add: halo launcher and wpmusic doesn't hav lib files...

Thanks for the link.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] m1trand1r:
when you put apps manually to system/app/* you need to set permissions to rw-r-r and as microgeek told you...if u open app...sometimes there's lib folder....usually u need to extract with zip editor libs from lib folder and put them in system/lib/* and set permissions to rw-r-r again....now reboot device and apps should work now:)

as i told before there is no lib files in HALO LAUNCHER and WPMUSIC,

i already put my fav apps like cm7 themes, ringtones, bootanimation, quickpic etc...they are working fine....

add: i always changes the permission into rw-r-r using root explorer whenever i put my fav apps into system/app...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] m1trand1r:
hm....it's holo launcher, eh?....can you d/l apps from playstore as usual?...are they compatible with your device according to playstore?

if not..,re-flash gapps again as some apps won't work without gapps....:)...

working

thank you bro, problem was solved.....but the procedure is different....

at first i installed app from sd-card,

that app automatically saved into "data/app" folder and i copied that app from data/app to system/app....problem solved...

in case if you download app from market,

that app automatically saved in "cache/download" then you have to copy that app from cache/download to system/app...

It's been two charges and I wiped system before flash so Batt stats also get wiped. The battery is definitely worse and drain is a lot more.

I don't think battery stats are stored in system partition as it should be read only

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] twinky444:
Rfs is samsungs filesystem. Mtd is replacing that. Partitions are very different from that. Bml ones are unmounted for safety (you didnt read OP?) Odin was for bml roms. Mtd roms uses cwm for flashing. You can forget odin and RFS with MTD roms for the most part. And for those of you who want to go back to bml/froyo roms, just flash them via odin. No need to flash cm7 bml before that. I also have mtd on galaxy s. It's the same and for me it worked always like that.

Do not try to dump/flash mtd partitions/roms via odin. It wont probably work anyway.

use Rom Cooker tool to pull your modified system to your pc....and Rom Cooker will create flashable zip of your current config:)....so whenever you want to re-flash....you can from cwm:D

Can I recover mtd version through cwm or I must flash it first?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
You are not able to use RomCooker here. As mtd flasher has special files. Not that romcooker has. So you need to use adb to pull your files from phone and pack them manually with original cwm package.

What? You mean backup? If you mean backup, then flash mtd first and then restore.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] superfrancy97:
I just flashed the ROM and it's great, however i noticed two really annoying bugs. The first is that when i try to make a call sometimes it doesn't start and if i retry it calls the number i dialed in the previous attempt. The second is that the status bar scrolling is REALLY laggy so when i drag down i barely see the animation and sometimes the screen infos just won't show up. I hope that these two bugs will be fixed soon because the stock ROM is unusable.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] twinky444:
For me the statusbar lag was reduced by a lot if you uncheck JIT - Settings > CyanogenMOD Settings > Performance > Use JIT (uncheck it). Might have side-effects though... Didn't noticed any, however.

BATTERY and YAFFS2 Question

1. When my phone began draining all the time one year ago, I had to buy a new battery...

2. You have the app "Spareparts". In there you have "Battery History" and "Usage Statistics". Most interesting is in the history part is to check out "Partial wake usage". If there is something outrageous, you should uninstall or freeze with Titanium or App Quarantine

3. In Settings - Wireless & network - mobile networks, tick "Use only 2G networks"

4. Disable WiFi all the time u don't need it...

5. I put my Phone to Flight Mode during the night, that's the most effective battery saver ;)

With "Airplane Mode: TIMED! FREE" you can switch it back automatically at a given time...

Someone any more ideas?

[Q] YAFFS2

As i have realized, that yaffs2 is the fastest file system ever used on our phone, I would like to format /sd-ext aka /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 with yaffs2. Has anyone an idea if this is possible and how? Is there anywhere a mkfs.yaffs2 program compiled for our device? ....how did the kernel do this after going back to recovery and continuing the installation of MTD version? I had a look at the installation scripts but no conclusion beside that the mtdblocks are mounted -t yaffs2 after all... :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] superfrancy97:
I tried lots of stock ROM and it's always a crash, lag, freeze, reboot, wifi not activating, media scan, can't install app, connection error, Phone has crashed, Messaging has crashed, can't open dialer. I'm surely more happy and stable with Cyanogen. If you had a good time with stock ROM i'm happy for you!

Thanks for the tip :laugh: , now it scrolls a little bit better and phone is overall faster. Let's hope i can find a solution to the phone issue too!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
I think it's not possible to use yaffs2 with non-mtd block devices.

look at the file updater.sh :

# write the package path to sdcard cyanogenmod.cfg
if /sbin/busybox test -n "$UPDATE_PACKAGE" ; then
PACKAGE_LOCATION=${UPDATE_PACKAGE#/mnt}
/sbin/busybox echo "--update_package=$PACKAGE_LOCATION" > /mnt/sdcard/cyanogenmod.cfg
fi

# write new kernel to boot partition
/sbin/bmlunlock
/sbin/busybox dd if=/tmp/boot.img of=/dev/block/bml5 bs=4096

/sbin/busybox sync

/sbin/reboot recovery

The file /mnt/sdcard/cyanogenmod.cfg contains an update command for the recovery.

when recovery is started, it look at the file /mnt/sdcard/cyanogenmod.cfg and launch the command.

i haven't use my g3 for 4 months, last month i started to use, and change the battery before use....

i saw the battery history nothing seems outrageous, but phone idle 49% & cell standby 49%,........

in india 2g net speed is dead slow (upto 30kbps), and i won't use net all day...

if i put my mob in flight mode, then how my friends contact me???????:confused:

can you tell me how to do that...maybe some tutorial would be nice...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mankokoma:
of course you are right - in flight mode no one can contact you.... so i switch it only when i don't wanna be connected ;)

i assume your problem is a bad connection to your phone provider so it's always working to keep it up. i live in berlin / germany and so i have more antennas all around as necessary and i can see a difference when moving around a lot and specially when going to the countryside.

okay it's all just guessing and guessing but there are a lot of people with draining probs i do not have as you can see in the attachment now more than two days with one charge and i had several calls, sms, looking for weather and surfing www.... the most juice is taken by wifi.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:
People living in cold areas are likely to have a longer battery life that those living in hot ones.

The temperatures in my country have dropped and the battery is lasting a few hours more than it was in summer.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] superfrancy97:
It's true, some people suggest to put the battery in freezer for some time during summer to make battery last longer and it actually works (i recovered an old PDA battery by putting the battery in freezer for 1 month). If someone is interested on how to physically extend battery life can check this website

For the call bug that i reported earlier i discovered that it's just and out of memory side effect, to partially solve that issue i downloaded Auto memory manager and set minfrees to mild (IMHO the agressive profile is useless and just have bad effects on phone's performance and stability), and now everything is perfectly stable, i think marcellusbe will substitute god in heaven :angel:.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:
Yes. Plus you live in a city where temperatures are high.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Nelson George:

yes i know...but, even if temperature is so high, it will ly affect the battery, not the phone process { like phone idle, cell standby }....am i right?

The impact of the battery is showing very badly by the manager. It always show phone idle and cell standby, but it's something else. The main problem is what? :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Stanislaus:
Look at the apps that you have installed on your phone. Some apps run on their own in the background and this causes battery drain. If you have Facebook installed you could turn off auto sync. Its usually set to refresh every hour. This eats data and kill battery life. Head over to YouTube and search for this video by Alexander Ruiz. "How to save battery life on your nexus 4 (android devices)". I had the same problem with my phone and his tips helped.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:
Dear battery life savers,

Can an app running in the background drain your battery? Yes, but it's not going to drain so much that your phone will shutdown after 3 hours.

So far, the highest battery draining app I have used is IM+ Pro. I kept 6 accounts signed in after a full charge till the next charge and it reduced my battery life by around 2 hours, not more. So it lasted around 20 hours with average usage, around 5 calls, 10 to 15 SMS and 2G turned ON the entire time.

Do I use any task manager app or close any processes from time to time? No.

The higher the battery's temperature, the faster it will drain and vice verse.

So, in conclusion, if you have a terrible battery life with less phone usage, go out there and buy a freaking new battery!

Hi, I had the some problem as many other of you with battery. It's know think that we should delete battery status file after flashing new firmware but even if you have problem with your battery and I did it in CWM but for me it work not very good. So I sugest for everyone to download in market app battery calibration for me it work exellent. If you want you can try it and you will see in app is it some note How to use it but I hit callibration and shutdown my phone full charge my baterry and after that starts and my battery have life about 3-5 days it depend on if you run on OC or non OC kernel and useing phone but for me with same calls and some SMS even internet and Viber meesage etc.

Hi!

I thought i fixed this bug by freeing memory but i'm experiencing it again and i think that the problem is the dialer because i tried many alternative dialers downloaded from Play Store and calls just work fine! Can anyone explain this? Is someone else experiencing this?

For the battery drain that everyone is experiencing is probably a battery problem not a software problem so just try to calibrate the battery and if it fails buy a new battery or stop using 3G/WIFI :D i don't think kernel can do miracles, it does magic but it doesn't do miracles.
