Really strange problem

So I was messing around with some of the system files, just trying to learn more about everything and I decided to do a wipe to put everything back to where it was and after I wiped, it gave me an error message at bootup saying that the gapps process had to be closed. I went through the regular sign in and when I got to the main screen, the screen was black. I get the top bar but nothing else.
So I tried reinstalling JFRC33 Lite. Same thing. So I tried installing JFRC33 regular. Now I cant even get by the blinking android. I dont know what the heck is going on but I know all is not lost because I can still et to the bootloader. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

try putting one of the updates on your SD card and naming update.zip, and then access the phone via adb shell(if you can) if you can see it with adb devices then type "adb shell wipe all" it will COMPLETELY wipe your phone and allow you to reinstall your update, you cshould be good as root after that, if not then try a .nbh file

Thanks bro! I had no idea you could wipe through the pc.

one of the many things i found when i was trying to control the phone with my computer. i have a script that when i run it on my comp it auto starts tetherbot and hits the up key on the trackball then hits enter to start the proxy, then does the adb forward tcp command and then starts firefox with all the correct settings. i also found a very complicated way to send texts with my phone using my comp keyboard and adb

Oh? Please share. I'm very interested in ways to control the phone from the pc.
Thanks

for the time being it is not an exact science, you need a key map(one found in my thread about the computer app to control phone) and you need to know a few commands. basically to get the phone to think you pressed a button you need to have the computer send the command: adb shell keyevent ## where ## is the number that corresponds to the key you want it to press on the phone. keys are labled 0-85 but i still have yet to figure out what 0 does and a few of the keys don't work perfectly yet but that's being worked on.
secxond you need the command "adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n (*********/*********)" where the *******/******* equals the program you want to start. for Steel you would type:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.kolbysoft.steel/com.kolbysoft.steel.Steel
that will bring up steel to your home page, after that you can type adn shell input (keyevent|text) if you do text the phone only reads one word, not sure why but i am trying to fix that as well, and if you do keyevent then you need to know what number corresponds to the key you want pressed
here is an example of a script that will start tetherbot, start the socks service, and do the tcp forwarding action
#!/bin/bash
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n graha.ms.tunnel/graha.ms.tunnel.TunnelConfig ##start new instance of tetherbot or bring current one to front
adb shell input keyevent 19 ###press up
adb shell input keyevent 66 ###press enter
sleep 3
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
all the commands i have found so far i got by running adb shell logcat and reading the output as i click on different applications. if you need some help with this then i would be more than happy to help, just make sure to let me know what program you are trying to run(if it's a paid app then you will need to run logcat and attach the output after running the app) if it's a free app i'll just install it and let you know how to start the app, then you can write scripts to get your phone to do certain things. i already have a script that wipes my phone, reapplys apps to SD and resets my settings, it's kinda messy but it works

Main Home can't rotate to lanscape mode when keyboard is closed. I think it because of Launcher odex file (like multi-touch browser by JF). I will ask someone to fix this.

how do i
how do instal these onto phone

What do you mean by "rotate effect"? The "H" build has that fade out fade in effect. Are you talking about the "G" rotate?

yo your awsome thanks for this, now H build is the best build ever!!!

Download those files and transfer to your sdcard. Then use ASTRO or Linda File Manager to install in your phone.

will this work for the jf rc33?

thank you i started downloading all that stuff and now im lost lol

So is there a way to enable auto rotate from the home screen on the H builds? I like the animations that spare parts has but still not auto rotate on home screen. And what does the input animations do?

Does this work on the new build? I tried to install the 1st one but got an error because i dint have enough space, even when my phone is just been flashed with the new fw :S, And yes i have root i am on 5.0.2r3 H

Yeh, The rotate tho did kinda get annoying, it was always thinking i was fliping the phone over, And on the new builds, You cant rotate the 360 degrees, Altho it wouldnt work upside down, but it was still prityy sick, Shame i cant get the keybord working in this but the other one was pritty slick

Just a thought? would it be the 1st one has to be done threw ADB?
*Edit, Sorry for double post, :L

is the htc keyboard the one from the "H" builds?

No, It is Original HTC keyboard from HTC sapphire US version with calibrate and more feature, NO Chinese. H version keyboard is Chinese keyboard

I think its awesome that your doing this giving a little more options to the H build. Not to sure if i will do that camera replacement but love everything else hopefully there are more options to come. Is there a way to fix auto rotate on home screen? Not asking you to do it just wondering if there is a fix for that?

There is a way to turn auto rotate on and off its in settings somewhere, look and you'll see

It's rm -r rather than rm-r (space is missing).

How to use QWERTZ keyboard in Haykuro 6r1

Download this attachment:

Then:
in windows:
adb pull /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
This backups your existing keylayout.
Then: (you must have the downloaded (unzipped!) file on C: !!)
cd C:\
adb remount
adb push trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
adb shell
cd /sdcard
dd if=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=/system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
reboot
Your device should reboot now and TADA you have fully working QWERTZ!
Please correct my commands if they are wrong.
Disclaimer:
You know this..

can you give me codes to work with the terminal (I don't use sdk -ADB)
And , does it fixes all other stuff to like + - :.... or just swap Z and Y.
(I need that fix so much)
Thanks

Copy the file to your sdcard then:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
i think it fixes all including + etc..

ok did it, typing reboot....
g1 htc booting
waiting.....
OMG thanks a million....... close this thread or just move it to (make one with USEFULL THINGS).... will help other people in europe.
Thanks again.

Hi!
This only works reliably with ROMs with the Google virtual keyboard. With the HTC one (which function-wise is better), the hardkeyboard eventually switches back and forth from qwertz to qwerty and back.
Is there a solution for that issue?
Greets

It's because of the Hardwarekeyboardcorrection.
You can try to deactivate it in Settings/Locale Settings/Touch Input/...

Yeah, that's my experience as well that it is due to the hardware keyboard correction.
However, even when I switch that off (correction and completion switched off), this strange behavior of switching back and forth continues :-(.
Is there a solution to this?
Or alternatively how can I install the Google IME on a HTC build as a workaround?
Just pushing GoogleIME.apk doesn't help unfortunately.

Terminal Emulation

I downloaded a terminal emulator (a free one first then Better Terminal Emulator Pro") just to have it and carefully familiarize with the OS on this phone.
Before I installed fresh 1.0 when I opened it a screen with a lone "$" and would appear and function just as ADB SHELL does from my PC (XP).
After fresh the initial screen displays:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$
From this screen if I type "su" it goes to another screen titled "su request" and times out to a FC in about a minute or two.
Also in the Preferences menu the Command Line option is set to:
/system/bin/sh -#/
I can navigate into folders in "$" but no matter how deep I go "exit" closes the emulator instead of going back one level.
I am not using almquist shell, just android shell.
Any insight into what this means would be appreciated.

Are you on fresh 1.0 now? I *think* the issue with the "su request" screen being blank was in an older version of the fresh ROM.

Completely normal... "exit" will exit the current shell you're in. If you want to go back one directory, then "cd .."

Answer found
I had USB debugging off, switched it on and terminal emulator works.

[GUIDE] Remapping The Power Button Double Press To ANY App

This guide works for 7.0 and 8.0 on any variant of the S8/S8+/Note 8.
You will need ADB installed on your computer first. You can find several guides online for this.
1. Pick an app to remap (ill be using Google Camera)
2. Find the Component ID for this app. Open the app to the page you want and run this command with ADB.
Code:
adb shell "dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp'"
Now look for this part of the output:
Code:
mCurrentFocus=Window{afcbfbb u0 [B][U]com.google.android.GoogleCamera/com.android.camera.CameraLauncher[/U][/B]}
The bolded and underlined part is what we need. Copy that somewhere for later.
3. Now, run this command to set the new component as our double press action.
Code:
adb shell "settings put system double_tab_launch_component [B][U]com.google.android.GoogleCamera/com.android.camera.CameraLauncher[/U][/B]"
Replace the component ID with the one we found in step 2. The example above sets it to Google Camera.
4. REBOOT
5. Profit!
To return to the default camera action, run this:
Code:
adb shell "settings put system double_tab_launch_component com.sec.android.app.camera/com.sec.android.app.camera.Camera
If you've got questions, ask me below. Enjoy~!

Bixby button
Can you do this with bixby button I removed with adb pm remapping apps not working?

Thanks for posting! Is there a way to get this to work with a system service (not an app), such as the flashlight?

Thanks for posting this. I set it up to open the google camera, and it worked. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to survive reboot.

Did not work on Galaxy S8, Oreo
I also tried other apps except Google Cam, didn't work. I tried with su in ADB, didn't work. Suggestions?

Worked fine for me! Just don't forget to leave the double press option in the samsung camera app ON!
infact, I used tasker secondary app to launch ANY tasker task with double press.
use:
adb shell "settings put system double_tab_launch_component net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/com.joaomgcd.taskerm.util.ActivitySecondaryApp"
reboot, and then let the phone rest for a minute so that tasker can load its processes.
