Looking for some help with the modification of the kernel from the Sero 7 Pro

Below is the kernel stock values to show location of sdcard and external sd card

on init
mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated 0700 shell shell
mkdir /storage/emulated 0555 root root
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0555 root root

export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy
export EMULATED_STORAGE_SOURCE /mnt/shell/emulated
export EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET /storage/emulated

# Support legacy paths
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/sdcard0
symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /sdcard2
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2

I would like to swap storage locations. Anyone want to assist? Post your edits I will compile, flash and post results.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] angellsl:
Could you please try this?

symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /sdcard2

symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /mnt/sdcard2

symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/sdcard0

symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy

symlink /storage/sdcard1 /sdcard

symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xboxexpert:
I did that and then flashed yet it had no effect on the storage of the device. Still the same.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] angellsl:
Thanks!

It seems that Sero 7 Pro uses emulation in init.m470.rc to mount the internal storage at /mnt/shell/emulated (line 341)

And it uses /etc/vold.fstab to mount the external storage (SD card) at /storage/sdcard1

Here is a link for Android storage management http://source.android.com/tech/storage/

I think it's feasible to remove the emulation at init.m470.rc and put both internal/external mounting in /etc/vold.fstab (to make the internal storage mounted at /sdcard2 while SD card mounted at internal (/sdcard) ), but we have to make sure the symlinks are updated accordingly.

Or, we can also keep the emulation at line 341, but mount it at /storage/sdcard1.

I don't know how to build the rootfs yet. So I didn't try...

Hope it helps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xboxexpert:
You could edit the file accordingly and if you want to send it over I'll recompile and flash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] angellsl:
I was able to enable init.d first, and then I can swap the cards using the same trick I did for my note 2. But the storage in settings cannot see the change:(. The emulated internal storage on sero 7 has a slight different file hierarchy, probably because of the android version difference (4.1.2 vs 4.2.1)? I felt I'm almost there, just not sure what labels/mounts the storage in settings reads (/sdcard? others?)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xboxexpert:
Storage and settings is controlled by the vold.fstab in /system/etc I think.

Hey guys,

I was searching for a tool to edit an apk file and i found Apk Tool on xda but i think it's not

that much easy to work with this program. (for a n00b, like me.. :p )

I managed to open and edit te file with winRAR,

but is this program also capable of proper compiling the app again, ready to use?

I tried it and it worked well i think, but is this possible with any app or other kinds of changes?

If this is stupid or something, please tell me. I am not very experienced in these kinds of things.. (neither in english, sorry.. :p )

Somebody any ideas?

Thanks in advance! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
It all depends on what you edit,obviously you didnt make a fatal change,so it must have been small,no its not possible to edit anything else as far as the manifest and xml files.You'll get a parsing error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bart1996:
Okay, that's true i only changed those kinds of files and it wasn't a problem yet.

I changed somethings in an demo version of an app and now it recognizes it as the full version so winRAR can be pretty usefull for apk edit if you keep things simple like this..

if yes, then it should work well, no problem at all, if there is still a problem with nfc, tell me which root method did you used?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:

the easiest way, anyway, is to delete that folder in /Data , that solves the problem :)

but that's weird, because bin4ry method automatically repairs NFC issue...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alanc.1996:
i had rooted it with v26 and since then it stopped working!

Now i updated to build 9.1.B.1.67 and lost root but nfc still not working!

If i flash 9.1.B.0.411 and root via binarys method will it work?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
Reflash the new ROM, sometimes it is needed for NFC to have the ROM flashed twice :)

.67 is not rootable at the moment, but if you have unlocked bootloader, you can root it using DoomLord's kernel :)

and, the last thing, if you still have the issue with NFC, even if you reflash the firmware, then go to this directory and delete the folder named "USF"

go here: /Data and then delete that folder i mentioned :)

i will work for sure :)

good luck bro <3

Hey guys.. :)

I have a question which i can't seem to find anywhere else on the forums.. I've searched Google and XDA but i have had no luck what so ever.. :(

I've tried the recovery guides here, but they don't work (Odin guide)..

Let's cut to the point.. I have this S3 Mini ( or a friend of mine ) which is passcode locked.. KIES doesn't help me at all, and so doesn't Samsung own HP...

So far i've learned that all the stuff you need to to requires turning on dev mode on the phone.. ( 3 button press etc etc ) i can't even enter debugging mode due to that stupid passcode lock..

If anyone can help me make a hard reset / recovery, that'll surely make my day a loooot better :)

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shobhitk:
Hi everyone,

i have a brand new galaxy grand which has not been used yet. i had only rooted it as per chotu's method and everything was fine. today i realised that the rear speaker was not functional. by that i mean that i dont get ANY sounds even during boot-up or during shutdown. absolutely no system sounds or anything from the rear speakers. however if i plug in a headphone i can hear everything normally from the headphones. but when i remove them theres no sound. yes the earpiece is working...but there also when i switch to speaker phone during a call there is absolutely no sound.

as i said i had only rooted it as per chotu's method and everything was fine. then i received the official firmware update a few days back from samsung ie. AMCD. after which i lost root...no issues with that. however at this point i realised that there was an issue with the rear speaker. i have done almost everything described on this forum, like wiped cache etc, factory reset, removing battery for 10 mins, slightly pressing the battery to check if theres a lose connection, even flashed stock rom (AMCD) from sammobile...but to no avail.

checklist:

1. all sound levels to max.

2. phone not on vibrate or mute mode.

3. phone does not think that theres a headphone plugged in, otherwise there should have been a headphone icon in the notifications bar.

completely confused. what could happen to a few days old galaxy grand ?? guys pls help.

Thanks

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jspex:
Well I've had my Kindle since Jan 2012 and have been flashing since day one. I have run into a problem recently, I can not connect to my computer (vista 64bit) over usb. I have searched and tried removing and reinstalling drivers, restarting the device while connected and with kfu starting it into normalboot even though it's not recognized among other things. This hasn't been a problem but just since updateing the "blaze" flash able twrp update and the fff update I have run into a ton of problems. I can't flash gapps of any kind unless they are pre installed on a rom and at the end of every flash I get an error stating mount:can not partition volume "/". I figured I could/should use the hellfire cleaner to start from a clean system but that errors and asks me if I am trying to brick my device and aborts.

So now that I'm here (here being limited to select rom/gapps bundles and no way to enter adb) what can I do? I would like to be able to flash to anything that would let me connect to the kfu but at this point I'm pretty lost. Any and all advice would be great. Also to those that are going to automatically post to "search" let me assure you I have, for days, here and Google as well as a few other Android forms and have watched more YouTube videos than I can count. Between information over load and a lack of understanding on my end (yes, I'm a Noob and we all know it) I have hit the point that I can not figure this out on my own with searches.
