Couldn't you repartition with CWM and make the partition 4GB instead of 2? Not sure on this particular tablet though.

I have a 32gb micro sd installed i want to move all the installed apps to it

You could try manually moving them over and making a symbolic link where they were originally. A pain but if its a proof of concept then an app can be made to do it.
From what I've surmized Acer (and perhaps all tablet makers) changed the name and/or file structure from that of normal android phones. App2sd expects to have the old file system. I'm not sure how app2sd works internally but the sym link thing would be a guess of top of my head.

for different reasons, I'd like to learn how to create symbolic links to folders. I'd like to place one in my /sdcard folder in order to point to /external_sd, this way I'll see the external sd directly when I browse the tablet with my PC, like it's possible with the virtuous_galaxy rom..
can U help?
TIA

You might try using this simple method which I first posted in another thread and regarding a different subject. It might do what you want.
For anyone who wants to see the contents of their sd card on their PC and be able to copy/transfer files from one to the other, why not give this a try, it is very simple and works for my A500.
Before you start you need your A500 to be rooted and you need "USB Mount All version 1.3" from the Market cost $1.99
(1) Have your PC switched on, don't connect your A500 yet but switch the A500 on.
(2) Run USB Mount All and you will see your sd card as a "Device" named "ext_sdcard".
(3) Press the tab "Mount" next to your ext_sdcard. You will see two messages "Mount has been granted Superuser permission" and "Device successfully mounted".
(4) Press the "Menu" tab in the top Right hand corner of the screen, this opens a small box entitled "Settings". Press on "Settings" and you get 3 options, make certain all 3 options are ticked, ticking them if they are not. (The important thing is to have "Mount on Bootup" ticked"). Press the Back Arrow twice to get back to Home Page or where ever you started from.
(5) Re-boot the A500 and after it is back running connect it to your PC using mini usb connector.
(6) Now check your PC and open Windows Explorer, you will find under your A500 Device most of the folder/directories that are in /mnt/sdcard (which isn't all that relevent to this) BUT importantly you will find a folder/directory entitled "ext_sdcard" which for those of you who noticed is the exact name that "USB Mount All" called your sd card.
(7) Now use Windows Explorer to copy and paste whatever you want into the "ext_sdcard" folder.
(8) Please note that when you start to copy files you will get up a warning box stating "Do you want to copy XXXXX to your device?". You are given 2 choices (1) No skip this file or (2) Yes.
(9) Put a tick in the box at the bottom Left and click on "Yes".
(10) When finished safely disconnect your A500 from your PC and re-boot your A500.
(11) After re-boot go back into "USB Mount All", chose top Right menu and settings box and remove the tick from the 3rd option "Mount on Bootup". Each time you are going to copy, move or delete files first of all put the tick back in the 3rd box and when you're done take it out.
Your Done. If you use any File Explorer to look at /mnt/external_sd you will see all the files residing on your sd card including those you've just copied.

Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.

Adding own ringtone to a NAND

Hi,
Could someone please tell me where I put my mp3 file so that 'sound settings' detects it as a ringtone. I used to put it in the media folder for SD roms but obviously that's all changed.
Thanks.
Hi,
I found the folder in NAND but putting the file in there didn't work. I'm not sure but all the ringtones were using .ogg format so it didn't see the mp3 file. Even tried converting to ogg but didn't work either!
I managed to get the ringtone applied by using "music" app, finding the mp3 on my sd card, hit the menu button and select "set as ringtone".
This was the only way I found
If you find a better method, let me know as the stock gingerbread ringtones are cr*ap.
I just have the media folder on my SD card, and it still picks up all my custom ringtones and notifications in every nand build I've tried.

I used this method but during connection to pc as mass storage mode, the ringtone and and notifications will revert back to default internal ringtone as the sdcard is not seen by the system.
It's a strange one. I'm sure someone out there knows the answer.
With winmo you just navigated to the sounds folder on the device.
Anyone?
Just dropped an MP3 in ringtone folder and it's working fine...
You'll need a file manager with root access. I use "Super Manager" and the following instructions are specific to that application but will be similar in any other file manager.
Note: Before you begin make sure you have enabled the root function in the system settings.
1. Select the file you want to move...longpress on the file and select copy from the menu that pops up.
2. Navigate to /system/media/audio/ringtones
3. Press the windows hardbutton and select "Switch System R/W" to enable writing to the system directories.
4. Longpress the screen, when the menu pops up select paste.
5. Exit and reboot (ringtone won't appear until you reboot)

Problem with that is that when connected to the PC nothing on the SD card can be read.

Serious? When you say connected to PC, you mean connect phone to pc with android running? Well, depending on which build. Desire/DesireHD, you will need to unmount the sd card in settings->storage in order to use the phone as a usb mass storage device. If you are using Gingerbread build, you will have to use Multi-mount.
Unless you are my hero, and you went full ext2/ext3/ext4 partition for the whole sd card without fat32.
Then it would be almost useless in a card reader with a windows 7 pc.

when the phone rings .it ring with the old ringtone from system-->media-->>audio-->>ringtons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
a dual mount sd app would help if you don't want the usb to kick your sd card every time that you use mass storage

DHD error Mounted ReadOnly

Hi all, I have seen ths problem cropping up and now it has happened to my little old DHD. I did nothing specific to start this error. I have popped my sd card in an adapter the tried to browse some files via my PC, the only folded which it cannot read due to being corrupt is a folder called Android.
Is there any solutions or will I need a format?
Thanks
Use disk kontrol
In explorer right click on the memory card and select properties.
Under the second tab choose the first button.
Make sure that the first box is selected.
Click start and let it run.
When it's finished, the memory card should be working again.

micro SD. Not showing in file manager [SOLVED]

As the title says. I've put the microsd card of my htc g2/z in the iconia and its working. Though i cant seem to find it anywhere in my file managers. (Music app shows ext. Sd content) tried es and file manager for honeycomb. I want to transfer music and video's over to internal sd. Since acer does not have usb drivers for mac, this is kind off my only option. Right?
SOLVED:
1.
Micro SD card slot shows up under: /mnt/external_SD.
So in your file explorer you have to go to root, and then mnt.
2. There are no mac drivers for the acer A500. You can try http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Though, that program seems to crash alot!
3.
Transfer your files from mac to A500 using USB sticks, SD cards, FTP servers (loads in market).
USB stick can be found: mnt/external_USB

No it isn't your only option, you install this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/.

I will check it out. Thanks alot!
**edit**
Android file transfer keeps crashing as soon as i connect the tab. Tried reboot, but still crashing.
Any other solutions? I've tried FTP and such apps. They work, but ofcourse not as fast as usb connection.
and why is my micro sd card not showing in file explorers?
if you're using es strogs file manager than you first need to go to root (click on the left most icon on top) than go to /mnt than /external_sd <-- that's your micro sd card than simply copy and paste your files from there to your internal storage.

Thanks. This makes copying my music alot easier.
Dual File Manager works too. When you start it, just hit the Android back button and you'll see "external_sd"
Sucks that it doesn't mount on my PC though.

I use Winamp on the desktop and the A500. It syncs music from my desktop machine to my tablet automatically whenever my tablet connects to my home wifi.
just put the card in and power down/on the device.
as mentioned, power down fully, not just On/off until the screen blanks. Found out the hard way, lazy person that I am.
Odd thing I've found though is that when connecting my Acer tab to my Acer .... err ... laptop ... feels so incestuous .... is that the mSD card appears as simply "SDCARD" while it's external_SD from the device itself. Ah the sweet smell of O/S kludges in the morning

No need to power off > back on. Just put the sd card in and voila! It worked right away. Just could not find the sd card in ES file. But now I know it's under mnt/external_SD/
actually I wouldn't call it solved, its kind of an annoyance if anything else. Titanium Backup for one won't see it, I thought honeycomb was going to mnt internal as essc (or something like that) and the external sd as sdcard?
You can soft link it (now that we have root) but that won't carry across a reboot for now.
any how still loving this thing!

Nice Thinks you can do with a rooted A500 #1

Hi,
After I rooted my A500 via this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539 (read it ALL) I started making my A500 a tool for my business. As this is happening I will post thinks that you may find interesting and useful.
So this is my #1 think that I did with my A500
I make it a samba server
For those who don't know what samba is read here http://www.samba.org/. In short samba is a way to copy / move files between your A500 and your PC via the WiFi local network you may have. That is no cables, no sync problems, no extra software in your PC!
Steps
1. Download and install this excellent free tool https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba on your A500.
2. Run it and Accept the first screens.
3. Goto "Menu" --> Settings.
4. Click "Password" and set one (max 8 chars).
5. Click "Username" and set one.
6. Click "Workgroup Name" ans set it the same with your PC's workgroup name. Here is How you can find it http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/find-the-workgroup-name/.
7. Click "NETBIOS Name" and type a unique name for your network. For example "MYA500". It is better not to use spaces.
8. Exit the Settings and restart the program.
9. Wait until the message "Disabled - Not Running" appears right under the samba logo.
10. Now click the samba logo (the word "samba" at the top) and wait until a window appears that informs you about the service status.
11. If the message "Enabled - Running" appears then you are ready to go.
12. Open the run command on your pc (WIN KEY + R) and type \\<NETBIOS name> (for example \\MYA500) and press enter.
13. Enter the username and password that you set earlier and click OK.
Voila! Your A500 Internal's memory files at your disposal...
UPDATE:
ICONIA A500 SAMBA SERVER DELIVERED!!!
Make your A500 a Samba Server with the ability to share both Internal and External memory and even the root File System
Finally I made it happen. You can read a nice How to I prepared (It's a little bit long) here: http://www.chdcomputers.gr/en/mnu-kb-en/mnu-kb-android-en/mnu-kb-android-devices-en/mnu-kb-android-a500-en/258-art-kb000006-en
If you are an Advanced user who knows what he/she is doing then the trick is to replace the /data/data/com.funkyfresh.samba/files/samba-rc with the attached one and change its rights to rwxrwxr-x finally copy the 2nd attached file to the same directory and you are ready.
If you are not understand this then read the how to above it is very detailed and relatively easy to follow...
Thanks,
Christos

Nice!
Ty
works fine....nice to have this option...,.....cant access external sd though
Nice, thanks
@ bytemehard - you can see your external_sd card if you first use the market app "USB Mount All". When the mount all screen comes up just "mount" your external_sd card. Then you can see it on your PC through Samba.

Because this cames from the original samba project it is possible to see every partition on your device (including external sd) from your pc. The developer has enabled only the internal storage for safety reasons. You have to enable the other partitions from the configuration files of the app but this is an advanced task with security risks. However I am preparing a how to for this because I need to access my external_sd as well, when the tests are done I will post it here...

Hmmmmm......Why would I have to mount a card with 'usb mount all', when its already mounted? Anyone else with usbmountall tried this?
@ bytemehard - with respect - your external_sd does not become "mounted" by default (this is just the way Acer chose to implement the sd card). If you use the app "USB Mount All" you will see that your card is not "mounted" so you have to click the "mount" button alongside your external_sd card which (along with any USB hard drives that you have attached) is displayed.
The fact that your external card is not "mounted" in the true sense of the word does not stop you seeing it's contents when viewed normally through your A500.

I dont know if it is for safety reasons as you suggest or just unfinished business....I see a media scan tab but it does nothing that i can see.
Still a nice app....Good luck with your project

@metpolds
If I hear what your saying, shouldn't drive mount or ntfs mount do the same. I did experiment with those with no luck.
See the external sd via Samba Server (Rough way)
A quick and rough way to "see" the external_sd in the samba shares is this:
1. Disable samba server and close the app
2. Open Terminal Emulator and type
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/externalsd
mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd /mnt/sdcard/externalsd
exit
3. Close Terminal Emulator
4. Open Samba Server and Enable it
Now you will be able to see your external's sd contents via the \\<your a500 NETBIOS name>\sdcard\externalsd directory in your pc.
This will not survive reboots and I don't think that is a good idea to put it in .rc files because if the external sd fails for some reason (or extracted by the user) it may have unexpected results...

Maybe you are right. My first test indicates that the program may has unfinished parts but I 'll give it another shot when I have the time...
BTW MediaScan option works. What it does is to rescan media files in your sdcard to make them available in media programs in the device. For example if you copy some images from the pc to the device and you want to see them with the android image viewer you can use this option to make them available...
@ bytemehard - no argument with what you are saying - "USB mount all" was one of the first apps I installed after rooting my A500 and it does everything I want it to - "Drive Mount" does all these things as well - they both look after drives that are formatted other than Fat32 and basically there is not much to chose between them. I chose usb because I had aso installed a couple of other apps by the same developers and they were working fine and I suppose I thought "......why eat oranges when you have a case of apples" - lol. As for "ntfs" where's it gone? seems to have vanished from the market.
Anyway I can assure you USB works in Samba and shows the contents of the external card and I am certain Drive Mount will do the same.
on your pc are you seeing 2 seperate drives? one being the sdcard and the other externalsd.......or do you have a symbolic link in the directory sdcard of the externalsd?
also what are your settings in usb mount all.....?
Hey finally got 10 posts...
@ bytemehard
Using Win7 64 bit.
1. In Win Explorer you see the left hand pane and I see for example....... Computer >
Network> HENDON1(My PC name)>PETEA500(The netbios name I called my Tab in Samba)
2.If I open up "PETEA500" I get "sdcard" (not teaching you how to suck eggs but this is very
misleading due to Acer's weird setup and file naming convention because this is NOT your
external card.
3. If I open up "sdcard" I have a list of folders in the A500. Mine start off with - .dataviz -
eachscape_tmp - .FileExpert - .mobo - pfs - Alarms - Android ...... etc.etc. Obviously you will
have some folders different to me.
4. Go down the list until you see DCIM - documents - Download - ext_sdcard (this really
is your SD Card)
5. If you open up the folder ext_sdcard you will see all the folders and files on your
external card.
This is dependent on you having already used "USB Mount All" or "Drive Mount" to
"mount" your external card. There are no settings to set in "USB" you just run the app
and the screen is self explanatory.
I'm using Samba Filesharing app, and Drive mount.
My external SD card is mounted in Drive Mount.
I can access my internal files just fine over WIFI but can't see the external card.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank You
I also cannot access my external sd card files, but that is because the Samba Filesharing only shows what is on /mnt/sdcard. And yes, my external sd card is mounted. In order to access that, you would need to be able to access /mnt/"your_ext_sd_card".
I'm thinking you can probably create a shortcut to /mnt/"your_ext_sd_card", and then move that shortcut to /mnt/sdcard, where it should be viewable from the Samba Filesharing.
I'll have to wait to get home from work and test this, though.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Since I mounted the card with Drive Mount I have two entries when I check using FileManager HD. One listed as External_sd and the second as is titled by DriveMount.

If that is correct one of the two listings for my SD card should appear on the internal list.
( I just checked details for both listings and they claim creation was December 31 1969.)
@GullyFoyle - I'm sorry to say that I have no idea why you can't see your external card. I note that you are using "DriveMount" which I don't have (as I've said I use "USB Mount All") so I don't know whether there are settings that should be set. Like you guys I only came to Samba as a result of this post and I can only say that my method was to switch on my tab, set up Samba as per OP's instructions and when I had it running I also could not see my external card but a couple of months ago while working with other apps I found the same problem and eventually realised I had to "mount" the external card in "USB Mount All" so last night that is what I did - restarted Samba and there it was.
@Digil - What I've said above applies to your problem in part, although I really don't know why you've got to change settings to get there. The "sdcard" folder (which is your Internal memory) shows through /mnt/sdcard but this is not your external card. Your external card is in the folder /mnt i.e. /mnt/ext_sdcard. As said above I can only really talk about using "USB Mount All". Sorry no suggestions. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge than me can explain it better.
For both of you - don't know if this affects anything? - I have not changed to HC 3.2 still running HC 3.1 rooted with Iconia Root._
USB Mount All
Yea, seems as though Drive Mount wont create a link to external sd in the sdcard directory .......It will create a link on the root directory and /mnt,
both not accessible using Samba fileshare.....
So Looks like usbmountall may be the way to go.
Thanks for the info

[FIX] Stop Settings FC'ing when you select the Storage option

So, you're getting a Force Close when you select the Storage option in Settings, huh? Well, luckily, I discovered a fix!
Firstly, it's your external SD Card. Which, we will fix. However, first let's clarify the issue, just to be sure you are at the right place.
Settings -> Storage
When you click it, you may see it appear for a second, but then it closes and then you get the Force Close error. And no matter how many times you reflash or reboot, it's still there.
Now, you need to connect your external SD Card to your computer. You can do this by:
Inserting the card into a slot in your computer, if there is one
Inserting the card into a card reader connected to your computer
Plugging your phone into your computer and being able to browse it through two drives. You can browse the internal memory, or your external card. However, it is recommened you use one of the above methods
OK, so now, I'm assuming that you can browse your card's memory, right? Even if you can't because it's giving you formatting errors, don't worry. Because the fix will fix that too!
OK, so, now we have to format your card. A badly formatted or corrupted card is actually causing the FC.
So, if you're on Windows, you can use the command line to do it, or just the regular, easy way. Which we're going to do.
Windows
Go to My Computer
Open your SD card and make sure all files are backed up, if any
Right click your SD Card
Don't be an idiot. Double check that it's your SD Card
Click the Format option in the drop down list
Of course, format it. You'll need to select the options, however most of it is done. However, make sure in the drop down list that FAT32 is selected. It works best. You COULD try Ext4 afterwards if you still have the FC error, if you have that option.
De-select the "Quick Format" option in the window. Yeah, yeah. I know it's quick, but just do it.
When it's done, just to be sure, safely remove the drive. The quickest and easiest way to do this is right clicking the SD Card again, and selecting "Eject"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ubuntu (or similar Linux distribution)
Go to the file browser. You can select the Home option in the sidebar to do this quickly
Go on the SD Card, you can do this through the sidebar which lists the folders and such
Back up all your files if any
Open the Dash Home (you can press the Windows key to do this if you have it)
Search for "Disk Utility" and open it. If you don't have it, then, make sure you have the latest version of Ubuntu
In Disk Utility, navigate to the SD Card through the sidebar. It might have in small text "MMC/SD" in it's option
At the BOTTOM, select Format Volume. BOTTOM. Remember, at the BOTTOM. You want to format the volume. I'm not sure about the top format option.
OK, as always, fill the options in the windows. You might want to rename the card and stuff too. It's best to have the Ext4 or FAT32 option selected in the drop down list.
Format it!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, pop the thing in ye phone.
Bro tip:
In Ubuntu, if you're getting the "Drive is busy" error when trying to format it, then, your best bet is to reboot your machine. If it doesn't work still, then reboot again, but perhaps with the card reader or SD Card out this time. Try a variation. If you still have no luck, Google is your best friend. I had this issue, and couldn't get it to work (however I was too lazy to reboot multiple times so whatever). I used Windows in the end, worked a charm. However because I wanted to do it nicely, I used command line to do it, as it's a really good pro tool.
So, hopefully you're not getting FCs now. If you still are, or need help with the instructions, just reply to the post. I'd prefer that you post in this thread than PM me as I get a lot of PMs and a lot to reply too.
