Its sinking in, and im depressed

Its just sinking in for me.. im kind of bummed about it.
The measly 4GB on the diamond with NO means of expansion is not enough.
The iphone offers 8 and 16.. even the freaking Samsung Tocco is being given away with 8GB card.
What were HTC thinking?!

Don't like it, don't buy it!!! You really like the iphone? Go with it and hold your complaints to yourself. There is a lot of this topic going around already, don't litter it with more of the same sh*t...

No.. I absolutely detest the iPhone.
I already have my diamond, but tonight (as I put loads of music on my device) ive been thinking about it more and more... why didnt HTC put at least 8GB in it or add a Micro SD slot.
Other than that, I absolutely adore my diamond. Its a fantastic device and a great upgrade to my HTC Touch.

The whole 'mine is bigger than yours' thing doesn't bother me.
It's a phone, not an entertainment system for me.
I always carry a usb drive and am rarely far from a real pc.
When I ordered it I hadn't noticed the lack of card slot and I've only ever had a 2gig card in my previous smartphones. Maybe I just don't understand the concern to have so much on a media player but then again I did used to buy C120 tapes for my walkman

I cant remember the exact figure but it would add several mm to the device to put in a MicroSD slot so that's the main reason they didnt. There may also be power savings and speed improvements but i beleive the size issue was the most important.

Second the notion! One of the best things the Diamond has is its size!
Perfect size,you boys are forgetting the SIZE.

Turns into one too you try and do anything clever on it ;-)

I'm syncing my diamond to my iMac(itunes) using missing sync, so I'm not really sure whether this is possible using media player on windows, haven't been using windows for years so I have no idea as to it's playlist capabilities...
I've got two playlists that I'm syncing (everytime my diamond connects, basically every night) the first one I add music to as I please (songs I have to actually add to the playlist)... The second however consists of songs played less than three times... I have a pretty large library and my diamond pretty much always have music on it that I'm not tired of, hence I find the 4Gb quite sufficient. This is also available for videos, or video podcasts (if you use your diamond as a video player)

They'll comeout with one with more memory, until then, go to www.modmyifone.com:)

I absolutely agree. Everyone knows that the Diamond has 4Gb and is not expandable. Pretty pathetic really if they buy it and then realise they want more space.

I have stored 100+ pics, 15 hours of music and installed all programs in the internal storage - and I still have 2,4 GB free.

Not really. Its like anything else, you buy it thinking it'll be fine - its only when the space runs out that you realise you want more.
And no - dont go suggesting the iphone as an alternative, to me its a compromise. I want a kick ass Windows Mobile device. The diamond is damn near perfect apart from the storage issue. Curious HTC went this route as
1) Flash memory is very cheap. Hardly any cost difference between 4GB and 8GB
2)A Micro SD slot will not impact size that much
Do any of you think there will be any third party solutions (adaptors of some sort?)

The forum is for trying to solve a problem and sharing information.
Moaning - perhaps understandable to a certain limit.
Now, you know there is nothing you (or anyone else can do) about the 4 GB internal sotrage that you got with your phone.
If there is a new version of the diamond, with more memory or an external card slot.. someone will definitely share that info.
Unless that's what you were doing, I don't think that moaning is going to get you anywhere or achieve anything.
An exercise in futility.
If you just want to share your opinion, there are plenty of places where you can do so.
Doing it on a forum where people are looking for solutions, not exactly the best approach.

Not really - there are workable solutions, for example someone mentioned ORB.. plus I'd like to get into dialogue about the possibility of adaptors..
I wont be dictated to about what I can or cannot talk about.
I mean a thread dedicated to wallpaper on the diamond (Which is near 5 pages long) is more redundant than this one, yet I hear no complaints about that.

Can anyone help me build a computer?

I do not know much when it comes to hardware of computers but im looking at this one

Also i will not be doing much gaming but i would like atleast a quadcore 3.0ghz processor and i already have a decent graphics card so i will not need that. Im trying to spend around 500-550$ if possible

You do realize you need an OS, right?
And please, if you want to put everything together yourself then just go to a computer shop, tell them what you want and they'll do it. I've seen many people come with fried boards come to the shop I work at because they tried to do it themselves.

Anyone running honeycomb?

I burned it to my SD card, botted the NC with it inside and all I get is a clock and a message asking for a password to decrypt the drive. Anyone know what the password is? I can't find any posts anywhere with a password mentioned and I have to ask here because I don't have enough posts to actually ask in the development thread where this likely belongs.

You did it wrong. Try downloading, extracting and burning again. Mine is running great.

Yeah, you did something wrong. I booted it up and it looks sweet. Not a daily driver, but a very, very nice proof of concept.

I just got mine running, after giving up on it last night. I was having problems where initially winimage wouldn't even see my sd card. Then I tried in Ubuntu following the directions on the dev link, and I must have been doing something wrong, it didn't work. Tried again with winimage today and it worked this time. If you have a problem still, leave a description of your method here. It seems like this can be a finicky process for us noobs.

Doesn't it figure, right after I get this working they release an update to the .img.

I'm pretty sure it's the sd card. I'm using a 32gig class 10. I went to switch it with the 16 gig card in my vibrant and I can't even get it to work right in the phone.

Honeycomb assumes that if it fails to mount the partition for /data that the partition must be encrypted, and therefore it should prompt for a password.
So, you have a partition that won't mount, possibly due to an error writing the image to the sdcard. Either redo the image or if you have a linux machine, reformat the partition.

If you placed a disk image on the card then it probably is in a format that your phone doesn't like now. You'll need to reformat it, which I find the easiest way to do this is to start your nookcolor up on the stock os, then insert the card and wait for it to prompt you to format it. That should make your 32Gb card play nice with the phone again.

No, I did reformat it before I put it in. Turns out the Vibrant only supports SD cards up to 16 gig in size. It was definitely an issue with the SD card. Ran over to Best Buy on my way home from work and picked up an 8gig class 4 card (for a ridiculous price, Best Buys my ass) and was able to get Honeycomb up and running in less than 15 minutes. Would have preferred the faster card, but I guess I'll just have to send the 32 gig card back.

Ok, I was completely unaware that the Vibrant didn't take sd>16Gb. My G2 takes up to 32, so I didn't consider it. But that doesn't mean your 32Gb card is bad. The nookcolor can use a card of that size. How did you reformat it? If you're using windows and you went to format it from the file explorer,that may not have done it, that never works for me.

Just to clarify things, when you guys refer to "SD card," you're talking about a Micro SD card, right?
I want to make sure I buy the right thing for when I purchase my NC.

Yeah, definitely microsd

Mine's running just fine running on a class 4 4gb card. I used my mac to just dd the image onto the card and it fit without a problem, so maybe if you format in linux (download and burn a live cd of gparted if you have to) you can get something that will work best. Also, don't forget to get the newest version of windiskimager (it seems like it's the only thing that works on windows so far).
It's not quite usable for everyday, but once things get worked out it's definitely worth dedicating to eMMC =D

can some one help me out with the process of installing honeybunches
is this just a preview of honeycomb?
can i just put it on my nook to look around play with, THEN go back my usual set up?
if so how?

Download the zip file from the post in the Dev section, then write it to a uSD card that is AT LEAST 4gb (using either dd in linux/mac terminal or the latest win32diskimager). Shut off your NC and load in the card. When you turn it back on it will run the Honeycomb image from the card - no changes made to your NC!
When you want to go back, just turn off, take out card, then reboot. Right now there aren't many things working on it (you have to install the market yourself, and then most apps don't work). But it is a beautiful proof of concept. You can play around in it a bit to familiarise yourself with the new stuff without hurting your NC (theoretically, don't hold me to it if something does go wrong).
Good luck!

Got a NC a few weeks ago, rooted, and running well, but clearly not optimal.
Saw the google presentation of honeycomb today, and clearly this is what tablets need.
Do you all (those who do development) believe that the current NC is a candidate for a real version of honeycomb once it it fully released, and that it can be ported, or is the HW not adequate for it. In other words, should I be thinking my NC can be my tablet in June, or am I going to have to purchase another 'real' tablet that officially has honeycomb?

The mere fact that Honeycomb runs in it's current state is proof enough. And, it does run well for being literaly a ported code preview, also I'm sure all of the hardware acceleration and what nots are driverless and drunk. TBH it's really only going to go up from here. As soon as CWM and nookie froyo play nice everyone and their brother will be putting out custom images. Then we'll have finished honeycomb ports to look forward to.

I completely agree with woot1524, cyanogenmod won't work on this demo version of honeycomb, but once the release is official they'll whip up a rom that makes this a legit tablet. Personally I'll wait until that happens before I flash anything onto the device. I'd rather have 3.0 on my nook than 2.2 or 2.3, just for the fact that it's geared toward tablets, but there is a lot of chatter about CM7 coming to the nook sooner than later.

"Honeybunches", a custom version of deeper-blue's work, has a 2GB image.I'm currently running it off of a 2GB Class 2 microSD and it's pretty darn speedy.

Has anyone noticed any performance issues with different class SD Cards?
Is there a significant difference in speed between a class 6 (I have) and a class 10 (I do not have)?
Is there any difference in performance using any class card - 2,4,6 or 10?
Also, Has anyone been able to DL and run the B&N Nook App without causing a FC?

SD file system support (aka none) - Xperia T

So, I just got myself a 64GB MicroSDXC from SanDisk to use in my Xperia T as storage for some movies. I planned on formatting it in EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 or EXFAT so I can store files bigger than 4GB on this.
But... turns out the Xperia T won't read anything but FAT32. I can use the full capacity just fine and it works perfectly, but you're stuck if you want to load anything bigger than 4GB since FAT32 can't handle it.
Sort of sucks.

I used GParted in Linux to format the card from my PC, no dice. I tried EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, NTFS and exFAT. Nothing works. Tried hotplugging and rebooting with the card inserted.
I'm pretty sure the kernel only supports mounting FAT32 SD cards. With FAT32 everything is fine, you can use the full capacity and everything and the phone nicely formats it for you, but I can't live with the 4GB file size limit. Or well, not for the price I paid for the card.
I'm returning the card, doesn't really matter to me, but I absolutely don't get why Sony doesn't implement at least the EXT2/3/4 they use for the internal file system. It's baked into the kernel for sure but it just refuses to mount the SD card with it.

There are init.d scripts that will enable it, and I am sure there is a custom kernel that does enable it.
However, with 4.1 coming in q1 2013 you may want to hang onto that card....

I really don't want to unlock my bootloader or root my phone...
I'm selling the card now, I got it online for way below what they go for in Belgium so I'm actually making a profit anyway. Not that I'm doing it for that, but when I want to I can just get another one around that time (but then I'll test with another card beforehand).

Why are you not for rooting your phone. I'm trying to way up if it's worth doing. And there's also the risk of my tech ability. I would say I'm a rank amateur in the tech department. Any opinions on where I can go to start learning. I have Xperia lt30p. Gratitude to anyone who points me in the right direction.

I've rooted tons of phones before, I'm a software development student and an extreme Android geek, but I like the safe, walled garden I'm in right now. I like what Sony has done with Android and want to keep as much of it intact to be honest.
I've rooted my own phones before too, but I felt I really spent too much time messing with it after doing those things, always tweaking things that really didn't do anything but offer placebo effects. I like not having to worry about that stuff.
And I don't want to risk any sort of warranty loss.

That's exactly what has been holding me back. If I was to root it I don't have any dev skills so would probably end up doing exactly what you explained. Just tweaking for tweaking's sake. But I do want to start understanding what's being said in forums. Some of it goes way over my head. I would like to test the limits of my Xperia t but am a little unsure where to start. How do you feel the Xperia t holds up in the top ranks of smartphones. This is my first Sony smart and I'm fairly happy so far.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

Start by reading the all in one thread in the Q&A section.
You will not void any warranty by rooting as you can always revert back to factory settings by flashing a stock ftf and no one will know.
Furthermore you can do more than just placebo tweaks, like remove bloatware and change the look of your phone by adding new systemui.apk mods. Take a look in the theme and app section

You had the same idea as me. I purchased a MicroSD card today, although it was only 8GB. I can confirm that anything other than Fat32 is not readable by the Xperia T running stock ICS.
I'm splitting the HD movies into two parts as a short-term workaround.
Further to the above, I can confirm that splitting the movie files using Split and Concat on a Mac (or Hjsplit on Windows), produces files which play fine in VLC player and MX player. The downside is that you have to navigate to the file using a file browser, for example, Astro and select play as video file and select your choice of player.
Not a very elegant solution, but allows Fat32 to be used and movie files larger than 4GB to be transferred and played.
Hope this helps!

Wrong! I've got an EXT3/4 formatted 64gb card in my Xperia T and have about 45gb of data on it at the mo, and all of which is accessible. As Greg has already suggested, and I formatted mine using a Samsung Galaxy Note, but you could probably use any latest generation Galaxy!
There are at least 2 other threads discussing this (SD capacity and format). People really should use the search function - and they are probably in the Q & A thread.

Wrong! I've got an EXT3/4 formatted 64gb card in my Xperia T and have about 45gb of data on it at the mo, and all of which is accessible. As Greg has already suggested, and I formatted mine using a Samsung Galaxy Note, but you could probably use any latest generation Galaxy!
There are at least 2 other threads discussing this (SD capacity and format). People really should use the search function - and they are probably in the Q & A thread.

Are you sure it's ext3/ext4? Can you put files over 4GB on your SD? I formatted the card directly from GParted on my PC and tried about every file system there is and really only FAT32 was recognized.

Not absolutely sure but I had to use an ext3/4 mounting tool to get readonly access when I inserted the card directly into my Windows PC. (not being able to get read/write access I tend to just connect the phone to the PC these days though.)
I've got a couple of > 4gb movies on the card and they seem to be playing fine.

Hi everyone! Has someone tried the xperia z with a 32 card with exFAT or ex# (no fat32 file system) and work with files bigger than 4 gb? It is most important for me to handle this file size. Thanks!

swap internal with external storage

Hi,
Now that several custom Roms are out with init.d support does anyone know of a script that can be used with script manager to swap internal and external at boot?
I have a 512 GB SD card rigged inside of my 10000 MAH battery on my phone. Just need to swap the two so I can have unlimited space for games.
If you have a working script and share I will give you $50

Where did you get a 512 GB micro SD I thought they only went up to 128 gb

SD, not micro SD... Hadn't thought of trying something like that! Kudos.

Yes I bought one from Sandisk full sized SD. Then you buy a SD to micro SD adapter off Ebay and you can use it.
https://www.google.com/search?q=SD+...%2Fsdmicro-to-sd-card-adapter%2F11922;800;600
That is the one I use
Combined with a flexible extended battery case it actually fits in nice and snug. Basically a god mode phone
512 GBs works like a charm.
Just need a good script to install all my apps there.
I have used folder mount in the past but even when using folder mount your internal memory slowly fills up...and eventually even with moving all files possible you run into an issue where you have 0 space on internal memory and tons on the SD.
I really wish they would not restrict Android this way

Yeah I know how you feel... I use the Xposed module called XInternalSD on mine. I used to use a init.d script that did it on my Note 2 with 4.12 but got lazy and grabbed the Xposed module on this phone. But wow! A 512 GB SD card is crazy! I thought I had alot of crap and am planning on grabbing a 128. Your setup and the whole ribbon deal I had completely forgot about. Might end up reconsidering :good: I wonder if a Init.d script would still work since KitKat and changing the storage writing etc. I'll look further into this tonight. No need for money although that is very generous though. Not sure how I feel about developing and donations. I kinda feel like we do this stuff for fun and not profit but oh well. I'm not against it but personally don't think I could do that personally. Of course, I've never done anything to extravagant here anyways. Modded some roms, themes, hacks, etc. but nothing too fancy. I'll post back here if I find anything worth mentioning. XInternalSD works nicely though. The path is to internal card should be /storage/extSdCard on the settings part of the app. The init.d script should look something like this:
sleep 10
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:49 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0
That's from my old one. Please don't use that lol! I just got to find the new value for the Note 4. It's either 179:64 or 179:65.... Hmmm... Not sure if anything else is needed since KitKat is different. [email protected] lol!

how does xinternalSD work?
If I already have apps installed will it move everything to the SD that is already on the phone?
If I set it to do all apps will it run stay persistent through restarts so the phone always looks there or is a script needed?
I am not fond of foldermount it is clunky and as i said before it is possible to move all the apps off the SD card and still have the internal memory fill up. Plus there is the issue of internal memory filling up with non app stuff and then the phone refusing to let u install anything new from play store due to the apps not having enough space on the phone supposedly.
there must be a way to do a swap....

I think it's just a fancy app to emulate that script storage swap. You should just try those two values I gave ya. I'm sure one of them will work. As far as some space on internal being eaten up... It seems unavoidable but it(the module or script) does help alot. I just got my device a couple of weeks ago and have been weeding through my old apps and what I want to keep etc. I'm an app hoarder apparently like yourself Anyways, so far the module seems to be keeping internal clean. It's worth a shot especially seeing all the work you put into making a giant storage space for yourself. I have to say I'm a bit jealous. Might have to get myself an early Christmas gift lol!
Oh I'm sorry. I forgot one part. Apparently if I remember correctly you don't want to have internal fill up too much or apps won't install like you said. Android internal requires 10% of available storage space to available or sh!t won't sync or install etc. So I totally understand. The problem is that now that storage is larger these days... 10% could be several GBs worth of space which is really stupid. If I were you... I'd try the Xposed module first and see if anything is moved. I kind of doubt it. You could move it manually with one of those apps you mentioned. There are quite a few up there if you don't like your current clunky one. I'll probably fiddle with those values on the init.d script soon if I get some more free time. I gotta do some more research and what exactly was changed with KitKat. I had been using 4.1.2 until very recently lol!

yeah once i am done with the 4 hour transfeer of the contents of my card to PC so I can safely screw around with it & not wipe it I will try a few things out with the scripts and modules.
I dont understand why Google makes it so hard to do this. They obviously took away the loop holes a lot of people used to do use to prevent it.
Hell I think they are insane for trying to kill off SD cards. The rate this industry has updated the internal storage vs the demands of game apps which come out is stupid...
The best phones are mainly for games, Highest downloaded apps games, apps people spend on most game...
games need memory. I could wipe out this 32 GB of storage with 10 games if I were selective. In this day and age that is just dumb.
Jack the price of the phone up...I paid $800 for my 512 GB SD card....obviously there is a demand for it. Hell a 128 Gb or 64 GB internal memory in the states would sell better then these 4 GB budget phones the industry spits out
majority of people i know who use smartphones use them for facebook, instgram, the camera and a few other social apps and maybe angry birds....
For these people to need these beefy processors and ram and it is overkill.

Exactly... I think since Google is pushing certain criteria on their own phones that they want to do so on the rest. In turn they have really stunted their own Nexus devices with lack of removable battery and storage. It's insane. And the beefier cpu/gpu/ram doesn't help if you don't have the Storage to run those games, apps, etc. Very happy Samsung hasn't done away with it yet... I think they realize they have the edge on all other phones because of this. The solutions are so simple it just blows my mind that few others get it. I think they are just trying to monetize on the whole situation by forcing us to buy the phones with larger storage. It's just wrong though. Screw over folks too much and you'll lose customers. Some don't get it until it's too late. Keep us filled in with how it goes. I'll check back here once I play with the script some.

If it helps I think the external SD is 179:65 since while messing around with another app it claimed that 179:65 appeared to be formatted as exfat which is the format of my SD card. I think the internal storage is formatted differently.

I know with the Note 2 there was a script you could run and set it for boot every-time that would swap the two.

If someone can go ahead and make it possible for the note 4 that'd be great.

Yeah that's basically it what I posted. I've just got to place around with it first.
I've been playing around with values and haven't quite figured it out yet. The mounts are different, vold, and chown. I've changed a few different things here & there but no luck yet. I'll post it here or a redirect if I get it working.

Yeah I basically gave up. Keep getting FCing even with the correct settings. Did you try the Xposed module? It works nicely. Plus, I noticed they brought back move app to SD function which I might end up using on my larger apps. Not sure what else I can do. I may do some searching in the S5 threads. There's one particular mod I'd like to look at as well. It's a version of the download Booster that works with HSPA and lower MB threshold. That would be VERY HANDY to have working on our device!

I read that one way to do it in kitkat is to get into your actual kernel image and edit it in there.
A little out of my exp but I may give it a try.
