[Fire TV General] tenderidol:
Thanks for your reply. Could you please provide the details of the adb mount method? Apologies, if it's a basic question... still new to AFTV.

I purchased a powered USB 2.0 hub to test things out. The connected USB sticks and the WD portable HD work great with the hub. Using StickMount, they're loaded at the time of boot, and when I pick Unmount to remove the WD HD, upon pulling the USB cable of the HD, USB sticks remain mounted (don't need to hit mount again).

With this particular powered hub FireTV boots fine when it's connected; seems like certain powered hubs block the boot sequence. I tried the boot sequence with just the USB sticks and USB sticks + WD HD, and it booted fine each time.

The only issue I have is that when I "map" the external drives, I give them names and they're listed under video sources. Unfortunately, StickMount doesn't load them in the same order every time, and the shortcuts point to invalid paths when there are more than one USB sources attached. I can create a root "USB" shortcut that lists all the sources and I can navigate to each drive, but that makes the process complicated for grandparents and kids. If there's a more "permanent" way to mount the attached drives (adb may be?), I'd like to try that.

Thanks!
[Fire TV General] jocala:
adbFire provides two different ways to mount your drives and sticks: standard, by device name (/dev/block/sda1, etc) and by the drive's UUID, a unique identifier that each drive stick is given when formatted. Mounting by UUID guarantees that each drive is always mounted at the same mount point.

adbFire creates a script that is automatically run at boot to mount your drives. It uses the busybox run-parts command to run scripts which it places in /etc/init.d. It handles drives formatted with EXT?, ExFat, NTFS and VFAT. UUID is a work in progress, just introduced in the current version, v1.14.

adbFire has a topic here in the xda Fire TV forum. Feel free to ask further questions there.
[Fire TV General] DEREKTROTTER:
just EXT?

so atm i cant mount my NTFS and FAT32 drives with that method?
[Fire TV General] jocala:
Look again. EXT2/3/4 NTFS,ExFAT and VFAT.
[Fire TV General] Stevie G:
In my case I only have my external usb 3 ssd that I connect., which means there is no need to give it any priority. I have moved all the AFTV storage to the ssd and boot up from it. All I need is a usb 3 hub that is compatible with the external to boot my AFTV up. I can then connect anything else to the usb hub.
[Fire TV General] DEREKTROTTER:
So frustrated, got a powered usb hub and connected 2TB HDD and its turned out a fail. XBMC freezes up / stickmount takes forever and sometimes not at all.

Got the fire tv mainly to play back my movie collection but seems it wont be done so easily.
[Fire TV General] tenderidol:
I exchanged the 4 port hub with a 7 port hub and filled up all the ports with USB sticks and hard drives. FireTV boots while the hub and all the drives are connected, and everything works fine. If you don't need a USB 3.0 hub for other things down the road, you might want to give this one a try.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Thanks for the links... Will keep an eye out for them for BlackFriday. Since I am on the market for 3 ( 3 FTV's ). I was leaning on getting 3 Transcend TS-HUB3K Powered USB 3.0 - 4 Port Hub's But is not like the AFTV's will ever need USB 3.0. The price on the 7 port hub should cut my per unit price by half after coupons... Wonder how low can they go..
[Fire TV General] DEREKTROTTER:
has anyone used a powered HDD with the fire tv directly? e.g a 4TB seagate

i would assume they would not need a powered hubbut not sure

Really frustrated as i have 2 portable HDD and both experience freezing and buffering with movie playback from them. I sometimes have to reboot the AFTV just to stop the freezing. I got a fire TV to replace a WD HDTV live as i was getting freezing on there and it seems to be still happening :/

Please post here the HDDs you use that play files perfectly.

Thanks
[Fire TV General] tenderidol:
All my USB 3.0 external drives [e.g., WD 1TB portable, WD 2TB portable, Seagate 2TB (powered)] work fine when they're connected one by one directly to the AFTV or all at the same time using a USB hub. I don't think it makes a difference, but they're all exFAT formatted (a lot of PCs and Macs at home).
[Fire TV General] phoenix2007:
Just to get this clear: For mounting USB drives I need root, do I?
[Fire TV General] collindv:
Yes.
[Fire TV General] KLit75:
Hmmm...really not my intention to highjack this thread but I've been using stickmount and adbFire with the usb checkbox checked. Is there a possible conflict using both? Because I've had on & off problems I can't pinpoint and have had this setup since adbFire started including this feature.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
There are reports on the scripts thread of folks trying to go from stickmount to the scripts with problems if they didn't clear their FTV's. So yeah.. It seems to be a either or but not both... Both methods will fight with each other.
[Fire TV General] DEREKTROTTER:
i had stickmount and simply uninstalled it before using the script method. Everything working fine
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Well there you go.. First try just uninstalling stickmount & anything related to it like FolderMount & try that. But if you still see conflicts then something might of been left behind...
[Fire TV General] KLit75:
Ok. To be honest I never even thought of that option in adbFire as a substitute for stickmount. It's very silent (no permissions asked for that I was aware of.) Wouldn't just disabling it in adbFire have the same effect? Instead of uninstalling stickmount and foldermount?

And sorry I don't know what you mean by "clear out". Are there remnants of fm and adbFire left behind after clearing data and deleting them? Really appreciate an answer if you have one. I thought my ftv had a bug. A factory reset in cwm seemed to fix it but after a few days the lag and persistent glitches crept up again.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
By clear I meant Factory Reset... But you seem to have tried that already.... Are you using a CWM backup to get your stuff on there or are you starting from scratch ?
[Fire TV General] jocala:
adbFire's mounting options are stickmount/foldermount replacements. However, if left unused they shouldn't interfere with store solutions. Mixing the the two is not a good idea.
[Fire TV General] KLit75:
[MENTION=3296004]j314[/MENTION]k I started from scratch, no backup, however, thought it was strange my xbmc that I was prepared to restore from a backup kept everything. So maybe I did something wrong? All my apps were gone and I had to setup aftv as if I just bought it, including watching the Amazon cartoon.
[MENTION=835715]jocol[/MENTION]a, ok. So I can just disable the option on your software and the other apps should be fine? BTW--adbFire is pretty incredible! I'd use it as my main usb mount but don't quite understand how it works. I'd still need foldermount to move apps to external wouldn't I?

Thanks for the responses guys

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

The more I think about it...the less likely I think my issue is this conflict. Just from reading so many posts it doesn't seem many people are having the same problem I am. And you'd think loads of people started using stickmount after aftv got root. And tons use adbFire. Given how easy it is to just check that box I'd think more people would report the same problem.

On the other hand. It doesn't effect video playback one bit. It's just menu navigation and occassionally starting xbmc. Also sound cuts in & out and needs reboots frequently. And Netflix crashes if I go to it after exiting xbmc. Do those types of bugs sort of match up with the conflicts in question?
[Fire TV General] jocala:
Briefly, no, foldermount/stickmount are not required. You can have unlimited space for your apps without them. I don't want to threadjack, so I'll be glad to answer in depth in the adbFire thread.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaliLife17:
Order my Nexus 9 on Monday from the play store with Overnight shipping. Got the Tablet Tuesday. Noticed that the the left half of the screen has vertical purple/pink stripes on it. Mostly notable on lighter screens, white/light grey/grey. Looks to be either the screen defective of gpu, not sure. It is a 32gb Black tablet. Work is getting about 10 more in over the next couple of days so going to see if anymore have the issue. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Already put in a RMA this morning through Google and will send this one back and get a new one. Will try and see if i can get anything to show up on a picture to post it here.

EDIT: to better clarify, it seems like every other row of pixels is the discolored Pink/Purple. So there are a good amount of Stripes. Seems to be consistently every other row of pixels. Will try and get a picture

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mR.[hyDe]:
As per title, I would like to know the VOOC charging can blend well with custom rom right ? Because it detect the hardware but not the software nor the kernel I guess. Any one can tell me the exact one ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] farenteria:
Yes, it'll work
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
VOOC is implemented by custom hardware and the kernel, and all custom projects properly rebased the kernel VOOC support onto whatever base they used.

Thanks mate, one more question is that is that oppo device will show "relocked bootloader" like sony had did when u relock bootloader? The term relocked bootloader actually risk user in my country a lot

Does tethering work in this latest build?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] simms22:
thanks, but this is not an original rom, and does not go into the n5 original development threads. it goes to the android development section, since you did not make up android 5.0.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] neobuddy89:
Unfortunately, YES.

Old PM structure. Old mem structure. No CPU boost. No much cream layer of audio. Just imp fixes and minor features on top of kk 3.4 kernel.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] katsumeiyo:
thanks for OP patience. it has been said a 1000 times. flash other kernel if you want root. I hear toolkit work too, but I just spent 20 pages reading the same damn question.

However, got a question, there are 2 gapps compiled in this thread. the first one is the gapps-lp-20141106-signed.zip. and the second, someone posted it in the comments. when you go through the setup wizard on the Preview. It gives you the option to resotre apps from past version, and it restores your home with icons. can someone tell me, which version of gapps does that? or specifically what is the default launcher? (launcher3? google now loauncher?)

also, can OP explain what the G+ fix is about?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] yashade2001:
Yes, flash franco kernel zip for lollipop and flash supersu 2.17. But you need a custom recovery.
