All questions on the support of external devices to Morka.
I have not changed anything in his ROM.
Can only be judged on the composition listed in rum modules and libraries.
And impossible to support all kinds and types of connected devices.
In addition, he has positioned his rum, as a test.

I do not understand that the problems with access to internal and external flash memory?
I have everything working. I can copy from one to another in any order. When installing large applications are automatically transferred to an external SD.

Sowa, see this post
Same problem on the 10G2.

Sorry Sowa but this turned it to the rom from HELL and would advise people to stay clear...7 and a half hours later 6 reflashes of this rom and HECK it just refuses to work correctly...On the last flash I actually managed to reinstall all my apps but then the language changed to Korean or chinese and COULD NOT be turn back to english so pretty much every menu was useless and on a reboot well it stuck at the arnova 8 g2 screen!!!!!!!!

Pretty much after every reboot it stuck at the arnova screen resulting in a reflash...Tried 1gig,2gig param files always the same result and on two occasions I hadn't installed any user apps... The rom is sluggish and apps FC regular and the lkist goes on... Am nolonger wasting time on this rom.... As is a pointless exercise and the frustration and anger it has brought out is just not worth it...

reflashing 5rc1s as best rom you hae ever made


But This is the WORST rom I have flashed of yours or Morka's and indeed the worst I have EVER flashed on any device and thats saying something...

Looking forward to a better rom and hope it's yours.

loatse may I wouldn't be so harsh, I am experience problems but your reply seemed very down. These problem could be in part due to a very small error, ram etc and could take 1 line of code to fix. I am having problem also however I am waiting for 4.0 to come it until then I am using my device to test out roms and give feed back.

I have yet to reflash but my device fails to save setting or apps, after each boot it's fresh.

Sometimes very sluggish

No internal storage.

I am glad SOWA been working so hard and we do appreciate it, I hope this problem is fixed if you need any tests I am more than happy to help. Not great at programming.

[lohtse]

I was unduly harsh with my comment but after over 7 hours and 6 reflashes of this rom all I had was hell in a rom... No matter what I did it simple would not work...It either would not boot again after first reboot...Or the pre installed apps FC'ed or after getting it setup and everything installed and looking like it was sorted it would not boot after a reboot. And then no bluetooth,gps,adhoc,etc working.... And these are just the issues I can remember!!!

On returning back to v5sRC all's well again... My Tablet is working and working great as before...


It seems that EVERY rom that has been based on Morka's rom(after v5sRC) there has been issues...

PLEASE Sowa go back to you rom and improve that, Just forget combining Morkas with yours and simple build on yours. It always worked with only a few issues. But now if rarely works and has many many issues....

In principle, our kernel (2.6.32.27) ext4 FS is unstable. For the stable operation is better to use ext3 and staff Android 2.3 with no forced ads on the Android 3.
Maybe I will make ROM with these requirements, developments fenice57 support external devices and the ability to resize userdisk.

This ROM please consider a test.

Thank you for your reply(replied in other post regard sd comments)

Have stuck with your roms through out and always hope to do so. And as I stated roms v4-v5sRC(with ext4!) have always been stable and worked well but since you moved to morka system they have become a nightmare and have always ended up reflashing back to v5sRC rom and all's well again...

Please don't take offense from my comments was extremely frustrated at the wasted time and effort.

I have ALWAYS APPRECIATED your hard work and the fact you have listened to what we have asked...

THANK YOU for everything..

@lohtse

Thank you for your enthusiasm and your time and nerves for testing and commenting on the new "raw" ROM. Morka promises stable version 1.15 try it one time, all the same it is a step forward, not even a variation of stock ROM.

[lohtse]

Think for the mo will stick with v5sRC as am a little to frustrated to flash for awhile....

[gibbonsmartin]

Originally had similiar problems to lohtse, but recently installed morkas 1,16 rom and now reinstalled sowas 5.4 and it seems more stable. Could the new boot firmware that Morka uses fix some of the problems? Ill play for a bit longer and see if i get any problems.

Many thanks to all the rom developers out there

[gibbonsmartin]

Only problem I've had is with the text not being displayed correctly in some applications, I've extracted the fonts from Sowa's version 5 and used fontchanger to change all the DroidSans fonts and appears OK now.

The Applications I was having problems with were AIDE and Terminal IDE.
