Fake SDCARD

[pancake]

I would like to test camera/gallery/media apps without depending on an
SDCARD, on Android faking the sdcard is as simple as:

mount -t tmpfs none /mnt/sdcard

But this doesn't seems to fool Gonk detection.

How can I tell 'vold' or 'b2g' to not require an SDCARD for that?

Thanks

There is a patch in bug 838038.

If you apply that patch, and change the 4 in "storage /data/storage 4" to an X, then this will add a new storage area. You'll need to manually create the /data/storage directory.

Unfortunately is not accessible, probably for security reasons or

Sorry, The patch is fairly simple, so I'll just put it here:

}

For v1.1, it goes in the OnFileCanReadWithoutBlocking function, and line 288 is around line 315 instead. The surrounding block of code should be very similar.
