Order and chaos - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Has anyone been able to play this on our model? Are there any methods to get it to work. The game seems to work for the i9100.

use root explorer
navigate to /system
press "Mount r/w" button at top, should now say "Mount r/o"
long-press build.prop, choose "Copy"
press "Paste" at bottom. Creates build-copy.prop.
long press build.prop again, choose "open in text editor"
look for "ro.product.model=SGH-I777" and replace the I777 part with I9100
press "Mount r/o" button at top, should now say "Mount r/w"
reboot
hope this helps

everytime i try to change the 777 to 9100, and save it , it keeps reverting back to 777 and doesn say 9100 when i look at it in the text editor again.. am i doing something wrong?

Are you using root explorer? Is build.prop the only file that does this? Can you edit your backup?
I saw another person had issues like this on an sgs2 and root browser worked for them.
I think root browser is available on xda but I've never tried it.

its not saving it in the backup file either on root explorer or root browser either. i'll edit it, then save the file and then try to reopen to check if it changed, and it goes back to i777. am i doing something wrong?

Are you hitting menu save changes? I've never ran across that problem before.
If its in r/w mode and you're hitting save changes, I'm at a loss.

ya, no matter what i used, it would never save it on the phone, so i just edited through my computer and dropboxed the edited version in, and rebooted and now it shows my phone as a i9100.
one problem though, it now tells me that i have an invalid license with swype and i cant use it anymore? anyone know what to do with that?

If you change back to i777 the game will tell you it's not supported and to request a refund when you launch it.

It works for me on miui. I haven't tried it on illusion (what I'm on now).

I cannot get this game on my phone. I had the same problem as others where u would edit the build.prop and it would switch back after a save. So I used other methods like propeditor.apk or doing it the dropbox way. Both after reboot showed the i9100 but the game still doesn't show up in the marketplace. Any suggestions?

Screen Density (Resolution)

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section...
To change your screen density (resolution)
1. Download ES File Explorer from the market.
2. Open ES, hit the menu key.
3. Enable root explorer.
4. Mount /system as writable.
5. Go to phone root folder, then /system.
6. Open "build.prop" in ES File Editor.
7. Scroll to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240".
8. Change to your liking (lower numbers equal higher resolution, vice versa. I find 190 to be a sweet spot, looks amazing on this screen.).
If you find this useful, please thank.

I've only found that pandoras buttons ate a little small. What's cool is that whille the predictions are smaller on top of the keyboard (which shows more predictions ), the keys adjust to stay the same exact size. Man, android is freaking amazing...

With a different launcher you can put icons 5 wide and 7 tall, it sweet...

i tried it, i dont know if using an older version made it incompatible with the 3vo but i always had force closes with it and if it would work it would never boot, the screen would remain black and this is resizing to 200
Thanks @ 290 I like letters that resemble the EVO 4G. I had enough miniature text with the Hero !
Sorry about that mrdiaz. Pwn, your link is dead. And as for the dialer keys being small, I'll see if i can't find a dev to look at the sense "dialer.apk"?

Just try dialer one. It will do the job.
It's a lot of work to change the resources of the dialer apk
Made my shut down animation funky. Lol.
Honestly, I'm just getting into deving on android, and I like it. I'll take a whack at the dialer apk, but I can't promise anything (for now).

How to push apk file?

I downloaded a live wallpaper and it was said to "push it". How do you do this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Easiest way is to use your file explorer and put it in /system/app, set your permissions and reboot.
In the way you are talking about, "push" is a general term. There is another way that uses ADB and pushes the apk to system or another partition. But for this, just do the above.

OK I moved it to system/app, I am using root explorer, I am not understand how to set permissions. It lists 3 choices.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Longpress the apk and a menu will pop up. Hit Permissions (make sure you are r/w in top right corner of Root Explorer).
Permissions are
First column - all checked.
Second column- only the top is checked
Third column - None are checked
Should look like an upside down L

[Solved[ Renaming photos/videos?

Is there an option to rename the photo/video once captured?
Open gallery and any;
Tap photo > phone menu > rename
Tap on video > tap again (do it's full screen) > phone menu > renameVideo
You can also use any file explorer to rename any file as well. Just Babita navigate to the file (sdcard/DCIM for camera photos and videos), long tap and you will have a list of options, including rename.

What gallery app is that?? The GS3 Gallery app should have icons next to the selections and all of the selections that are in the post above yours. And did you try scrolling down the list?
Just the standard gallery app.
I am using the CM ZOOM rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273).. if that changes anything

Instructions posted twice previously. And the OP didn't bother to try...... or answer
Maybe try another gallery app from the market? Plenty to choose from, probably better than stock.

Not of your renaming multiple files in the same session
The thread title or OP did not state it must rename with gallery.... (do I gave two options).
So if you must use a "gallery" app exclusively to rename, using a different gallery app to what you have, then your problem will be solved
Please let's us know if it works ok, and then rename thread to [solved]. Cheers

I think he's referring to putting it on the home screen of his GS3....correct?
Yeah
this may or may not work. Also there may be an easier way. I downloaded Astro file manager from Google Store (free app)
Went to home screen, long press and select Short Cuts (I use Nova launcher)
Then selected Astro from the menu
Astro should open and you should be able to browse to the file you want. I didnt have an excel or document to use. I just tested it with a ringtone and it added the ringtone to home screen

I rooted my kfhd yesterday. And I'm loving it, only thing so far is the kindle app for reading my books is restricted in the smallest don't size.
I used to be able to make it smaller than it is now.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE
But bricking is not likely if you do this right. :good:
Get ES File Explorer from the play store and install.
Open the settings menu and scroll down to the "root settings" (near the bottom of the menu).
Open root settings and make sure to check all the options (grant su permissions when prompted).
Then, back out of settings menu and navigate to root (by clicking the "file up" button).
Open the system file and find build.prop file.
Open the build.prop file with ES Note Editor. (should be an option for ES Note Editor when you click on it)
VERY CAREFULLY SCROLL DOWN until you see ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx.
Where I put xxx, you will see a number like 240 or whatever the stock dpi is.
Now, click just after the line and delete the number (only the number, nothing else) and now enter a number that you want. (try 210). The smaller the number, the more "zoomed out" your screen will look. Stay within 150-300 though just to be safe.
BE CERTAIN THAT YOU DID NOT EDIT ANYTHING ELSE!!!
Back out and save when prompted.
Reboot. And see if you like it. The same process will change it back or to another size. Staying within 150-300 though just to be safe.
IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES.
If you brick your phone, help can be found in my signature.
Good Luck.
