This fixes the browser lag in JI6 Froyo. Large web pages will load much quicker and scroll smoothly. Unfortunately, the browser will still use more memory than it should, but at least it will be fast.
Installation
Download libwebcore.so
Method 1 (Root Explorer)
1. Copy the downloaded libwebcore.so to your SD card.
2. Use the task manager to close any browsers and email clients you have open. This probably isn't necessary, but I did it just in case.
3. Copy /system/lib/libwebcore.so to your SD card as a backup in case you want to revert.
4. Copy the new libwebcore.so to /system/lib/
5. Set the permissions of the file to rw-r--r--
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Method 2 (ADB) thanks to Leandros_Ger
$ adb shell
$ su
# cd /sdcard
# mkdir BrowserFix
# exit
# adb push libwebcore.so /sdcard/BrowserFix
# adb shell
# su
# cd /sdcard/BrowserFix
# mkdir BackUp
# cp /system/lib/libwebcore.so /sdcard/BrowserFix/BackUp
# cp -f /sdcard/BrowserFix/libwebcore.so /system/lib
# chmod 644 /system/lib/libwebcore.so
# reboot
Update
Cognition 2.2 BETA 5 and newer include the fix.
Which webcore is this?
From a Galaxy Tab rom.
5. Set the permissions of the file to rw-r--r--
is this necessary? i was in the process of making update.zip and i chugged your file in

I suggest setting plug-ins to on demand so that Flash only loads when you click on a Flash banner/video/etc. That way Flash won't always slow down your browser.

In the process of going from Cognition to stock 2.2; tried to copy this over via RootExplorer, and I got the dreaded "not enough space" error. Ditto when trying to push via ADB. Any ideas peoples? Haha.
I'm thinking I probably should've setup the OCLF AFTER I was done moving the Jupiter GPS/build.prop/browser fixes via RootExplorer. Maybe that's causing the issues here.

Im new to forum but Ive been trolling for the past couple days. I currently rooted my Vibrant with One Click GalaxyRooter. Then purchased Root Explorer to view the hidden files and folders that I need to get to in order to remove some of the stock .apk and odex files.
Im currently in the /system/app directory and the first thing that I want to remove is that avatar icon and files. I long press the file in root explorer to delete it and it allows me to. Only problem is that when I go back or refresh the directory everything is still there even when I reboot my phone.
Any suggestion.

You don't access the file directory. Titanium Backup will show you a list of ALL apps installed. You simply click and press uninstall. Simple, no fuss. You can even make a backup before you uninstall it in case you need it later. Done.
Use Titanium Backup like everyone said, I also had the same problem with other Root Explorers. Also be sure to delete the .zip file because it might cause problems later. Also do you know what trolling means? I think you meant lurking, because trolling implies you've been trying to get people angry.
I didn't even notice he said he had been trolling LOL. Get back troll! My brain automatically assumed lurking.

I've been trying to get a custom hosts file to the phone but things aren't working out very well. Root explorer is saying that in /system/etc there's not enough free space to complete the operation. I've also tried with other file managers to no avail. I've tried adb push, shell cp and it says permission denied. I know I'm rooted. I looked in /system/etc and there isn't a stock hosts file, in fact a search says there isn't a hosts file in / and sub directories. I've tried su and sudo and it still gives me the finger. Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm doing everything the same way I've done it with my moment, evo, and epic with 2.1 and now it's not working. I thought that maybe there's a update needed for root explorer like was needed when the epic was first released except other file managers aren't working either. Argh

I would try running the rageagainstthemachine exploit and then immediately try to adb push to system- right after the exploit abd should run as root and you should not get the permission denied (after reboot abd will no longer run as root)
I opened up the run.bat and edited it. I added the push of the hosts file after the rage and root files and chmod it for good measure. Saved the bat then ran it. Permission denied. It's not letting me push the file into /system/etc in one click 2.5.2
damn

Is it possible that an updated exploit is needed? I tried and failed to run ryanza's z4root prog too. Some progs aren't showing up in the market either... I'm sure that's in a post somewhere else too
try doing it manually- that exploit should work- I'm assuming for protected apps to show in market u will have to wait till google officially recognizes this rom

Here's what I found out. The version tar I was using was the odin one. I flashed it on top of di18 with everything erased. For some reason there wasn't a hosts file. I got pissed off and clockworked the di18 I had then entered username and password then nandroided a restore point I had before upgrading. It worked fine as it did before. I ran sprint navigation to get the gps working. Then I dl the update 90 mb file that was hosted on google. I applied that in clockwork on top of everything without erasing everything. Then I had to one click and the pus of hosts failed again because it was a read only filesystem. Things didn't look right and it appeared the one click didn't take the first time. I suspect it was because I let the phone lock and turn off screen. Rebooted phone and one clicked again. This time it took. Looked in /system/etc and there was a hosts file. I don't know if it was stock or one lft over from di18. I tried again to copy modded hosts over on top of existing one with root explorer. It took this time. There must have been something wrong with the odin flash. Noobs clockwork modded update locked up my phone hard at the stock recovery screen. Anyways I'm going to give this a try and see what happens. Browsing in stock and dolphin seem much slower putting the page together and moving around. We will have to wait and see if someone runs a diff between this update and the one that comes with sprint and see what's up.

Its just an simple apk you can get rid of via root explorer or titanium backup or whatever.
In titanium its called FullBatPopupApp 1.0, I have removed it with no ill effects. The name of the apk in /system/app/ is FullbatPopup.apk
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
1. You need to have java installed for this. You will also need smali/baksmali
2. Open command prompt or linux terminal with your phone plugged in. Also navigate to or create a directory to perform the work in.
3. Once in your working directory, run:
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar
3a. If your system isn't de-odexed, you may need to pull an odex file as well
4. Take the smali/baksmali files you downloaded earlier and put them in the same directory that your services.jar file is in.
5. Run the following (assumes windows command prompt):
Code:
java -jar baksmali-<version>.jar services.jar
5a. If your system is not deodexed, you will likely need to deodex the system/services.jar for this to work.
6. Open the file required for the edit and make the needed changes.
7. Run the following (again, assuming windows command prompt):
Code:
java -jar smali-<version>.jar out -o classes.dex
8. Replace the classes.dex file within services.jar with the new classes.dex file
9. Push the file to /system/framework with adb, then reboot:
Code:
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb reboot
9a. You may need to remount the /system partition as rw to push the file.
10. On restart, the phone will take longer to boot, but assuming the changes were made properly you should be good.
I left out some information for the "a" steps on purpose. If you cannot do these steps yourself, or find how to do them, you likely shouldn't be doing this on your own. As always, backup your phone/data before trying this, and I am not responsible for any lost data, non-booting phones, or bricked devices. If you are unsure of what you are doing, then don't do it.

Man I hate that thing.
I posted instructions on how to do it. I'm not going to do the mod for everyone, so do it on your own, or ask the rom builder to include the change in the rom. There are to many roms and themes out there to try and accomplish this for every possible combination.
Hidden menu method would not work for me on dj05.
Changed it to disabled and it still pops up
I just went in with root explorer and mounted system/app as RW, renamed FullBattPopup.apk to FullBattPopup.apk.OLD and it did not get recreated after a reboot. I guess I'll have to wait till a full charge to see if it comes back.

Hey guys, need some help with this one from some of you with more android/linux experience than me.
In my continuing quest to make Blackhole as customizable as possible I've been working on a way for users to easily install paid apps (legally downloaded of course), and stuff that I don't have available in rom manager in one easy step at the same time the rom is installed. In pursuit of this goal I've found that it's possible for the update-script file inside a clockworkmod zip to call a script in the zip as well. I've gotten it to say it's run the script, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to. here's what i've got:
#! /bin/
busybox cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
When I type the command into a terminal on the phone it works. When I open an adb shell and type "bash install.sh" it works. But when I get the update.zip to run the script, or run it in root explorer it just says it's run it, but doesn't do anything.
Is there something I'm missing about how to call the script? Do I need to somehow add the bash program to the zip file so it can run the script right? Has anyone ever done something like this who can point me in the right direction?
do you have an output you can show us?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This is a shot in the dark but does writing to /system/app require root permissions? It could be that you've given your terminal app root, so it runs under su. But when the script is being executed it does not have root and fails, but perhaps the output is being held back a bit and you're not seeing the permission denied.
Steve_ ?!
whoa, didn't expect it to be you of all people
Anyhoo, this is a bit off topic, but I've got a small request, can you somehow make BlackHole 2.4 an option on Rom manager? I don't have DL09 so I can't use 3.0, but I really like the ability to select everything to customize, instead of me going and installing one thing at a time....
Why not just add the following to the end of the update-script:
Code:
copy_dir /sdcard/app SYSTEM:
Also, is the SDCard mounted by default when the phone boots to recovery? If it isn't, or it isn't mounted while the update is processing, that will also cause the problem.

sdcard is mounted when you go to recovery, because it's got to access the update.zip file on it to install anything. I'll try your code, do you know what to put after SYSTEM: to make it go to the /app directory? thanks for the idea, it's a different way to go, i didn't think about the fact the update-script could access the device if you don't use the "package" tag.
Don't you need to add "sh" to the bin directory and define the script as so:
#! /bin/sh
if you want it to execute properly..

One of the mentioned updates on the little graphic for the update was "Mobile Hotspot reliability has been improved" , so I'll be very surprised if the Home button trick still works
I'm very much looking forward to better Cellular reliability. With MJ7, I often can't make a call. No signal whatsoever. If I change to MI9, I have much better reception and reliability. Not great but much better. I'm hoping MJE will be great. Fingers crossed!

Even if VZW fixes Hot Spot, there is a Tether patch available that will allow the hot spot to bypass the subscription check. Runandhide05 made up a .zip yesterday for the N2 running 4.3 and it works flawless.
Does this zip work for non-root, or only rooted N3s?

I got it a few minutes ago. Too soon to tell if there are any improvements.
I took the ota with root survival mode checked on the Super su pro app and kept root just fine..I first unistalled xposed and modules, defrosted the bloat I had froze with titanium, checked ota survival mode with Super SU Pro (Paid Version) while keeping root enabled, Rebooted, took OTA and it works fine while maintaining root.....to early to notice any improvements but I have notice spell checker is enabled on the Samsung keyboard...+1!

One of the mentioned updates on the little graphic for the update was "Mobile Hotspot reliability has been improved" , so I'll be very surprised if the Home button trick still works

It will not work since the patch is tied into the frame work. Will need a dev to pull the update and apply the patch.
So I can enable keep root and safely update?

Modded it already, its been tested and confirmed working by open1your1eyes0. Download here
you have to rename it to framework-res.apk.
Edit: I assume you know you have to either flash this with a zip or copy it to /system first then change its permissions to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644) and then MOVE it to /system/framework and overwrite framework-res.apk (remember must rename N3-framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk prior to this step)
Simply copy and pasting will cause you to boot loop so instead move it to /system first and change the permissions then and only then move it to /system/framework/ and overwrite the original

Thanks for this. How would I modify my own file instead of copying yours?

Thanks for posting this, you kick ass! I have one question, I thought that KNOX worked in such a way that modifying anything in System could result in bad news for the KNOX fuse.. Just wanted to confirm, this didn't trip it on your device and shouldn't on mine?
Thanks again for posting this.
