[Q] Zinio? - Acer Iconia Tab A100

Is anyone using Zinio with their A100? If so, how do you manage your memory? I need to free up some memory or move it to the SD card but do not know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You might want to take a look at the SD mount swap by crossix. It mounts your SD card as internal, so if you have a 32gb card you get 32gb internal storage. Well after formatting and android taking space its like 29gb but you get my point. Here's a screenshot of it running on mine, note internal storage.

Yeah it seems to be tricky for some people to get going. I'll assume you use an Acer based ICS and not CM9 like I used for my screenshot, but download the zip, extract the install-recovery.sh file, paste it into /system/etc so it looks like /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then set permissions, uncheck every box, save. Re open permissions and set it to
XXX
XXX
XXO
Save.
Reboot, wait a minute. Like seriously a minute, not a few seconds. Then check storage. Depending what file manager you use you will have to mount system as writable, in root explorer its a R/W button up top, in ES file manager its in settings, check root explorer, allow root, mount system as writable check box. Others may be different but I've uses those two and it works.
If you use CM9 its different, but I can walk you through that method as well.

You could manually move the files from /sdcard/com.zinio.mobile.android.reader to /mnt/external_sd, but when you try to access the magazine again from Zinio it will redownload the files to the original location. If you do not have an available internet connection, then the pages will display as all black. There is not a single file that you can select to open the magazine in Zinio, the magazine is downloaded as seperate apdfs, jpgs, and html files.

Thanks, I tried it again, and I still cannot get it to work, maybe I'm an idiot...

I've run it on two cm9 releases every flex reaper and taboonay, always works doing as I mentioned. I assume your /system is rw if you put it into /system/etc. Other option is script manager to run it on boot, that's how I use it in cm9.

lost internal memory

so my wife's gs3 was stock rooted...made backups of everything including a nandroid. everything was on the internal memory. i've flashed carbon rom and now cannot seem to find anything. internal appears to be what was on her sdcard. yet when i go into settings-storage sdcard is greyed out without an option to mount. connecting to a pc only gives me one option to connect to. i can't even restore the nandroid. it's been a while since i've been off of a nexus personally so i'm hoping this is something easy i've overlooked and any help is appreciated, thank you

All your files are intact, they have just been moved around since you flashed the carbon rom.
If you had any nandroid backups they are intact too.
Read the following article and you will see exactly where they are using a file manager like root explorer.

thanks...i'm aware of the recovery issues going into 4.2....and i've been using a root file manager. yet i'm still unable to find any other storage. i didn't wipe it but this was probably the first time i didn't save everything to the pc before flashing. i have so much crap backed up from her previous phones that i will never need. f+cking murphy's law...and while i could be mistaken, this shouldn't have an effect on the sdcard not being able to mount, no?

This information should be accurate enough for OP to find his files.
The SD cards have a lot of symlinks in Android. The one true path for your internal SD is /data/media. Your files are there.

hmm....this always confused me now...i do have the sdcard0 available but not sdcard1 (completely empty)...is 1 the actual sdcard? bottom line, there are other pictures of hers i'm not seeing now and rom toolbox is telling me there is nothing backed up as far as text messages. where ever they're located be it sdcard or internal i just need to find them.

/data/media/ is honestly all you really need to know.. Every single folder/file that exists within your internal storage lie within that directory. Once you find what you're looking for you can take it from there.

Do you have TWRP? You can navigate the same directories using the file manager there or you can simply go into Settings > Storage and look through the categories in which are taking up the most space and remove what you can to then download a root browser and go from there.

Prioritizing boot order

I am running kebbersrom_cmflex1.5 with the script to swap internal memory with sdcard.
My problem is that several programs start before the script is run, this causes a problem as these programs access the internal memory and not the sdcard thus not finding their data.
My question is how might I prioritize things so that the script runs before everything else.
I set the script up using smanager, with boot and root checked.
Any help or ideas would be great.
Thanks

You could manually add a call into the ramdisk so it should run on early init, placed after storage but before the rest of init. You'll need to open the boot.IMG make the changes then put it back together then fastboot flash it on.
Alternately and probably easier is set it up for init.d use, it'll start later but run before any app can so anything as its still during the sys init.
Both can cause boot to hang, so make a backup first.

This sounds promising. How might I go about setting it up for init.d use?

Depends on the script you're using, placing it in /etc/init.d and naming it something like 99swap may work.

Has to be in init.d not just /etc to be picked up. Iirc the mounts aren't correct since its for ICS, this may be part of your issue.

I tried the one for JB. Problem was upon restoring my programs none of them could see their data as the JB script uses sdcard0, all my previous programs were set to look for /mnt/sdcard.
And crossix's script works, as that is what I was using with my previous rom. The only problem I have is the script didn't load soon enough. Hopefully moving it to init.d will change that.
Do I need to drop the .sh on the end of the script when I move it?
Thanks

Well init.d scripts don't usually have extensions, so drop it and see if it works, or leave it on and see, just experiment with it.

So I went ahead and copied it into the init.d folder.
Seems to almost work.
Boots up seeing the sdcard as the internal memory.
But both evernote and swiftkey seem to load first. They seem so far like the only two.
So I've lost all my notes from evernote even though I still have them all. :'(
And I can't find anyway to redirect evernote to the sdcard to pick up my notes. Just errors out.
swiftkey says that my language packs can't load.
If there was a way to redirect evernote it would all be livable. Even if I had to redirect it every time I reboot.
I've rebooted several times and doesn't seem to change anything for evernote.
I suppose I'll have to uninstall it and then re install it to see if that works.
Thanks

[Q] Two Internal Memory Slots???

For some strange reason i have the normal internal memory but also another one under the 0 folder inside of the internal memory. So now i have excessive memory lost because i have two of everything plus some other files/folders inside each memory unit. This is real confusing for me but i noticed it started after i installed JellyBeer, i switch back and forth between JellyBeer and stock and Vectus. Vectus and stock both use the same memory but jellyBeer has its own little thing goin on. TWRP also uses the second 0 folder as its main instead of the actual main one, ES Explorer uses the main one, SMS Backup And Restore uses the second one, MyBackup Root uses the main one after i set it to, and on and on with apps that deal with files. Only one that works right no matter what is music, even download folder is wrong. Any suggestions???, if u understand what im trying to say. Also theres another copy of everything in the data/media folder. So in total i have 3x as much space token from me.
Very well documented, you should search it.

Surprisingly I had the same issue. It was reading from two different spots but when I plugged into a computer it only read from one, I couldn't save all my stuff cause I couldn't get to it. The only way fix it is unroot back to stock and reroot the device. That's what I did anyway, and it fixed it. I think its from flashing ROMs cause it never happened before I gave cm a try. I hope this helps in any way.

The 0 folder is a feature of AOSP ROMs. It has something to do with the multiple user support of JB. When you flash an AOSP rom, it will create a "0" folder for that specific ROM. Even with an app like Root Explorer, getting into the standard SDCard folder will be basically impossible. I personally have not found a way to do this, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I could. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. If you flash a Stock ROM, a la Lifeless 14, you can go into any and all "0" folders. If you take the time, you can go into each and every one and delete it without any harm to your phone without having to do a factory reset.

just to throw it out there flash the original stock rom before going to lifeless... if you dont its not gonna work out well and u just have to be rooted all in all to see the "0" folder...

[Q] Invalid path of SD card

Im running Quantum V3, 4.4.1 KitKat on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. Last night I played around with phone, unmounted SD card cuz I needed to check my battery drainage. After I remounted it, ESfile explorer says that sdcard1 has "Invalid path". Even tho in settings > storage, it shows that there is sd card and how much space there's left on it...
I did a clean flash of the ROM before if that matters. I don't wanna reflash it and arrange all the apps all over again...
Also when I check the sd card through the app folders, aka in storage/sdcard1, it shows files and everything. What could be the issue that I cant get it to work?

Probably one of the bugs with the latest update by PwnCakes. Maybe you didn't unmount properly, or try formatting the sd card and plug it in again?
I have the same exact thing.
Sigh, at least I'm not alone xD
And I didn't try formatting, got 27 gig stuff on my SD card and unfortunately no space on HDD to copy all the stuff :/
Shame I ain't got enough posts to reply in PwnCakes thread...
I think it might actually be a bug within the rom itself OR ES file explorer. I had this bug since I think a few releases ago
I have the exact same problem. Under "device", i have two copies of extSDcard. I also get the "invalid path" when i tap on sdcard1. I guess i'll wait for a fix, as i don't want to uninstall ES File Explorer, and reinstall, just to lose everything.

Temporary ES File Explorer Workaround for SD Card and Ext SD Card
Sorry it took so long. Just got done finals and had to get the bus. Below is the settings that you guys can use to make it almost as if nothing was wrong with ES.
Set your directory settings for Home to the External SD Card
Change the default window settings to the following: Sdcard, Home, whatever else you want loaded AFTER these
This will make it so that the first loaded 'window' of ES is the device's internal memory. Then it will load the external SD card as the second 'window'. As long as you check it in the proper order, it will load just fine.

I'll be honest with you. I check play d store almost daily to see if there is anything new with ES. I don't know. It might be a problem with the selinux transition from 4.3 to 4.4. It could be a million things but I think its just some back end code for the file system. :/

All I know (without looking up the exact wording) is that in permissions.xml is a line for read external storage and that line is set to media/mnt/sdcard instead of storage/sdcard1.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 7" Swap ExternalSDCard 2 Internal

Title basically says it. I bought my wife a galaxy tab 2 about a year ago and used the guide from the link below to swap the internal memory with the sd card memory. I bought myself the galaxy tab 3 7" and have been looking for a tut to do the same thing. I haven't found anything that seems to work though. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

The script is pointing to the wrong location for SD card Dev/block/vold/179:25. If you are familiar with Odin and comfortable with the possibility of bricking or rendering your tablet unbootable, try editing that to 179:17 and running the script. I don't guarantee that will work, but that is the address of my ext SD running cm11 on a sm-t310.
Yours may be different on a 210. Run mount from terminal and hunt for the 179:XX for sdcard1 and verify before trying though.

I have edited the script to work with SM-T310 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607125. Post there your device node and I can edit for other Galaxy Tab 3 devices.

If you do make that change it will wok. I have it running on my sons now overloaded tab3 kids. Using 32g card.o
Edit: I changed it to 179:73. Works well. Many large games running fine.

Could you give me a little more guidance on doing this? Basically just follow the tut in my first post but change the script to point towards the sd card?
Thanks a bunch for your help.

Yeah, just follow all the directions except edit those two characters IN THE SCRIPT. I've used this script with smanager perfectly on my old p3113, so thought I might get it to work on my sons.

Just a couple more questions if you don't mind:
Mine is a galaxy tab 3 sm-T210/sm-t21or. Does that change anything?
As long as I have a backup in twrp, i can always restore (in case something is royally screwed up), right?

I would test it and see if it works, then if it does, have it set to run at boot, but a backup never hurts. I just backed mine up before testing blackhawk kernel, which worked well on the kids tab3.

I didn't know that, I found out what my sons was while trying to use the internal2external app, as it lists all the mounts. I was half a sleep for my other posts, or I would of caught that last night. Anyways, good to know.

Run the command "mount" without quotes in terminal . Look for your sd card
And which device address it's using. Verify that 170:17 is your device node.

So I mounted ran "mount" in terminal emulator and it refers to anything on my external sd card as 179:73. (@zibrah3ed sorry I didn't catch that in your first post)
So I guess that's the number I need.
Thanks for your help guys.
I did it and it worked perfectly. Having one gta game on my phone no longer prevents me from installing other apk's. Thanks for all your help. I'm sure this will be useful to a lot of people with 8gb of internal memory.
I was wondering if you got it working. I noticed there is not much information about these tabs, compared to the tab 2, which is the last gtab I had. I bought my sons kids tab assuming it would have similar support. All that was really important was root/recovery and some sort of memory swap, as I loaded it with many of the games I have on my 32gb tab. I took back a nabi because sometimes the memory swap I was using wouldn't stick on reboot, and getting it going again would be to much for my 4 year old. Anyways, glad you got it going.

did you type "mount" into your terminal to determine which number points to your sd card?

yeah, that is the same as mine. and it worked for me instantly. I have a 32 gb card, so maybe your 64 gb card is the issue. I wish I could help you more, but I'm just not too knowledgeable about this stuff.
Maybe one of the guys that helped me could jump in?
Good Luck

First of all you need to be rooted. Then you need to grant es file explorer superuser permission when it asks. then you go into /data folder. You should see a lot of files/folders in there. If you can't you probably aren't using es file explorer as a rooted user. Then you long select the script and select properties. then change permissions by checking read, write, execute (all 3 should be checked) under the owner option. Then so to smanager and continue the tut
