[Q] chunkydroidROM and 2.2 pc can't read SD card

[match417]

So, here's my problem. My sd card reader won't read something as large as 16gigs and I've installed the stripped down winmo version chunkydroidrom so I can run android 2.2 smoothly. Everything works great, battery hasn't gotten hot yet and I'm loving it. But, I can't read the SD card with chunkydroidrom through activesync because that is stripped out of the the build, and android 2.2 doesn't allow the sd card to be read since the ROM is running from it. I run ubuntu on my laptop as well as windows. And I can't get ubuntu to read the sd card through chunkydroidROM either. It's not that big of a deal, i might go out and buy another card reader. But I would rather be able to transfer files easier. Is there a way to connect the laptop and phone wirelessly? Like ftp the stuff over or something?

Android does allow you to read the sd card via USB while running it. Did you try it, or you just assumed it didn't?
Also, try the WinMo ROM is my sig. Stripped down, but allows you to connect your phone via USB and r/w on your sd.

You have to enable it before you can use it. On most builds I've tried (non-sense), when you connect it notifies you, and asks if you want to enable. If it doesn't ask directly, it's usually available if you drop down the top toolbar.
