can anyone tell me how to move apps to sd2?
i've tried apps2sd and another market app but neither can complete the task. both alert me that some apps can be moved to sd but neither will actually do it.
is this something i should just do with esfile or something? copy and move?
also, i've been moving some music to my gtab via usb in folders. after moving to sd, i can't move the entire folder to sd2, i have to copy individual tracks. am i doing something wrong? i can't see sd2 from usb mass storage unless i'm more blind than i thought.
thanks!
I have a Milestone 3 (XT860) from Movistar Argentina.
I installed Safestrap v3.05 and minimoto v1.7.
Everything goes as expected, excellent resources management. Over 100 MB RAM FREE! :laugh:
Right now, I'm dealing with the dock app. I bought the Droid 3 Dock, the one with HDMI and USB connectors. I have one at home and one a work.
At home I use the bedside look, while at work I used the Productivity look and, sometimes, the HDMI mirror.
When I put the phone on the dock, N1 alarm gets opened.
After reading all the 49 pages of the dev thread of Minimoto ROM I realized that there is a way to use some stock apps in this one.
Is there any guide or documentation too look for more info in order to achieve this?

What I usually do is look for the app in another deodexed, stock ROM, like Maverick. Download the Maverick zip file and unzip it. Look for the files in /system/app. I'm not sure what the dock requires; maybe dockservice.apk and dock.apk, though maybe it's smartdock.apk; while the car dock is smartcardock.apk.
I copy those files to SD, enable third party installs in settings->applications, and install the apps by tapping on them with the file application. I suppose you could move them to /system/app with root explorer and change the permissions but I just install the apps and the car dock works.
I only wanted the car dock and installed the last two (the two that begin smart) and the car dock works.

Thanks doogald! :good:
I downloaded latest Maverick 4.5 and installed Dock.apk, SmartDock.apk, DockServices.apk and SmartCarDock.apk.
After doing that, when I put the phone on it's dock, it showed the options for bedside, productivity, dismiss picker and Other "Displays non-smart mode dock apps".
Bedside and Productivity choices fail to start with a quick (so fast that I can not read) message. If I choose "Other", then N1 Alarm starts and keeps on top.
As far as I can see, I'm closer than I thought I would be, but still have to find the way to modify dock app config to not start N1Alarm.
Maybe, some parts of dockservice and dock are running in background to allow N1Alarm opening when on dock.
I tried to post a question in minimoto's post but I'm not allowed to.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Breaking news!
Yesterday, after 10 weeks, I received the shipment with my brand new car dock for my Milestone 3.
At eBay's site "/itm/111127122521?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
As I said in my previous posts, I installed the deodexed apks from Maverick 4.5 and when I connected the phone into the car dock everything went as expected. :fingers-crossed:
Car dock app got started and worked like a charm.
My only pending issue is to make work SmartDock Productivity and Bedside apps when the phone is into desktop dock.
Hi!
I just got my USB OTG cable and it works great. Is there an easier way to unmount the USB storage? Do I have to go into settings>storage every time to unmount the USB device safely?
Thanks!
You can install stickmount free app or donate version. Will put a mount/unmount in the notification bar.

I installed stickmount but it doesn't seem to work. After I unmount the USB drive from StickMount, it's still visible in "settings>storage" and I have to unmount from there again. Am I missing some thing here?
I am rooted on ElementalX kernel.
I'm sorry. I thought it would work.
Try otg helper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.shajul.usbotg
I'm using Paragon NTFS but it also doesn't seem to be working as You would like. It kind of unmounts but after connecting some other device, Settings>Storage shows stats of previous one. So I need to unmount and mount again. But it's still a low price for possibility of connecting NTFS devices.
I may be wrong, but I'm of the opinion that the HTC One actually mounts the USB/OTG itself and the other programs attempt to re-mount it to another location (which thy know about) hence, when you unmount it, you only unmount 'their mount' .. the 'HTC mount' is still in place ... hehce the One still thinks that it's mounted ... which it is.
It shouldn't be beyond the kind of devs we have on here to produce a notification for a USB/OTC (click to unmount/mount) once it's detected ad present.
Bump
I would very much like this as well and after a couple of weeks of searching, with detours, side tracks, and no solutions I've finally decided to post about it. The best solution would have been if hTC or Google (?) had included a shortcut to unmount from the settings, so that the user could create a shortcut on the home screen or in their favourite widget (I'm quite liking multicon and widgetsoid, between the two I can open or toggle almost anything from the home screen); as it is it's not even possible to shortcut to the storage page.
The hunt for a solution took me first to the apps store, to find a bunch of root only apps; so naive me (this is my first android phone, indeed my first smart phone) I googled and followed the root instructions from cnet. And it seems I've probably lost all hope of ever returning to stock, PLUS the htcdev bootloader unlocking process actually deleted the stock calculator and flashlight. Silly me, I thought "factory reset" meant what it sounds like, e.g. a factory reset; oh well, I prefer to cross my fingers and ignore warranties anyway :silly:. Then I found out that those apps weren't useful anyway because the stock automount still happens and you actually have to unmount the stock mount point in order to mount with any of them (e.g. stickmount). Stickmount was the closest I got, if I recall correctly nothing else I tried would even mount - I probably didn't try that many, I cottoned on pretty quick that the automount wasn't going to let me go this route anyway. At this point I got side tracked and started playing with other root required apps, but my ham fisted stock + root thing acted funny, with many random root apps I installed to play with unexpectedly restarting the phone. Then I found XDA and I've been lurking, though probably not doing as much reading as I should: thousands upon thousands of pages are a tad intimidating. Now I've got ARHD 71.1, with the toolbox & exposed & XSBM more or less tweaked to my liking and everything running smooth. Stickmount gets closer now: it can mount as well as the system. I started thinking about custom kernels, ntfs support, etc; but with no clear info searching whether kernel ntfs support would even automount, and it still doesn't get me what I want so I think I've had enough poking the system files for now. I just tried 'su' then 'umount /storage/usb/', it appears to unmount but I still get 'USB storage unexpectedly removed' when I unplug, and I can't find a way to create a shortcut without the window persisting (android terminal emulator). Also tried scripter, no idea if it can create shortcuts and it couldn't even run the scripts it created so I uninstalled it pretty quickly.
It comes down to: can I get a shortcut to dismount the stock OTG or can I disable the stock mount to properly use an alternative instead of doubling up? And (looking at you hTC and Google, NOT the XDA community which I greatly appreciate), if not why not? This thing is basically a computer so why is android so limited out of the box?
(Sorry for the long noobish ramble, hopefully I got across what I've tried and why it doesn't work. I'm too tired to reread it again. Perhaps at least this has cautionary tale value?)
Found the widgetsoids command option which works silently, unfortuneately it also fails silently too leaving usb mounted if there's any file operations. Maybe there's a more complicated command I could use then 'umount /mnt/usb/'? I have zero idea where to start, but at this point I want to make an app that can hook into the native process and either send it commands or disable it. I don't suppose there's a newbie guide to figuring out what service is responsible for something and then hacking it?
i tried stickmount on a rooted huawei GR5
it works perfect thank you
A zip containing computerized system voices for android devices. For anyone interested in the idea or for those bored with the default sound schemes.
I know there may be more out there similar to this but I decided to create computerized system voices for android devices. Technically these can be used with just about anything but they were created for the Android specifically. The XT-861 to be exact. Some of the quotes are specific to the device, but most are general system quotes. This is the female set. I am making a male set as well. I will upload when I'm done. If anyone would like to comment or request anything specific don't hesitate to ask. Also, if there are others sets like this, apps, etc. Feel free to post them and share. Enjoy everyone!! Feel free to download share, reup, etc. Just give me credit..
Install Notes:
Some android phone system sounds are in .OGG format others in .MP3
This set contains both formats..
For The XT-861 XT-860 XT-862 devices:
Use Root Explorer or whatever root file and folder browser you prefer.
Navigate to Root/System/Media/Audio
There you'll find multiple folders such as UI, Ringtones, EFI, Notifications, etc.
Navigate to either folder that contains the system sound you would like to replace.
I suggest renaming the default files by simply adding .bu (backup) at the end of the file. Afterward, add the new sound and rename it to match the original (without the .bu of course).
For all other sounds you can use an app called "Light Flow" or any similar alternative. That'll give you much more control over individual sounds.
If there are any questions or help needed let me know!
Do I use the same instructions for my Galaxy S3? A la Root Explorer? Looks pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

Wow that was pretty fast!
Yes, I'm sure the Galaxy media folder is in the same location, some folders may be named differently but this is usually where the system sound folders reside. Just navigate to System/Media/Audio and the folders should reside there. Copy files, rename them accordingly with any root explorer then Reboot. You may have to set permissions to match the original files as well before reboot. It should be rw-r-r.
As far as Light Flow is concerned, I don't see why it wouldn't work on the Galaxy. What sounds lightflow can control depends on your device and what apps you have installed.
Thanks for the thanks and let me know how it goes!
System sounds are found on the SD card and the internal System/Media folder as well. If you have a folder on your SD card, built in or external, labeled "Notifications" or "Ringtones" etc. the android system will recognize them and the files within them will be added to your list when changing ringtones or notification sounds the standard way. As long as they are the correct format of course. So depending on which sounds you intend to use, they should be able to be placed there. Also, some apps have the option to assign a unique ringer or notification sound for that app only within the apps settings. Basically Between the System folder, the SD card folders, Light Flow, Individual app settings and the default sound options in Android you should be able to swap out any and every sound you can hear if you want.
guys.
I got a C variant and its fantastic, but a few things.
How on earth do i create folders in the apps area or move apps inside new created folders, When I long press on an app i want to move it just drags it to the home screen, I want it moved into a folder in the app area, not in the home screen(s)
second, the s pen, with the note 4 you could grab a image or whatnot and it would extract text from this (T was up in the top corner to signify this), you could then email or share the text it extracted from an image. Can the note 5 not do this?
lastly, can you get 2A wireless charge pads or what is the highest output these provide?
cheers.
Q#1--When you open the apps drawer, you need to hit "edit", then you can drag/drop on app on top of another to create a new folder.
I rarely use the s pen, so I can't answer your second question. As far as the third question, wireless charging abides by a Qi standard, so there's only standard charging and the new fast charger.
