[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ChaoticDruid:
Umm, I just got my first cell phone, a LG C2000 about 3 months ago, and have yet to get a TyTN, all I know is before I spend $750 on a device, I read reviews and such, and the first review I read something about ROM's, and well I didnt know about ROM's, but a very easy search on google led me to the answer, and what do you know...during my research, I came across many forums with "must have" software for the TyTN, I'm not out to flame people..but when someone apparently has not even helped themselves at all, I just cant always keep my mouth shut.

It's like this dude bought a TyTN cause it looked cool, showed it off to his friends for a few weeks, and now wants to know how to use it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
I read PLENTY of reviews....even saw the mobilitytoday.com podcast about it...it was such reviews that drew my attention to it in the first place. I was going for the P990i. Dont tar people with the newbie brush when all they ask is a simple set of questions! Im sure there are only a minority (when compared to the size of the userbase) of people who actually know anything about ROMs and upgrading. How many O2 customers have an XDA and arent aware of what ROMs do/are....MANY im sure.

Im just sorry my first post became the bait of a flameboy..........rant over

mrvanx - On behlaf of PPC users everywhere, welcome to the show. There are a lot of useful forums out there and plenty of people willing to help out without judgement or frivilous flaming. Anyway, have you gotten your TyTN to make video calls yet? Here in the US, Cingular doesn't support this feature so I haven't been able to use it. Just wondering.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Yer ive only made one video call so far as not many people i know have a 3G handset, unfortunatly it wasnt cross network so im yet to see if the networks here in the UK (T-Mobile, Vodefone, 3, Orange and O2) are cooperating with eachother...(MMS wasnt FULLY cross network until about a year into it!!!!)

The person in question has a clamshell-type Samsung handset and the video quality between was brilliant! My UMTS reception is patchy here in York but it was fine. Ended up getting cut off as the other person lost thier UMTS. As said above this was a video call O2 to O2 so couldnt comment on other networks just yet.

Speedwise my UMTS connection has been as high as 944kbps when tested on bandwidthplace.com which i thought was astonishing!!! :D

When im out of range for 3G it just reverts back to standard GSM and GPRS.

P.S: Thanks for the encouraging words.

Reception of TyTN vs Wizard

Hi folks,

Any other input on the reception of the TyTN and it's variants (8525)? I've got myself a KJAM and an 8125 and I have horrible reception at home. Even did the antenna hack - it adds a little, but still spotty.

I'd like to upgrade to the 8525 for 3G and increased processing power, but the cost isn't worth it for me if the reception is still as bad as the Wizard/KJAM/8125.

Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cornbreadfarts:
Freeze SDM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Using Titanium Backup, you can "freeze" applications, which keeps them from running. The software update application is called SDM.

So, open Titanium, search for "SDM", the click on "Freeze!". It won't run any longer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cornbreadfarts:
Thanks.

I have installed safestrap and downloaded the module for the MK2 build. It then says to flash the modules file..how do I do that if I cant boot into recovery mode? I assume this is why safestrap is telling me I'm not rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You flash the modules file AFTER you flash a custom ROM into a ROM slot. How did you manage to flash into a ROM slot if you can't get into Safestrap recovery?

If installing Safestrap fails and tells you you're not rooted, then either you're not rooted, or you still have Knox enabled. You'll need to be rooted before you can do any of this, so start there. See the Saferoot thread.

Howdy

I have an LG G2 and would like to take a picture/video with the camera and have it save to the otg usb instead of internal memory.

Tried google but not much joy. I would like to use the default camera app as it can do 4k video but a third party app will do for pics.

Any help appreciated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shikhar623:
it depends whether ur Camera app allows you to save pics to ANY location. I expect you are on stock hence it depends upon it ROM.

If the destination directory for captured images is still hardcoded in the Camera app in this manner, your options are pretty limited:

1. Hack the operating system so that Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory

returns the physical SD Card path (thereby redirecting other data to the card,

too) without breaking anything

2. Write a new camera app that gives you the option of where to save

3. Download a camera app from the Market that gives you the option of where to

save

Option 3 sounds a little easier.

after searching a bit I stumbled upon this u should consider asking your question here. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2298852

Thanks for the advice.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukelai:
CAMERAOTG may satisfy your request.

You may able to try this APP, The video will be saving to USB OTG directly , if you plug in

Sometimes you don't plug in OTG disk , the video will be saved in internal memory automatically.

from description , the first priority is USB OTG rather than Internal memory.

I might be a bit late, but i managed to record directly to otg usb flash drive with Chainfire's "Stickmount" app and with Cinema FV-5. Stickmount creates a mount folder in the phones sdcard folder and in Cinema FV-5 you can set the destination folder to be the mounted usb folder. Sounds complicated but its really easy :p

in ADB, add "adb" before the commands

if you want not to display the output in terminal, specify the path :

command > /where_you_want_your_output_to_be_stored/name_you_want_for_the_log

to know if KSM is really turned on : KSM means Kernel Samepage Merging, may not exist on Moto E stock or custom roms

cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

to know what modules are running :

lsmod

install an app from terminal :

pm install /sdcard/app1.apk

from adb :

adb install /home/user/app1.apk

(if your .apk is located there :p)

your kernel crashed?

cat /proc/last_kmsg

ex : from adb, and stored in /home/user/last_kmsg1

adb cat /proc/last_kmsg > /home/user/last_kmsg1

an app crashed, you want to know why?

logcat

ex : from adb and stored in /home/user/myfirstlogever

adb logcat > /home/user/myfirstlogever

don't have an USB cable ?

or adb "other the air" :

connect to your home wifi network (both device and pc)

in settings/dev options/ enable adb on TCP/IP

adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555

(the IP is the one displayed in the option you choose previously :)

and then, since it is connected, catch the log :

adb logcat > /home/user/myfirstlogever

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TacTieTee:
Hello guys

I switched to moto e from a phone which had a pretty versatile memory system in which i could transfer apps to sd card and use link2sd to partition sd card and use it as internal memory.

in moto e moving the preinstalled apps like maps and music and chrome etc through link2sd causes them to FC.

apart from that i cannot move my whatsapp data to SD card even if i transfer the actual app to sd card partition through link2sd. also, apps do not catch their data from the sd card. everything should be on the internal memory to work and that forces me to not install apps. my whatsapp has important databases which cannot be deleted and they take up 700+MB of internal SD space which cannot be freed to the ext SD since whatsapp doesnt restore from ext card. what to do???
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Thats how KK is designed. App should store their data on internal memory. Sdcard is treated as another partition. Apparently,this is so that on uninstall there's no residual data.

To change that, you need root.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deej_roamer:
There are confirmed rooting methods here and here!​
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TacTieTee:
my device is already rooted guys. trying to keep data in ext but app does not recognise tht data. for example my whatsapp - it only recognises data on internal. and it takes up anywhere between 1 GB to 1.5 GB...even if i mnage to shiftthe app to the ntfs partition through link2sd which i already have, i cant keep the data in ext since itdoesnt recognise
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
That needs modification at system level. As I said it is in the design of the OS.

Best bet for now is to wait for Custom ROMs.

[Nook Color Android Development] rootfan:
Welcome to nookie cloner. This app makes a fully bootable sdcard copy of your on device ROM in a single click. For example, you may still be using CyanogenMod 7 as your nook colors default ROM and would like to test out the latest kit kat/ CyanogenMod 11 nightly. With this app you could make a fully bootable sdcard backup of CyanogenMod 7 with all of your data and apps and then install CyanogenMod 11. You would then effectively have a dual boot of cm 11 along with your old cm 7 install including all data and apps. It also works in reverse so the contents of a bootable sdcard can be flashed back as your main ROM. As far as I have tested this app should work for all nook color ROMs, even stock. Bellow information on the way this app formats sdcards can be found. I'm in the process of making changes specified by Steven676. In the meantime this app is still completely functional. If you find it useful or appreciate my work then please give the thanks button a press;)

Download Nookie Cloner alpha 1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46535328/Nookiecloner-A1.apk

Info:

Partition layout:

mmcblk1p1 - boot / fat32 size: 100 MB

mmcblk1p2 - system / ext4 size: 500 MB

mmcblk1p3 - data / ext4 size: 1000 MB

mmcblk1p4 - extended partition

mmcblk1p5 - cache / ext4 size: 400 MB

mmcblk1p6 - sdcard storage / fat32 size: whatever is leftover

Current bugs that I'm working to fix:

When the stock ROM is booted from an sdcard it doesn't mount the right fat partition so you only get 100 mb of external storage

Thanks:

Fattire - for the original idea.

racks11479 - For some essential ARM tools used in the process.

Disclaimer: I can not be held responsible for any "bad" things that happen to your nook, data, etc... because you choose to use this app on your device. To your comfort though, I have used this app for a while and have not experienced any serious implosions or explosions as of yet;)
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
Cool, thanks for picking up this idea and running with it!

Is source available somewhere?

This isn't a good partition layout, though -- both /system and /data are too small for future-proofing. I'd suggest at least 640 MB for /system (for the pending eMMC repartitioning, we're kicking around 768 MB) and 2 GB for /data. For performance reasons, you also want all the partitions (except for /boot, which is fixed in place because of first-stage bootloader limitations) to start on a 4MB boundary, though you may need to fiddle a bit with your tools to achieve this.

See the discussion on eMMC repartitioning in the dev thread beginning here for more information, particularly the bits on units and extended partition packing.

Also, you do not need a cache partition on SD card -- the ROMs and recoveries will not use it.

Honestly, the original idea was to only do this with install-location-agnostic builds (like CM11 builds from May 16 or later) -- with these, the ROM automatically figures out where everything is and you don't need to fiddle with the initramfs. If you are going to support modifying earlier builds to change the install location, please detect install-location-agnostic builds and leave them untouched.
[Nook Color Android Development] rootfan:
Thanks for the advice Steven. I'll try to get your suggestions implemented soon as possible. The way the app currently functions allows for the creation of bootable sdcards as far back as the stock froyo ROM. My noted bug is simply that the fat partition at mmcblk1p6 is not mounted properly. The sdcard is eaither not mounted at all (my fault) or the boot partition is mounted as the external sdcard. Perhaps it would simply be better to expand the boot partition for use as sd storage. I'll still modify it though so the new partition agnostic ROMS are not changed.
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
Look at /system/etc/vold.fstab (releases older than 4.3) or fstab.encore in the initramfs (4.3+); you can specify which partition of the SD card to use there.

Thanks

Do you think the battery will blast, because its 12% now and the voltages are 4200mV , i never reached to that limit
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imapanther:
LiPo battery discharge curve

Cellphones these days use a type of battery called a lithium polymer battery, often abbreviated LiPo. These batteries have a "nominal cell voltage" of 3.7 V, or 3,700 mV (though some newer phones have batteries with higher nominal cell voltages, like 3.85 V). This voltage, from what I understand, is the average voltage which the chemicals in the battery would produce. However, when fully charged a LiPo cell will briefly hit anywhere from 4.15 V (4,150 mV) to 4.30 V (4,300 mV), depending on the battery and the charging circuit which charges the battery. This is perfectly normal for LiPo batteries.

In other words (and to repeat what pico hackr said above), just charge your phone. The built-in charging circuits and safety cutoffs will charge your battery properly and yet shut off if something goes wrong. If you really want to make sure it doesn't blow up, take off the back cover of your Moto G and watch the battery for any signs of swelling. LiPo batteries will swell up (just like a balloon about to pop) before actually exploding. If it does begin to swell, unplug it immediately, don't put the back cover on it, and put it somewhere safe where it could blow up and catch fire without harming anything. Though extremely rare, cellphone batteries do occasionally explode and if yours does, such an event would definitely be covered by Motorola's warranty.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhumik147:

I charged the battery at bootloader( without turning on the phone) upto 22% , then on observation , the voltages were reached upto 4300 mV ,so i just turned off the phone and rebooted many times.
