Droid X2, leaked 2.3.5 update. When I open the app drawer and press the (physical) search button, I get "The application Home (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Anyone else on the 2.3.5 OTA have this problem?
[Motorola Droid X2] dragosel80:
I have this problem after update on 2.3.6. Anyone else? Solutions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carsten4207:
I am looking for a way to listen to touch events on the touchscreen when the screen is turned off.

I've looked at the documentation and couldnt find anything. Just wonder if anyone has been able to do this with the existing API's?

Basically what I want to do is hang a tablet somewhere and activate it when someone touches the screen. Instead of having to press the power button.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil06944:
I don't think it can be done if the device is actually off. You can give the illusion of it being off by dimming the screen and holding a wake lock. Then when the user touches the screen, turn the brightness up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haraldr Blaatand:
I asked this same question before in the DInc forum. Unfortunately, the responses didn't seem to understand, imo, what I was asking. I was hoping a kernel dev would answer, because it comes down to how the hardware/kernel was designed. I tried looking at the source, but my head was spinning after a few hours.

The touchscreen is a "self contained" component that functions on its own (i.e. it does not need the "screen on" to sense touch events).

So, the question is: Can power to the touchscreen be controlled separately, or is it limited to all-on or all-off only?

If possible, I presume this will require a phone/tab specific kernel modification, and only possible on some devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carsten4207:
Yea I am thinking it would require a Kernel change as well.

I'll try over the weekend with regular SDK. Ideally I want this to work on any device without a custom kernel.

Maybe do a WakeLock and then see if its possible to turn off the screen while still capturing the touch events.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aerospyke:
Anyone know what may be up with this? When i try to send an SMS it just sits there attempting to send but ends up saying it has failed. no details on why.

Using data on 2g/3g is fine. I have wiped phone and installed new ROMs twice but the deal is the same.... I can still make/receive phone calls, can send/receive MMS, browser on wifi and 2g/3g is good, just no sms. phone status says i'm connected, phone network settings on *#*#4636#*#* says everything is fine, and I have even switched between AUS and AUS2 bands (i am in australia) but to no avail.

Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Maybe your simcard has lost the smsc number? I don't remember how to edit it on the nexus though.

When did you first encounter this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aerospyke:
I first encountered this around the same time i first flashed revolutionHD, but doubt its directly related. I'll look around for the SMSC I need. Will update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uuc328:
experienced something similar at activation. are you porting your number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aerospyke:
ok you were right, my SMSC disappeared. annoyingly i couldn't put it directly into the phone, as it is complaining that there is an update error, but thankfully i use GoSMS and can tell it to use a custom SMSC and so that works.

As for activation, n i wasn't porting my number, this isn't even a new contract, my boss from my old job bought the phone for me outright as a christmas pressie so it is a direct swap.

[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
I have noticed that people are asking for more than the default 2 touchpoints in cm7dx2. So, I modified my multitouch zip that I personally used on other ROMS. I need 3 touch points for Droid 48, my HP48 calculator emulator. In any event, I thought I would release it here.

As with ALL of my mods and tutorials, this is the standard disclaimer: What you choose to do to your phone is up to you and you take responsibility for what you do. If you brick your phone, I am not liable... This modification is provided as-is where-is, with no warranties or guarantees, written nor implied.

With that outta the way, here you go! I'm not doing a tutorial write up on this, however, it's VERY simple and straight forward.

First of all, you MUST be on Cyanogenmod 7 for the DX2 ONLY!!!!!!!!! Why? Because it pushes a slightly modified build.prop file! There is a setting in it that is required to increase the multitouch points. IF you have a modified build.prop, THIS WILL REPLACE IT! If you have the know how, extract the files and push them manually and modify the build.prop manually. If you don't know what I'm talking about, or you have to ask for help, DO NOT DO IT MANUALLY!

1. Put the zip on your sdcard.

2. Boot into BSR

3. Do a nandroid backup! (See my tutorial, link in my signature.)

4. Flash the zip file.

5. Reboot.

That's it.... Nothing complicated. :D VERY simple and straight forward. Enjoy!

Ciao!

[Motorola Droid X2] Romans8vs1:
What does this change? What is the benefit of having 8 touch points?
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Essentially all this does is up the touchpoints to 8. People have been asking for it, what for, I don't know. I needed it because for the Droid 48 app you need three touchpoints to reset the calculator. *shrug*

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Think game emulators and such, for some games youl want at least 4 points

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] Romans8vs1:
Okay, thank you both for your input.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
two reasons for more touch points for me is-

emulators- needs more than two to really play any game decently.

music apps- more keys can be pressed for pianos for chords, guitar apps you can hold more frets and strum
[Motorola Droid X2] ralphwiggum1:
Are there really 8 points with this? I haven't tried it but build.prop says 5 points?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
To confirm how many points the screen is actually recognizing download this

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest

and use that to test :)
[Motorola Droid X2] pacman377:
You can also go to Dev Tools in CM7 and scroll down to Pointer Location. It will show the touch points as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
It gives me 8 in Fruit Ninja THD, that's the only thing I've tested it with though.

Thanks Moon. Works flawlessly for me. This is exactly what I needed for PSX4Droid.

Do you see yourself releasing any more version with more optimizations such as balltongue's mash-up? [MOD]Droid X2 build.prop Mash-Up v5b 2.3.4 & 2.3.5

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Funny thing you should ask... :-) I spoke with BallTongue yesterday. He will be including the multitouch settings in his mashup so those of you who have flashed the multitouch point mod will not have to futz with the build.prop.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
One issue I've had is larger games that place files on the SD card would fill the internal sd card's space up fairly quickly, and they would never have an option to place these files in another location, so I edited the ect/vold.fstab to switch the mount points for sdcard and external_sd so that my larger microsd card could be my primary storage and i could use the internal for other odd things that i change less often, I've yet to run across any issues, although I haven't tried to use the built in format options since doing this. If anyone else wants to try this, here is what I changed to get this to work

via root explorer or another method, find the "vold.fstab" file under the "ect" and make a backup of it, then pick open in text editor in root explorer and change the following sections that are in bold to what i have them shown as

for GB

save and reboot

for ICS (samsung based)

I've attached to this post a copy of my vold.fstab for ICS, i've tested it and it does allow applications to be moved to sd and my 64gig card works just fine as /mnt/sdcard. Best to still backup your original file before trying it and make sure you match the permissions of the original. It did require a few changes to make it function under ICS compared to how it was done in GB. Do not use the ICS copy for GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ravindra9:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Thanks for this tip.

I've found an issues with move apps from the 2GB storage partition to SD card (now the removabe one) after doing the swap. The phone generate an error of "SD card is full".

Any idea on how to solve this problem?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
edited first post, the asec disable/enable needed to be reversed, this should fix the move to sd coming back as full, just change those 2 save and reboot and that should take care of it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gnan10:
sorry for asking this in note thread....but i want it on my galaxy s2......

can i do the same for it to swapping the memory paths.....???????????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Glammyz:
thanks for sharing. so i just install apps and it will be in sd card?

the titanium move apps to sd is external or sd?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
this might work for a galaxy s2 with the same paths/partitions however as i do not have a galaxy s2 i cannot test this, at the worst you can just revert to the original file, as long as you made a backup if it doesn't work. it'd definitely be doable either way by following the same overall method of reversing the 2 mount points

as for the apps to sd thing, this doesn't enable any apps to be moved to the sd card that weren't already movable before, this simply makes it so they would go to the sd card instead of the internal 12gb partition, this is mostly useful for games that store files in a fixed path like mnt\sdcard or mnt\sdcard\android such as larger games
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] honf:
Be warned though, the internal space if probably much faster than your SD card. It certainly is in my case, and I don't see myself wearing out the chip in the next few years.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mahboob2t:
I have SG-N...

If I do this, will the device going to be faster or it's just about more storage space?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Just more storage space. The internal SD is a great design as the average read and write is about 20 ~ 30 mb/s. Run an ANTUTU test and you'll see what i mean.

If you prefer performance, this is definitely the way to go. The external SD is better suited for recording videos, storage pictures, and movies on the go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Would it be possible to update this hack for the ICS build?

I tried the same with ICS "vold.fstab" but only the external SD card will mount, not the internal SD card.

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] m2b999:
Still, doesn't work for apps storage space (The 2GB allowed for apps to be installed on device)!

If this way can be extended to cover that instead of Move2SD or Link2SD, it would be great!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
updated original post with ICS support
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macqueyl:
AT&T LTE White Samsung Galaxy Note

OK, so I followed this step by step & now my external SD is unavailable & won't mount & the internal USB storage is unavailable as well. Restarted a few times to no avail. Because the external card won't mount. I can't copy the original file back over. I typed it in, per the original file & that didn't help either, any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
if you edited it with root explorer then it should have also created a backup called vold.fstab.bak unless you edited it more than one time in which case that file would have been overwritten with your second edit, you could try going into cwm and mounting the storage via usb from in there to get to your backup on your card(this doesn't effect your sd card while not booted into android), and then put it in a dropbox account or email it to yourself, and then save that file to an accesible area of your 2gb internal storage, and then copy it from there, did you use the correct copy? ie GB ver on GB or ICS ver on ICS? they changed a few things so the 2 are not interchangeable, but as long as you have it exactly right including spaces then there shouldn't be any way this wouldn't work on any of the Samsung based roms
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macqueyl:
Yeah, I used the GB version & there are some differences in the script lines (copied below. I ended up flashing Da_G's copy of the stock AT&T Kernel, System, and Recovery to put it back. I'll wait to see if someone else is successful with the AT&T Note before trying again. I copied the internal & external segments from the file so you can see the differences. Thanks for your help!

# internal sdcard

{

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

asec = disable

discard = enable

}

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0

# external sdcard

{

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

asec = enable

}

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
ah yeah that's definitely different than the international version, it's doable, but since the hardware has a different path you can't use the same file but the method itself if adapted should have no issues with the att version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mpanwar:
Thanks, bump. This is very useful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
You could start by using the ICS-specific fstab he posted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madfatter:
Copied these lines into my volds. phone just gets stuck on boot animation. tried this on ics stunner 5.0 beta.

Edit2: Well I guess in the newest ICS Stunner this is not possible. It really kills ICS for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Hey man. Is there any way you could throw together a vold.fstab for the new LP6 GT-N7000 ICS build? I've been using this tweak on Gingerbread for weeks and love it! But I just can't seem to get the mount points swapped on any of the new ICS ROMs; Samsung or AOSP. I would love to be prepared for when the official ICS build is released. I've got my Micro-SD acting as a 64GB internal-SD. Without a modified vold.fstab for the new ICS builds, I'd be losing my 64GB internal-SD and switching back to the pathetic 10.5GB I had before. I would really appreciate any help you could offer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
If you want you can attach a copy of your vold.fstab in a post in this thread and I'll see if i can change it for you, I don't have either of those builds installed so i can't unfortunately test it out myself, but if you don't mind doing that and giving it a try I can certainly do that for ya.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Thanks man. Here's the LP6 one.

http://db.tt/dYphJzwV
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madfatter:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
attached is a copy that should work for LP6, Please test this for me.

backup your original first of course (best to place a copy of the backup in the same folder as the original as well)

and make sure your permissions match the original file
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mselwan:
Thanks for this tip
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I'm waiting on a slightly more stable build before I test this fstab. However, in the meantime, I was wondering if there's any way to swap storage on Honeycomb. I have a Tab 7.7 I'd like to do it with.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toofank:
I edited the fstab file exactly like the original post.. rebooted..and it wouldnt find my external sd card :(

Im running checkrom v5 (GB 2.3.6, kernel abyss 4.2, baseband LP6)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
try using the gb attached copy, even an extra space or a single character missing or extra will make it not see that storage, just make sure the permissions match the original file and that you have a backup of the original file kept inside of the ect folder so that you can easily restore it

also updated original post with a copy for the official ICS release
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toofank:
Still dont work. Dowloaded the GB version from ur original post. Overwrote mine under etc folder. Rebooted. Sdcard and ext sd are still the same.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Your problem is most likely AbyssNote 4.2. Switch to CF-Root, and your modified fstab will work. Had same problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Sorry for taking so long getting back to you. Yes, the modified fstab you provided for LP6 works perfectly. Furthermore, it also works on the new official LPY ICS release! So anyone interested in swapping storage on the new official ICS build, this fstab and CF-Root 5.3 will definitely do the trick!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toofank:
Thanks alot!! U were right! Changed the kernel and it works like a charm now :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Piksou:
Brilliant !

Does this change with the new official ICS kernel ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
If you want to swap storage on the new LPY ICS release, make sure to use the new CF-Root 5.3 kernel, and use the fstab posted below.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
ah interesting that it was abyss doing it, I was using abyss 4.1 i think back when i first posted this for GB, must have been changed in 4.2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I thought that was odd too. I'm curious though. Do you know anything about swapping storage on Honeycomb? I've got a Tab 7.7 that's giving me fits. It's odd. It seems like every other device I get gives me trouble swapping mount points. Until I got my Note and my Tab 7.7, I never needed help with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ciphray:
I've done it with my Toshiba Thrive with honeycomb and while nearly everything worked perfect with that, i did find a few stock apps ran into problems, unfortunately it's so rare that I use it that I hadn't taken the time to try to correct it, I can tell you that swapping the mnt path's worked for honeycomb in a similar manner to GB on the note, whereas with ICS on the Note I had to keep the mnt points in the same order and swap the hardware path instead, I havn't tried the later with honeycomb yet though
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Would you mind taking a look at the 7.7 fstab?
