[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob.teatow:
Can't or Won't mount sdcard in recovery

Stumbled on this one when trying to load CM from /sdcard in recovery.

Found the hint in another forum on this board, but the answer was not quite clear to me until I fiddled with it, trying all the wrong things...

Finally...

From the first standard recovery menu, enable or start the adb daeamon.

Then `adb shell` ... (assuming you've already rooted using psneuter or something)

Now see what you see for `ls -ld /dev/block/mmcblk0p1`

For my "stock" defy mb525 this device was not defined when in recovery - but was defined one I booted all the way to normal.

But we need the device defined now, in "custom recovery"..... so simple while still on the recovery screen of the phone, but from adb vis usb cable ...

mknod /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 b 179 1

mknod /dev/block/mmcblk0 b 179 0 # for good measure, to match definitions elsewhere

And then on to custom recovery, backup/restore, install from zip, etc, etc..

(I've been hacking Linux/Unix and such for many years -- but I'm new to the world of Android/phone hacking --

once I'm in adb shell -- things are easy for an old Unix guy ;) :o )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacentre:
Hi All

Sorry if I have to ask a dumb question here. I'm currently using Stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4 ROM and I have just installed HydraCore v5.4 kernel.

If I install the HydraCore v5.4 kernel, does this mean I always have to look for any future ROM WITHOUT a kernel?

I understand that many ROMs come combined with a kernel packaged with it so what do if I want a particular ROM but also want to keep HydraCore?

Thanks in dvance.

Trevor
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
there is no such rom without a kernel.. all ROMs will have its own kernel. but then later u can change it to ur choice. Hydracore is compatible with most of the ROMs.

so if u want to keep hydracore.. u need to install the rom first and then change the kernel manually to ur choice
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivg86:
A rom can not be completed without kernel.

You see kernel is like backbone and basic thing required by rom.

Hydracore is good.

like i said i ran everything and backed up everything that needed to be backed up with nvflash. i am still on .26 and i am kind of stuck on where to go. i want to try clean rom out but it says i need to be on the jelly bean bootloader, do i get this from asus? do i have to update to stock jelly bean and then go to the rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
That's one way to go. I haven't flashed any official JB ROM yet, and run CleanROM at the moment (though that might be different tomorrow, or it may stay a wek ;) ). I flashed ZEUS 34, the unofficial CM10 builds by hiemanshu, Baked Bean... Guess I tried them all, and I didn't touch the bootloader in any explicit way. I guess the AndroidRoot bootloader (which, as you should know by now, is installed prior to installing Nvflash) is able to tackle these ROMs all by itself. ;)

Guys that's very cool seeing HOX debranded users enjoying JB + Sense ROMS, pretty smooth, bugs are now limited and stuff

I know there is a problem with CID on branded devices (ex: mine is ORANG202 in France) so cannot install any JB + Sense ROM.

And i'm not crazy i won't try "wonderful" methods like [Guide] How to install JB ..Tool JB Firmware flasher, and take a risk to brick my phone

So my question is, what about us? Branded devices user? Yes i've read a lot of time "if your CID doesn't match don't flash, you have to wait" but how long? Are devs really trying to solve this problem or they just "care about" supported CID devices?

I'm not here to scream, or cry. I'm just wondering when can we have an opportunity to flash JB+ sense ROM..

Sorry for any faults, thanks for reading

There is not much anyone can do I'm afraid. It really is a case of waiting... hopefully not that long now as people seem to be expecting it this month. By the looks of test releases it is getting closer to final.

build.prop editing

COROLLARY

A build.prop file can sometimes also be found in system/bin/ under the name build.prop or simply build. If such a file exists, it needs to be modified too.

This file actually takes precedence over the build.prop file found in system/. This means that the settings will be called from this file and will overwritte the settings found in system/build.prop. It also means that you can modify only this file.

So I've had my N7 about a week and its almost perfect. The only real problem I'm having is sound. Whenever I'm playing music locally or streaming from Google play, ill get ungodly popping and skips in music playback. It only happens when I'm multitasking, so I know its not a general hardware fault.

I'm currently using paranoid android, latest version. I've tried different kernels, governers and schedulers but nothing seems to fix the issue. Tried disabling DSP Manager and wiping/restoring. It's hard to see how the device can get overstressed while playing music. My Galaxy nexus doesn't have this problem, and its not as powerful.

I've tried researching the issue, but all I've been able to find are complaints about the speaker. I'm not using speaker and have tried several pairs of headphones.

Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?
