It wasn't an official feature, it was just a version of CWM6 that happened to have that enabled instead of disabled. Was definitely ICS, but can't remember at this point which it was.

Stupid question here, went to set a ringtone, chose explorer instead of android system and hit always, now I can't find where to turn off that default setting and let me use the system again to set my ringtones instead of explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
The 'right' way depends entirely on what OS and ROM you're running. But one lazy way to trigger that is to install another explorer alternative like ES, which triggers the popup question again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Thanks, I'll give that a try. It's cm 10.1 anyways if that helps.

EDIt Install ES, worked like a charm. Had a brain fart moment there and didn't want to reinstall again just to fix that. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
You can also hit settings,app then the app used and clear defaults.

doesn't work when I picked the default cm10.1 file explorer as that one isn't even listed as an app in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Did you look under the all apps tab? Ive removed it from my current rom that is based on cm10.1 so I cant verify its there.

All of my system apps show up so that should too.

That technically is the only way to clear defaults on unrooted stock roms.

/shrug
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Or doing what I suggested and what he did, which is installing another app that also takes care of the same handler and forcing another "Always/Just Once" selection choice. :) That also works on stock ROMs and doesn't take trying to figure out which alternate name they use where.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
The method I suggest is the proper way according to google.

It also will save some steps.

If the app you do not want to use is not listed under its play store name then just uninstall it from the play store.

Looking at my list of installed apps under all I dont see any apps that are not identifiable fairly quick. I have two apps that use a generic name but that is because one is cerbus and the other is a side-loaded app from another rom for wallpapers.

This is really a moot subject as to who is right or wrong.

I just think your method adds more apps to have to remove from the device and the all apps listing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I wanted ES file explorer installed anyways since it has network access, good root access, etc, so it worked out perfect.

dead internal sd - galaxy s 4g t959v

Hi,

I am a Noob. I have followed numerous XDA threads and post and I have to thank all of them for the help so far. Here is my problem:

Samsung S 4g T959V is stuck in bootloop. Was working fine, but now get "can't mount system/csc/TMB/system" and "can't mount system" and sd card errors.

I think internal sd is dead. Adb will not recognize the phone.

I have partitioned the external sd (8gb) card into two partitions EXT4 (1.54gb) and FAT32 (4.86b). I untared the PDA file and put the files in the FAT 32 partition. I do not know how to make the phone boot from the external sd.

Please help with step by step guide. Also forgive if the post is in the wrong thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
you sure you have the sgs4g (t959v)? only asking cause i don't recall it having an internal sdcard. pull the battery and check behind where the battery was and look for model number. ;)

I had the same problem I used a program called USB Disk Storage Format Tool and it took about 30 minutes to format the sd card but it was able to mount and readable.

Now I am finding reboots and battery is draining really fast I'm on VB Final with latest Lightning Zap. I used Kg4 and bhuvden kernel to clear gremlins but still seeing problems!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sistema1927:
How did you get the HP tool to recognize the SD card? Do you have a USB card reader?

I have used the HP USB tool for years, but mainly for thumb drives before installing a bootable Linux distro.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
Yes I used a sd card reader my laptop recognized the sd just phone didn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Reddd - Do a search about formatting SD Card. People have had success using different formatting utilities to fix this. Also look for whether to format fat32 vs fat....

If you would have already done a search - here is one person saying Panasonic's SD card formatting utility worked for him.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
wait no you read it wrong I was helping the other guy.

but you can help me with this, I cleared gremlins with instructions from thomas.raines in his lightning zap thread, I am now running final black edition with lightning zap latest version, and I receive a like two to three reboots plus battery drains really quickly

and second why does no one read the op?

Half the questons in a thread are on how to install a rom when its spelled out on page one?

and third why do people that cant seem to read will pm u with the most stupid questions? I want detailed instructions on how to install the rom.......

Directions are in the OP

Third

Peoples questions why cant the op's be more detailed.

Answer were here to develop not write novels every time we develop a rom if we did that the op would be the first 3 pages...

dont take this wrong just if you plan on flashing roms learing some of the terminolgy goes along ways sence we write them with the understanding u would already know where a some of the stuff is and b some of the lingo we use

@Luminous, QuickPic was actually the one I downloaded, and is usually what I use if the default gallery apps is acting funky, I hope I'm not reiterating my earlier question, but I understand there's alternatives to the default gallery app, but it is the why it doesn't work, or what other problems might there be if the gallery apps says "No Files"?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I read your reply after getting a pm that said "really? are you just wanting to be lazy?"....

IMO if devs update the initial posts with known issues some of the threads could be avoided. However there is no amount of space available to cover everything. My point is things that have easy workarounds like my example.

I remember somebody posting K.I.S.S. The biggest issue is sometimes it can be interpreted as too simple and people arent use to that. I came here from a phone that required you to use something like SOC or gingerbreak. Then you had to push flash_image to your sdcard to get a recovery. I was shocked how easy it was to root a Galaxy S 4G.

Also raver I read the OP of every rom, theme, and tweak I use. If something just seems too simple I over think it and end up confusing myself. Im sure some of your pms are for that very reason.

Uggh I have all kinds of responses to your post. Dont wanna create a novel responding.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GreyDark:
Is this stupid enough? What am I actually supposed to do, after the 10 or more minutes waiting for a ROM to sink in? At this point I usually end up leaving it alone for another hour.... should I start using it? Should I be rebooting it?

And when I use the Heimdall One-Click, should I delete /data and wipe cache after it's done doing it's thing or should I simply reboot and go to the wait 10 minutes, and then do whatever I want?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Once a newly flashed ROM has set for 10-15 you should be good to just use it normally. Myself, I go ahead and reboot it once more after the wait just to help settle things in, but I don't think another reboot is really necessary.

After heimdall or Odin you should be good to boot straight into cwm and flash your ROM of choice. Shouldn't be any data to delete, and not necessary to let it cook, unless you plan on running the stock ROM.

Last time I Odin'ed I let it fully boot, immediately pulled the battery, booted into cwm, flashed my ROM, let it set, rebooted once more and been running great since.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
No... AS and lightning zap will delete any previous tweaks you had before...

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

As a just in case something didn't completely delete, I like to wipe data, factory reset, etc. Brian (bhundven) has mentioned the same thing in other posts. It seems redundant of course, but it doesn't hurt.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GreyDark:
Thanks for that, the reason I ask is because I haven been getting stuck into bootloops, soft-bricks, and my sd card not being read in recovery sometimes. For the sd card not being read it could be because it's a new sd card, but I put in my old one, it still won't be read until heimdall it all again. Not sure exactly what is wrong with the new sd card that's been causing all this for me. Or problems with flashing a rom.

I have tried to follow the threads, and tried everything going to stock through Heimdall one-click. It comes back with the message "E:/ can't open system/csc/TMB/system". Also I have tried stock + CWM. When I try this method, it goes to CWM recovery and gives the following messages:

E:/can't mount system, can't open recovery log, etc.

I have read a lot of threads and tried almost all the options, my phone is still on the "Galaxy S exclusively from T-Mobile" screen bootloop. Could this be a hardware issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Yes, it could be a hardware issue. No, we aren't at your computer so we can't validate that the stuff that works for everyone else with a working connection really does fail for you. Unfortunately we also can't validate that a SGS4G-working USB cable doesn't fix the issue, nor that you don't just have bad drivers installed.

At this point, the fix is kinda on you.

SGH-T959V

Just curious, could phone be booted through an external sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Doubtful with where they are currently. It's possible to sideload ROMs through USB if you have the right kernel on, but... you need to have that kernel up first.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] S4GRL:
bricked SGH-T959V

I don't think sideload through usb will be possible, because my phone is under constant boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Well, that would happen through the recovery mode. As in, unplug from USB, remove battery, replace battery, hold volume up and down (both) and hold the power button until the screen lights up. Let go of the power button but keep holding the volume keys. It should boot to the recovery mode where you can use ADB, mount the sd card, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] S4GRL:
bricked SGH-T959V

I have tried the recovery mode option, with ADB. Even under recovery mode, my phone is under constant bootloop.

Thank you all for trying to help me!!

SGH - T959V Boot loop - help!

Issue so far: Kind of long story,

I was on cm 10.1 and one day I left my phone on the table for couple of hours, when I came back, I saw the droid on the back with red triangle and exclamatory mark. Tried to reboot, only black screen.

I decided to go back to stock, so flashed KC1 files through Odin and it reboots directly to CWM 3.2 with the errors:

e:/ can't access system/CSC/TMB/system"

e:/can't find recovery_log" etc.

I put the phone into download mode again and flashed KJ6 files through Odin. Still my phone is on boot loop.

I have posted on lot of forums and gone through several threads and forums and tried to go to stock with still no luck. My phone is on bootloop even in recovery. So I cannot run adb commands.

After flashing KJ6 files, I flashed bhundven's [KERNEL][BML] BlastOff - v2.5 [2012-11-18] from this post

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1828171

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
1) You wait for someone to fix it. Either Beast when he comes back after being unbanned , or airfluip1/noiphone if they get there first.

2) You download the source and fix it yourself. Then hopefully you give a merge request and share the joy.

Also, that CM10.1 isn't the newest anymore. The Aries builds are both faster and less buggy.

Corrupt internal memory SGH-T959V

I have a problem with my SGH-T959V. The internal memory is corrupted, but not dead. I have followed many threads and solutions, but still by phone is on bootloop. I have studied many threads, trying to boot the phone through external sd card. I read the following post:

" To recover:

- Partition and format your 16GB+ external microSD with at least two primary partitions, vfat on the first one and rfs (or whatever fs is supported by your firmware) on the second one.

- Acquire a stock ROM, in my case I used JL2

- untar the PDA portion of your ROM of choice (you want zImage and factoryfs.rfs)

- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs )

- grep for /dev/block/mmcblk, there should be 4 .rc files containing references to it as well as within the binary file /init.

- use a text editor to replace all occurances of "mmcblk0" with "mmcblk1" (and vice-versa if you feel so inclined) in the .rc files.

- use a hex editor to replace "mmcblk0" with "mmcblk1" in /init.

- create cpio archive of your modified initramfs with `find . | cpio -H newc -o > ../initramfs.img`

- repack kernel and initramfs ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789712 ), you should have a new_zImage now.

- Mount the factoryfs.rfs as a loop `mount -o loop,rw -t vfat factoryfs.rfs /mnt/loop`

- Modify vold.fstab - this topic is well covered elsewhere (swap sdcard and sdcard1, swap mount points), then umount your loop

- Flash factoryfs.rfs and zImage using your favorite method.

That's it! Your phone will now boot and complain forevermore that the external memory is corrupt. ToDo: use third partition on external microSD as external_sd...

I followed the first few lines, got the custom rom and untared the PDA portion. I have a few questions, from the 3rd line of the above post:

- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs ) [[I created a GITHUB account. How do I proceed with extracting the initramfs from the zimage on my computer. Please explain the steps, bit confused.]

grep for /dev/block/mmcblk, there should be 4 .rc files containing references to it as well as within the binary file /init.[[what is grep? Are these files in the zimage?

- Please explain cpio archive, mount factoryfs.rfs as a loop and also how to modify vold.fstab.

Please explain the steps in detail as the steps are very confusing. I will really appreciate your help. OR If somebody can make modification and unpack and repack the zimage for me.

thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That's your problem, we don't have a JL2 rom, make sure you only follow guides meant for your phone, so let's verify.

Do you own an SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W. (Check under the battery).

If the answer is yes for either, then follow lumin's guide:

Hmm, it might be worth a shot to just try to reflash the stock rom using heimdall... It's odd that it still has you in a bootloop. Also try taking out your sd card and sim card while you're doing all this.

Just an update. The phone is still on boot loop. I have tried all the options and I think I am going to buy a new phone, unless there is an option to boot the phone from an external sd-card.
