[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
I have had a mod to vold.fstab under previous Android versions so the OS looked at the physical MicroSD as the external card, not the internal 8 gigs in the Adam. Handy because some programs always wants to look for files on the external card. It was quite easy to do the same thing to Honeycomb, and in case anybody else needs it, here's the full code for the file (which is under \ETC, you need Root Explorer or simalar to edit/replace it):

Code:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Vold 2.0 NVIDIA Harmony fstab

####################### ## Regular device mount ## ## Format: dev_mount ## label - Label for the volume ## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted ## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable par tition. ## - List of sysfs paths to source devices ######################

dev_mount microsd /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_ host/mmc1 # todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly dev_mount sdreader /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci. 3/mmc_host/mmc2 dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usb_storage auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the actual changes are in the fourth and third lines from the bottom, changing around a few numbers. You'll see the difference if you open the original. I have saved a copy of it on the SD card, so if (or rather when) the next update comes I can simply copy it to the \ETC directory with Root Explorer and do a reboot, and it's back where I want it.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Thanks for sharing, gonna try it out tomorrow. One question though, which one would be the fastest? An external SD or the built in one? (as a lot of games put their files on that internal SD ..)
[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
What I'm thinking is cook up an app that uses this to switch between the 2 for what ever you want. I'm sure this would be simple for someone who knows how.

I've never had problems with speed running apps from SD before I don't think there would be a difference now.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Well i've tried it and it is not working. Perhaps it is because i'm on stock kernel?

The only thing I get is that the external sd gets totally inaccessable by messing with the fstab file.
[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
Uea I'm using stock I'm really sorry I didn't think about that. Also would be best to keep a backupmcopy of the old file.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Don't be sorry, it's not that i cant repair it or so, its only for some reason when i edit the file, nomather what name i change (even without adding the extra line for swapping) it always shows the default names, and thats strange.

do you have a list of the device names for the a500 like /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_ host/mmc1 and at what physical device they are pointing?

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

maybe you could attach your fstab to this thread? so i can see what i am doing wrong? I mean the one that works.

Thank you !
[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
What I'm doing is I'm just renaming the internal memory to "external_sd" and the microSD to "sdcard". That way apps that default their storage to "sdcard" (like browser downloads, etc.) will be saved to the microSD instead of the internal memory. Then your internal memory is reserved for whatever you manually move to it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
@ adambomb_13, Could you Upload your mod'd "voold.fstab" file and post a link for us!

From Post 1...

"dev_mount microsd /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_ host/mmc1 # todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly dev_mount sdreader /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci. 3/mmc_host/mmc2 dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usb_storage auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

"

*** Looks like there are 2 {SPACE's} above that SHOULDN'T be there^^^

#1 -line 1 "...sdhci.2/mmc_ host/mmc1..."

#2 -end of line 2 -> "...sdhci. 3/mmc_host..."

so I feel (this is correct) below:

dev_mount microsd /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

dev_mount sdreader /mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2

dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usb_storage auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

-This DIDN'T work for me. It Removed my REAL SDCard (Tested on HC v3.2.1 + ICS 4.0.3 Test v77)

-I've tried different ways getting to those 3 lines, earlier I had lines 2+3 merged (before i saw pattern)

-while testing, It said my Real USB Drive was External_SD

*** To others testing, Best method (+pointers)

Important : With Root: change Read only attributes (R/O , R/W)

Important : Roboot Tablet every time you change script to TAKE EFFECT "voold.fstab"

Rename "voold.fstab" to "voold.fstab.origbak"

if it don't work, rename "voold.fstab" to "voold.fstab.MOD"

Thanks SO much for this FIND, It's awsome, can't wait to get it working!

I see the potential it has (from messing arround with it.)
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
so are those coed changing working for u guys, i tried the edit one from the op, and only thing i can tell is external sdcard is no seen by android.

if it is working ill try i different rom, im on a asus one atm
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
This is not working for us. Like you say, editing that file only results in not seeing the external sd... but if anyone would have a working version I would be most gratefull.
[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
I guess this isn't solved it appears that even though it worked in my other tablets this Acer a500 build didn't add the SD to the vold.fstab just the external and USB so they got smart and used and .Init file for the sdcard. We can't give up though I'm sure we can still hack it or create a work around. These stupid tablet companies make you pay more for higher gb's so you can't just buy the 8gb version and turn it into a 64gb if you want. GREED!

No worries we'll get it going

Great find I might try it out. But first I'm waiting for thenics update that's suppose to come out this month hopefully to arrow to see if you can nativly move apps with that. If not I'll test it out.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
yeah wonder how that will implmented, since both ics phone right now dont have any micro sd slots a la nexus phones. I have the option on my nexus s which they call my fake sd card usb storage on the ics update

[Acer Iconia A500] benand:
The folowing commands allow to have the external card to be mounted on /sdcard a

# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/extern

# busybox mount --bind /mnt/external_sd /mnt/sdcard/extern
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
what happens to the internal 16, is it still accessible through a file manager?
[Acer Iconia A500] benand:
Yes you in /sdcard you see the internal content and when you browse in /sdcard/extern you see the external sdcard content
[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
Do you use a terminal app for this and if so I'm née to terminal can you explain the steps please?

Also does this combine the cards into and ext?
[Acer Iconia A500] benand:
You first need a rooted device and busybox installed.

You also need a terminal application or you can use adb from your computer (search for android toolkit) and type the commands in adb shell.

You need to execute the commands after each reboot.

You can certainly put the commands in a boot shell but i don t know how.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daymo:
I think you are getting confused with the crash bandicoot version you need and not the actual xplay firmware, you need the US version of crash on your phone to be able to convert Roms in psxperia, I am using the darkforest Rom in the UK and have a couple of psxperia converted games, you would best best to read through all the posts in the psxperia thread there is plenty of info concerning what APk you need ..
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
The link to the recovery file you mentioned in this post points to http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/charge/1209_charge_recovery.tar.md5.

Please update your link.

I no longer have permission to distribute the CWM file that imnuts made. The file has also been removed from the file system path that the web server has access to, meaning that it's outside of the public_html folder.

I do realize that some people still want the older 4.0.1.4 version of CWM but you will have to ask Imnuts for that file. Like I said, I do not have permission to distribute that file anymore.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
Sure thing just updated post thank you for making me aware:)

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
A one-step ODIN using dwitherell's deodexed odin rooted stock file as described here is so much simpler, IMO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KapTmaH:
how to get the Root? There is a method in one click.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
Thanks I have the OP fixed now
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Didnt think there was a one click for our device? Didnt see it listed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
No, there isn't a "one-click-root" for the Droid Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
I'm pretty sure there is no one click root for our DC. Im not a fan of one click root learning how to root manually will get you comfortable with flashing with Odin and CWM which you will need to flash roms, kernels, etc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] heathro1281:
Will this root method wipe all my data? I dont want to lose my data...
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
no this method will not wipe any data
[Verizon Droid Charge] pakosqrls:
Props to you ztkryan!!

Spent hours trying to find something simple to explain this process. There are tons of people trying to explain this but nobody can seem to do it in a step by step list.

Simple, clear and concise ;D
[Verizon Droid Charge] slapshot591:
I did all the following steps as stated, and when I run Root Checker, it states "Sorry, you do not have proper root access."

Am I the only one receiving this error? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong perhaps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
I had that problem one time to fix it make sure you mount system before reflashing the superuser.apk in cwm
[Verizon Droid Charge] slapshot591:
Giving this a try right now, I will return with results. Thanks again.

EDIT: Mounting System fixed my issue. I really appreciate your response ztkryan.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
just an FYI if you rebooted your phone you will have to install cwm again (stock kernel overwrites recovey to stock recovery on boot)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rodhargis:
I must have missed something, I have root and that seems to be working fine but when I try to get back into CWM to do a backup by holding the up volume + power & home it appears to take me into a stock recovery. Did I do something wrong?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
You didn't do anything wrong to make cwm stick you have to flash a custom kernel the stock kernel overwrites custom recovery on boot
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rodhargis:
Re-flashing CW with odin

Thank You for the quick reply. ztkryan. Now one more stupid question, since I would like to get a clean backup before installing a kernal or ROM, can I just flash the CWM again using odin and get me backup done first. Then once that is done I will find a kernal to put on.

Thanks Again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
No problem man I would reflash cwm then make a backup then flash imnuts new kernel then reboot your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] LeeOnPages:
Just to clarify, this is for the ota update, yes? I see EP4 all over my system info, but nothing that specifically says "EP4D."

[Verizon Droid Charge] LeeOnPages:
Great, thanks. I'm on my second charge and don't think I'm going to do the full voodoo and custom rom thing since the new one updated to GB, but I definitely want to get my root access back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Last night I rooted my wife's phone using instructions I found on chargeforums.com. This is not my first time rooting a phone and all went well till today when the phone started freezing up on her and only a battery pull fixed it. One time it happened when she checked her email then the next time it happened she was checking a text message. The phone is definitely rooted as I used root checker to make sure. The only changes I made to the phone was installing Imoseyon's kernel to get the voodoo lagfix and disabling the lock screen. I have not over/underclocked. After installing the kernel and rebooting the voice said something about partition failed but on voodoo control it shows ext 4 enabled. So I need some suggestions on what to try to stop the freezing. My first idea was a different kernel but not sure which one to use. Any help is greatly appriciated.

HTC Rezound

CleanRom 1.6.5

IncrediKernel beta4
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
I had the same issue with you. First use Voodoo app control to roll back to RFS partition. Then follow the steps below:

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF ALL YOUR APPS AND DATA.

This is what you should do. Go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406951

download this: (do not download the latest version.Make sure you download the Odin version)

TweakStock v1.1 + experimental repacked EP4D kernel

Use Odin to flash to Tweakstock v1.1 (This included the latest tweak stock kernel).

Once done report back to see is your done doing then I will show you the next step.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mattwd0526:
If you're looking for a different kernel, imnuts' PBJ kernel works great. I'm not sure that just switching will be enough to fix your problems, though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
it should have passed the conversion so I am guessing it was a bad flash. Reflash the kernel and let it try the conversion again
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Thanks for the quick replies.

So I assume this will wipe the phone. The reason I used the root instructions I did was because it preserved data. I will attempt to flash again just in case it didn't take but will use your suggestion if that does not work. How do I know if the partition was created?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Check with Voodoo control app, it's very accurate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
So not sure how much I screwed up here but I had my wife go into voodoo control and uncheck the ext 4 lagfix and reboot. Once rebooted she seems to have lost everything on her phone. She still has texts but no numbers. Almost all apps are gone with old links to them that no longer work. Did this wipe the sd card? Will I be able to recover the backup I made yesterday? I won't even be home till Wednesday because I'm on duty for the coast guard and she is not interested in following directions. Errrr. Thanks again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Ask her to re enable ext4 and reboot. Your stuff still there but not in the correct format for the O/S to see them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
She is unable to open the app. It's as if none of the apps are there. Market doesn't work either
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
I think the first conversion to ext4 already corrupted the apps, so when you tried to convert it back to rfs, it just F** up things. Since you are the technical person, I would hold back until you get back. If market is not working (I believe all your apps are corrupted at this point), we will reinstall voodoo control app fresh from SD card and we will do the conversion again. I'm real sorry for this, but either way you have to fix it anyway. Is the phone working right now like making calls and 4g? At least if they still working, she won't be that pissooff.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
When I get home on Wednesday I will sideload the voodoo control apk and try to enable the lagfix again. Not much more I can do till then. I guess that's what I get for being impulsive. Not the first time and I'm sure it's not the last. Thanks again buhohitr. You mind if I PM you if I run into more issues with this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
My pleasure, your phone should be fine once we straight it out. The only issue here is try not to lose your data. I have a question, I was asking you to Odin Tweakstock back to your phone, are you expecting your wife going to do this while you're not home?
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
She can make calls and has 4g but that's about it. If I have start fresh it is what it is and I'll just start over. Just sucks not being there. I'm sure I could fix it if I was home. This is my third Samsung I've rooted and only ran into problems with one of them and it was easy enough to get back to factory with the help of xda. Did this corrupt the sd card? Will my backup I made in clockworkmod be recoverable? Anyway I'll let you know on Wednesday how it goes. Again many thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
He'll no! She can't follow directions. Haha.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Why the 1.1? I will need to wipe data and cache with this? Could I just use the kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
I have tried with just the kernel but didn't work for me. After reflash the kernel and reboot the phone, It came backup but everything is extremely slow, like 30 sec delay between apps or changing screen. You can try reflash just the kernel first, maybe you're more lucky than I do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Im at a loss. I tried to convert back to the voodoo lagfix and received an error. Then I tried to go back to stock with directions I found in the development section. And now im trying to flash the tweakstock v1.1. I cant seem to get past the samsung screen. Not sure where im going wrong?:confused: could use any help I can get. The wife is awfully pissed off right now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Did you try to use Odin to flash Tweakstock? don't use CWM. PM me.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karl231:
I have purchased a cheap Nexus S dock from ebay and I am pretty happy with it, I remember reading a year or 2 ago of an app that could run any app when anything is plugged in, for example start music player when headphones are plugged in, or start a clock when the battery is plugged in.

Ideally I would like the default ICS clock app to start when i dock my device.

Thanks.
[Blade General] korolirio:
Hello.

I have tested different roms, different Gen 2 versions (also gen1 and gen3 firmwares) and always I have the same problem: In the place where I live (Traslasierra, Córdoba, Argentina) I cannot connect to any mobile network operator except one: Movistar.

When I go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Search Networks, only detects one of the 3 available in this area (Movistar, Claro and Personal). And precisely the one with the weakest signal. I have tested 3 different cels to detect networks and all of them show me the 3 avaliable operators, but I cannot get the same result with this ZTE Blade.

When I travel to the closer city, it detects all the operators without a problem with a very high radio signal and all of them work flawlessly in 2G/3G and also access data over mobile network. But when I return home, 15 km away from the city, I have strong signal of all the operators with other cells but the Blade only detects the weakest operator.

I think is not a problem with the reception of the signal because when I am in the city all it works perfect. Maybe is a problem of the Operator's antennas, that they don't transmit any header or data and then the Blade doesn't recognize them.

Of course, the mobile is unlocked (free) and I have tested CM 7 (different builds), Elite roms and ZTE 2.3.5 Stock without success: always the same behavior.

I wonder if could be an issue with the radio, but this is updated in the last firmware, doesn't it? Now I am using gen2 v10 custom. Should I try another version? And what about the Baseband? Is the baseband the identifier of the radio version actually using? In About phone says it is P729BB01 with the CM 7 11152011 NIGHTLY Blade, Build GWK74 and Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf+.

Anybody can help me or give me any idea?

Thank you very much :-)

Anybody knows if the radio version changes with every firmware version and if the bugfixes are listed in any place?

i flashed a new rom and everything else is working fine.. i synced my google contacts with my facebook contacts and they all have a nice picture in the contacts categorie as it should be.. also if i receive a sms or somebody calls me it shows the picture

but when i go into wahtsapp it shows only the green android symbol..

a few wich have a picture directly in my google account are shown, but not the majortiy with the fb pics

anybody an idea how i could manage for it to show the fb pics also

waht i find funny is, that a before i flashed to sense 3.5 it all worked like it is supossed to

Hey, it may be so that with flashing the new rom your facebook contacts(and their respective pictures) are suddenly not accessible by third party apps. You can try the Photo Unlocker app made by ChainsDD. The app is legit and just requires a rooted phone.
