Does this mean you guys are using /sdcard as /data and are formating it to ext3? Because if so, then that's totally rad, and I was hoping someone would make a build doing that.

Android 4.2 uses fuse to create/emulate seperated storage per user. The sdcard is now mounted as /data/media and on top of that the sdcard(fuse)-daemon creates per user storage... that storage is then again symlinked to /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard etc for legacy support.

This AOSP build uses the normal vfat partition ( as that is what is was and is the easiest for most users ). I have repartitioned my ( sdcard=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 ) to ext4 and use a slightly modified init to mount that as /data/media.... so it is doable to repartition to ext2/3/4, but it comes with its dis-advantages as most roms will not mount it as they have vfat hardcoded in vold fstab.

Also dont forget that android uses groups/users to sandbox applications/services and so an android user != linux user. So storage permissions is also not on a linux user-base ( you could of course set permissions on folders on an ext partition so that eg only root can access them )

Yes, I agree :good:

bad that camera dont work :(

Known issue before you installed it .... :confused:

i hope it will be more stable in future..:(

I have to say it is far more stable already than the CM10-4.1.2 builds I've been using lately .... (stability != known missing features)

the sd card issue is fckn bad :( i copy it from 0 to old sd but now it is baq in 0 ..?!

No idea what you are talking about here. The ROM moves your SD contents to "0" automatically on install, perfectly. The only reason for moving the contents from "0" back to the root (/sdcard/) is if/when/after you go BACK to a <4.2 ROM, at which point you use the clear instructions in the OP for how to do it using ADB while in CWM. Don't see anything "fckn bad" about that my friend.

On a side note, accessing files in Windows Explorer works perfectly fine... not sure why people are up in arms about MPT vs. mass storage (unless for non-Windows reasons?)....

what version of CWM are you using? You need to be running the latest 6.0.1.9 which I believe fixes this issue.

Fixes what issue? I'm using 5.8.4.0 CWM-Touch, and am having no issues at all with this (or anything else), including moving back and forth between 4.1 and 4.2 ....

I think he is complaining about sd data being moved to "0" folder, he copies it back to sd root but it moves again. This is how it's designed to work! It's all about the new user account options and file/folder ownership, which is also the reason it's moved to MTP (as it will respect ownership).

As stated, once you're back on a non-4.2 rom you can copy things back....

And I don't think recovery affects this either, also on 5.8.4.0.

I'm wondering if the new recovery will store backups in /sdcard/0 instead of just /sdcard, but I am not sure how it would decide to use it... maybe a simple check if /sdcard/0 exists? (just a thought, no way to verify it right now).

    Me and rogro82 started to port Android 4.2 to the HTC One X

    Not Working
    • USB tethering (?)

    Installation instructions
    • BACKUP YOUR DATA (using CWM)
    • Verify that your backup is complete - a backup of your sdcard may also be a good idea (see below)
    • Verify that you are running hboot 1.26 or newer (hboot 1.39 is recommended)
    • Download the ZIP and the boot.img (see Downloads)
    • Copy the .zip to your sdcard and reboot into fastboot
    • fastboot flash boot boot.img, then boot into recovery
    • WIPE your phone (this is not optional)
    • Install the .zip and reboot

    Upgrading
    You can always upgrade to a newer version without wiping any data, formatting system or wiping the cache.
    But keep in mind that you must always flash boot.img + re-flash gapps after upgrading

    FAQ

    I can not upgrade my hboot to 1.3x, help!

    You can still run RC13:
    This was the last release using Linux 2.6 and will therefore work on older hboot versions. RC13 is stable enough for everyday-use.


    What kernel should i use?

    Use the stock kernel from boot.img - there is nothing wrong with it. Using a different boot.img or/and kernel will just break stuff.


    Even more links!

    For people wondering:

    Although its an AOSP build it does have multi-user support which originally is only available on tablets in AOSP ( users can be added in settings )

    Pab i have bluetooth working :) will have to track all my changes...

    Camera

    Using this ROM for 2 weeks now. Love it, but like with all AOSP roms I'm not happy with the camera so I decided to actually help the community instead of the usual whining.

    I've attached a pimped Camera (which is included in the Gallery, therefore the complete Gallery2.apk has to be replaced) which includes this new features:

    -Included all native camera scene modes that our HOX Camera is capable of
    -HDR Quick Toggle (which is nothing else than background-hdr scene mode)
    -Added more exposure settings (max camera value is 12, min is -12, therefore +3 = 12, +2 = 8, +1 = 4, 0 = 0, -1 = -4, -2 = -8, -3 = -12)
    -Added 6MP wide picture size (3264x1840)
    21
    Pab we might wanna give WiFi tethering as a (early) Christmas present ;)

    to fix:

    in netd / SoftapController.cpp:

    just return 0 in
    int SoftapController::fwReloadSoftap(int argc, char *argv[])

    and use hostapd from android 4.1 ( i just copied the entire wpa_supplicant_8 folder from 4.1, but only copied hostapd after compiling ) as atleast wpa_driver_ap_params has changed and therefor hostapd_drv_set_ap(hapd, &params) in beacon.c fails.

    Have done some basic testing using phone + tablet and connection seems to be fine ( tested Open and WPA2 PSK ).
