does it works in 2.3.7 miui

Installed this the other day. Never had the bug where market would disconnect data but when I upgraded to this market I was getting constant disconnects.

still has it
mine upgraded itself (idk how) but now the 30mb limit is there again

The 30mb download limit is the way android is partitioned on the phone. Samsung basically halfed the partition /cache to give you more app room. Sadly the new market uses that as the download location for the app thus resulting in the limit. I forgot the thread i found this in but if youve rooted and have terminal emulator simply open it up and run these lines of code:
su
cd /
umount /cache
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /
rmdir /cache
mkdir /data/cache
ln -s /data/cache /cache
It moves the /cache into /data so as long as you have some free room where your phone stores apps your good. Only side effect is that you have to do it upon every reboot -.- a drag when you keep flashing things or it just crashes. Srry for the long reply, i just couldnt find the thread this was originally at. Post this around anywhere you see people in dismay about the download limit.

After every reboot would be kind of annoying, i tend to reboot my phone a few times a day. Is there any long term cure?

Put that into a script and load it with a script manager on boot, or use Entropy's kernel which fixes the market bug.

I finally had it pushed to me today through regulars updates. It's nice. New app logo as well.

What's different with this new market update? Looks exactly like my market 3.1

After my market auto upgraded itself, it always force closed. I narrowed down the problem to me editing the builprop to have density set at 200. When I set it to 240, it works, but non 240 value it failed and force closed. I replaced the market on my phone with the one distributed with ROM and all is well with density at 200.

[Guide] how to change the density without density changer

Hello =D
I just played around a bit in /system/ folder ^^
1st you need a rooted phone and a explorer
I'm using root explorer
Open the /system/ folder on your phone(pic1)
Open the build.prop with a text editor (pic2&3)
Edit the 3 things after the "=" on your own (pic4)
Save changes and reboot.
Warning: the lock screen looks like sh*t and it's impossible to unlock it with density 145 or lower!
If some1 has got a problem with my guide please post a comment!
Some other pics r here too =D

You know I was feeling left out since June when I bought my phone I have not received any update notification ever. So this bricking was kind of in good time because I flash the first firmware and then I got the update to 26 notification. I am little bit happier till 2.1 update comes out. Thanks to one touch root, and titanium backup you have nothing to worry.
Thanks for your mods. BTW, off subject I love Vienna and lived there for 14 months, what a City and country.

I've bricked my phone twice using app density changer (or whatever).
It wont boot anymore, yellow triangle with a phone imagem.
But, i wanna change the density.
This could work ?

[Script] Darkness in the dark hours

hi everyone
I present to you:
Darkness in the dark hours​
this is a pack of:
- a script I made
- Gscript lite
- Screen filter(optional, but recommended)
I strongly recommend to you to read the whole post and only then apply my script!
A lot of users tried to find a way to do this, so I polished my script I used for Eternity to make it universal(hopefully )
this script made to work with rooted 2.1+ firmwares and busybox properly installed.
1. Install Gscript lite
2. To make this script revertable on the newer brand of kernels, you will need to add one line to hw_config.sh (because I just don't trust init.d scripts)
run this from adb or any terminal emulator from phone as superuser
Code:
echo "\n\n\nrm /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
3. in Gscript choose Add a script and name it whatever you want(e.g. NOLed) and paste these lines in it
Code:
#! /system/bin/busybox sh
# "turn off keyboard and notification LEDs" for ANY android firmware
# this script needs su access
# made by Adolf1994
# thanks for the help diimaan
# maybe final version - revertable
# requires hw_config.sh modification to be properly revertable
DIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1)
LED=/sys/$DIR
LED1=$LED:rgb1:red/brightness
LED2=$LED:rgb1:green/brightness
LED3=$LED:rgb1:blue/brightness
LED4=$LED:sled/brightness
if [ -s /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop ]; then
chmod 00644 $LED1
chmod 00644 $LED2
chmod 00644 $LED3
chmod 00644 $LED4
rm /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop
else
echo 0 > $LED1
echo 0 > $LED2
echo 0 > $LED3
echo 0 > $LED4
chmod 00444 $LED1
chmod 00444 $LED2
chmod 00444 $LED3
chmod 00444 $LED4
echo 1 > /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop
fi
exit
4. tap on "Needs SU" then save
5. run the script and enjoy surfing at night without the annoying hw leds
(most likely you WILL get stderrs on 2.2+, but it's normal)
Note: if you get EMPTY stderrs, that's no problem. BUT if something is shown next to the stderr, like permission denied, then please report
optional. install Screen filter from market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor&feature=search_result
This is only for 2.1 and/or 2.2. On 2.3 I experienced a problem that's I couldn't press install in package installer activity. I nearly reinstalled the whole thing. You've been warned!
Night is over? Just run the script again and wait till the LEDs light up.
If You Don't Like LEDs At All, This Pretty Line Will Disable Them At Startup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17514012&postcount=27
Q: Why modifying hw_config.sh?
A: Because if you reboot your phone while the leds are off, there will remain a file that normally indicates how the script should act upon running it. That one particular file should not present after boot.
Q: I'm on Wolfbreak's ROM. Won't that mess tweaks up?
A: In no way. Impossible. Unless you didn't follow steps properly.
hope you like it
and don't forget to press thanks button
can I use script manager to run this at boot?
I think it'd be fine
the script didnt work for me i went to my dolphin browser copied text pasted it saved i run it it showed up stderr twice that's it?

from gscript I get a bunch of stderrs, too. however, from a terminal emulator it runs fine, so no problem.
It's the most noticeable if the phone is on the charger, because you will see that the led suddenly switches off.
you can revert the script back with a simple reboot.
Sorry for being a noob, but what does this do? :$
It disables the l.e.d.s. It should be made a little clearer in op.
Is there a script to turn them back on?

@Adolf or @My_Immortal
any new experiments with sd card mounting?
There was some interesting posts by one shaun in link2sd thread! he's using x10! somehow he managed to find more free space in /system than in /data!
so no need of an extra partition, you can just run the script to mount the /system as rw on boot and then link the link2sd mount point to it! I sent a PM to him about how is it working! let's see...
Ohhh but i tried terminal too pasted the script and nothing happened?

There are currently 190 MB free in my system partition, 219 MB in data and 11 GB in my sdcard, so I really want to use Links2SD on an ext partition in my SD, rather than anywhere else!
But it's nice that there's progress!!

Should explain how to do it, just need to add commands to a start up script that is editable on your phone, that runs before the GUI is started. Dunno how I would create a universal script as you will need to edit diff files on diff phones.
If there is anything you don't understand from my post I'll try and help.

market fix for download limitaton-froyo based old market (doesnt work on new market)

forgot to post this before but if you ever have issues downloading files that are beyond 30 mb
here do this from adbshell
umount /cache
busybox mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /
rmdir /cache
mkdir /data/cache
ln -s /data/cache /cache
that will remove the 40 mb limit of the market (shouldnt apply to gingerbread)
Download all files app also works.

Mms causing force close...

So every time I get a mms from my buddy on t-mo, it causes my messaging app to force close. I am running stock froyo with the overstock kernel. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The stock Samsung MMS app has a size restriction on MMS files. I had this problem too. When I get to my computer I can attach the AOSP MMS app that works on froyo. You just have to put the apk into the /system/app folder and rename the existing MMS app to something like Mms.apk.disabled.
sent from my Pinnacle Powered Captivate
Here is the Mms.apk I promised. Sorry for taking so long to get it. It slipped my mind a few times.
You can't just put this on the SD card and install it like any other apk. You have to have root privileges and either use a terminal emulator or ADB.
Put the Mms.apk I attached on your SD card just in the root folder and run these commands EXACTLY like they are written, do NOT type the things in parenthesis, I only wrote that so you know which command is doing what:
Code:
su (for root access)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (to mount as read/write)
cd /system/app
mv ./Mms.apk ./Mms.apk.disabled (to keep the stock Mms.apk to revert to, but not to use)
cp /sdcard/Mms.apk ./
Now reboot and you're all set. This is the stock AOSP Mms.apk so it will look different, but you won't get anymore FC's and I prefer this one much better anyways. I do this on every ROM I use.
Thanks! I actually upgraded to kj3 over the weekend, but haven't had a chance to see if the force close issue is still happening

What are you using old Galaxy 3 for?

Many of us may have brought new devices. But have good memories to cherish for this device. Many of us have learned about Android, modding, flashing etc through this device.
I got SGS 2 and Note 2 but still use this device when I am outdoors like beach, public places etc.
So guys who have got new phone what are you doing with your old device?
still using G3 though I have a new S3.....
Just got my Nexus 4 today and will be passing my trusted old Galaxy Apollo onto my wife (who is smartphone reluctant!). I'm just installing Kyrillos 9.7.1 back onto it after rocking out JellyBean for the last few months. I really loved this phone and it taught me how great Android can be,... although 5 minutes with the Nexus has me so excited for the future, it's FAST!
Can I just say thanks to all the developers that made this wonderful, underpowered little phone so much fun.
Nice to hear that you have moved on. I'm still with my G3, as I can't afford new phone present time, pretending it to be as GS3 and loving it with my soft hands.
I'm using g3 for 2 years now,so i thought it's time to move on.Still my primary phone untill i take a nexus 4...

I use my G3 just to try roms. G3 has retired and my Nexus 4 has taken it's place. I flash Sammy's touchwiz froyo rom sometimes just to remember how laggy that was.

everything it can be used for. fine, that after 2 years I think I know every trick... e.g. I use bind- mounts for apps2sd and not symlinks anymore. and with all the experience collected from all the devs here ( thanks a lot to all) with ram and other tweaks in init.d and build.prop it's fast&stable&great. did not reboot for 2 Weeks now

Can you explain what bind mounts are? And how to use them please?

I try to...
under unix/linux you have at least two ways to 'link' folders to another 'place' in the filesystem.
One way is to use 'symlinks'. BTW symlinks work with files and folders, mounts only with folders or 'drives' (devices, e.g. /dev/block/stl6 or /dev/block/mmcblk0p2).
You know symlinks also from Microsoft with *.lnk files (icons on the desktop pointing to the *.exe files in the program folders) i doubt that is exactly the same technology, but the result is.
in unix/linux/android the command to create symlinks is:
Code:
ln -s /source/place /goal/place
this is usually used by app2sd scripts in this (G3) forum. I think Kyrillos had the idea to do it this way (hopefully i do not insult anyone who thinks she/he invented this... whoever had the idea to gain more space in poor G3 - GREAT GREAT GREAT!!)
One disadvantage in this way is that it won't work in network shares. that means if you have a linux-samba-share for windows-clients, a symlink won't work. you don't have access to the 'goal' of the symlink...
But you can use the mount command with the option 'bind' and then you can access the folder you are pointing to from network client side.
Code:
mount -o bind /source/folder /goal/folder
Maybe it takes more resources of the device memory than a symlink but it works well and seems to be very stable...
To cut a long story short: this is the script i use inside /system/etc/init.d:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
LOG=/sd-ext/01.scripts/LOG/mount.log
mkdir /sd-ext
mkdir /sdext
chmod 777 /sd-ext
chmod 777 /sdext
rm -rf /data/app # to be sure to empty the space to save internal memory, but DANGEROUS if already mounted ;)
rm -rf /data/log # to be sure to empty the space to save internal memory, but DANGEROUS if already mounted ;)
mkdir /data/app
mkdir /data/log
mount -o remount,ro,nodiratime,noatime,nobh,errors=continue /dev/block/stl6 /system
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sdext
mount -o remount,delalloc,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,noatime,barrier=0,commit=600,nobh,discard /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sdext
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
mount -o remount,delalloc,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,noatime,barrier=0,commit=600,nobh,discard /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
mount /dev/block/stl7 /data
mount -o remount,delalloc,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,noatime,barrier=0,commit=600,nobh,discard /dev/block/stl7 /data
[B][COLOR="Red"]mount -o bind /sd-ext/app /data/app[/COLOR][/B] > $LOG

To come back to topic finally: I use my old Galaxy 3 to live one of my obsessions - playing around with computer operating systems of any kind
I purchased an Xperia Sola a few months back, and sold my G3...but I still lurk here just to see whats happening here...
I'm still using it as my daily phone, while waiting for a nexus 4...
I am Using Galaxy 3 for my development purpose now...
As i am growing my knowledge more and more here in XDA...i am seriously starting to develop things now....and hope i can help our devs in near future for the ports.....
As far as my devices are concerned ......I own 2 Nexus Devices now(Galaxy Nexus & Nexus 4) along with my first android smartphone( Galaxy Apollo).
I use this phone!

Don't worry mate, I've been using your ROM for almost 5 months now. Obviously, I've heavily modded it, mixed and matched a few times, put in extra things here and there, but in the end, the base was your ROM
I will be using this phone up until April. after that, I will use it to learn Android programming. yayz!!
Phone for daily use, since this is the only phone I got...
