I know I'm going to get flamed because I'm sure someone has asked and answered this... but I can't find it.
Is there a way tor set my gtab to recognize the emmc as an SD card so I can install apps that require an sd card? The amazon app store and the B&N nook app are the 2 I want right now, but I'm sure there are more. I really don't need more than the existing 14Gb of space on the tab, so I definitely don't want to buy a microsd when I have all the space on it already.
I'm running CM7 with stock kernel, new to the gtab but not to android, XDA, or rooting/modding. But I can't code and ADB baffles me.

The problem with the lectures is that eventually I have to ask a question too ...
If my answer turns about to be in some arcane thread from 2002 and I don't find it, then I'm gonna get hit with the lecture too
It's a fine line between using the search features of this site, and realizing that search sucks and asking for help.
Perhaps I should have put the "tongue in cheek" smiley up there... ;-)
I agree completely. In fact, if you ever see me giving a lecture... link me back here ;-)

I know this thread has gone way OT, but oh well.
I was certain you were being funny...
However, I've been known to be a bit terse with my 'find with search' answers myself. Just acknowledging it will eventually bite me in the arse.
I followed the link followed the instructions and I am still having the same issue where the /mnt/emmc is not being listed as /mnt/sdcard
Now, I am not sure if this is because I am on CM7.0 and the thread was for CM7.1 but here is a link to what I posted there
For Father's day --- lucky me!!!
Good price also I think? 289.99
http://www.buy.com/prod/viewsonic-g...ra-2-1ghz-512mb-ddr2/q/loc/111/219101228.html
Anyway I just looked in this sub forum and have not read anything in depth yet. I have practice flashing roms on my phone so I am not a complete newbie...but not far..
So is the instructions in the flash thread still the one to follow exactly as written? I only ask because I saw somewhere that the G tablet has been updated and some roms are no longer good (not sure if this is true?)
Anyway I will be getting this tablet soon and want to flash it before I even use it (with at least gingerbread if not honeycomb), so any tips or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!!

Tip 1: Post General (like this) or Q/A (like "how do I...?") posts in the General or Q/A forums, not in THIS forum, which (as you can see by the Stickied Posts you passed over) is just for developers to post about their things, and for you to give them feedback in their threads.
Tip 2: be sure you understand the whole 1.1 vs 1.2 bootloader thing
Tip 3: have fun!
Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I am so used to the phone section (which is where we post these questions) that I just assumed it was the same setup.
Can a Mod please move this thread to the correct forum please?
thanks
I don't think there is another tab with as much interests as this one.
That said I hope you know about the screen viewing angle issue. I haven't really noticed it but some people have cried bloody murder.

Hi,bro
each n every question's answer is on google than why is this section made for
if u don't know than don't prefer to google
i'm here for professnal's answer
thanks
1. I'm not your "bro".
2. XDA Developers has its own search engine. The information is out there, but you have to search for it. I provided you a link anyway despite you not searching for it first, and I get what you posted in return. But tell me this: how do you expect to learn anything if things are handed to you on a silver platter? I provided you the links, but while there are hundreds of people on this forum that can help you out, in the end you still need to learn to do it on your own. Better that you start now, rather than later.
3. Watch this handy video. It explains certain site rules in a manner that anyone can understand, especially the site rule about searching on the forums before you post.
4. 293 posts at the time I write this versus your 5. I believe I know just a little bit more about the Streak than you, and I am the person who provided you with a link to start with. You know, the link that provided you with guides on how to do what you wanted to do?
5. There are few professionals here. Most of the people on these forums are simply end users who have the know-how to make their Streaks that much better. Most of your responses are not going to be from professionals, and if you're expecting professionals, then this site is not for you.
Any questions?
If you want a "professional" answer call Dell. Ok I'll wait for you to get back with that answer......................................................................................................................
On second thought I don't have that kind of time.
OR you could actually read the info at the link provided. Of course most of that info is from amateurs, but those amateurs use the Streak everyday.
I called to dell they said that I have to give the streak to dell serviec center they will update it,but I can't give b'coz service center is 700 km away my home
Plzzzz help me if u can

You didn't hurt me. You pissed me off by expecting the answers to be spoonfed to you, and then went running to another user on a totally unrelated thread begging for help because you didn't want to take the time to click on the link that I provided you.
I am not here to provide one on one tech support. If you want that, I charge for the privilege.

Is it just me or should there be a different forum for just the GSM Razr Developments. So far it looks like there are roots for just one or the other but not a all in one solution for both versions. Correct me if wrong but if this is going end up the case that Roms, and rooting instructions won't work on all versions then since this is the DROID RAZR forum topic then thats what needs to be posted here.
So far some call it GSM Razr some call them by the 2 or 3 different Razr models, and some just say Razr. What models are being talked about in all the Dev topics really should have a uniform way of dealing with each version or else there is going to be problems.
Like I said if I am wrong then ignore this, but I look at the topics and it gets confusing at times what models are really being talked about or what models are supported by a certain root method. I reiterate, if it doesn't work for the Verizon DROID RAZR then should it actually be posted in this forum at all?
Admins have any take on this? This forum section does state it is for the DROID RAZR.
With such a new device, any development is good development. Other devices get by with topics flagged as [GSM] or [CDMA], I don't really see any point in creating a second forum until there's actually enough discussion to merit it. Both currently have locked bootloaders, and aside from Verizon bloatware, the same software setup (The GSM version's software even contains references to Verizon). There may be reason to open a GSM RAZR forum soon, but now - so soon after launch - isn't really it.
People just need to a) Flag threads they start better, and b) Read threads they didn't start properly.

It has been already taken into consideration. For starters a good forum management and thread title is required.
BTW, this is in the wrong froum, this is development forum
Moving this to General.
It would be nice to have them separated like all of the other devices. This forum is going to grow and alot of noobs are going to flash wrong roms and fixes. Then developers are going to have a harder time trying to figure out why things are not working. Yes people are supose to read everything but they don't and then a simple thread turns into a hundred pages of trolling and pissed off developers. I am one who does read everything and trust me I came from the Thunderbolt and that forum sucks and it lost alot of good developers do to people that don't read everything. Even the general section, people are asking question and listing problem but not saying what device they have.

Since it was about ROMS and how DEVS list their roms and root methods I felt that it was the correct forum.

I need a clarification on the bootloader part. As far as it was announced, the Int'l version of the RAZR is supposed to have an unlocked bootloader whereas the US-only version (AKA Droid Razr) will have a locked boot-loader.
Can anybody confirm this for a fact? Coz I'm in India and I want to buy this but if its got a locked boot-loader here as well, I'll have to re-think.
http://androidadvices.com/motorola-razr-xt910-price-india-slimmest-smartphone/
Now that there is a thread about this, I would like to ask if there is a difference in the total memory allotted to the device. I mean, the Internal and external
memory...I am from India, so will I get a mem card as opposed to a US version?
Thanx! (didn't want to make a thread for this one question...so am asking here.)

You wouldn't get external memory card in Asia version as far as I known.You need to buy it yourself(slot support up to 32GB). Yes, Internal memory is 16GB but you can only use 8GB. The rest 8GB is for application storage (3GB around), system and Webtop...

I understand this, but there are about 4 or 5 names they are calling the Razr. And they are not always clear what phone people are talking about.
Razr
Moto Razr
Droid Razr
Razr (CDMA)
Razr (GSM)
When some people use the top 3 of this list interchangeably then that is where problems come up. I'm sorry to be that guy, but when I end up rooting my phone I don't want to brick it due to someone using the wrong name for the phone they made the Root/ROM for. Since I am not the only one that has shown that this could in fact become a problem, then maybe it should be looked into a bit further in the next few weeks as ROMS and other root methods come available.
AFAIK, the international version ships with an unlockABLE bootloader. The lock/unlock decision is left up to the carrier, and Verizon has elected to shut down the ability to unlock the bootloader on their devices.
Regarding the two sections... I've already said that to our moderator, but it seems that for now we have to write GSM or CDMA.
I'm sure anyway that when GSM and CDMA RAZR community will grow the admins will give us separate android development sections
Eg ...

Most of that information is horribly horribly outdated. Example, not being able to flash att software on a bell or international atrix. I' ve done it a hundred times. Even lots of pre-bootloader unlock information is still posted as "the way to go".. This thread is a great way to breathe new life into the atrix, relevent ,updated questions and answers , and new working links being one asset. I for one, have some very complex questions and the "noob" info just ain't gonna cut it. I'm starting off simple but I am an advanced android user just new with the atrix and I need to ping-pong and brainstorm with other users at the same level and figured this was a great way to troll the xda site for those more advanced users. And I know the thread will grow because if I'm asking these atrix hardware specefic questions surely there are many others that would like to know the same. If I'm in any way wrong, I'm sure a moderator on the worlds most informative cellular reference site will take this thread down..

Swiftks wrote the N00B guide quite some time ago before he was a forum moderator, and yes, a lot of the information in it is outdated now.
We have a Q&A section, which is where you posted this. If you would like an updated N00B guide then you will probably have to create one yourself, as I doubt Swift has the time to go through and update his. Posting a thread where people ask questions which are then answered in the thread will just cause things to end up being buried deep within pages of one thread. That's why there is a whole Q&A section. New questions are visible, and it's easier to search for already answered questions.
Additionally, any questions you ask have probably already been asked and answered, and on top of that, any answers you put in here may at some point become outdated also, and who will moderate keeping everything up to date in this thread. Much easier to just have the Q&A section which currently exists.
Oh ok .. my bad.. I was probably being a little greedy trying to create one place that had somewhat updated information and especially links.. kinda all in one spot newish. I definitely see your point but figured with some of the silly-fun posting, like ban the one above you, the forum could afford the hard drive space with another thread.. I can abandon the thread if everyone feels it should be... one thing for sure there wouldn't be any megaupload links in it, *yay* lol

Also, the problems I am having no one seems to have a straight answer.. bp issues seem to be taboo, and subject has been barely touched.. once I resolve these issues im having, my activities in the ATRIX forum will be pretty much helping other users with the information i've learned along the way to getting this horribly ota messed up 'trix up,running,and stable..

Oops.. I see what might have happened here. I made a mistake in using the wrong terminology. I didn't mean a new thread, I just meant the subject within the q&a thread. . Not sure but does that seem to make more sense caelant? Bottom line, I'd like to be able to come to xda/Motorola atrix/ q&a/,, I dunno, "q&a/atrix woes" for example, for new up to date information/links on problems that many people seem to be having at this time. . Problems such having to boot in no BP mode, ext 3-4 questions, more info on the recovery menu with the early usb enumeration option and such and what do all the options in there do and how to use them, file system layout, heat issues, basically problems that I see others are having as well lately.. I'm not lazy or anything, lol, I just think that if I kept all my findings restricted to this one area I'm in now , myself, and other atrix owners would greatly benefit... I have concentrated a lot of my time into each and every android device I've ever worked on, and theres quite a few and I must say this frickin atrix is the trickiest yet.. I love it though and can't put it down I've brought a few black screens back to life and this atrix o/s was damaged by an incomplete/completely botched ota update from bell froyo to GB then back to froyo.. My specialty you could say is finding the weirdest most improbable obstacles in everything I do and overcoming them. I like this atrix, even though the touch screen feels like an old lg gw620 eve,...lol (again). I have come a long way with the bricked unit I was dropped off and believe I can go a lot further if I stay right here.. I am more than willing to share and brainstorm my findings on this project with all the fine atrix users here on xda.. if I'm outta line , please people speak up..I think this whole idea can do no harm, and can only see positive results. I dunno, flame me people if I'm mistaken.. All the typing I've already done here I could of solved all the issues and shared the information. I know i could be a real asset to many Motorola users along with a few other manufactured brands here on xda....I'm new here but nit at the game.. seems this area is already getting polluted with my explaining my actions, which is exactly what I wanted to get away from. I do over explain don't i....but I do like to try to be thorough.. Grin.. cheers guys.. let's let majority rule..
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Not trying to flame you. I just see a Q&A thread in a Q&A forum as kind of redundant.
My advice would be search for any relevant threads and post in the thread specific to your issue/problem. If there is nothing that is quite the same as your issue/problem, then just create a new thread. I think one of the main things is making sure the thread title clearly states what the thread is about, and make sure to state it is not the same as any similar problems you have found in searches.
Also a good idea to mark a thread as [SOLVED] when it has been, and also make sure to post in the thread what the resolution was so others can see it.
Excellent , very well stated.Keen outlook you have I will admit.,I assumed as much looking over your busy post history. I wouldn't go as far as saying redundant though considering you must assume I have searched for the relevant information I need prior to even thinking of opening this subject "sub thread", (for lack of a better word), I'm just getting a little frustrated with this particular phone because I feel its all about this BP issue and I can't, for the life of me anywhere find much BP information about the atrix. You'd think with such options in the volume down boot menu as the trix has there'd be tons of information on repairing BP issues considering there's 4 or 5 options directly related to it in that fast boot menu.. Between trying to isolate applications and processes which are causing random/frequent reboots and repairing this BP error I must say I'm almost at wits end. Perhaps if you had these problems you might see that pertinent information is next to nill and very vague totally irrevelant or just pkain amature.. I really respect your advice and thank you for it, I can tell you also have a sharp mind, I'm just having a little trouble understanding why you wouldn't support an area, any area where dead links , outdated information, and general chit-chat about unrelated topics would be at a minimum. I'm so fed up of wading through mega-dead-load links, unrelated questions , and inexperienced advice. I don't have the time for that and its looking endless.. I've only had one brick in my repertoire, an x10, and it died mysteriously in my wifeys purse, and patience is running thin for me. I don't want to give up on a phone and throw it in the parts drawer,one that I've brought back to life and is scoring 4000 ish in quadrant scores, but I've been searching for about two weeks now and I've found next to nothing valuable besides a few nice fastwipe scripts. Really zero information on what I know is a common enough problem . What does everyone do, just junk such an intriguing piece of equipment? I'd Hate to say , sometime down the road, I used to have an atrix, worked well now and then, but there was one problem I just couldn't beat. That's gonna eat me up.. while it runs and doesn't reboot it makes my tweaked out infuse look silly and is Running close to my s2. I'm just about out of energy on this one. Has no one in the world fixed or even explored repairing BP issues? Thanks for listening caelent but let's not state the obvious.
