increasing space help

My PC power supply died and I need to replace it. This explanation is being done on my tablet, will try my best to explain.

For starters, the master boot record (MBR) needs no changes. This is for the android system. The extended boot record (EBR) is for user data and cache.

The cache, those are the first two numbers this can be left alone, you can also add or subtract from that if you want more or less cache. That is optional.

You want to add to the two set of numbers, again please refer to my blog. Also mentioned is making sure that the start and end sectors. Let's say the end of partition two is 7000, the start of sector three has to be 7001. When you add to the second and third two set of numbers the third partition is going to decrease, that is the 2TB sector.

Again, unlike the mtk6582 and others, there is no subtracting, just adding. You don't have to make changes to the last two numbers at the end of the EBR, 2TB partition, the two numbers between the 55 ## ## 55 BUT if you don't be prepared to reinstall your system. If you do make that number the same as your original EBR then all you need to do is load the ebr and everything will stay as is. The only change is more use data.

Check that number doing the command:

sudo gdisk ebr

The last partition should be the same number after the hack. This is done by making sure the start of partition three is one number higher then end sector of partition two.

There are four sets of numbers the first two are for the cache, the second and third is for user data. The last set controls the extended external storage. That can be any size but the preloaded idendifies that size. The 2tb is best left as 2tb, like I said, you can leave it but as you increase the user data it will decrease forcing you to reinstall everything.

If you want, go to the EBR and add one number to the second and third set, the first number. So if set one is 00 10 change the 00 to 01 and for set two if the number is C6 12, take a calculator and add 1 to c6, works in google search, then change the c6. Go back to terminal and type gdisk ebr. You will see that it increased. Also notice that the last partition decreased, that is the tricky part.

On my blog look for the instructions for changing that value back to the original.

I hope I'm posting this in the right sub section. I purchased a FireTV last week at BB and rooted and blocked the updates via the guid on Aftvnews.

I grabbed another FTV today for a family member and I'm unable to get anywhere. After configuring network it goes on the the checking for updates but instead of just going past it (

) I get an "Unable to update your Amazon Fire TV. Try disconnecting the powercable for a few seconds and then plugging it back in.

Is this unit already updated and I'm not going to be able to root? Thanks in advance for the help!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Obviously unblock the update in your router and do the initial setup while making sure to follow the guide's prompts to disconnect your internet when updates might happen.

Leave your internet disconnected (router unplugged/ethernet unhooked) until the network settings are needed.

When you need to configure the Fire TV's internet,connect it until you are done configuring,and quickly disconnect it when the check for updates happens.

Hi,

I have worked with Head Mounted Displays for years but the recent increase in capabilities of phones (fullHD/QuadHD screens, GPU capabilities) now means a simple rig such as google cardboard or the durovis dive (to name the popular ones) can put a cheap alternative to these devices in the hands of anyone.

I was wondering what the people at XDA thought about creating a forum/sub-forums for all things related to using a device like this? I would like to see the following sub-forums:

General info - info on using devices like this, Introductions to HMD's for the uninitiated.

hardware - resources for buying/building your own device

development/hacking - creating/modifying software/ROMS that work this way.

I think a presence on XDA would be a great thing, some of the talent we have around here could do amazing things in this field.

What do you guys think?

[General Questions and Answers] Jamie3213:
Hi,

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from my girlfriend which was locked to T-Mobile (it had been a contract phone). My contract is on Orange so I flashed an insecure kernel in Odin and used Samsung Quick Root to root the phone. I booted it up and managed to unlock (though i'm now not sure if this was a full unlock or some kind of soft-unlock, I don't know if that's even a thing - I used an app called "Galaxy S Unlock"). Anyway I tried sending a text just to make sure and it was fine. I decided to install CyanogenMod (latest version on the website), I did and all was fine. Then I was prompted to update on my phone so I did, halfway through it crashed and - being an idiot - I turned off the phone. After that I could only get as far as the Samsung logo when trying to boot and after that it would return to a black screen.

I did some Googling and decided to flash back to a stock ROM which worked and the phone booted fine. Now however, the phone asks me for the SIM unlock code (making me think this was a soft-unlock) yet I still get bars of signal but if I try to text or call I get the "Not Registered on Network" error. I've tried adding Orange's APN manually but it won't save, everytime I press save and go back into the APN it's blank. I've also tried to select the network using the "Select automatically" as well as trying both Orange and T-Mobile in the network options and simply get an "Unable to connect. Try Later" error. I've also tried to update through the phone and it says it's upto date. I'm currently running Android 4.1.2. The Baseand Version is I9100BVLS4 and the Kernel Version is 3.0.31-889555 with Build Number JZO54K.I9100XWLSY.

Could anyone give me any advice as to what to do? Thanks!

The Galaxy S unlocker mods the EFS folder and putting it back to stock might have messed up something. I would re-root and re-do the unlock. hope you have a copy of the original EFS partition before you started or that the app made a backup for you in case...

The Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 are both old business now; you would probably have a very different experience with any flagship from 2013 or 2014, which for the most part all have more than sufficient hardware. However, if you want to wait for the latest and greatest, there will probably be word of the next Nexus sometime within the next couple months.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil77560:
Hello,

After changing the screen of my moto G, the new one is no longer stuck and is moving.... I had to remove the original glue (tape?) with an hair dryer.

My question is : with what I then paste the screen?

thanks a lot
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
This is a very annoying problem of the chinese displays that come with a frame or pre-applied tape.

The display+lcd assembly is too heavy to be held by any normal 2-sided tape (3M 300LSE for example).

After hours of checking how the original thing was made it turned out that it has a rubber-like gasket that is glued to the frame, which acts as bonding surface for the 2nd glue used to hold the digitizer to the frame.

These are all my own findings, sadly no pne is discussing this problem anywhere or at least I didn't find any.

I've used a transparent epoxy (65-70% resin ~30-35% oxidizer so the compound hardens slower).Use a wooden tooth pick to apply the glue on the frame, don't put to much of it, just a hair-thin line.

Put the screen on and press it well and be ready to clean off any glue that may come out of the edges. The epoxy is easy to clean until it's set, use isopropyl alcohol 99% or some dry contact cleaner with a cotton cloth or kitchen paper.

The drawback of using epoxy is once it's set, you won't be able to remove the screen from the frame by any viable means.This is not a problem tho, since you can buy the whole assembly, should you need to replace the screen again.

Good luck.

same issue

Hi,

Thank you very much for having shared your experience with us :).

I have exactly the same issue with my Moto G and I've finally found a way out thanks to you. I would try this but I'm afraid of doing it bad. Should I apply the glue exactly in the border of the display? Do you happen to have any video showing it in detail?

Have a nice day
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
Hello,

You should apply the glue in the frame, as close as possible to the outer rim and spread it as much as possible on the thin inner lining where the plastic of the frame and the glass make contact.

You can also use universal transparent glue, like JIP or Henkel... etc.These glues are a bit more liquidish and it takes more time to set properly, but they are also more flexible and you can also remove the display with heat, should you have the need to .

Sorry no videos available on this, but with a little effort and reading you'll be fine.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabba_the_hut:
liveroy's advice is great. I've followed it with success, although the screen I bought has the dreaded phantom touch issue (cheap ebay job!) and will have to go back (this issue was apparent even before I glued it to the mid-frame).

Firstly I separated the screen from the mid-frame with two small suction cups, designed for removing halogen light bulbs, on the top and bottom of the glass. This worked well, but I had to use very gentle tugs to ensure I didn't tear the ribbon cable. Because the double-sided tape used was already separating, this was quite an easy part of the job.

I used Araldite 2-Tubes Standard Epoxy, because it has a very long cure time, which allowed me to work slowly. With the screen and mid-frame completely separate and cleaned up, I then threaded the screen's ribbon cable through the hole before glueing. The trickiest bit was putting the epoxy along the frame where the ribbon cable is; to do this I just wedged some folded paper between frame and screen while I layed down the epoxy. I guess I could have just done this bit first and avoided the need for a paper wedge (this was used to prevent prematurely sticking the screen to the frame before all the epoxy's down).

I used the screen's plastic film to protect the screen from the epoxy, and cleaned the excess epoxy with an old bottle of disk head cleaner I found lying about (smelt very alcoholly!) and cotton buds. I used some clothes pegs to clamp the screen to the frame, but I took them off after a few hours. Then I left it for a couple of days. The result was as good as I could have hoped for. I can see a little bit of the dried epoxy in the very narrow trenches between the mid-frame and glass, but this doesn't bother me. Way better than having light streaming through the sides, and it seems like a really solid grip! When in use and getting warm I could still see a bit of lift at the sides, but because it was glued there was absolutely no gap.

Going back to the original need for this fix -

On my phone I believe this is due to a warped, concave logic board, effectively peeling the glass away from the mid-frame when fitted. If it were totally flat then I doubt this would happen. I guess the aftermarket screen manufacturers didn't factor this in when they decided to use "weak" double-sided tape. I've also noticed that, with the new screen in place, the outer back shell of the phone, that you put on last, doesn't quite fit at the bottom like with the old screen - there is now a small a gap where the inner plastic housing is exposed. I think this is because the new mid-frame is straighter than the old, and the old shell has itself bent over time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
But you're saying it does work with the original Samsung 3.0 USB cable? Then that would mean the phone doesn't like the other cord for some reason. Samsungs can be picky like that sometimes. Check the Device Manager for driver errors and try other ports, cords, and computers to make sure it's not a new issue with the phone's USB charge port.

So I unpacked it and then went to ramdsik-contents->res->images and replaced the icon_clockwork.png with desired file and repacked it using kitchen without receiving any errors.

After that I flashed it and rebooted the phone. Phone after showing Karbonn (splash screen) screen goes into a black screen and is stuck there :( :crying:

I didn't do anything else, didn't change any values just the .png's and flashed.
