I'm glad it helps!!

OK, I mucked around with the CM9 script a bit on my s3 and I _think_ it started running when I removed the .txt extension.

But only the internal sd was being mapped, which leads me to believe there's something wrong with "mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:25 /mnt/sdcard" line.

What should be done to get the same results in galaxy note? I'm missing some of the numbers in the list, can I get them somehow?

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] superdog404:
I have a Tab 2 10.1 that I looked the numbers up and they are 179:24 and 179:25. That is all that is in the folder. I haven't as yet tryed them. I also have a sgs2 I777. Looking at that folder there are a whole bunch of numbers 179:8 253: etc something. There are probably at least 10. I tryed to open a couple of them to see if I could see what needed to be used but haven't been able to.

Darz, your explaination of how this all works is really GREAT! It's the first explanation I have really understood. The others seemed like they were talking to the experts.

Thank you

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] superdog404:
Ok Darz - Here is a question. The line "mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/emmc" in the cm9 script. In my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. There is no reference in "/data/media /mnt/emmc" to the external sdcard. The way I get to it normally is to go to "mnt/extsdcard/". So, does that mean I should remove the "/data/media/emmc" to just "mnt/extsdcard"? I don't know what the data media refers to.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] aletheus:
Maybe this is over my head, but it appears this is jist swapping the data partiton, is there any way to just trick the device into thinking extSD IS the internal storage? Like having the device boot from mmcblk1 instead of mmcblk0, so that all partitions are actually on the extsd card? Or is this totally impossible.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] darz:
I'm not sure what you mean by that, what do you see in /dev/block/vold?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] darz:
The only way I know how to test which number is correct, is to run the script for each one (I don't know if this is the case for all but in most cases the correct one has been the one with the bigger second number, e.g. if the vold folder contains 179:24 and 179:25, usually 179:25 is the correct one)

Thanks! That's probably because I'm no expert either :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] darz:
I'm not really sure about this, but I think /data/media is a core android (or linux) thing, so don't touch that part!

What you should write instead is "mount -o bind /data/media mnt/extsdcard"

I have 4 numbers in my vold folder 179:96 all the way to 99.

Each time I run the mount command, it says mount directory not found - for all 4 of them.

So I basically end up with the internal SD card mounted to /sdcard0 and /sdcard1 which is useless.

Any ideas?

Mod For Devices With Multiple SD Sources (Sony Xperia J)

I've just worked through this thread and want to say a massive THANK YOU to darz for this! I've always been disappointed by the lack of ability to change the default order of SD cards, and the lack of any symlink apps out there which will redirect the WHOLE SD card, only selective subdirs. I should have known the only answer was... to CODE it yourself!! ;)

Anyway, I believe I had the exact same issue you were having; It began when I was flicking through /proc/mounts to find the vold ID for my external SD, as presumably due to different manufacturers they have different memory addresses... anyway, after running through the script setup using /dev/block/vold/179:33, my 32GB external SD card successfully mounted as sdcard0, great!! However then I realised I also was missing my internal storage SD card. :(

Anyway, after faffing about for a while I figured out that my device, (a Sony Xperia J) has an internal (phone) storage area, an internal SD card (2GB), and the the external SD card is the one you put in, which in my case is a 32GB - I'm sure you can see why I wanted this mod to work!! :D

So I figured out that all I had to do was jump back into the /proc/mounts file to find the vold ID for what was sdcard0, and use the same mount method for it as we use for sdcard1, rather than mapping it to /data/media - which on my phone/setup, isn't used!

So basically what I ended up with was:

mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/sdcard0

mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:16 /storage/sdcard1

## mount -o bind /data/data /storage/sdcard1

I rem'd out the bottom line rather than delete it just to keep it as a reference. :)

Anyway, that's the end of my story, I hope that helps you or anyone else reading this thread and trying to figure out the mapping!

Thanks again to darz! I'm over the moon! :D

Peace!
[Android Apps and Games] itandy:
This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.

Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.

Installation instructions:

Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **

Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider

Run Lockscreen Shortcuts

Select your app for the 4 shortcuts

Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitflipster:
I recently flashed a Paranoid ROM (nightly build v1.991, Aug 21) downloaded using GooManager.

All worked fine initially, until recently the power button stopped responding/working.

I tried rebooting the phone by taking the battery out (I did not have to press power button, since it auto-starts), but it did not help.

I could enter the fastboot mode while rebooting by pressing Power button + Volume up button.

However in fastboot mode, the volume rockers (which work everywhere else, eg: recovery) along with power button, were not responding , also "fastboot devices" command did not recognize any device.

Now, to re-flash the Paranoid ROM or a stable ROM, I needed the power button in CW Recovery.

So I was left with a single option of flashing the Touch-CW recovery without fastboot mode.

I managed to do that using Terminal app (the one that opens the shell from the underlying kernel) from the ROM itself.

Now I could flash ROM using the Touch-CW recovery.

I tried re-flashing the Paranoid ROM, flashing a stable CM ROM but none helped.

Latter, I tried various drivers (PDAnet, Samsung, raw adb drivers from Android SDK) and toolkits to get the fastboot mode working but to no avail.

Note: The "adb" commands work correctly when the Nexus S is connected in USB debugging mode.

But no matter what the fastboot mode and the power button do not work!

Please help!

Details of device:

Nexus S, I9023, (SLCD version).

Kernel: 3.0.38-CyanogenMod

Jelly Bean v4.1.1,

Paranoid Android v1.991.

Update 1:

Recently I have updated to paranoid 2.0 (September 7) build. The problem still persists.

Update 2:

Nexus S has been bricked, I suppose!

It now does not start and gives no response to pressing of any combination of the keys(hard and soft).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
That's normal, because your power button is broken, that has nothing to do with the ROM. If you take a moment and search the web you'll see it's a very common problem for Nexus S.

Send your phone for repair if it's under warranty or if you're ready to afford the repair from Samsung. Otherwise you can fix it yourself if you have experience with small electronics, although I would advise against it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitflipster:
Thanks for the quick reply. However, I'm able to start the phone in fast boot mode by holding down the power and volume buttons.

Also, any thoughts about the buttons not working in fastboot mode?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Again, known problem. With a quick search you're able to find answers to these questions.

Whenever the power button breaks, often enough it will stay stuck as pressed in thus activated. Fastboot can only react to one button press at a time thus will act as if the power button was being held. The volume rocker will not be able to work as long as the power button is "held". And since it's broke, it's continually held, so you can't scroll.

You can technically and in practice live with the power button not working. Many people manage to do so.

-From within Android, you can reboot to recovery using either an app or an embedded menu in many custom roms. Using a touch recovery such as CWM 6.0.1.0 or 5.8.0.2 you can use it without any problem.

-To wake up your phone from sleep you can use volume rocker wake embedded in some custom roms.

-To put it to sleep you can use shortcut apps/widgets, a notification bar shortcut, let the timeout do it's work or use a proximity/light sensor app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitflipster:
Thank you once more.

I am already doing well without the power button, by using volume rocket to switch on the display and touch CW recovery.

To clarify that power button is functional, I tried to enter fast boot mode by only holding down the volume up key, but couldn't enter it as power button was not pressed.

Also the volume rockers work properly in recovery, hence if the power button was continuously being pressed , they would malfunction.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Does it work properly EVERY time (and I mean that) while in Android?

Fastboot and recovery are different beasts though. I've not heard of problems in recovery when the power button was stuck, unlike fastboot.

It's possible your power button hasn't failed you completely yet. They tend to be flaky at first then one day just out right stop working. Sims22 on these boards has one that works if he smacks his phone a bit, to give you an example. :p
