Bought and tested and can confirm it works on my galaxy note10.1, ive tested the usb an sd card, still have to test microsd, will update with a nay or yay on micro sd if i get round to it
Just a note, i originally thought id bought a non functional chinese knock, or incompatiible unit, as nothing happened when i initially tried testing my usb and sd, turns out, i had'nt pushed the adapter all the way in, had to put just a tiny bit of pressure for it to go all the way in, and yes as im writing this, i DO see the sexual implication i may have just made

I cant atest to how long they'll last, hopefully a while, time will tell, but overall im happy with it, as it gives the tab a few more extra ports and storage options, something all android tablets should have to begin with as far as im concerned,
Pro
It fits its purpose
Con
The adapter disconnects if you fiddle with it, to much
Theres a side button to switch between usb and card mode, which can be tricky bugger, trying not to accidently disconect the thing
Usb doesnt work with my portable harddrive, i think its to do with the power draw, im assuming this can be fixed with a software update on the samsung side of things, as the tf200 was able to, and perhaps samsung or a dev can do the the same in future, if their so inlined, otherwise, youll probably gonna need external power for harddrives, usb sticks work fine, at least the two different makes that ive tried, freecom and bytestor.
My ethernet to usb adapter doesnt work either, whereas it did on my prime, pretty sure thats a software fix too, whether that happens, is anyones guess

As someone who has bought it, i can totally agree with some the negative reviews, on the thing being flimsy, its what i was trying to describe on my above post with "fiddly".
My take on it, if you want a multiport this will do for the price, budget adapter if you will, you just have to be delicate. If you strapped for cash go for it, if you want an adapter that will last the long run, find another, likely more cash
There was one review on there that said that his didnt work at all, which initially i thought the same with mine, until i realised i hadent pushed the adapter all the way in, you gotta put a deceptive amount of pressure, for it to go all the way in,. Just a heads up to those who end up buying and face a similar situation.
It bugs me that all these adapters seem to come in two flavors: one solid piece so you have 2" of a plastic tab sticking out when its plunged in or if its connected to an adapter the cord coming out from it is straight out the back. Why doesn't someone come with a simple low profile connector with the cord routed on the side (no sticking out the back) minimal profile when plunged into the tablet and a short cord going into a slim USB or HDMI or Card reader? Would work perfect while the tablet is in a case and not pose a possible breakage risk like the all-in-one types do.
Rpmbnsf I agree completely.

As you say, the only way i can see myself buying a premium accessory is, if its a prime like keyboard
Keyboard spec
Usb, the more the merrier
Hdmi out
Sd card slot
Battery extender
Keyboard doubles up as a stand
That would be my ultimate accessory, and id be willing to pay a "fair" price for it, but if one should come out that meets a certain criteria (usb, hdmi, keyboard) and cheap, id go for it, if user reviews are positive

I had been using this one: http://http://www.amazon.com/GrayBean-Connection-Compatible-Capacitive-TouchScreen/dp/B0072FJEA8/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1347172206&sr=1-5&keywords=samsung+galaxy+tab+connection+kit
It'a little bulky but I can connect 3 USB flash drives(Fat32) at the same time and 1 memory card.
The memory card reader can't support 2 different memory cards at the same time but that's not a big thing.
I have working at the same time with no additional power supply a 128GB Lexar memory card, 64GB compact flash drive,
32Gb Microsdhc on a compact usb adapter or a USB transmitter for my Logitec wireless Gamepad.
On the Amazon reviews there is a post about working external hard drives(FAT32) with an additional power supply.

Very nice find :good:
Im tempted to try that one out too. Is the port connector secure, as in, does it come of easily with normal use, or does the tab have to more or less stay stationary while using it?
Thanks for posting that,.

Port connector good so far, treating it with care, been using it for a week. I don't move around with the connection kit dangling from the tablet,
that may reduce the life of the connector.
Hub usb + charger is useful?
Hi, I will receive my G.Note10.1 tomorow and I'm looking for an usb adapter that would be able to charge the device as well, because I plan to use it long hours at my university and I love to use pendrives.
I've found this one, and as I can't post links yet, here is the name for those curious:
"30Pin to USB 3 Port Hub Charger Kit fr Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" - it's in Amazon.com and it's not rated yet.
Has anyone tested it yet? Do you think it's safe to use something like this?
Thanks in advance,
Nimel

I've never had an android phone before (or any smart phone) and I am thinking of a captivate.
Are there any good car mount systems? It would be nice to have a built in charger and maybe speakers/mic.
Thank you.
there was a question about this already, no worries. Theres a member on here that might do a custum one for you. However, seeing how the phone hasnt been released yet, there will be tons of car mounts for it once its legally on shelves.
*eating own words* there was a question on docks not car mounts, my bad. *edit*
got a fairly generic response from the leader in custom car mounts, ProClipUSA today regarding the question I posed them about the Captivate and the awkward charging solution they would have to rig up, here's their reply:
Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. At this time we do not have a Holder for your requested device. We do anticipate making one, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as the Holder has been received at our warehouse and is ready for online ordering.
The Charging might work as with the European version of the Galaxy S Phone:

Yep, I would have to say that's exactly what I'm looking for! They will also offer it without any type of charging solution (picture again is of the international Galaxy S phone):
which will run about $25 if I'm not mistaken (the ones above will run about $75 for the cig plug and $100 for the hard wire, based on past purchases with them), but I had such a hard time trying to wiggle in the power plug EVERY time I inserted my Touch Pro2 to their mount, and that was easily accessed from the bottom - try doing that on the TOP now where it will most likely be in a tough angle mounted up against something in your car...... yeah, I'll just go with the built-in charging solution this time, thanks!
Website to keep an eye on is http://www.proclipusa.com, these pics were sourced from their parent company (or sister? who knows) overseas, http://www.brodit.com/

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=accessories
if you're a little crafty, I used an old iphone case (a stretchy silicone one) and a tom tom mount to make my own. it'll cost less than 10 bucks like that, but if you buy the body glove it'll look much nicer but also cost 25 bucks more and since it's permanently attached to the mount, it would serve one purpose only.
but that coupled with a micro usb charger and I have a slick mount.
jalopnik ran an article on it which gave me the idea

Ohh, read it [too] quickly on the phone. How does that work??? Doesn't look like there's any room for the charger in there and they don't say whether it is hard-wired or a cigarette lighter plug.....
That Sammy official one looks pretty good, but I really can't justify $60 for a car dock. I'd be willing to pay $25-30 for a good one, but that's about my limit, even for something with a built in charger.
Is there a reason nobody's looking into universal car mounts?
On Amazon, you can get a decent looking universal car mount for ~$8, and a USB car charger for around $3.
It just squeezes to the size of your phone, with gravity resting it on the bottom side...
Could you live with this as a low tech Home "Dock" solution?

Does anyone know anything about the Gomadic car vent holder? I've never heard of the company Gomadic before. Do they make quality products?
The particular mount is called "Auto Vent Holder with Car Charger for the Samsung Captivate - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology" on Amazon. It's $39.95.

It looks like a cheap-o universal one with the same type of "TipExchange Technology" that Kensington uses for their laptop chargers - meaning, they give you a $0.02 charger and you can switch out the tips on it to make it fit your device, which this thing doesn't do just by inserting the phones as the other ones above do, and like I said before, this doesn't feel like the device IMO to have to fumble around with inserting the charger into the port - as easy and painless as possible is how this dash mount will go for me!
Not trying to sound conceited or superficial...... but I sure as hell won't have that thing clipped on to the interior of my car! Wait and spend ~ $20 more for a much better solution, I would suggest - it will be worth it to do it right the first time and not have the hassle of sending that monstrosity back to Amazon!
Well I will certainly put in a +1 for www.proclipusa.com
I have used their clip for my Fuze, and now all I need to do is replace the device part. You put in your car type and device type and get a great holder, and for these types of phones you can get a swivel mount to put it into landscape or portrait mode.
worth the purchase imo

Thanks for your opinion. What brand do you recommend - what should I be looking out for?
Just wait for ProClip - they said they are coming out with one, as they do for just about every phone invented, and it will fit like a glove, have built in charging options (see my earlier post), and not take up a lot of real estate on the dash by being so damn unsightly.... Once you buy the car mount, as lordmaxx described, all you have to do is buy new device mounts when you get them! Then buy new car mounts when you buy different cars! It is almost too easy....
You can get pretty creative with mounting solutions too. On my Honda, instead of buying the more expensive swivel mount, I bought just the device mount without charging solution and used longer screws and screwed it right to a closed air vent to the right of the steering wheel, then ran a powered USB cable inside the dash. This way, it was ultra low profile and swiveled with the air vent! One unforeseen benefit of doing it this way was that when I use the phone on long trips with the A/C on, the tiny amount that escapes from the back of the air vent keeps the constantly charged phone cool for the entire duration!
Here's a pic of what it looked like with my OLD TyTN II and Zune 80GB - currently have the TP2 mount installed until the Captivate one is released! The cheap-o outside / inside temp gauge didn't work so well, so that was removed. This was my "work truck" for a while as I was the only vinyl graphic installer for the Marines here in Florida, and needed a "mobile office" as you can see! The untouched air vent on the right side shows you what it looked like before I mounted the ProClip on it! Vehicle is a 2004 Acura RSX Type-S A-Spec (DC5 chassis) for reference.
Thanks for the advice. I'll wait for one!

I stole the micro sd reader from an old phone of mine and was wondering if it'd be at all possible to add it to the motherboard in some way, or if I could make it fit as slimly as possible on the exterior via an otg cable. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587019
but, I wanna know if there's a way I can keep the use of my micro usb port.
This link, http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1, has the entire teardown of the Galaxy Nexus if it will help at all.
Thanks!
You won't be able to add it internally.
Would I be able to snip the male end of an otg cable, solder the wires to the internal female micro usb connector, run the female end out to a usb stick?
I mainly want to be able to maintain the use of the usb cable. That and to not have an inch long stick coming out of my micro usb port like in the link of my first post...
A simple solution: sell ur gnex and buy an S2 or sensation

Had a sgs2 but gave it to a friend. I like the feel of this phone better. Plus, I like having something to do.
I don't understand. You'd rather wire a cable so its permanently dangling off your phone vs buying a detachable USB cable? Maybe mod it into a case?
I like the idea of adding one internally but I dunno man. Maybe to just add and forget. Like maybe soldering a microSD directly to the board?
16gb should be plenty for mobile needs. If you need more, a cloud based storage seems like the better choice here.
I just can't wrap my head around why people feel the need to carry all that data around all the time.

I wanna have something that I can throw my music onto, have all my backups on, have a rom or two thrown on there as well, alongside a couple movies. I'm military and we're currently working 17 hour shifts. I like having plenty of movies, and internet sucks, cloud storage is a no no. Being able to have something I can throw a few movies on in just a few minutes via mass storage and be good to go sounds awesome to me. while yes, I can work something into a case to where I can just use a cable WOULD work, it's a big hassle since that's just more I have to carry around. My cat has also decided that my cables for my phones are delicious. I've lost quite a few in the past few weeks.
Being able to buy the necessary cables and crap would take at least a month to get where I am. The local stores around me really don't delve into ANYTHING technological. I have to order everything online.
I would mainly just like to have something I can transfer stuff to and from within minutes, not hours. If not adding an sd card, please point me to some unseen by me partitioning of the internal memory.
Sorry if I'm ranting. Just explaining myself

Thanks for the link, I'll try and get a hold of the guy and see if there is something we can both come up with to be able to add a micro sd into the phones/tablets. If so, pictures, tutorials, and the whole shabang will be posted.
I don't know if you guys noticed, but if you pry off the battery door you'll notice a big hunk of plastic off to the side of the camera that is shaped suspiciously like a MicroSD card slot that was covered up at the last minute. You can see a similarly-shaped slot fully realized as an actual MicroSD reader on the Galaxy S3.
Basically this proves the Galaxy Nexus had a MicroSD card slot originally, but it was removed from the final design. This detail is strangely overlooked from the teardowns of the device, and I would be curious to see if someone could take a closer look at the mainboard to see if there are four suspiciously unused contacts or pins that you could solder to for putting the card reader back in. I'm just not adventurous enough myself to take my phone apart, and I don't know enough about the electronics in these devices to be able to point out non-obvious things like unused pins.
What do you guys think?
Would be cool if you could mount a external portable 1 terabyte hard drive via micro usb..
Edit: lol i found this app Stickmount made Specially for GNex so you can plug ANY usb drive with an otg cable so guess all my music (about 38500 songs/3.5 months playlist) and my movies collection (about 200 movies) all in my 1 terabyte ext hd usb can come with me now everywhere xD

Most likely not; they're probably just debugging test points, but interesting nonetheless. It's unlikely that this discussion will lead to anything productive, but you make a good point.
Heck, if I could solder in th cables to the micro usb internal port, have a small switch to connect the reader between pins 4 and 5 of the inside, what type of speeds would I be looking at? The person in the kindle forums was able to get the wires soldered, and from my understanding, it showed up temporarily. I haven't really seen anything else coming out of it. I did see that I would require a swich since a usb cable has only 4 wires, but the port has 5, and if I were to solder the 4th and 5th together, I would lose adb, charging, and usb mount on pc. I don't want to lose either of those, but, I do have adb wireless, and extra battery with charger, and I also have the wifi file transfer that works phenomanally.
I'm extremely tempted to just try it to see what happens. Throw stickmount onto my phone, plug a micro sd in, and see the data transfer rate. Possibly do it over this upcoming weekend. If anyone has any tips, advice, a "don't wire this while doing this", that would be awesome.
Hey guys, has someone a fitting dock for the Captivate Glide?
AFAIK there is no official one, but maybe the dock of another, more famous, Samsung phone does fit the Glide also.
Greetings Alex22
Unfortunately, I think we are in lack of luck with the µUSB port on the top. This would constrain to put the phone horizontally on a dock with the docking on one edge.
This must explain the lack of docking station on eBay unlike the batteries' charging stations.
One alternative may be to reproduce this SGS mod : http://www.qianqin.de/2011/09/18/samsung-galaxy-s-wireless-inductive-charging-mod
But I don't know if it is possible with our Captivate Glide.
Here is 1 from Philips http://www.techradar.com/reviews/au...-systems/philips-fidelio-as851-1042940/review unfortunately our phone would be connected upside down. I wonder if there is an app that lets it work upside down?

Back when I used CM for the HTC Dream, I always had the option to enable the screen to rotate 360°.
So I guess it's a ROM thing, but definitely makeable.
But anyways, that's a pretty hefty docking station, and with nearly 200 pounds it's nowhere near my budget.
Lets just hope there'll be more Android Dockingstations to come.
@EMegamanu: Thanks for the link, pretty interesting that you can mod a phone like that. But I'm too afraid and too inexperienced with solderings to mod my phone like that

This looks cool the Dock Boss allows you to plug your android phone into any Ipod dock:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20110799-251/dockboss-plug-android-phones-into-iphone-docks/
OK I doubt it allows you to control the Next track and play/pause but it should charge and route the Music to the device. It plugs to your phones audio connector and the Micro USB to charge.
Here is another dock that looks interesting uses a cable to plug to an android phone so it does not matter where the connectors are located. It also has a nice little Remote:

I like the docking station from thinkgeek. The Price is okay, the design as well, the only thing that I would nitpick about is that you can't just put the phone into the dock, but have to connect both headphone and charging cable to hte phone.
Otherwise than that it's worth the weight for me.
You know, it's a shame that our phones seem to have a cult following almost. Many people don't seem to know about it either. Samsung did great, especially since keyboard phones are going the way of the dodo, and I use a keyboard for gaming and texting anyway.
My only complaint is that there's no hardware camera button, but that's not a deal breaker in the least.
Really missing my Milestone dock.....its the only downside to this phone I can find.
I hate fishing for charging leads

The keyboard and the availability on my carrier made the decision for me. I do a lot of emailing from my phone, and the keyboard is just faster and more precise than even Swype style input options for me.
I did at first miss the hardware camera button from my old WinMo LG eXpo, it was very nifty, but it's not even an issue for me anymore. Is that a common thing among Android phones?
the galaxy s vibrant comes with a charging dock that uses the same corner usb connection. Unsure on the thickness of the phone in comparison to the vibrant though.

Well, I bought one to try out. Wasn't much, only $10 from eBay with the packaging or $13 new. Oh, I'm using a stock AT&T Captivate Glide on the latest update.
Physically, it's fine. Smaller than it looks, actually, covering about 9/10 of the length & 4/5 of the height. The depth is a bit more fudged, covering only the lower half of the slider, leaving the screen half hanging. The main issue is that although the plug is 95% on target, the 5% means you'd have to add a spacer to raise the rest of the phone up a bit. But it definitely attaches without trouble. Nice & compact.
EDIT: Driver: the charging works, though considering it didn't a few hours ago, I'm not sure what changed. Ah, the connector is a tad longer than what fits, so perhaps one must jiggle the phone a bit to get it to work? Though I tried that earlier, too....
Software/driver side is a flop. The Samsung Desk Home application from the marketplace (the generic one) doesn't work. So yeah, no automatic launching or sound out of the dock's line out. It's odd, since the settings has a dock setting in the settings, so something should work. I just wasn't able to find out what. I suppose the dock might have an identifier & the phone isn't coded in?

which docking station did you get? that is 1 thing I don't understand with samsung, why do they make the micro usb connector on the top of the phone? It should be on the bottom, this would be simpler for docking stations to connect and less cumbersome having a wire to conect all the way to the top of the phone.

My mistake, I forgot it's difficult to locate. Here's the Galaxy S used version <ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Multimedia-Dock-Home-Charger-/150629639833> & new version <ebay.com/itm/N-OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-S-4G-Multimedia-Dock-Home-Charger-/160616869990>. If you go through the store, there's the Vibrant & Galaxy S versions, but I'm not sure there are any differences.
Being a horizontal dock, your issue is not applicable, though it's certainly understandable.
Oh right, the clock application already has a dock function, but it doesn't activate upon docking & I couldn't get it to reroute the audio. It does prevent the screen from turning off, so I guess it's not too bad.
Hi would this work with the glue as a basic dock? not sure if the plug is in the right place for this mobile,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...UTF8&colid=2AOM2U1G0O9ZJ&coliid=I9O547D7LLW3P
if not aren't there any Samsung accessories that can be adapted for a dock to charge or hdmi out here's wishing lol.
Atb
That is the amazon location of the dock I reviewed. Everything I've mentioned should apply.
I guess glue would work? As long as it's completely dry, naturally. I used three thin nails in three rows, taped down. Not the prettiest, but at least it matches the blue led.

Hi Thanks for that, where's the link to your review and why were the nails used just to stop it dropping forward of the front of the dock, were there any other mods needed to make it work.
Thanks
Paul
The review is spread over two posts, two & four posts above my prior post with pictures.
I used nails as a spacer as the micro-USB port is a tad bit high. Everything else worked well, though the phone electrical connection to the dock may be finicky at times.
I currently use an ihome desk lamp. The glide sits rather well in the ipod dock, but I have to supply my own power. I was eyeing this the other day too http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ec56/
found it! SGH-i927 HTPC solution
here's what i think we've all been looking for:
this should be all you need to use your Captivate Glide as HTPC (or just use the dock on your night-table/desk, whatever)
iBolt™ MHL Streamer Dock - Black
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.php?divid=Samsung&model=Samsung+Captivate+Glide+SGH-I927&cat=Cradles&skuno=94753
the only actual dock i've found that's listed as compatible with i927, and it comes with cables! i am SO getting that one of these days...
(actually, the compatibility list is quite large, i'm guessing just about any device with MHL will work with this dock)
i happened to find this site about an hour into googling for a glide dock... they have the widest range of sgh-i927 stuff i've found:
http://www.fommy.com/samsung-captivate-glide-sgh-i927.htm
and that's the only place i've found that sells the iBolt dock...
couple that dock with a Bluetooth kbd/mouse combo; something like this:
CE Compass Bluetooth HID Wireless Keyboard Mouse
*edit*
THIS little thing is AWESOME:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-touch-keyboard-k400
I picked one up on sale at Office Depot. Works GREAT and even has a home button.
After using this on windows pc's, android tablets and android phone (USB OTG), I HIGHLY reccommend it to anyone looking for a keyboard with integrated touchpad.
two finger scrolling in windows and android works great.
in case you don't have an hdmi monitor, just an HD hdmi to dvi adapter for ~$5
(if you have to go DVI, chances are you'll need an audio cable to connect to your audio device. for example, my tv is older and doesnt do audio over DVI, but the DVI input has RCA audio inputs right beside it; so i would use a 3.5mm to RCA cable.
Or you may want to run from phone headphone jack to audio line in on your home theatre audio receiver.
Chances are if you need seperate audio cable, either 3.5mm to RCA or 3.5mm double-ended cable would be what you need.)
so that's about $100 to use your phone as a desktop computer or HTPC as well.
I can't wait to try this on my 60" DLP tv....
So, barring software compatibility, it seems possible to put an internal laptop HDD into the shield non pro-model.
The biggest issue is that the shield pro has a ribbon cable and mounting point soldered onto the secondary board that the regular 16gb model does not.

500GB PRO model (image credit user takitoes ):
if you're trying to effectively solder to sata point on the board, better break out the fume hood. i fancy myself pretty handy with a soldering iron - i've pulled off a few JTAG and RGH installations in 360's, but that's not something i think i could do.
Part sourcing
I'm going to actually attempt this when I get my system finished with it's setup.
The parts I'm working with will be a 20pin FFC lobsterclaw from mouser:
<can't do outside links yet, search for: XF2M-2015-1A on mouser.com>
And from ebay an FFC to female sata header, although all I'm seeing now are male and I'm not sure how much clearance I've got inside since I didn't open mine yet.
Other than that, since it looks like there are no pitfalls to be encountered in proprietary pinout or extra circuitry, I'll toss my hat in and give it a try and post the results
Since the pro 500's pic is small there, can anyone tell which orientation pin 1 is, or maybe a larger picture of the adapter.
edit: can delete.

photo of adapter
I can't seem to find a close up photo of the adapter anywhere at all.
Since I bought the 16GB, and I don't know anyone else with a 500, it'd be great if someone could share a nice high res photo of the adapter cable.
I can put the ffc connector on there, and assume that the orientation is correct since I'm sourcing the same type of ffc connector with the claw to the back, but since I'm not keen on burning out a hdd by doing a reverse sata hookup and sending power into the data port, I'd rather not move forward without a picture.
I suppose I can probe out the pins once I have an ffc cable in there.... ugh.
Just for informations, nothing special. I appreciate your work.
From Android M every external HD or external sd card can expand your real internal storage. And it work very very well. We also have usb 3 so it can be also better.
I already tested this functionality on the Nexus Player and i assure you that will solve all your problems also with a bad read / write external storage.
For the moment i use the app foldermount that can save all my apps and games on an external sd card.
I have no doubt Google has the storage situation addressed in M, but who knows if M will ever make it to the shield outside of a custom rom. I like the way the device works now, that's the only reason I'm investing time into it, when I ignored all the other devices.
So far, this device alone is reducing my electric bill by replacing a noisy full desktop that I was using to run XBMC, I found the Pi to be too underpowered for my needs.
Shame that each new android revision is snubbed by most manufacturers in order to sell new hardware, but that's the lifecycle of electronics.

I'm hoping NVIDIA continues their method from the past as they're currently about to release an update to lollipop for the shield portable which was released on July 31rd, 2013 and shipped with Android Jellybean 4.2.1. If they continue this trend for the shield android tv, I expect we'll see android M on it

Considering how good nvidia has been about bringing updates so far and the fact that they keep their systems almost fully stock, I have faith we'll have M before the end of the year (within a month or two of M being released)

Im in to see progress of this mod
:good:
Something I'm curious about here. Can someone on the 16GB model boot my twrp build and see if /sys/devices/platform/tegra-sata.0 exists? I expect it will be and that means that this mod is possible. Though, it would be somewhat of a hack to chainload the boot to a sata hdd.
I've been doing some research on the opposite. On the pro model, the emmc is actually there, but is flat zeros (like binary diffing a dd of it and a dd of the same size from /dev/zero returns no differences). So it appears to me that the bootloaders (like pre fastboot bootloader) are looking at the internal media specific to the model. Like I said above, it should be possible to chainload back and forth. But for me, I'll likely just format and mount the unused emmc for extra storage (and likely faster r/w). Also, standard disclaimer that I haven't tried this yet, so don't blame me if you try something and it perma-bricks your device.

Damn, the entire cable is matte black, I was hoping I could figure out the orientation of the pins. I suppose I can guess based on that if the pins are straight through, but it looks like there's 22 total pins in a sata connection and 20 in the FFC connector.
Any chance you can give me a really close zoom of the conductive end of the FFC cable that plugs into the board so I can see if they skip pins or combine pins to isolate the signal?
Status update: I'm still waiting for the SATA board from china/ebay to assemble this, in theory I can just use a soldered off header from a junk board like ps3, or something to do this, but I wanted a clean solution with as few parts/wires as possible so it fits neatly inside.
More than likely by the time I assemble something, Ebayers will probably be posting a "replacement" cable for it.
I did already get the FFC connector installed, that was a piece of cake. I'll take pictures of it as soon as my wife stops watching Mad Men on netflix.
My hopes for this are just more addressable internal storage, not necessarily being able to boot off the hard drive.
let me know, with a closer look at the board, i think i could handle that soldering job
Did that project go anywhere? I'm very interested in doing this also if is worked.
I might be super lazy but is this cheaper and easier than just buying the pro model? What benefit does this have over going pro?
You can add in an ssd potentially that's bigger than 16gb and therefor better performance. It would also cost less if you were me and have a 120gb ssd laying around.
Has anyone addressed the issues with getting the hard drive partitions to be recognized by any software/OS and cloning the drive? This would seem to me to be the first step required before figuring out solder points, etc.
Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk
Seeing as I and the OP have the non pro, would be harder for us. That being said, I don't want it to replace the 16gb is possible, so even if it's not bootable no biggy as long as it sees it and I can put files an there.

You mean 3.5" audio jack? Yes it was working with myremoconx app and a selfmade jack to IR adapter. But sadly after I updated to cm13 it s no more working,and I don't know why. I can see the led blinking when I try to press a button (using a camera...I can see infrared,I m not a superhuman),but my TV doesn't react as when I had cm12.1. It could be something caused by audio latency? Or something else? I tried many times but can't find an answer. I only know that it was working great,I even build my own ultra small jack to ir adapter ,big no more than 3 mm over the plug ( I used smd ir LEDs) . And one month ago I received from China a device that is made for iPhone and it s small like the one I build but with on and off function,so you can keep it connected every time,led light power is even stronger than my diy project. Now to bypass the problem I ordered from China a zazaremote microusb to ir ,but I don't t know if it could work on nexus 5 (almost sure it will work) ,and sadly it s bigger than the other options...
Are there anyone interested in investigation about the problem

Zazaremote app and his micro USB device are working great... You can even clone a remote from the original,and create a mixed one. You can find it in aliexpress for cheap. This is the best devide I could find, forget about the audio to IR devices , you will not regret

I got mine yesterday, paid around $7 for it with shipping on eBay. Works great. The ability to diy a remote by cloning the signal is priceless.

Now, besides the (...) option on the diy, how can you fit so many buttons for so many things on the screen? Or do you only create a power button?

I have it and I wouldn't carry the Nex with the remote attached as you could potentially damage the charging port. The remote itself doesn't fit properly with my spigen case on it, I'm sure the same applies to other cases. Love the diy remote learning feature though.
