I like to use my Bluetooth mouse with my SGS3. One of the problems I had to fix was getting the home/menu/etc. buttons available to it, which Button Savior did for me. What I think I'd like now is to be able to map the menu button to the right mouse button. I was wondering if there's a way to do this?

I hate how we only have 1.4gb of room on our internal sd so I was wondering how do I edit the fstab to make it work I've tried a few times is there anyone that can write out the internal and external mount point paragraphs for me or give me a flash able .Zip to do it... I see a bunch of people r doing it I've tried but my phone won't boot when I do it so I have to be doing something wrong...

Like I said everything appears to b working great so far but have been unable to download large games , because I maxed my 4g data so I have to wait until I get in range of wifi
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
I went the least intrusive route and in init.rc (inside of the boot.img) I swapped the EXTERNALSD and EXTERNALSD2 values so /sdcard/external_sd was the primary, which tells all apps (like slacker radio's offline cache and offline nav systems) to save to that folder.

Works beautifully in stock ics, I assume it would work the same in CM10.

It does require extracting and repacking the boot.img, but since I roll my own kernels anyway, that's fine.

Just note that when you swap mount points or do what I did, your apps that are saved to the SD and the data that is normally in the /sdcard/Android folder, and any program that stored it's data on the default sd will be messed up because the location changed.

Just a note.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Thanks Merwin ya I had to reinstall the data for 2 apps I forgot to move to phone before I swapped and moved all the folders to Mt external card but other than that this is how I think all rooms should run expecially on a phone like ours with only 1.4gb of internal sd its stupid to have 3 partitions to mess with it should be set up with internal and external that's it the usb storage is nice but it's what messes with the apps and stuff because it's used like external but is small like internal But this sets it right and its easy as literally changing a 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 on the vold.fstab file in /etc
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
My way is just playing it safe :) Keeping the same filesystem structure (as in mount points) and being compatible with all custom roms based on stock. Same reason I'm packaging the init.d support into the boot.img... no changes necessary to the system, just the boot.

Two different solutions to the same problem. Glad the vold solution works, although it dis remind me to package a stock vold.conf with my kernel also when I release it... otherwise the problem will happen for people with modified vold.conf files :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
is it safe to wipe data after you change the storages.?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
O ya data is just ur data partition ur system partition is where ur mounts r located

But just to let u know wiping data in CWM will only wipe ur data on ur internal sd not ur external it uses the real partition table not the one u altered in Vold.fstab so if u wanna clean out all ur data from apps and stuff u have to either go to each app and wipe data and un install or go on ur sdcard and delete it manually

I hope u understand what I'm saying

The phone only recognizes ur mount points as switched when the phone is booted not in recovery

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntisco:
Are there any tweeks that can we put or change in our rooted Atrix with 2.3.4 stock rom???
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Hmm you can change the lcd density. I like to have it between 200 and 220. Stock is 240. Make things look sharper in my opinion.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntisco:
If someone has tried other tweeks let us know in this post...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedebekri:
I believe you should not mess with the density settings. Otherwise you can face compatibility errors with apps in play store.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Yes, but most of the time, if you clear Play Store's data, it goes away. I never use stock DPI. Its a waste of the screen to watch everything so big, plus it looks way sharper, as if the phone had a higher res. :D

I think 220 was my sweet spot on the Atrix. On my GS2, i have to go lower because of the lower res and bigger screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
True, unless you have a patched Vending.apk. ;)

I keep my DPI at 213, everything looks much better, I feel like I have more screen real-estate, and ever since patching my Vending.apk I never had any compatibility issues on Google Play. (I do however have location-based restrictions, but that's another story and also fixable using other methods.)

I also deleted /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk so the system doesn't overwrite my patch by suddendly deciding to update Vending.apk.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaexcs:
I want to change the density, how can I patch Play Store or where can I find it?.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I just followed instructions I found here on the forum. It was long time ago so I don't remember what was the thread/post, feel free to search yourself. Or if you like you can try my patched Vending.apk, version 3.7.15 (attached).

hi

i want to do root to my phone

but my friend tell me if i do root

i can't update to JB after this

only change rom !

Is this true?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
No it is not, and your friend is wrong. You can update to JellyBean any time you want, and YOU CHOOSE if you want to keep your phone rooted or not.

If you root, you can update to jellyBean using MobileOdin (available in the PlayStore), and choose to keep root or not.

You can also update using the PC version of Odin3, but that way it will NOT keep root.

So, sumarize, you can do anything want, rooted or not, upgraded or not!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Only problem is that OTA update may well fail on a rooted phone .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Why wait on OTA if you can do it using MobileOdin (to retain root) or Odin3 ?

I never had an OTA upgrade and yet I had all upgrades before everyone else.

Besides, you wrote "may", which is the proper word: when rooting and upgrading are done correctly, your binary counter is ZERO and the ROM is marked as official, so any OTA would work if I had patience to wait.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoppelgängerGER:
Yep, you can't update via Kies. But Kies sucks anyway so Odin is your no.1 choice :)

Hey guys my better half has a xl and is having probs with it at the min and is thinking about letting me root it for her a put a Rom on it and she didn't want it too change from.stock really is there any roms that could sort out the probs ie: running slow, reboots, wrong battery percentage displays and a dodgy microphone and keep it looking the same as it does on stock.

[Motorola Photon 4G] joesixpack74:
Maybe a dumb suggestion, but is USB debugging selected and active on your phone? I could be mistaken but, I'm pretty sure it needs to be enabled to be visible in RSD
[Motorola Photon 4G] RandomAcronym:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it is enabled.

Also because RSD mode is loaded before android boots, I don't think it would have mattered anyway. (like fastboot mode and Recovery)

Here's the way to get it working

1. Power off after installing the .bat file.

2. Reboot, when the Sony logo appears, tap twice/thrice (before it vibrates on boot)

3. After it vibrates tap once again. There you should be on CWM now!

Hope this helps :)

But i need a bit help to the volume button, because i don't have the device, please do this and riport to me:

Open commander and go to adb shell

write this to there: cat /dev/input/event0 and pressing the volume- button in the phone.

If you don't see anything, unplug the phone, plug again, go to adb shell an type this:

cat /dev/input/event1

(and change the number in the end, while you don't see anything like in the screenshot, when you pressing the vol- button)

Hi,

Check this.

I should also tell you that the installer script didn't work for me, so I did it manually (open cmd and copy-paste the adb commands one by one). To know if everything is ok just check that the recovery.tar is inside the system/bin.

@OP: The install.bat didn't work for me because the line "adb shell "su -c /data/local/tmp/cwm/step3.sh" requires to accept su but supersu never ask me to (...so when the next command runs, it removes the /data/local/tmp/cwm including the files inside). If I run it from cmd then supersu ask for su confirmation and the files are being transferred to their appropriate folders. My device is rooted with supersu (Bin4ry version 13)

I don't think so.

Because "reboot to recovery" try to lauch the recovery partition. But with locked bootloader, we cannot create that recovery partition.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] espaciosalter20:
In fact, there it's no recovery partition at all. We need to rewrite sola's partition table in order to add a new recovery partition and overpass the embedded one in boot.img
