It's technically our fault. We call the Android OS programs, roms. ROM is any read only memory. About as close to rom that they get is static ram with a nand lock. So yeah it could be confusing. Old hand held stuff really had rom chips in them. Rom burners and erasers would would manage the contents of the chips. They still exist in our phone, but probably in the form of programmable arrays which point to boot sequences for the IC devices in the phones. But that's a guess.
So there's room for a gracious over look.
I use an external dvd recorder with my evo. Using this setup, I can easily burn the contents of my sd card onto the dvd. You should try it...

dude, there is no similarity between a cd-rom and phone rom. the difference:
rom is read only memory. cd's are READ ONLY and have MEMORY so they are known as a cd-rom (or compact disc read only memory). our phone's rom is supposed to be read only, but by rooting it we are able to write to it, so it is no longer technically rom, but we still call it that.
does that help?

Our phones have Samsung kby00u00vm-b450 NAND pre-installed from factory.
With all frequent flashing and wiping, I am worried about how long this NAND will last and does it have a limit on read/writes/wipes.
I am looking for someone to develop an app which analyzes health of the NAND and also possibly predicate number of read/writes completed and remaining.
Any thoughts/ideas??
Ummmmmm....no offense intended but are you serious?
The only way to analyze the "health" of memory would have to be something along the lines of an app that would be able to determine bad disk sectors.
There really isn't a way to just say "Hey, you have a hundred writes left and then kiputz." Its just not feasible....
I could be wrong though....
~Jasecloud4
LMAO.. Funny... i have never thought about it in terms of an app, but i have often wondered if there is a limit to how long the NAND would last... i am a flashaholic!!

all RAM has read write limits, and likely flashing/wiping every damn day (like some of us) was not taken into account when creating android phones.
actually not a terrible idea, something like SMART status would be kinda nice...
typical "ram testing" type applications for PCs would not work because they actually read/write to the sectors, and of course we dont want that... hm.
and likely it would have to be run in recovery too.
also, for future reference, try posting this kinda stuff in the Q&A, or general threads.
Every nand is good for exactly 9999 flashes, so just start keeping track of flashes.

It does not have to be Android app, it could be low-level memory management/analyzer that could be run from recovery or just from PC.

Yes, something in recovery would be nice, which at least can assess number of good/bad sectors.
Also, if all of the devs agree on a common format, then with each flash or wipe, a cookie/text file can be updated to the SD CARD to reflect dates of all flash/wipes.
Since this is a development request I posted in this section, I know the general rules.

Ok, I will need to get hold of him.
Challenge would be to get everyone (all developers) buy into this common format or something which can really keep track of flash/wipes.
The way we flash is safe, the whole nand corrupt thing correlates to something like a jtag xbox. When I flash through with a lpt (printer) cable, you have to watch the nand, the way we do it is safe and nothing to worry about. If it were an xbox itS recommended to flash as few to one as possible to prevent damage, flash away!
The nand has about 10000 write cycles. If you flash twice a day on average thats almost 15 years.

You know what? This IS a really good idea! I've noticed that all 5 of the EVOs I've gone through (dont ask, long story) have had diminished performance the more I flash... I've grown past flashing EVERY ROM I see, and stuck to a really reliable ROM, and outside of a bad camera sensor (EVO #6 on the way) this one has performed flawlessly. I tried un/rerooting a few times, and that cleared bad/conflicting code, but didn't completely address the issues I was having... not until now did I think about connecting these dots. That being said, 1: THANKS for the eye opener!
2: I'd buy this app! (as I think many devs/ROM free basers would)
Nice work!

Check out ROM Manager. When you click on flash cwm recovery it tells you what phone you have and asks you to confirm it. I don't know if it works for all phones but I can confirm it correctly identifies my phone as a CDMA Evo and correctly identifies my Nook Color.
doesn't recognize my nook color! it keeps calling it a encore, wtf!
Thread moved to Q&A.
When I had the OG DInc, I was using Conaps "DualRom" multiboot solution and was running 4 or 5 roms on my phone at a time. Which is great for someone like me who loves to flash different roms pretty much daily.
Anyways.... I did a little searching and everything regarding dual or multi booting I could find for the DInc2 generally suggested using BootManager, which is an app on the market and is not free. Call me cheap, or whatever, but I prefer open source and free apps. Back on the OG Inc someone had written a guide on how to do this without needing any fancy app, though it was long and tedious it worked quite well.
Does anyone know of a writeup for our phones for installing multiple roms?
Will ROM manager suit your needs?
I use ROM manger to boot all the ROMS i want. IDK If thats what your asking for but if you want a paid android app then do a google search.

Well if thats the case, then I am gonna try evolving the guide for doing it manually on the DInc to the DInc2.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be that hard to go off the guide for the OG DInc. Mostly what would need to be changed is the mount points, assuming they use different mount points on the DInc2.

i got a mac a couple months ago and subsequently discovered the world of rooting/flashing roms/etc. because trying to sort it out on the macpro was above my attention span, i've been doing it on a work comp; but i don't want/need to do that any longer. sooo...
what are my simplest/least expensive options for a machine to use for working on the phone? it would really only be used for that purpose and probably backups/storage.
tablet? inexpensive laptop? hammer and nails?
what ideas have you?
thanks.
moderators: i tried to start the same thread last night as the site went down. i see only the thread title in q&a, but couldn't even reply to it to expand upon my questions. pl delete original thread. thanks.
Basically, a laptop; you COULD use a tablet, just for the internet to download roms, but you can't root, ect WITH it. So getting a cheap windows based laptop would be your cheapest route.
any specific suggestions? are we talking base model what ever at w*mart or something more? i'm a little out of the loop on what i'd need.

Depends on the quality of your DVD and the burner... most consumer-written DVD-R's are only reliable for a couple years (3-5) before oxidation starts messing with the data.
Same with CD's... 1 of 5 music CD's (Memorex or Verbatim) that I burn (usually no faster than 8x) last about a year with regular use before they start skipping.
Not that a PHONE backup would be useful even a month later...
I would buy special archive-quality DVD's if you are storing family pics on them. I wouldn't trust them on a disc from a 100 disc platter that cost $20.

Is this something that is tricky or not?
Really. I want to know. I'm done with the Note 2 if I can't use the expandable storage option the way I assumed that I could.
I will go back to using the iPhone because I never had any problem with it in terms of what I could do with it in regards to what movies and music I put on there. For example,if I wanted to listen to a .flax recording, I just downloaded Flac Player (actual name) and side loaded the onto my device via iTunes.
All this time I thought that Apple was the control freak and that Android was the libertarian choice. Ha ha ha ha! The joke is on me.
I got this Note 2 and after rooting & roming, I've got 3 Gigs out of 16 and I don't even know where most of it is even allotted. Oh yeah,I know, I know. Everyone has their app that will fix this. Tried them all,I'm getting a bit cynical now.
I've got a genuine micro sd card in the phone external and it has a capacity of 32 Gb. When I move movies into it, then try to watch them, nothing. And if I try to transfer it to the internal storage, the movie still won't play. And the movies and music are getting deleted somehow along the way on both the internal and external cards.
Screw Mr Android Samsung (and Microsoft too), I want my iPhone back.

You should also take a look at folder mount in the play store. I found it more reliable to only move specific folders from the internal to external storage. The app itself is simple to use although it still requires root.

Its got to be a faulty micro SD card. I thought that if I bought one from a seller based out of the US everything would be fine as I got it off of eBay,
I'm going to swing by walmart later and get a name brand card.
With my current card, I'm hoping that its a faulty one. Because as it stands, if I try to transfer from either the internal storage to the external or vice versa,the information becomes corrupt and will no longer play.
Things should not be this difficult. Smart phones, phablets, all-in-ones, these things are computers more powerful than the ones used in the moon landing. Yet those of us that would love to at least try to use more of their potential are often hampered because of the greed involved in content providers and copyright bull**** and for the love of all that is holy, manufacturers should be neutral. They should not be in bed with content providers that are influencing the way the devices are made!!!
Can you imagine buying a brand new car and being told that it will only accept one brand of gasoline? Picture yourself buying a new car and finding out that ExxonMobile had a deal with the car maker so that the car would only accept their brand of fuel? You couldn't use Chevron, you couldn't use Sunoco or any of the other brands...
This is what's going on with the big companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung...
I really don't get what you mean. You can use any brand of sd card you wish.
However, if you purchase from any non reliable supplier expect to buy a fake. I bought a 16gb card on Monday from amazon but I mistakenly bought it from their market place and I'm 99% sure it's fake. That's my error which is compounded by the fact that I normally only buy them from amazon direct for exactly this reason. That doesn't make it Samsung, apple, Microsoft, God or even Kenny Rodgers fault.
So, sorry but, I don't really get your point. But yes it does sound like you have a faulty card. Just be happy you have a note 2 and so are able to simply by a replacement.

I went and got another card at Walmart and it did turn out to be a faulty card that was causing the problem.
What I meant earlier when I talked about manufacturers being in bed with content providers was that when you get a certain product sometimes it will not do what you wanted to do because of dumb copyright laws.
I'm sure you're familiar with the problem that many smart phone owners have had in dealing with trying to transfer apps to an external card. This is because content providers do not want the apps that are for purchase to be traded off.
There are many instances where things like this happen every day and the technology world.

Ah Ok. I got ya now. Yes jb saw us unable to move the data to sd. I never knew the reason for it but now you've explained it it makes sense, thanks.
But I guess we are lucky to be on this forum as for us we can use directory bind or better still the memory swap mod.
Glad you got your sd card sorted.
In answer to your first question yes the memory swap mod does work. I've been using it for about a month. I used directory bind for about 3 months before that. That is alot more fiddly but you can move individual apps with it instead of everything.
Try flashing a custom rom with the mod baked in just because you can.

Wtf are you going on about?
Whatever, you can try formatting your card in your phone. It's is possible your sd card is faulty of course.

Seriously, lay of whatever it is you're smoking. Don't go blaming the phone because you don't know what you're doing - maybe you shouldn't be rooting if you aren't comfortable with what it implies.
The missing internal storage is likely because you flashed multiple times without wiping the underlying partitions. I had a similar issue using mobile odin. Try using the PC Version with a complete factory wipe from recovery first.
