[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hookmt:
Ran into a potential problem that has the potential to create a real problem although, if you are careful it won't. However, the risk factor made me decide to revert pending much more research.

The problem is if you pull the SD card, you also lose access to internal memory, even if you reboot. That is because it gets mounted as a subfolder of the external memory card, so essentially, it can't exist by itself. Which would apply if your memory card got fragged at some point.

What needs to happen is that both memory storages need to have their own separate mount point in the MNT folder and I don't know if this is not possible in Android or if it is just undocumented. Anyone here have clues on this?

What is really needed is an app mover that can offer all memory locations to APPS2SD and let you chose where to move things. I've asked the developer of ROM Toolbox Pro and he has said he will look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hmm, I really don't see any threat. Yes, this needs an external SD card inserted to work, but I never eject mine anyway. I have never had problems with this, but if you feel unsafe using it, that's fine! I really had no clue what I was doing when I made this, I sorta tried rearranging the text until it worked. :p

Try switching which entry has the asec = enabled/disabled. That should switch where it puts apps.

I use it no problem but in the end back to normal because internal sd is faster then external..and use app called gl to sd to play big games like max payne or fifa 12 from external sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hookmt:
The risk is small, I agree. I don't remove my SD either, and I might go back to this setup. It could be a temporary annoying inconvenience if the sd card failed while you were out and about. I just want to see if there is another solution that might eliminate even that risk. I'll let you know. I'll look at the other suggestions that have just popped up. Same as you, I'm just playing around with the file to see what I can make happen, but if I'm doing that, I want to start from the default and go from there.

It is a very small risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hookmt:
That's actually one of the things the new fstab file does. As I said, it actually works. Unless something happens to the sd card. ;-)

Again, I want to see if I can figure out a way to remove this risk, small as it is.

Please help me

I need help with this it still says usb storage and only shows 1.6 gb instead of 8 gb.

Umm, more specific? A screenshot of storage settings would be best. Also include your model, rom, and firmware version. Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BNAS:
Application not installed.

I followed you instructions and everything worked great. I moved the .android_secure folder to the "new" SD card via PC and now all my apps say not installed on phone. (GP5). Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, I am not certain what would have caused that, but have you tried rebooting a few times? You may just have to reinstall apps that were moved to usb storage. I suggest doing titanium backup before trying this mod, for future reference. Are you saying all apps are missing, or just ones that were located on usb storage?

Sent using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BNAS:
Just the apps that were installed on the USB are missing. They are not even showing up on the applications list under settings but all the icons are there but just show the little green android guy. When you tap the icons it says app not installed. I have rebooted a few times. All the apps data is still on the former internal memory because I can see them through windows explorer. Wondering if I should just highlight everything and copy it to the new internal 32GB memory? or just reinstall? It's a lot of apps. mostly games. I gave the GP5 to my son and he does not want to lose all the data that saved his places on various games but at this point I think I may just need to reinstall everything.

Thanks for your input.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
You should moved it to device before you swap external with internal..now you can try to copy data manualy.

I sugeest just copy everything from internal sd to external from pc.

OMG...I've been searching and searching on how to do this on my SMP 5.0 (YP-G70). Does this work with my device, any ideas please?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mimi1305:
Can you do it for the galaxy player 4.2 pleaseeeeee

i really need it.

thank in advance for answered :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Munemasa:
Can you tell me the cons of doing it? My G70 arrived, I'm only waiting for the SD card from eBay. I did this on a tablet I have, another manufacturer but it uses the same hardware from Samsung. I have some bizarre bugs like apps vanishing after a reboot, but they come back if I restart the launcher (ADW). And it's a little slower, got better with some SD booster and memory swap apps.

Is that better to do the SD swap or using Link2SD + Directory Bind?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I haven't experienced any apps disappearing, and nothing major in performance decrease. For me anyway, it is just a huge advantage having a 32gb sdcard as my primary memory where most everything is stored to, rather than having a limited 5gb as primary and having your 32gb only available for media. I haven't messed with link2sd or directory bind, so it is ultimately up to you to find what setup you like best.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Munemasa:
Thanks a lot!

I'm concerned because ppl say you can't eject your card without problems and I eject mine a lot, I prefer to transfer media direct to it from my computer. My tablet doesn't have that problem, if I eject the card it remounts with no problems like the stated issues. I use Link2SD and Directory bind on my phone, the only problem is that the battery time slightly decreased.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
If you frequently eject your sdcard, I would recommend staying with the stock vold.fstab. If you want to use some big games, I would recommend checking out an app called "gl to sd".

Sent from my YP-G1 running R.E.D.D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Munemasa:
I heard about it. But I really don't play games, only Parallel Kingdoms and it's a small game. I mostly use Facebook, message apps, eBay app and photo decorating apps. Is it easy to unbind with gl to sd? Directory Bind is very easy to unbind, well... after denying superuser privileges.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, I haven't messed with gl to sd that much, but I think it only temporarily binds the game folder for when you play it. I really don't know.

If you mainly just to small apps like facebook then I would definitely say stick with the stock layout, as there is really no point in swapping the memory for that sort of use.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Munemasa:
You're right. I will use it for small apps and media like pictures and music, I bought it to replace an iPod Touch I sold. iOS got me irritated.:silly:

Okay, try these;

1

2

3

4

If none of those work, I'm stumped. Please mention if one of them even only mounts one storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bishtaw:
Thanks so much for all the work you have done with this.

2 and 4 both work to the point of showing the External as the internal (which is really all i care about as 64gigs is way better then 4.4gigs)

1 and 3 both show internal slot as corrupt however formatting does nothing

Again Thanks so much as this is pretty much what i wanted even if i am sacrificing 4 gigs of memory
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bishtaw:
Well having issues again. after using the modded vold file ive been unable to install programs as process.media crashes immediately and locks up my device. I've tried to do a factory reset without deleting all of my files yet still having the same issue. Any ideas how to fix this besides removing the vold file.

Edit: Well both vold files have the same issue. unsure why it doesn't want to work but I guess it cant be done only being rooted...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Can you try this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yx9wvpnqyjss5sh/vold.fstab3.txt

Still the same issue unfortunately Android.process.media crashes and locks up the device until reboot. I can at least still see my external sd card as the internal

Well maybe it didn't work because it isn't made for the ace 2. O_o

To get to your backup, put your sdcard in a pc to get to it, then push it with adb (if you put it on internal storage it's your own fault since I clearly stated to put it on the external sd card).

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
So the past few days i have been dealing with an issue where my signal bars go grey/green constantly and its depleting my battery like crazy. When on wifi it seems fine but on data it is very irregular.

I just did a restore to an earlier bakcup i had and it still seems to do it. It did end up downloading all the updates since then, which could have screwed it up but i cant be sure.

Anyone else having this issue. I was going to restore but cant find a 2.3.6 rom.

any help is appreciated. Im wondering if the internal data modem is screwed up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
most likely its your providers fault. sounds like you are getting a pretty unreliable data connection. which, will deplete your battery quickly. check with your provider to see if they are having issues in your area.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
i would think tho if it was my provider there would be SOMEONE else here with the problem. im in new haven CT. Ive tried restoring to 2 differant backups now, one waaaaaaaaaaaay back and it does it.

i will call to find out

thanks

quick question if they say to swap the phone then do i have to restore to stock unrooted? i dont feel like dealing with their BS right before ICS....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Restoring to stock on the nexus s is one of the easiest process of ANY phone. Install the stock zip and fast boot OEM lock. How is that BS or hard?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
i didnt mean restoring was BS i just meant dealing with ATT in general and questioning whether im rooted.

they would question a JB iphone everytime.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeydubbs:
The bars go green when there is background data. Turn off background data as well as 3G or wifi
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
dont you need yoru background data on to get your emails and such?

Anyway tho I oddly fixed it or ATT repaired something at EXACTLY the same time.

I decided to go into my google market account to see if it saw my phone.

It did but had it as un named device, which it always has. I named the phone and then BAM havent had an issue since. This was the other day now.

Maybe google implemented something where you should name your device, i dunno maybe im special. This seems to have taken care of the issue. I checked background data before this tho and it all looked good.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
When you go into battery info there is info about your signal strength. What do the different colours mean? I presume green is the best and good, what do all the other colours mean? My battery is best when green. when in low 2g signal area, dark yellow(?) It seems to use more battery as its struggling to hold onto signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Green basically means you have a good signal. There are some shades of green, shades of yellow, and then gray, then red. Red means your not connected to your carrier, and you probably are limited to emergency calls (911).

The better your reception, the less power your phone uses. If it can't get a good signal, it increases power and searches for better connections.

Recovery Interface Api for Apps and Scripts​

Both: free and paid 4EXT apps now provide a very easy to use interface you can use to access 4EXT Recovery from within your shell scripts or apps.

Features:

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

wipe data / factory reset

install multiple zips at once

backup

If you are interested, please download this zip file with examples​

How to make use of 4EXT Recovery Touch from within updater-scripts:​

Since Beta 1.0.0.3 Beta 4 you can do the following:

identify whether the user is running 4EXT Recovery Touch or not (to use or not to use the following commands)

make use of the native yes/no dialogue (confirm / cancel buttons)

prevent recovery from redrawing the screen ( in case you need to use your own 3rd party interactive binary )

​

To identify 4EXT Recovery Touch:

if getprop("ext.edition") == "ng" then

<your code>

endif;

To use the native confirm dialogues:

ui_print("4ext: show_yesno"); # <-- recovery will pause your script and display "yes / no" buttons.
run_program("/sbin/sleep", "2"); # <-- for safety since the above is executed asynchronous

#check the return value by calling:

if getprop("ext.confirm") == "yes" then

<yourcode>

endif;

To prevent recovery from redrawing the screen ( if you want to use an external binary that needs to occupy the screen and get the focus )

ui_print("4ext: disable_scrn_update");

# don't forget to enable it again after your yesno binary or graphical installer is finished, by calling:

ui_print("4ext: enable_scrn_update"); #otherwise the recovery will appear to be frozen as it won't update the screen anymore.

I'd call it for "annoying", but people do like different things ;)

But it's still better than trying to navigate through all the folders and **** with vol up/down or home/menu!

[HTC Incredible S] tangcla:
I haven't tried, but can you navigate with volume control as well? It'd be nice, for legacy reasons :)
