[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomik1337:
Hey guys.

I'm pretty new here and my knowledge for Android is not that...good, so to say...

I was wondering, when I bought this beauty, the mobile service provider said that it had 16GB.

I find pretty curious the fact that when I access the Storage menu of the phone, I only see about 3,90GB available.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal (even if the phone actually has 8GB of storage instead of 16)?

I would like to add that I have never rooted the phone. It has been using the stock firmware and settings since I bought it.

Thank you in ADVANCE :D

This looks like 8GB version. 16GB should have 11GB for data.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomik1337:
So I am guessing it is normal to display only 4GB, right?

Thank you for the reply.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
For 8GB version it is normal. I have that much for data. That 8GB is used for system, app, data partitions...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomik1337:
Yes, I knew something like that.

Thank you!

PS: I noticed that there are moment like 15 seconds or something when I can't send or receive messages. I also encounter moments when I can't call/send messages/receive messages until I turn off the phone and turn it on again.

Might this be a common issue for this phone?

Hm, signal proglems? I didn't have that kind of problems. There was some problems, but every time in the morning. I called provider, and they said that there was some maintance on network.

If you feel 3.91GB is not enough you can make some changes using Root explorer But sure you must Rooted your phone to enjoy Bigger storage space...... You can see picture below my phone USB storage Total have 29.32GB :silly: :D WOW so huge & all your apps after install sure will store in USB storage so for me USB storage 3.91GB is very tiny small & really not enough for me specially for gamer... :p :fingers-crossed:

Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum, but i find it the best place to find answer to my problem...

I own a Sony Xperia P and wanted to install MIUI on my phone, i had it rooted before, installed an CWM Recovery today and installed MIUI from ZIP. (Followed the instructions on the ROM page) and then it said to "Again Boot Into CWM" so i rebooted the phone and then my problem started... The phone does an vibration after booting but no screen or LED is coming up only an vibration. I got nervous and started to search over for solutions, tried to flash stock kernels or use SUS but it seems it doesn't detect phone at flashmode. When i plug in USB i get the green LED and then it comes to an short red one and dissappears. That's all i know for now if anybody of You could help me i would be really grateful :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
You're pressing the Power button which is the issue mate. Turn off the phone, Connect usb cable to computer, start up Flashtool and when Flashtool prompts you, holding down the Vol Key, plug in the phone and it'll work fine :p

Hope it helps :)

I've read around on trying to find the answer to this question but cant seem to find it....

I would like to know how you change the kernel boot up image you get when you turn on your phone,

is this even possible? and if it is what format would i have to make the image

Seriously does nobody know how to change the Kernel boot image???

That is incorrect.

As long as the phone is rooted and you have a file explorer (ES File Exp) installed, you need to copy the dowloaded .zip file to the following location:

/system/media/

and rename to bootanimation.zip. Reboot and shazaam

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
I woke up today to some problems. My S3 would boot up and everything but the touch screen was unresponsive and I was stuck at the lock screen in landscape orientation. I had no idea what was going on so I used odin to flash the stock root66 image to try to fix my phone and now I get stuck at the 4G LTE boot screen. Does this mean that there is some sort of kernel issue? If not, does anyone know what is going on? And how would I fix this problem?

EDIT: I fixed it by odin-ing back to a the stock image but now for some reason my messaging app FCs constantly and I can't use it. I installed Go SMS Pro and it works but it does not display any sort of message. It tells me that I have new texts and whatnot but the conversation is blank. I'm going to try to do a full wipe and restart from there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gseyffert:
Having the same issue trying to get SMS to work on the GalaxyMod ROM, it'll boot to the rom, but say I have no service. Bummer. But you can always boot to recovery mode and restore a backup; that always works just fine for me, so that you have a working phone in the meantime.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
I could not get into recovery to do anything of that sort. I used Odin to push the full wipe verison of the stock, un-rooted firmware and now I have a working device. The only problem now, other than losing a lot of data, is the fact that my phone memory is only showing up as 11.8gb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
That isn't a problem as even though your phone says it is 16 GB but like all devices it needs a certain amount of space for the OS files.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jjackd6:
Do any of the custom roms fix the issue of apps unable to save to the external sd card, or is that just a feature of the os and cant be changed?

[Android Apps and Games] Dennis.Z:
I'm sorry you're disappointed. This feature will be added soon. Do you have more suggestions?

You are right, there are many apps with similar functionality - but after several checks, I found that these apps are lack of features. The paid version will be released soon, it will contain some cool features like the reminder and more.

[Nokia Lumia 800] Cyler:
Hey guys, just wondering if I'm SOL.

I was going to wait for the official update, but I noticed last night that I have over 8GB used by "Other" and thought it might be a good time to factory reset my phone. If I'm going to do that, I might as well install 7.8 right?

So I started looking into installing 7.8 and noticed that there are no Telus/Canada versions of 1750.823.8858.12460 in Navifirm. Is there another version I can use without bricking my phone?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
You should be able to use any version on your phone including RM-801 variants. I have the Telus model and I have experimented in the past with other firmwares. Keep in mind that if your phone has been unlocked it will re-lock after flashing a new firmware, so make sure you have the code.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Cyler:
Are the radios effected in doing this though?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
RM-801 are 900mhz and RM-819 are 850mhz. This is based upon the hardware not software, so if your phone is RM-819 and you put 801 firmware on it it will still be 850mhz.
[Nokia Lumia 800] theusername:
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 Black Telus, I have been using it unlocked in the states. Anyway, I flashed the RM 801 APAC black version and it kept my phone unlocked. I have been using it for a couple weeks no problem.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Cyler:
Ok cool, I'm still more used to Android where you can mess with the radios and connectivity a bit.

Thanks for the help :D.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
That is good to know. Every other past firmware I have tried has re-simlocked the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pogi1100:
EDIT 07-06-23: Xposed module (made by [MENTION=434511]agentdr8[/MENTION]) that does the same thing can be found here.

EDIT 07-06-21: Guide is obsolete and does not work. The ROM I was using (Carbon) had native FB syncing enabled already. Xposed module is in the works.

EDIT 07-06-14: Tested working with KitKat! There's a great app on the Play Store called Sync.me that claims to be able to sync phone numbers, though I'm not sure if that's really true so see if works for you. Sync.me DOES NOT sync contact phone numbers... You will still need to do this mod to do that.

So apparently Facebook and Google had a cat fight and the result was that AOSP users ended up losing the ability to sync our contacts with the Facebook native app.

Now, there are apps on the Play Store which will allow you to sync things such as events, timeline, HQ photos, etc., but NONE of them allow you to sync phone numbers.

This guide will teach you how to modify a certain /system/app/ file (ContactsProvider.apk OR GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk depending on Android version) to allow Facebook syncing.

Required Programs: 7-Zip/WinRAR, ADB recommended

Step 1: Modifying the apk:

a. Make a folder called "res" and inside it make another one called "value"

b. Inside the "values" folder, make a .txt file and edit it to include this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="unrestricted_packages">
<item>com.facebook.katana</item>
</string-array>
</resources>

c. Save the file and rename it to "arrays.xml"

d. Copy ContactsProvider.apk/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to your PC and make a backup

e. Open it with 7-Zip/WinRAR, drag and drop the "res" folder into the apk, click "OK/YES" to any prompts

f. Transfer the apk back to your phone and overwrite the existing one in /system/app/

Step 2: Database Editing (you may or may not need to do this, do it anyways :p):

a. (Optional) Clear your Contacts Storage app data as well as your Facebook app data.

b. (Optional) Reboot your phone.

c. Type this into adb shell or in Terminal Emulator (make sure to be in root [type "su"]):

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db 'ALTER TABLE raw_contacts ADD COLUMN is_restricted VARCHAR';

If you get an error code saying duplicate/it already exists, then you're done.

Should anything go wrong, restore your original ContactsProvider.apk/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk, clear your Contacts Storage app data, and reboot.

Your Facebook contacts should start syncing. If it still doesn't sync reboot your phone twice and that should do it.

Re: [GUIDE] Get Facebook Sync (with phone numbers) working on CM10+

Dou you have the same for calendar to sync Facebook birthdays
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phazei:
All this does is fix the permissions to allow the Facebook app to do what it was already programmed to do. There's no way to make it do more beyond what it's original capability was.

Also, as a general note, this thread has an APK that can be downloaded so you can skip doing the decompiling or sqlite modifications. Note that it'll only work on AOSP and CM10/10.1 roms. For any other roms, do it yourself.

I saw it on the internet somewhere... I don't know where it is now haha
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kessaras:
i want to reopen this thread and add this info for everyone. there is an easier way, the way i did it. for those who dont have knowledge of decompiling and compiling apks this way is the best.

use root explorer , copy ur contacts provider apk to computer, open it the way it is using a zip rar manager , make the file: value/arrays.xml on the pc and add them as they are inside res... like that u dont need to decompile and recompile the apk. copy the apk back to system/app of the phone.

next step , uninstall facebook, sync ur contacts with all the other accounts you want and when sync is finished, copy the database file ( /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db ) to ur computer , open it with some sqlite manager and modify the table: raw_contacts. add a line : is_restricted , dont choose what value it will have , leave it blank. save the database and copy it back to its location in the phone. install facebook and sync. :good: tested on cm10.2.

nope it doesnt work. there is no sync app in any market that could work for greek language. greek right their name either in latin , either in greek , either in "greeklish" ( greek using english alphabet ). those apps out there cant sync properly if they dont have contact phone access.

please share any working methord if you have.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pogi1100:
Hey, it's been a while since I last did this and this guide may be obsolete. I will check to see if this still works on KitKat (4.4.3) and will update the guide as soon as I can. I'm not entirely sure, but the Sync.me app in the Play Store advertises that it syncs Facebook phone numbers as well. I'm not sure if that's actually true since AFAIK there is no way for an app to do that unless the ContactsProvider is modded (I may be wrong). Check to see if it works for you.

EDIT: Updated OP with completely revised guide (thanks [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]). You should have less problems with this method as you don't need to decompile/recompile the apk at all.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mew1033:
Does this still work if GoogleContactsSyncAdapter is odexed? I have a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.odex file in /system/app as well...

I tried it, and it didn't seem to work, then I attempted to deodex the file and do it again. I must not know what I'm doing (likely) because it didn't work.

I followed the steps as closely as possible; the only thing I noticed was the presence of that odex file. When I rebooted, I used sqlite editor on my phone to make sure the column had been added to the table. It had.

Nothing happened. My google contacts slowly started coming back, but Facebook never did.

Here's what the Facebook account section looks like:

I'm on stock Nexus 5 4.4.3
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pogi1100:
Hey, I haven't tested this on odexed ROMs yet. My guess is you gotta be deodexed for this mod to work because it does involve modifying an apk :(.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mew1033:
Alright, I've updated my rom to a deodexed version of stock. I've been trying to get this mod working pretty much all day and I can't seem to make it work. I did however find some information. First, on KitKat, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk AND ContactsProvider.apk both exist. GoogleContactsSyncAdapter is in /system/app, and ContactsProvider is in /system/priv-app. Okay, cool.

Now, the second weird thing. I've modified these apks about a hundred times, following the guide to the letter. But I don't think I'm doing things right. There is just no change. I can verify the database gets updated, that's never the problem. The FB contact sync option just doesn't show up. It think that something's not working right with the apk modding... All the other xml files in the apks are full of binary data, not just plain ASCII.

Also, I downloaded this file and looked at it in 7zip. It doesn't even have the value folder, much less the arrays.xml file.

Do you need to decompile/recompile here?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pogi1100:
Hey, try modifying only GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk in /system/app and leaving ContactsProvider.apk alone. I got it to work on my device that way. IIRC, as soon as I replaced GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk with the modified version and opened Facebook, I was greeted with the sync screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mew1033:
Alright, I just gave that a try again just in case. No good, nothing changed.

Do you have any other ideas? I feel like I'm following your directions correctly, but I can't seem to get it. Could you maybe possibly send me your GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk file?

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. :)
