[Q] Boot android from car sd card or usb - General Questions and Answers

Hey everyone,
I'm new here and really have never been a forum member before. Love everything that XDA offers so I thought I would ask all you smart people a question.
I am wondering if it is possible to make a bootable sd card or usb that will boot onto my manufacturers head unit. I love android so much I would love to just put the sd card or usb dongle into my HU and have Android pop up.
Thank you for anybodies response!!!

CARD READER ??

HI
i am using an O2 mini and am about to go for the big storage upgrade !!
for that i also need a card reader and i was anyways going to buy one ..
so
WHICH CARD READER should i go for :
1) usb type
or
2)PCMCIA slot type
i am using a dell inspiron 9300 laptop
PLEASE ADVISE
THANKS
I'd go with USB... almost all machines have USB these days, whereas only laptops have PCMCIA... If you get USB it'll be (potentially) more useful to you...
well ....
CANT DISAGREE WITH THE pope .... can i ??

desire as SD card reader

OK so what i would like to do is turn my phone into a card reader.
Think about it, your on holiday or just out and about taking photos with your camera (not your phone), id like to be able to transfer images from the camera's SD to the phone.
The hardware seems simple - all you would need is
a female usb to male micro usb adaptor, and
a usb sd card reader.
My question is can the desire be use in such a way? And if so is there an app?
Thanks
Rick
You need a usb host kernel and an external power source. For the time being, there in not a ready user friendly solution.

It would be nice with some kind of standard protocol for driving USB-devices soon.

It is said that it will arrive with ice cream sandwich, but it most probably wont support desire

SD Question

Hi -
I have a Samsung Focus and with 32G microSD card. I haven't needed the extra storage that I thought and would like to give my wife the SD for her Android phone.
Is there a way to do that considering the SD card was used and formatted for the Focus?
Thanks.
Sorry to asking again, but does anyone have a recommendation? Maybe we are just SOL.
Thanks again.
I think there are some phones that can format the cards (some Nokias). There should be some info on this over in the Samsung Focus forum

Tracphone ZTE Atrium - need help

So my buddy bought his son his first phone. It's through Tracphone. ZTE Atrium. it's running Android 6.1 the thought was to buy a cheep phone to see if he takes care of it. Bad mistake. This phone is worthless.
The phone has no internal memory. Son put 3 games on it and it's full. I suggested getting a memory card and moving the apps to the card. Well after formatting the card, the phone won't move the apps to the card. I read online that android can format card as internal storage. nope. Someone said to format card in older android phone. Mine is version 5. That didn't help either. People said that android 6.1 changed how cards are used. I don't know as I have a galaxy s5 rooted with Android 5.
What can we do other than buy a better phone?

J7 Sky Pro sd problems

Hey guys, bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro through Straight Talk (sm-s727vl) a while back. Now I'm running low on space as I'm playing some large games on it and still need space for music and such (16GB internal). So today I purchased a Samsung EVO 128GB microSDXC card, however, I can't seem to get my phone to do anything I want it to with the card. I can't find any settings to tell it I want apps to install to the SD card from now on if they can be, can't tell it I want photos and video to go there, can't tell it anything really. Finally managed to find out I can move like one app over to it manually after a lot of digging however it wouldn't let me move anything that made sense like my Steam phone app (which my brother can move his Steam app to SD on his Note 8).
I'm starting to get disparaged and wonder why I even bought this SD card if I can't put anything on it. There's not even an option to make the SD card be used as internal storage.
Using Android 6.0.1 which is what came with it. I really wish I could flash lollipop on to it or something. Any help is appreciated.
