[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I think that the symlinks are there just for backwards compability issues with apps, that look under /sdcard/ mount point. it doesn't have anything to do with fs, android never used fat, or ntfs; known fs in android are yaffs2, ext4 and maybe a few proprietary ones like sammy's rfs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
The real sdcards were formatted as fat, and most apps that used them to store data only knew how to read/write a fat fs. I found this out by creating a mountable volume on a real sdcard on my old phone. It mounted as a directory on the sdcard. If I formatted the volume as fat, all my apps could use it normally. If I formatted it as ext(anything), a few apps could use it but most could not.

The symlinks are for backwards compatibility, but I believe the fuse filesystem virtual sdcard0 exists to make ext4 look like fat to all apps and to windows.

Note that if the gnex "sdcard" had its own partition, it could be formatted as fat and mounted as USB external storage like a real sdcard. I don't know, but it seems like Google went out of their way to prevent that.

The Google line is that the gnex sdcard shares an ext4 partition to maximize space, ie no unused wasted space on two partitions. But that is pretty farfetched, since the number of problems caused by this arrangement is huge in proportion to the "space saved" which is negligible.

Obviously, the real reason for this kludged-up mess is to discourage local storage/backup and encourage cloud storage, which can then be monetized.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
sure, i was talking about nand storage. still, if apps really depend on that to survive (said "fat compability"), it's unlogical to me coming from linux, where several fs can co-exist, as you may know.

if sdcard had its own partition like you say, and it could be formatted to fat, it would suck from a performance point of view, right? because its way slower than ext4 or yaffs2?

sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Sure, Android knows how to read/write fat as well as ext(n). But I guess the app devs figured sdcards would be fat forever. so they only included fat I/O in their apps.

Yes, ext4 is better than fat. But fat+mass-storage is far better and faster than ext4+fuse+mtp. For example, an sdcard backup from fat mounted as mass storage to a pc is much faster and more reliable than an sdcard backup using mtp. MTP backups are painfully slow and often won't even complete due to errors.

4. Did you back up in recovery and do the restore and then get stuck up?

5. From ics then go back to gb by using pc odin and then stuck up?

Flashing safe kernel like abyss..

Do full wipe/factory reset,u must do it or u will get stuck more n more..

N then flashing the custom rom..

Bud, it should have you do a backup using backup titanium before do a flashing..

not all the custom rom can run well without doing a full wipe ..

So do a full wipe if you want to flash the custom rom ..

do a full wipe on a secure kernel like abyss kernel..

Does any one know what all will help turn 3g off ? Im on an limited plan n need to turn it of from time to time. Coming from being an galaxy s2 owner, I find this to be annoyed. Can anyone help?
[HTC One S] nhatters:
Pull down the notification bar, Settings, and there should be a toggle for Mobile network. I'm pretty sure you can still receive text messages and calls when this is off.
[HTC One S] voonli24:
This does not work. In mobile network page, everything is checked off originally when I first pop in my micro sim and I have been having 4g connectivity since then. I tried checking it then unchecked it but it won't do anything. Most of the apps I downloaded brought me to the mobile network page so I tried to repeat the same steps but it won't turn the 4g off.
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Hi folks. For some reason, a small chunk of the tab inside my DS7 power port has been broken. It looks like somebody got hungry and chewed a tiny piece of it off. So as of right now, the power cable will not charge the DS7. I noticed on ebay somebody selling repair service for it and was quoted

$100 seems a tad expensive as it's over 1/2 what I paid for it. Does anybody have any recommendations like a DIY kit or know of somebody doing cheaper repairs? I like this little, fiesty tablet and am not ready to scrap it quite yet especially if the JB rom gets going.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
buy the part and install it your self, there is a disassembly guid in general too
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Hi Noc and thanks for the info. Does it require any soldering or is this a fairly simple setup?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
If it's the port, you either need just the port itself (which requires soldering) or the entire motherboard (which could be pricy)
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
once the streak is disassembled its a 5min job to remove the old one and attach then new one (given that you are alright at soldering) the risk with this is that you could short the mobo if you suck at soldering
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Damn. I have no soldering equipment here nor have I ever done it.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
go to walmart and pick some up for about $15-35
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
I'll see if mine has some soldering equipment. Sad to lose that Steak just a few weeks after getting it.
[Dell Streak 7] uNMd:
My port is broken too, no way i could solder a 30pin connector with my eqiupment. Can anyone post a picture where I can find the two power pins. Are they on the left or on the right side. All I want is to charge it. I see some little circles on the board that could be additional places to solder my two cables, anyone any ideas ? I know it isnt the best solution to have a cable looking out of my streak but i alrdy bought a female mini usb connector. That could be of good use here. If needed i could make a photo of the circle pins on the board so anyone could say me wich one is what.

Heres a picture of my board and the circles that i mentioned above.

Can anyone say me wich pins are for usb 2.0 data ?
[Dell Streak 7] Maybe not:
broken ports

If I am posting to the wrong place I apologize. The real quesrtion is this is why do the pins keep burning off. The second question is why did dell stop all support for the ds7. The ds7 was and is defective from the start. Dell now refuses any support. I have two ds7s with the same problem. So I ask how many of you agree there should be a class action law suit againt dell? My newest unit is four months old called dell the are refusing to do anything about the situation. I asked if I could send my ds7 in for repair and pay for repair, answer was no, dell is no longer doing repairs, to make things more upsetting dell is selling the ds7 at fry's for $200. Who is interest in a class

action lawsuit with me? I will start a suit with or without support. The whole ds7 problem is just plan wrong. Feel free to email me at bartonweiland@hotmail.com. btw I am almost sixty years old not a young person with a bad attitude. Wrong is wrong and dell is out of line with the ds7. Thanks. Bart
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Dell may in longer be selling it. Fry's could just have a last batch if old stock.
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
So this power port problem seems to happen rather frequently?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
if its not the tablet its the charger or the proprietary cable (f*** you dell) I have had to repair the cable myself due to its abnormally short length and my habits of trying to use it away from the charger while it was on charge (heat shrink electrical plastic + solder fixed the issue though)

I'd say replacing the part yourself would take about 15min once device is disassembled
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Sadly the ports on Ebay went back up to around $99. I *thought* I saw one for like 10. All the Dell 5 ports are cheap, the Dell 7 ones are basically almost the price I paid for the thing :(
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Then get a new one, lol. Understand if you can't.
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Anybody want to buy a Streak 7 and then repair it? It's rooted already.
[Dell Streak 7] sainthooligan:
I have had two D7's with the issue. The first was due to a bent pin, took some tweezers and flattened the pin, then slightly bent the the metal casing of the charging cable outward- but bend it more toward the ends of each side, as a result the middle slightly bowed outward but it worked.

...and have to put the plug into the port at an extremely slight angle to go in smooth, once in, it charges fine. been using it that way for about 8months, no sweat.

The reason for slightly "opening" the ends of the the charging cable is so that it fits better over the end pins on the charging port tabs.

It is likely that some of those that have broken/cracked ports and/or bent pins wind up not working still because the edge of the charging cable catches on a pin, so by bending the cable housing just a little, it helps give it the lift to get over any pins that would normally catch and they'll make enough contact to charge and also connect via USB. That's also why plugging in at a slight angle helps the pin get "under" the outer housing of the charging cable.

However, the second one DS7 that had the issue more like what is in the initial post regarding an actual cracked charging port tab.

In mine, there's two small chunks of the top tab and one small chunk off the bottom tab in the power port. Yes, BOTH the bottom and top charging port tabs were damaged!

Mine was due to my little one horsing and tripping over the cord, when it yanked out at an angle...well...it got screwed up. At first it didn't seem like it was going to work, but after a little bit of careful fiddling...

Anyhow, I did have to use the tweezers again AND had to slightly bend the plug as described earlier. That said, I charge this thing daily and no issues, nor have to replace the port. If you fiddle around a little with the plug itself (ie. try bending it open just a little on the ends that match where the charging port tab pins were bent) and plugging in at a slight angle, it may very well help some of the others with this issue.

It's worked for me now on two different devices with very similar isues... so all I can say is these small tweaks worked for me...this DS7 has been charging/USB plugging fine for about 6 months of daily use... hope someone else can benefit.

Here's a few couple of (blurry )pics:

View of the cracked port - top tab was cracked, side view - screen facing "away"

View of the cracked port - and the bottom tab was cracked/broken also, side view -screen facing "toward"

The end of the cable with the very slight bow outward because of slight spread outward to the ends of the housing
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Hi Saint. Did you get a PM from me? I thought I sent one but I can't tell.
[Dell Streak 7] sainthooligan:
yes. sent you something back.
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
I'm necroing this old thread because-IT WORKS! All i needed to do was replace the power cable. Despite the HORRIBLE condition the tab in the power port looks, the Streak 7 still gets charge and works now. Amazing. Onward ho to JB 4.2 from Honeycomb!
[Dell Streak 7] sainthooligan:
Cool! Have you looked inside the plug on the old cable? It could be there was part of the port still in it as well.

I recently found a small piece of the charging tab inside of one of mine lol...it wasn't big enough of a piece of debris to prevent it from connecting on that cable (it was one I used as a spare).

But hey- at least its working for you!
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
Oh great you're still around. Was going to message you this piece of good luck. I can see some slight glinting as if metal is stuck in the old power cord. I now have 2 working Streak 7s. The old one running HC with the chewed up tab and a new one from Ebay that seemed bricked. I took it from what I assumed was an unrooted state and got the JB 4.2 beta on it from Giveen. Since it went off without a hitch, I'll be taking my HC one up to JB. If that goes well, the Tmobile Streak (the one from Ebay) is going back on Ebay for sale as a rooted Streak running JB :D
[Dell Streak 7] sainthooligan:
Yep, still keep an eye around, as I still have the two DS7's. 1 doesn't see much use, the other has been commandeered by my boys and sees battle action daily...lol...I haven't yet brought myself to try and part with the pair of tabs yet.

Though, I have me some nexus 7 goodness, I still mess & test with the DS7...I dunno- maybe I'm also just waiting to see how far the devs take it...Giveen and co. are certainly kicking butt!

That's nice that you can turn that one around on ebay as working AND updated, hope it goes well for you.
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:

[Dell Streak 7] long6688:
Wth 150 usd? To expensive. I can buy a new one with it. I bid for 50 r u ok?
[Dell Streak 7] NapalmDawn:
I like my N7 also as it's amazingly fast and I just came up to a JB 4.2 based ROM on it. To me, the DS7 is the little tablet that could. I had a soft spot for it considering I had only used it somewhat briefly before the power port incident. To think that it was only the power cord blows my mind. That DS7 has been idle for pretty much 3/4 of a year before I tackled it. I was using it around the Olympics to keep track of things on the NBC app.

Long-That's just the "I want it, I'm going to buy it now" price. If you're in the US, feel free to bid.

[Transformer TF300T General] RojasTKD:
Originally the TF300 was listed as unsupported. I side loaded the app but it ran slow and was unusable. A couple of days ago the app was updated and now supported the FT300, unfortunately it suffered the same slowness issue. Some one suggested clearing the cache, so I did. BAM, it now works great.

So if your having issues try this:

settings>apps>Live Extra>clear cache

hope it helps someone else.

GO USA!

[HTC Rezound] porkrynd:
So I saw this theme and APM over on the ViperX Theme Thread and asked Dunc001 if he could port it over for us viperRez users. He was waaay cool and did it and asked me to post this over here for the Rez folks!! So, here it is folks!

Dunc001's redShift SysUI THEME + APM for viperRez:

Theme contains animated sync, GPS aquiring signal and battery charged icons:

There are 2 files you will need to download:

* venom redshift apk LINK

* Modified SysUI/NotificationBar/APM Zip LINK (12.4mb)

DIRECTIONS:

1) Install the redshift apk file as normal

2) Head into Venom Tweaks > Status bar > Status bar icons theme > Theme pack (choose: redShift SysytemUI Theme)

3) While in status bar tweaks, scroll down to change background color to white w/ no transparency

4) Boot into recovery

5) PERFORM BACKUP

6) Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

7) Install the redShift zip file

8) Reboot and enjoy the awesomeness!!

ALL OF THIS IS TWRP FRIENDLY!

I have these 2 files on my dropbox...if anyone has a better hosting idea, please let me know. (XDA only allows zip files up to 11.4mb)

I hope you guys dig it and be sure to give Dunc001 a big thanks!! This was MOST appreciated!

UPDATE:

Thanks to gadget from Team Bamf for this awesome dropdown background! I just inverted it for use here.

Just download background and apply in Venom tweaks.

LINK TO BACKGROUND
[HTC Rezound] Dunc001:
Just a couple of things to note - the fully charged pulse animation doesn't show at present - working on it to try and figure out why (doesn't work on ViperX either :silly:). Plus no need to manually wipe cache and dalvik as the zip does that for you. Hope you enjoy it, there are other colours available (see the main thread linked to in the OP) - let me know if you want any of the other flavours :cool:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spartan062984:
Hey all, sorry if Noobish, but i seem to recall being able to Modify the times for "when" to sync your accounts under Setting > Accounts and Sync > [registered account] (Ex: Gmail, Skype, Twitter, FB, etc). I remember prior to ICS that we could change it to 15 mins, 30 mins, etc for Syncing each account. I have searched through the various options in settings + searched through the Q/A thread with no success. Am I looking in all the wrong areas, or did i miss something completely?

Also, I am currently switching between Blazer and Team Venums Odexed Blue rom. Either way, stock or not, i could not locate that option. The only reason why I am even bothering (since some may ask "why when Sprint has unlimited data?") ---- its because I am conducting tests myself on Battery life.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
Aside from themes and customization what are the differences? What should I expect using them ?

I'm on ARHD right now and been itching to flash to Viper rom but I'm leaving for a trip so I can't afford to switch roms in between.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
If ARHD is working fine for you right now, then wait till you get back. I did the stupid mistake of flashing CM10 before a trip and it kinda made things really difficult. The camera was all messed up, GPS was acting up and battery life was quite unpredictable, so I couldn’t rely on my phone when I really needed it.

However, since Viper is also a sense ROM you wouldn’t notice that much of a difference, but still you never know what kind of trouble you might run into....
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
I'm relatively new to the forums so been reading up on everything, I just flashed ARHD today and it would be insane to switch immediately without giving it a try :) What happened to leedroid btw? Seems he's been inactive at the HOX forums, I really love his work on the Desire from way back.
[HTC One X] jinkira:
I have been using the ViperX Rom now for awhile and besides the sheer Customisation of the ROMs I don't see any much difference (last ARHD Rom I used was 7.1)

But I must say that it is frikin awesome specially the whole auto software update so dont really have to manually flash your phone with the latest ROM/build each time

thats my 5c
[HTC One X] Goku80:
ARHD is a stock rom tweaked by Mike to give you the better performance and great battery life. He removes all unwanted crapware and installs apps that are useful. there are a few mods as well that are made for his rom as well...just check Jotha's mods in his opening page of the thread..

Viper X is a stock rom as well but with a lot of tweaks by that team and very customizable. so many icon packs so many statusbar themes that you will have your lips drooling...all honesty both are great roms but for me ARHD gives me that extra edge cause you get great support, the dev is awesome and pure and simple it is one great freaking rom
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Another Viper user here, and can't recommend it enough, not too much difference between them all, just personal choice, and i like running "de sensed". but i would also agree with previous advice in leave it until you return from your break, i have settled on Viper as my daily driver having tried others over the last few months (ARHD, Insertcoin, Leedroid, Jellybean)

Leedroid is having personal issues that's why there is no activity on the rom.
[HTC One X] MemphisLeak:
From my experience with ROMs based on stock firmware, they are all pretty much the same performance and battery wise. The difference comes in customization and so forth.
[HTC One X] unome1233:
You might want to stay with ARHD because viper x is not running on the newest sense 4.1
[HTC One X] meleelord:
Personally I prefer Viper rom purely just becuase of the amount of customizations which are not available on ARHD. If you wish to stay with a rom which has not strayed too far from stock, but has better performance then perhaps stay with ARHD. If you like to change the look of the theme and icons etc. I would highly suggest going for Viper which also includes many performance enhancements.

Either way they are both good.

Trying not to go off subject, you do however have many choices of kernels to use. Big differences can come in to play with the path you take. I peronally use faux.
[HTC One X] xSilv85:
Maybe a little OT but my 2 cents is the both of the two worlds:

I use InsertCoin Rom 7.3.0 and it is just perfect. You get the smoothness of ARHD and some tweaks of Viper roms.

I find EQS really good and just 1 theme has been released.

Ofcourse you can use ARHD and flash yourself all the mods, but it is easier pre-cooked imho

Did you compare the feature list of both rom's?
