funny, i installed KJ5 without Kies...

hmm, how is HTC Incredible S better than W? W has faster CPU and bigger battery.

Fair enough!

precisely, if u r "game4life" which phone will u choose?

<--- just trolling...

shadow gun can run on sgw, can it run on HTC desire? :>

interesting. could it be SGNote dont have /sdcard ? everything stored on the phone 16GB storage?

What I mean is may be there is no internal sd, so app will install in phone memory.

in sgw, internal storage divided into phone and internal sd that mount as /sdcard

Some app will automatically install data into /sdcard if exist.

solved by mount bind in my previous post. I can now map any folder in /sdcard into external sd. App won't know the difference since it similar to soft link.

Not Android problem. Not all Samsung phone too. Ace don't have this problem since there is no internal storage. Afaik, s2,s and w has this issue. Samsung should just use all as internal storage like what most vendor do.

But there are more than one solution to this issue..you can:
1) patch the game (no need root)
2) swap mount point between /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd (need root)
3) format internal sd as ext4 and use soft link
4) use mount bind (need root)
Etc......

you dont need app such as Android Injector, it's useless, at least for us. you can enable installation of APK from "unknown source" in the setting.

depend on the app and game. but most of them require u to unzip it first.

if gameloft, always in

/sdcard/gameloft

if ShadowGun, it's in /sdcard/Android/

ya, unzip first, the put into

/sdcard/android/data/

then, u should see in that folder has a folder with this name (among others):

com.galapagossoft.trialx2_gl2

no need root to see /sdcard

u go App, My files, can see already

/sdcard/Android/data is under your "phone memory". you see, the internal storage of the SGW divided into 2:

1) Phone memory
2) Internal SD (also known as USB) that mount into folder /sdcard

When you plug in an external SD, it will be mount into: /sdcard/external_sd

if after unzip you get "com.galapagossoft.trialx2_gl2", u just cut this folder, and put into

/sdcard/Android/data

If not mistaken, some SGS+ using RFS file system that causes lag as experienced by many owners.

SGW has same spec (but smaller screen which I like), but using EXT4 file system, no longer has lag issue.

Ohh... thanks for the correction...

But SGS+ is not Amoled but Super LCD right?

USB storage = internal storage = internal sd, they are in a confusing name "/sdcard"

External SD in using an even more confusing name "/sdcard/external_sd"

To install Internal Legacy, u can either free up space (u have total 1.7gb) or do 1 of the following:

1) patch the game (no need root)
2) sawp mount point between /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd (need root)
3) format internal sd as ext4 and use soft link
4) use mount bind (need root)
Etc......

SGW has 512MB RAM, once you boot up the phone, a RamDisk will be created and filled with critical OS files in the root folder (/). Leaving only 351MB for used.

Then, Android OS and other components will be loaded into the memory. This is what taking the 170MB RAM.

Browsers in desktop have been designed to use memory lavishly, on the other hand, Android app are more concern about memory. But need not worry if browser is taking too much RAM since all modern OS has Virtual memory concept. That mean, if not enough RAM, part of the storage can be used as RAM, but it will slow down tremendously of cause.

Do not worry if your RAM usage is high, that mean Android is caching your favourite App. Unused app will be suspended and if continue to be unused, will be map to a file if there is a new App require more RAM.

1) Soft link is a common technique in Unix that allow you to create a file or folder that is empty but point to another file. For example, u can create a softlink like this:



This will create an empty folder "/sdcard/gameloft" that automatically point to the actual file contents in " /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft"

That is done via OS level, so all App will be able to see as if all data is inside "/sdcard/gameloft"

2) To patch a game, you need to Decompile the APK using APKTool and dex2jar (google). Most of the time, after u decompile it, simply do a string search for the path such as "NaviSEA" and hex edit it.

An easier alternative is to google for someone that already do that for you. Google "Gameloft sd card patch"

my laptop is my wife... my SGW is my mistress .... so, u say who is more sexy, fun and exciting?

but i go back sleep with my wife every night
