[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
You are right about it's being quite old and we are still far from having stable cm10/10.1. Ram amount is sufficient for me, holds up quite well in multi-tasking despite its lower ram. I don't own a X8 so I am not able to compare between the two. The only issue for me is jellybean updates for the device is still quite a bit buggy and I hope samsung will release the stable version for all regions.

Then moving on. Flash counter won't increase if you flash the original firmware using Odin. Also to root jellybean, the method won't increase binary counter. (Thanks to Shaaan for that:good:) And yes triangle away works on Jellybean. For custom roms, I personally use Jellymod with Cocore-E kernel. Great battery life, fast. I can't say for everyone but it works pretty awesome to me. For kernel, better use custom kernel with permanent cwm/twrp recovery. That way you can flash any custom roms/kernels without increasing your binary counter and for better performance too.

For Odin, if you flash stock firmware by samsung, it won't trigger the counter. No yellow triangle too. So yeah, your device will remain factory-like state. Triangle away works only on Jellybean if I'm not mistaken. So if you're on gingerbread, just flash stock JB firmware by Odin and rest assure no binary increase. Binary count will increase only if you flash custom rom/kernel using Odin.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for your answer, it will help me a lot, in my decision!

Frankly despite the phone being 1+ year old there are not many viable alternatives for me at the same price (in my region at least). All i want is dual core, sd slot and decent ram. The main alternatives are some xperia phones but most have no sd slot, which is really baffling and have lower ram. I will most probably be getting the S Advance unless a new release catches my eye.

THanks again arffrhn!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
You're welcome. Well check out s3 mini and s2 plus too. Almost the same but newer and more ram:)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cassius Away:
Well I am aware of those two models, but in my country at least they are 50% more expensive than the S advance (199 vs 299 euros), and the difference in price does not seem to match the specs.. I am actually also looking at the soon to be released Xperia L which seems rather nice and will be priced at 299 too, so if i go for a pricier phone i wight get that.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda00:
I currently own an S2 Plus.. Previously an S Advance, and I must say the 100 euro price difference is deserved (although in my country the difference is far less, around 30 euro haha ). First, you get a bigger, better screen, a faster processor and GPU, an 8MP camera, 1080p recording, S Beam (NFC), 2 MP front camera, 1 GB of RAM, slimmer profile, stable Jellybean with no bugs and probably 2 more future updates... You also get some software features like Smart stay. So, yes... well worth the 100 euros.

What's the BEST way to Modify Framework-res.apk.. especially How to Sign it and use it without any Bootloops?

I have been trying to enable Ripple Effect on Lockscreen using Frapeti's method but the bool value automatically changes from "true" to "false" after recompiling... it should be set to "true" for the Ripple Effect but it automatically changes to "false" after recompiling.....

FYI:

- If I copy resources.arsc from recompiled framework-res.apk to the original framework-res.apk, the size of the original framework-res.apk reduces from 18 MB to 13 or 14 MB.. and if I put it on my phone - I get a BOOTLOOP then!

- If I just copy the META-INF from original framework-res.apk to the modded, recompiled framework-res.apk... and put it on my phone - I get a BOOTLOOP!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
As I answered you in pm. Use WINRAR, and when you put resources.arsc AND classes.dex file in old apk use STORE COMPRESSION. Like in this picture:

And again, this is written in guides of apk tool, basics of doing modifications of it. :cyclops:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Thanks.. I tried it again and I'm still getting Bootloops!! WHY..?!

- I just changed a few Icons (.png), Default Wallpaper (.jpeg) and edited bools.xml value from false to true for Ripple Effect!!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda00:
You can't edit framework-res.apk using winRAR ... I assume you want to edit XML's and smali's ... Then you MUST use apktool... first decompile as shown in many guides... then after you're done modifying framework-res ... recompile, then open modified framework-res and original UNTOUCHED framework-res and delete META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the modified one (if they are there) and take the ones from the original and put them in the modified... Push, reboot.

Mass Storage Mode not working... Help please

I have flashed XXLQB (serbia) about 1week ago in my new i9070, after that i am not able to transfer files to sd card in mass storage mode,

When i connect to computer in MS mode, at first computer shows the internal sd card and i can browse and copy from sd card but if i try to copy something to sd card the drive stops responding and sometimes few Mb of file is copied then stops responding, Its write protected (somehow i guess) i am searching for the solution for the week reading each n every thread but im unable to find any solution , i have tried XXLQ4(russia) too, even rooted (shaan) , updated to custom kernel co core 5.0 , problem still persists,,, tried to connect to another computer same problem,

Im in deep need of help Please... Is there any solution or i should downgrade to Gingerbread (which would be my last option :()
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Try without changing images. To eliminate that. @Panda00 he didn't modified it with WINRAR. :o And yes, your method is maybe simplier. Btw as I remember compiled apk do not have META-INF folder, so he can just copy one from old file.

So Sami again, try to copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from old apk to new one. And use new one to push in system/app folder. :cool:

I bet you this mess is because those images you changed.

Hi there,

I want to root my SGSA and install a custom ROM on it using this method, but there are still questions I didn't quite find an answer to.

The thing is, I own a I9070P (the freakin' P, which andvantages I don't even use, so it only bugs me). Because of that I want to make super-sure before trying to do anything -- I have tried flashing JB to it before, I don't want to see if those service-guys find out I've been messing around with it again (and worry they don't fix it, although I believe they knew well I bricked the phone, just fixing it didn't cost them nothing).

First of all, I understand I need to root my phone. I'm just not sure how to go about it. I've got this version of fw: I9070PBOLK1 (previously I9070PBOLE2), it's T-Mobile PL. Now, I can't root it with [GT-I9070] [ROOT] Rooting your Galaxy S Advance without increasing the Binary Counter method because it was abandoned after JB was released, so no-one will prepare a rom for me.

There's also this method [HOW TO] Samsung Galaxy S I9070 Advance ROOT for most firmwares!, but I can't find my firmware there. I found in index that XXLD3 can be used, but is it safe for me to use it? Can I use fw provided here? Won't I break anything?

I know how to reset the binary counter afterwards, but I'm simply not sure how to root this phone and not break anything. :)

Cheers. :)

OK, I made it using this how-to: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28535675. And it's working. :)

Hey guys, I have 2 simple (but that I cannot solve) questions.

Ive flashed the Pure Vanilla (V3) ROM. Its pretty good so far, runs NFS MW with no lag at all, same for GTA III and Asphalt 7. It has a few features that im enjoying a lot, such as Faceunlock, Nova Launcher and smoothly browsing in the phone. Im using CoCore 5.2 Kernel.

Anyway. There are some things that I'm missing, like file explorer, notes, and a few others... Is there a way that I could install them (APK)? I mean, notes was the most useful thing in the phone ):

I gave it a try: downloaded a Deodexed (almost a stock one) ROM, opened the ZIP file, went to /system/app and retrieved the File Explorer APK (SecNoteMyFiles.apk or something like that). When tried to install, it failed and ive got a message:

X Application not installed

Can anyone help me, please? I would be very grateful.

Another thing: Ive modded the 'vold.fstab'. It works ok with Asphalt 7 and GTA III. But it seems to bug with other games such as Spirit and Pou (These 2 games are installed at Internal SD (Actually, External SD, because I've swapped memories at vold.fstab)

They do not show up in Applications, and, sometimes, when I reboot the phone, they show up out of nowhere o_O

What can I do so that this doesn't happen anymore? Is there anything that I could do?

One last (question) request: Can I manually change the default ROM boot animation? I, particularly, dont like the Nexus X one.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
The first question: You can't directly install System apps just like that.. you need them in a Flashable Zip form.. so that you can flash it from Recovery.. and that should work....

The Second question: I have no idea what vold.fstab is.. so I can't answer this :p

The Third question: its possible! Get the boot animation you want the phone to display while it boots in a flashable bootanimation.zip format.. the just reboot to recovery and flash it... make sure the boot animation you want to keep has the same resolution stated in its description; i.e a boot animation which is made for our phone :p

(Sorry I'm in a bit of hurry... so can't provide any links now :p)
