Hi Community,
I found a little solution for the apparently problem, that the Galaxy S is not saving setting of apps.
First of all, you should have a rooted phone and a file explorer with root access!
Then go to "/dbdata/databases/" and delete the folder from the app which makes you problems. They are sometimes hard to find, but it is worth to find and delete it.
That's it
Have fun, berkley

Probably a newbie question. How do I prevent ads from games/apps showing up. It can get quite annoying.

Can I do it without rooting?
You can temp-root and run it.

You'll still need root to put the hosts file in the appropriate folder, though...

Or you could just leave that "annoyance" and each time you get annoyed, remember that this is the reason you're getting stuff FOR FREE, and this is your way to support the developers. And if you don't like the ads - PAY.

I just downloaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026
I'm trying to change the DPI back to 240. The guide seems easy enough; use a text editor and change the value in the file.
However the problem is that I can't seem to save the changes I have made. Read Only?
I'm new to these things so I'm problem doing something fundamentally stupid. The rom is already rooted I think.
BTW in b4 "lolololoool use search tool on forum". I already have, but my android lingo isn't good so I'm probably searching for the wrong thing.
Using "File Manager" and "Text Edit" apps to find and edit the file respectively.
Thanks

ES File Explorer (free) will let you mount system directories, you have to enable it in settings.
I just finished rooting and installed root explorer and was wondering if there is any unneeded extras I can remove?

I wouldn´t remove apps just rename then. Cause Acer looks for the apps when you want to update. Then you get massive problems - just have a look to a lot of topics here...
use search please
I would listen to corn3d79, don't erase the apps. Read around the forums

youre almost better off using PM (android package manager) in a terminal or adb shell to disable or freeze the apps you dont want. you can also do this in apps like titanium backup.
this way, you're not renaming files and later forgetting to name them back to the original files, and it'll keep your 'frozen' settings after updates.

There's advantages to freezing/disabling apps using Titanium Backup or Package Manager (built into Android system). The first one is that its built-in function and you do not have to alter filenames and have to remember to rename them back later. Secondly, I don't think it affects what apps show up in the market place. Some apps require special permissions from certain things like PHONE or CAMERA, etc. If you disable it, I believe it won't affect the marketplace, however if you rename the file, the system doesnt think its there period and will think your tablet is incompatible with the apps.
note: this really only applies to people who are renaming phone.apk, etc.
hi guys! Im new on the forum
Ok, i rooted my galaxy tab 8.9. Then i tried decrapfying my tab, including some system apps: talkback, talk, email, exchange services and ap and stock widgets.
Everything seemed has gone smooth, except now, the Social hub cashes!! seems like it tries to access email database. Can you guys help me and send me the email.apk and email.odex files please? I think the files from both 10.1 or 8.9 work as well.
I also hope that noone after me will delete email.apk as well Cheers!

lol you deleted email.apk? nice
Are you rooted? Did you make a nandroid backup?
NEVER delete any system apps, just freeze them with Titanium Backup, a much faster and easier to recover option.
Are you not able to re-flash it?

It's all down to individual needs - I always delete the Samsung Apps app, never bother backing it up because I will never want or need to use it.

As far as i know, there is no ROM or firmware for galaxy 8.9 available yet, so i cant reflash now.
I also received from a friendly forums member the email.apk file, but i couldnt install the app (in the files manager i clicked on the apk and selected install but it ended with a "installation failed" message).
Is there any experienced member who can help me?
Just use root explorer to move it into your system/app folder
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
no, i have tried it, it doesnt help, since it's not installation.
Do a full wipe and start over I guess...and dont forget to do a nandroid backup this time
but how can i do a full wipe since theres no ROM available for 8.9 yet? Or im i missing something?
Best I can do is a copy of the email.apk off my 10.1, good luck with your Tab.

yeah put it into system app then try to install it.
If not, you can try opening stock recovery and wiping through that.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! IT WORKS! with all your help, literally. I used a version from 10.1 (a version from 8.9 didnt work) put it to system/app and then in root explorer selected install...

This is exactly why I got a 10.1 instead of 8.9.... I was afraid I'd botch something before help was readily available. Great to see things went well anyway thanks to the folks here.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for the default_gain.conf file on my Samsung S4.
I have Root Explorer and I seen everywhere online where the file is in system/etc but I don't have it there. Mine isn't there.
I wish to make the headphone volume on my Galaxy S4 louder but can't find the file to update it.
My phone isn't rooted but I haven't seen anywhere that it has to be rooted before you can find/access the file.
Any help at all?
Thanks
Try es file explorer because i can see default_gain.conf in my system/etc and mine is also not rooted.
But u will need root to change the config i think..

Is Your S4 9500 model or 9505?.....
This mod is only for I9500. expected 4.4 didn't change the file name or location.
AND no way to modify the values without rooting first.
(That's why I stay with 4.3 and Perseus' Synapse to set my loudspeaker output= )
