the converter cable looks pretty thin and flimsy. the whole thing wouldn't fit under the battery cover at all without cutting through the back cover? the battery cover is quite soft and should be able to flex a little to accomodate, no?

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

in the threadstarter's defence, I think he/she recognises the ridiculousness of his solution: "(maybe a simple piece of good black tape will be more aesthetic, but thermal glue is so funny :D)" I see the humour in this :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bamboo12:
seriously.. why is there still casing on the sd card? would it not be thinner if u removed the case.. hell it might even fit under the phone case
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] watch_mania:
1) Pair it with extended battery cover (probably Mugen's in the future), the SD card should be able to be hidden inside the battery cover.

2) Format the card as ext2 (or 3,4 whatever) mount it as /sdcard (should be possible but haven't tried yet)

= 128 GB Samsung GALAXY Note :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dingolino:
From a technical point of view this is quite interesting to know that a Android device is able to handle this size of memory card (memory size not physical size...)

To make it happen it is for me a technical development - he tested it out.

Not rocket science but technical development because it is a new solution

Off course it does not look pretty but why it is on us to judge the taste of another person?

who does not like it should not do it or develop a nice and pretty looking solution as a alternative

I do not understand all this criticism.

For me this post is quite helpful to know what my device could do.

Nothing more nothing less

Best regards

dingolino

P.S. Thank you for sharing your technical development with us
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] XevoX:
Thanks kwenteen, it's good to know our Note can support such large memory capacities. I'm thinking about picking up that adapter myself but implementing a different way to mount it. 0.16" is quite thick though. Maybe remove the back cover all together and use a rubber/gel back cover, then scrap away enough material so it doesn't bulge out?

One concern I have is the time it takes to complete a media scan during power-up/reboot/USB-mount. Probably would take forever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
Nope, this is too fat, moreover, I'm not comfortable with something metallic scratching the battery, this is a no-go...

Thank you, there is at least some people that understand what I'm saying... I didn't know that my english was that bad :D

1) Yep, but no. The overall added bulge is only 3 mm, in a small area... whereas the battery cover would add thickness everywhere... but yes, it would be more aesthetic !

2) I don't think Android can handle automount with sdcard formated in ext3 or 2... But I didn't tried either, I guess that we would need a special kernel for this.

It works very well in fat32, and it's not 128 phone, it's a 134 GB phone :D

(123 accessible sdcard+ 11 GB internal memory)

Give me another way of having 128 GB of memory on my loved phone...

AND don't talk about OTG... that would be way much more ugly, less solid, not as transparent for the system, and I would not be able to charge the phone while accessing my music.

I read carefully the indications pinned on the top of the page, they do include mods in general, so I assumed it would fit here...

If any mod do not agree, I'm sure he will move it in the appropriate place !

I want something more practical than aesthetic... For now I haven't found any way to make it look better without adding some extra thickness...

Yes, But I just received the card last week, and wasn't feeling comfortable about breaking my brand new and very expensive card directly...

for testing it is better this way... with cutting and soldering directly to the ribbon cable, there is no turning back, so I wanted to be sure that everything works great before thinking of doing it...

But I think I might do that latter, so it can be better integrated !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
No, that is not so bad... Only if you consider that forever is more than 7 minutes... ;)

But during that time, It was doing a double scan, one by the system, and the other by poweramp... So I'd say that without power amp, it would take only 4 minutes !

I have to precise that it is the time required to scan the 96 GB of my music collection I put in there, one might put less music and more video on these silicon chips, the media scan would be much more faster ;)

In the pics, you can see That I already removed the back cover of the adapter, not the front one because else it would be too flimsy... The only possibility is that if you are comfortable with a soldering iron, you can cut the ribbon, and solder it directly to the sdcard, and even strip down the sdcard from it's enclosure, to gain some more space. Beware of integrating it correctly thus, because if you twist your sdcard printed board, you might say goodbye to the 200 $ it costs ! :D :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] utp:
@kwenteen My apology, I love your hack (you see the +99), I agree my "not development statement" was over, you were right on the point, this really gets into dev.

7 mins scan time.....hum..............sounds forever for me, hehe.. :p

great hack there, but hum.......maybe I will go for a GoogleMusic/DLNA/real time stream solutions..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] blobotorian:
I think it's great. For a ''prototype'' anyway.

With a little more time spent on the aesthetics this could be the best 5 min mod ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
Are you kidding ? It took me like FOREVER to shape the thermal glue in this smooth form (meaning approx 7 min... :D :D )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] snyggsomfan:
RESPECT!

Nice mod (but indeed ugly ;) )

How about using a heat gun to "stretch" the back cover a bit and the Mod would fit under the cover? :)

You guys who are critisising: do you want to use the computing capability of your phones or do you only use the phone while masturbating?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
Good idea, but I don't think the cover will handle it !

It's too thin to be stretched that much...

Well, at least, I won't be able to do it without tearing it...

I definitely think I will simply get rid of the adapter and casing of the card, and just solder the printed board of the card to the ribbon, and slide it under the cover !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andjohn:
AWESOME

Hey man,

I totally did this back in the day with my Nexus one and a 32GB Class 10 when 32GB uSD weren't out yet. A decent idea was, I got an extended battery and moulded the case a bit. It fit with the battery as well! Awesome idea man. I still have my adapter, might have to give it a go again...also, someone (Cyanogen) should code in Ext2-4 for SD card use...and then we just use 'dual mount' in the market...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] oka1:
Kwenteen, Your Mod is original...... but TBH... it looks like a Rube Goldberg school of engineering methodology, great imagination though !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
Sorry,

non native english speaker here, I don't get the joke ! :D

what is Rube Goldberg school of engineering methodology ? :confused:

:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] oka1:
A Rube Goldberg machine is a contraption, device, or apparatus is a deliberately over-engineered or overdone machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex way. Ruben Goldberg was a Engineer Born in San Francisco in the late 1800's and went on to make cartoons of crazy contraptions and became famous for them. He was a Graduate from U.C. Berkeley

Here is an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H08CvSNglyg&feature=related
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] droiduser:
I think someone should find a Chinese manufacturer that can make a new back cover for the note with a nicely moulded SD card slot, maybe even with a hinged rubber cover to keep the entrance clean from dust if wanted.

This could be really nice looking if it was done properly and smoothed in, even make it really good with a proper push in/pop out spring design if possible? Wouldnt even add any major difference to the look if it was flat enough.

It could look totally OEM if done right :) The ultimate photographers phone (paparazzi would love it, take a photo with high quality DSLR camera, pop the fullsize SD into the note, double check/crop the image in full AMOLED res on the note and upload the massive jpg file direct to the magazine/blog :))

Someone must do this...

Yes, but it is even bigger, less portable, consume more battery AND a lot less ugly... So what s the point ? :p

( in that case, I could just use my laptop to change data on my cellphone by plugin it in !!) :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] blobotorian:
Wait, what ?

You will probably also need a bigger battery for your note.

Like a car battery.

And i am guessing that the hot glue mod will be inadequate for a battery like that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
No no ! not at all !

If you just cut a little of the plastic shield from the car battery, you'll be able to insert the note in it, and with some thermal glue (of course... what else ??)

the note won't bulge at all from the battery, so you'll end up with the same thickness (30 cm ?) !

:D Great huh ? :D

Well I never heard of autonomous portable wi-fi hard drive, but if it exists, that's still an extra device to carry, and feed, so that is not an option for me...

Has anyone attempted to physically open a full SD card to make it thinner?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lionelia:
This thread is from 2011, actualy you can buy 128 Gb micro SD cards.

If you realy want to use normal sized SD card, you should buy a 5000 mAh battery with it's special battery cover, so you'll have some room inside to put your SD card. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
Hello, Haven't seen any of those 128 GB microsd sold anywhere yet, and the announced price are around 500 $... So I think it's still quite interesting to do this mod (I'm still using it in a sony Z ultra)

And yes, you can strip the sd completely, that's what I've done for the galaxy note II : Home-made 128 GB micro-SD

I adapted a little bit more the mod for fitting it on my sony Z ultra, basically I just stripped it completely, and then taped-it outside the back of the phone, between the phone and the protective case, it doesn't bulge at all !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Gnom2509:
Sorry guys but what about a USB connector and a normal USB card reader??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kwenteen:
Not the same use, here the mod is to replace the microSD, so to stay in place all the time, hence, to make it as thin and invisible as possible... ;)

Boujou bien,

K.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sbd3:
Still no sign of 128g Micro's, but same sort of money would buy a SSD/HDD and a "8ware Helishell" (just discovered it), usb3/wireless N 2.5" enclosure. Can't find a manufacturers link, but there plenty of stores online with info.

SSD for power economy, or HDD for 2TB android storage :cowboy:

Small alternative is PQI Airpen wifi, but specs only state 32gb like many phones maybe it can handle bigger.

For your case modding, its possible to buy coloured dyes for epoxy resin, so the case bump could be a nice glossy black. and a thin resin would flow enough to give a streamlined finish. Some are used for encasing electronics which may offer some potential worth investigating.

Hi

I am having an issue with this navigation

Whenever I pick a location to go to and start navigating the navi voice would start talking nonsense for 5 minutes and won't shutup.

This happens whenever it announces a turn ahead or any other announcements.

It just starts talking..."Slash synthesis www. blah blah blah version 1.0 speech blah blah blah..." and so on for literally 5 minutes.

Before I used navi I did change the voice feature to samsung instead of pico, because I dont like pico voice, but I changed it back after this problem yet did not fix.

Can anyone help or have this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I had this happen to me too!

I had changed the voice to the Samsung voice b/c I thought it sounded better (from the test sequences in the Settings menu)

Next time I used Navigation it did the same crazy stuff as you mentioned

Changing back to the stock Android "pico" voice fixed it.

Perhaps corruption of the Samsung software that was installed? Anyone know if there is a way to re-load the Samsung voice software? (I may reset my device anyway, so we'll see if that helps...I'll let you know!)

Re: Calkulin's E4GT v1.5a [Rev 5 l Fast l Tweaked l Battery Saver Script]

Tried to reply to the thread in Dev section but said I didn't have permission. But I wanted to get this out there:

This is the best ROM I've tried on the GSIIE4GT yet. Battery life is phenomenal.

I'm 1,200 miles from home visiting my very sick mother in the hospital. After a fresh charge, I was able to keep my family updated about her status via email and text. The battery lasted 13+ hours with a display time of over 5 hours. Call time was around 90 minutes too. Today is more of the same. Display has been on nearly 2hours straight and I have 76% battery left.

Thanks for an awesome ROM!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Correct with 2 exceptions

As far as battery life, you are 100% correct when compared to all other custom ROMS I've tried.

However, 3 things bugging me about the current Calkulin ROM:

1. Can't run Polaris Office

2. Can't install any ICS theme

3. Every time you upgrade a Calkulin ROM you lose all your installed apps and data.

I tried only wiping cache, davlik before a Calkulin update and phone wouldn't even boot

which forced me to do an ODIN reinstall before I could even regain CWM 5

which allowed me to do a complete restore from backup.

For anyone who wants a very good custom ROM without those 3 exceptions,

I suggest Phantomhacker's Starburst 1.9.8r

Glenn :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zflow:
1. True

2. Actually there is a great ICS theme made by Overstew (search for it at theme section) and its pretty cool.

3. It is possible to upgrade Calk's ROMS just wiping cache and dalvik, but changing from another ROM you have to format all. (At least I havent encountered a problem doing it this way, been using it from version 1, would recommend not restoring anything from titanium the first time you change to Calk's Rom).

Calk's ROM is very fast and stable, Starburst its also very fast and stable... We are lucky to have great devs working on our phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supdawg:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
True. Calk is working on it though. In the meantime, Documents to Go (a $15 app) is free on the Amazon App store today.

Not true. Both Overstew's and now AvatarofFrost's ICS themes work just fine on this ROM.

Sometimes true. It's different for everyone. Some people have to do a full wipe (like me) and others don't. TB makes re-setup rather painless anyways. My phone was back to its previous state in about 15 mins after wiping and flashing 1.5 over 1.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
ICS Blue Theme for Calkulin's 1.5a

Thanks guys. Appears Overstew posted an update that does work with Calkulin's 1.5a which i just installed after wiping cache & davlik 3x each. As far as what happened when I tried to upgrade from Calkulin 1.0 to 1.5 I tried to do it with the same wipes plus format SD and could not reboot past initial boot screen, which is when I had to ODIN a ROM & CWM5 to fix things.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
1. Yes, Polaris Office does work, I just installed it to check. Here is the apk if you need it -->> http://db.tt/113UwR7Z

Update: I take that back, I know what you mean. You try to open a document, and the screen just flashes black, and goes back to the file explorer.

2. As someone else mentions, the theme has been updated to work with the latest version of Calkulin's.

3. You should use titanium backup to backup all your apps + data. And use Go SMS Pro to backup all ur text messages. I been doing this since I had the OG Evo, and I have not lost my apps and/or data even once.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K0STA:
Some folks say you don't have to wipe anything to jump from 1.1 to 1.5a. Some say wipe cache. Does it just depend on the luck of the user, or was there an OP somewhere for the migration from 1.1 to 1.5a.
