This is genuinely good news for this phone, thank you barone_galaxys2 for the amazing work on fixing this bugged build, you can install it from the mentioned XDA link on an i8190 or i8190n I think but i8190 is guaranteed 🥹

Idk what to put here ig

Yes this is true 😭

I hope it's good!

(I found this at e-waste, but I added the sticker cuz I did not have anywhere else to add it)

Since people asked so much about how to do it, here's the tutorial on how to log in to Google on Android 2.3 (you need root, once root and a root file manager are gained, you can begin the tutorial)

Step 1: open your root file explorer and navigate to /data/system (or /data/system/users/0 on some devices)

Step 2: copy your accounts.db to sdcard

Step 3: connect the device to a PC and turn on USB storage

Step 4: get the DB Browser for SQLite on PC

Step 5: if you have another device (let's say on Android 4) that is logged in, go into the newer directory name mentioned in step 1 in parentheses and repeat step 2-3 (different or close name obviously)

Step 6: open both your android 2 and 4 accounts.db files

Step 7 (yes funny number I know): Save the Android 4 one in .sql

Step 8: import the SQL onto the android 2 accounts.db and write changes (don't worry tokens that were on the Android 4 file that are not Google will be ignored by Android 2 but the Google account won't)

Step 9: repeat step 2 but from the PC back to the device (after saving the file obviously)

Step 10: rename accounts.db on the /data/system directory to accounts.db.bak or just delete it

Step 11: move the new accounts.db into the previously mentioned directory

Final step: set permissions to 660 and system:system (or 0660 and 0.0/0:0)

Reboot, if all the steps were done correctly, you should be logged in

(Note: google changed the accounts.db directory to /data/system/users/0 with android jellybean)

(Another note: this tutorial was posted on the original post under a comment but I chose to make it a full post to make it easier to find, and this is not a question, this is a tutorial so the "low effort" thing that I'm getting isn't true in this case but it disappeared after adding an image)

(Final note I swear: if you have any issues, say them in the comments 👍)

I just modified my accounts.db file, it might be dangerous sometimes but in this case I got it working 🥹
