Extract this in /system/bin/ and add those lines at the very end of /init.rc

# Some final stuff
service mount_sdcard /system/bin/mount_sdcard.sh
   oneshot

This is something I use now, and I'll put with other changes in next release - it's a script that mounts third ext4 partition under /mnt/storage/sdcard AFTER Vold mount's /mnt/storage.

I finally got a MicroSDHC card to test with... I finally got it working.. but there are a few issues that I seem to be having..

1. when booting from sd I still get the SD card broken error.. (not an issue just annoying)
2. I am only getting 1500-1600 scores when using Quadrant.. This is no different then the stock memory.. This may be due to me using a class four card however

I know it is working since terminal is available to get root access typing su..

1. Do as in howto says - edit vold.fstab
2. Make sure you use overdrive cpu settings (Settings->Device info->Power management) (1Ghz)

Pardon for the newbie question, I suppose I can modify the script and it will work for fat32 partition?

mount_dev=/dev/block/mmcblk2p3 (assuming that this is fat32 partition instead of ext4)
mount_opt="-t fat32 -o noatime"

Since we have root with this ROM the instructions linked should be able to get adhoc working as well as normal WiFi. It's worth a shot anyway.

Not exactly like this - but close. Please - just wait I've already made it auto recognizing partition type - but requires some more tools/libraries installed that I can't share without rest of system (it's pointless) - read changelog in first post.

I'll give a try this AdhocAble.apk

I am not very knowledgeable regarding Linux, but I do have a system installed and have been attempting to partition my micro sd card. I have completed the Flash Kernel and Initramfs without any problems. But every time I boot to the Developer Edition is hangs on the 2nd splash screen. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong on my partitioning. Can someone post an idiot proof step by step guide for partitioning and exactly where to place the rootfs so I can boot to it? Thanks!

Fast (and dry run - so can be with some errors...) - please make sure what device is your sdcard (use 'dmesg') - assuming it's /dev/sdb and sdcard is 2GB or more.

su
fdisk /dev/sdb
p (shows partition)
d number (delete partition by number - delete all of them)
n (new partition)
p (as primary)
1 (as first partition)
1 (as first block)
+512M (as 0,5 GB size)
n
p
2
just enter
+1G (second partition done)
n
p
3
just enter
just enter
w (as write)

Then format it

su
mkfs.ext4 -O ^huge_file /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext4 -O ^huge_file /dev/sdb2
mkfs.ext4 -O ^huge_file /dev/sdb3
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb (or some other mountpoint if /mnt/usb does not exist)
cd /mnt/usb
tar -zxf /pathtofile/rootfs.tar.gz
sync
umount /mnt/usb

Your done...

Lets assume I have a 16gb. So now I have Archos 70 with 256MB ram + 8 GB Internal memory + 16 GB SD card. Lets assume I go through successfully with the process. Here are my questions

• What happens to the apps that I already had on my archos under /system/app? Do they get moved to new SD card?
• Does the 8gb internal memory become available to me for my stuff? Music etc?
• How to I revert to factory settings?
• Can I install Market, adw.launcher, titanium backup, root explorer and other apps?

Apologize for newbie questions, I read the thread and could not figure out.

Can someone answer please?
