only way to fix that I have found is to restart the phone. I have tried holding the back button while on the app, with the CM7 task killer turned on. Any help would be great, though it's not a huge problem, it is annoying.

Thanks, Twisted Politiks

Don't know them myself as I'm from Ireland but I know a few people in the UK who use them and they are quite happy. :D
[Off-topic] hypnoticcow:
I am with O2 and have not experienced any form of traffic shaping on one of their older packages that's only £9.50/m with completely unlimited, I tend to download 20-40GB per week and have never had any contact from them about exceeding any usage quota. The equivalent now would be the middle packages it looks like they have an unlimited download policy for £12.50/m if your with O2 for your mobile phone.

If you didn't want to go with O2 I go with Skellyyy's recommended of Be* Broadband as they actually provide O2's broadband service anyway so on this assumption I'd recommend them also but they are slightly more expensive than O2 but thats up to you really. :)
