[ROM] [8/12] 1.45.401.2 OTA Stock Rooted | odex & deodex | Settings fixed

No one seemed to wanna help me so I had to figure this out myself
Started with the Europe RUU and patched the files from the OTA zip posted earlier today, rooted, the whole 9 yards.
What you get:
1.45.401.2 Android 2.3.4
disabled boot sound (I had to, sorry!)
rooted & busybox installed
odexed
unsecure boot.img
love
Deodexed version comes with all of the above plus:
busybox runparts support (init.d)
/data/app enabled
nano & bash shell
deodexed
extra love
Older kernels do not seem to work (2.3.3 ones), so you will have to stick with this stock kernel for now. I have a TMO US Sensation and everything seems to be working fine on my end (I AM running the new radio, btw).
Flash with CWM.
Note for odexed ROM!! - I mucked up the Settings.apk and included a wrong one. The correct files are in there but need to be renamed before you flash, or flash the file I linked below IMMEDIATELY after you flash the ROM (before rebooting). Deodexed version is unaffected. Sorry for the trouble!
Download Odexed -d40386a3258546ee1bd760588007d2bd
Odex Settings Flashable fix - flash immediately after
Downdload Deodexed - 71aeba2d1ae00813458b78bda5c188a0
Deodex Flashable Settings.apk fix - or just push this Settings.apk
Instructions for those not so sure which to download:
Download deodex version
Download Deodex Settings.apk flashable right below it
Place both on SD
reboot to recovery and make a nandroid backup
wipe dalvik cache (and data if you choose, I recommend doing so)
flash deodex
flash settings.apk fix
reboot

Nice one man, will be helpfull to many

yah now all will make a super mega uber fast .... rom
thanks for release, users who like all stock will be happy

Bug
(Do NOT Flash this ROM!) - FIXED
There is no Settings application!!!!!!!!
And in Menu also!!!

Am I missing something? What's so good about this. o_o

Good things ahead.

Great work. How did you apply the OTA patch "HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1" to "HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1" ?? Did you update your phone then backup and used that in the kitchen ?
Thanx

There is no settings app. Attempting to start settings from the status bar crashes the status bar process...
Nice :\
Flashed with CWM.

It's unanimous. Settings are missing.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App. Waiting for my phone to restore.

Sorry fellas, was experimenting with one and forgot to get rid of it, you can run the following commands to get it back (it should be on your phone, I just renamed it, look at the zip ).
Open up your zip and delete Settings.apk in /system/app and rename Settings.apk.bak to Settings.apk and then rename Settings.odex.bak to Settings.odex then flash away.
Or the hard way:
Code:
roman$ adb remount
remount succeeded
roman$ adb shell
sh-3.2# cd /system/app
sh-3.2# rm Settings.apk
sh-3.2# mv Settings.apk.bak Settings.apk
sh-3.2# mv Settings.odex.bak Settings.odex
roman$ adb reboot recovery
**wipe dalvik cache in recovery**
reuploading a newer version.

Ripped the patch zip apart, took out any references to firmware, flashed the patch file upgrade.
In the firmware.zip were the boot.img & radio.imgs i flashed among other things I was way too scared to touch

So any "reviews" on 2.3.4, is battery life better? Anything new?
Also a question.
If I install this, would I be able to extract my backup rom of Anroid Revolution and take the apps out aswell as other things like contacts and just slap em on my SD card or in System/apps and have it all work again?

Just do a nandroid backup before, flash over, if you get no issues, great! If you start seeing issues, nandroid back, or do a /data wipe in recovery. But theoretically you should be able to.
Deodexed version is also up. flashed and seems to be working great.

I did it! Just flashed it over my old ROM and it worked like an update. Settings working, probably because old ones weren't overwritten. I'm gonna keep using it and report any problems.
Also I used root explorer to fix settings.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App. Phone is restored.

You sure it'll work ok?
I've got Android Revolution HD with No Sense (So all HTC Sense is removed)
Still safe to just flash over?

It worked for me. I flashed over training wheels.

Honestly no, but theoretically it SHOULD work. Do a nandroid, and then you have nothing to be scared of .

Since I have to re-flash I renamed the files within the zip. Let's see if it works
Also, is it safe to just remove a couple of files from the zip? I'm thinking about bloatware naturally...
It might be a silly question, but I've never messed with roms before

i dont like you and all but thanks.

[request]stock gb theme

With all the themes we have now it's easy for our phones to become a mess...
Is it possible to have the stock gingerbread theme with all original apps to flash? It would be really nice

You can do this yourself. Just download the deodexed stock XXKPH files from this thread and copy the required apps to phone using any root explorer.

Please post such requests in Q and A section.
For return to stock theme u must backup whole system folder as a backup for safety. Because theme contains modified files which replaces files only from system folder.
Whenever u will open any theme u will always see two main folder name as META-INF and system folder. META-INF is folder is very important to flash the theme in phone.
Suppose u flashed u clear glass sl theme and after sometime u want to return to stock theme here is procedure.
1. Always take a backup of ur original whole system folder before flashing theme.
2. Take a copy of any theme such as clear glass sl theme on computer.
3. open that theme using any zip software.
4. Now delete the system folder from that theme. Never delete META-INF folder from that.
5. Now copy ur original whole system folder in place of deleted system folder.
6. Thats it. The new zip theme file will contain whole stock files.
7. Go into recovery and flash it. You will get ur original look.

Just download deodexed XXKPH system files from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191911
Click on "Download Deodexed System Files [COMPLETE XXKPH]" and you will download a file "xUltimate Deodex XXKPH.rar" which contains all deodexed system folders /app and /framework.

Yeah, I need this too to get my UI themes & APKs back to normal UI since I have usually flashed / changed my stock xxkph with some different themes....

I tryed copy all those files in the framework and app folder but it doesn't work... the phone looks normal but it then hangs random reboot and stuff like that.. I did a factory reset and... the theme I installed came back from nothing!
My usb is broken and I cant reflash so I'm pretty screwed without a stock theme to flash back

Thanks but I've done such experiments before and foreign system files always seem to either cause me bootloops or force-closing on certain apps once the phone starts up.
It's not a problem for me and I'm willing to try because I could make a nandroid backup now, etc, but the problem is I have trouble restoring my sd-ext and all of my installed apps are stored there so a nandroid backup and restore could remove all of my important apps or I'm not sure maybe it won't but I can't take the risk for now.
Please if you could do the procedure I would be very grateful. I've attached my framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar if you decide to do it.

You should post a full method of adding files in framework-res.apk and android policy instead of posting the zip.
SO that other users can use it also.

Morphed theme won't unmorph

I mess with my phone's cosmetics on a daily basis. I switch between themes all the time. With cm7 and ADW launcher there are just so many customizations. I also use zip themer frequently to build modded zips for any given theme. I recently built and flashed a zip that modded my lockscreen and added some cool animations and custom transitions. When you build a zip with zip themer it creates an update zip and an undo zip. I tried flashing the undo zip to get rid of the modifications and it didn't work. I even tried rebuilding the zips and flashing again. Nothing. I was was forced to restore with a nandroid. If this happens again, is there a way to get rid of it without having to do a restore?

Maybe copy your systemui.apk and framework-Res.apk beforehand and try manually pushing them back through adb....or better yet stick them in a flashable zip and flash them.

In cm recovery,
Try mounting system, then flashing the undo.zip
Then clear cache and dalvik and reboot.
This is the only way flashing themes and mods works for me. Good luck!

That's a great idea twitch....however I don't know how to use ADB all that well, maybe I'll just zip them up next time. Would I have to delete my modded systemui and framework-res apk's before or after flashing back to my normal ones?
Eric, I actually tried that exact method. Mounted, flashed cleared my caches aannnnd nothing =( It was after this that I knew I was kinda screwed lol. Also, I think I know what may have caused the glitch. See, I flashed a morph for a specific theme.....Then I changed themes WITHOUT removing the morph. Think thats what made it screw up?

I think... the flashing would overwrite the modded ones. But I've never actually tried it so probably keep a nandroid handy.
Actually another great tool for this would be the aroma file manager. You can use it from recovery to push the apks and set the right permissions. I like that idea

Oh and yeah maybe mounting system would do it. That would be super easy lol

Modyfying existing ROM

Hi,
I decided to try to make a modification of an existing ROM which would suit me better right after flashing. Nothing large, only adding some apps and stuff. But Ive got a couple of questions:
1) Ive read some apps cant run from /system partition. Looks like that (at least) one of mine is one of them - it FCs when in /system/apps or /system/priv-apps. Is there any workaround to make this work? I dont want to lose it when doing factory reset (or to flash the ROM again after every factory reset).
2) I wanted to add langunages (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602704) but according to forums those files are odexed. How could I deodex them to make them run on an deodexed ROM?
3) I want to include the faux kernel but Im not sure if simply copying those files into the ROM would do ... in the other cases it went ok but Im not sure about the kernel - Im afraid I could break something.
4) Can I also use the ROM file to store other files? I mean - if I put files into the ROM in /data/media/0/ would it simply appear in my home directory or could this break anything - by which I mean to destroy my existing files?
Thanks for any leads!

1) What is the app? on system/app they should work fine since kitkat update, i think
2) To deodex i used a kitchen i got out of foro nexus (cant get the link atm) that only worked on linux. If you want to translate things in your rom, i think it can be done without deodexing, im not sure.
3) Copy paste should work fine but if you take a look at faux's meta inf, see what's there, merge it with your rom's meta inf. But it should work with cp
4) You can use the meta inf to link files to storage like your sdcard, yes. However, if you try to put a wallpaper somewhere inside the rom it wont show up

Thanks very much for your reply! Now:
1) The app is a game, Traffic Racer. When I flash a ROM where this app has been put in /data/app it runs fine. In /system/app or /system/priv-app it FCs. As you say it should work Ill try to do it again - but I tried it twice in /system/priv-app and once in /system/app already so I dont believe it would work. BTW I use APKs from update.zip created by TiBa if it could be relevant.
2) Linux is not a problem so Ill try to find the link here.
3) Ill try only to copy the files first before messing with meta files.
4) I only want to store some apps config backup files (for Apex launcher and Agenda widget mainly).

Oh, games could cause issues, yes. Better leave it on data app. Messing with meta inf is totally easier than it sounds anyways and could help fixing any possible bugs, you gotta try it. Backup files i dont think they'll work on the rom but you can store them into storage/emulated/legacy which is the storage, though you could do this any other easier way

Thanks again! Ive got one more question about including the faux kernel. The updater-script is supposed to run this command during the installation in CWM:
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");
... which I dont know how to implement. If I would only copy all files it would overwrite the original boot.img (Kitkat+ 1.1 original anyway) - which im not sure is the same. So Im not sure if it wont screw something up ...
Or is this extraction the same as copying it? Does the "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" just mean - "its a block device on first SD, partition name boot"?

Put faux's boot.img on the rom first, then on updater script go to the line that refers to extracting boot.img (should be like the last one) and replace that with the command on faux's updater script. That means it will extract it in that directory, nothing else. Be sure to copy modules aswell and set the perms

Q&A threads should be created in the Q&A forum... not the Development forum.
Thread moved.

One more question - is there a special way how to pack the ZIP file? Cause I unpacked a ROM, added some apks, packed it but it didnt work (no error, just ended at "opening rom" or what the CWM message is) ... but when I modified existing ZIP it went fine ...
