Great work on this.

Any way to get exFAT working on this? It seems to be working fine on the version from Dees_Troy (my card is formatted exFAT).

The tree Dees_Troy put up is here: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_htc_m8_whl (I'm sure you already know this)

I also caught him on IRC yesterday and he said he'd look at any errors in the source tomorrow, as I was having issues building with it as-is. With all the additional updates you had to make, it's no wonder!

I'm not sure can you give mine a try and tell me if your card mounts? I have nothing formatted to test it. As for the code I got it all cleaned up and working. I also fixed the segfaults :)

Looks like exFAT is working fine (though external SD isn't mounted by default). And great job on fixing the seg faults.

The one thing missing is offmode charging support, which I believe Dees_Troy did include on his tree. Besides that, it looks great.

Offmode charging just needs a bit of tweaking. Im working with the init files to get them fully working. I like to do things as clean as possible :)

Thanks for testing exfat btw
No problem. I took your version and updated the init.rc real quick and added the offmode_charging binary to /sbin to fix the offmode charging for myself in the meantime ;).

Hasoon just build the one in my github.... It's not stable enough for a actual release (exfat and such) either. So I'd prefer my work stays out of a toolkit for now. Until I fix kernel bugs please don't place it in the tool

I see you don't want to share the one with your special source that's cool though....

I don't know what this means.

I'm still working on getting mine to build properly. There's a version in the OP here, one on the TeamWin site, and one in my thread. I'm not sure why you'd need another one.

When I get the source all worked out, I do plan on updating the version in my thread, but there do still appear to be some glitches with the recovery, so I wouldn't really recommend distributing it outside of the threads where they're posted.

I think that's enough OT for this thread. Sorry @simonsickle.

Seems to working fine for me, and is pretty official being on twrp site, perhaps just infancy and would need update soon as new one was made official

It's not ready. At all. The twrp site includes my fix for segfaults But there's no exfat yet. Be patient, and let bugs get worked out. I do not want to have to ignore people who lack technical skill because they flashed a buggy recovery.... And trust me they will complain if they just click a button to install it.

Oh ok. Glad I'm not going crazy. Guess I'll just try not to edit things without having a back up. Thanks

I've got some experimental changes I'm testing. Was a small bug somewhere in the code. Also I'm going to build a kernel with write protection removed
