Could someone be so kind and anwser few questions?

- will applying this mod erase (or break in any other way) my data stored either on external nor internal card?

- could someone provide short basic instruction how to get it applied?

- are there any other matters I need to know before applying this? Something will no longer work or any other bugs?

Thanks in advance. I've gone through this topic few times but haven't found anwer.

Well, this guy knows how to make the story short ;) Thanks!

Wait, but what with apps I've already installed on internal card? Won't this change mess all of them up?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Nope. No problem for me ;)

Edit: I believe apps are stored on another storage

Help. After Swapping the sd cards. I cannot now connect my pc via usb. When i click Connect USB Storage. Only loading shows. (must be "disconnect from storage" if im not mistaken) then after removing the plug, My internal storage (now my external sd) cant be recognized and showing 0/0 bytes. Help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] geekynoob:
first of all i hope you are on gingerbread and u flased the gingerbread file..

if yes then

1-Switch off the phone..take out ur xternal mmc (now internal) format it as FAT 32 on ur pc using card reader. and put it back again..switch on..keep fingers crossed.. :P

or

2-if above doesnt work...

use adb commands if u knw... i dont.. :(

else the easiest way out is flashing again... :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
HEY DUDE THANKS. But no worries. Didn't flashed back or something. If anyone here got the same problem. Just do this.

In usb settings tick samsung kies. :D hahah! :) Then autoplay will appear for both internal and external. :) Thanks!

i am on xxph stock rom cf-rooted

replaced the vold.fstab file in the system/etc with modified file with help of root explorer i rebooted my phone and its done!!!! thanx man!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robs23:
Can someone help me? I've applied this (replaced the orginal Vold file with the one from first post) and rebooted. Now the phone doesn't seem to recognize any of sd cards (nor internal or external). When I open 'my files' or any other file browser it says 'no memory card installed'. What did I do wrong? Don't want to reflash it one more time...

Android: 2.36 XWLF2, CF-Rooted..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robs23:
I replaced modded vold.stab with the original one but after reboot I got the same 'no memory card installed' prompt. As no one respond here I decided to reflash it with 2.36 XWLF2 one more time. As I did, while rebooting, system stops at the samsung boot animation. it goes round and round in loop. What can I do now?

------- desperate
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Go to recovery using vol up+home+power button then wipe data then reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robs23:
I tried it few times already and it didn't work. Although I tried it one more time after reading Your post and this time system booted normally. But I still don't know why I lost access to both sd cards after aplying this mod... Maybe it was because I didn't format my sd card before. Will give it another try in a couple of days when I'm back from holiday. If there are any other pointers I might overlooked I'll be glad for reply.

Anyway, thanks @bscraze !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nickargas:
find the post here on the forum with the edited vold.fstab and open a cmd and write this down... it works only with gingerbread version... NOT FRYO (put the sdswap file on c so the bellow code will work)

C:\sdswap :

C:\>cd sdswap

C:\sdswap>adb shell

$ su

Su

# mount -o remount rw /system

mount -o remount rw /system

# exit

exit

C:\sdswap>adb push C:\sdswap\vold.fstab /system/etc

3 KB/s (921 bytes in 0.250s)

C:\sdswap>adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount ro /system

mount -o remount ro /system

# exit

exit
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
There's no need to format. This is rather confusing:confused:. Did you mount your system to rw and then replacing before rebooting? Normally access is lost because the file was deleted, not replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robs23:
Don't understand what You mean. If I got it right, You wanted me to take OTHER vold file from this topic (not the one from 1st post), edit it in notebook by pasting Your code into it and copy/replace edited file to smartphone's 'system/etc' folder. Is this right? Because You mentioned something about cmd and 'put the sdswap file on c so the bellow code will work'

which I don't understand. Please put some light on these.

How do I mount system to rw? This is what I did:

1. Downloaded vold file from the very 1st post of this thread

2. Copy/pasted it to system/etc

3. Rebooted

4. Couldn't access external nor internal card after that

I really count on Yours clues as I returned from vacation and today I'm planning to give this another shoot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Use any root explorer and they should give you that option.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robs23:
Ohh yeah, I remember now. That option was checked while pasting edited file. Otherwise changes wouldn't take a place.

In few minutes I'm trying one more time but more less I will do the same what I did before because I don't know exactly what I did wrong :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
I don't know either... I always just replace the file and reboot... Then it's done.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robs23:
Big thanks @nickargas for bring this here. I didn't get it at first, but later I seek for adb and found another thread of card swaping, the original one for i9003 froyo and there was a lot of information.

Anyway, after successful swaping the vold file, I ended up with no cards available again. It turned out the vold file taken from this thread didn't match my 2.3.6 rom. I did some changes though and it successfuly swaped my cards:) If there's a need I can provide the updated file here.

Regards,

Robert

Have you ever thought about remapping the Power Button to act as Camera Shutter. Unfortunately Samsung in our machine hadn't make any dedicated button for camera.

I hope so. I suppose it is achievable, but it requires modifying ROM or some parts of Android system files. I wish I had enough knowledge to try find out how it can be achieved.

Perhaps you should chill out. I am asking about a feature, in a calm way. It is a valid question, and one that will perhaps drive someone to solve this particular issue. If it isn't an issue for you, please kindly troll another thread.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwwel:
Alright, ignorning the 14 year old, the only way I found to use the camera is by making a gesture in Tasker, an app you can find in the market. It's pretty much an overkill for that, but it does work.

Here is the relevant page in the Tasker wiki, perhaps it will be of help someone:

I'm sure a better solution can be found, though.

[Nook Color General] davwman:
Im not new to the android world been around since g1 days. Any important info I should know about this thing? What are some of the more refined roms and kernel based on user experience?
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
No gps, buggy and messed up bluetooth, no mic, buggy/unsupported accelerometer, wifi connection issues on stock, two of biggest problems on CMG7 is sleep of death(SOD) - basically occasionally can't wake up device and need to hold power down as if doing a hard power off, and occasion random freezes, soft keys, resolution issues on stock...a good place to start would be to look at nook color workarounds sticky.

That will tell you some major issues that people are facing -> and they aren't minor. (in regards to rooted stock).

SD card specific in regards to loading off of OS, needs SANDISK branded class 2/4, no others to be safe.

Otherwise, it's a great tablet.

Don't need to worry about bricking, since it loads off SD first, a bootable SD card with clockworkmod recovery will always allow you to salvage your nook.

Dual boot is an option. If you do this, there's almost no reason to root the stock.

Oh, and I probably don't need to say the positives. If you want those, let me know!
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
OK.. wow... gotta jump on this one

No gps - How is this an issue? It is not advertised with one....

buggy and messed up bluetooth - BUggy and messed up? The ONLY issue BT has is range; it could be stronger. But buggy? Nope. It works great with bluetooth GPS devices, and BT headsets. Also keep in mind, that the BT had to be activated by our kernel masters.. it wasn't even on in stock.

no mic - again; not an issue since it is not advertised with one.

buggy/unsupported accelerometer - This is just flat out wrong. There is nothing wrong with the accelerometer; it works perfect in games and in the OS.

wifi connection issues on stock - The few wifi issues people seem to have tend to be more related to specific routers; as it is, the problems aren't that common.

two of biggest problems on CMG7 is sleep of death(SOD) - SOD is all but gone; the fix has been in CM7 for some time.

occasion random freezes, soft keys, resolution issues on stock - Huh? "Resolution issues"? What issues? For the matter, what issue with soft keys? And if you are having freezes, it means you need to back off your overclock... nothing more.
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
These are all known issues that have been reported and going on for a while.

The limitations albeit should be known, aren't always known.(i.e. no gps, mic, no camera, etc)

The accelerometer doesn't work with screebl, spirit level, and a few other programs. Perhaps not fully supported is what I should say? Obviously, this platform isn't considered standard and thusly isn't fully supported nor does it have a imei number and ultimately has a gimped marketplace.

Have you even read the nook color stock rom workaround thread?

I guess I should called it pixel density issues as opposed "resolution".

I'm addressing the nook's limitations compared to other "standard" issue tablets.

I get SOD once a day on average and a random freeze once or twice a day.

It's easy to sing the praises of the Nook Color, but again, I think it's a matter of limitations that people need to know about before diving in.

I still think it's the best 7 inch form factor tablet at this time.
[Nook Color General] davwman:
Thanks guys! keep it coming.
[Nook Color General] TheWhiteBandito:
I'm a new owner of a nook, here are my thoughts.

Just use cm7 or phiremod, rooted stock is not worth it.

I have experienced sod once so far, and that was with the latest cm7. Not a huge deal, but it's worth mentioning.

It will take a while for you to get your nook fully customized to your liking, I've had mine for 6 days and I'm just about getting there.

Install chainfire 3d, it will improve graphics in some games (notably, fruit ninja)

I have not had a problem with wifi. I have not tested Bluetooth.

Sent from my B&N Nook Color
[Nook Color General] barbo:
That first response made it sound as if the nook Color has multiple problems. I have CM7 on sdcard and it works great. I have not overclocked (haven't felt the need to). If I take out the sdcard then I have a stock rooted Nook. I am extremely happy with both. I use it as an ereader and sometimes play games. I take it on trips instead of dragging a laptop and it has worked very nicely for browsing and email. My phone can produce a wifi signal when needed. I love the 7" screen. Nook fits in my purse. I highly recommend it.
[Nook Color General] davwman:
these comments are great! I currently use chainfire on my incredible with miui and it works great along with autokiller. The thing flies, and I would be using the two on the nook as well. I know what sleep of death is, I experienced it with a kernel on my captivate when I had it. As far as quality with the hardware, how does it compare to other competitors?
[Nook Color General] TheWhiteBandito:
Aw yeah my fellow miui inc user! And I have not owned any other tablet, but for the price (I suggest getting one from ebay or craigslist), it simply can not be beat. For ~$180, the build can not be beat. It is sturdy, feels nice in your hands and the screen has a nice resolution to it. Really though, this is, hands down the best tablet for the price.

Sent from my HTC Incredible
[Nook Color General] SeaFractor:
I know that others also posted about this already, but I also feel a need to respond.

1. If you purchase a Nook Color based on the features/specs that B&N advertise, one wouldn't expect those features.

2. The ability to run another OS other than stock and have it run well for everything but the "unofficial" hardware features or lack thereof is really cool!

3. Each nightly release seems to really be working to resolve (or have resolved already) a large number of those issues.

I suspect by the time 7.1 stable is released you'll see a pretty solid setup.

As for the microSD issue. That is unfortuante, but it's not a problem of the Nook so much as it is the nature of the SD design. Faster SD cards like class 10 are really designed to peak the performance for sequential writes/reads. Cameras and other fixed function media devices benefit from loading/saving pictures or video to those SDs. For an OS like CM7, you really need decent random read/write performance, so the earlier designs seem to do this better.

I'd made the mistake of reading about this news threads and purchased an SD card without researching here first. :eek: That was my fault. After reading up and purchasing another SD from SanDisk, it's been solid.

As to the lack of GPS, it's interesting how well bluetooth GPS modules are working for many. Granted they keep them close due to the limitations, but it can be worked around. As for Skype, I'm seeing some pairing bluetooth headsets and getting voice goodness, again with a range limitation.

+1 That is a great idea. I suspect however, with the fast pace of nightlies development, that many are waiting to see if they are resolved soon. But creating a sticky and then re-editing as the status changes would be a great idea.
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
I don't see any reason to run rooted stock, but there are many workarounds for those problems.

The only issues I have with cm7 is sod and random freeze, bt does not connect to two of my plantronic headsets, the accelerometer is hit or miss, pending the app.

Its better than my droidx in.regard to speed and performance.
[Nook Color General] EtherealRemnant:
I didn't read the thread but I have these words to say: Get... the... Nook... Color!

Unless you have some reason that you need another tablet, this is the one to get if you're looking for a premium tablet for a sub-premium price.
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
It's a great device. If you can pick one up factory Refurb for 200 bucks or less - I say jump on it - and don't look back. Great screen - and nice performance for a tablet.

If you are fine spending 400 bucks - save up your pennies and buy a dual core - but I don't know if it's worth twice the price. I almost went with one of the new 10" Tegra 2 tablets - but the price of a first tablet that I didn't know if / how I'd use it kept me dragging.

I'm running CM7 - Every couple of days - I'll get a random freeze - or not waking up from sleep - but it's really no big deal. Just hold down the N and Power button - and it boots right up and works like new again. It's something I notice when it happens - but IMHO - really doesn't take anything from the device itself.

Screen is awesome. Best bang for the buck - if you don't need a camera or GPS. And it fits in my pocket when I need it to.
