hello
i just bought this phone a couple hours ago
tell me did i mess up? i can't find any roms, kernels, or recoveries for this phone.
i've spent the last couple hours searching for any info and haven't found even a little.
i have it rooted with superoneclick, i can't adb push any files though, like the UOT kitchen files.
any help would be greatly appreciated
This phone!
Its not bad a phone but its just sluggish and yeah i have been trying to find ROMS and BUILDS for this phone. Someone make something please:
well i found a forum for this phone model, not much info available yet, except confirmed rooting...
http://androidforums.com/samsung-gravity-smart/
Awe man well at least im hoping there is someone who has this device and is willing to make a rom!
Not a bad phone but it needs to be cleaned up badly.
Over clocking it does help it a lot.
I have just rooted my gravity smart, but still can't uninstall telenav and others...did I do something wrong? I watched the video, and followed the steps, it was VERY easy, install, click root, pretty much. Still need to get rid of all the junk apps...
Hi Guys i just wanted to be part of this thread for updates. My lil sister has one of these and I wanted to get more info. Ill be on the look out as well and keep you guys posted.
emailed koush asking to port CWM recovery for us

did it install superuser and busybox?
does titanium backup ask for superuser permissions?
careful what u uninstall
i removed a few apps that i shouldnt have
I would love some development on this phone.. hopefully someone cares enough. I've rooted with Super One Click, but now trying to overclock.. any thoughts? Can't use SetCPU or others..

until we get a different kernel developed, we can't overclock the cpu.
the stock kernel doesn't have support for overclocking.
at least from what i'm understanding anyway.
we can raise the floor but not the roof.
yes the superuser and other box thing got installed, and I saw the super user, but when I run it there is no apps in it...do you use the other one to uninstall things?
Yes BusyBox both got installed.

from what i'm interpreting...
superuser is the administrator or babysitter
busybox is the interpreter or the middle man
to unistall programs, such as system apps, which i wouldnt do until we have a ROM or RECOVERY available, i use titanium backup.
note that when u back up a system app, it only backs up the information file, not the app itself...
so if u uninstall it and want it back, youre screwed basically.. probably not completely, but pretty much. i learned this the hard way.
now, if you backup a user app, it saves the app itself.. unlike system apps.
just use titanium backup and "FREEZE" the system apps you don't want, for now.
please don't uninstall them.
infact, if anyone could get me a copy of the 3d gallery and music app that comes with this phone, i'd be much appreciated.
i hope this helps you.
i've asked around for some help porting a recovery, no replies yet
Recovery
Any responses yet? :l
Im actually happy you are doing something about this
Much oblige
Freeze First..
I used Titanium backup pro to freeze unwanted files first and let that be for a day or so after a couple of reboots. Then I uninstalled what was not needed. Baby steps here is my best recommendation since the first time I did this I bricked my phone. I also had an email into Kousch but to no avail.

unrooting?
I'm kind of a noob at this but can I unroot this device so I won't void the warranty?
Also. Anyone have all the apks of all the apps this phone came with?
I would greatly appreciate it!
i wish i had dumped the system folder before i started uninstalling apps myself...
maybe someone who hasnt uninstalled anything yet would post a link to a dump of the /system/app/ folder with the apks for us...
if someone was willing to do this for us, i'd recommend a factory reset prior to dumping the files
Hey guys! I got this phone as a warranty replacement for my Cliq (WORST PHONE EVER). I was excited at first cause it worked much faster and came w/ 2.2. But now it seems like this is the develpment communities step child! Where are all the devs???? Anyway, I'm a totall beginner when it comes to Android development. I have not yet rooted, and would be happy to provide you guys with anything if it means bringing some life to the development of this phone. Let me know what I can do!
P.s. I would be happy to provide a system dump, just need instruction on how to do so.
hey comoc85
welcome to the stepchild thread, lol
easy to root this phone with superoneclick
here is a link to the Samsung Kies Program that has the usb drivers bundled for our phone for rooting, etc.
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=US&CttFileID=4132035&CDCt[/url] tType=SW&ModelType=C&ModelName=SGH-T589HBBTMB&VPath=SW/201106/20110625042859732/TMO_T589_Kies_20.exe
here is a link for a youtube video for rooting our phone as well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMg5LfPW5m4&feature=player_embedded
are you familiar with using adb commands?
if so, easy to grab all the system apps for us or yourself for later
just by entering "adb pull /system/app/" and it will dump your system apps
probably zip them for uploading, be sure to factory reset prior to dumping so that your information isnt included.
remember, don't unistall any system apps once rooted till we get a developer to make a rom for us. some people have bricked this phone doing that. also note this is a "touchwiz" phone and do not remove and apps named "TW....." or it will cause errors..
titanium backup does not backup system apps, i found out after i unistalled them... it acts like it does but only backs up the data, not the app itself...
it would be wise, even for yourself, to dump your /system/app/ folder to your computer incase you need to replace a app you borked somehow... our firmware isnt available on samusngs website yet, or samfirmware.com
i wish i had known to dump my /system/app/ folder prior to uninstalling a few things... but my phone still works... anyway, found some build.prop edits that work on our phone for a lil tweaking..
hopefully someone will pick up development on this phone..
i dont understand how to cook a rom or i'd attempt it, and without a recovery to make a backup, i surely don't want to attempt it..
have a great day
oh to dump your system/apps/ folder you have to be rooted and have sdk + java installed on your computer..
if you're into changing roms etc, you'll need to learn this stuff anyway.
here's a link to a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
here's a couple more useful links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
ive done factory reset several times while being rooted and not lost root or had any problems... this is due to having the stock recovery...
dont ever do a factory reset while using a custom recovery... brick brick brick..
like i said though, factory reset while under stock recovery while rooted is fine.
oh i had problems with the newest superoneclick version and tried version 1.9.5 without any hangups or problems.. just fyi
So I just installed Cognition X2 that comes with the Program Monitor apk uninstalled. I got the apk for it, but AppInstaller is not installing in on my phone.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I get it installed?
If you have Titanium and did a back up before you flashed the new ROM, you might be able to restore it through Titanium, it has worked for me with apps on my tablet.

I tried doing that but titanium kept on being stuck at restoring over and over.
I believe titanium only backup settings not the .apks itself?
I'm quite fond of the samsung accuweather & programing monitor widget also.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yep, when I try titanium backup it starts the restore process but never finishes it.

I saw that yesterday, but root explorer is a $$$ app. I was hoping for a free solution. Would Droid Explorer work??
any sort of explorer, that allows you to set permissions should do the trick
Got Root Explorer, it worked!

manually push it to /system/app with adb or put it on the sdcard and copy it over with a file manager.

nvm, i see you did that already

I see you went ahead and purchased root explorer. I've had root explorer since I first got my captivate, and it's an awsome and useful app. But for anyone who wants a free root file manager, there is one included in the free version of Super Manager by Gpc, which you can download in the market.
Hi everyone,
Ever since I use a self modded systemui.apk from an already modded apk, I am getting the android updating popup every time I restart the phone.
I see this message before, that is when I do the rooting stuff but it only shows up during the first boot.
Is that normal?
Besides that message, everything seems to work well.
Thanks

Which file should I remove?
I googled around and found several post about it.
Some say about removing titanium backup odex from data/app folder (or generally other odex files), reinstall titanium backup, clear dalvik cache and another one is deleting com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar from framework folder
I done all of those with the exception of titanium backup odex as I don't have those. I did reinstall titanium backup though and that jar file I didn't remove it using adb but simply delete it.
None fix it lol.

If anyone Owns the dopo td-1010 and still has all stock system apps there is a very easy way that you could really help me out! all you would have to do is install titanium backup and make a back up of every single app in the list (besides things you have installed) and then upload the backups somewhere for me . you can get titanium back up here: http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/86267062/file.html . you have to have the device rooted in order to use it. you can root the dopo td-1010 with this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/ ( works perfectly on this device, i have done it myself) PLEASE if there is anyone out there that can help me with this PLEASE get back to me as soon as possible.
You scrath my back, and I'll scratch yours
I have the TD-1010, I can and am will to help you out here, but I am running into a problem you seem to have already figured out.
I was googling the Internets for drivers to TD-1010 for Windows, for the same program/script/batch file you were recommending for rooting the TD-1010. I need to get said drivers before I am able to root the TD-1010 and backup redistribute said OS to you my good sir. At current the script can't find the device without the drivers. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon so I can do you a favor in return.
PS do you have the problem with it randomly freezing, or is that just me...?

THank you so mucjh for the reply. I havnt had any issues with this device that i didnt create myself. lol. even now i have not seen any random freezing... ive seen it maybe hang for about 3-5 seconds when loading large apps, is that what you mean , or is it actually freezing right up and needing a reset?
PS: , its been a while since i rooted it and cant seem to find the drivers i used, i am searching now, will post a link as soon as i find them.

I almost forgot. Another thing i did was wipe out the dalvik cache and i think i may have lost something there. if you could go into data/dalvik-cache and make a copy of that whole folder for me would be a huge help as well. thanks again!

I have never used titanium backup before, i thought that it would work, but it does not appear to actually back the applications up, just the settings and configurations for them or something. unfortunately, That will not help me fix this. it looks like the only way to do it is to use this app: http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/78017991/file.html . it is called "root uninstaller pro". i didnt want to ask someone to use this if i didnt have to because it is how i messed mine up, but if you make sure not to delete anything while your in there and just back everything up it will not harm your device at all. im a dumbass and started removing stuff i didnt really know what it was and then i lost my back up so i could not reinstall. thank you again for all the time you have taken on this already. would you be willing to use the root uninstaller program to make proper backups that will work for me?

So I looked up info on both backup programs, and they are both equivalent to using the add/remove OR uninstall feature of windows. I used Nandroid for the full images you already should have the link to my drop box. Since this is a full copy of my system I do require you not distribute it and remove any of my account settings you may find. Feel free to keep any of the apps I have already installed (they were all free anyways). Good luck

Can someone please upload a rom dump nand dump of the image's it can be easily dumped with rkflash on Linux. I did a full nand backup as a test but I currently am not running the stock image it is a protab 30 firmware but the screen resolution is off, Im about to RMA it, when I get it back in a week or so I will make a dump of the various .img's like kernel.img, system.img,
Drivers
IMaybe a little help? I have been following your post and cannot seem to get the drivers to install. I have tried on both w7 and xp. Both computers see it in usb mode but once switched to usb debugging and directed to the driver file you posted it gives me the error the error message incorrect drivers. Any suggestioned would be greatly appericated.
Titanium back up creates compressed file with apk.gz extension. That is where the app is and you can use 7zip or your favorite util to get tin the install file which will have a .apk extension. Once you do that you can install the app. Copy the app to SD or via cloud drive like dropbox and install.
I just rooted my Sprint Note 3 using Kingo and wanted to restore my Need for Speed Most Wanted data using Titanium Backup. I have version 6.1.5.2 so. Well...the game just force closes. I'm think this problem was resolved after a certain version already. The phone is rooted only on stock MJ4. I tried using the restorecon command in a terminal anyways and have removed and reinstalled several times in trying to get it going. Any thoughts???

I also have this problem on my note3 kk 4.4.2 and did not found solution
I just had a thought. Now that im on 4.4 NAB & running into restore issues there. I was able to restore dungeon Hunter 4 but had to use helium to do it. Helium only had the data. So I installed it then used helium to restore its data and it worked. I figure can try that with need 4 speed.
Sucks cause I never backed nfs with helium. Although I may try to restore it in an emulator then back it up with helium then try to restore on my phone.

I restored my game on a galaxy mega 6.3 and it worked of course being rooted and older version of android. I then backed that up with helium onto the SDcard.
Moved that back to my phone then tried to restore it. Still a no go. I tried it again but restoring data after starting the game normally like I did with Dungeon hunter 4. Still a no go. So idk....There is something different about nfs. Not sure...

I had the same issue of FC with my Helium backup of NFS.
The solution was to restore the backup and then copy out the file 'nfstr_save.sb' from /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_row/files/var/. Then remove the app completely, reinstall cleanly and put only that file back again. (root required)
Really? Hmmm I will try that

Having the same issue anyone solved it as yet?
So far no doing the last suggestion only causes the game for me to pop an error of an invalid save data. Due to this I have since stopped playing the game. I been playing Summoner ' war. A bit addicted to it. If anyone decides to play it let me know I'm Snyperninja in the game. I'll add you if u Need friends in the game. Play it you'll see what I mean.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I too just had this issue. I was surprised the titanium restore prevented the app starting.
Anyway, I tried to copy the save game file from my titanium backup right into the proper location, force closed the game and opened it and everything came back. I didn't have to uninstall the app at all.
I know it's an old thread and everyone has probably moved on but my searching brought me here and the advice helped me fix it, so I'm leaving this note here for anyone else who might stumble across this thread.

Really??? You may have gotten lucky cause I think I tried that before. At what point did you copy the save game data? in my case doing so just made the game get a data error and it would kick the data and start fresh anyways.

This is the what happened:
Backed up in Ti
Flashed, wiped, restored
Game Exited without loading
Found this thread
Cleared Data on the app (which also cleared all the additional files)
Game redownloaded the additional files
Started the game as if it were a new game
Signed into Origin
Extracted the saved game file from the .tar.gz and put it in the right location
Killed the game process and started it up again and my progress was restored.
Okay yes..... this works

I have tried everything with this F__kin backup system, and still cannot get my "progress file" loaded. It reinstalls, but I have to start from the beginning, which is soooo f---kin aggravating. I get access to my cars, when I do the Origin login, but I have to re-purchase them all over again. I know there are hack tools to get money and SPs, but I don't want to do that because I really enjoy the challenge. Could you please explain what you mean by "proper location." Where exactly did you place the titanium files, and which ones?

This worked like a charm! I'd almost banged my head against the wall as this would be the second time I'd have completed the entire game and lost the app data due to rom swap.
The steps I used was:
Restore the app...
Restore the data...
Cut out the file 'nfstr_save.sb' from /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_row/files/var/ and save in a different location...
Opened up NFSMW and play the first 2 compulsory rounds...
Login to Origin...
Exit the game...
Paste the file 'nfstr_save.sb' back in /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_row/files/var/
(the game would have already re-written another copy of the file by now which you must overwrite)
Fire up the game again and you have your exact game progress back!
If you found this useful, don't forget to hit thanks!
The instructions from user iam breeze worked for me! Thanks!
It's so simple, most ppl rooting devices can't figure out such easy ops like find and copy a file.
By the way, needed rights for save game file are read & write ofc - 600
