Default storage locations changed? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

So I flashed the stock 4.1.2 Jelly bean update and everything is good except that I've noticed that the storage locations for a lot of things have changed. Any way for me to make it like it used to be? This is changing all my apps settings and stuff. Thanks

You must have been on 4.2.2 previously. 4.2 and 4.1 use different file structure.

You can always use symbolic links in init.d to get whatever directory structure you want

Notepad/Taking App

In a previous ROM I used (unfortunately I can't remember which one) there was a note taking/notepad-like app that had handwriting recognition and had a very simple interface. I'm thinking the icon was red and white maybe??
I realize this description is rather vague, but does anyone know what this might have been called or if there are any such apps available? I have searched the google store and none seem to work the way I remember the app working.
Thank you,
Zack
Could it be Papyrus!

What Rom are you running. I am on SlimBean 2.9 and installed it straight from market. Could be because of the multi DPI market in Slim Bean Rom, but if you downloaded it before on stock rom I am of no help currently.

JB Aokp.
I can download it from the market just fine. When I open it, it says it won't work with my phone because of my small screen size.

Its a decent app and I bet its the DPI difference between us that allows me to run the app. I believe I am at DPI 182. Are you at factory 240?
For taking notes (or saving stuff like pics, screenshots, files etc.) just use Evernote.
If you want a text editor, I'd go with jota+.

incompatible app in market

OK I'm having a problem with my Samsung infuse 4G. I just put ice cream sandwich on my phone and ever since some apps are now incompatible with my device that were compatible so is this something I can fix or is this something I just have to deal with. Anyone with any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Depends on the app.. I know a lot that didn't update from GB. Flash is a big one of the top of my head. If you have a TB backup you could try to restore it that way.

Yeah I'm not sure I read alot of posts talking about editing the build.prop file to trick the market and I followed the instructions and it still didn't work. Also read a few posts about it being a problem with the LCD density tried changing the settings and still incompatible apps in the market.

What apps. I will try to download some to see. My DPI is set to 213. I'm on cm10.1 though. What ICS ROM are you usingM

I just encountered another problem I'm able to send and receive SMS messages but I can't send or receive MMS messages I'm starting to think that this whole rooting the phone and custom roms isn't worth it unless I can resolve these issues. Anyone else having these issues, or does anyone have the solutions. Thanks for your time.

What apps are causing issues. I know the first time I went to ICS I had to adjust my APN settings. With the amount of people running ICS and JB without issue I'm sure we can help you through it.

By the way I'm running the infinitium rom the newest version.

I know a lot of development has stopped for ICS. Try moving up to JB. Either Scots cm10.1 or akop. Both are great.
Akop

Does everything work on JB

Practically everything, except a select few like hdmi and 720p video recording.
4.2.1 is still missing a few options that need to be merged, but its quickly making progress.
I just got the latest 4.2.1 and everything works like a charm so far... Love it!

Question for the jedi jelly rom

I am a little confused with the two downloads on the post. I am using jedi jelly 2 at the moment, it runs great, but I saw that there was an update on it. Jedi jelly 3 rotation Fix (ull3) flash bar. Is what I downloaded. But no matter what I do with it, I get a boot loop.
Tried flashing it as a fresh install.
Tried flashing it over jedi jelly 2
Am I doing something wrong?
I looked for other questions like mine on the jedi jelly thread, but none of it answered my question. Is it a separate rom or an update for the older one?

yup, the flash bar was turned on by default. i only had a few problems with it, but that was my fault, i didnt follow the install instructions 100% i think it was only that i didn't fix permissions like it said to, but after fixing them it fixed all of the problems i had.
as far as i could tell, language and input was not working.(works now after i fixed the permissions, like the forum said)
it also force rebooted at about 30%, then powered on with 14%

[Q] Dark Knight incompatible app issue

I recently flashed Dark Knight ics on my infuse 4g.
The main issue that I am having is that previously compatible apps on gingerbread, are no longer working on my custom ics flash. how can I resolve this?
Hi, I hear you have my ROM? Haha, anyways some apps are still in development for newer Android versions than gingerbread.

It is the bank of america app, its been released for ics and jellybean already....
My best bet would be that it only has gingerbread support for this specific device, but i'm unsure of what compatibility options you can set. and based upon your response, this isn't an known issue that you know how to fix.
Is Dark Knight ever going to become jellybean, or is it stuck at ics since its a port?
You could try changing the build.prop just to download it, other apps may not like it, do change it back after its installed

Running pretty smooth on my infuse with no problem.
I'm running beanstalk.
Little bit of lag is because of the hardware.

What do you think I need to change? I tried changing the model, but couldn't download still.
You could just get an app called 4shared. Its much easier than changing the build.prop

[Q] touchwiz

Can someone possibly make a touchwiz ROM that replicates some of the basic features the s3/4 has, i.e launcher(if possibly), s voice, and s memo

There -was- a heavily kanged and unstable stock kitchen build similar to what you are looking for... but... well in short, the guy just pulled it a few weeks ago.
You weren't missing anything, it was unstable, unmaintained, and unworth your time to flash.
Your best bet is to find those apk's (launcher, s voice, and s memo) using that nifty search feature and push them to your choice of stock based rom (my preference on that would be tweaked using the stock kernel).
Keep in mind that the launcher won't be perfect (i'm assuming you will end up with smando's).

You have to unzip and install like a normal app I think (it's been awhile).
For the widgets you have to push to /system/app

If you have it in /system/app touch to install it again (seems weird here but it works) - then delete it from /system/app. Reboot.
You should have it there since you installed via cwm zip. Let me know how that works out.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda premium
Guys... I recommend using Paranoid Android with changing DPI per app. Also some apps aren't going to work because of the framework files... until you go specifically fix the files for each app.

Yeah, since smando's was made for ICS. If you are on JB you need a different version.

That's weird, I've flashed that zip many different times and never had any issue, let alone an imei issue.
