Update D107 goodness :)

Howdy,
Reckon it's been a while since I posted something nice up but I reckon I'll give up some goodies....
I have for yalls pleasure the DG27 to D107 update directly from Sprint, got it on my phone a few minutes ago and pulled it off.
ALSO, I pulled some of the standalone goodies out of it for yalls pleasure as well. These include the media hub apk, and the included qik.apk.
Media Hub:

Qik:

DG27 to D107 Update (Original non-modified-Signed):
http://www.droidbin.com/index.php/files/get/iv_p2mYBQH/cec94babb124.update-dg27-to-di07.zip
So I through together an update.zip that works on any ODEXED Stock ROM Basically it throws the needed files into system/app and then performs the checks...this is for those with ClockWork Recovery. Be aware that this method requires the stock kernel as well.
Please make sure you do a backup before using this
Update.zip (for clockwork recovery and includes all the listed apps below)

ENJOY!

images arent loading, opening them in a new tab brings up droid bin

Your too fast

So we can flash this .zip in clockwork recovery and get the whole update?

meh I cant guarantee that will work. My bet is that you will get a signature error...If someone takes this and signs it with the test keys then it may work...depending on what kind of checks it does....

why cant you flash with the stock recovery if it is signed?

Looks like it does a system integrity check and if it fails the checks, any of them, then it wont update your phone...for instance, I tried to install the new update but it fails because I have the 3.0 TouchWhiz launcher

I am pretty sure the clockwork recovery that noobnl got working has an option to bypass checks or signing but not sure if it actually works. TW 3.0? Gimme some lub here

thanks for the file- I just renamed it "update.zip", placed it on the root of the SD card and used the stock recovery.
I did this after I had gone back to the completely original stock using odin. Tested using mediahub which now loads- under build # I see D107 now

Here is the pastebin of the script....

how do u get to stock recovery?

Kapow, here is an update script that runs no checks what-so-ever
http://pastebin.com/04EwkdJG
But you need to know whats different on your system because if they try to patch something on your system thats different then what they are suspecting then baaaaad things can happen.
Honestly it wouldnt be hard to make a working update for root users from this....

assuming you dont have a custom recovery loaded just turn off the phone completely and then power on while holding down volume down and camera button.

Basically to make this work for everyone...simply have someone apply the stock update.zip, then get the patched files from their phone and make a update.zip signed with test keys to give you the patched files...
or, revert to nearly stock, meaning using all the exact files they are using and just apply this update.zip after signing it with the test keys...

Jimmyz I totaly forgot about this.. This is tech the other "official" way to update the device. As this is what ti does after the download to cache. I am liking the ease of one clicks and etc with Samsung.. This could be better than HTC's click and flash..

[SCRIPT] D3xopt "dexopt-wrapper" script

For reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561579
Advantages:
jubeh said:
...there are two latent benefits to having odexed apps; decreased usage of dalvik-cache (thus, more space in /data) and decreased first-boot time after a wipe.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disadvantages:
jubeh said:
The disadvantage of odexed apps is that, unless the classes.dex is kept inside the .jar or .apk, the app and framework are bound to each other (though an odexed framework can still be used under a full set of non-odexed apks, but not the other way around). This removes mix-and match, and it was the reason why I was waiting for a more current hero-dump that didn't have all it's apps and frameworks odexed...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is just something quick that I threw together after i was asked some questions regarding creating .odex files and the entire dexopt mechanism.
I searched for scripts that allowed me to do this quickly but I only found half assed ones that really didn't fit my needs.
So here's a rough preview of the script: http://pastebin.com/PKxvzMmR
How it works:
After you flash the update.zip below, you'll have both the d3xopt.sh script and the dexopt-wrapper binary. You'll then simply jump into shell
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
and type "d3xopt.sh" and it'll spout out a brief overview of the script:
Code:
Clearing dalvik-cache
Directions:
This script allows you to create .odex files
to optimize dalvik runtime
How to use:
FR - Framework
SA - System Apps
ALL - Framework/System Apps
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
DO NOT DEXOPT SYSTEM APPS THEN FRAMEWORK.
ALWAYS DEXOPT FRAMEWORKS THEN SYSTEM
APPLICATIONS.
WRONG ORDER WILL RESULT IN ANDROID
RUNTIME ERRORS.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
Example: d3xopt.sh FR creates the .odex files for core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, and services.jar in boot order as to not create any problems with runtime. This follows the order set forth by Jubeh here.
I did put in a few 'checks' that will stop the script from running. Right now it's just rough. (checks for Phone.odex and core.odex before initializing, if present, it exits).
Make sure that you nandroid before you run this script, that way, when you get a spam of force closes, you don't have to cry yourself to sleep.
jubeh said:
Also, be sure that if you want to keep an app's ability to be upgraded, don't odex it (actually, don't even have it in /system, toss it to /data/app)

Gonna try it right now on jaybob's Dec17th BlackMod, Thanks Deca!
LOL @ Spam of FC's! I got them, about 30 of them, and they keep coming back! Did I do it wrong or what? It cleared Dalvik, then I tried entering cmd's but none worked, entered FR and got nothing????
OK I figured it out
d3xopt.sh FR
Looks like most if not all the Apps failed... Rebooting now
It did boot up but FC for everything Nandroiding back...

try odexing on a fresh install before installing anything, also the fc's after the script runs will happen atleast if its anything like the other odex script i used on the vogue, also clearing the dalvik cache AFTER the script runs wont do too much since the dalvik cache gets emptied by the odexing process

Also before you run the script make sure you have atleast 15% of system space left or bad things can happen, and like the Op said is more than a few words, once its odex'd you can never theme it

Yeah, I dont have much space due to fierats. The dalvik cleared first, I was just out of order on my posting I do to much with themes on phone for this. I didnt see that it wouldnt work, or cause themes in future from working. Boredom, see a new thing and I wanna try it! Anything that can help the Hero is worth a shot

Yea dzo posted a thread about it in the vogue forums, the OP here doesn't exactly say it here but its true and yea FR could cause a problem

When flashing the zip from recovery, the whole /system/bin/ directory is chmod to 0755 permissions. This causes problems with apps which need superuser permissions. It took me more than a day to figure this out...

herp derp, fail on my part. Took the lazy route and just recursively changed permissions on flash instead of just doing it for the individual files. My bad.

I was just about to chip in with the same question, I've got a Flytouch 3, we also can't get into ADB via the usb port, if we could run this script as a stand alone working off a directory with the files on a PC it would be extremely useful

hey Deca, wondering if there is a way to use this for /data/app ? I have evo3D now, LOTS of apps, and it boots wicked slow :/

Hi did this ever get updated for GB ??
Very good idea, hope it can work on modded roms.
Thanks.

Dead Link?
Hi dead Link??! Need it for Dev purposes??

Decad3nce,
the link is dead, can you upload the script again ?
thanks

Rooted now how do I flash a rom?

My buddy got this phone I want to hook it up as he's not great with tech stuff i rooted with z4root and just need to know how to access recovery cause i didn't see a reinstall packages option in standard recovery ? Any help would be awesome thanks guys

I just rooted with Z4root... then I installed Titanium Backup and then ROM Manager, giving both apps root access (which I verified with the SuperUser app). In ROM Manager I did "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and chose the Fascinate option and was told that it downloaded the latest ClockworkMod Recovery. What's my next step?... Choose "Reboot into Recovery" within ROM Manager or do it another way. (My goal is to install Voodoo5 using the stock ROM for now. I have the Voodoo5 file on the SD card.)
EDIT: Whoops. I just realized that I had downloaded the two files to get CWM working but hadn't followed the unzipping, etc. instructions. I'd better go back and read that CWM thread again...

First get CWM working
Then check out this ROM
Or this ROM
and if you really wanna get fancy check out this kernel
Just in case you screw up
If you need more help on each specific topic, just ask in the appropriate areas and there is usually someone around that can answer questions.

Thanks for the quick links... really appreciate it.
BTW - Titanium Backup asks for USB Debugging to be enabled... do you have to do this? It creates issues for me when connecting the phone as mass storage to my PC.
ALSO - I'm assuming I should take an initial backup with Ti before I get too far into this, right? Not having done a backup before... is Ti the best to use? (Do I just choose batch and pick an option(s)? Does choosing "Backup user apps + system data" backup game save data?) EDIT: Just did this and it ran fine but it switched my Live wallpaper back to stock?!? WTF?

Quick links are awesome! They save time, for sure.
Check the box to ask each time for mass storage and kies. Then you can have debugging enabled, and yes you have to have it enabled or TB won't do it's thing properly. You can switch it back and forth also. That's what I do.
I use TB to do my app and system data backups. Just run a batch backup on user apps and system data, like you said. That's the best option to start with. This isn't the same as a nandroid backup, but it's a good second choice for if you need to wipe data and restore apps quickly like a ROM install that requires you to wipe data/factory reset.

Nandroid backup will be there once you get CWM working.
You can do everything from the phone, just read down through the pages to find the people that have done it. They have left instructions using terminal emulator and root explorer. You will find that in a lot of instances many problems will have different ways of dealing with them. You probably don't have the Android SDK which is how you get ADB working on your computer. This isn't critical, it just makes it so that you will have to either install it or use the other means available. (ie terminal emulator and root explorer)

Still getting errors after trying several of the things in the thread... Q:I never did get a robot voice when I ran Z4root and never saw a place to choose permanent... should I run Z4root again? I mean, I was able to install Ti, etc. so I must have root, right? But I think my issues stem from not being able to get redbend_ua into the /system/xbin folder. Astro can't paste it there, Root Explorer can't paste it there, but in the terminal it appears like chmod worked... thoughts?

I tried this. Used root explorer to finally get redbend_ua into system/xbin but when I try to run the commands in the post it cannot find redbend_ua. I also cannot cd into xbin within the emulator to ls ... says xbin not found. Explorer can see it there... what gives? do you have to restore redbend_ua inside the xbin directory or will it work to restore it elsewhere?
EDIT: cd to /system/xbin worked and an ls shows the redbend_ua there but the chmod 777 redbend_ua fails to "Unable to chmod redbend_ua: No such file or directory
EDIT to the EDIT: Hang on... think I may have found where I went wrong. What's the terminal command for delete?

Isn't there anyway to flash a rom using odin ? If not are the codes the same for terminal emulator as they are for adb to get cwm working? I'm from the vibrant section of this site running nero v4 right now I have a good understanding of odin for the most part but this not having an easy recovery is bs lol

I've never flashed a ROM using Odin, but that doesn't mean that it can't be done. The process should be the same using terminal emulator or adb, just more of a pain. I agree it would be nice to have full CWM Recovery support (or any full recovery support) but I don't have the money to spend on a phone to send to Koush right now to get that done. As soon as I do, this will be done and then I'll have a tester phone for firmware builds. It really isn't that difficult to get it working, though. I've done it probably 30-40 times now and even the first time the only flub was in a typo for the second to last character (thought it was a 1 and not an L)

So you type this stuff in all in one line or what?

[How to] Disable CarrierIQ on the Atrix 2

I am posting this in the Developer forum, because it is still a little more than a In-experienced user can handle at the moment, and the potential to get into a bootloop is a little higher if you are not familiar with what you are doing here.
If you are at all new / uncomfortable with Android, UNIX/LINUX, this phone, or adb, then: PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
If you get into a bootloop I am not responsible for this, nor is this the place to complain if that happens. You can ask for support here though if this process has caused that.
If you do get into a bootloop, then try and help me out, with providing as much info as possible with what happened (any output or screen prints are VERY helpful). I am also posting the original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file here AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. That way if it does all go wrong it is here to grab. So don't go asking for it someplace else, or even asking here for it.
You have been warned!
Now with that out of the way, on to the good stuff.
1) Go grab some kind of bloat freeze program, from the market. I have used bloat freezer from the market with great success.
Just download and install it, don't run it just yet, if you already have, and frozen the "Device Health Application", then unfreeze it, and reboot, before doing the next step.
It is VERY important that it is done in EXACTLY this order. The reason is, if the Device Health program is frozen when you let the init script run, it will not work exactly as it should and these services will restart, since part of it is frozen when it first runs, and it all has to be disabled in the proper way, so that it can not be restarted remotely, or we will HAVE to use cron to run checks. Cron is an elaborate hack, I don't want to have to do, unless we HAVE to. If you do it in the exact order noted here, cron will not be needed and this will not restart.
2) Go get the init.goldfish.sh file from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh.tar
push this tarball to your phone:
Code:
adb push init.goldfish.sh.tar /data/local/
End code
Now is the command line part of this hack.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
tar -xvf init.goldfish.sh.tar
cp /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh /sdcard/init.goldfish.sh
cp ./init.goldfish.sh /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chown root /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chmod 550 /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
mount -o remount, ro /system
reboot
End code
Now when your phone comes back up:
3) Open your bloat freezer program and freeze the "Device Health Application"
Your phone will freak out, and tell you that Device Health has stopped and it will keep asking you to FC, all you can do is pull the battery.
Put the battery back in the phone an boot it up.
Now CarrierIQ should be 100% disabled on your Atrix 2.
As promissed, here is the Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file in a tarball, just use the same code above to put this back in place.
DON'T USE ROOT EXPLORER TO COPY THESE FILES INTO PLACE!!!
Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh-orig.tar

LOL....
Hopefully I have not scared everyone from trying this.... I just want to let all the newbies who just got this as thier first android phone yesterday, and rooted it today, and now think that this is a good hack to try, that this is not the best thing for them just yet. It can and will bootloop the phone if you get too excited and don't follow the directions exactly... I got mine in a bootloop testing this all out, and finding the exact steps, but it was not hard to get out of, because it gets into android enough to let you adb in, if you screw up...

quick question: Why would rooting followed by freezing not work for that application? I think I did that when I got the phone. I don't see anything called Device Health in my running or installed applications.
Is carrierIQ still running on my phone? Have you got a string I can look for in the 'ps' output in the Terminal to confirm? There are 100000 processes running on these phones these days, most with cryptic names.... I miss the G1 days....

No just freezing the device health app just stops the collection process.
The part where you run the commands to stop the services in android are where the data can and will be sent to CIQ or AT&T, there are other things collected that att does not care much about (ATT only wants what is collected with the dev health app), and that goes straight to CIQ, so the services at the OS level are VERY important to stop. There is really not a way to see them running, but I have found that these can and will restart if my instructions are not followed 100%. To find out if CIQ is doing anything take a look on youtube there is a video that explains how to look at the system logs and see what is being collected if anything, and what is being sent out. After a lot of trial and error, I found this is the ONLY way to stop it 100%.

Hey Jim. sorry I've been out of the forums for so long on this. I was going to dig around my atrix2 and see what I could find wrt carrieriq. I got stuck on missing shell tools and you gave me some advice wrt paths and such. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for fixing up my env when I shell in? I also don't seem to have grep anywhere... odd.
YOu mentioned doing some of the destructive work in an emulator, and I would like to try the same thing, but I've no idea how to get the atrix2 ROM into an emulator. How did you accomplish this?
I followed the instructions above precisely and verified that my init.goldfish.sh is indeed modified correctly with the carrieriq stuff, and have suffered no ill effects. I have not, however, attempted to determine if carrieriq processes have stopped running. I did notice that after having frozen and unfrozen device.health.monitor a few times, it doesn't ever register as a running app... wonder what's up with that.
thanks for the help.

I was wondering....could this be made into a handy dandy flashable zip?
Then after flashing just freeze the app?

NICE! you really are a jedi master!

Who wants to be the first to try this out? I have created a flashable zip to disable CIQ on every boot, all you have to do is grab the file below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/NoCIQ.zip
Then with CWM, flash it, don't wipe anything, except maybe dalvic cache, but nothing else. This will only flash one file to your phone.
You will still have to freeze the device health app as in the OP.
This is just a test right now, once someone other than me tests this, and reports back, that all is great, then I will update the OP, to this method.

It said switch to edify scripting. Installation aborted. Something about gingerbread cwm 3. Not sure. Never see this before. I checked the zip and it has 2 updater scripts. One just has a ~ at the end. I know nothing of code but just trying to help.

Tried this. No go. Here is the error in CWM.

Amend Scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recover.

There ya go. Hope this helps.

That does not perform the hack, only detects if it is running. The voodoo ciq detection app works much better though.

I just rooted my phone, applied the hack and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Device Health App but I didn't see any FC.
Although when I opened Ti Backup, it told me that my su right are wrong. They are 4755 instead of 6755 or something like that and TiBu told me that it will fix it. I fixed it then froze the app and no FC or nothing. Phone is running fine but not sure if it worked.
Is it really necessary for the app to FC in order to show that it worked?
Should I try it all over again?
Thank you.

Everything downloaded well and is up and running!!! BTW boot took no longer than a usual boot on mine
Could you give some clarification on some of the notification drop down toggles and what they are? What is the little sun like icon and the circle arrow icon?
Will leave feedback as more proper use comes

I would guess the sun icon is brightness control and the circle arrow is sync

What is this overclocked to and what other changes does it have. Maybe someone thats done it can do a video demonstration on youtube.

Running great so far..awesome job..thought I was gonna have to wait months for something..on point..just came reluctantly over from a g2x due to T-Mobiles lack of sympathy for the broke...any way to get instructions on how to overclock via terminal emulator?

Are we able to restore Nandroid backups successfully? I read in the other thread that .img files were not present in the Nandroid backup. Has that been resolved?

Yup! You can use it like you would any other cwm.

pretty much all cwm features are working, nandroid backup, restore, flash rom, wipe......

Thanks for the ROM!
So, let's see if I understand how this works: the only thing we can't do yet without unlocking the bootloader is to install a different kernel. Everything else can be changed, right?

I think right now its not, but the scripting is there so if you want the OC you have to do it manually via terminal emulator or ADB shell.
I've had no problems as well. Cant wait to see the OC and a theme on it BTW loving the notification toggles!!! If airplane mode was included it would be set!!!
