When you plug the HTC Hero in to a computer, you get the option to mount the SD card. Is there any way to make it so you can mount the root file system?
Nope, I think Linux lets you mount the SD's EXT but no way to mount the actual phones file system.....well maybe Droid Explorer, but its not gonna show up as a drive.
That's just the kind of thing I was looking for! Is there a Mac alternative to Droid Explorer?

Is there a way on the Vibrant to flash *.zip files like on the Nexus One? For example, I have a Mobile Defense as System App *.zip file that on the N1 I flash from the Recovery menu. Is this possible on the Vibrant? How else can I install System Apps?
it will be posible to flash .zip files in recovery once we get a custom recovery. there is a guy working on porting clockwork as we speak so it souldnt be too long before we can flash roms and kernals and other .zip stuff

You can only use the .zip flash function on the phone to manipulate some files. If you wanted to add a completely new rom you must use Odin. The clockwork recovery being done is still in it's very basic stage where nothing is working. So it's impossible to tell if they will get it to work especially since the bootloader is completely different from all other android phones.
Why not just inzip it on your computer and move the apk to your sd and install it that way?

Cause then it wouldn't be a system app. He could just use adb to push the file though.
Tried to push the file but I can't do adb remount. It says no such file or directory. What am I doing wrong?
Anyone??????
Your probably pushing the file to the wrong place.. Do you have the Samsung drivers and SDK installed?

Yes, because every other command works. Also, if you look, I am getting the error when not even trying to push. I am trying to do ADB REMOUNT.

Samsung devices use a different code to remount. Try this
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
This is ripped from the behold 2 so you might have to play with the directories
yeah, if anyone can figure out what the mount directories are from /dev/ it would be great. i'm trying to push my ringtones so that they dont show up in media scanner. seems like a simple trick, but when remount wont work and we dont know the mount directory, its harder than it seems.

Do you have root?
If so then it might just be because we don't know what mounting block to use.

You need to use something like Root Explorer to do that.

btw i try to run desktop virtualizer and also this program said that she dont have the right permission do to so. :<
thanks for your's help , mate ! :]
Do you have SDK installed? If so, just open up a command prompt and use:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm *insert path to specific file you want to remove*
Ctrl+C
exit

(when i run it, it's said "not have right permission")
if yes , how?
I have a question regarding the adb push command. Can the same thing be accomplished by moving files with root explorer? For example, adb push randomfile.xxx system/data, can I just move the file to system/data with root explorer? Sorry if my command lines are incorrect, im going off memory. Thanks

Yes you can do the same thing with any thing like Super Manager, root Explorer or Android Commander.
Thanks for the reply
Hey All,
I was trying to find a way to make a symbolic link to the SD card so all the movie programs could see it. On a FAT32 it looks like it isn't doable. You can, however, bind mount to a folder.
Here is the info. Credit goes to korora over at modaco.
You have to be rooted for this to work(or so it seems)
Pop open the terminal and enter the following code:
Code:
cd /mnt/sdcard
mkdir fssd
mount -o bind /Removable/MicroSD /mnt/sdcard/fssd
fssd is generic and can be named whatever you prefer.
Now to find your sd card in a program that can't access /Removable/MicroSD just navigate to /mnt/sdcard/fssd
hope this helps.
Wow, this is sexy! Thanks for this, I have only just done it and a quick poke around with ES File Explorer, but it also is nice because I can just open ES, it defaults to sdcard, so I scroll down to MicroSD (the directory I made) and there it is! I know it only saves me 2 taps of the screen, but still, it's nice. So I say, thanks for bringing it to my attention, as I don't follow those boards.
Thanks,
this is great and works perfectly!

No problem. Glad i could help
amazing how quickly threads get buried here.
Now to add it to the autos execute shell script so it binds every start up.
Neat! Makes me wanna root now Wonder if you could do the same with say a 500GB external USB drive
This is great but we need app developers to now start allowing us to select where we want app data.

Look for Script Manager in the market.
But I have another question: how can I have programs to save their own settings in this new links/directories?
I do not want to copy it by hand.....and I want to let software recognize their saved settings after a reinstall/restore....
Nice job,this works great,thanks.
sorry for the noob question...
where exactly to put in this code?
i tried making new script with the Script Manager and run it but it says:
CD: not found
mkdir failed for fssd, Read-only file system
mount: no such file or directory
but if it worked this workaround would've been great though
This is what mine says when I open up the script:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o bind /Removable/MicroSD /mnt/sdcard/MicroSD
This is with my directory named MicroSD of course. The first line was there when I made a new script so I left it. Not sure if that helps. I already made the directory so I didn't need that command.

i was trying to figure out where to put the mount line. Thanks, it worked great with script manager.
I have created some directories and files using "Android Terminal Emulator" (e.g. using commands mkdir, ls -al > fname.txt etc) on /mnt/external_sd. I can see these files when I do 'ls -al of /mnt/external_sd'. I can see them in ES File Manager as well. But they do not appear when I connect iconia to my XP PC. I see rest of the files "My Computer\Acer ICONIA TAB A500\SD Card". Can anybody help me ?
Thanks
This won't help much
Just a few words that your not the only one. It seems that files created on
the A500 and written to the external_sd are not seen by the PC. One theory of mine is that is a Acer Sync issue. It sure is annoying. Anyone else with the same problem or better yet an answer.

Can you still not see them after rebooting the tablet?
You should be able to after rebooting.
To avoid having to reboot, you can use SD Rescan.

Thanks for the tip. Reboot does the trick. Not only reboot, unmount and mount of sdcard does it too.

External_SD is not SDCARD. they are seperate entities in the tablet.
one is /mnt/external_sd
the other /mnt/sdcard <-- this one is what shows up on the PC

Actually they both show up on the PC. Not sure which ROM you're on, but stock 3.2 and ROMs built off of stock 3.2 show both internal as well as external.
