If I open the N900 file manager and using PuTTY on my PC I can
copy and past into PuTTY, I am able make my SD card appear with these commands in the N900 file manager
Code:
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-device-present true
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open false
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-cover-open false
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-device-present true
and disappear with these commands
Code:
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-device-present false
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open true
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-cover-open true
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-device-present false

You probably could do it by typing it in the device itself, also, you could make a thingy with QueenBeecon to that runs the commands when you tap on them.

1. Thanks a lot for thorough thinking.
2. Try to type it in X Terminal. Don't make people to install more additional software than necessary.
3. It could be saved into /usr/bin/microsdcard sh script so that instead of typing it over and over you would just execute this script(s).

Basically i was messing around with that key with gconftool. And i changed the value from true to false using :

Code:
 sudo gainroot

This set the value from True to False, you can check it via :

Code:
gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open
I set it to false, but the MMC is still not detected. ALTHOUGH the camera now responds to the shutter being opened and closed.

If you go :

Code:
gconftool-2 -a /system/osso/af
You'll find a list of Keys related to the back cover, camera and mmc. And their status will be displayed too!

IS IT POSSIBLE for anyone whos back cover works to test using the last code and display a status of the keys that are true and false? That would be really helpful, as that way we can enable/disable the right keys to truly fool the phone into thinking the back cover is on!

Thanks
Hi!
I do it but I've this message:
/home/user # gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open true
Why I can't put it to false?

Can you help us please?

Topic died over a month ago, but I've got the same problem and I'm just wondering if someone could trick the device to think that the back cover is closed?

 slide-open = false
 mmc-cover-open = false
 internal-mmc-cover-open = false
