I am a complete noob when it comes to Android, having first got my G-Tab yesterday. I'll give some background before I get to my question.
Yesterday, I sideloaded a couple of apps by essentially copyng them over to the root directory on the G Tab. But, like most others, I found the stock OS very slow and unresponsive. So I installed CyanogenMod 7 as per some simplified directions that I found. Everything went fine. That's not the problem.
My problem is that I cannot sideload anymore. When I plug in my G-Tab through the USB, I hear the Windows two thumps, and nothing happens. I look to see if my tablet is showing up in the Winders Explorer, and it just shows a bunch of memory sticks that when I click on them, I can't access. Also, nothing is showing up on the tablet either (no dialog boxes like under the stock OS, nothing). This is a big problem for me since I don't have access to WIFI at the moment.
Does anyone know how I can make my computer and tablet see each other? If you tell me to do something, please tell me where to find it. For example, on another thread, someone advised someone else to turn on USB debugging for something, but I can't find any option for USB debugging in Cyanogenmod 7 under settings. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Additional info:
Computer: Laptop running Windows Vista
Did you try swiping on the notification area and enabling USB transfer on the tablet?
If you don't do this, your computer will see the USB device but not as mass storage.

Here is where this is....
Menu >>Settings >> Applications >> Development. 1st choice, USB Debugging.
Thanks. I did swipe in the notification area, and the only notification there was that USB debugging was activated. But still the G Tablet and computer cannot see each other.
Double check in your device manager (PC) to make sure there are no issues with the drivers.
Thanks. I found it and also found out that it is turned on by default. So I guess that doesn't help.

Does Cyanogenmod 7 require special drivers? The drivers worked fine on the stock build, and nothing changed since then. Everything looks ok.
I plugged my Gtablet (CM7.02 with Pershoots 4/30/11 kernel) in to my computer just now to test. I haven't used it on this computer since installing CM7. I did just work on my boss's Gtablet the other day running both stock TapnTap and VEGAn 5.1.1 and it worked fine on his.
I plugged in the tablet, Windows 7 (32bit) said it was installing drivers, driver install completed successfully.
On my tablet I then swiped up the notification bar and tapped on the selection that said "tap here to mount USB to share files with your computer" (or something like that). The Android mascot screen popped up and I tapped "Turn on USB".
New drive opened up on my computer that was the gtablets /sdcard.
So it works and used the same driver as before.
No special drivers for CM7.
One nice thing about CM7 (or maybe Ginger) is that now when plugging in you get access to both the internal and external SD cards from PC.

My computer Vista (32 bit) at no point said it was installing drivers after I upgraded to Cyanogenmod 7.
When I swipe the notification area (and I assume that the notification area is the area at the top of the tablet's screen), I get a menu that tells me that USB debugging is activated and that's all. No option to mount USB. And no screens popped up to ask to turn on USB. None of this.
And when I plug in the USB, as I mentioned, I get the two tones from Windows, and 3 new removable disk drives appear. But when I click on each, I get am asked to insert a new disk.
That's all the info I have at the moment.
At this point, I'm so sick of it. I think that probably somewhere a switch is not flipped or a box is not checked, but I have no idea where that could be. I'm seriously considering using ClockWork mod to restore the system. But I'm loathed to do this since I spent 2 hrs. downloading Cyanogen Mod last night (I have a slow internet connection).
I would suggest that you turn off "USB debugging". That setting exists to activate adbd on the tablet, and normal users, usually, never need it. Enable "USB debugging" only if you need to use adb.
After disabling USB debugging, reboot the tablet, and then connect the USB cable to the mini-USB slot on the gTablet. As soon as you do that, on CM7, a USB Mass Storage screen with a green Android will pop-up with a message saying "USB connected" and button to "Turn on USB Storage".
Click the button and a warning that "If you turn on USB storage, some application you are using will stop and may be unavailable until you turn off USB storage.", will appear. Select OK. The green Android will now turn orange and the screen will say "USB storage in use".
Use the "Turn off USB storage" when you're ready to wrap up.
Ok. I think I might have solved the problem, but some intervening events makes me not sure. Basically, I restored to factory and then put in a different ROM, VEGan7. However, while doing this, I think I might have found the solution to my original problem.
It turns out that it does seem to be a problem with Windows, or at least with Vista. I had the same problem with VEGan7. But this time, I right-clicked on the "removeable disk" that appeared under "Computer" (where you see all your drives) when I hooked up the G TAB via USB. After I right-clicked, I selected properties and then clicked on the "Hardware" tab. You will see a list of all possible storage devices to associate with that icon. I chose the one containing the string "Tegra2" and I was off to the races. I was then able to perform the actions mentioned above about activating the USB on the G Tab.
I suspect I could have used this technique with Cyanogen 7. The only thing that I question is that I saw 3 removeable disk drives appear and not just one. I hope this helps someone else who might run into the same problem.

Did you by any chance have an external micro SD card on the tablet?
If so, I'm thinking that you saw the 2 SD cards + the APX debug mode device.
flash this zip (in post #3) to mount the internal storage as an SDcard instead of EMMC. If you run that then you should be able to mount the storage when running CM7
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20913-cyanogen-7-viewsonic-g-tab-usb-connection/
also your other option is to boot into Clockwork recovery then go to mounts/storage and mount usb
you should then be able to transfer files back and forth

Thanks, I'll give it a try. What are the ramifications of mounting the internal storage as an SD card instead of EMMC? Do I lose performance? I mean, there must be a reason that the default is EMMC.
I wouldn't want to boot into Clockwork every time I want to transfer something, apps or even music and videos. That would be a real pain. Actually, I was surprised at how long this tablet takes to boot up after a complete shut down.

From what I have read that's the way that Gingerbread does it. Some programs actually have problems with that configuration, that's why people do this.

Do you think you might post the file here. When I go to that link I'm not allowed to download it. The irony is that that link says it came from here but I've used the search and I can't find it here. Maybe it is just day after Cinco de Mayo problems I'm having?

I'm wondering how to switch between the different screens you see when you click on the USB icon in notification area when connected to PC. One has the android guy and an icon to turn on or off USB storage and the other has the three choices where you pick between charge only htc sync and disk drive, and then click done. I noticed with different roms i get a different one but want to use the one i like, is there a way to do this? thankyou
I don't believe you can. I would say it's based on the software version of the ROM your running.

Only HTC STOCK based ROMs such as the original Eris ROM, xtrSENSE, xtrROM, and other similar ROMs have the one including HTC Sync as an option.
I have no idea if you can change the look of the screen, or how to go about it if you can.
I don't even use the traditional method of mounting the SD card anymore. For many months I've been using, first a widget called SD Share/Dual Mount SD which allows you to mount the SD card to the computer without dismounting it from the phone.
Then Multi Mount SD came along which has an option to automount the SD card to my PC whenever I connect the USB cable. Now I use this. It also has a widget but I don't need or use it since it automatically mounts and dismounts. Note if you reboot either the phone or computer while it's still connected you'll have to disconnect and reconnect it once one or both devices are rebooted before it'll automount again. At least with the current version.
SD Share/Dual Mount SD now apparently has this capability, too.
Also, Windows and Linux programs like QtADB (recommended) and Android Commander (I never personally got it working but I know other people did) allow you to access the system areas of your phone PLUS your SD card through a Windows GUI without mounting the SD card in the usual way. It does this because deep down it uses ADB for everything. I think it comes with the components it requires though, so I don't think you need to install the complete Android SDK though. I don't know for sure since I have the SDK installed anyway.
I am running CM9 4.5.1 with GApps v12 on an Atrix 4G. The issue I am having is that when I connect via USB cable to my XP system, my PC detects the two sdcards (internal and external) but I can not access either one of them..."Please insert disk into drive" like they are not formatted.
I did find that the external sdcard is now being seen in the phone as folder EMMC and both of them have data so I don't think it is a format issue.
I have tried to connect via USB using the MTP and Mass Storage Option and rebooted the phone both times after the change was made. Neither attempt worked.
I have searched through the forum as best I could but with the CM9 thread pushing 1000 pages, I'm not sure if anyone has come across this. If so, what was done or are there any suggestions out there? Thanks.
Never mind, I figured it out after installing new USB drivers from Moto and trying everything else. Found out it was a simple/stupid oversight on my part. So if this happens to anyone else....
Even though I had Mass Storage enabled in the settings, when I connected the phone via USB to my XP Pro Pc, I had to pull down the notification bar, select USB storage, and turn it ON. I guess by default it is turned off. Once that was done, I am now able to access the sdcards on my PC.
I did find during all of the research and trial/error that the sdcard-ext is now the sdcard and the sdcard is now emmc in the folders. I believe there is a way to change this (xda thread) but I can live with the way it is.
How do I enable USB Mass storage mode instead of the stupid MTP og PTP?
Regards,
BTJ
Not sure if this works for the SGS3 but it worked for the SGS2:
Bring up Settings.
Click More… (under Wireless and network).
Then select USB utilities ~ Set USB cable connection mode.
Select Connect storage to PC then.
Connect USB cable from phone to PC.
Select Turn on USB storage.
That’s all.
Sorry, no such settings in SGS3, we are stuch with MTP or PTP... Don't understand the logic behind removing USB Mass storage mode!! Both MTP and PTP are slow as hell and there is no support for S3 in libmtp at the moment to make matters worse... If I had known this, I would have reconsidered my choice of buying a SGS3.....
BTJ
Like the Nexus, /sdcard is mounted at /data/media (IIRC, mount point could be different), meaning that internal data and the internal sdcard space share the space, rather than being split. UMS removes access to the device that is mounted from the phone, so it cannot be used when the sdcard is shared in this fashion.
I thought libmtp worked? I've been using adb and a GUI for shifting lots of files, qtadb

Seems to be a problem with both SII and SIII... But I will check out qtadb, thx...
BTJ
So am I reading this right. You can't plug a USB cable in, the SD card appears then in explorer?
I have a sensation XE at moment and use this a lot for transferring files at work/home etc.
So can I not access my files normally now that I copy to SD card, eg docs etc?
Nope... But it sounds like you are using Windows so then MTP will work, kind of like you are used to...
BTJ
The idea about using MTP is it allows you to continue to use your phone without disruption, loading Mass Storage un-mounts the sd from your phone.
However I do think we should still be given a choice
Yes, I guess I understand the idea... What I don't understand is why they have removed the choice we used to have.... :-|
BTJ
I stil don't have an S3, but am a little confused on the MTP etc. Also I use a Mac and a Windows PC.
So when you plug in an S3 on a Windows PC, what does it do in MTP mode? just still allow you to drag/drop files? does the S3 come up as another drive or something in explore?
Also anyone with a Mac, how does this work?
cheers

I think I got the jist of that article lol but does this mean android developement were looking for devices to have either internal storage or sd storage but because the SG3 has both its sort of screwed things up a bit?
So UMS might be released in a later patch to allow easier access to added SD storage? Or does the current setting allow access to both storage thru windows pc?
Soz if I come across as a noob I havent got sg3 yet but planning to get one in a few weeks for upgrade and Ive been trying to get the low down on positives and negatives before I get the phone
Keep things simple!
Please can someone answer this simply.
Can I plug in the device into my mac/pc and just transfer any file to the micro SD card whilst it is in the phone?
All I want to do is to be able to put avi files on it as samsung kies or doubletwist doesn't seem to suppor them...
A yes or a no with and explanation would be great ta!!

Thanks for the help. Although I figure out what everyone was talking about.
This is how I did it (maybe this will help others noobs as well):
You will need the 'Android File Transfer program' --> google search it!
1.Connect phone to PC (you will see usb icon at the top of the screen)
2. Pull down the notification centre.
3. Touch the usb thing.
4. Click PTP mode
5. Open the file transfer program
BOOM! Rock on nerds!
Hello. I.ve checked the first 40 pages of the forum and have seen this posted before but with no answers. I.m running cm7 on a 16gb NT, and for the most part, everything is good. However, I want to use my internal space to save things to, like pictures from the internet, etc. Whenever I try now, a message says I Don.t have an external SD card installed, which I Don.t, but I have almost 8 gigs of internal space I.d like to use. Also the media player installed with cm7 says no SD card installed. Surely there must be a way to use the internal space and have the apps detect it as an SD card?
There is a way, I haven't tried myself, that involves swapping internal with external memory, by tweaking build.prop and vold.fstab files. This makes the internal memory external, though the label remains as the original.
And you don't have 8gb internal memory (unless you reparationed it) but 1gb only.
when i go to storage in settings, it says i have 5.5G of internal storage and 7.45G of additional storage under /mnt/media. i haven't repartitioned anything myself, but this was a pre-owned nook, so maybe the original owner did. also, i do have the "internal storage" box checked in cyanogen settings... Any ideas? Or do you have more info on the file editing?

^^ link above is the method but for cm10 where storage is mounted as storage 0 and 1, in cm7 its emmc and SD card (or something like that)
So does anyone have the exact commands to use for cm7 in the fstab? Also, will I be adding these lines or replacing ones already there?
Does anyone have an answer for this? Its hard to believe all the NT owners out there are contented letting all that space go to waste...
Well, I'm not letting any space go to waste!. I put lots of stuff in my internal storage. Either I put it there when transferring from PC, or I transfer files between sd-card and internal.
But that's beside the point.
Check over in the Nook Color section and maybe you can find useful info there. I know it was discussed and solved for CM7 on the Color. Shouldn't be too different for the Tablet. One would think... and possibly be terribly wrong...
( I don't think there is a huge interest in CM7 for the NT any more.)
Has this issue been addressed in cm10? Does the nook recognize the extra internal space as a place to save stuff to from the internet and read files from like with media players? Sorry for being meticulous about this, but I bricked my other NT messing around trying to access this space (I unmounted and formatted it and believe I wiped my internal partitions) and don't want to mess up this one as well. Thanks for any help...
There doesn't seem to be an easy fix for this in CM10. However much I would appreciate having it done I don't think it's worth taking risks messing with things I don't understand, so I pop in an sd-card to keep the apps that want it happy. (Those of you that have more of a clue might think differently though.)
Things I want to stay on the Nook I put internally like I said in my previous post. Pictures, some books, soma PDF magazines, a couple of film clips... All in my internal "MyFiles" folder.
And how do you open those files, with a file explorer or with actual programs? Because like I said right now, even if I did have music stored in that internal space, the media player is telling me there is no sd card inserted and therefore won't even search for any music files.
I open from a file explorer and it asks me what I want to use and if to set to default the first time.
Edit: And also (I had to go check this to be sure I wasn't remembering wrong), once opened with Gallery the app seems to "remember" that there are albums in eMMc as well and they show up wvwn with sd removed. This is in CM10, mind you, if it acts differently in CM7 I wouldn't know.
More edit: I now checked on the kids' Nook Color running CM7, and both QuickPic and MX Player allow you through settings to decide where it looks for media. I still prefer going through a file explorer though.
and now we come to another issue... i cannot for the life of me get my computer to recognize my nook properly. i was going to add the files from my computer and then locate them with a file explorer, but when i connect it, either through the regular cm7 interface or through CWM, the computer cannot access the internal drives. it sees the nook, because 2 more drives open up, but i don't think i have the correct drivers, because it doesn't show up in ADB either. when i do adb devices, it comes up blank. the driver now lists the nook as Android ADB interface, don't know if thats correct or not, but doesn anyone have the proper windows 7, 64 bit drivers for this? nothing i've tried can gain access to those drives, or having the nook come up in adb...
Is this the first time you try to transfer files from PC to Nook? Has it been working before? Just to know if something has suddenly gone wrong .
You should get a prompt at the Nook telling you to enable USB storage or something like that. You probably need to go to settings and enable USB debugging or somethig similar as well.
Edit: I have never ever used ADB, so I have no clue how to fix things there!! I just use regular Windows File Explorer.

Are you running cm7 alpha? I think there was this problem in that but was fixed in beta
yes this is my first time trying to transfer files from the PC to the Nook, I installed cm7 as soon as I got it (which was this xmas). I don't have my computer on right now, but I'm 99% sure when I unzipped the release it said beta. Team-B version. nothing ever pops up on the Nook or the computer screen when I plug it in, I can only see the drives that get added to my computer, but can't access them.
After plugging to PC via USB you should get prompt on tablets notification bar. Did you get that?

ok i see the notification on the bar and it says usb debugging connected. when i click on it, it brings me to the settings mentioned in that other thread that asawi linked, but the android debugging mode is already checked. i followed that other thread and it turns out that guys cable was bad, so i tried the other cable i had that came with my other NT and still no luck. i doubt both cables i got could be bad... any other ideas?
Edit: ok queer. i restarted the nook while the cable was plugged in, and then i did get the usb storage connection option. however, after i hit connect, i don't see the drives in my computer. so i updated the driver automatically, and it went from android phone back to usb composite device. then i the drives popped up in my computer, but i still can't connect to them. i tried adb throughout all these options and i didn't get the NT to show up in the devices list at all.
You don't get the " turn on USB Storage"? There's usually 2 notifications when connecting. The setting you mention and the "turn on USB storage"
Hello everyone. I've searched around and cannot find anything similar to my problem, so I'm asking here.
I've just installed CyanogenMod 7 (Degu) on my Archos 70 IT (aka Prestigio PMP7070C) tablet, and now I can't connect the tablet to my PC. When I plug in the USB cable, the screen flashes with the USB mounting interface for a brief moment, and then it gets back to home screen. The status bar tells me "USB connected; Select to copy files to/from your computer." But when I tap on it, the same thing happens - the mounting screen appears for a split second, and then it crashes.
Is this supposed to be happening? I haven't found anywhere in the documentation that the USB link is broken. Moreover, it works flawlessly in the stock ROM. If it's not supposed to be happening, how can I fix it? Did I do something wrong?
UPDATE: I've tried formatting the internal storage once more and installing the CM7 again from scratch. What I've noticed now is that, before I install Google Apps, the mounting screen appears when I plug the USB cable in. It doesn't, however, do anything (if I tap "Mount USB storage", it just does nothing for a while, and then returns to home screen). After installing the Google Apps, I can't even get to that screen anymore (the situation is the same as described above). Any leads to that?
Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I have a microSD card on the tablet. However, it doesn't mount either. I cannot mount anything, since the mounting screen just disappears as soon as it opens.
I understand the image and data are on the internal memory, and I accept that I won't be able to access the remainder of those 8 GiB which my Archos has. The microSD card has 16 GiB memory, anyway, which is enough(ish) for my needs. But I cannot access it
Any other leads? Thanks for your engagement
OK, a quick update (and sorry for bumping the thread, I hope it's not too much of a problem).
I've managed to access my microSD card via USB on my Archos Gen8... sort of.
USB mounting works if I connect the tablet to my PC before booting cm7. I.e., If cm7 boots while the USB cable is already connected, I can then mount it and access the microSD card.
I've read through the official Archos Gen7/Gen8 cyanogenmod7 Degu release thread once again, and I've noticed more than one person reporting USB doesn't work, and divx118 also stating that it's not completely polished yet. I am, however not sure if this (i.e. my problem from the starting post) is what they mean. If it is, I'd like to inform people of the "workaround" I've come across (I am, however, not able to post in that thread).
And if it isn't the same problem, then I'd appreciate any ideas or opinions regarding why this is happening apparently to me alone.
Thanks everyone and many thanks to divx118 for his awesome work!

USB mounting works if I connect the tablet to my PC before booting cm7. I.e., If cm7 boots while the USB cable is already connected, I can then mount it and access the microSD card.
I've read through the official Archos Gen7/Gen8 cyanogenmod7 Degu release thread once again, and I've noticed more than one person reporting USB doesn't work, and divx118 also stating that it's not completely polished yet. I am, however not sure if this (i.e. my problem from the starting post) is what they mean. If it is, I'd like to inform people of the "workaround" I've come across (I am, however, not able to post in that thread).
And if it isn't the same problem, then I'd appreciate any ideas or opinions regarding why this is happening apparently to me alone.
Thanks everyone and many thanks to divx118 for his awesome work!

You're welcome, as long as it helps. I hope someone of the "big guys" sees it, if it's important.
