[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleatory:
I have AT&T Atrix 1.83, rooted with gingerbreak.

I have installed the debian webtop mod installed (from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093790) and apparently working nicely for most things.

I can install and use things like rdesktop, synaptic, openssh, open office just fine.

Two issue I have come across and I am not sure what I am doing wrong as plenty of other people have posted saying that it works.

xfce4 and pidgin.

Pidgin works but spams me with unable to connect to jack server (sound issues) and dbus errors.

xfce4 when running it with "xfce4-session" gives me "unable to contact settings server. Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-zHIJQtPtx1: Connection refused" then a page full of dbus error spam and another popup error at the end saying it is unable to load a failsafe session.

I have installed it with atp-get install xfce4 also tried copying the blank debian disk image back on (essentially starting from scratch) and installing with aptitude. Same issue.

I have been doing this all from the xterm window supplied via the pengiun icon as part of the mod.

I know it works, so what am I doing wrong? :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
Im updating the first post so everyone can see how to do this u can get the updated vold.fstab from chevy on pg 2.

Basically you must be rooted before doing this.

Download above file posted by chevy

Use a file explorer program like root explorer browse to your download folder or wherever you downloaded the above file. Extract it and when it says go to extracted folder say take me there.

Once there click on the vold.fstab and long press it and select copy from the menu that pops up.

Then browse to the root of your system device and select the system folder

Once there select the etc folder

Once in there at the top right of the screen if your using root explorer change the r/o to r/w and paste the file in here.

It will ask you to overnight the file. Select yes to overright

Then at the top right of your screen change the r/w to r/o

Finally reboot your phone and you should be good to go.

To verify just go to settings and select sd card and storage and you should see your external sd card showing up as the main sd card now.
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
I haven't had time to make the change myself, but it can be done if you are rooted.

I've attached the files that need to be changed as a rar file.

"init.rc" is a initialization file that will create the directories /mnt/sdcard/ & /mnt/sdcard-ext/ on the system partition. It will also create a symbolic link to those directories as /sdcard/ and /sdcard-ext/ respectively.

Then, "vold.fstab" is used to mount the internal memory to /mnt/sdcard/ & mount sdcard to /mnt/sdcard-ext/

You should back up the original files from your device, the vold.fstab I attached has been edited to switch the internal memory to /sdcard-ext/ & sdcard to /sdcard/
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
Thank you ill try this when I get off of work.
[Motorola Droid X2] Dark_Wizard:
Let us know how it goes. I'm interested in this as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
Ok well I tried this but I guess I messed up some where I ran the init.rc first. Then I backed up the vold.fstab and put it in a folder. I then put the new vold.fstab in etc/ now neither of my sd cards are being mounted. Maybe im trying something too advanced for me. But hopefully there's an easy fix. Was I supposed to push the file with adb
[Motorola Droid X2] elkay:
I wouldn't be messing with critical system files like that until an SBF is available for our phone. Just my 2c.
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
You can adb the original files you backed up onto the device and reboot and it will remount the partitions. I did the same thing when I tried and made the mistake of overwriting the backup I made when I saved the edits in RootExplorer, so I had to grab the files off my wifes phone and push them onto mine to get it back up. Other than the devices not mounting, there isn't much harm in editing these files.

Did you edit both files at the same time to match the directories and reboot? If they don't match the devices won't mount when the vold.fstab is called. The edit needs to be done at the same time. In init.rc make sure the paths for the export & mkdir are the same. I was able to get it to create the directory /mnt/sdcard/ext/ so the external sdcard would have been in a directory inside the internal sdcard, but couldn't get it to mount to that directory.

Where I got hung up was on the vold.fstab edit, the formatting kept getting messed up and the file wouldn't work.

I was able to change the symbolic links around which helps if the sdcard path is hardcoded in the app to be /sdcard/, but when getExternalStorage is called by the app to get the path it will return the mnt/sdcard/ path, so that only helped get certain apps to store their files on the real sdcard.

The link below is how this edit is done on the Galaxy S, it was successful on that device so thats how I know it can be done on ours if we figure it out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094090
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
Well I got it back to default now. Im not sure if you have taken a look at the original one posted for the i9003 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1088474. When I went to edit yours it seeemed like you had extra stuff in there. Also on the other post it diddnt say anything about the init.rc. Not saying that your wrong I just diddnt see it mentioned. But hopefully we can figure this out and get it working.
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
Yeah, the vold.fstab I attached had the formatting messed up when I saved it in notepad and after that it didn't seem to accept any changes I made. I need to replace it with a fresh original file, I attached it to reference what I was saying, but should have been more clear to start with a clean copy. Sorry about that.

If our goal is just to swap the two cards, editing the vold.fstab is all that is needed, but if we want to combine the cards we need to edit the init.rc to make the /ext/ directory inside of /sdcard/, that way the apps that are setup to only work with the 1 card will be able to use both as the internal card would be mounted inside a directory of the real SDcard. Ideally I was thinking of mounting the internal storage to the /sdcard/data/ folder so app2SD stuff would go there, but started by trying to set it as /sdcard/ext/ as that wasn't a preexisting directory on my SDcard so it wouldn't be an additional monkey fighting the mod.
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
Ok I understand now. Hopefully we could get those files coded so we can try this out. This would be a great addition.
[Motorola Droid X2] aDigitalPhantom:
you needed a better text editor. i did the exact same thing to vold.fstab and it works.

use the attached file.
[Motorola Droid X2] coreywilner:
I got it working as well (just swapping partitions). These were my steps:

1. attached the phone to my PC and made sure both the internal and external storage locations that mounted on my PC contained the same information. Just copied files back and forth until they were equal

2. disconnected the phone from the PC.

3. Used Root Explorer (RE) to copy vold.fstab to a few different places on both internal and external storage (just in case)

4. Mounted the /etc folder R/W in RE and did my edits on vold.fstab via the text editor in RE. Stored my changes and this automatically created a .bak file.

5. Mounted /etc RO and rebooted.

6. Both storage areas got prepared and mounted after reboot and were swapped as expected. Now I just need to copy the 8G SD contents to my 32G and I'll be back to where I was with the OG Droid!

[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
Well thank you that definitely worked, thats so awesom.
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
Is it XMas morning, feels like Santa just visited! Now I have to order up that 32g card I've been drooling over, thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
Can someone post these instructions step by step in simple-man terms? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:

[Motorola Droid X2] Terri M:
Explain, please? How do you get both the internal and external storage locations to show up on the computer?
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
usb mode will show both sd cards in your computer screen.
[Motorola Droid X2] Terri M:
Was able to figure it out, sleep is a wonderful thing when it comes down to thinking clearly! LOL

Thanks cvmaas and Bigdragon, it's great being able to fully use my SD card again!
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Not trying to hijack, but have any of you done this and purchased a 32gb card? Maybe a class 10 card? If so which one and how is it working?
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I'm confused. Why couldn't you fully use your sd card before?

I have been operating under the following assumptions.....

1. What the Droid X2 refers to as "sdcard" in the file structure is really a ram partition mounted as a logical SD card.

2. What the Droid X2 refers to as "sdcard-ext" is really the physical SD card (with no partitions).

3. The reason they refer to the internal ram storage partition as "sdcard" (even though it's not), is because applications are used to looking for the "mnt/sdcard" path.

Where am I wrong here?

[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
I picked up the Lexar 32gb Class 10 just after we got this mod working and gotta say I love this card. In one word its FAST. In the card reader attached to the pc I was writing continuously at over 11MB/s, reads seem faster yet. My old card, the one that came with the first DX would top out at about 3.4MB/s. Loading the gallery is noticeably faster.
[Motorola Droid X2] Terri M:
Missing vold.fstab

How can I put this file back onto my phone? The SD card isn't being recognized by the phone, and a factory reset doesn't do anything.

What would the adb commands be for me to push the vold.fstab to the ect folder on my phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
You can use push to push the file or you could use an ssh program and ssh in and add the file to a r/w folder like the don't panic folder.
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
The original partition noted as sdcard was internal storage. Alot of programs can't be told to find your sdcard-ext. So 4 gigs wouldn't be enough space. That is why you would want to do the swap. So you can actually use whatever memory card you have put in your x2.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
That makes sense. Thanks for the response.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I followed the steps and switched everything over. However, I notice upon rebooting my phone, certain apps are no longer installed. I'm assuming these are apps I have moved to my SD card - English for Smart Pro Keyboard being a prime example.

Based on this, I'm thinking of switching it back to default. Not sure if we need an SBF for this, but is there a script to switch it back?

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
You can push your original vold.fstab back, or rename the .bak file you should have made to switch back, but it isn't necessary. Copy the "data" and "android" folders from the sdcard-ext (the internal memory where your apps were) to your sdcard and reboot, the apps should be back. Some apps default to installing themselves on the sdcard (Battleheart comes to mind, I push it back EVERY update lol) so even if your didn't move them yourself, this is most likely what happened to your apps.
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
I derped it and the SD card doesn't show up. Could someone post the command for me to push vold.fstab back via adb please? Thank you.
[Motorola Droid X2] Igtenio:
It's odd, I was working on this exact same thing and couldn't get it going. Seemed like when I swapped the names, neither would mount.

Eyeballing the provided file, it looks like the only difference between my edits and the provided vold.fstab is that the labels remain unchanged, while the mount points are changed, whereas I changed labels and mount points. I've been trying to find information on vold, but it seems sparse for the Android implementation. Do the specific labels really make so much of a difference that they can break the ability of the phone to mount the partitions?

Edit: After doing this, it just doesn't seem like a good idea, and not in the "until we get an SBF" sorta way.

It looks like the system actually thinks the SDCard is the internal memory, soldered in and all, with the reverse true for the internal memory. Makes me wonder what happens if there's some sort of screw up and the SD Card is disconnected, or it tries ejecting the internal memory, or just...well...anything.

There has to be a way to correctly mount the SD Card as an SD Card, and still be on /mnt/sdcard.
[Motorola Droid X2] quickkill2021:
can someone post the original file, so that i could reverse the changes if i want too?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I tried this, no dice. I would really love to switch this back. It messes up USB Mass Storage when connecting to my computer.
[Motorola Droid X2] SoCoolAZ:
Right in front of my face...

Glad I found this thread. Boy-oh-boy, I have been struggling with this phone! I guess I'm trying to put it through the motions but it is acting more like a 286 hotbox from the 90's.

Okay, I'm rooted with gingerbreak, utilizing root explorer. I have been trying to dump mp3 files onto the sdcard-ext card with the card tethered to my laptop. The folder location is sdcard-ext/Music/xxx/xxx.mp3 . For whatever reason, when I copy from laptop to this directory I can see the files in Windows explorer on my laptop. As soon as I unmount the phone from laptop, I see the folders in the directory but no mp3 files. Frustrating as sh*t. I'm hoping this is a partition issue. After reading this thread I am hoping that I will be allowed to access sub-folders on the sdcard-ext directly from my root explorer and media player?

Also, can someone tell me where the Gallery folder is on this phone? And am I stuck with the gallery showing all social media pics before I click to My Library? A straight link to My Library would be convenient.

I hope I am on topic here....I believe all of my questions are storage related? If not I apologize.
[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
The vold posted by chevy works just fine for me I can use it to access my files with USB mass storage mode and everything else. haven't ran into any problems yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
So, what's the verdict? Is this something that is safe to do or not?
[Motorola Droid X2] Igtenio:
Personally, I'd say no. The reason is simple; by using Chevy's fstab file, all you're doing is making the phone think the sdcard is internal storage, and vice-versa.

The thing is, it's not internal storage. Need to unmount it? Tough. There're certain scripts in /system which only run on /mnt/sdcard, which the system expects to be internal storage.

It's just too...dirty for me. There must be a cleaner method to mount both.
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
You will have to edit the INIT.RC file to make the swap the way you want it to work. The lines:

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard

export EXTERNAL_ALT_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard-ext

need to be swapped along with the vold.fstab edit you originally made (That wouldn't mount either card) When an App or script looks for the external storage location, this is where the Android system gets that information to return.
[Motorola Droid X2] Igtenio:
I know. The issue is that init.rc is rewritten each time the Droid X2 restarts.

It's not that I don't know what to edit; it's that what needs to be edited won't stick.

Unless there's a special trick to editting init.rc that I've missed? The one that's supposed to be edited is located at root, correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
Followed the instructions and ran the script change and it worked on my DX2. Unbelievable that Moto would screw something like this up though. How they mapped the DX1 was just fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
zombie bump.

did anyone find a way to permanently fix the init.rc issue. i agree w/ igtenio. the solution today works until your sd card corrupts. then you are in a world of hurt.
[Motorola Droid X2] xmguy:
This may just be too simple to be possible. But can you just change the folder name from SDcard to SDcard-ext and SDCard-ext to SDCard. Then it will read from the correct folder? Will this work?? I too want to get ALL apps and everything to see the REAL SD Card. I don't care if the Internal memory is ignored, bypassed or not even accessible.
[Motorola Droid X2] viruletdew:
Made a terrible mistake. Please help!

Hi,

Today I rooted my X2, with the P3Droid Pre-rooted Gingerbread. It worked really well. Unfortunately as I was becoming more intimately acquainted with my phone, I found this fun partition issue. Many click-throughs led me to this forum thread. Like an idiot, I applied the script from Chevy on page 2, and for the first time today, didn't have a backup. God. When I tried to overwrite the new script, with a supplied original script from later in the thread, something went terribly wrong.

When I go to Storage Settings, it says:

SD Card: Total Space Unavailable, Available Space Unavailable, Mount SD Card and Format SD Card are disabled.

Internal Storage is not listed at all.

Application Storage is still listed.

I must have somehow Unmounted the internal phone storage while it was labeled SDCard-ext.

When I go to Root Explorer and try to click on SD Card, it says I have to mount it (I can't). And SD Card ext is empty.

In Titanium Backup, External Storage is listed as not mounted.

On top of this, when I tried to overwrite the vold script with the original, it must have simply deleted the vold file. I can't download a new one, since it doesn't see the SD Card or Internal Storage. And since neither are mounted, USB Mode on the computer doesn't allow access to either.

I tried Recovering to the pre rooted Gingerbread. Didn't help. I just want to go back to my normal partitioning, with all of the memory available to me. I don't care if I have to go back to Froyo, unrooted. Please please help.

Thanks so much,

Jes

*******************

UPDATE: Got some sleep. SBF'd back to 2.2 (unrooted). All good. Now back to applying pre-rooted 2.3. And probably NOT messing with this partitioning issue unless I can find a 16gb or larger reliable Class 10 sd card. On the bright side, I think I can root this phone with my eyes closed now. Thank goodness for SBF.

So the new Zinio app came out, and it is offering 24 free magazines to anyone who downloads the app before June 15th. However, it is only compatible with these devices:

Android 3.0 Honeycomb Devices supported:

-Motorola Xoom, LG Optimus Pad, Acer Iconia Tab a500, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Android Preload Devices (Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.0):

-Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy S II, Dell Streak, Motorola Atrix, T-Mobile G2x, T-Mobile G-Slate

So I was wondering... how might one trick the market into believing our Incredible is one of those devices? I would really like to have the Zinio app.

So I've installed fission and a few different themes, but now i've noticed that the youtube app is back to the old verson, not the new one with the really nice UI. And that *might* just be a dealbreaker for me.

Is it fission or one of the themes?

And how do I get the new one back (if that's possible)?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] Irish Loop:
I don't see any reason you couldn't get an updated copy from the Android Market? Fission isn't tied to any particular version of any particular app, as far as I know.

I tried looking for it in the market, but it doesn't seem to exist?
