Samsung Galaxy browser default storage not saved bug fix

a bug for many or all Samsung Galaxy products including S3, Note 2, Note 10.1, Tab 2, etc since Android 4.x. the problem is, default storage location in the stock browser cannot be saved or remembered. it is a known and frustrating bug since almost a year ago which exists in all roms i have studied. even if you have set the location to device, the next time the browser loads again (not by switching apps) or the phone is rebooted then the setting is gone

the fix below is based on Galaxy S3 I9300 XXEMB2 deodexed stock browser, without any other modification

only XXEMB2 is available at this moment (can be used with some other recent deodexed roms)



installation

- do a backup first
- zip format: extract all files to the system folder, set the permissions to 664 if needed (usually not), and reboot
- cwm format: download to your internal or external sdcard and run update zip from the recovery mode
- start the browser and select the default storage again to ensure it is updated

bb10 wave lock/unlock screen port for Galaxy S3 available

this is a ported BlackBerry bb10 lockscreen with wave effect for Samsung Galaxy S3 stock rom, based on I9300XXEMR2 Andriod 4.1.2 JB





special thanks to XDA member evilisto for his diff file, as well as other developers for sharing their experiences and useful tips



NOTE: this is a basic version with no custom features or options at the moment. an advanced version with custom options and "surprising new features" will be available later, if any, and if possible


A few words for rom makers and modders:
if you want to include this mod in your roms or mods, please kindly put a link to this post (http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2013/02/bb10-wave-lockunlock-screen-port-for.html), thank you



Basic BB10 Lockscreen

background
- not too many options or fine tunning in this basic version as it is a quick release as per request
- it is intended for normal users running stock rom, modders and rom makers


requirements
- Galaxy S3 I9300XXEMR2 DEODEXED STOCK ROM
- may work with other recent JB DEODEXED STOCK ROM, not tested


features
- able to choose between bb10 lockscreen, stock swipe lockscreen with or without ripple effect
- smoother and more realistic wave effect
- fewer screen flickering issues but expected
- starting poing is set to the bottom half of the screen, while ending point (trigger screen unlock) is set to somewhere near the top of the screen


limitations
- enabling bb10 lockscreen will unset and disable the ripple effect option due to compatibility problems which are not covered in basic version
- as to re-enable ripple effect option, disable bb10 lockscreen first
- this basic version is made for swipe and pattern lock only. it may be available with other lockscreens but not tested
- motion lock is excluded since to unlock the screen with swipe (swipe up to the top of the screen) and tilt at the same time is not a good choice
- lock screen rotation is not available in this basic version
- note that this is built from stock rom files, therefore no other mod like power option menu, etc are included
- i cannot perform all kind of tests for this mod so errors or force close may occur
- this mod is for stock rom XXEMR2, it may or may not cause problems if you use it for other roms


installation

fix Android memory full boot loop soft brick bug

IllegalStateException:
"Cannot broadcast before boot completed"
log:
"Running low on memory. Sending notification"

perhaps this is the most ridiculous bug that annoyed many Android users, especially normal users. if i were not able to find the root cause of this bug, i think i would have to reformat the whole device and start to pray. just can't believe it is still there in Android 4.1.2



what is this about?

during the boot process, the checkMemory function will be called to see if your memory (disk space) is full or nearly full. if this is the case, it will send a "Phone storage is full. Delete some files to free space." notification to the users telling them the device is running out of memory (space). thus, users will be alerted by this notification message which, supposedly, shown as a ticker in the status bar

but for some reasons, all notifications will be "checked" by the verifyBroadcastLocked function before sending to the users by showing a message in the status bar, for instance. the "checking mechanisms" include the status of the device, like whether the phone is booted up already. this is very straight forward since it will be pointness to show any notification if the phone is not booted up yet. these notifications will be dropped or should be queued up and will not be sent to the users until a proper time has come. in this case, screen is on or the home screen (desktop) is drawn could be regarded as a proper time



why is this happening?

if one boots up his device which the memory is neary full, then during the boot process the checkMemory function will send a notification to inform the user about this and logged as "Running low on memory. Sending notification". however, since the device is not booted up yet, the verifyBroadcastLocked function will not allow to send this notification for the reason that the boot process is not yet comlpete and throw an IllegalStateException "Cannot broadcast before boot completed"

when this fatal IllegalStateException is sent by verifyBroadcastLocked and received by the system, the boot process will be crashed. this crash event alerts the system that the previous attempt to boot was a failure, which in turn will try to boot the system again. now the device will begin to boot again and during this second boot, the checkMemory function will send a memory low notification again, followed by another "Cannot broadcast before boot completed" IllegalStateException and hence, a boot loop (some describe as soft brick) is created, as illustrated in a simple flow chart as below:

booting up --> low memory/memory full --> send notification --> notification dropped and IllegalStateException thrown --> failed to boot --> try to boot up again --> booting up --> low memory/memory full ...... --> fail to boot --> try to boot up again ......


so if your phone enters a boot loop for unknown reason, try to take a look at the log. if you find something like "Cannot broadcast before boot completed" or "Running low on memory. Sending notification" in the log file, you will know why and how to solve it



how to solve this problem?
1/. always keep an eye on your phone and make sure you have "sufficient" memory (disk space). unfortunately, the word "sufficient" is defined by Google, the programmers, the manufacturers, etc, which could be 2%, 5%, 10% of the total available memory, and can be different in different Android versions, different firmware versions, etc

2/. modify the sending low memory notifications process by:
a) removing sendNotification in checkMemory function in DeviceStorageMonitorService
b) handling the IllegalStateException thrown by verifyBroadcastLocked in ActivityManagerService in a better way


for me, i opted to disable the sendNotification in DeviceStorageMonitorService.smali found inside services.jar as temporary solution. here's how to (based on stock I9300XXELKC):


[i] find the lines that read like:

const-string v2, "DeviceStorageMonitorService"

const-string v3, "Running low on memory. Sending notification"


[ii] remark the following lines a few lines after [i] (line 229 and 230 in my case, may be differnet for you):

### low memory --> boot loop bug --> Cannot broadcast before boot completed
.line 229
#invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/DeviceStorageMonitorService;->sendNotification()V

.line 230
#iput-boolean v7, p0, Lcom/android/server/DeviceStorageMonitorService;->mLowMemFlag:Z


by commenting or removing these lines, no memory full notification will be sent but a log will be printed to the system log, and the memory full boot loop bug can be avoided
