would this have an effect on data/factory reset? would it wipe the sd instead of the internal?

Thats a good question

Would you mind asking him to make also the reswitch zip file for our epic touch phone, So we can revert back If we need to.
Thanks in advance

I flashed the zip and it works great, however I'm not seeing the internal memory now, according to the dev in the original thread you should see the internal as sdcard-ext, but i can't seen to locate it.

Great to see this, I made a thread also hoping this could be made possible in q/a forum. Now to see if link2sd will work for me.

Hi this is a great mod, however this mod made me lose 16 GB of storage space and I now cannot find my files stored on my internal sd card. Somebody please help me.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I dont get it i see all my files...should just restore your backup if having problems?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Okay to revert back to the original settings all you have to do is reflash your original ROM.
This mod is very useful but, I need to be able to access my internal SD card.

Thanks for this find i think this will help some people with trying to sync music playlists from PC to external. Hopefully someone in our community smarter than myself can get it to work with internal as well. Great start for now though.

Hey everyone! Just got a new 32gb micro sd card and I was trying to get this working on my phone. Flashing the zip works without a hitch, but obviously I lose access to my internal memory. That's not cool with me so I tried flashing the removal zip but it aborts for some reason. I tried with signature verification on and off but I get the same result. If anyone has made further headway into this mod, I would love to hear about it.

Barclays Pingit

Hi,
I've been searching around for a few weeks now, looking for a solution to run Pingit on my rooted device. Stumbled across this this evening, and followed the steps to change the root access of my phone.
This still doesn't enable me to even download the app from the Play Store, however.
I'm running Slim ICS 3.5, and I'm wondering if the app is not yet compatible with Android 4.0.4? I've look all over the place for the APK file to give it a go manually, but to no avail.
If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I can get it to display in the market, but download does not work. It says not available for your country. I am from India.
It says you need a UK mobile number.

Thank for trying anyway.
I can find it in my previously installed apps list, but it won't let me download it with this ROM, citing that it's incompatible with my device. This goes for apps like Sky Go, too. It's almost as though the Play Store doesn't recognise my phone as an SGS2!
I've tried downloading the .apk file with the APK Downloader extension for Google Chrome, but I get a '403 -forbidden' error. Only on this one app, mind you.
If anyone has the app already and can extract it for me, I might be able to install it manually and hide root to use it?

Flash Siyah kernel and install ExTweaks of the Play store, with ExTweaks you can remove root and Pingit works fine!

Just tried this. It removes root fine, but my Play Store still doesn't allow me to even download Pingit, let alone use it.

Cheers mate! Much appreciated!
Tried renaming it from .zip to .apk, but the install fails. Then re-read your post and realised that it's just the data, not the app itself. I'm an absolute noob, so don't really have any suggestions on how to extract the apk file, but someone else might?

Sorry mate, I know what it was.....
...I was dual booting a Sammy ROM with Siyah!?!
When I look on the Play store I don't have the same message but if I try to install from Slim I get a 942 error?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aah okay. I've not even begun to think about dual-booting.
I did, however, flash the stock Samsung ICS ROM and installed Pingit. Backed it up with CWM so that it would make a backup of the app. Then I restored Slim and Siyah so I was back to where I started.
Tried to restore the app with Titanium Backup. It says that it's been successful, but there's no sign of the app in the drawer or any data at all.

Would have been easier to just back it up with TB then restore, I've never tried extracting from a nandroid? I know it's possible, I just haven't tried.
I've managed to restore Pingit from TB onto Slim ICS 3.6 but haven't tested it because when you uninstall it you loose data and have to phone the Pingit helpline to get your account reset, will test tomorrow.
I can't extract the apk because it's a private app for security reasons, my knowledge of apk's is limited.
Titanium is your only hope or Siyah dual boot!

[Modem/Baseband] TMO GS3 UVLH2 Flashable Radio

ONLY FLASH IF YOU HAVE T-MOBILE
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!​
Disclaimer:
Flashing radios is among the most dangerous thing we can do to our devices. If you flash any of these on your AT&T, Sprint, Wind etc., you're very likely to brick your phone. While I have tested this file, you flash at your own risk. Again, this is T-Mobile only.
Flash this file from CWM recovery:
TMOGalaxyS3UVLH2Modem.zip
Mirror - TMOGalaxyS3UVLH2Modem.zip - 19.57 MB
This flash does backup your original modem.bin
Flash this file from CWM recovery:
TMOGalaxyS3RestoreModem.zip - 418.93 KB
***Note: Though it doesn't have to be at the root of the card, this zip should be placed somewhere on your internal SD card (aka /sdcard) as well otherwise it may not see the modem.backup file.***
If everything works, you'll see a progress bar during the flashing process. Don't see a progress bar? Then the radio hasn't been flashed.
If you flashed the TMOGalaxyS3UVLG1Modem.zip twice and lost the original backup modem here it is...
Download and move to /data/media overwrite existing. The change permissions to rw-rw-rw
Now flash the TMOGalaxyS3RestoreModem.zip to return to the original modem.

thanks so much for the great upload.
I flashed this successfully. working well.
i just did not do a speed test on the previous radio (ULVG1) and was wondering if this is a major update?
im also throttled at 5gb right now and my speed sucks........

downloading now!! awesome thank you!
is flashing this the same as if we would have done the OTA update? i remember the ota update being around 93 mb, and this is only 19ish mb?

Previous radio was twice as fast in the speed test compared to this one.

[MOD][CWM][SCRIPT]Reodex your ROM and be faster

This CWM script will reodex any Samsung stock-based ROM - any custom ROM that is.
Additionally, with BOOTCLASSPATH edit in dexo.sh it can work on any ROM and phone.
Reodexing gives some people perceivable speed up. And it frees data partition from system dalvik cache. So dalvik-cache rebuild is also accelerated.
I ran it with stock kernel (root injected). And had problems with running it on any custom kernel.
http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/1RIUERDW/universalOdex2.zip_links
Also a good example of output from shell script into CWM console.

I'm not sure why you'd need deodex on the fly.
Wanam has a good guide on deodexing stock ROMs.
Odexing is on the other hand is relatively new and fancy way of speeding up.

thank you. my sgs3 is flying high!

Are the links just updated or is the script also i see a 2 at the end?

Mount part of the script updated. Now system is properly mounted.
On a side note - CM9 with Theme Manager and applied themes reverts odexing back. Figures. Pick your poison - odexing or theming.

Will this work with miui??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Update bootclasspath and try.
If there is Theme Manager - then odexing won't work.

Backup. Update bootclasspath and try. It should work on any stock based ROM.

i checked out the /system/app/ - still no *.odex files?
i already changed the $BOOTCLASSPATH

So how do i install this?

clockwork mod...1970?

anyone know a workaround for this? the bad thign about it is I often will flash multiple roms/have different backups and forget which one is which...which is the most recent etc. Why does it date as 1970 even though my clock and everything is fine? Would manually setting the clock (vs from the network) resolve this issue?

I started using rom manager to initiate backups. The date comes out correct if you do that.

I haven't been able to find a version of CWM that doesn't do this for this phone. All I've been doing is just renaming the backup once it's complete, usually just to something like CM10_BACKUP_NOV16 or STOCK_BACKUP_NOV16. Can be renamed from your phone's file manager.

As he said, you must initiate the backup in ROM Manager in order to have the correct date, or a custom name for your backup.

There is a tool somewhere which will regenerate the MD5 sum after you rename the folder. Maybe someone else, or a search, could point you in the right direction.
It might have been Rom Toolbox in the market by JRummy

I was using twrp 2.2 for a while and some roms had problems flashing, especially ones with graphical installers like Ariel. I updated to the latest clockwork mod recovery and things have been fine ever since. twrp updated since then so the issues might be resolved but I haven't seen any reason to switch back. I am a linux admin don't need a touch based interface on my recovery environment.

This is BETTER than a workaround:
Online Nandroid Backup
WHY?
- dates are correct
- no need to boot into recovery mode to perform backup
- fast and organized, and easy to rename backups
- it's under good steady development for new FEATURES.
- auto updating of script
(There is a script and a gui dev...make sure to thank them both)
(You don't need CWM to create backup, but you do need CWM to restore)

Date issue comes from device issue
According to the TWRP2 page for the AT&T GS3,
Date/time in recovery will always be wrong due to a device issue that cannot be fixed.

I assume that this is what is effecting my CWM backup names. Sounds like some to just live with and workaround....
