Hi,
I'm talking about the USB-SDCard-Access-Mode of Android.
Is it possible to use a virtual SDCard instead of the real one for this?
I want to do this, because I have an device which only accepts USB-Sticks up to 1GB.
If I could use a virtual 1GB-SDcard instead of my real one the device would think that there is an 1GB-USBDrive and it should work
The Android-Emulator can do that, but is it possible with a real device?
I hope, you can help me...
Just to acrhive: It#s possible and already realized in the current version of bootmenu. You can give the pc access to sdcard or system-partitions(and any other device/image).

o2 flame can detect hard disks or flash drives using usb otg cable.
in file explorer a folder named "hard disk 1" will appear when a flash drive is detected and another folder named "hard disk 2" will appear when another flash drive is detected an so on.
my questions are:
is it possible to make an application that will sync the files stored on one flash drive to another?
is there an existing application that has similar functions? where can i get it?
thanks for reading. hope you can help me. i really need one right now. it's for school.
I'm not completely sure about this, but i think microsoft came out with MobileGroove Beta not long ago.. maybe you can find it.
hey thanks for the reply
but i can't seem to find any info about mobilegroove on the net
I don't know in Windows. In Linux you could use Unison (it's a frontend for rsync).
Works great for me.
I have a Fujitsu P1120 touchscreen netbook. I have been trying to dual boot android with the windows xp that is on there but have had no success. I cannot seem to figure out the right way to put android on the hard drive. It keeps coming up with a grub error for invalid filesystem. I have downloaded liveandroid, android 86x. The main problem that I have is that my device doesn't support booting from usb, booting from network, or any usb external drive. So the only way I can get it to work is to manually install android but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone help me with this please?

To put it bluntly you're trying to get your netbooks to do something it isn't intended to do. Those thing are built with the absolute bare minimum to do pretty much nothing more than browse the web, hence "netbook". It's not a full PC. Even the newer ones don't run a full version of Windows 7. Short of knowing how to re-write a BIOS image or finding a modified one and flashing it, which has the risk of perma-bricking your computer.
Волк,
Sorry my bad english..I have a good computer, phone and tablet. However I like to modify my old electronics giving new life to them .... Now for example I'll replace the HDD Fujitsu Lifebook P1120 IDE for SSD and I'll put a PCMCIA card with internal memory to speed up Windows. I installed windows 7 and it is working. So I had to make a modification in winsetup.dll to install.
At the moment I install Android but I am having difficulties.
I didnt see an obvious section for xdandroid questions, so i hope its okay to post a couple here; forgive me and redirect me if not, please...
1. I'm running xdandroid frx07 on my htc touch pro off the sdcard. Is it possible to swap sdcards while running the xdandroid system? im guessing no.
2. If I cant hot swap the sd card, then (this may be silly to some but I'm tired) are there any android specific files that can NOT be read by Windows Mobile 6.1?
3. Is it possible to install xdandroid to the device itself so as to free up the sd card for normal data storage and transport between devices? For instance, I would like to install it to "\(lowest possible dir)\xdandroid\" instead of "\sdcard\" ("I know I probably won't be able to completely over-write the WM6x OS, so Windows will have its own folder tree branch and xdandroid will have its own as well. I already have Haret in the WM startup list so I never see WM except for when I boot without the sd card inserted (Haret just errors out because it cant find the files to boot linux).
4. I also would like to know if anyone knows where I can find and turn OFF everything that actually uses or relies on the Sprint/CDMA cellular network (I dont have a carrier, I use it strictly on wi-fi as a miniature internet terminal/remote control for PC & PS3). I would love it if someone could direct me toward a generic/non-carrier branded ROM to flash, that would do the trick!
5. Just kidding; I won't write another question yet, I think these are good enough for now. Thanks in advance for any and all serious responses
Hey there,
The touch pro is in the legacy device forums, here is the rom link fyi : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171070.
You would be better off asking for help in that thread
Ok ,once you have decided to install Android operating system(AOS) on your pc u'll need to..... oh wait! u must be wondering why did i create this thread since an android emulator already exists. This is why
1) This is not an emulator but a full fledged OS that can be installed along windows/linux
2) it's optimized for x86(32 bit Intel and AMD) processors so is a lot less laggy than the emu
3) it supports wifi, camera and u can install apps which you can't do on the emulator
Caution-
This build is primarily for laptops/netbooks and may not fully work on your desktop( there's no harm in trying though)
Depending on your version and Hardware, not everything may work properly
I'm not responsible for anything you do! (though i seriously doubt that it can do any harm but always exercise caution)
Once you are satisfied, lets begin
Requirements-
A USB pendrive with at least 256 mb free scpace
Internet connection
Common Sense
Downloading the tools-
1)First go to this site- http://www.android-x86.org/download and download the required image(choose which version and the model of ur laptop)
2) Visit this link - http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and download Unetbootin for your OS(the one you are currently running)
Setting up the bootable image
1) Plug in your pendrive and run Unetbootin.
2) Select the "diskimage" radio button and load the ISO file
3) Set type to "USB Drive" and select ur pendrive from the drop down menu
4) Click OK and your pendrive is ready to be booted from
Booting up AOS
1) turn off your computer and plug in your pendrive
2) you need to change the boot sequence in the PC's BIOS. to do this keep pressing 'Delete" button or F12(depending on your motherboard, generally a line of text indicates the button to be pressed) on the boot/Splash screen and select external/usb as your first boot device
3) Once done, the AOS installation menu should come up, select the first option to try it without installing anything to your Hard disk.
4)If you want to install it to your Hard disk you might havta repartition ur HD to avoid windows being overwritten(i recommend not doing so but if you want to proceed, use the free software EASUS Partition Manager)
5) Bingo!! You should be running AOS on your PC now
Thank You
Thanks for starting this wonderful thread. I installed android on my netbook beside windows xp and it works great. it lets me choose which operating system i want to work with. i downloaded android-x86-4.2-20130228.iso from that website cuz i didn't know to use which one. i also created an ntfs partition for installing android. it perefectly recognizes my wireless and camera now. nothing is better than this. i'm happy with my netbook now.
thanks man....its working and its awesome!!!

Sd Card Dual boot?
As you can see, Im new here... Does this require a partition to install, or can you boot straight form usb? My other question is can you do this the same from an sd card? Thanks in advance... Sorry if its a dumb question.

i have created partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro Edition but after that my pc was lost boot. it set the c drive inactive. i used windows cd to start again. unetbootin-windows-608 didn't work for me. i used Win32DiskImager-0.9.5 which has option to choose operating system android. after that it worked but i have got one more problem. i have installed the android into newly created partition and installation was completed successfully but again i lost boot. again i used windows cd to solve boot issue to make c drive active. after that i have directly run the android without installing. it worked and run very smoothly but it was not showing my hard disk even giving root access to file manager. so finally i have decided to go virtual box. now downloading virtual box but i want to boot android from menu because i have windows,linux in boot menu now i want android also.
FYI i was using desktop and i have photon plus wireless modem. which is detecting on ppp widget but not connecting because of operating system. it was android 4.4.2 cynogenmod(rooted) and cynogenmod wont detect the internal sd and ppp widget can establish a connection without having it files in internal storage. so my advice is choose your android carefully and you can even establish internet connection from your mobile using ppp widget. there is an way to make your internal sd get detected by using terminal emulator.
my pc details 1.6ghz amd processor,1gb ram having windows xp and puppy linux
virutual box didn't helped me. it was showing error. again i tried to boot android x86 using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.5 and format the partition into fat 32 and installed grub for windows. this time worked booted into android
to install whatsapp use older version of whatsapp open it and it will ask u for downloading new version then download new version replace the app and your whatsapp will work. we chat and line are not working.
for games search for games for android x86

The answer is no, you can't put it in a Windows machine or ANY computer or other device and access it... Not now or ever, without root access (or at minimum TWRP's file manager which requires an unlocked bootloader) to your device so you can get the decryption token. Even if you get the decryption token, Windows doesn't have the ability to do it, you need Linux and some decent terminal (command line) skills to do it. The process is detailed here: https://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html
Your best bet is to try to get it to be recognized in the phone (your post implies it works sometimes) and then copy the files via USB or push them to Drive or a similar online storage. The only other option is to use Linux to dd the card to a larger on and try the larger one, it has worked for some people in the past. https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/retrieve-data-unreadable-adopted-t3617250

Thank you for the detailed answer.
I somewhere read that you can access it via a Linux file manager for Windows (DiskInternals Linux Reader). I will try it.

You can try, but it won't work without the decryption key... The whole point of encryption is so nothing can access it, and it works quite well, but in situations like this it's a problem that we just can't overcome. Sorry.
