[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
I came across http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s3-fault-is-caused-by-sandisk-memory-cards-50010684/ yesterday, documenting the Samsung GS4 killing SD cards from various manufacturers. No idea of the classes of SD cards affected, but I wonder if this is a deeper problem in the kernels used by various Android devices?

I've always worked on the assumption that if a device specifies it works with class X SD cards, then it'll work at least as well with Class >X SD cards, even if it doesn't get the maximum performance the SD card permits. Consequently, I've always bought the biggest, fastest economic choice with a view to it remaining useful for longer (e.g. for future devices). I'm revising that view.
[Nook Touch General] jumpingclear:
Interesting to see this thread. I just bought a Nook touch and was looking into what card to by. In the UK now it seems that the choice is between class 4 and 10. I have seen posts recommending class 6 for the nook and had assumed that class 10 would also be ok. Would it be better to stick with a class 4? I only plan to use my nook as a reader so I can't see why it would need a fast card tbh.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I wouldn't have got mixed up with Class 10 either except for doing 24 bit stereo recording.

I find that my old class 4 does fine with the ALSA buffer configured correctly.

A more important point I find is getting rid of FAT on SD cards if you rely on timestamps at all.

(I use adbsync.exe for syncing and it uses timestamps).

The Nook's implementation of FAT is screwy and rewrites file timestamps in different timezones.

Check out vold and ext3 if you care about any of this.
[Nook Touch General] Gabboxxx:
I have a samsung sd card 10 32 gb

If u tell me how, i can post my dsmeg if help u
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
To see the dmesg, just type "dmesg" to an ADB shell.

I don't think we'll learn anything new from your log,

but you can see if your Class 10 is having problems.

The error message will be the same as at the top of this thread.
[Nook Touch General] jumpingclear:
Thanks for the reply. I have a 16GB class 4 in my phone so I may put that in the nook and get a new one for the phone.

I am only planning to use the nook as a reader but I am a linux user so I know what ext is and it is no problem for me to format the card as ext3. Are there any drawbacks to using ext3 instead of fat?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There are no disadvantages to having your SD card in ext3,

that is, except for the fact that the Nook volume daemon won't mount them. :p

See the thread on the replacement vold: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2184495
[Nook Touch General] jumpingclear:
Had a quick look at the thread and think I will steer clear :) When you mentioned ext3 I thought as it is based on linux android would be able to use ext but I think for my basic needs I will stick to fat.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
FYI, latuk has built a kernel including this fix (along with FastScreen & MultiTouch & UsbHost & UsbToCom & UsbSound. The module cdc-acm is included to make ttyACM0 for GSP Holux M-1000C). It's linked from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43797159&postcount=172. I've installed it on my Nook and it booted. I'm testing it now.
[Nook Touch General] gwpurnell:
There seems to be an assumption that faster SD cards are automatically better; that may not always be the case. Some research suggests that faster cards are better for sequential read/write - i.e. when working with large files such as digital images. They may be the best card to use for digital cameras for this reason.

Random access read/write, e.g running an OS and randomly accessing small and dispersed files, may work better on nominally slower cards. This is mentioned on a Wikipedia page about Secure Digital cards. As a new user, I can't post outside links so you'll have to Google it.

A relevant paragraph from the Wikipedia page is:

The 'one study' the above paragraph refers to is available as a PDF document from the page I've mentioned above (but can't link to).
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
FYI, I told latuk about this thread, and he included the patch in his kernel, which I'm now using on my NST.

At first I thought it was helping, but it seems that apps running on the NST that write to the sdcard (I my case, a SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10/UHS-I) still cause it to become forcibly unmounted (with consequent filesystem corruption; typically bad VFAT short file names).

EDIT:The bad VFAT short file names seem to be "normal" for any writes performed by the Nook. But the class 6 doesn't seem to get forcibly disconnected like my class 10 did.
[Nook Touch General] idoit:
It seems, those with NST Glowlight, should buy class 6 for now and avoid class 10, right?

Asking because I'm looking for 64GB MicroSD and all I find are class 10! :(
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
I think so, yes.
[Nook Touch General] idoit:
Now, I want to know how you guys manage to get 64GB class 6 MicroSDs? I'm looking everywhere, Amazon, eBay etc. No success. They are like this link, not available. See: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/836207-REG/

EDIT: Ahhh, I think I finally found one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sandisk-micro-sdxc-mobile-ultra-64gb-class-6-galaxy-s2-s3-s4-Note-2-3-Tab-7-0-/181254295668?pt=US_Cellphone_Memory_Cards&hash=item2a33991074
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I use a 32GB class 6 card. TBH, it's plenty, even with the full text of Wikipedia and a bunch of other aard dictionaries.

Yup, SanDisk did used to make their 64GB SDXC as a class 6 device; I bought one for my SGS2 when their 64GB cards were just coming out, about Jan 2012. New stock is class 10. I'm not sure I'd trust eBay for memory cards, though; counterfeits are so common. I always buy my memory cards directly from reputable suppliers, preferably listed on the manufacturer's website.

Also, I'm not sure if a 64GB card will work with the NST (like it does with the SGS2, even though its specs state a maximum of 32GB).
[Nook Touch General] khseal:
At SanDisk lot of problems with the latest memory cards. I have a class 10 card works in Nook.

This is an awesome ROM. Looking at the scrren shots, I think I will dl the updated version. It looks really cool. Thanks for the hard work. GO NAVY. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Hey bud, ROM is not released yet. This is just an app I made to put into build-a-rom when I release, but I am sharing the app because if people check it out, they'll probably realize they want to bake it into their ROMs as well. Your feedback helped - made me realize that I needed to do this for what I'm putting together. Also, when I do release build-a-rom, you'll be able to keep your data and flash over the test build.

If you guys would want to include this app in your next deodexed ROM versions, go ahead and use it. Just give a link to this thread. I did theme this according to my own project, with the neon green on black. If you want, I can make a few versions themed to your colors. Specifically, where you see green on black in the app's landing page as well as the icon, I can make that whatever on whatever. Black on buttons and app icon could be transparent, but I do like my main background image in the app - it's a darkened screenshot from stock GB7 TW homescreen. Subtle, but pleasing because of the function of the app... but the neon green-on-black color scheme I could change for you easily enough. If you would like this, let me know your hex codes.

I'm going to wait to see whether I get some feedback to help decide if I should make a revision or if it's good out of the box. Fifty downloads so far, which surprises me for a little app on this thread. Either way, I can make a few versions themed for you... we are small in number in the ghostly E4GT forums... ;) And seriously, I've got this handset for another year. If you do not want to include it or don't like it - no offense - just offering/sharing. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Who's gonna be first? Just kidding, looks good.:thumbup:

Nice no more needle in a haystack search we like simplicity!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Very cool. It should be noted somehow that preload files will have to be dropped into system/app to prevent confusion because they will not run by themselves without a symlink. Two very nice apps in one day. This one and the repository app. :D

This can do so much more. You could host a ton of mods and other stuff with this thing too. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SPElectronics:
Very nice erikalin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Make another comment so we can thank you again, I keep checking back and nada... just gonna make an app and abandon the thread huh?:rolleyes::p jk I'm not stalking you or anything geez
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Lol. Kidding aside, I don't think I've ever done that in my life. Any job worth doing is worth doing well. I've been playing around with my build-a-rom project, which this is a part of. I hope to hear more feedback on this, make it better. Td - I will clarify the don't copy to preload thing. Good reminder which I will emphasize in v2, tyvm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Goddly:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Goddly:
woah. woah woah... ???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
It's all good, lol, but you are correct. Erika Lin = "erikalin"

Anyway...

Today in between doing my real work I've also been thinking about how to improve this thing. 90 downloads in one day? Of my little app? In our quiet little forum? I'm glad people are checking it out, so I'll do right by it. I have some initial ideas:

(1) Theme in a few different colors, build them and name them by color scheme. I'd be theming the font color, buttons, and the app icon's colors. Like I said, I do like my app background image so that's staying. Darkened screenshot of stock JB, it makes sense. If anyone says there's interest, I'll make a few different color schemes for v.2. Give hex #s if you want. Honestly, I'm not at a loss for how to spend my time, so if there's no interest I'm fine with my just using original color scheme. ;)

(2) Make sure to clarify push apps to system/app/. Thanks again, td, for reminding. I'll reword the main activity page's description and it will be clear.

(3) Verify that bluehost.com really means unlimited storage and bandwidth for my hosting accounts. I do have several websites on that account, and since I'm now using one of my extras for putting E4GT files on... I can't let it put my regular websites at risk. I will investigate though. If I can host more stuff legitimately with my account, I will consider suggestions for how I might add to this app. I am no expert in java, but can probably handle tabbed navigation, or swipe screens, to different purposes. I will think about this, and consider ideas. The beauty of it is that it will add almost nothing to the weight of the app itself, because all resources are accessed via browser, youtube, whatever. To be clear, I

do not

want to recreate bilgerryan's fine work with the one stop shop. That's not happening. If I expand on this it will be within parameters... Might just fine tune and keep it the simple app I intended it to be too.

(4) Who is downloading this thing? Lol. You 90+ people, please give me quick feedback. :good:

Edit

: I just saw this:

Lol... And Go Coast Guard, my sailor brother. Did we not have this conversation? Five armed forces in the U.S. Five. I get my 10% off at Lowe's like every other veteran. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Sorry shipmate. I could not hold back any longer. Sorry:D Now I need to play around with this some more. Some fine tunning. I am toying with trying the toolbox app. Would this work with "JV"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
You're playing around with the test build of my ROM, and putting in the apps that you want. Just my app here? It works for any deodexed stock GB27 TW ROM, of which JV is one. The app is essentially a file repo - all the stock ROM apps. You like the inverted and themed apps, so you probably wouldn't need this app of mine. It's just a way to get stock apps that are missing from any one custom ROM, without a developer having to keep a bunch of the stock apps in the ROM. Win win. I might add to this app somewhat, or I might make a second app with other ideas, both apps being made primarily for my build-a-rom project.

ROM Toolbox ("RTB") is, I think, one of the most valuable apps out there. It's good to use with any ROM and has a lot of useful features.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Goddly:
AGREED. RTB, one of my first app purchases...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Can't help myself. Plus, bil implied that I'm a slacker and I can't let that roll. ;) Made up version 1.1, uploaded to OP. Tiny changes. Mostly from tdunham's feedback to clarify wording on the app's main page that the apk files will go to system/app/ not preload/.../app/. I still can't believe it passed 100 downloads in less than a day. Who are you 100 people? I hope you'll reply on this thread with feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Repository app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Hopefully people who admire good hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Thanks, bud.

Yeah, check it out. rwilco12's repo - now in an app. :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
You aren't a slacker by any means... great work, TD is right, there are a LOT of possibilities with this.:thumbup: definitely gonna keep this thread in the bookmarks for when users ask where to get *insert stock app*.

Hey all. I wanted to share this with you guys. Thanks to Erikalin for asking me to test. It made me want to fiddle with the phone and search the forums more. My lock screen is my trophy. Hopefully one day I can make my own Rom. :thumbup::beer: for all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Happy for you, Mike. Thanks for the SS. That's the idea behind build-a-rom. It has just enough stuff left in it from stock to boot up and make a phone call. Is it a DD? Absolutely not, lol, but you can make it into yours. This app (in this thread) was made because it's going to be a part of build-a-rom - the quick access to put stock apps back in as desired. I am thinking about some details before I actually want to release it, mostly to do with the tutorial parts because on flashing build-a-rom, one is literally going to have nine icons in the app drawer - two of them are settings, two are needed for phone, and two will be mine... so basically it's all on you if you want to do anything other than make a phone call, and I think that's a good thing. I mean, you want inverted GApps? Just put them in, nothing to remove, and just put in whatever else you personally use. The tutorials ad the two apps that I will put into it are what are important to me to do well... Anyway, thanks again. I credited you in the OP for this app because of all your great feedback on the process you went through with build-a-rom. I'm glad you're happy with what you've got. :good:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
I'm going to put something up but I'll take input:

This reminds me to ask for suggestions. Thinking of space limitations, what would you guys suggest I note below downloads in terms of how much space one has in the system partition? I'll just have one sentence noting limitations and how to not exceed them. How would you word this caution if it were your file repo? Give me a sample sentence. Want to remind people that space is limited... That's why all this crap isn't still in there to begin with. Know what I mean? Ideas? One sentence warnings. Go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I don't know about others, but with the addition of my theme and mods, before debloating, I had 56kb of free space LOL

Maybe just a warning about seeing how much space is available before adding anything:beer:

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Lol.

Before installing, use Freespace to determine if you have sufficient room to install additional apps in the System Partition.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
No kidding. That is almost exactly what my rough draft says, even freespace. :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bbakes2012:
Thank you for making this :) unfortunately everytimr I open it, it fc's on me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Hmm. It's an extremely basic app... When you say you get a fc when you open it, do you mean that right when it first launches it immediately force closes? Or when you click a link? Either way, please download again, uninstall and reinstall. Total of just over 200 downloads for both versions and you are the first who's reported a force close. My only explanation is bad download, or it's not the app.

Hi folks,

Just to announce - I will be out of town (Kansas City) from June 1 - June 10. It's for pretty busy/hectic work, which is in addition to my normal workload for the summer, so I won't be available here during that time. Of course xda app is on my homescreen, but I will probably be too busy to use it. I take off tomorrow... I trust that others can respond on this thread if questions are posted, yes? I suspect questions would only arise if/when you include the app in your next builds anyway, since individual users are probably all set. I shall resume my work on build-a-rom, and supporting this app (including possibly expanding what it can offer) when I return... That is, if my irrational fear of tornadoes doesn't gain merit by me actually being swept up into the sky by a tornado, which would at the very least probably break my phone. Man, those tornadoes freak me out.

Cheers!

Use a real root explorer (like ROM Toolbox) to change permissions. I'm guessing you're using ES.

Nope, rom toolbox lite. Other apks worked, but it's not letting me change the Samsung app's permissions....
