Yeah, I forgot about it since I don't actually own an sdcard. Maybe in R I'll add support for it if I still continue Lake. The user base is very very small, so not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze.

I totally understand, but if you do it would be very appreciated. Thank you for all the work! :good:

Does this exFAT problem cause the sdcard to be emptied? Or is the sdcard not accessed?

I believe not accessed. It shouldn't wipe the contents.

But can the sdcard be used? I'm asking why my sdcard has a lot of content and is used a lot ...

It should be fine on other filesystem formats like ext4. Like I said before though, I don't actually own an sdcard so I would've never caught this ahead of release and no further work is being done here for Q.

but the other roms have exfat support like Pixel Experience, LineageOS and Evolution OS
edit:

Android R ready W.I.P

edit:

Android R is already working

Use those other ROM's if they have everything that you need.

 

[xacuiabas]

Are you suggesting not to install and use your rom? Why?

 

[NYCHitman1]

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just telling that guy to use another project if that project has everything that he needs.

I, nor anyone, in DU will ever try to "sell" DU. Use it if you wish, if not -- that's cool too.

advice:
there are developers who label the rom as stable ok,but there comes a time when the user tries it and finds its error or bugs and is disappointed,
And I wasn't asking for this rom either, I'm just a free time tester.
if a developer or a user asks me: you can test me, I simply say yes of course

and I already quoted to talk about this topic and we made clear the issue, that you have good day

As an actual developer, we (developers vs. users) have two very different definitions of "stable" -- I come from a line of devices (Pixel) that do not use sdcards and so for the past ~6-7 years, I have not used one. Personally, I don't see the value in them. I understand that you require it and that's fine, but that doesn't just magically make the work at hand "unstable" because you can't use an exFAT formatted sdcard.

Furthermore, as I originally said -- it's a small oversight. Let's not make this into a bigger thing than it really is. It's just an sdcard, after all.

They are aware but not going to fix it until they release DU based on Android 11. It sucks, I know, but i'm just relating what was tweeted at me.

I love this DU rom...so clean I was to access sd card only from stock file manager which is usable... and yes I had to move my media off external to internal which isnt that big of a deal so my apps could access...... I'm sure a future update will be ready with the access our device has steamed rolled on Roms and updates and if you have been around custom Roms for awhile that means they are pushing through for ANDROID 11 builds....Which will start dropping in the next two three months possibly... I remember how it was with the Kitkat through Nouget years and how crazy it was for devices to get updates and actual development.... Thats when i started learning researching and READING past forums on hints and tricks....We are spoiled now...with monthly updates...

I for one would love for you to continue with Lake on R.

 

[Teo S.]

I followed the instructions for installing and at the end twrp didnt detect an os installed on neither slot. I could only boot to the du recovery.
