BUGS:
Internal sdcard is mounted to /data/media, while on device /storage/emulated so use external SDcard.
Also because of wrong mounts when you do wipe it will delete everything on internal SDcard (only /data/media will stay)
TOUCH dont work when booted: just wait till screen off timeout (10s), then press power to turn screen on it will work now
