[FIX] [GINGERBREAD] Internal Storage fix for Gingerbread ROM's

Hi all,
I've patched MediaScanner and services.jar in Gingerbread to support mounting Internal Storage.
This will allow apps to utilize Internal Storage including Music apps and any other apps which use the MediaScanner database.
What this doesn't fix is mounting Internal Storage over USB (I couldn't get anything mounted over USB on any ROM's I've tried.. in the hour I spent playing with it).
Anyway, here is the fix. It's a flashable zip. Remember to backup before trying this.

W00t. Thanks man. Now I can use GB as a daily driver use gscript to mount to and from PC

Damn n_i_x

You rock man thx!

Is there any chance you can apply this to the Desire ROM (preferably mine since the services has already been modified with other things)
Or atleast give us the details of the fix.
Just in case I have attached the 2 files in a zip for the Desire
Thanks

It works! Thanks a million for this n_i_x! Glad to see you working on Gingerbread. GB is now my daily thanks to you!

Isn't that a Sense ROM? I'm not sure the classes are the same.
Hit me up on IRC and we can try it out. Link is in my sig.

Ahhh, good point. I attached the 2 files in my post above just in case you want to take a quick look.

I take it internal is quicker than external.

Flashed the fix and now I'm keeping this rom as my daily driver. Thank you guys so much. Can't wait til GPS and camcorder bugs are also taken care of. Screeny!

You need to let it finish scanning your media. The MediaProvider database gets wiped out after it gets replaced so it can take around 15 minutes or so to scan the entire device depending on how much media is on the system. This fix scans music, images, and everything else MediaProvider supports.

Try this one... no guarantees. It's not flashable.

I get bootloops on Evervolv GB a013.

I won't clog this thread with Desire stuff since this is working good for Gingerbread.
Thanks

It's because it needs to be installed in /system/app

Try doing this
Instructions:
*You can try to install this .apk over top of your current market, but it may not work. If it won’t, then you will need to be rooted and follow the instructions below.
1. Download the file from above (Market-3.4.4.apk) to your SD card.
2. In Root Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.
3. Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.
4. Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.
5. Long press on Market-3.4.4.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.
6. Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”
7. Change the permissions to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Press “OK”, reboot and enjoy the new market.
Let us know if you run into any issues.

Thanks for the post... but i am still having problem buying apps.
Simple translate:
Error
An error occured, please try again.

I get build version 3.3.12 when doing that. is that correct?

I did the same. Then out of exasperation, within root explorer, I ran the APK, was prompted to overwrite my other system app, and I did it. I assume the fixed permissions had something to do with it, but it worked for me.

I noticed a huge difference in speed and loading, well done Google

Can't even open it, keeps FCing. Was it cause I deleted the old vending.apk?

Fix permissions, reboot. Still not working ? Must be kernel problem, not sure. Works for 90% of the people flawlessly.
Problems related to buying apps could be (not asserting) server side problems which many faced during sale.

Well I am running a Trinity kernel, which one do you recommend? I just want my market to work I changed permissions like said in the past posts

Try fixing permissions through Recovery or Rom Manager also.

Having issues with Titanium Backup

I've flashed two roms so far and cant restore using titanium backup. It just hangs on 0%. Maybe suggestions?

I would like to know this as well.

Try the beta versions (test6), you can get it off the twitter page. I have a license, not sure if that is required for beta use of not. It works much better than the play store release on 4.4.4 and up imo

Here is the download link for the latest beta version of Titanium
backup, this will work with your existing "pro" key:
https://app.box.com/s/1opt1q2bnjl4oxd65ifg
This is a lot newer than what you find at the play store.
I have no issues or problems with Titanium backup.
Give it a try,

That's because the backed up folder is on legacy instead of emulated. Switch them around in preferences. Good luck

I have a slightly different issue...I can make 1 backup, maybe 2-5 adds for new apps/versions, and then I get error message "Batch backup interrupted: Insufficient free space." This has happened across 3 ROMs, uninstall/reinstall Titanium and pro key, wipe app data, delete backup/backup all apps, using root explorer to delete all Titanium files, update to newest version(6.2) from Titanium link in Twitter, and about every other thing I can imagine. Not a noob, and I have searched XDA for this issue, and this was the closest thread I can find.....???? Any ideas? I will try contacting them directly as well. Also looked at/changed settings in preferences. Thanks in advance for any help!

Try copying it to the internal sd and, make sure u have SU updated, happened to me on my tablet, didn't want to work until chainfire updated to be 2.14 I think. We are on 2.16.. don't have no issues since then.

I'm getting 'insufficent stg' too. I also noticed that the install did not make a TitaniumBackup folder anywhere. This is on the 21R update.

Go to preferences in Titanium backup and select "backup folder location"
then make sure it points to: /storage/extsdcard/Titaniumbackup OR
/storage/emulated/legacy/Titaniumbackup
Most any other location most likely will give you errors.
Good luck!

I've been all over the storage location function of TiBu. Change here change again change there, no joy. My point though is that it did not make the usual folder on install. Other apps that make a work folder don't seem to jab a problem doing so.
I'm thinking TB 6.2 and 21R are not happy together..
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app

The TiBu people apparently fixed the 'folder not created' problem, which also fixed the subsequent 'insufficient storage' problem. Ver 6.2.0.1 came out today.

Need G1 RC29 Firmware.

I Have been searching for the RC29 Firmware to download my htc g1 that i picked up off ebay a week or so ago. all download links i have found around xda lead to long dead file sharing sites.... i really don't want to have a wasted plastic brick of the g1. as i wanted to see what it was like to use the thing, as im a bit of a tech person and such. So if anyone still has the file lying around could you please give/send me a download link?? i have been searching for the past day or so and all remaining links seem to lead to virus filled sites or long dead file sharing ones..... surely this firmware could not have been lost to the test of time. i need to downgrade it so i can forcefully activate it using adb. As i don't have a sim card.

Hey. I have just got a htc dream and thought i would get some of files and try to archive them somewhere they would always stay. For now they are just on my server. Go to godfrey.online and there should be some files there. Good luck

I think you need to sideload updated Google Account Manager with ADB to login, or try to enable 2FA on your Google account, then make an "App Password" and use it for the phone

Accidently removed huawei dialer

Hi everyone,
i wanted to remove duplicate apps like com.android.google.contacts and com.android.contacts (same for calendar) thanks to EMUI.
I did it with adb following guides from the xda-forum.
Afterwards i realized my telephone-app / dialer was gone and i can't find a working apk of a google dialer.
Can someone provide me the official emui dialer apk or help out on another way?
Thanks guys!

first of all, you can flash stock rom to get everything back.... 2nd why not freezes the apps rather then delete them?

how does freezing the app work? I wanted to get rid of the double icons in my apps-drawer...

If you have titanium backup you can basically disable/freeze any app.

ok i will try this next time. nobody can help me with the apk-file?

Sadly not for me, maybe it's a problem with my european version of the p20 pro

Well titanium backup kan freeze a app when youi have root but you need to do it in ADB if you dont have root.

if you're rooted with magisk, download and install google framework module. It'll allow you to install google phone app directly from playstore.

@aederson, Extract the contents of this zip folder to system/priv-app/Contacts. You will probably need to recreate the Contacts folder. After reboot you should have your dialer back if that is all that was deleted. The dialer is part of the contacts APK so you need it installed to keep the stock dialer. Please hit thanks if this works.
If you are not rooted you may be out of luck aside from performing a system recovery. You can uninstall system apps via adb without root but I haven't found a method of putting them back yet that doesn't require su privilege.

many thanks saskatoon. Same problem here. I think the last option is the factory reset .... or root...

Have you tried this on p20 pro? A bit hesitant to try it out blindly as my phone is currently my daily driver.
