Ah, OK. You need a HDMI cable and your phone charger. When you have everything, the MHL cable will plug into your phone, the phone charger will plug into the MHL cable and the HDMI cable will connect the MHL adapter to your TV.

Here is a video of a guy using it.

Hi Guys,

a complete noobie question, but i have tried looking.

How do you guys write the code for the apps you create.

I found some threads (linked) that say i need visual studio and i write them in C....

and then i need a CAB writer to get them on to my device.. Is this all ? How would you do stuff like integrate the touch screen into what you do or get info of the web etc...

Hi,

The USB socket on my phone is not working apart from charging. I can get into download mode but do not want to risk flashing a stock rom via odin as if the USB fails mid-flash I will be in a far worse situation.

I followed the old rooting guide as I wanted to remain stock.

I've got my CPW stock rom and normal "secure" kernel (flashed back after gaining root)

I am rooted and have superuser app visible in the application list.

Is it possible to permanently unroot using a terminal editor or an apk from this position?

Should I just delete the superuser app? How can I delete busybox? Would a factory reset get rid of my root?

Really desparate so I can return my phone for repair!

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facsi2:
Are you trying to use warranty? Well, at last option you could try odin and going right and going wrong you should be fine. Going right you already know then answer. Going bad, since it wont boot, the tech guy from service center cannot see anything since it wont power on. He will have to fix and cannot proove that the phone was rooted.

Fire up a terminal app, then:

su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/xbin/busybox
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk [I](this may error out with "file not found" - that it OK, only means Superuser app is installed in /data/app, perfectely fine)[/I]

Reboot to recovery and do a factory reset (wipe user data).

It's not perfect (leaves a crapload of orphaned symlinks in /system/xbin) but it's good enough IMO, I doubt they'll do a FS sweep for root remains.

What did you do to format it NTFS
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thefunkygibbon:
umm card reader...windows machine?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
Uhh. Does it work in the tablet. I formatted a 8gb microSD to ntfs and my tab couldn't read it. I must admit it has been at least a month since I tried that. Is the ntfs support something new?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
Hmm I swear I tried that when I had a windows comp and couldn't get android to recognize the card when it was formatted as NTFS. Ill have to borrow a friends computer to try again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AustinMartin:
Mine has also worked from Day 1(beginning of June) with ntfs.

I was actually worried, as windows vista(the only computer I had with a sd slot) doesn't give you the option to format as fat32 without extra work. But since the ntfs worked, I've had no problems since.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
I did it a couple weeks ago on 8GB microSD. Put in Ubuntu LINUX box and deleted partition, recreated under LINUX as NTFS. However, I did not test in my TF101, because it was for another project.

Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
So you did not test on the TF. So your post seems a bit pointless?

Also for those it works please can you state what brand/size and what sector size you used to format to NTFS etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
Again another kind of pointless post. Who cares if it works from your hard disk plugged into the dock? I don't carry my dock and hard disk everywhere. The whole point is to be able to use the MicroSD. I am not interested in how well your hard disk works with your dock. Anyone can do that. Sorry but I find these types of reply very frustrating to read.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
Yes I used a card reader and formatted it NTFS in my Win7 machine, and did this long ago so no it's not new.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
ntfs is not supported out of the box. You need a special kernel.

Most custom roms have it. Or you can format it into ext, but windows doesn't support it, so it won't be able to read it when you put it into cardreader.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
Being able to format a microsd card in ntfs is not in question here. I just spent the last hour testing formats.

I used a Sandisk 8gb microSD HC card.

Test 1. Formatted card with NTFS, verified format, copied an mp4 file to the card, stuck it into the microSD card slot on the TF. No joy.

Test 2. Formatted card with FAT32, verified format, copied same mp4 file to the card, stuck it into the microSD card slot on the TF. Well wuddaya know. Works fine.

My conclusion. A microSD card formatted in NTFS will not work in the microSD slot on the TF.

Go figure. Bet somebody will tell me it will work in the dock. Which I don't own so it doesn't apply.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
Thank you

It should. It's listed in changelog. Are you using Prime's kernel or you flashed back to stock ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I flashed Prime 1.6r2 that is all I know. If I format the MicroSD to NTFS and insert it it flashed briefly then vanishes and shows no MicroSD present. I don't know if I have to format a specific sector size for it to read.

Why are you so abrasive? What if people will no longer comment on your threads?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
The stock kernel supports NTFS just fine - try sticking a NTFS formatted SD card into the dock, or an NTFS formatted hard disk into the USB in the dock, and you will see that.

So the issue isn't the kernel - it's the way that the MicroSD is mounted, which assumes FAT32. You need to manually unmount the MicroSD, and then manually remount is using the following:

mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD && mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD

[Eee Pad Transformer General] almaalma74:
Watch shorter porn movie...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
Then why would ROM makers bother to compile ntfs.ko module? It's not compiled into the kernel as I thought it was, it's compiled to be loaded after system boots. So, technically that module should even work with stock kernel. Check your /system/lib/modules folder and tell me if you have ntfs.ko there.

The reason why ntfs is not included by default is because of the m$ and it's stupid patents. Fat32 is default filesystem on most flashcards. Google didn't have a choice but to include support for it. And now m$ is after android hardware manufacturers.

And you are right about microsd mount, it doesn't mount even when you have ntfs support.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] captmiddy:
Actually you are using the wrong method to find the kernel module. It isn't ntfs.ko it is tntfs and it is a commercial modules by tuxera. It is likely only available on the ASUS delivered packages so the the guys building their own kernels have to use ntfs.ko instead which is heavier weight most likely then the Tuxera file system module. This module supports exFAT as well as NTFS out of the box. But the mount solution for the micro-sd slot is limited to fat32 by their auto mounting script it seems.

Here is a link that may help you: http://www.tuxera.com/news/asus-selects-tuxera-file-system-software-for-eee-pad™-tablets/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
It is included by Asus though as they've licensed an implementation from Tuxera, which is why bone stock TFs can mount NTFS formatted disks when they are connected via the dock.

hi

i wasted the last hours by dealing with this problem. ntfs and ext4 works for me but mounting by hand or by init is not an option for me...

so does someone know how to tell "vold" to handle ext4 or ntfs filesystems?

i hope that vold does the whole automountig because udev is not installed...

lg matti
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hyperxi:
Hi, could you tell me how to mount by hand?

this code cannot work for me

mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD && mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
I guess it makes sense, but that means we pay to m$ through asus... bleh..

hyperxi, try to add -t ntfs or -t tntfs after mount.

something like:

mount -t tntfs /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hyperxi:
Okay I tried

mount -t tntfs /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD

and I get

mount: No such device or address

then I tried

mount -t ntfs /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD

and I get

mount: No such device (note the missing "or address" here)

Anyone knows what's wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
Sounds like it doesn't detect your flash at all. Did you try to reinsert it ?

Type cd /dev/block/vold/ and then ls see what it outputs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] matti_hautameki:
i dont know when and where the vold id is generated. so its easier to use the real blockdevice from /dev/block....

as an example for the microsd's first partition mmcblk1p1

mount -o noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1 -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY

lg matti
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hyperxi:
whether I've got the microSD card inserted or not, there's always two items in /dev/block/vold/ - 178:9 AND 179:9

HOWEVER in /dev/block/ , mmcblk1 AND mmcblk1p1 appear ONLY when I've inserted the microSD card. So the TF's definitely detected my card. Only..

I tried the above, with ext4 substituted for ntfs, but get

No such device

Has anyone got this to work? Are my problems caused by the custom kernel I'm running? I'm using Netarchy 1.5, which supposedly has NTFS support..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hyperxi:
Okay I've finally managed to mount my NTFS microsd card with

mount -t tntfs /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/Removable/MicroSD

Now I can't unmount it though :o

umount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

gives me

failed.

Anyway to force the unmount?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hyperxi:
Ah. My bad. I should be using

umount /data/Removable/MicroSD

to unmount

NTFS microsd cards finally work! (WITHOUT DOCK)

NO NEED for custom ROMS/kernels, according to what some ppl said above :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amp4ana:
Hi guys, just wondering about these technologies.

What do you get when GSM mode only? and also what do you get when WCDMA only? I was thinking about GSM mode only to save battery life but what will I lose when I deacivate the WCDMA and switch to GSM only? Because I saw my current setting which is GSM and WCDMA. But now I switched to GSM only, so I was wondering.. Hehe sorry for all the dumb questions :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Simplified, GSM covers usage of 2nd generation mobile communication (GPRS, EDGE) while W-CDMA covers up 3rd generation of UMTS, HSDPA. Its differ in terms of G. And yes, 3G uses more energy and faster than 2G.

Just google it, mate. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breakshift:
Yep, WCDMA will eat up more battery but give you much quicker data rates. On the other hand, GSM will be slower but give better battery life. It depends on how much you use your mobile data connection (i.e. surfing the web etc.).

You could try both settings for a few days each and see which you prefer :)

I don't think that sense will allow it. I tried it on my buddy's MT4G running sense 3.0. It wouldn't work no matter what the density was set at. Maybe after we get s-off and some sweet roms that don't run sense it should be possible.

Changing the density is like upping the resolution, kinda. It makes everything smaller so you can fit more on the screen. I did it on my HD2 and it was a serious transition back to normal when I got my sensation. You get used to the extra space and getting more information on the screen.

I'll start by saying I've been Snow Leopard as long as I've had the Epic.

You trying to connect through a Cinema Display? When I connect my Epic to the monitor (24 inch with 3 usb ports) it never mounts, but if I connect it straight to the MacPro it does. Never been able to figure that one out, but I've found that to be the case. Real PITA because all of the USB ports on the MacPro and both Cinema Displays are used - although one of the ports on the display is used on a handy charging cable for the phone.

That said I've never had trouble mounting on Windows, straight to my PC or through a hub.

I think it's just a problem between Macs and our phone.

Sidenote - sometimes when I connect my Epic to the Cinema Display it causes a freak out and the Mac says a device was trying to draw too much current so it disconnects the hub inside the Cinema display which disconnects all connected peripherals, the webcam, and the speakers until I disconnect the screen's USB cable from the back of the tower and reconnect. Anyone have a clue how to prevent this?
