[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Victor:
Ok, here is the deal: I don't have time today to test all of the in's and out's of this -- but by leveraging the power of this forum, I think it will quickly be all figured out and expanded upon.

1. Most people don't know that if you place a directory called "2577" on an SD Card and place in it a file called "Autorun.exe", the file will run when you place the card in the slot of your device. This works for smartphones, XDA2's and Ipaq's (so I am guessing that it is a WIN CE thing).

2. If you could develop an app whose sole purpose was to execute the cab files in the directory (easy to make, for a dev), you could autoload apps at will.

This means that after a hard reset, if your Ext ROM was empty, you could basically mimmick the loading of the stuff when and how you want to -- without cooking an External ROM.

This leaves tons of possibilities

1. using the EXT ROM area for storage that will not go away on Hard Resets and is larger than the normal persistent storage on our devices.

2. using the EXT ROM area for "private storage" that can be hidden with ITSME's tools.

3. using the SD Card to not only load your preferred files, but also (if someone is really clever and can figure this out) your connection settings and what ever other REG settings you feel like.

I HAVE FOUND ONE "CATCH" HERE...

The autorun.exe will execute upon card removal too, so one will have to probably rename the file while in the device or the directory name to "2577XX" so it will not run again.

if you let your mind wander a bit -- the possibilities are endless here

but again, I have not tested out all of the possibilities nor tested it for problem situations -- so that is where the power of the forum comes in. Seems easy to experiment without nuke-ing your device.

I am going to erase my EXT ROM, make my own version of what I want on the SD card, and use the EXT ROM for storing stuff I don't want to lose ever.

By all means... comment, take this idea and run with it.

I am going to have a little app made that will run all cabs in the 2577 directory in a few days -- but I am dependent upon a DEV resource so the delivery time of this "5 minute application" is not 100% known.

Enjoy!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] little_frog:
It's a great idea. I do like it very much. I will try to play with the concept. But, let me ask you where to get 'Autorun.exe' and comand line for this program.

Thanks,

Ah! I think I understand now. "Autorun.exe" can be any executable program, just name it "Autorun.exe". Right?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] little_frog:
It work like a charm. I copy a program "Autoconfig.exe" and rename it to "Autorun.exe". Then move it to dir "2577". When I insert SD card into the socket, it stand still, nothing happen. But when I turn off and then on, it execute the said program. Then I Off and On for second time, it won't execute, which is correct. It will execute the program again if I take the SD out from the socket.

I can then play a lot of things with it.

Thanks, Victor
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Victor:
you are right.. any EXE program can be renamed autorunexe. I have not got all the permutations worked out yet as to what can or cannot be done yet, but if time allows I will do more research.

I am expecting my little EXE to be finished today, where it's sole purpose will be to run all CAB files in the directory.

When done, then I will post it here.

If anyone has ideas as to how to re-do the connections / reg settings and place them in a CAB file, like the OEMs do, then you can comletely customize evrything at will, with a power-on.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] itsme:
how autorun works

when you insert the sdcard the autorun.exe is copied to \windows, and executed as '\windows\autorun.exe install'

when you remove the sdcard, '\windows\autorun.exe uninstall' is executed, and then autorun.exe is deleted from \windows.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Victor:
So then, in theory, if you manually delete this file before removing the SD card -- it would not run again then, right?

Trying to think of ways to automate the entire Hard Reset issue -- select your Extended ROM programs / settings you want -- and then plug and play. Changing EXT ROMS made to be as simple as selecting which SD card to install after Hard Reset.

Plus, if the last thing you did before the Hard Reset was to perform a backup to a secure area (like the now empty EXT ROM area), you could also have the autorun program look for the back up and do a restore. May be easier than trying to place all settings into CABS and you benefit from having your data again after a Hard Reset -- all in a few sinple steps.

That is the whole purpose of my activities / efforts here. I hard reset at least 2 times a week (I have special reasons for this).

obviously -- some of the ideas presented up to now are simply brainstorming the possibilities. hope to come up with the right and complete idea soon and have it made here. Then post it here for all.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikufellow:
Well there are still no apps that can make full use of s3's horse power let alone s4- nobody can say for sure that it'll be future proof but at least the next major android release - 4.3 (or whatever it is) will be available. 1gb ain't enough by today's standards but it is more or less dependent on your usage also if you are willing to try custom roms especially AOSP based ones - you'll be better off. Also what is your budget - are you sure that there are no alternatives :confused:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Point was that in 3 years + this year its a 4year old phone .

It will still have 1GB still be the same phone still work the same just be a lot slower than the then current phones . But that will always be the case even if you buy SGS5 afte one year .

Would i buy the SGS3 now and keep it for three years personally yes as most of the new stuff does not make it bad at what it does . Would i buy a I9305 with 2GB ram or any other phone with 2GB ram . Definitely a serious consideration the extra ram over the SGS3 .

If You can take the 2Gb version - RAM is never enought:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
false, 1GB is not enough, hence app redraws. and I haven't seen a single PC with 1GB of RAM in the last couple of years
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friartuckme:
ive seen plenty and do so daily when pc's are brought in for repairs.1gb is plenty enough for any application or game currently out on android. if you say that its not then please feel free to provide examples and info to back the claim.,,

if 1gb is enough to play battlefield 3 on a pc then its sure going to do a lot on a mobile with specs as the s3, sure more is always better but that does not mean its necassary
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Are you comparing DDR2 and DDR3 RAM to smartphone RAM? That's pointless, but anyway, PCs with 1GB of RAM are just as outdated as smartphones with 512 MB. And yes, a gig of RAM is enough for every single app, but it's obviously not enough for a lot of apps to be kept in memory, that's why app redraw when multitasking - that's your example.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinhtq79:
2Gb RAM of S4 is not future, 1Gb RAM of S3 is not past, upon on your desire!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
For example to me 1GB of RAM is more than enough, because I am not heavy user I just love browsing on the net, reading some news, to play some not heavy games,to edit photos and I had never experienced any problems with it. But of course it's depends on person, if you want to do with your phone as much as possible (especially if you're busy person who needs to run many apps in background at the same time) then 1GB of RAM wouldn't be enough to you.

And in my opinion on Android more than 2GB of RAM is not necessary because Android isn't very good compatible with multitasking (for example you can't run few windows at the same time like on computer yet of course main reason is too small phone's screen, and Android is more orientated to mobile phones yet but maybe in the future we will see absolutely fresh Android OS) :D

I purchased a s3 around 4 months ago and I can honestly say its the best phone I have ever had. Having come from a xperia ray, the s3 was a huge jump for me and everything about it is brilliant. The battery is awesome! 2200 mah is more than sufficient for me, gets me through a day no problem. The display is great everywhere, except for in bright sunlight. And the speed of the phone is so fast I would never swap it for anything else. Even the xperia z

I tried to turn it on in the morning and it wouldnt turn on. i know how to put my phone in recovery mode, ive done it before but it wont. it will go into download mode but thats.about. it. I know i dont know much about phones but i know how to put it in recovery mode to clear the cache and that isnt working.... any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scotteb:
Does the phone actually connect to your pc? I assume you have the proper drivers installed? Open odin while in download mode and see if it detects the phone. Sounds as if the phone's bootloader is screwed. If its detected you should be able to fix without much trouble. Sometimes you have to flash the original stock rom as the newer ones sometime have trouble for whatever reason. Version 4.0.4 i believe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jessicarabbit85:
I dont have odin on this computer, when i plug it in it isnt recognized, i assumed that was because it wasnt technically powered on. I guess i'll take it to someone tomorrow to have it looked at.... im so out of my element here... thanks.

If you can get the phone into download mode , it should auto install your drivers and make it recognizable by Odin.

just flashed the ROM. gotta say its quite fast.

but HWA settings are giving FCs and I have no idea what HWA settings are.

other than that no issues yet. :)

if you are right then hwa settings are unnecessary for our wildfire's since it gas no GPU.

maybe that's why it FCs?

[Wildfire Android Development] lakshan_456:
if you are working on the next version, I would like to make 2 small suggestions.

ICS gallery does not work on wildfire so replacing it with quickpic would be great.

other one is Play Music app is a little too heavy. so maybe a lighter music player would also be great.

here is the miui player. just a suggestion. :)
