Okay. That makes perfect sense Javis!
Yeah, I had originally removed the "noexec" part a couple of days ago and then for some reason added it back in again. That's why it wouldn't simlink anymore. Thanks!
I can get all of the apps to work, just not all of them from the SD Card slot. I'm still looking into this though since it would be a really nice feature.
I easily get spooked trying or learning anything new. I'll give a good read over a few times and see if that's within my comfort level. Thanks for the link.
To make things clear on what Javis just mentioned...
Open Xterm
root
emelfm2
Find /usr/sbin/mmc-mount
edit
remove "noexec,"
save
I've been told this is supposed to be something scary to do but I haven't seen anything come of it.
Cheers!

So, in your previous post, you said some apps work and some apps dont work, I suspect if you keep on trying, they all work some of the time.
You mentioned "fresh flash", you mean to flash your tablet? I have been doing flashing from either mmc1 and mmc2, here, so I always have a good copy of 'last working OS', never have to start from scratch, strongly recommend when playing with new apps. It is really really convenient

So do you have to put it back and take it down on and off or it does NOTHING to other apps upon accessing mmc?

Well, from my understanding, the no "noexec" part is a security measure that prevents crazy hackers from having executable files on a memory card that can cause harm to personal computers (I think).
I have no idea what this really means though and I don't have any type of that junk on my card anyway. So for me, it's not even a concern.

One other quick mention.
Once you remove the "noexec" part, you might need to turn off your tablet and start it back up again. It happened in my case.
Anyway, it's back to working great for me again.
You should check into it, Bun.
Since you can have all of your gvm.stores on the memory card, you can easily afford to trim some of them down so your start up time no longer takes 28 seconds.

Very cool discovery! This opens up a lot of options I would think.
Any way to get Garnet to read GPS data?
here is the link to "garmin for palm"

Hey Push.
Execute that command line and look at /home/usr/.gvm using Emelfm2.
The file will be light blue instead of black.
What that means is when Garnet attempts to read that file, it now gets redirected to wherever you set the new location.
It's callled symlinking (sp?).
BTW, symlinking using the Emelfm2 menus is fast and easy. If you don't know how I can detail it here. Thanks Addison for your info on successfully symlinking the GVM store file.

Sweet dude!
That's awesome to hear you got it working!
It totally takes away the pressure of managing your stores by no longer having to copy them off and on to your internal flash memory.
And yeah, if you know of a trick with emelfm2 post away. I'd love to hear it.
Well I tried the suggestion earlier on how to lock a store so it no longer updates, thereby removing any possible chance of gvm making it all buggery by overwriting it needlessly.
I executed this:
chmod a-w gvm.store
from /media/mmc2/Garnet
It didn't work as gvm still updated the file.
Can someone confirm that this is the command to use?
Thanks!

ls -l gvm.store
It should show that there are no write permissions....

Your last bet is doing
mount -o remout,ro /media/mmc2
but this WILL disable writing for any program and not just GVM. Also, it will probably make GVM crash
(Reboot to undo)
