That's why I was wondering about ext3 support. I have a 8GB ext3 partition on my sdcard.

The phones internal "sdcard" storage is labeled usb storage.
[General Questions and Answers] Jaymer81:
swapping USB storage with external SD

DISCLAIMER: I have not tried this, and the OP warns that you use this at your own risk. Some people have had problems.

This isn't exactly what I was looking for, but I found this guide to swapping the phone's internal "USB storage" with your external SD card:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1088474

And this is an updated file for Gingerbread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151078

You're still left with 3 storage locations though.

Also, they say to make sure you have faster than a class 4 SD card for installing apps. Mine is class 4. Anyone have any experience with running apps from a class 4 SD card? Is it too slow?
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidSamurai:
A class 4 would be the minimum you would want to use...

Some Class 4 cards actually have speeds of a Class 6 or in between.

Here is a slice of a system dump displaying the mount points:

ANDROID_ROOT=/system

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/vendor/lib:/system/lib

PATH=/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

LOOP_MOUNTPOINT=/mnt/obb

ASEC_MOUNTPOINT=/mnt/asec

ANDROID_SOCKET_zygote=15

EXTERNAL_STORAGE2=/mnt/sdcard/external_sd

BOOTCLASSPATH=/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar

ANDROID_BOOTLOGO=1

ANDROID_ASSETS=/system/app

EXTERNAL_STORAGE=/mnt/sdcard

ANDROID_DATA=/data

USBHOST_STORAGE=/mnt/sdcard/usbStorage

Apparently our phone looks at our external as EXTERNAL_STORAGE2 and not EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

In order to change the fstab to use external_sd instead of sd(internal) we would have to edit the fstab to look like following code:

# internal sdcard

{

ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

asec = enable

mbr_policy = overwrite

}

dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0

# externel sdcard

{

ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file

asec = disable

discard = enable

mbr_policy = skip

}

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

I have no problem if Mobile ODIN Pro works on our phones, but it's not what I (personally) need/want: download mode for recovering from a bad flash, so no apps available...

Awesome. Here's where I'm at...what do you think?

work with Benjamin Dobell and get heimdall to work, samsung has changed the protocol

make a "stock firmware" image, then make sure it works

port cyanogenmod

[General Questions and Answers] AndroidSamurai:
Getting Heimdall to be compatible with our devices would be great.

As far as irc goes, it's not a bad idea. We really need our own channel though, maybe something like #exhibit2dev or something to that nature.

I work Tuesday-Saturday, 5am-2pm so my time is limited to 4pm-11pm in terms of dev time.

Give me a few and I'll try to setup the IRC to get us one step ahead.

Well I'll test sounds package when he's done, but i'm not so thrilled about CM7. I just don't think its right for me, only one way to find out.

I'm not sure what your planning, our schedules don't seem to mesh very well at the moment, so using this thread should be good.

Goals up front would be nice. If people request it I may write a script to dejunk the stock image or make an Odin package.

I only care about battery life and control for the most part i'm happy, I've yet to find a working flashlight application though.any suggestions?

[General Questions and Answers] mrdally204:
Stripped down version would be swell to start off with. I am looking forward to a complete custom rom in the long run.

I have Tiny Flashlight + LED by Nikolay Ananiev. Seems to work for me!

Good luck with the progress. Excited to see CWM on the W, maybe we can use some techniques they did to get it working for us. I'll try and visit the IRC here and there, but never coded anything for android so maybe I can get my feet wet with this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidSamurai:
A stripped down version would be good to start since most of us don't mind GB, but spliting development for our device into teams is a smarter idea.

We need a team setup to work on individual projects. One for CWM, one for a barebones rom and another for future development.

First things first though, we need more "active" members on our irc channel to discuss development. We have 5-6 ppl in the channel now and I would like to have around 20 to distribute projects.

Stay tuned for more updates and news or join us at irc.geekshed.net #exhibit2dev for developments as they happen.

I myself would rather handle the news and pr side of the development since I am limited on my free time bc of work.

Ok, I really messed up when I used the modified vold.fstab file for GB posted a few pages back in order to mount external_sd in place of sdcard.

Now my phone can see nothing put my 1GB internal storage partition.

I have the original vold.fstab backed up on my external sd, but moving it from there to /system/etc to overwrite the modified one is virtually impossible.

Any suggestions seeing that I don't have access to a computer at the moment?

*Edit*

I purchased root explorer and if someone could copy all the contents of their stock vold.fstab located in /system/etc I can probably use the txt editor to recover my phone.

Well, I've tried to compile any CM7 kernel for whatever reason and its failing, I'm just not familiar enough with our phones to do it any justice, I don't see any ports on the Samsung W which may give me a starting point.

I just quite honestly don't know enough to do this kind of thing and I fear I may run out of time before I do know.

Wrote 356 lines of python based on the usbsnoop_parse.py from one of the guys who works on wireshark.

Crunched 2.2 GB of data in 3.64 seconds.

Next: I need to do a byte-by-byte comparison to the T-Mobile image stubbakatt posted, and crack it. Then I'll know how to write a custom image.

But the heimdall guys are holding me up. Anybody know how to get in touch with Benjamin Dobell or AdamOutler?

Hint: that link is to where I already asked them. But I know they're busy with work -- they work for a company that does Android, and they're starting a new project. So maybe they don't have time for this right now.

[Atrix 4G General] bobosky520:
My question is about the possibility to mirror android interface thru HDMI or Lapdock kit instead of starting up linux.

As the stock lapdock, the linux is only for web browsing in most of time. If the android interface mirrored to large screen or lapdock kit, we could use android apps through big screen. With the lapdock, we could also use atrix as a tablet w/ BT keyboard, beside it is not a touchscreen.
[Atrix 4G General] ian426:
In light of the quasi-firesale on lapdocks from at&t, I am going to bump this thread.

I know that it is confirmed that the lapdock works as an HDMI monitor, but can anyone confirm whether or not the keyboard/mouse/usb ports work with the phone when it is not set in webtop mode?

For example, would an atrix running CM7 or another rom which lacks webtop support be able to mirror its display (yes, only in portrait mode, for now) and use the USB keyboard mouse?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] paravorheim:
The Atrix can already portrait mirror on the laptop dock, although the mouse is a but wonky.
[Atrix 4G General] ian426:
Thanks -- that answers my question.

So essentially, working landscape mirroring + linux chroot + VNC = just about the same as Webtop w/full linux.

...the deal gets more and more tempting...
[Atrix 4G General] jpinoy:
Just a heads up... if you haven't purchased it already, the price for the laptop dock is now @ $99, the $50 price is no more.. :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] ian426:
Ah, blast.... well, that might be good in the long run. Saved me $50 for what really would have just been a toy...
[Atrix 4G General] exwannabe:
I find it much more than a toy. I prefer to carry it around vs. my netbook for several reasons. Bigger battery, bigger screen , instant on for the main part. Mine is heavily hacked, so I can VPN/RDE into the office and/or do a considerable amount of work locally. It is far more than just a browser.

The "landscape mode" is a bit of a misnomer. There is a Linux application that emulates the phone and has all your 'droid applications. When not maximized, you can have it either landscape or portrait, but when maximized (such that the entire screen is droid) it has to be landscape mode else most of the screen is blank. I never use this mode anyway; I somewhat enlarge the standard phone image and that is plenty.

My only real gripes (in case Moto is listening) is that the keyboard should have an extra row (there is plenty of room) and the touchpad needs a scroll region (at least).
[Atrix 4G General] jpinoy:
Actually, my order is 'back-ordered' and rep said to a tune of 1K+ of orders are back-ordered... doh! I still think it's cheap for $99, even a refurb for $75 is good... but yeah, you can't beat $50.. :D
[Atrix 4G General] cmcnabb:
Linux is actually always running on your phone, wether you are using the lapdock or not. Android uses the Linux kernel, and the webtop environment is just some additional native linux apps that run under the same kernel that the Dalvik Virtual Machine is running under.

Hi XDA Family,

Based on Poyensa's Widgets, I've made this new CHT2.0 Photo Slider Widget (the forth one of many I hope to make) and I'd like to share it with you guys in this great family that still believing in WinMo.

The Jdpla6_PhotoSlider widget slide photos with diferent frames every minute. The widget is a Standalone widget so it should be compatible with any other CHT widget and fully CHTS integration, it is resizable, pinnable and uninstalable. The photos (60 pics) are 320x320 .png files saved in a folder (created during installation in \Storage Card\Jdpla6_PhotoSlider ) into SD card memory, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that you have at least 10mg free in SD card. You could use your own phots BUT you must to RE-SIZE them to 320x320 pixels and must be in .png format and, of course, you need to rename them. I have attached a folder with the backgroud and frames templates to make easy for you edit your own photos ;)

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ep6f1h9c22cgjug

Installation:

Make sure you have at least 10 mb free in your storage card memory.

Download and Install the CHT2.0 Jdpla6_PhotoSlider Widget .cab in DEVICE. VERY IMPORTANT: install it only in DEVICE memory.

Soft reset.

CHT Menu> edit mode> add widget > Jdpla6_Photo Slider.

Enjoy!

Uninstallation:

CHT Menu> edit mode> add widget > Jdpla_PhotoSlider Widget > Unchek (Dissable the widget) and

Go to Setting > Application > Remove programs > select Jdpl@ Jdpla6_PhotoSlider > click Remove > Soft reset device.

Disclaimer:

Manila/Sense on many (cooked and stock) ROMs with many versions is sometimes very fragile, So you install this on your own risk, bla, bla, bla ...Please, make a backup before installing!

I have tested the widget in my HTC HD2 and it works fine, I hope it works well on yours too.

Feedback is much appreciated.

Credits & thanks:

Credits must go to Poyensa for his great thread "HOW TO MAKE A CHT WIDGET" and all his help, Gracias Maestro.

Special Thanks to Co0kieMonster, MichelDiamond, the CHT2.0.Team & the Dream Team.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] el_lo:
Hi jdpl@, thanks for your answer. French name for storage card is "carte de stockage" ;)

I think the best would be to use :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
"Folder"="MULTILANG_NAME_OF_THE_STORAGE_CARD_IS_HERE"

Using this, you would make your widget compatible with every language.
