changing filesystems - Motorola Droid X2

pretty much the SD card is formated to VFAT. as we all know vfat has a file size limit of 4gb. this is bad considering that i want to put the last mma fight on my phone so i can watch it during work and its 7 gigs. so i went to the terminal to see what filesystems they had mounted. they have ext3 partitions so i formated it to ext3 then changed all the partitions back and tried to mount it but it refused to mount and the system didnt even recognize the card. i really dont care the fs it can be ext2-4, xfs, rieser what ever as long as i can put 4+ gig files on it

You might be better off taking a different approach and crunching down the video file you have. Use handbreak on your PC to crunch it into something smaller. You shouldn't lose quality seeing as you are viewing on a 4.3" screen.

where is that option i looked through everything and cant find it. also whats the point of a 1080p x264 on a screen that is 960x540?
actually it doesnt really matter since this isnt a handbrake forum. the point is why cant my sd card be a filesystem that the phone is currently using?

More than likely because Windows doesn't support those file systems. Without that support, you couldn't access the card from a Windows PC. Granted, not everybody uses Windows but the vast majority do. There's ways around that problem but most people don't know anything about that either. Bottom line is, well, my guess is anyway, they are trying to make things as simple as possible.
Seems to me NTFS would have been a better choice as far as Windows goes but then you run into similar problems for those using Mac puters. Fat32 on the other hand, can be read and wrote to by either OS and Linux also. So.......

windows not being able to read ext3 has nothing to do with the fact that the x2's internal filesystem is ext3 but for some odd reason if you insert an ext3 formatted sd card it cant be read

[Q] HTC Thunderbolt Internal Storage

I was poking around the app SystemPanel (available on the market) and I noticed that the internal storage only adds up to 4gb. This is including the System Storage(849.5MB), Application Storage(2670.8MB), and The cache(424.7MB). Now I don't know much about the file structure, and I am probably missing something, but I thought that the internal storage was 8GB?
Anybody else run into this discovery?

I'm guessing what Brad is trying to point out without actually putting any effort into answering your question, is according to the linked thread, eMMC is only 4GB

I'm going to venture to guess one of two things is going on:
HTC fat fingered the spec-sheet and everybody else copied it without doing any research (Alternate: Last minute change and their tech sheet was never updated)
There really is 8GB of eMMC, but the "missing" 4GB is hidden, disabled, or otherwise unaccounted for at the moment.
In any event, until someone does a tear down we probably wont know for absolute certainty.
It's not "missing." Pulled from the other thread.

There is 5.00168gbs(or 5121.72mb) on the system partition according to Root Explorer and a calculator. Most of it is free (empty) space, though.
5.00168 + the ~2.5gb user storage partition = ~7.5gb.
This is the same as the MT4G and G2, both of which had the same advertised 8gb internal storage I believe.

Most likely this will be impossible.
The eMMC's generally used by HTC can only be partitioned once, period. At least, this was the case with the G2 and the MT4G which had the same "missing" storage space.

Yes, I realize that G2 =/= Thunderbolt. However, it's very likely that HTC uses similiar processes for all of it's phones.
O, ok. I searched xda and it didn't turn up any discussions like this.

Yeah I hasn't finished reading that thread when I replied in here, so I didn't realize the space had been located.
I know the way HTC does eMMC makes it a one time partition, but since its there as "system" according to that post, shouldn't that mean it could be utilized by us somehow? I don't entirely understand all of the nuance to androids partition madness, but I'm an old hand with linux. My first thought runs to making a loopback in some of the free space and mounting it in a user assessable area a la how you can mount iso's and swap files. Might not be the fastest but for data that doesn't change often it could work. Hell I'm pretty sure thats all the ext2/4 hacks on the sgs phones are doing to avoid rfs.

SD card file system

Hey, I have got a question concerning the SD card file system. Apparently, the sgs2 only supports Fat32, which has a maximum file size of 4gb... Now, the sgs2 also supports 1080p hd videos. How am I supposed to transfer a 1080p video (which is usually about 8gb or more) to my sd card?
change it to mp4
by using freemake
Thanks for your hint. However, converting mkv to mp4 will make it smaller but the movie will almost certainly lose quality. So this is not an option for me. Is there really no chance to transfer files that are bigger than 4gb???
how about splitting the movie in multiple smaller parts?
Might just be worth formatting your external sd card via PC as ext 4 and see if phone reads it .

Yeah tried NTFS and exFAT, but no success... don't know how to format as ext4, since I am using windows. Can someone with linux try it? Or is there a way to format it via windows?
Splitting the video is working, but yeah... not the best choice in my opinion. However, here is nice tutorial: http://www.logichaos.com/joomla/guides/35/60-how-to-split-mkv-to-multiple-mkv-files.html
i would almost certainly create a phone version rather than keep if full hd and waste 75+% of the detail. If you did a transcode to actual phone res then the file size will/should be 25% or less of orig size, and you will possibly get a visual improvement if there is a 1:1 ratio for the phone.

Then I would start to look at kernels that have ntfs or ext3/4 support for sd cards (surprised ext3/4 didn't work tbh), blame microsoft for coming up with and amazingly fragment-able limited file system
I blame them all the time when I shoot with my HD camera onto CF cards and after 8 minutes at 40-50mbit it stops recording (4GB limit) I blame them and the manufactures for adopting fat32!

You could put the 8GB movie on the internal memory instead of the SD card.

And the result : No joy ext3/4

HD Movie On Razr

I've tried to get a movie to my microsd card in order to have it in my Razr. The movie is about 5gb and i couldn;t copy it. I was getting error regarding FAT32. Is there a way to make my microsd card NTFS and be compatible with Razr(rooted)?
I doubt you will be able to get NTFS to be recognized by Android. Maybe try EXT3. Then the hard part is getting Win 7 to recognize the EXT3. Should work in a VM or possibly with ext2fsd (maybe install and run in XP mode)?
hmm?
why dont u stick the microSD to ur RAZR, and as long as the RAZR recognizes it, plug ur phone to ur Windows PC USB, select "USB Mass Storage", and drag-n-drop.

5GB is WAY too big for a movie, period. I have 2 TB of full length feature films and NONE of them are over 2GB in size and I watch them on a 60" LED TV.
So you need to re-encode that movie and any other movie you have to something more "NORMAL" for your intentions.
use a program called HandBrake, encode to .Mp4. If you're not familiar with this area of expertise I go read up on it.
another poster was right, FAT32 is 4GB limit. You can't format a MicroSD to NTFS.
Regardless, no video should be 5GB, unless you've combined all three Lord Of The Rings movies into one long 9 hour film, into one AVI container.. lol who would do that? >.>

I disagree. I have 2TB loaded up with Blu-Ray Rips (that I share on my network using PS3 Media Server). I rip then re-encode them to x264, 1080p, keep original frame rate, AC3 5.1 audio, in a MKV container. My file sizes are 8gb (so I can fit them on a dual-layer dvd that can be played and saved on a PS3). I found this to be the best final result. I have used Handbrake but I found better results with XVID4PSP.
If you can't see a difference between your rips and an original blu-ray then that's great for you but I'm sure most people would see a huge difference. There's no way to compress a movie that is 30gb in size to something smaller than 5gb without a huge drop in quality.

Some people don't want to reduce the quality by recompressing, or spend the time doing it. Storage is cheap, at least to me. Period. Exclamation point.

First if all this is a waste of time. There is no reason to play this file on your phone. Code the file in the resolution of the qhd display. You are not losing anything in the quality of the movie when it is displayed on your razr.

Bummer, think I remembered wrong, its only supported on android tablets.
Think there is a thread though to make it supported somewhere on XDA....
Anyways, if you want to watch it on your phone then rather re-code...but if you wanna movies on TV through an HDMI cable...its gonna be tough with fat32
I tried exFat with ICS on the Razr and it still doesn't natively support it. Shows the Damaged SD Card and prompts to format.
Bringing this back from the dead, did anyone find a work-around here? The 4GB file size limit is a bit of a pain for those of us doing 1080p rips to display via the HDMI out. I could put these files on the Nexus no problem, and this may be an area where Razr loses out big time.

I thought the razr HDMI out only supported 720p res, so While I agree with the concept (as I have several 1080p rips around 8 gigs myself) 1080 is simply more then the phone will output thru the HDMI.
I understand the problem, but I'm still a bit unsure as to *why* it's a problem. Why on Earth are you using your phone to output 1080p files to your TV? You spent $200-$600 on a phone to do something like this when you could spend under $100 to get a device that does it better, easier, and more effectively?
Get a cheap Roku or WD Live player. Hell, get an AppleTV and enjoy it. There's no way around the FAT32 limitation (none...at all), so look for another solution.
how about trying wireless transfer over wifi? (dunno if the 4gb limit still applies..) or perhaps a better way would be to try a file splitter n split it into half n once both parts have been transferred to memory card to join them back again??
hope it helps!!
I saw somewhere in RAZR forum ntfs.ko module to mount NTFS partition, I'm not sure if it's working with SD-CARD. It's compiled for 2.3.6 so I'm also not sure if it's work with ICS.
Just search for ntfs.ko

[MOD][TUTORIAL]Successful Boot of SD Android on microSDxC 64Gb [Update 08/17/12 VID]

Any records of any builds successfully running, loading and booting on microSDXC card's?
We all know by now good and well that if you improperly force format it to Fat32 it'll pick up in android and windows mobile devices.
So what is the likeliness of this happening and a build actually supporting the behemoths?
Has anybody tried making a build or what exactly is that limits us to the normal microSD and microSDHC?
I'd really love to be able to dual boot with my 64Gb card and put it to good use.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSjdIVTNXis
I'll be straight up with all of you, what I've noticed in my symptoms is that when in windows mobile 6.5 I'll get a SOD but that could be because my WinMo side is on the verge of needing a hard reset again. Plus normally the Android loader and haret.exe aren't that sluggish. You know how things like to eff up and go haywire especially sometimes right when you're about to do groundbreaking publications on it. haha
So who wants in? The way we all could work together now that we know that it is possible is reporting bugs and known sd roms that actually work with it, how good or well one runs over the other and everything... As well as with Class type 4/10 (Whatever other Classes there are) so on and et cetera.
The possibilities are literally endless now, because with what lil experience I did have with WP7 and WP7.5 I believe it (Microsoft) creates an exFAT partition of your normal card when setting it all up, and so since we all know about creating a dual boot with WP7 (However I never successfully accomplished it, I guess I was destined for other discoveries ^_^ and to be honest I didn't really care too much for WP7 before or after I tried it. LoL!) SD Android so to speak as well as a portion of it (Your SD Card) formated for it in of course Fat32 Primary. So if anybody wants to give that a whack as well might also bang out successful booting of SD/MAGLDR Android too while you're at it. Feel free to report back your findings.
I say if you have a 64Gb microSDXC Card laying around, then give it a shot! Or if you can afford to spend that much as well. LoL
Hope to hear from everyone soon!

All I really need is vids in the res of 400x840 and it's good enough for me) and theres no data loss switching between WinMo and Android. It's a class 4, sandisk.

FYI: Be sure to pop the 64Gb card in a microSD usb reader, download MiniTool Home Partition Wizard, delete it, click create, then select Fat32 and make sure it is set as Primary and finally click Apply sit back and let MiniTool finish formatting it, then you're all set and ready to go.
New video coming sometime next week, with a better (8Mp + Zoom and Focus ability) camera recording it, plus it'll be a lil more in depth and doing a casual walk-through of Android as much as I can squeeze together on a 2Gb, for some stupid reason my silly Fuji FinePix wont take anything more than a 2Gb (Standard) SD card. But the quality will be better hopefully. I was using one of those Kodak handheld video camcorders that ya can buy for $25.00 at nearly any Big Lots, it was all that was available while I was at work...
If theres anything like myMobiler for Android I'll do that as well if requested.
Alright so it turns out the camera was going to be just as blurry as the cheapo handheld pocket camcorder, so instead when I get home from work I'm gunna do a MyMobiler video since they make it for Android as well as Windows Mobile.

I also have a Pinnacle Lynx and Pinnacle Dazzle so no problems transfering videos from the Sharp ViewCam there, just need that cable to plug into Pinnacle.

[Q] Can I use swapper memory trick with YP-G70?

The small memory size is getting rather annoying, and since SSD's are fast enough to perform like (very) slow memory, I'd like to set up a swap partition on my YP-G70 to function as some virtual memory.
I've found this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659231 and I wondered if it will work with the YP-G70 since I know our system uses some weird drive partitioning scheme.
Also, how badly will this shorten the devices lifespan. (Well, technically lifespan of the internal drive, but since that's non-replacable ...)

Yeah, wasn't really paying attention to that part. I'm used to GB style thinkign where everything for the system has to be on the internal card.
But yeah, I'd definitely put it on an external card, if it will work.

Apparently, it's possible, but I haven't seen anything swapping "tricks" for the Galaxy Player (or many other devices, for that matter). You can, however, use Directory Bind, this script, or Root External 2 Internal SD.
