I've been using aoip v1.6 by team insomnia rom and it is really cool with its scroling effects and this rom is really fast.
I want to swap the sdcard like i did before with the other rom by changing from 0 to 1 in build.prop. But when i tried to saved the changes that i made in the build.prop, it wont save it.
Is there anyway to swap sdcard in this rom?

ok lets try to do this
download root explorer HERE
put it in your sd-card and install it
use it to edit your build.prop
it works.....i saw 'mounted as r/o' and change with r/w and then edit build.prop, it works like charm.
but what is the difference between r/o and r/w?

nice :good:
r/o = read only, you cannot modify, move or delete files.
r/w = read/ write, you can modify , move and delete files.

First You Need
-Rooted Ace
-Root Explorer
Make sure your own sound is ogg file, otherwise you must convert it
then move your ogg file into sdcard
Open Root Explorer, go to /system/etc
if you found poweron.ogg, copy it into sdcard for backup
then go to your sdcard to move it /system/etc
just replace it
Reboot your phone and you can hear your new startup sound!
Enjoy
And for disable this poweron.ogg sound, just delete or move it for backup

Is it only me that actually like the power on sound? Hahahaha.
Must've been only me, but my poweron file is not on .ogg format, it's .snd
nothing happened..can u give more detailed way to change it...
err..
so i checked and no poweron.ogg then i realised my current rom doesnt have one XD so i decided to just paste my own (Nyan Cat lool) but it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is read only" is this something to do with rfs and ex4 or is it because my current rom? (my rom is SanGingerAce v1.0)
Help plz!!

You must mount the system in read/write mode. Press the r/w button at the top before pasting.
thanx!!
What if I'm using CM7? Why can't I change my boot animation sound?
how about file limitations?
How about SIZE limitations and duration? does it have any ?
*YOU guys can use your own MP3 file and convert using FormatFactory , it's the best tool !

Hi
Do you have to buy rootexplorer from the market?
Got as far as cm7 so far
You can use free root explorers like Yaffs Explorer made by one of Defy CM7 devs, or Super Manager. Both are available for free on Android Market.
Hi ok downloaded yaffs.
Download the software and put the system folder into my root of the sd card what do I do next?
Can anyone help still stuck....
Hi mate. You need to put them in the system on your phone not SD card. Put them in the directories exactly the same as the zip file. Ie copy paste to those directories

Thanks for that !
However still not working I open the system file on my sd card , copy bootmenue file, then go to system on phone then mark the original bootmenue file and paste , did that for both files but still asking me for a code to use another sim card !
What I did was copying just the specific files inside of the folders:
init.mapphone_umts from 2nd-init from bootmenu
and
bp_ptc from bin
Now make sure to press Mount R/W in the top of the android file system.
Hope it helps...
dealstokie I suggest to wait someone more experienced to do it and test it otherwise you might softbrick your Defy. Meanwhile you can look for alternate (not free) methods to unlock your Defy as this might be cheaper than buying a new Defy.
I'm lucky and I have an unlocked Defy therefore I'm not so eager to try it, but maybe you are lucky too and there will be someone brave enough to do it.

All I can do is wish you good luck and good night (I'm tired now, really).
P.S.: try repeating same copy/paste steps with the same locked sim card inserted while turning the phone on/off say two times in a row and see what happens, might help, dunno...

You do know r/w is read and write right? It being on r/w should let you write or make changes to the internal system. There has to be another reason why the tweaks your trying to apply aren't working. Maybe another file is interfering with your changes

All the files in that folder have readonly atttibutes set r--r--r--. Try copying the files to some folder in the sdcard, change them, then move them back to the folder and set the same permissions as before.

Hi guys!
The "file" you are trying to edit is not a file, but sysfs node.
To set or read a value you do this:
adb shell
su
cd /d/regulator/8921_usb_otg
echo 1 > enable
etc...
try to set max_uV to USB voltage which is 5V, it's in uV so:
echo 5000000 > max_uV

I just switched from my M7 to the M8 yesterday. I was excited to have the external SD for saving pictures, moving apps, but mostly to host my backups. I have since unlocked my bootloader and rooted the device. Unfortunately I'm unable to write any back ups through TWRP to the card. I was wondering if anyone found any fixes? I've already tried SDFix but it seems not to work with our device. Any help would be appreciated!
Sidenote: I know this probably belongs under development but I'm unable to post yet as my post count is too low. Thanks again!

You will need to edit platform.xml file in/system/etc. Are you comfortable ?
I'm not sure. If there was a tutorial that was available I could possibly follow it. Otherwise is this something that could be included in future rom builds? I wouldn't mind waiting.

Look for nextapp's SDFix in the play store.. Root and system write protection off is required. It basically edits the file for you (also backs up the original)

the quick way? go to the module thread in Original development and follow the instructions. You'll have to do it at every boot though unless you're on a rom that supports init.d support. If you're on stock I made a guide to disable it on boot automatically without init.d support

I tried it again using "su". I'm pretty sure that is what I used the first time as well because when I entered the command the super user prompt came up to allow access for terminal. Same results. Didn't see any confirmation. Exited app and tried running SDFix and failed again. I then followed your link to your thread and followed step by step. Got all the way to the point where I was trying to save the text document at the end and got the prompt that I could not save the file.
I'm usually pretty good at following tutorials and I'm sure I'm not skipping steps but who knows. I think this one has me defeated lol.
If you put it on your SD card try just /sdcard/wp_mod.ko

Sure. Here it is:
You need to make following change to platform.xml in /system/etc.
Add <group gid="Media_rw"/> under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE(or similar).
Save. Set Permission to rw-r-r or 644.

Well I ran through both tutorials (yours and the others) once again. Entered the command twice to confirm and got the message "failed file already exists". So I'm assuming that part went through fine but still unable to run SDFix successfully or edit the install_recovery.sh file. Wouldn't allow me to save through es text edit or the standard one.
So now I'm trying to manually change the platform.xml file. When I navigate to system/etc I don't see any file named "platform.xml". Also tried a search through es file explorer and couldn't find any file. Any thoughts?

Are you mounting it as r/w in the file explorer? It doesn't seem like you're doing that. I know the module works.. You can't just install the module and it's magically writable.. you still have to make it r/w in a file explorer before you make any changes. I don't use es. I use root explorer and there is a r/w button on top.

As of now recovery doesn't support exfat formatted cards, If your sd card is formatted as exfat it will fail in recovery. You need to either format your external sd card to fat32 or just wait until the recovery is updated to support exfat. It will once they get kernel source code

How far out do you think that is? I was figuring I could just get a cheaper card for my backups. Only thing is if I remember correctly Fat32 only supports up to 4GB files correct? I remember my backups being a tad over that so getting another card might not even make a difference.
