Honestly I'd just pick up a cheap SD -> USB adapter on ebay, it's probably like a dollar or two shipped and it'll put an end to that problem.

Also don't forget that google apps have a special permission setting in the google settings, separate from the phone gps enable.

Interesting, maybe it just checks specific parameters are present but they don't all matter on remount. Thanks!

I think the pickiness of whether the device (and fs type, etc) needs to be specified on a remount is related to what busybox is present (and maybe if there is a discrete mount utility instead of part of busybox). It's not really any difference in the kernel or the rest of the OS. Also, when...

Use echo instead of cat - otherwise it should work. Cat reads out files and outputs them, but echo reads its arguments and outputs them. Well, actually, you might need #!/system/bin/sh at the beginning of those files. change the cat lines to this: echo '#!/system/bin/sh' > /system/bin/sysrw...

There is actually a build on the real site: MIUI ROM for HTC EVO 4G - MIUI Downloads - Xiaomi MIUI Official Forum I don't particularly recommend it. It's rather weirded up at the internals level and probably you will have problems running various apps. Ignoring that I don't think it's easily...

Re: Help! ADB problems in TWRP recovery (no OS or SD card) Phone keeps showing up as "MTP USB Device Maybe you could do a bind mount from the terminal command to make another area (data? cache?) show up as /sdcard?

There is an armv6 VLC! Our phone has FPU (VFP) but not armv7/neon. Clicky to downloads

How much work would it be to patch android to use the kernel time?

I made some more tests with those two optimus S's I had that wouldn't run the OS2SD. I loaded on the internal ROM, and the one that FC'd phone still does so, and the one that FC'd acore fails to execute the updater binary near the end of installation. Didn't try booting it. Tried swapping SD...

If google wants to update gapps itself and store in /data, maybe a different approach might be: What is the smallest gapps (or parts of it) that can be put in /system and still allow the update function to succeed?

Tried loading the 20141025 os2sd version on two phones... Edit: Wait, that's an ext4 build, hold on... Testing results: Phone that was FC'ing "Phone" still does so, otherwise seems to start up okay. Phone that was FC'ing Acore no longer boots even to the CM logo. I noticed one SD read...

Yeah I've definitely noticed some SD slot problems on these phones (there is a 4th phone that I gave up on using SD cards in because it was too flaky, and my class 4 16GB now seems kinda wonky even in its original phone), but it's just weird that when the card *seems* to be working in them...

Ok, yesterday I tried out the latest f2fs os2sd on 3 different optimus S's (and brand new 8GB SD cards); the phones were all working with hydrorom before, with maybe an hour or two of testing on each. After loading os2sd f2fs, one phone more or less seems to work (these class 10 cards are very...
