Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this, but i think my battery life on my N810 has gone down a bit since I moved over to the internal memory card. I haven't done any real tests yet though.

thanks GeraldKO for the advice, i havnt tried the usb edit yet, but i can confirm that the info in the link you posted worked with with my n810 and setting the default boot to external sd slot

Code:
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool -R immc2

hello,
when installing some app i got the message 'not enough memory'.
so i decied to switch to dual boot and install os on sd card.

my question 1: when partitioning sd card into 0,5MB for partition 1 and rest for partition 2, ist partition 1 only used for storing the os image and otherwhise never touch by the system? and all data (installed apps) is going to partition 2?
my question 2: can i configure my system to install apps to external (or internal) memory card, instead into device memory (if application is not asking about)?
thank you

1: 1st partition is FAT. Windows can access it when connecting with the USB cable. 2nd partition is to store the OS and mostly data.

2: where you boot the machine from the following installed apps will go to there (flash, internal, external...) !!! With some apps, data will go where ever the apps choose to put there but most will go under /home/user which is still where the machine was booted from. So only way to put installed apps to internal (external) memory card is to boot the OS from there.

Can anyone confirm which steps I would need to take if i wanted to start again and re-copy over the filesystem to external sd card (using N810) but without loosing my music/photos I have on the cards other partition? Is this possible?

Thanks

By filesystem you mean the whole OS? Why not just back up the "music/photos I have on the cards other partition" to a PC and then copy back?

It seems to me that you ought to be able to: boot from flash, then use fdisk or mkfs from Xterm to format the ext2 partition that the card-based OS is on, and then do Step 9C starting where it says "cd ~/bin". Don't do Step 10. If I'm right, this would replace what you have in the bootable partition on the SD card with the system residing in the Device Memory, yet it would leave your SD card's FAT partition with your files as it was.

At least as a non-Linux-user that's my guess. Maybe someone who knows what they're talking about will double-check my guess and provide the proper syntax.

Okay some one tell me where I messed up.

Everything works right up to ./nupgrade wipe to which I get

Unable to locate mbcache.ko - aborting

Any ideas? Little help please.

Edit
Uh never mind, I just saw where I needed to move mbcache.ko in another thread, copied the file and bam it is working. Thanks for the great script!

Edit
Is it me or is thing thing faster... Pretty darn cool. Thanks!
