[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
is it possible force the MTP mode into Mass Storage Device ?

as for many users come from Nexus S , Nexus S uses mass storage device to communicate with PC for copy/past/delete files on internal SDcard

i found that it isn't same here on Galaxy Nexus , which uses new mode MTP ...

but i figured out this MTP is little bite pain in ass as i modified files with Root Explorer , but it doesn't show any changes when I try to access internal SDcard with PC to copy/delete files.

even i rebooted my phone twice or thrice , still doesn't show any changes ...

so i begin to miss the old MASS STORAGE DEVICE MODE as we had in Nexus S ...

is it possible to do so ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
If it was possible, it would have been done already. It is not possible on gnex because the sdcard is just a link on the /data partition, which cannot be unmounted while android is running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There is no way to enable USB Mass Storage. You're gonna have to deal with MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
.... well, in that case any possible solutions to what I have described about no showing files change in PC ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
not possible in this configuration. And honestly why would you want to? I certainly do not miss the delay of mount/dismount, also being able to access the storage on my phone at the same time as the connected pc is so much more useful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
I don't why and how to say it, for example, I want to mod SystemUI.apk so I copy from /system/app to /sdcard by using Root Explorer, then I connected my phone to PC, but windows explorer doesn't show SystenUI.apk exists in SDcard section while the Root Explorer indicates there is in the SDcard, even I rebooted my phone twice or thrice, it still doesn't show up in windows explorer...

This is what being bother me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
i just attempted your exact scenario and windows explorer is now showing systemui.apk in root of /sdcard/, soon as i copied the file using es explorer on the phone i saw my windows explorer window flicker and updated with the newly copied apk. i did this while the phone was connected fyi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Try the app "sdrescan". It'll for android o re "read" the sdcard and populate any changes in it's database.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
The implementation of MTP on Android 4.x is buggy. While it seems to work for some people, a large number of users experience issues with file transfers hanging & refresh issues. Forcing a rescan seems to work for the refresh issue.

Personally, I avoid MTP and use ADB for copying stuff. Follow the link in my signature for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
lol! try backing up your sdcard using MTP sometime. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crobs808:
I know this thread is old, but hoping someone can help - I cannot find ANY undelete programs for Windows that recognize my GNex. They all require Mass Storage Mode or a disk drive, and even though "Internal Storage" shows up in My Computer, none of the programs see it as a viable location for scanning.

I need to undelete a lot of files from my internal storage (sdcard folder on my GNex). How can I mount this? Or how can I mount the entire internal storage as a "drive" in Windows? I'll put the phone in any mode I have to recover what I accidentally deleted. Can I do it from recovery (mount sdcard perhaps?)

bull****

look at the nexus S. it has built in storage and it used USB mass storage prior to ICS.

it is not a hardware limitation, it is strictly software. google did it so the partition can be EXT3/EXT4 and allow an unlimited amount of storage for apps

the problem with this is, even with its EXT3/4 capability, MTP is ****ing TRASH on linux. i can only send files to my phone, i cant move them onto my PC. i cant move/delete/copy files within the storage.. the only way for me to do it is through a file manager on my phone and even then it doesnt update when i connect to my PC until i reboot my phone a few times.

MTP is a decent technology but mass storage should still be offered. why not have a scalable partition for apps using EXT and allow the rest to be what it wants. i dont know. there are many different ways they could have implemented this internal storage thing but MTP is the worst way (at least for linux)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrplowdan:
Nexus S's /sdcard is a separate partition, GNex's /sdcard is just a link to /data/media/0

In other words in with the nexus s the command umount /sdcard works and doesn't with the gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
again, not a hardware issue but a software issue.

why can we not partition the internal storage in this way?

the nexus S was partitioned to allow mass storage but with JB it doesnt allow it. it is obviously capable of reverting.

i dont know.. im gonna try to figure something out. ill come back with updates (if i remember to)

I`m new to android, I got my Samsung galaxy 3 days ago. So far I've rooted my device and installed ice cream sandwich. I love the experience but I don't like the touch wiz lockscreen. Is there a way I can change my lockscreen to the stock ICS lockscreen ? I tried Halo locker but the wallpaper cannot be changed

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrickbs:
Please Help

Someone please help. My question is How to get AOSP ICS Lockscreen on stock ICS rom ? My friend was able to do that on his htc by going into the system files and renaming the htclockscreen.apk. That's not applicable to GS3, how can i do it ?
[HTC One X] shadehh:
it started out a few days ago. I started to feel like my touchscreen is not as responsive as usual.

I noticed numerous times it felt like my swipes as well as my touch (say when i want to open a specific app) are not being registered properly. Now the way i recall my samsung galaxy s, it would register a click sometimes even when you're hovering about 0.5mm to 1mm above it. So with that in mind, i thought i would try to do that with my one x. I would hover my hand slightly above it, and no response - NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM JUST YET.

Anyways, seeing as hovering over it doesn't work (which is not a problem imo) i would proceed to touching the screen, however i touch it without applying any pressure, i could even swipe and it WOULD NOT switch over to the next screen. I could touch the screen and the application would NOT register my fingers. However, after applying more pressure it suddenly gets registered. Even though the pressure i have to apply is just slight, Isn't this how a resistive touchscreen is supposed to behave and not a captivate touchscreen?

I thought that's because of my screen protector, i took it off and gave it 2~3 days and the issue remained.

Now my question(maybe even a favor) to you guys is as follows.

1. Try to click on an app, however, do this without applying any pressure, simply touching your touchscreen (might have to do this slowly). Does it respond? Or is it the same with with you as it is with me?

2. Please report in on the behavior of your touchscreen.

NOTE: I just want to know if my touchscreen is behaving normally or not. I do recall a better experience, actually if anything i was very happy with my one x's screen and this is simply annoying. Espeically when i have it on a soft surface and i push my screen, normally a soft surface tends to bulge in upon pressure.

It could take three touches for that freaking thing to register it if my phone is lying on a pullover or whatever else that's soft. Lately i'm not really happy with how webpages scroll up or down either, feels as if my swipes are lightly registered thus a sluggish movement upward or downward.. I hope this is not yet another issue that i have to deal with because my unit already had a wifi defect and, despite being happy with this device it might be my last. It's just too troublesome. Unless my stupid provider replaces it but i could keep dreaming.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
0,5 - 1mm ? do you even realize how big this distance is? No way the SGS would register that... or react on that. (I come from that phone too)

with that in mind, my One X is much more responsive as the SGS or any other phone I had.

And no, I do not need to press. As the slightest pressure gives my screen ripples. not possible.

Either try another kernel if you have some custom one, I know there was some problems with those sometimes. Or factory reset if you are stock and then return it?
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Well maybe i exaggerated the hovering part but within a certain (very small distance, probably 0,2 maybe even 0,1 the screen would react).

I've been from viper, to jelly bean roms, to ARHD and Maximus. Same thing.

edit: actually, 0,5 mm is hardly anything if you look at how big a mm is and put and reduce the distance by 50%, anyway that's not the discussion http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/Cancernet/Media/CDR0000578121.jpg
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Hover taps/clicks happen, I'm sure I haven't touched the screen a couple of times but it responded to what I wanted to do. Anyways, try this app called touchscreen test to confirm your issue.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
So you are implying that hovering touch seems to work on your Hox?
[HTC One X] Presterin:
Hovering also works with my HOX. And I don't have to use any pressure, hardly even touch the screen.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
Same here. Hardly touching screen and still responds. I'm running stock 1.29.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
..mhm well how should I go on about this? I mean the people at the shop are not the brightest.. I gotta send it in though. It is annoying

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
What is the purpose of the AOKP&CM9 Remix uImage? I note that when I boot into CM9 at the menu, I get the same ROM, just without the AOKP splash. Are there other changes in it compared to the CyanogenMod uImage?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
It is because your Touchpad associates the installation with the moboot uImage. It will boot through the CyanogenMod uImage, yes, but you may find some things do not work. The wifi switch being grayed out is the most frequently seen issue.

You could do whatever you want with the uImage. You could edit the install script and call it Fluffy Bunnies, and then you would boot into that if you like. On the same note, you could call it CyanogenMod and not get an additional moboot entry.

Edit: Made this flashable .zip for you!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
And the uImage-CyanogenMod would be recreated if I flashed the latest nightly, right? What would happen if I continued to boot through the AOKP uImage with a CM9 system? Similar problems as booting to AOKP though CM9?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
Correct! What are you thinking of doing? Just trying to understand, or do you have an idea?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
No particular idea, I was just trying to understand why there is a distinct uImage for the AOKP remix, but any existing CM9 image isn't deleted. Since booting into the CM9 uImage is the default and causes problems if booted into after installing Remix, it would make sense to me that the script should both delete the uImage-CyanogenMod and write over the moboot.DEFAULT file or create a true dual-boot situation where either system could be retained.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mekanikz:
You could always use Android Commander to pull the apps to your PC and then put them on your SD card. You may also be able to use Titanium Backup to do it, but I'm not sure about that.

I would be interested in doing this as well, maybe there is a way to directly install to extSD?

Installing apps in SD card I dont know but you can use Titanium backup to backup them and restore back after a fresh flash install I think.. :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
I know I'm asking for a lot but I also want over the ear (not over the head DJ) or clip style. I read the headphone threads here in their entirety but nothing addressed my specific needs. I don't need anything fancy and to give you an idea, here's what I've been using for years now:

As you can see I'm not an audiophile when it comes to headphones. I bought my first pair of these about a dozen years ago and bought them for use under a motorcycle helmet. The look like they would be uncomfortable but surprisingly they are more comfortable under a helmet than ear buds which are smaller.

I digress.

I want something that is similar in design to these but I want an inline mic and music controls. I would like to be able to answer/end calls, play/pause music and skip forward & backwards. What I'm finding is that lots of these earphones won't control the Android phones fully. It sounds like some include free apps that will bring full functionality to the Android OS. For instance, these Philips earphones say they will do all sorts of snazzy things with the free app but the question is do these apps that manufacturers offer allow you to keep whatever music playing app you use? For instance, I use Google Music to stream all my music as my primary player so will this app work in union with this app? I would rather spend less but if these work as advertised I don't mind spending that much to get something that does what I need it to do. Here is another option for about 1/3 the price as those Philips but I don't know if they will work on the Android as it lists iPhone and Blackberry and I know some have issues.

I know someone will try to recommend more expensive headphones but if it's strictly for sound quality, I really don't care to spend more money to be honest. Look what I've been happy with for the past decade or so. Just looking for the cheapest corded headphones that meet my needs here.

Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Thanks for the heads up. I bought some Beats Tours at Best Buy today to get me through my trip I leave for in a few hours. Naturally $150 is WAY more than I planned to spend so I also ordered some knock-off Beats headphones that were around what you told me to search for. I plan to compare them side by side when they arrive and if the real headphones are 10x better I will keep them. This isn't likely but if the difference really is that big I'll keep them. So far I'm underwhelmed but haven't had too much of a chance to use them. I basically plugged them in long enough to install the free app 'Jays Headset' to configure it. Now, even though I only have the one button I have FULL controls of my phone and it appears to work flawlessly with limited testing I did. I may revisit this thread later on but for now I think I've got what I need. As I said in the OP I wanted clip style so if I decide I hate these in-ear style (possible) I will start fresh trying to find some more clip over the ear style.

You have to flash the SuperSU file from recovery to actually be rooted.

Download the "CWM flashable zip" and flash through Amon-Ra.

Indeed, you need two things for root.

The su binary, which is in one of your system folders.

And an app like SuperSu to manage root access for apps.

Hey

I have a problem with my hox, when i press the powerbutton to unlock it takes 4 up to 7 seconds sometimes to turn the screen on.

Also when i open an app it sometimes takes up to 3 seconds before the app really starts, homescreen and app drawer are lagging.

But games and such stuff are running smooth.

I had the same problem 1 or 2 months ago and fixed it by formatting internal sd card and restore all the data and restored an older nandroid.

But now i even installed cm10 with full wipe and after a few minutes the same problems come back.

I'm running CM10 Nightly 2012-09-23 and faux010vf kernel.

Has anyone experienced the same ?

Thanks for any help! :)
[HTC One X] Tw1tchy:
Lol your running a nightly and a variant free kernel that is given no proper support. Here's a easy fix to have a fast solid HTC One X >

1. Backup important data (TiBakup)

2. Install ViperX 2.7.1 (or HoX rom, I recommend no nightlies and try to stick with sense based roms)

3. Setup the phone to your liking and restore backup from step one.

4. Reboot device and charge to full.

5. Flash Faux123's 010M and wipe dalvic and cache ( or 010u but i recommend staying away from vf)

6. after a full boot set your cpu settings under VenomX's built in CPU control (or cputweaker or the like)

7. reboot one more time for safety

I'm getting 1.55GHz quad, almost no battery drain on deep sleep/idle and around 5.4hrs of on screen a 21hrs of battery from 100% to 5% and the device runs way colder than any device I've touched while benching or gaming. Honestly what more could you get out of this device?
[HTC One X] MeLViN-oNe:
Yeah thanks but i dont want sense, i'd rather like to know whats causing the issue.

Funny thing is i had the same crap on ARHD months ago, it was just an folder on sd card

that screwed the rom up.

I'm running cm9 cm10 since the first preview and never had any problems with that.

Same for faux and the vf versions..all perfect but now it is a pain really :D

I know there are numerous tutorials and videos (most of which I have read/watched) on rooting/flashing. I'm sure somebody will be offended that I'm asking this question so if that's you, please just move on, no need to criticize me or belittle, I'm learning!

I've got the Thunderbolt rooted and think I'm ready to flash a rom. From what I've seen/read it seems like I'm ready to try a rom, but just want to make sure I'm not missing something. I've seen stuff about kernals and just want to make sure I don't brick the phone.

After rooting (I had a software version that was the new one, so I had to downgrade (temp root) and then finalize the root.

I downloaded the Rom manager app, I know how to use MD5 to check the file, I've watched a video on how to install whatever rom I choose via rom manager. I understand that making a backup of my current system and clearing cache/temp files is a must.

So did I miss anything, if the MD5 checksum is good, do I just flash as described and enjoy?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyAg08:
Personally, I would flash through recovery instead of ROM Manager. I've never used ROM Manager, but I've always felt you have a lot more probability to be right by working through recovery. If you work through recovery...make a nandroid, wipe data/factory reset, install ROM, wipe cache/dalvik, install any other ZIPs on top of the ROM, enjoy.

I searched about this in google and this forum, with no success.

In my unbranded unrooted internationa I9100 with ICS 4.0.4 I have a folder:

mnt/sdcard/SystemAndroid/Data

The folder has 2 subfolders:

What is this SystemAndroid/Data ?

Can I safely delete it? (It takes nearly 1 GigaByte)

Best regards and thank you for your time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Mnt/Sdcard contains no important system files so no "harm" will be done.

The worst case is you may need to reinstall an app.

If it were my phone I would backup the "systemandroid" folder to Ext SD card and then remove it. Use your phone for a few days and if nothing freezes or won't open then you're fine.

One question though........ 150mb and 150mb is nowhere near 1gb, so I'm a bit confused?
