[MOD][JB][I8160+P] 624 MB accessible RAM on ANY Jelly Bean ROM

[khartahk]

If I apply this mod to the stock rom, will remain the same RAM amount installing a custom rom (the kyrillos one)?

Yes you will 624MB. I did this and it worked.

I have to look more often here at XDA! Missed this for some reason...

Stunning work, Szaby59 - Finally you did it !!! Congrats !!! :highfive:

Just in case anyone with DBT XXMG2 cannot increase Ram from 550MB to 624MB I am adding Szaby59's answer:
"Try flashing a different P build with odin and after that apply 624 MEM MOD.
If works you can reflash the stock rom"

By the way: Big thanks to Szaby59!

 

[fluffi444]

Works!

Flashed back to GB with I8160PXXLK2 (see sig) (555MB)
Flashed I8160PXXMG2 (482MB)
Flashed 624MEM_V1 (624MB)

NICE!

Hi,
just for information: a good friend of mine has just received an i8160p from amazon.
I asked him to upgrade on 4.1.2 with OTA instead of kies or odin, to see the result on the memory... but...

He received the phone, already with 4.1.2, with XXMF1 and 624MB !!!

So, I think it's clear that 624MB is the "normal" configuration.

As said by our friend Szaby59, there is something wrong with the kies deployment.

the previous owner could have already updated it, unless its out of the box?

no, it's a brand new item, from amazon.

ok, i had no idea samsung sold updated ones already, mine was the one with old touchwiz 4.0 box(i8160)

UK update via OTA gives you 624mb. You need to flash btu xxmc8 on gingerbread, make sure that csc is BTU. Then go to OTA and it will tell you that there is a "stability update" and it's 42 ish MB. When it's finished you will have mf1 with 624 mb, but it's nothing good, JB is as slow as it was before. It has slightly better battery life than MG2 but still better stay with GB. And I don't live in UK so it is possible for all to update it, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE BTU CSC AFTER UPGRADING TO XXMC8.

The same with my phone, but it's from notebooksbilliger.De and it is the non p version

now cm10 just beaten gb in gaming(for me), you should step up with us and try it. yes stock jb is extremely slow now that there are custom roms, but minimal by judas77 and kyrillos v8 are fast. mf1 and mc8 have better battery life but mg2 seems faster(a little) in performance.

There is a chance it will hardbrick the phone...
Your current rom probably don't have the new Jelly Bean bootloader, that's why V1 doesn't work - just like with XXMC8 for i8160, if someone can upload normal.bin.md5 from a JB I8160P rom I can make a new "V3" version for P devices.
Until then you have to flash a P JB firmware which has normal.bin.md5, then flash V1.

gt-i8160P

Intalled busybox still not work.. maybe it will work on other FW..
