Expandable Memory [Solution] - Will it really work? - Nexus 4 General

A lot of questions about Getting the N4 in 16GB or in 8GB are being asked and many are hating on Google for not providing an expandable memory slot.
I was just browsing and i read this somewhere : http://www.indiegogo.com/microsdtomicrousb
Would something like this work? If it does then it would be awesome.
So guys please when you get your Nexus 4 Device then please try this or a setup like http://www.amazon.com/USB-Female-Mini-Male-Adapter/sim/B0016RNX2I/2 into a Tiny flash drive or a pendrive if necessary :laugh:
Hope that link helps us N4 lovers :cyclops:

you answered your own qusetion now please mods close this thread
how did i answer my own question i just need help with modding/formating my sd card
If you can't figure out the answer to what is one of the most simple tasks then you shouldn't even bother modding your phone. Next thing you'll do is be caught in a boot loop and call it a brick.

Need help with linux swap

First of all yes i SEARCHED for a answer
ok i no how to partition my sd card i have the fat32 ext4 and linux swap partition on my sd card but after that what do i do? Do i just load the hero rom and it will run smoother or should I download swapper from the market and fool around with that some.
ps. When i check my internal memory i have about 27mb
Any help will be appreciated
No you didn't search for answer and this is in wrong forum.
Yes it automatically does it on hero and it will run smoothly (for hero).
edit: just saw you said you have 27 mb internal... clear data on browser maybe? the point of apps2sd is to have higher internal memory than that lol.
Ok
1st. Of all I did search and unless you have a ****1ng camera on my computer how would you no?
But thanks any way
With an attitude like that, i would write you off real quick...best of luck with that though.
Here's what you're looking for

Ouch, another tough guy. If you searched you didn't do a very good job. Next time try using the words "linux" and "swap". There are at least a dozen threads on the subject.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/search_rop.php?searchid=27381858

I always try not to post ... for specific reasons ... but this is funny. Everyone over at xda have been messing with swap for a long time already and it's like posted from where ever he got his ROM from. You didn't even have to search.
Your the one asking for help so don't give him an attitude man. We're here to help not to screw you over, but you gotta do your homework first.
also .... there google.com .... use it.
Just like others said, I really doubt you searched. This has been discussed many many times. Also like the other poster said you shouldn't even had to search, it should have been on the dev's main page.
Im a new poster but I been reading these forums for months and I searched for everything I needed in this forum and I found everything I needed to know.
That was your second post here and you are already talking smack. Dont expect too much help when you come here with an attitude like that.

D2 Nooblet Questions...

Hi all firstly great forums, secondly i am a complete tard when it comes to technology so be gentle please..........
Ok i just recieved my Diamond 2 and i was wondering if you could help me with the basic upgrades i should get right away before i do anything with it ie 6.5, ROM stuff etc bear in mind i havent a clue about these phones as it is my first new phone for along time.
Also which memory card should i buy for about £20...£35 i want an 8-16gb, do i need to get a micro or normal size ? a class 2, 4, 6 make website i could get a decent trustworthy one from the uk.
The phone is from London and sim free if that helps.
So is there any upgrades that are a must or i should definately get before i start playing around with it.Would like a really nice looking OSrom if poss and not complicated as i will only really use the basics atm GPRS Sat Nav Tom Tom etc. Also a radio Rom ??
The upgrades on HTC site there is a big list do i need to DL and install all of these or ? http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=249&act=sd&cat=all
Also i read and found http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/Spb-Mobile-Shell-31386.shtml
Is there a place to get the full free is it a good OS (SPB-Mobile-Shell 3.5.1)
A small list of things i should DL would really help me.
As you can see im pretty clueless so any help would be really appriciated.
Thanks in advance for any replies and for your time.
Peter
First of all... welcome.
Start reading the stickys in section "Topaz ROM development". There you find threads for ROM and radioROM.
You need micro-SD cart. I'm sure it's in the manual... Speed of it isn't that important if you don't gonna transfer movies and so every day...
You don't need to install all the updates if you go directly for a new rom.
SPB is shareware, so no free ones. But I think you can try it for free some days.
One last thing... reading, reading, searching, searching and don't open several new threads with probs...
Happy flashing...

128gb sd card

Hi,
I read on a blog that somebody was able to use a 128gb formatted to FAT32 with his Streak (I cannot post the URL). I've tried the same, but have got the message that the sd card is damaged. Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks.
The Dell Streak 7 only supports up to 32GB cards. Period.
Hopefully I can post this link:

Did you not read what I read?

why not just have 4 32gb cards, they're hot swappable, I doubt you'd fill them all with apps (dont challenge it as you will only make yourself look like an arse for downloading that many apps and never using them) and probably use them only for videos, in which case just put the ripped movie or series on an SDC and enjoy that, honestly its hot swappable for a reason.

if you did manage to negate the kernel support for NAND sizes on the SDC less than 32gb only, I doubt you'd have much stability.. also you spelt sweet wrong
For the doubting Thomas's - especially Nocturnal_50. I guess I'll be accused of photoshopping this....
I think we owe the guy an apology. Read around the internet and it does work.

I think that Noobies are treated a bit too harshly at times and I'm glad to see one strike back! ConGrats on that one.
I blame misinformation from Dell. Windows only supports formatting partitions up to 32gb with FAT32 (however you need a 3rd party tool to partition beyond windows limits, but hey thats why Gparted was made), stupid Dell representatives giving us useless information, the representatives should know all the information about the products hardware support instead of just giving us a standard "we didnt get it to work with sizes larger than 32gb so it must be NAND handling restriction"
The biggest difference is that android currently doesnt support exFAT (though it would be nice as fat32 has many limitations)
According to wikipedia though, SDXC is electrically and protocall-ly backwards compatable. BUT you lose some of the benefits of the new capability bits (such as the higher speed interfaces)
Also apparently the S7's roms support it at the software level. This was the part that was tested.
The fat32 format limitation is completely artificial as older versions of windows will allow formatting up to like 127+ GB, they did it because (at least on standard HDDS) it's a really bad fs to use. It's terribly inefficient as you have to use 4k blocks.
It's usually easier to say "it's not supported" then it is to say "we havnt tested it, we dont know if it's compatable" for support and liability reasons.
Doesnt benefit us as the customer though, but it's a fact of life.
Thanks giveen. Have to admit - the amount and rate of apologies is deafening

Thanks wptski - being a noobie - completely agree. I joined the forum to a) get help then b) hopefully give help. To be sniped at in a completely different post about this issue makes me feel that I am not getting a) and unlikely to give b)
As I received no apologies from the sniping from what I considered were experienced members (Nocturnal_50 especially, ElfinJNoty & Archer), and no help apart from pointing me to posts I had already read and didn't answer my queries - I'm leaving. After less than 2 weeks, that's a damning inditement of the way that some people answer and reply to questions. If those people continue in this manner, the forum will simply die.
I thought the point of forums was to help others - not to assasinate them at the earliest point - and give condescending answers.
There was some work involved in getting the 128gb drive to work (if you remember originally I asked how to make it work). The SSD type, how I made it work, will remain my IP.
Remember, if you want others to help, you need to help others.

dont get butthurt over not following the forum rules, I am certain that you were provided with the n00b video link which highlights the majority of the important ones, sure people get pissed off by rules but not following them leads to the situation at hand, which looks a lot like someone who cant handle the search features
Leighv
I believe I asked how you did this. If I have offended you then I apologize because that was not my intention. I look forward to you reconsidering and contributing to the forums. And if not, then thank you for making us aware of this new information and enjoy your streak.

USB Mass Storage? help please :/

I am on Alliance Rom XXLSC Beta 1.1 and when I connect my phone to a computer I have to manually press ''activate mass storage'', I hate this, I can't view files on my phone while it is connected to the pc and this is a real time waster for me.
Please can somebody tell me how I get my phone phone to connect as ''N7000'' as it does on some other Roms.
I have tried the USB switcher from the market but it has no effect. I have also asked in the respected ROM Thread but the DEV hasn't been around for a long time as he has ''real problems'' to deal with and not tech issues which I totally understand but that is good to me lol
Thanks in advance guys n gals, I also know where the Thanks Button is with XDA PREMIUM, reply for unlimited thanks! thanks
*bump*
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
why dont you try a different rom i know alliance doesnt update in a while.
And he posted the question already in the Rom thread and got answers or started discussions.
Searching in the thread I found a lot of references to USB/MTP/mass storage and why R.H. switched to MTP.
I think there is no real sense in starting a technical question in Q&A for a very specific Rom configuration like Robbie's.
So I would follow the above advice and try a different CR with a mass storage mode you like.
But: One single click is a time waster?
And even if posting here it doesn't seem necessary to provide informations about the very personal reasons of the Dev and ending it with "lol" (even if the last part of this sentence doesn't seem to make sense).

People had a go when I simply said the the Dev is too busy to do further work on his Rom, whats the problem saying he has real life things to sort out and not minor tech issues related to a phone? From monday I too will be too busy to do any kind of modding, playing with my phone so I have 5 days to get it how I want then I'm stuck with the final setup for 6 months. The recession caused by the few is affecting the many who played no part in it, its 1 of the biggest injustices of our time. The creators of the recession havent been affected like the rest of us, they continue earning obscene amounts of money while the rest of sacrifice to fix the problem they created.
- Yes its a time waster, if I listen to music on my phone while transfering files the media can not be read so the music stops.
I can not transfer an apk I have saved on my computer and then install it, I have to turn off USB Mass Storage to be able to view it on my phone. Turning on USB Mass Storage takes 5/10 seconds while it loads so yes its a time waster, its not just a case of 'clicking' 1 button.

Ive tried nearly every ROM available, Alliance is the 1 I like, I just want to get it to connect as 'N7000' so I can use my phone simultaneously.
