[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da Avenger:
It would be great to have UBUNTU OS on our mighty defy...if it's not possible due to locked bootloader , i guess we might have to spam the motorola facebook page and its forum for the bootloader of motorola phones to be unlocked :p

And this OS is still at its initial stage of development because of which there is a little lag even while running on Gnex..it might be worth trying after the official release
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Hey buddy, the locked bootloader is no longer an issue, haven't you seen the new custom kernel roms?

We don't have to get frustrated any more trying to deal with Motorola
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da Avenger:
Yeah dude , i almost forgot the custom kernel thingy :p

it all became possible due to Quarx , he truly deserves a beer :D

Cant wait for some developer to port it on our defy :cowboy:
[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
Hello, I have previously owned a Galaxy Ace which never had an internal SD storage and things were so much more simpler. Apps could be installed on removable SD. Apps were not confused when installing. I have realised that with this phone, when installing big games for example FIFA 12 or Need for Speed Most Wanted, it thinks that the internal SD storage is the removable SD card and won't download game data due to not having enough space. This 1.10GB worth of storage is totally useless and I would rather not have it for reasons of simplicity and just have a large removable SD card media instead. This 1.10GB internal storage space is insignificant when compared to 32GB removable SD Card and really is not worth the grief.

I have tried Link2SD to overcome this issue without any success as it moves the data files from the /data/data partition to the removable SD but not the Data which has been downloaded to Android/Data directory on the internal SD storage. Now I know that there are utilities (such as directory bind) which can swap the internal SD with the external SD. I also know that you can modify vold.fstab to do exactly the same. But I would rather not have this internal storage or if possible, have it extended to the internal data storage.instead.

Can someone please guide me on how to extend this irrelevant partion to data partition or have it removed entirely and just have a simple storage configuration like I did with the Galaxy Ace or older phones before all these large storages were introduced. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace II General] monstro78:
you need modified "vold.fstab"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044439
[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
No that just swaps the partitions. If you go to settings>storage the Removable SD card shows as USB storage and the internal SD is showing as SD Card. This is not what I want. Furthermore the fact that external SD is mounted in sdcard path is even more annoying and confusing at times.

What I am looking for is removeable SD card to be mounted as mnt/sdcard. And the internal SD card to be extended with some other internal partition such as data partition or just removed altogether. In simple terms I want the same file structure as my Galaxy Ace S5830.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
If want the removable SD card to be mounted as mnt/sdcard then the vold.fstab could do the trick. You said you wanted to play games right? That's what I use to play Need for Speed Most Wanted on my phone. As for the "Internal Storage" or the 1.20 GB Partition, modifying it and adding or removing other partitions would require a .pit file which as far as i know is responsible for partitioning the phone and unfortunately we do not have. Does this answer your question?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
It does answer my question although not the answer I wanted to hear. I used to think highly of Android when I used the Galaxy Ace as it did not have this issue due to not having a internal usable storage. But how on hell did Samsung decide to put a puny amount of storage space and mount it as sdcard. I feel sorry for the normal users who have never come across rooting and mods. I am sorry as much as I have love for Android phones, I think my next phone will be an Apple. Never thought I would be saying this but I am honestly tired of this stupid internal sd / external sd configuration. This has even put me off purchasing phones like the Galaxy S3 as you will still have this stupid configuration to get your head over. End of rant.

Is is possible to mount the removable SD card as /mnt/sdcard and the internal puny storage as /mnt/USB or any other name so as not to confuse it with SD Card. At the same time not having the storages swapped and in their right places when checked in settings>storage?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
whats the problem with swapping them? I'm hardly annoyed by this kind if situation. if you are almost filling up the 1.20GB storage then you can move some of the apps to the 1.10GB "external_sd". Then to make sure you use the REAL sd card set the default installation path to be internal memory.

[Galaxy Ace II General] monstro78:
and I say again... if you change "vold.fstab" then you will have that you say above. I have /mnt/sdcard = 32gb and /mnt/sdcard/external_sd = 1.1gb
[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
That is more of a workaround than a fix as swapping it loses the Unmount SD Card options for the removable media in settings>storage. The same with Directory Bind. They both do the trick but not quite the way I would have wanted it to do so.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Then we cant do anything for that matter for now since there are no pit files available to repartition the phone.

Sent from my GT-I8160 running Holo Bean
[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
I was just thinking if there was a way of making a new directory on the /mnt path called 'storage' or something, we could have possibly modified vold.stab. So change where it says /sdcard to /storage and /sdcard/external_sd to /sdcard. I'm not sure if that would work but again, I don't think that another new directory can be created in /mnt without a .pit file.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
actually there are 3 mount points inside the vold.fstab file. 1) /mnt/sdcard 2)/mnt/external_sd 3)/mnt/usbstorage (i think, i forgot..)

the third is supposed to be used for USB OTG function but for now it remains undefined. I do not know anything about modifying this file so I guess I'll leave it to the experts, ask around and see what turns up.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
I just checked the vold.fstab and I think the mount point is mnt/sdcard/external_sd and not mnt/external_sd if I am interpreting the data correctly.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Yeah youre right.. I guess working on my jelly bean theme made my brain forgetful. :D

Also, read the threads for the roms. A few of them have battery drain issues that have been extensively documented within the threads. There are several posts saying "don't use build xxxxx use build yyyyy instead". For me, battery life has been pretty good using PAC that I built myself.

[Defy General] xlinulx:
The first thing you probably did after rooting your Defy Mini was removing some factory apps like Cardio Trainer, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and others...

Now I'll give you some tweaks you can apply to your Defy Mini to improve performance and make it more "usable", so let's start.

1) Get more CPU/GPU performance

-add the following lines to your buld.prop file ubicated in "/system/build.prop" (Mount partition as r/w) (using Root Explorer is the easiest way)

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=400

debug.performance.tuning=1

debug.sf.hw=1

2) Setting interface rendering to Hardware (using gpu to draw interface)

-find the file "egl.cfg" ubicated in "/system/lib/egl", remove everything written on it and copy this "0 1 adreno200", it should look just like this:

-In the same dir "/system/lib/egl" find the file "libGLES_android.so" to "libGLES_android.bak", it should look just like this:

-RESTART YOUR DEVICE-

Test it for yourself, now your device will be able to play 480p videos with smoothness (25 - 30fps) (Adobe Flash Player for ARMv7, gpu video rendering, 16bit per pixel)
[Defy General] housenova:
Do you know if these changes consume more battery?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
I don't know if I would call it a laptop replacement. The site didn't give enough details to make a decent guess

My guess, it would be what we see with the iDevice versions or something similar to ASUS Transormer Prime/Infinity Pads. What I think you're getting is just a device just brings an Android experience to a larger screen and nicer keyboard to use. I'm almost want to say it's just going to mirror your device display.

If you're familiar with Android and normal OSs for notebooks--Windows, OSX, various Linus distros--then you'll know they're not exactly the same. Android is very capable OS, but it has it's limits compared to other OS choices

That said, it could a good choice for someone, maybe a student, for two hundred dollars. A lot will depend on what you need to use.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] OwenW71:
Looks great to me. I'd be a buyer. Even better, they should make it with a space in the back that you can pop your device in... Just order the right spacers and it should fit snugly.

Wow, holy ****. I'd buy one in a heart beat.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] OwenW71:
Did some reading on the Interwebs, and my enthusiasm is dampened. It seems that Clamcase is not a reputable company, and their products are of awful quality with nonexistent support. The idea is a fantastic one, I'd daydreamed of something similar (with a backlit keyboard and a big user replaceable SSD), but these guys are worse than vapor-ware, apparently.

Swyped from the closest Galaxy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
disappointing to hear. I forget which company makes it, I think ASUS, where there is a smartphone and tablet combo. The phone actually goes into the tablet. This is similar except it's a laptop and USB cable or cradle.

It definitely could be useful for some.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] John Kotches:
It is Asus, and it is called the padfone.

It ain't cheap (750 or so if memory serves) and I don't know that is available in the US.

What about the Motorola Lapdock, would it work with GN2?

Nope. Lapdock has two connections, one hdmi, the other usb.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rEVOLVE:
I use to use something like this for Windows Mobile called a Redfly that was more like a netbook size. This would still make sense to me except my Series 9 Ultrabook is already a better option and as thin and light as i need it to be.

The main thing missing for me in Android/iOS is the multi-window support, but if a product like this would come out and still support multi-window like the Note 2 does, it would be a good solution for not having a super light/thin but expensive ultrabook.

I've got a lapdock and may get the Mhl cable to see if I can get it to work. The lapdock is just use and hdmi.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
unless both devices have MHL built into them, you'll need to get a MHL adapter.

I had no idea if the PadFone is available in the US either. I just remember the device existing and it's what device reminded me of. It's nice idea since most people are getting and using various smartphones. Why not trying to combine with something to be more robusts. I just see, as of right now, being limited because of the Android OS itself and how to apps designed and written. No mobile office suite compares to features and use to a desktop counterpart. Although, given the costs, it can me a nice alternative.

Personally, I would just get an older laptop if to fit the need. Other than maybe a need for bigger screen, I would just use a portable keyboard and stand for the phone and call it good. Not that I would recommend for writing a paper for school. I hold that statement for tablets too.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
it looks like they'll be making docks for specific phones, so I imagine the note 2's dock will be the correct one. i'm guessing they'd also make a generic interface for non-so-popular phones, perhaps cable-only. In which case you can use the 11-5pin converter that Samsung sells.

i wonder how the keyboard/trackpad works. i'm guessing bluetooth?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barry99705:
MHL can do hdmi and usb at the same time.

I feel you. It's become an addiction for me too. Or rather an obsession. I started missing lectures, sleeping in class, staying up all night, flashing a rom near 20 times trying to get everything right. You forgot about kernel bro. Kernel is just as important as the ROM. Try jader's ultimate hd. Check out my signature. Or even jelly sandwich by maxio. Or even the old aokp ics final release and also cm9 by fxp. Optimax is good too. If your looking for gb roms try arconium 8 if I'm not mistaken. Just search for it. Or x-gamer. Haven't tried atomic gb you're welcome to try it. If for jb roms. CAMP by zackconsole has everything. It's totally pimp. Or aokp jb or cm10. I don't recommend jb although it has lots more features. I still don't trust it because it's still not stable yet.

Just flash all of it to see which one you like. Then only your obsession will be cured :cool:

Or. You could learn how to make your own rom and kernel which I plan to do after my exams.
