first of all thank focus.lau

this will start off using his version. eventually i will get source downloaded(hopefully today), and ill begin getting all the bugs worked out.
this version was provided by focus.lau, i modified it to make it semi usable. 99% of the credit to this point is all focus.lau! i simply fixed a few issues preventing boot up using stateside photons. it can be modified in the same way miui was by adding parts from this and that and getting alittle more function.
my plans are to get cm9 source downloaded and find time to bang out all the necessaries to get cm9 fully working. its going to be a long road but we gots the cm9 before 2012!

have fun.

Whats wrong with the sd card and have you tried a 3rd party camera app?

---

it doesn't recognize sd card. both internal and external, but the focus solved the problem by adb push the file vold.fstab to system/etc, see
http://bbs.189store.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=15572&extra=page=1
As for camera, i believe it is driver related.

First to download my attachment. vold.fstab.apk (2.29 KB, Downloads: 42) If there is no ADB tool, prior to your mother and then download a good degree, and then placed in c: \ windows \ system32 under.
After downloading, remove the. Apk suffix.
WIN + R and enter cmd into the command line, execute the following command sequence:
adb push vold.fstab (if not the same level directory, please fill out the complete path, such as c: \ vold.fstab) / mnt / emmc / / push the file you downloaded to the root directory emmc
adb shell / / entering the shell
su / / get root privileges
mount-o remount, rw-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock3 / system / / mount the file system as read-write
cp / mnt / emmc / vold.fstab / system / etc / / / replace the previous file
exit
exit
adb reboot / / restart
This last statement, the phone automatically restart after you can get.

What do the yaffs pertain to and what is a eemc device?
I could google it(and I will) but I'd rather you explain it
