I also got a WD 500 gb and it worked fine whereas I had to use paragon and inside the app mount the drive. You could also try a different kernel, e.g. siyah, that supports ntfs without an app if I am not wrong.

when I first connected the WD I was still on stock kernel, hence I used paragon app to mount the NTFS WD.
right now I am using Siyah 1.8 whereas I did not yet again connect the WD to my phone, I only read that Siyah supports to mount NTFS drives.

USB OTG not recognized

Hi all,
I flashed Checkrom Revo HD v6 and the latest Siyah kernel. Everything's cool except my SGS2 is no longer recognizing my USB OTG. It worked fine on other SGS2 so it has to be my phone. Is it my ROM or is it the kernel?

Flash a stock kernel and/or stock ROM and find out.
Using Siyah 2.6.13#122 & just checked USB OTG. Hooked up a Lexar 8MB stick with an Xvid movie on it, navigated to /sdcard/usbdisk with file manager (Root Explorer) & stick is mounted r/o as per usual. Video plays fine in native video player, USB OTG works.
Could it be the rom then?

Ubuntu 12 on i9300?

Hi just seeing if it is possible to install Ubuntu using the Omega ROM or if anyone has tried it as the stock ROM gives a ' loop device '. So basically anyone know if the Omega ROM is loop-Device enabled please.
Many thanks.

I installed Backtrack (based on Ubuntu) on my Omega V3 rom a few hours ago. No problems at all. I could even hook up my mouse and my keyboard via OTG and use them inside Backtrack.

Used it for ~30 minutes. It can't compete with my dedicated server but it's definitely usable and stable.

Do you know if i can only install an custom kernel which will work with ubuntu for the SGS 3 (loop device)? instead of installing the omega rom?
Doesn't the stock kernel support it? Well, you should be able to flash a kernel with loop support to make it work.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah but which kernel? And will i lose data if I do?
Have you tried running Ubuntu with the stock kernel? Only if it did NOT work, use another kernel. You won't loose your data by doing so. Just look up in the development forum which Kernel Omega uses (I think it was IntraTech's Insecure Kernel), find a download link for your version (e.g. ALE8, 9, D, F) and flash it.

No with the stock kernel it does not work.... sadly
i tried ubuntu 12 with omega v4 but loop devices still not enabled. any suggestions?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I did the same here, i now have root and omega v4.
With orginal script a error that says unable to create loop device.
With latest script it says:
"ubuntu.sh[23]: cut: not found
Error: This script requires root! Type: su
1|[email protected]:/sdcard/ubuntu # su
[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu # sh ubuntu.sh
ubuntu.sh[23]: cut: not found
Error: This script requires root! Type: su
1|[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu #"
I am really getting agritated....
What the hell am i doing wrong?
Only thing i can think of is that member68 got it working with omega 3 because maybe omega 3 has a kernel with loop and omega 4 does not, anyone?
Really appreciate all help!

So you only installed omega v3.0 and backtrack worked?
Not another kernel or something?
I had Chainfire's insecure kernel installed before I installed Omega V3. After that, I switched to V4 and it's still working.

[Q] Custom roms that support 64 GB microSD(sdxc) ?

Hello
Do any of you know of any custom roms that will 100% support the use of microSD 64 GB cards (SDXC)? Both of the roms i use (ICS Slim 4.2 and Energy HD 1.7) do not. I'm testing and testing roms but so far no luck.
Thanks in advance
roms have nothing to do with the compatibility of sdcards.... The kernel does

Slim ICS is running the Siyah kernel which should support the exfat module right? Not working.
Try formatting your partition as fat32.
You'll need to remove the card from the phone and use a special program on the computer to do so.
Compatibility with fat32 should be far better than with exfat.
Altough you could try formatting it with ntfs, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for the suggestion but even if i would want to lose write/read speeds by doing that, I still wouldn't be able to do i because I do not have a card reader anymore.
After searching all over, the answer was closer than I thought. OMEGA 7.1 did the trick for me. Thank you again for the help.

[Q] No external storage available? CM 10.1

Hey guys, today I flashed CM 10.1 Final Release on my Sprint GS3 and whenever I try to use the camera or gallery, I get a message saying "No external storage available." Any help?

Put your Micro SD in your PC and !back your Micro SD card up!, install Acronis Disk Director and format your Micro SD from exFAT to FAT32.
You will lose all your data on your micro sd card if you format it. Back it up!
CUSTOM ROMS ONLY SUPPORT FAT32.
IT DOESNT SUPPORT exFAT.
:thumbup: Good luck!
Sincerely,
Rareme.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Also it could be due to a bug in the rom. Try reflashing the rom if the method mentioned by the poster above me doesn't work.

My tablet came with one partition out of the box (unlike my sgs2)
Thanks for the reply, I'll flash my tablet a soon as I can (I'm guessing any begin of aio works since intsd is focused on cm and not the device)
