Anyone have a zip of the preinstalled apps from their Tabs.
By Carrier would be great (Im looking for Sprint's)
I went a little crazy when I rooted and wacked a few apps (I did save them but formatted the card without thinking) Factory restore doesn't get um back.
Hmm nobody has the apps at all?

What you're asking for is a fair bit of work. You may need to wait for more than about 5 hours.

you can do it yourself.
download a firmware (e.g. the one you use), extract the factoryfs.rfs and open it with MagicISO (simply go to file, open, select the factoryfs.rfs file and hit open), there you can select the apps from system/app
I have a UK tab which came pre-installed with NOVA HD. Since changing the firmware/updating the tab (following a few of the threads on here) I lost a few of the pre-installed apps. I got most of everything back worth anything (and a lot of the Samsung apps were just links to various websites) but I lost NOVA HD. I'm loathe to pay for it and wanted to know if there is any way to get it back? Was tempted to bluetooth the APK from a demo machine. Any suggestions or is it gonna cost me £3?
Thanks

Or you could just try being more patient and/or backup things beforehand as every set of instructions relating to flashing specify. I know perfectly well what I'm talking about, but I do my own research beforehand rather than relying on others to do it for me.

Great response, ill be doing this as soon as i get home any clue as to whether or not swype is recoverable this way? I deleted in a rush to try the beta my evo uses. I of course have no swype

Not 100% sure.
You will need swype.apk from system/app and libswype.so from system/lib
Try it
Thanks again, didn't need lib but I'm guessing that is because I didn't delete it before. I did have issues installing live wall papers though, I ann going to get the lib files and try again.

All thanks to Brainmaster for whipping this up..
I will post the results I've had to save you a few steps...
I did his test mothod using root explorer and sd Tools and tested each one of his recommended settings..
(I have the stock SDcard that came in my showcase, i'm assuming it's probably the same in the Mesmerize?) It's a Samsung microSDHC class2 16GB..
I'm running the EB11pnp3 with voodoo lagfix enabled. The OP says you need to test these to see which one works for you. But I thought that if we have the same phone/same sdcard then it MAY be the same results...
so here's my Results:
128 3.7 MB/s "WRITE" 14.1 MB/s "READ" **This is what the phone is set to at default
1024 3.2/14.6
2048 5.1/14.4
3072 5.3/15.0
4096 6.7/15.0 <<<this is as far as he has listed and it gives the best results, Doubling the "Write" time and improving the "READ" time by a LITTLE!!!
I haven't tried flashing yet, still reading through the pages, but came across this POST.. Which may be the way we would have to make it stick past rebooting...
Maybe some of the SCH-I500's dev can take a look at this and improve it even more for us..
After Testing for hours, i could never get a reliable score with SD tools from the market.. I'm thinking this is just one more ****ty issue with the Galaxy S phones!!! Thanks Samsung, I'll never buy any more of your **** products..

not sure why there would be, you're just adding cache to the sdcard... and like the OP states, if you do this through rootexplorer it reverts back to factory after rebooting..
You have to do one of his methods to make it permanent...
There's also an app in the Market called SD Speed Boost which does the same thing. It doesn't require you to use Root Explorer to change the value and it has a Set at Boot option so no flashing from recovery is required either.
I bet you could use Tasker to automate this at boot time as well. Nice find, Elijah. I had seen the app, but I would rather do it this way.

If you flash one of the zips from the original post it is automated or if you use the app I mentioned it is automated, not really sure why you'd need another method to accomplish automation but to each their own. The zips just copy a shell script to init that set the value at each boot and the app just sets it when it runs at each boot. Of course the init route would occur prior to the app, but don't see much difference regardless of the chosen solution.
EDIT: Also YMMV with whatever option you choose to apply this mod. 1meg,2meg,3meg,4meg all yielded similar results for me, but I'm not using the Class 2 16gig that comes with the phone. I would imagine slower cards would see more of a benefit.
The reason I would rather use Tasker is to limit the number of things besides the ROM that I'm flashing to the phone (just to keep things as clean as possible). Plus, with Tasker doing it at boot, any future ROMs I install won't need any tweaking. I'll just have to import my profiles, which I'll be doing anyway.
ok flashing in CWM didn't work... It didn't hold the value change after rebooting..
And speaking of the app that does this... The Galaxy S isn't listed as compatible

Just verified that the app does change the value to whatever I select. Could be that the author just hasn't tested on Galaxy S and therefore didn't risk saying that it was compatible. I mean were just talking file manipulation here, nothing more.
SN: I am not that author of the software nor do I know the author of the software. I'm just trying to help and I happened to know about the app cause I downloaded it a while ago. I know no one said anything, but as I read back over my post I did sound like a spokesperson for the app, lol.

I've read through the entire 27 pages of the OP and haven't figured it out, think i've seen a couple people saying writing a script will do the job, but the probelm is it says to push the scripts to a folder that's not on our phone i think that may be the hardest part......

So what's the fastest Write/READ scores you've gotten with the app? And you have a showcase right?
Also let me know what sdcard you've got..

Bringing the triple post back there Eli?
I too tried the OP flash via CWM earlier... speeds seem to vary through my tests with SD Tools.

It looks like yet another shortcoming of The Galaxy S phones. All the HTC report SIGNIFICANT Gains, yet our phone barely budges..
I hate this phone more and more everyday
I have been a big fan of xda for a really long time. I have never needed to actually obtain a username because almost everything can be found with the search function. Problem is I have ran into a couple things that I can't resolve myself with playing around reflashing/factory resets.
Just as a Pre Req - I am using a Samsung i727 on AT&T updated to the leak the day it came out - Have since ran two different Roms
-NexusMod-ICS-Beta-3
- ICSMOD5
I experienced the following problems with the leak and both Roms. I'm just wondering if I'm missing a fix for any of this, or if it is simply something that the wonderful DEV's here have not gotten to. Obviously there are other issues, but in reading threads these are the ones that I have not heard anyone address. I have heard them mentioned, but never addressed.
1. I have a Sony Bluetooth Audio Head Unit in my car. Every ROM I ever flashed for GB I was able to get the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) to work and send the artist/album/song title to my unit. This no longer works and seems to have some serious dropping issues from time to time. As well as a very slow next or back function (all of which was not there with GB).
2. I CANNOT fix permissions. I always try first in CWM (which I have updated and paid for the new touch version) and every time I try click on fix permissions it says done instantly as well as when I clear Dalvik it shows as E: is not found or accessible. I have re-flashed, went back to ICS leak with Odin, used the DarkSide Wipe, went back to gingerbread, flashed to ICS leak, flashed to NexusMod. Still cannot fix permissions. In ROM manager it will just hang up and never finish. I read all the time about people *fixing permissions* in ICS. I have never been able to.
Any insight that any of you could give me on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated. I understand that this is my first post and TBH I'm kinda sad that I actually have to post. For so long you had everything already addressed, and may very well have already addressed this. But my eyes are exhausted, and I feel as though I have checked all my resources.
In short thank you for all that you guys do, and look forward to maybe one day being able to help you.
It seems that the newer versions of CWM are somewhat iffy on some devices (like mine.) I would try a few different versions. I've personally only had luck with the custom version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954
Following the exact same steps and only changing the versions of CWM I got permissions fixed. Hopefully you'll be in the same boat
I have no idea on the Bluetooth issue, most of what I've seen with ICS/Bluetooth has been positive. You might try using a bluetooth.apk from another ICS build with similar hardware (I have no idea what Bluetooth chip we're running.) I think the version from GB probably isn't compatible, but knowing myself I'd probably try it just to make sure.
Also install busybox from the market and run it it might help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Thank you for the quick comments. I am not familiar with BusyBox, but I will make myself familiar and post back with my findings
I will also try that version of CWM touch and report back with my finding's on that.
When you refer to bluetooth.apk How would this be installed? Just from zip in CWM or like a regular downloaded app not via the market? What would be your best suggestions other than the .apk from GB that I will of course try first. The i989 one from there ICS leak? The i777? Just trying to get ideas on what I should be searching for at this point.
Again thank you
Honestly, I don't know what version of the apk you'd want to use, because it's going to depend on the bluetooth chip manufacturer. I'd say something else by samsung shuold be a good place to start
To install, you'd just back up the bluetooth.apk in /system/app using a root file explorer, and drop in the replacement, then reboot

GB Bluetooth has multiple .apk files
-BluetoothAvrcp.apk
-BluetoothOpp.apk
-BluetoothPbap.apk
-BluetoothTestMode.apk
-BrcmBluetoothServices.apk
Tried moving the stock ICS Bluetooth.apk out and replacing it with all of these. Needless to say it FC's on all them repetitively.
Then tried another Bluetooth.apk that I found here:
had to remove this because apparently I'm not aloud to put a link in here
This made the Phonebook portion start working for me, but it still is not sending the tags to the unit. I had an idea to maybe try the old music player and see if that made a difference, because it never worked with googlemusicplayer or Pandora only worked with the stock music player in GB. I am back from lunch now though so unfortunately it will have to wait for my next break to see if it makes a difference.
I do hope to be able to help and be an active member. Though most of the things I know now I only learned from reading what XDA has posted. I will say that trying to post with these almost impossible Image Verification things is rather annoying.
All your issues with the site go bye bye after so many posts

Alright, so... First off I want to say thank you to burgeswe for the idea of trying other Bluetooth apks.
Second off I want to say thank you to MysticKing32 and his Rom Mystic'sPrideICS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560763) for the bluetooth apk's that I copied from them and installed into M0D1441's NexusMod-ICS-Beta-3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574675). This made all tagging work. No issues with Bluetooth dropping on my 35 min drive home and works just fine with DSPManager running.
There are four files from MysticKing32's rom that I copied. These files are:
-Bluetooth.apk
-Bluetoothavrcp.apk
-BluetoothTest.apk
-BluetoothMap.apk
I did not try with the Bluetooth.apk from the stock build so that one may not need replaced/copied. I removed the Bluetooth.apk from system>apps and put these four apks in its place.
Hope this helps someone.. Now does anyone have a fix for ATT Visual Voicemail. After I finally fix that issue I will be dailying NexusMod but some of these things were very important to me..
Thank you again

-Visual Voicemail Now Working (uninstalled/cleared dalvik/re-downloaded from store)

-Can now fix permissions (BusyBox install)
-Shut Down/Restart working (multiple flashes of NexusMod/odin stock ucalc)
-MMS delete fixed (multiple flashes of NexusMod/odin stock ucalc)
Only thing that is kinda iffy from time to time is the POS Radio from UCALC4, but that is something I'm assuming has no full write up for/I would not be able to resolve the issue.

My phone was sitting in my pocket for 10 minutes, and when I went back to the apps, they all restarted. I hadn't noticed this much before now, but it's annoying me now.

Eh. I went for it. Just a heads up to others, there was only 1 duplicate value for me to delete, not the 3 or 4 that most people are reporting.
Not sure why the differences but my phone didn't get stuck in a boot loop :good:. I will try to remember to post back after using the phone for a bit to see if there is a noticeable difference.

Thanks for the reminder!
Overall, switching back and forth between apps does seem faster. I haven't noticed any slow-downs after extended periods of time (2+ days without restarts). The phone doesn't run any hotter, battery life seems the same. Apps still reset after a while though, relay for reddit is something I use quite often but if I don't use it for a few hours it reloads.
I was hoping this would solve a slow-down issue that I am having where I am running spotify, waze, and textra's pop-up response (as a passenger of course). It didn't, the phone still slows down in this situation.
Overall, I don't see any downside to the tweak, so go for it.
Just a thought. Has anyone thought about using an apps2sd type of app to free up memory space? I remember having to do this years ago on an older phone (probably an older nexus)
Admittedly we shouldn't have to be doing this, but needs must.

This doesn't make sense to me. How does installing the app on sd card effect ram?

I think I've confused myself. I give up. This phone is an enigma. I wish it didn't have TouchWiz.

Why did you buy it then or better, why didn't you return it?

This literally has NOTHING to do with RAM. RAM does not equal storage space. What you are referring to is freeing up storage space -- again nothing to do with RAM. Secondly, there is no SD card space, so this does not even make sense to do on the GS6.
Now, I have a question for those who have edited the build.prop. Has anyone used Root Explorer to do so? Secondly, to avoid bootlooping, did anyone change permissions of the build.prop file? To quote someone from a different forum:

after editing make sure permissions are 0644 on it or you will boot loop.

Have you guys changed permissions to this? I want to mess around with my build.prop but don't want to boot loop because I'd have to Odin and it'd just be a hassle / annoying.

Because there's no viable alternative.

Sadly I agree with you. It sucks that on vzw we have to pick between choices that imo each have very negative things about them.

I changed my build.prop file using root explorer (long click and edit in text editor)
When I saved it, it gave it the right permissions as far as I could see. It also backs up the original file as well.

Also, I trusted Samsung to have given some thought to memory management themselves, and not have us figure it the f**k out. I thought I was done with this years ago.
My retired moto x on Kit Kat is far superior to this phone in many regards.
i'm just frustrated. This is an expensive-assed phone, and it looks like we are being treated as guinea pigs. Not a pleasant feeling.
Just did this and restarted, phone seems to be a little snappier though my RAM still shows pretty low. System is taking up 1.3gb down from 1.4gb and my free is hovering around 800 mb. still not ideal but not terrible.

Curious, what is your idea of ideal?

Over 1gb free would be ideal. I dont have a lot of apps running besides a few email clients and messaging apps, and I'm running CleanROM as well.
