No Issues here also

I recieved the tap a week ago. Now my 32GB Sandisk SD is here.

The Tap did at the first startup and using the described 12 MB Android update via internet conn.

Until now there is no issue between writing from/to SD over PC/MTP, copying between internal and external SD. Used preinstalled Filemanager and ES File Ex.

I tried it unrooted and rooted but not before the Android update.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jcm0:
Some people are reporting the above procedure is no more needed, however, with several apps (like Titanium backup, and a SAMBA explorer), writing to the sdcard (extstorage/.../sdcard) is still impossible (GT6800 updated to latest samsung firmware).

I have used this procedure and can state that Titanium backup works now with the SD card.

Thanks to many reading within the XDA forum, I have found this simpler procedure :

- download / install the "Root Browser Lite" app from the android market

- add write access to group and other to the following directory: /system, /system/etc, /system/etc/permissions (with root browser Lite, press on the directory name during 3 seconds to get a contextual menu allowing to change the permissions)

- add write access to group and other to the file platform.xml in /system/etc/permissions

- use the editor of "Root Browser Lite" to modify the file platform.xml as described above (you should have two <group gid= ...> lines within the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE xml block.)

- save the file. Verify that a .bak file has been created and that the date of platform.xml changed.

- remove the write access.

- Turn off the GTAB, then turn it ON.

NB: Titanium backup still reports a erronous free size on the SD card (401MB), but backups on the sdcard work.

can't save the xlm doc

Hi, I edit the file but when I try to save it I fail because it says original saved as .....xlm.bak, but I can't find that file and the one I find is unchanged, any ideas?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Yarda:
damm, must forget something, just followed exacty all the steps

still no writing on sd card

the automatic installer failed also
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sryland:
IS there a way to go into the (forgive the incorrect term) "registry" or similar, and have Android re-interpret/understand that instead of looking in "/sdcard"... it should instead look/point programs to "/mnt/sdcard/extstorages/sdcard"...

i heard that it might be called something like a "simlink" or "symbolic link"... maybe this could resolve the application installation issue to the sdcard as well as backups, transfers, etc... right now, not only do i run out of space too fast, can't install apps to the sd card, but as well, if i should run a hard reset... all my data erases! (yes, the internal "SD card" is erased in a hard reset)...

so, for all practical senses, when it says it will erase data, unless you KNOW you have copied ALL you user data to your "Real" SD Card, you will kill your data without even knowing it when you do a hard reset, even if you "thought" you were protected because "I saved my info to the SD card!"

(and yes, this was my experience today, so it's a fact.)

backup programs won't point to the sd card, (app manager, titanium, app list backup, etc)...

so unless you actively move files individually to the card (and know where to look)...

Bottom line... is there a hack/workaround on this that's not just "open up for file transfers" or is someone working on a ROM that might kill the partitioning and allow the /sdcard to actually point to a real external card?

acess-rights-hell

hi forum

i would like to use the EzyKernel v1 - 23/02/2012 as in post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513413&highlight=ezykernel

one of the prerequisites is a stock ZSKL firmware.

on the tab is/was XXKL4 AUT/CH

i successfully flashed the ZSKL2 - but that's where the nightmare started: i could not write to sdcard, busybox/superuser don't work properly, as i can't get root via su - which means to me, that there are messed up accessrights also in other places, not just the SD. the funny thing is, that i finally got the overclocking EzyKernel working, but not busybox + superuser.

does that sound familiar to anyone ?

i would really appreciate any ideas about this.

thank you

with best regards from switzerland

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] SonicMZ:
could you please explain what "make sure you have mounted the file system r/w" means. And sorry for my noob question, but does this fix allow to install apps on the external sd card or I'm missing something.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
in file explorer like "ES File Explorer" it is a setting to check before you get started changing items. I have to imagine similar functionality for other apps.

Flashed Calkulin's ROM which I believe has ad blocking enabled, which I would like to keep on at all times. However, recently installed Hulu Plus, modded for all devices, and realized that the adblocker prevents Hulu ads from showing, which causes an error/FC. Any idea on how I can allow ads ONLY on Hulu Plus?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
You would first need to find out what ad sites are being used by Hulu. Then remove or comment out the lines in the /system/etc/hosts file that contain those sites.

The problem is, I doubt Hulu is only using a specific set of ad sites.

Hi! I noticed there are a few people working on custom stuff for the Galaxy R. I am personally very interested in getting AOSP or CM for it. I'm a former Gentoo Linux dev, so I have a bit of somewhat related experience.

I would like to propose to form a team to work together and share our findings, resources and efforts, to produce an AOSP-based ROM for our beloved Galaxy R.

Who is with me?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] yngwin:
Some resources of interest:

ardatdat kernel

stock Samsung roms

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FranzJesus:
What about starting an IRC channel on freenode?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Yes...Modding with kitchen, erasing some bloatware...That's the way to get IMO "nicer" stock. I don't mean to diminish anybody's future achievements (and I'm not talking about any special rom here) but I think it's not enough to call it custom rom. Technically it is but practically It will still be stock, the same performance, just with modified appearance.

AOSP Teaser Release

I thought that I could atleast release a CWM-zip for those who are interested in testing how far we have got on the build. ZIP-file is unsigned.

Instructions:

- Nandroid backup ( and make sure you can get back :) )

- Wipe/factory reset

- Flash zip

- Reboot

Simple enought yeah!

This build is as before, non functioning for daily use, and is only recommended for experienced users.

Working:

- HW-acceleration

- Sound (but not during phonecalls)

- Network (have to manually add APN to get 3G-data)

Not working:

- Sensors

- Rotation

- Wifi

- SD-card mount

- Bluetooth

- Vibration is strange (workaround, when vibration get stuck, hold power down to get to menu where you can close and vibration stops)

- Everything else not mentioned

Download link (available for limited time):

TeamGalaxyR_AOSP_GB_Teaser.zip

Finally, flashing any kernels or ROMs have risks! Flash them at your own risk!

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
I rooted it and installed some apps (just pushed them via adb) but screenshots are impossible to take as long as sd-card doesnt mount.

I tried to toggle mobile network, manually (simply added a new APN according to information provided from my carrier) with no luck so far. BTW. which APN protocol (the last option, none of carriers provides such information) should be chosen to make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FranzJesus:
I used these settings: http://www.swedroid.se/wiki/index.php/APN-inställningar

And the question about protocol, I believe i used default ipv4. This is probably only to make it available for the future when we start to use ipv6 on the internet.

I'd love to but as soon as sdcard doesn't mount, there's no way to take a screen shot, cos there's simply no place to save them. (I took a LQ pic with my old SE ;) ) As for mobile data so I couldn't make it work yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FranzJesus:
It look like you don't even have GSM-radio. Weird, I have got radio atleast without modifying 3G-data.

I will see if I can upload a new zip tonight, which will include Internal SD-mount atleast. Will also verify that GSM is working before.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Actually it's the old pic :) Now I have the latest austrian radio (NELA1) but still mobile data doesn't want to be launched :)

The thing is, if your handset is plugged to the charger - there's no way to turn it off completely. It behaves like in case of fast boot - which means - no splash screen after reboot, u go directly to boot animation. After such fast restart you lose your coverage completely. System doesn't recognize your radio. And that's was the case when I took the photo :) You regain your coverage and successfully re-login to your network after disconnecting your phone and turning device on/off properly.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FranzJesus:
Weird right, I think it has something to do with firmware not getting downloaded.

The problem is wpa_supplicant doesn't seem to be running. I have tried starting it with the argument defined in int.n1.rc and that seems to work, atleast there is no error.

The error I am worried is the problem is:

E/macloader( 100): return of insmod : ret = 0, No such file or directory, uid(0)

But I have no idea what file is missing. It's not a dependency so it is a file thats being accessed from macloader binary.

I have tried insmod /lib/modules/dhd.ko and that is being loaded. It shows when running lsmod afterwards.

Update: Just checked the dev section. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:
Yes, making a custom ROM is just like putting all the things together.

When you get a stock ROM, you modify something and zip it back such that it could be flash-able using Odin3 / CWM recovery. It is already a custom ROM. It is not difficult to do so.

The fact is that different people have different interests. No matter it is UI / feature changes, there must be some ppl like/dislike it.

Therefore, making a good custom ROM is an 'ART'. While stability and flexibility are of the highest priority.

When you do a lot of customization that could only be applied to a particular version (say, after 1 month, there is another version released officially), you need to re-apply all of those customization to the new version again! (or you have changed too much that it is difficult to re-apply them!)

Let us share our knowledge and make a better ROM :D
