I'm on LightJB v1.2 (stock based) and Cocore v9.8 and I'm having problems with DPI change and stock browser fc. I tried setting the DPI to 210 and 220 and in both cases the browser doesn't work. Every other application works without any problems and only stock browser force closes. If anyone has any ideas I would very much appreciate it since I'm using stock browser most of the time.

Edit: Ok I managed to solve this with App Settings Xposed module. I just set my DPI in build.prop to 210 and edited the DPI of browser with the Xposed module to the default 240 and now everything works.

Afaik and based on that experience I feel that the Stock Rom JB (S Advance), including having sluggish issues. All operating system UI is not in accordance with what we expect. Example: RAM is minimal with which we install a variety of applications, mostly the very slow (depending on the size of the application as well) and so draining the battery. Therefore I have to migrate Custom ROM Kitkat. Which already provides a good RAM management and supports kernel cocore in the system ROM.

That's why Samsung never did update the device S Advance. Perhaps due to these factors one of them. But don't be discouraged anyway, because in every difficulty there is ease for sure. As you see in this forum, has abundant variety of incredible ROM from the developer who has to provide it. ;)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPD-21:
"Stable". Yes that's the dream of every Custom ROM users on this forum. The news of the "A" states one XYZ ROM has stabilized. Then "B" gives new news anymore, that XYZ ROM still experiencing FC. Actually, where is the real meaning of the word "Stable" is? I guess only the users themselves who know. But be thankful that we still have a doctor/doctor teams to cure various diseases for our device. :angel:

I think 10% is required feedback from users of a ROM to support the definition of the word "stable" is. :laugh: ;)

It depends what is stable and fully functional to you. Only 100% functionaly is STOCK. All 4.4 has delay when you pick up incoming call for example. I think that you should try and see if it is fine to you.

Has anyone managed to permanently remove swapping completely? I don't like the feeling of using Windows 98 with 32mb of RAM again.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
You mean swapping RAM to preload partition? Isn't it made to avoid our phone to act like Windows XP with 128MB? :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbs:
I had a machine which was used to manage a jewelry's database. It had 128mb of ram, running Windows 98, without swap. Our phone has 768mb (640 to user space) and it doesn't really need swapping..

A proof of that is that NO Stock ROM comes with swap-enabled kernel and they work like a charm. My mom's (800mhz single-core 260mb ram) Android phone is faster than ours, with no swap either.. you can say it doesn't do what our phone does, but even if I use my phone (with any custom rom) just to CALL, it WILL sometimes gag and act like windows does when a lot of data must be read from the swap. The concept that more memory is better is relative to the speed of it. A swapped data to our phone's /preload (mmc) partition is TERRIBLE slow: Our internal mmc/sd "card" does ~30MB/s readings and ~10MB/s writting. A computer with a real hard-disk is 10x faster.. :crying:

So.. yes, I don't want the kernel to even think about swapping anything to that ultra-slow-nobodydeservesit internal memory!! And by "think" I mean that a lot of cpu time is used to compute what "should" be swapped or not.. that's why I want to completely disable it.. but I didn't figure it out HOW yet!! :mad:

"640mb should be enough for everyone", Bill Gates almost said that. :silly:

Aaand you did not use CM10.2 in the time when it did not have SWAP on preload? :D

How can i get the "default" superuser app back?

So the situation is this: i have a i9070 running Carbon Kitkat, i've been using it from build4 doing full wipes between all the updates to the last (build12).

I used to have the SuperSU app installed but i decided to remove it because sometimes, flashing stuff from recovery, when i had to reboot i always got the message "do you want to repair root files" etc. that wasn't solved by blocking SuperSU updates (i saw that someone here suggested to do so to get rid of the problem), anyway after uninstalling SuperSU i still had a superuser app that managed the apps with root permissions, simply going to Settings -> superuser.

Today i tried a couple other ROMs wiping things, changing recovery but finally i got back to Carbon KK, and again i decided to get rid of the SuperSU app but this time there seems to be no other superuser app, since once i uninstall SuperSU all the apps that requires root access such as Aptoide stop working properly, and Root Checker tells me that some root files or settings are missing.

How can i get the "default" superuser app back? Do i need to flash some specific root files again and if yes, which ones?

If you removed superuser.apk from system/app just pushi it back there from ROM zip. Or flash it again…

Since this is based on Android 4.4.3, do I need to flash new GApps for 4.4.3?

If yes, I assume the GApps linked in OP in the dev thread are still for 4.4.2, looking at the date in the filename(gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip).

Which GApps should I flash, I assume I need a trimmed version or something due to memory issues some people are reporting in the dev thread.

I found these GApps on the DevHost: pa_gapps-reduced-4.4.3.zip.

Should I 1) wipe /system, 2) flash the rom, 3) flash GApps, 4) wipe dalvik cache? Is this procedure correct? This is the what I normally do, just asking since I'm making a post anyhow.
