[MENTION=4254806]ch3mn3y[/MENTION] you can use all ROMs up to 4.2, because SELinux and other core things like storage/emulated/0.

The SdExt only store system.img, and only system (for now, the patch is under progress all time).

You have option to put 1 in /system (dual), 3 in /cache (multi-slot), and unlimited in /data and /sdext (External Card).

Support F2FS and Ext4, auto-detect, just need support in your ROM and all will works (not tested because no F2FS support for mine device :P)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Original Android Development] ch3mn3y:
If I can ask: where /data goes? I mean /data/app, /data/data, etc., not /data/media)?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Original Android Development] ch3mn3y:
So I tried to mod cyanhacker 2.0 to work from extsd, but app FC's at 1.4%. Tried last 8.0.0. Anyone know which one works with our device or this rom (don't know which one cause FC)?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Original Android Development] Caio99BR:
The rom is stored in any partition in a folder called "multiboot", try other rom or old app versions.

I used this: DualBootPatcher-8.0.0.r2115.g279e1b2-win32.zip (last build from 09.01.2016). It patched the file (older ones couldn't open the archive). Now i will try to flash it on my device and than i will probably use app from the same build (DualBootPatcherAndroid-8.0.0.r2102.gd35e5db-snapshot.apk).
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Original Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Naah, i use newest app. Zips can be edited on Windows machine.

Small request: any chance to move /cache and /data to the same folder as /system? Or at least /data (as /cache is more temporary) as it can become big for one rom and we have less than 3GB of space on this partition...

Check in external card the multiboot folder.

This app have a lot of bugs, use the zip in DualBootPatcher site, for cat the logs, and we can see if something goes wrong and report a bug.

Its ok. After 2 reboots of primary rom, sdext one is back and after next two reboots between roms its still there. Dont know what was wrong, but right now i suppose there wont be any useful info in logs.

Downloaded the logs zip, so next time will use it.

It works really fast from class 4 sdcard. However I thought that extsd is 2 partition and created one :P

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jcrowell1999:
So I've exhausted my search for a fix to my problem, or anything to spell death to trying to fix it.

The power button on my M8 ACTS stuck, or like the button is depressed and over-sensitive. It is either unresponsive, or over responsive. Pressing it does nothing most of the time, however lightly running my finger across it will bring up the menu options as if I've just held it down for 5 seconds. It will also give me the pop up to press the volume up button to reboot the device.

I took it in to a repair shop and they told me it could be a software issue, or even a hardware issue. Due to the "complexity" of HTC engineering, they suggested replacing the entire board, and even then, there is no grantee that will fix the problem.

Yes, it is out of warranty. I have already upgraded my phone, but was hoping to use this as a gift to someone in need. Otherwise I might just let it collect dust or trade it in.

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Any suggestions? I plan on trying complete factory reset. Locking of the bootloader and everything to see if that works.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

One thing I've noticed with this phone, that I don't remember experiencing on previous Nexus/Android experiences, is an annoying "Boop!" tone that happens right as you hit the red button to end a call. I've been digging around in settings and can't find a way to get rid of this tone.

Any of you know a way to turn this off?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
I haven't noticed the beep yet (takes on the phone less than an hour ago too).

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indigoataxia:
A friend asked me to look at his 8.9 HD. It boots to the Kindle Fire screen, which I believe is stock from what I've researched, and then the screen is blank. I've tried holding power button for 20 seconds, 40 seconds, 120 seconds and always boots to this. Tried charging and turning on ect ect and always the same. I'm on 7 64-bit. When I run the kindle fire usb driver installer I get an error near the end about it not installing correctly (I click allow when it starts and check Trust Amazon). Then I tried Soupkit inside Ubuntu. Somehow I once got it to go into fastboot mode, the only change I've ever seen on this tablet, but can't do it again.

I've rooted/restored HTCs Samsungs LGs Motorolas.....never had this much trouble with a device. I think the main issue is its not on long enough for drivers to install or fastboot to catch it. The one time it did work I believe I ran "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" in Ubuntu and it said waiting for device and then it caught it on reboot. Again, can't replicate this. Also not sure what to do then. Not really looking to root or whatnot, just fix it to stock. If I have to install TWRP or something to do this so be it.

Please help....

I realize I'm talking to myself but hopefully someone will see I'm trying and not just OMG someone fix this kthxbi.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe6789:
How to flash TWRP for 8.9 HD?

Indigo, can you please point me in the right direction for finding the TWRP recovery files for the 8.9 HD? And what commands did you use to flash them? Something like "fastboot flash recovery recovery-prod.img -i 0x1949" ?

I've been following the same path as you... first tried First Aide, which got me into Fastboot, but won't actually restore to stock. Then tried flashing boot and recovery images found on XDA, but that didn't seem to help things. I think my Kindle is in the same state yours was, so would be really useful to get more detail on how you finally solved it with TWRP and Restore 2 Stock.

Thanks!

Joe
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe6789:
Indigo, never mind. I successfully found, flashed, and ran TWRP on my Kindle 8.9HD. But for some reason when I try to run the Restore 2 Stock program, it "Cannot find a device in TWRP mode". I can actually run Restore 2 Stock while starting the Kindle in fastboot, and then Restore 2 Stock finds the device and kicks it into TWRP mode, but as soon as that happens Restore 2 Stock somehow loses its connection to the Kindle and pops up the "Cannot find a device in TWRP" error message.

So I need to keep troubleshooting.
[Android Themes] FamousHerself:
Hey android lovers,

I'm in a difficult situation so I hope some one can please help me and being clear to me because my adhd. thanks in advance already.

I'm 23 years old and I'm having a iPhone since my 17th and since my 18th I'm into jailbreak, hacken, designing etc etc. and my best friend really likes what I do.

So I really want to design something for her, not huge. I was thinking about something awesome.

I think it would be fun to make 2 different styles of icons. Because android have '2 springboards'. I don't want to make her confused or something so I want to stay also colorful at the 'first' springboard and the 'second' a little bit how I like and that's usually dark background, wallpaper and colorful effects in the icon self.

But before I'm talking more about my really exciting feelings for that because I have so many new ideas because the difference between apple and android. I need to get to the point. I really don't know nothing about android, the development or what kind of designs already exsist, so sorry if my idea is old ;p I don't hate android at all, but ya, I know how to call with it. I am googling now for 3 hours maybe more to know if there is a way to install or convert .deb to a android. I have seen launchers to install iOS themes and tweaks. I know android is a open source so is there a way if I make the icons for her, that she can download it and activate in her launcher? Or, a other way to convert it? I don't want to look stupid here or something. I know android works different but for sure more options than Apple without jailbreak.

So I hope anyone can tell me if its possble, I can work with Debian and Windows only. And if it's possible but maybe 'hard' to make it android proof. I will read everything on Internet and learn from it. I know I can make my best friend happy with it.

Thanks,

Sandra

Hey guys, i have an acer iconia a700 and i flashed CM11 on it. It worked fine for awhile and recently when i boot the tablet up and try to download something it crashes and boots back to the home screen and does the same. I have done some research and it sounds like theres issues with the internal storage. Is there any tools to reformat the paritions. When i try to reflash a rom onto the tablet it does nothing i believe its not writing anything to the tablet. Cleaning the cache and wiping doesnt work either. I saw Nvflash is not enabled on these devices as well. Thoughts?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
(Bare with me, this IS wm6 related)

Okay, so i got this qtek 9090 from a trade online, and the owner pointed out that he had used it for some time now and it worked without problems.

However that seems not to be my experience. At first I was a little worried that it did not came with a charger.. Only a USB cable. No worries i thought, I will just charge it through USB. Now I have had some experiences where phones wouldn't charge from some of my computers, apparently because of some boards that put out lower amps than others. However I knew atleast one computer should have no problem charge ordinary cell phones.

So i plugged it in, and to my worries the battery kept going down... Untill the phone was dried from power and everything got lost again.. and again.. and again.. It seemed a little odd that it apparently deleted everything each time, since the backup battery indicated 100%.

So at last it went into flightmode and I shut it down with the powerbutton and let it be connected.. The first many hours nothing happened.. But suddenly, when i did an occasional check, it said 3% battery. I went to sleep and the next morning it was fully charged. I used it all day in school and it held its power real fine.

Now I got the feeling that this probably was caused by the low amp output from the computer, making it unable of charging to the extend where the phone would still be able of running whilst charging. So i figured i would order a 220v (the powercurrent here in Denmark) -> 5v USB that outputs 700mA, to make a quicker charge.

Well, to day I was gonna receive that adapter, and since I'd read that the wm6 apparently draines the battery some bit, I waited untill today to upgrade to wm6.

I upgraded and everything truely runs quick and stable. But when i recieved the adapter and plugged it in, i was horrified. The power kept going down, as I had experienced when it was plugged into USB.

Now my girlfriend really wanted to play bejeweled on this thing, so she did and then shortly afterwards we took a few hours nap. I had her plug it in the new adapter to charge it. When i woke up i saw the screen blinking.

I could se it was rebooting over and over again, as it had done the first time it completely lost power..

Now besides that extremely annoying charging problem, I now had another concern....

The boot screen shows NONE next to the R and the G.

Next to the D is the wm version displayed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
red LED?

Hm.. By doing a hard reset it shows numbers next to R and G again.

It continuely reboots, display boot screen, shuts down, LED is red, reboots, displays boot screen, shuts down, LED is red again and again.

If i hard reset it some times it will at one point stay off, but the LED still lights red.

And now I question wether 700mA is even enough for charging the BA?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
1. Higher power given by power supply does not mean, you will get faster charging

2. If you use WM5/WM6 and have Bluetooth turned on, device turns on every few minutes (bug/feature of the driver needed to keep Bluetooth running: look for BigMike's fix for more information). If your deivce is set up to turn off after long time (for ex. 5 mins), battery might drain out in half a day.

3. Check power settings (delays for device power down etc.)

4. In WM6 be sure, that audio manager is not running (prevents device from deep sleep, allows only screen shutdown)

5. If battery shows up 100% and after disconnecting device discharges in less than 2h being turned on all the time (wifi, bt, phone, screen all the time turned on) it means, that battery might be worn. Consider exchange.

R and G showing NONE is normal in WM5/WM6 because of bug (unfixable for now) in the device and it's incomatibility with this OS: after turning on from power down (taking battery out or total discharging) make soft reset just when R NONE G NONE shows up on the screen. Everything will be normal.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
AFAIK the lower the mA output, the slower the charge period.

I have had wifi, bluetooth, beam off. I've set shutdown to 2 minutes. I've set it to low brightness and etc.

As i mentioned it had no problems going a whole day of usage in school.

Didn't know about the bug in wm6 that makes only the screen shut off, but at the momemt i can't even boot the device, apparently because it has no batterypower. And having it connected to the charger makes no real difference (other than it will display the bootscreen and perhaps even the Windows Mobile welcome screen thing, for a few seconds.. then go dead again.)

I've had it in the charger for about an hour or two, still not enough power to boot it up.

It feels like it's just not charging sometimes.. And other times it will charge just fine.

Found out about the reset to solve the NONE issue, but i still don't know what it means that its LED is red all the time?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
Even 500mA is enough for sure, as charging from USB works fine.

Device will shut down soon after turning on if there is not enough power in battery, even it if is charging. Leave it charging (amber led on the right) for some time. RED led means low battery and no charging (AFAIR).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
Hmm, i see. I just don't understand why it's not charging then :/
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
This is not a bug - thanks to this you can still listen to your music keeping device with screen turned off, when you don't need it to spare battery.

Red LED (right one) means low battery, no charging. To charge this led must be amber. Details - you must look for manual.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
Okay.

It's odd still. When i connect the charger the right LED starts to light red.

If it means that its not charging, there must be something wrong, since it only happens when connecting the charger..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
it can be amber or red. Those are different colors and meaning.

You can confirm it charges touching the battery - it becomes slightly warm after some time.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
I KNOW that, but it is not going amber. It stays red all the time.

Found this thread that discusses a similar problem; http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-233782.html

Apparently it shows RED light all the time if the battery is dead.. However i hardly doubt that the battery, which could power the phone just fine for and entire day, should be dead.

However, one suggestion in the thread was to take out the battery for some time and then try again. So I will do that for now.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
Behavior has changed a bit now..

The LED is still red when i connect the charger. However, if i try to turn it on following happens:

Boot Screen shows for a couple of seconds...

Windows Mobile startup screen appears and the LED changes to orange/amber..

After a few seconds the screen turns black and the LED changes to red again...

And then after a few more seconds the boot screen appears again and everything is repeated, over and over.

If I disconnect the charger the boot screen appears, the wm startup screen appears, this time with a flashing red LED.. shortly after the phone turns off.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] motisu:
I've seen this problem before. The charger is not putting out enough power to both charge and boot the BA. So what happens is that it starts charging enough to start boot, but as soon as it has enough power to start the boot, it immediately drains it by starting to boot with screen at full brightness.

What I do in this case is to try to catch it just as it starts to boot and turn the backlight off by holding down the power button for 5 sec. This turns off the backlight so there is less drain and the thing can boot up and start charging.

All in all, its a pretty stupid bug but what the hell, there is a solution to it.

Good luck.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
This seems to work atm. (just a few seconds since it successfully booted)..

Does this mean that the device really cant charge if its not "on" ?

(I can see its booted and the LED is now orange. If only it will stay this way untill it has been recharged further :)))
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] motisu:
It can charge when it is off. BUT... When its off, its not really off... It has to finish booting and then you can turn it off. Then it will charge faster as it only has minimum drain on the battery. As I said before, its a stupid design.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
Well we can certainly agree on that :P

So does the phone also basicly use to much power to be used and charged at the same time? Which would explain why it seemed to lose power even though it was connected to the charger.

Although it still doesn't add up for me, as at one point i was playing a game on it, while charging and then it charged real fast, where you would expect it to use more power o_O

Oh well, if only it keeps charging now i'll be glad ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] motisu:
I have found that if you only use the USB cable to charge, it takes much longer (if at all) to charge if it is on. Thats why I bought cradles that have external power suppies as well as the USB sync cable. With this configuration, it gets to full charge in about 90 minutes.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
Hm.. yeah.. I let it charge for some time, until it shut down and the LED changed to red again.. The same thing has happened about 3 times now.. If I try to navigate it with the brightness off it will shut down after a few clicks..

Seems like either the battery is completely dead or it's simply not charging.. :/

Think i have to buy a new battery and a cradle, although i didn't really want to spend money on this phone as i got it virtually for free (through a trade of a w810i)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] motisu:
Get it to orange and then push the power button (short push) to turn it off (not long push which only turns off the backlight). Then let it charge for an hour or 2 (or even all night). By then, it should work OK.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] trylleklovn:
Yeah, i tried that. As soon as i press the power button it goes to red again.
