Root Messed up music playback

yea i know the feeling, thats why i ended up making the cwm. i didnt have any clue what the hell i was doing but i knew if somebody didnt do it soon and get some new roms out i was gonna lose it. zte software is the worst ive seen in my life, and my little brother has a no name tablet he got on sale at the cvs

the join the forums, talk about helping make their products better, and then all they really end up doing is spying on us developers and figuring out how to stop us from installing recoveries and roms on their phones. if they spent as much time fixing bugs as they probably did trying to flip flop the partitions they would have the best phones out

Ikr, Huawei makes better stock software then ZTE and that is down right sad. But as far as flip flopping partitions at least they didn't physically invert the screen again.

lol true, but at least thats an easy thing to figure out. like oh my screens upside down... obviously i need to flip it. we went through two distrobutions of cwm before i went in and did some manual force mounting into a test folder and figured out that although while running the rom 17 is cache, 18 is data, and 19 is carrier, outside their screwy ass software 16 is carrier, 17 is filler, 18 is cache, and 19 is data

lol yep. keep in mind tho, using the stock rom even mounting manually partition 18 is data and so on. once that rom loads the partitions are mixed up and there is no way i know of to put them back in order, i dont know how that effects manually pushing things to the files though i havent screwed with that and i dont plan to to be quite honest, right now im focusing on getting rid of that crap software altogether

and if youd like to take a look for yourself at how things are, open up /proc/partitions as text and youll see the sizes. 19 being 2.7gb (obviously data), that was my first clue. and then there is mount or mounts i cant remember which but its in the same folder, it will tell you what is mounted at the moment but it will lie to you, that is what things mount as when the zte rom is running tho so if you are using that as a base for your rom chances are you will have to use those partitions, like i said tho i dont know how direct writing such as doing a dd command would effect things
