[Q] MicroSDHC, video rec., ext. hard drive, Sniffer?

Hi. I have some questions and I will be very happy if I learn the answers
Please help me to find out
1. Does Adam support 32GB MicroSDHC card?
2. What is the resolution and fps of video recording of Adam?
3. Can we plug 1TB hard drive to it?
4. Can we disable the ambient light sensor if we want?
5. Sniffer shows 1 USB drive even a USB drive doesn’t plugged. However, we have 2 USB port. What if we plug 2 USB flash drive at a time, will it work? Will Sniffer shows both of them?
6. Can leaves work in the portrait mode?

Can anybody at least give me an answer for this question :
Does Adam support 32GB MicroSDHC card?
I want to buy "Lexar High Speed MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10" but I'm not sure will it work with Adam or not.
Thanks

Don't really have any clear information but in this post on blog Rohan speaks about methode to drain power (Record HD Video and stream it over the Wi-fi networks) For me HD Video means 1080p

Don't really have any clue ... Rohan speaks about access on sniffer with usb pen up to 128 Gb ... But be careful that Android don't seem to have access to NTFS File System, android can access FAT32 File system or Linux Standard FS (Ext 2 to 4).

I think that you sniffer groups disk by type. Android is an LINUX Distribution.
Then you should have USB 1 / USB 2 / USB 3 (there's 3 ports 2 USB Standard and 1 Mini Usb)

Don't have any clue on it, but if there's no clue it's maybe that leaves only work in Landscape mode as Sense for HTC doesn't work on landscape mode.

I dont think it supports 1tb external hdd as of yet they said its because android has a limit on its fat 32 size i think its about 120 gig or something. But said in an interview that they were looking to extend this.

I think I can reply that too Also I hope I can reply that before February Let's say shipping is 5 days, then we can have it in 20th to 27th of January
Anyways, thank you so much Gkar3 and lilmiks.
Gkar3, I didn't see that there is a quote about "HD video", and I'm very happy to learn that,b thanks.
For 1TB hard drive, thats very bad I use FAT32 for my macbook, and it is 320GB. I really didn't understand why it doesn't support that, shouldn't be because of FAT32.
Also for microSD, I think you are right Gkar3, I will buy Lexar 32GB now. It would be very ridiculus, if Adam doesn't support 32GB micro SD.

The Mini USB is a HOST port. Meaning that you plug in a standard size USB side of a cable to your computer and the mini side into your Adam... this will allow you to mount the internal storage from your Adam as a R/W drive on your computer. (it essentially makes your Adam's internal memory act like a 'usb thumb drive')

You can run FAT32 on 1TB drives, but I have not heard of an Android limit on FAT32 before. Windows XP does not support formatting of external drives to FAT32 unless they are smaller than 32GB. This is a superficial limit imposed by Microsoft and there are a number of tools that will allow you to format large external drives to FAT32.
Another thing to note is that just because the base Android system did not support NTFS out of the box doesn't mean some of the XDA devs won't be able to able to add NTFS support into a custom kernel. We'll have to wait until some of the XDA devs get their hands on the NotionInk Adam before we can see what features we can add.
Also, FAT32 has a filesize limit of 4GB... so if you are trying to keep some large, HD movies on the external HDD for playback on your Adam you may want to consider another filesystem (other than FAT32).
--edit--
I'll try to plug a large FAT32 drive into my ViewSonic G-Tablet tonight and see how it works. It's running the nVidia Tegra2 chip so it should at least be similar.

i m new as you can see but i m so happy cause i found you

For me it's Linux Kernel that rules Android then if you use FAT32 then you can create file system from 2 to 8 Tb

Wow, thanks for the informations. That 4GB limit is the thing that I'm always suffering about.
You are right, we should wait for XDA devs. to get their hands on the Notion Ink Adam. Hope this device will be popular in XDA-devs.
I will hopefully wait for your updates about FAT32 driver.

[Q] Setting up OTG

Hello there, I'm currently looking for a usb OTG cable, will get to test one later this evening.
I have a question: What do i need to do to set up the storage on the tablet side? Do i need to get an app that configures the new storage or is it just plug & play. I'm asking because I will try to test the cable to see if it works. Can I just use Solid Explorer to access the external storage after i plug in the usb cable with the attatched card reader and 16gb microsd hc class 6 card?
My nexus7 3g is rooted, currently on Jr4 Rom.
Oh and another thing.. is the nexus7 limited in terms of microsd size and speed class ?
Thx allot.

Get StickMount from the market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount&feature=search_result
Plug and Play
Use a file manager to find it

Stickmount is the way to go, but you must be rooted. The Nexus Media Importer app lets you access external storage as read-only. You have to pay, but don't need to be rooted. I'm using a 32Gb microsd class 10 and it works great as read/write and streaming with Stickmount.

64GB Sandisk microsdxc the N7 will read if microsd card formatted in NTFS using stickmount. Mine works fine.

I think I will manage to use it without stickmount.
I'm running a kernel that sais it will automount hotplug usb support. Does this mean that it will automount it just like stickmount pro does?
didn't actually get to test that OTG cable yet, maybe tonight.
Also, what do you think of the Rescan Media app? it's supposed to start the Media Scanner service on android and inform mx player and winamp about the .avi and .mp3 files on your sdcard or flashdrive.

I tryed and still can't get it to work?
I guess I have to change ROM to get it... Do you now is it possible on CM10?

Yeah stickmount pro is the way to go, my 500GB portable Samsung HDD works fine but wouldn't on my Galaxy S3 until I flash Siyah kernel again, I use Trinity kernel on my Nexus 7 and no problems
OTG cable - External HDD or whatever you use - stickmount pro and away you go.

I'm using "nexus media importer" on my unrooted device. It isn't a free app but if you just want to try it before buying, you can try the dev's free app "gallery connect preview". Make sure your usb memory stick has pictures on it . Open the app before connecting the usb stick. I had to try a few times till the app recognized my cardreader and sd cards. Without root i can't change files on the external memory, but at least i can watch movies and open files from it.
I don't know if the sd cards are in FAT or NFTS. I just take it out of my dslr camera and plug it in the cardreader connected to my OTG cable.

Not trying to be a smart ass but in three words "Google Cloud Storage". They want to push you to one of their paid services.
I use USB OTG Helper to resolve all my external storage access issues both with rooted Stock and various custom ROMs. I get full RW access on SD cards formatted as ext2,3,4 and external HDD formatted with NTFS. Of course FAT16/32 access still work. This product is so good I bought the donate version just to show respect to the developer.

One last thought, is this a self powered HDD? If it is not maybe the N10 is not supplying enough power for the HDD to function. I read some people had OTG attached HDD drives that only worked if the N10 had a charge above some percentage and failed when it dropped below that percentage.
My only HDD test was with a self powered device.

[Q] Hard Drives & MicroSD

1. What format does the drive need to be to be read by the MOJO?
At the time of this writing: Hard drives need to be NTSC. They are mounted as READ ONLY, so you will not be able to save files. Bummer.
2. Same question, except for a 64GB MicroSDXC format...?
At the time of this writing: microSD must be formatted as FAT32 with 32K cluster size. They need to be set as a PRIMARY drive rather than LOGICAL.

1. NTFS or FAT32 usb 2.0 HDs work. I've tried USB 3.0 HDs and so far those haven't worked
2. I havn't tested a 64gig micro sd but most Android devices only recognize up to 32GB sd cards.

I've got a 64GB in my A700 and it works fine as FAT32. The CM ROMS have issue with it, however. Also, according to the MadCatz website: "For those of you who need more, there’s a microSD flash slot to accommodate SDXC cards up to 128GB!"
What format is your MicroSD?

I'm using a 64gb micro sd, format FAT. Works great.

Try exFat. It's the "standard" format for SDXC type cards and unlike Fat32 you're not limited to files less than 4 gigs in size. It's the format i use on my Galaxy Note 10.1 (last year's model). It should come in exFat anyway.
Or the simplest solution would be to rip open the packaging, stick it in the MOJO and if it tells you it needs to be formatted format it. That way it's in whatever format the MOJO prefers and your pc/laptop in all likelihood will recognise the format.
Also I'm guessing you're just going to leave it in there most of the time. To avoid card readers and sync cables I normally use FTPServer on my phone and tablet and the filezilla client on the pc, and to transfer stuff to the network drive I use the android ftp client andftp (there are file explorers like ES Explorer which can handle samba connections and FTP connections but I find they're a bit slower).
Avoid NTFS on flash media. From what I've been told it uses too many read/writes which isbad for flash media due to their limited write cycles.

Yeah, I didn't even think about formatting until after I had loaded my card down with movies and music and games....exFat = Nope.
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48943761&postcount=5
FAT32.
Time to backup and reformat.

No ExFat support? Wow. Mad Catz put NO effort into the software of this device, did they. Just using the stock OS without bothering to add in bluetooth 4.0 support and just throwing in a dongle to compensate (various phone providers, i.e. HTC have a history of providing a better than stock bluetooth stack), no camera support, no exFat support (this just makes them cheapskates since they just needed to license it crom Microsoft like the phone makers that provide it on their phones and tablets).
I still have time to decide. I was planning on buying it on amazon, sending it to a friend and then having them bring it when they visited in order to avoid the overpriced shipping and import fees but I'm starting to think I'd be better off with a cheap quadcore A15 device with an SoC like the A80 from allwinner and a Moga controller. It would be cheaper, have better play store support and be more versatile from what I'm reading on here...
Considering how little effort they've put into the software I wouldn't be surprised if they never got around to the KitKat upgrade. Companies who put more effort into the OS often fail whdn it comes to promised upgrades. And if Mad Catz never upgrades the OS it means users are limited to just ONE USB port which seriously cuts dow on usability.

Wait, are you saying you can only use one usb port at a time because of the OS version?

yes beacause if there's no update to kitkat the BT smart dongle is in one already and will have to stay there.
I think it will come out, they have said it would a few times now. so just a matter of when.
yip I tested mine, no exFat support... a bit of a shame

Buy an USB Hub.
You can use hdd with ntfs should be much better then exfat.

At this time- the controller requires a dongle which takes up one of the usb slots.
You are left with the micro SD slot and the usb 3.0 slot.
When the Kitkat update arrives, you will be able to remove the dongle and have the usb 2.0 slot available.
The usb's will probably be obsolete soon anyway- seeing as PC streaming is coming in the kitkat update.
The point of mojo is to do everything via bluetooth and wifi.
That's the beauty of the machine.

First of all, the point is that you're not getting the functionality promised. You are told that it's a micro-console with TWO usb ports and you can either give up the controller, or give up a usb port. Secondly a usb hub can be an okay solution but you then have to worry about getting a normal one or a powered one and how much it will affect throughput splitting it up depending on what devices you have attached. And as is others here have reported problems in using both USB drives simultaneously (and that some drives work better in one than the other).
Yes, streaming is good, you can actually use it right now if you´re just talking about transferring files, but if you're told you'll get two USB ports you should GET two functional and available usb ports.
KitKat upgrade. They've mentioned it, but don't think there's actually an official announcement. Plus they could have had that functionality there since the beginning. Smartphone and tablet makers add/take away functionality from Android and its Kernel. Heck, people HERE do it all the time. So why can't Mad Catz. And how long exactly do people have to wait for the upgrade? As the saying goes, buy a device for what it can do today, not what it can do tomorrow. Manufacturers often don't come through on promised upgrades.
Also to say that you/they support SDXC without a disclaimer saying that you can't use exFat is fraudulent as exFat is STANDARD on SDXC. If they made all this clear from the beginning it wouldn't be so bad but they don't and as such mislead their (potential) clients. Who cares about friendly and speedy support if they can't actually solve the issues present?

I would use the USB to hold a thumb drive full of data like the ISOs I've ripped from my GameCube and PSX for emulation. (Trying to get my wife to give up the Wii to our son when the Android port of Dolphin reaches maturity).

Formatted my card as FAT32, loaded it down, NO LUCK.
Tried the card in two computers and it shows up as FAT32 with all files intact. I'm on my A700 right now, popped it in, and it is working just fine.
There really needs to be a reboot option on the MOJO...Yes, I rebooted..no luck. Causes FC from settings when I try to see my storage.
Thoughts?

Nothing.
When it was formatted as exFAT, I could at least get to the storage options...just wouldn't mount.

I'm trying an extHD to connect.
First try 1 partition 1TB NTFS - recognized and mounted without problems on USB 3.0 port. (but NTFS don't work on my LG G2)
2nd try 4 partitions 1,2,3,4, extFat 256GB recognized, but can't mount. (but works fine on LG G2)
3rd try 4 partitions 1 NTFS, 2,3 extFat and 4 NTFS - don't work
4rd try 1 partition 1TB extFat - can't mount.
So, I let this thing NTFS formatted now. :silly:
If the M.O.J.O could be rooted, we could use tools to mount ALL formats and ALL partitions.
Solution for my rooted LG G2 was simple. " Paragon NTFS & HFS+ " is a free tool in Play Store.
NTFS is r/w now on my smartphone and r/o on the Mojo.

How to run Fire TV apps from an External USB Drive

After trying a whole bunch of methods, here is the best way I've found to free up internal storage by moving apps to an external drive.
Complete step-by-step Guide with screenshots
tl;dr version:
1. Mount the drive with StickMount
2. Move the files and "trick" the Fire TV with FolderMount

does this work with XBMC?
those thumbnails are filling up the internal memory really fast

Yes, you can move XBMC's data with this method. But since XBMC is so customizable, modifying advancedsettings.xml like JJ-KwiK suggests is a better option.

xbmc run well from external drive

Hi Guys
Just need some input w.r.t. flash drives and external drives.
What is the biggest size flash drive or external drive we can use on the AFTV?
Fat32 or NTFS file system?
Do you need a powered multi usb device to make the external drive work?
Must you use a powered external drive to make it work in the fire tv?
Hope someone can clear it up.
I connected a non powered multi usb device on the fire tv. the Rii keyboard with bluetooth usb and my 4gb flash both worked on it, but my 1.5TB 2.5" does not want to pick it up.

I'm using a 32GB USB Flash Drive and it works. It's NTFS. Spinning disk must be powered externally for both 2.5" or 3.5".
External SSD might work unpowered....I don't have a drive to test this theory.

I have two Toshiba 5400 RPM Canvio that are unpowered 2.5 and work fine, and a Seagate 500MB 2.5 in a cheapie external USB case that works fine as well.

Yeah I don't understand I've just found my Verbatim USB 3 external 2.5" works but my transcend external 2.5" doesn't. Both are the same size and both are NTFS. I checked and they both work on my PC. Guess it's luck of the draw for 2.5". I can't get an external 3.5" to work...Anyone else?

3.5 inch should be 12V so they would need an external power supply. As far as not seeing a powered 3.5 it could be one of a hundred different issues.

My 2TB 3.5" external works with a 12v power.

External Harddrive 3TB, 3.5" formatted as NTFS works fine for me.
Different sorts of USB stick's up to 32MB formatted as fat32 or NTFS gave me no trouble either.

Images gone after moving Thumbernails to USB stick
Hello,
I 'moved' the Thumbernails folder, using the advancedsettings.xml method. After a new scan run I see all the movie-descriptions, but I do no longer, see any images. They are just not shown..
Any idea, whats going wrong ? I'm really new to XBMC
edit:
After the scan, I deleted the whole content in Andtroid/.../userdata/Thumbernails. The folder itself is still there.
(6GB usb stick/NTFS)
edit2: solution found!
xbmc: System->File Manager->Profile directory->Database delete the Textures13.db and restart the xbmc.
All thumbnails are displayed again!

I tried this method with NFSMW which is approx 4gb after updating and it copied everything over the my usb BUT when i mount it the game says my usb storage device has no room for an update -_- (even though the directory copied is the most up to date version and capacity is 16gb) also, this method does nothing to free up space on the FTV. I had to go in manually to my android/data folder and remove the directory to free up space myself. Might want to add that to the description.

You are mistaken or did something wrong. FolderMount moves the files AND deletes the originals. If the files are set as "mounted" in FolderMount, it will appear as if they are still on the Fire TV. Meaning, if you "ls" the original directory in /sdcard/, you will see all the original files. However, the files are not actually on the Fire TV. To verify this for yourself, go to Settings > About to see your available free space before and after following my directions. You will see your free space increase.

this url states that USB harddrive is not possible.
then how are you guys making it possible ?
must the fire tv be rooted ? before this feature is possible.
i think this is an important topic. as the device is now rooted, alot users would download apps, and they would need the space.
I would like to use USB harddrive with my XBMC.
please advice.
Thanks a lot.

That link was before we had root.
With root and StickMount both USB drives and Thumbdrives work great
