[Q] USB Watcher troubles - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I hated to post this here, but apparently I'm too newbish by xda standards to post in the related xoom dev thread.
I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068999
Using Clockwork I flashed the attached kernel (Tiamat 1.6ghz w/ UMS) and installed USB Watcher from the app store. I get a notice that the usb cable is attached, but when I select "Turn on USB Storage", the notification icon spins for a minute then stops. No sign of storage on my pc.
I had missed the attached kernel the first time I installed 'Watcher', so I am not sure if that may be the cause.
Any thoughts?

You don't need app watcher to access your SD. When using Tiamat kernel on HC3.1 your data will be at sdcard/external. Did you flash the new boot image before the kernel? Also, XDA may be right about you being too newbish to post in the dev section since you apparently did not read the sticky about NOT posting questions in the dev section.

I did see that it mounts to /external after a little more exploring. I just wanted to mount the sd card to my pc to upload larger files. But with an sd card reader that is not a major task. I have not switched boot images, only kernels.
I didn't see to not post questions to the dev forum, so that is my bad. I'll be sure and read that sticky. This xoom is the first android device I've had I could really delv deeply into. My Fascinate is a bit more complicated, thank you Samsung. =p

[Q] Any way to enable the SD Card Slot on a Rooted Xoom 3G?

Any one have a hack or something to make this stupid reader work? It looks silly with the Clear one in there.
Wrong section and no the sd card has not been enabled search before posting
My bad and damn... hopefully soon.
yea not having the sd card and source code is really slowing down xoom development
Yeah I bet it does... I tried searching before I posted and didn't see another thread about this.

Source code is not out but there is an kernal OC already how is this?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I'm going to guess it's because the kernel is hardware specific and applicable to the bios. (?)
from a quick skim of kernel, has anyone enabled the sdhc on platform driver

Kernel source was released already, just not the os source.

That's my thought too. Regardless of whether honeycomb handles an sdcard, the kernel ought to be able to see the card. I'm assuming the driver currently isn't compiled in, since the kernel completely ignores the slot.
I haven't had time to build my own kernel yet, but that's one of the first things I want to try.

I checked out the kernel configuration and, from my recollection, it does build with support for SDHC out of the box. This leads me to believe that our firmware doesn't currently report the sd card hardware to the OS for it to even see.
You can confirm this by seeing that the internal storage is actually mounted using SDHC modules, although I don't remember exactly where to look.

Flash alternate kernels and system apps?

Hi, dont know if this has been asked before, but it's there a way to somehow install another kernel (maybe overclocked) instead of the current kernel? And I like the HTC camera present in Sense ROMs instead of the camera in MIUI (my current ROM) or in Cyanogen ROMs. Can I install the HTC camera over my current one?

First of this should be in the Q & A section and the search function isn't broken but here is a kernel

Just flash it in recovery like a ROM. Be sure to wipe cache and salvia prior to flashing.

Yes just look for compatible kernel for your rom and flash, backup first.
Oh and get ready to get flammed! Wrong section!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
All these questions being asked in the developement section is getting old.

The search button is yours and everyones friend. I can say never once did I started a new thread asking a question that's already been asked. Actually the only thread I've ever started was one thanking the devs and the people making guides on how to do anything with this phone. This is my 1st android and I've flashed a few ROMs and kernels in the few months Ive had it cause of the info I found here. And I've never had any problems. All the info you'll ever need(and some you dont) is on XDA. And if after a relentless search for your question leads to nothing, then by all means ask away. Not tryin to hate, just stating facts
Thanks creglenn. I can never seem to find the right section to post in. il look there.

Well, since the thread is already created, can anyone tell me if it's possible to for example to install the music player from MIUI into my Eaglesblood ROM?

Wow! I cant believe I asked this question. Lol. Sorry for the bump, and there is a new question here. Aaaand on second look, that was me... lol. Geez.

Wrong section put this in the Q&A section and the rainbow you are seeing is due to the fact that you probably don't have GB boot loaders

Better to never start threads in Dev section unless you are a developer. Follow second link in my signature and flash with bootloaders. Read all - notes included for your benefit.

Moving to Q&A
Tried to send a PM but no luck. Your post , which I appreciated, referred to a link in your signature for a bootloader, which unfortunately was not attached. I have been unable to find a bootloader and need to locate one and learn to install it. Any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link. For clarification, will this mean starting over with Heimdal, or do I install Heimdal One Click and pick up with installing only the bootloaders? I hope this doesnt sound hopelessly noobish, but the OP for Valhalla a final said nothing about bootloaders. My last phone was a Vibrant, and the ROMs I flashed were complete.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
If you have a new phone you started on Froyo. You flashed a GB ROM. You need GB bootloaders. You need to start from the beginning to be able to flqwh bootloaders. You flash one, then on second flash you will be aboe to check the flash bootloader box.
After first flash, when linda is finished talking to you - you will boot into the rainbow screen. Pull battery, go into download mode and proceed to second flash.
So if I al ready have flashed Valhalla, I am going back to the beginning?

You follow the guide then reflash Valhalla in CWM.
Smiles....thank you!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
You are welcome. Just remember - never start threads in the dev section. Stay on Gingerbread ROM's (Valhalla Final, Valhalla Black, etc) since you will have Gingerbread Bootloaders when you are finished with the guide. There are Froyo ROM's (Black Ice, etc) in the dev section. Know before flashing. And hit thanks.

Problem connecting Milestone2 as a storage device

Okey, I have installed Tetz JB CM10 and now I can't connect my cellphone as a storage device... I would very much like to post on the PROPPER thread where someone might actually be able to help, but I can't as I "don't have anough posts to do that"... So I'm posting here....
PS: The "propper" thread: [JB][29-08-2012] CyanogenMod 10 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.1.1)
I would suggest taking out the sd card and using a card reader when you want to transfer files. Much faster read/write speed

[Q] help updating clean ROM with data2sd mod

It seems that I can't find my files that I downloaded on twrp. Is their something I'm missing?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
You cannot download files on TWRP. What is the exact issue you are having? You cannot find the files you placed on the second (EXT4) partition? Or have you placed them on the first (FAT32) partition? Is your internal storage unavailable?
Ask in the d2sd thread in the dev section and read the instructions again and what others have posted - I'm sure it will help get some answers
