SilverLight™ 5 - alpha !
Hi friends, sorry i'm too late than i expected. Day's passed on swiftly and i'm here to just release the alpha of Silverlight 5.
SilverLight 5 bug fixes are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30734779#post30734779
Important feature is that it is based on Android 2.3.6 !
It has been ported from Alcated 918D [MTK 6573]
Everything works fine. (Special thanks to yasir bro for testing it !!!)
I also named it as Stock Android 2.3.6 update for Spice Mi-350n.
It is just stock, for now
Another important thing is that, I'm making this port an open-source port. Since, i saw new rom makers emerging, it would be easy for them to cook/build custom ROMs from this port.
One thing, if someone wants to use it, do give me an information and a credit in your thread !!

SilverLight™ 3
Features:
>> Based on Official Spice build v2 !(thanks to yasir bro!!)
-- If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5/1.01(or did not flash your phone by following this guide), then do please flash your phone with official build v2 using this guide. It takes a mere 7 minutes for you to flash it but it takes hours together for me to make one for v1.5. If you want, i can make one for v1.5 also, but it can't be released within one week. So, bear with me & do upgrade your phone to official v2 !!!
NOTE1: If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5, then you won't lose your apps. Just flash official v2 with the help of flashing tutorial and the flash SilverLight 3 !
NOTE2 (read this only after reading the flashing guide above): If you are upgrading, then in the flashing guide linked above, in step 5, i did it like & it worked : After loading the scatter file, with battery inserted,i connected the phone by pressing Back+Menu buttons. My pc detected it and i clicked Format->Download. I kept holding it till the red process completed and from there everything went fine and flashing was successful.

Installation Instructions (SL-v3):
NOTE: Its is highly recommended to make a complete nandroid backup(including boot.img) before installing. Do not boot your phone in between.
Also disable Signature verification every time you flash a zip because they are not signed.
1) Download 'SilverLight-3_by_balamu96m.7z'. Extract it. Then you'll have SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip , SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip & SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip(These are flashable zips. So do not extract them)
Click to expand...

Let it install without any error. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

THATS ALL !! You have successfully installed SilverLight™ 3 !!
Now boot your phone. First boot may take long time (even 10 minutes !), but don't worry. It will boot !!
STEPS TO ENABLE A2SD after installing the ROM:
NOTE: If you had done this already for Bala's ROM v1.5, no need to do again.
1) Make a backup of all your sdcard files in your computer because partitioning will erase all your files.
2)Now boot in recovery --> partition sdcard --> partition sdcard --> Swap size: 0mb --> Choose size of the partition that you prefer (recommended 1024mb)(not more than 1399 mb because beta 04 supports till that only)
Let it partition your sd without any error !!
[NOTE: If you are partitioning for the 1st time with recovery, the default type of the partition will be ext2 - that is what we need & with this a2sd will work .
If you have mistakenly upgraded your partition to ext3 or ext4, then use MiniTool Partition Wizard (its free) and change your partition to ext2. Only then a2sd will work.]
Now boot normally. Now with the help of A2SD GUI app, make apps to be stored in sdcard(will be on the main-screen!). Your phone will reboot once or few times. Read more about using A2SD GUI in the following 2nd or 3rd post !!
VOILA !! a2sd is working !!! You can verify/view its space with titanium backup app !!
Now you can place all your files back on your sdcard.
With recovery you can even backup your sd-ext whenever required. (sd-ext is the place where apps which you install will be stored)

SCREEN SHOTS v1.5:
SCREEN SHOTS v1.01:
NOTE:
-The android version displayed there (in Bala's ROM v1.01&v1.5) is just change in number. The actual version is 2.3.4 only !! Only you know that it is 2.3.4. For others it is 2.3.7 !!
USING A2SD GUI [For v1.5+]
'A2SD settings' on the app's main screen.
------You can choose where apps that you install should be saved either in sd-ext (sdcard partition) or your internal memory.
------ 'Zipalign on boot is off' - is recommended because the ROM is already zipaligned and doing it again on boot will take more time to boot.
------'Swap is deactivated' - I have not used it.....maybe you/anyone can try and reply !
DALVIK:
-- You can choose where Dalvik cache should be saved. Go more info on Dalvik-cache, try googling n reading the wiki about it.Other things can remain the same......
---other tabs, you yourself can read & understand !!
Some more:
One thing to remember - sd-ext is like internal memory for phone, but phone can't find how much space is used or left in sd-ext. Titanium backup will help you there......
All third-party/system apps will tell that apps are installed in phone memory......you should understand that sd-ext is also like internal memory for phone and all other apps !!
Apps should be installed normally .......but your free space in internal memory will remain the same even after installing apps.....you'll notice that ur sd-ext space will be reducing........
Phone can't find how much space is left in sd-ext but titanium backup will help you to know !!
If you find decrease in phone memory even when a2sd in enabled, use a2sd gui to reinstall all app to sd-ext.....u can also type this command in terminal emulator :
su
a2sd reinstall
More over one should not move apps to sdcard in 'application settings' when using a2sd !!
These are few things that i'm trying to add:
Trying to add few requests by some users!!

DeOdexing is the process of re-bundling that uncompressed critical data (.odex files) back into your compressed .apk (& .jar) files, so that now all of the data is included in the .apk files necessary to run your applications without the presence of .odex files
In addition all the data is now included within the .jar files necessary to utilize your framework components without .odex files. In a DeOdexed file structure, there are no odex files present.
What is the benefit of DeOdexing?
Deodexing doesn't speed your phone up or do anything of the sort.
It is simply something that is necessary to be able to theme a stock ROM.
Theoratically it should slowdown phone but practically it is negligible.
zipaliging is the process of reorganizing the manner in which the .apk is packaged to optimized it for being parsed faster by the android OS, it is comparable if not better than the odex file structure, so you get the best of both worlds; a themed ROM and the speed of an optimized file structure.
If one can implement all things properly phone will defenately speed up.
i will also make custom rom... but in my vacation. till i will use others.

edit: already posted the ans !! any way i'm posting it !!
Harassing ?? Not at all !! i have no problem dude !!
Well, i don't think flashing will affect your phone because i'll have to do it many a times a day and not just 4 times !!
When ever i try and flash my ROM and many a time it'll get struck at boot screen. So i'll be restoring/flashing it many a times a day !
Still thats my view.....i dunno really !
Deodexing.........in simple terms it is like this:
Our phone splits the apks and jars (only system apks and jars) into '.odex' files for fast processing of those files ..........but when the app is split into .apk/.jar file and .odex file, it not possible to edit them and make changes. when those files are deodexed or when we flash a deodexed ROM, the two files, '.odex' file and '.apk/.jar' are combined together and we will have only the apk or jar file and not the .odex file.......hence it makes editing or modifying possible. Also,only because of this, deodexed ROM takes some more time to boot!!
So because of this we can say that it related to theming........that too 'native' theme and not just Launcher' theming which are provided by GO Launcher etc.
I hope you understand...........!! Now any one can easily make themes for our phone !! just edit framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk, modify,test and upload !!

You can uninstall the app by opening it and choosing cleanser control - removal - uninstall. The Complete removal option removes the directory and zip from sdcard.

Your right, it's because of system mounted as read only. I will update it as soon as I can but for now remove by entering this in terminal emulator
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/priv-app/com.hinxnz.cleanser.apk
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
Edit: App has been updated to fix this now.
latest version is working on a GT-I9195 , S4 mini (except restarting)
nice work, keep it up :good:
Can this be updated, it used to work fine on my OnePlus One with TWRP Manager 2.8.4 but with the recovery being updated to 2.8.5.0, it doesn't work anymore...

I can't because it's related to twrp and not this mod, same goes with the HTC Sensation using twrp.
You could report this to the twrp developers to be fixed.
For now, you could either flash back twrp 2.8.4.x or try use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select in mod but it's tricky.
I'm not able to use this anymore while using multirom utility. Here is the link to multirom recovery page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-multirom-v26-t2835738
It won't work on any of the twrp version. I think the issue is with this app itself. Don't think they are going to change the codes on twrp. I really like this app and I'd love to have it fixed. Thanks.

I think it has to do with twrp lockscreen but not sure, apparently it can be fixed kernel side.
I did not create the aroma binary used in the aroma installer, @amarullz created it and will know what needs to be done to fix it.
I found a way to use it with trwp, that is alot easier than using volume buttons to navigate and power to select, is that you need to quickly simultaneously tap what you select using your index and middle fingers alternately.
On HTC Sensation, another way is to simultaneously alternately tap the home key (or any capacitive button) with one finger and what you want to select with another finger, which is probably even easier.
will this work with CM11?

App removal and some app functions won't work.
You can open cm11 rom.zip and manually remove apps you don't need before flashing.

It doesn't even go to the app screen to use the volume rockers or the power button with 2.8.6.0 atleast on Oneplus One

Volume up a few times then down usually works for me but my other suggestion is far easier, a few posts above.
It's tricky to work out sometimes but you could use CWM recovery instead.
Works beautifully on my Xperia M single sim!
OP updated with new version to fix cleanser script when system read only, which fixes survival mode.
Detach3
Introduction
This Magisk module is for detaching apps from the Google Play Store.
It removes your defined packages from the 'Manage apps and device" section and disables them from auto-updates.
Installation
Flash module in Magisk Manager only.
Not necessary to reboot after flashing this module.
This module is designed to flash as many times as you like.
It is configured with a *configuration file. You can create one before flashing this module to define your package(s) or the default one will be used instead, which detaches YouTube by default.
Add your package name(s) you would like to detach to the configuration file, with each package name on a new line.
You can add more package names to your configuration file or the default one at any time, then simply just flash module again to apply it. Again, no need to reboot or any other user interaction needed.
Read the log that Magisk Manager displays when flashing the module, it displays the detached package(s) for confirmation.
*Configuration file: /storage/emulated/0/Android/detach.cfg
Reattach
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-detach3-detach-market-links.3447494/post-84951411
Scheduler
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-detach3-detach-market-links.3447494/post-84981039

Frequenly Asked Questions
Spoiler: Click to expand
Q. Can I use the old detach.txt?
A. No, I decided to ditch it. It now uses a new method explained in the installation section.
Q. Where is the boot script installed?
A. No boot script is needed for detaching, everything is done while flashing the module.
Q. Does this break safetynet?
A. No, it doesn't conflict with safetynet at all.
Q. Why shouldn't I re-enable Play Protect?
A. It will interfere with the module's purpose.
Q. Will having Play Protect disabled, open me up to vulnerabilities?
A. No, the playstore scans their market apk's after developers upload them.
Q. I usually install after-market apks (modified ones) and I think play protects me from this?
A. You should scan your unknown apk with Total Virus.
Q. How do you find a package name?
A. Magisk Manager lists your apps with the package name underneath each one, in the Magisk Hide list.
Q. What Magisk version is needed?
A. The module template is designed for Magisk v20.4+
Q. Do I need to uninstall previous version before updating?
A. No, unless stated. Just flash updated version.
Q. Do auto-updates still work for all my other apps that aren't detached?
A. Yes, auto-update and other notifications etc still work.

Detach Market Links for Theme Ready Apps *
Introduction
This Mod is for detaching apps from the Google Play Store that are included in the Theme Ready Apps zip and/or aroma installer from Team Black Out for CMTE and Substratum theme engines.
*Now also includes majority of all themed apps by Team Black Out by using an optional txt file.
The purpose is that updates will not show in your update list and also in update notifications from the Google Play Store.
This allows you to auto-update or the ability to use the update all button without the worry of updating Theme Ready Apps which will break your themes for those apps updated.
The Google apps that are detached if you're not using the optional txt file are Gmail, Google App, Google Plus, Hangouts, YouTube and Gboard (Google Keyboard).
Installation
Flash Mod in recovery, no need to wipe anything but if using SuperSU systemless mode or Magisk, flash this mod afterwards.
No need to flash again in-between ROM updates if using SuperSU systemless mode or Magisk or if your ROM supports addon.d scripts.
To detach more themed apps, place the detach.txt file either on root of your sdcard or internal storage and remove the comment from the apps you wish to detach and then flash Detach.zip
You can also use the optional detach.txt file to just selectively detach Theme Ready Apps.
If you don't use the supplied detach.txt file, only Theme Ready Apps will be detached.
To add your own custom packages (apps), read here > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72194332&postcount=147
Uninstallation
Rename detach.txt on sdcard to detach.remove, flash Detach.zip again and reboot.
This will remove all files related to installation, including the txt and custom file and restores all market links.
Note
If not using SuperSU or Magisk, you need to have init.d support.
The configured script doesn't execute until after 60 seconds when boot has completed, this also includes the remove script too.
This Mod has been tested by myself on Android 6 and 7.
You still have the ability to update your Theme Ready Apps via Google Play Store but you'll need to use the search function instead.

Report 1.3: My theme ready gapps were detached except Google Calendar. I installed Black Google Calendar from TBO. Is there something I can do for this?

I was thinking about adding more themed apps to detach but would have to either use a config file on sdcard for example or probably better to make an aroma version but I would need all the package names first.

I think a "fulfilled" config file is simpler. So the users have just to add/remove '#' symbol.
For the name of the apps, maybe you can ask to TBO.

Is there any reason you are using a dynamically linked sqlite in your zip? the error the user is getting is because of that I believe. Idk I would try to use a static sqlite binary. Ill attach one so you/someone can have, but in case anyone is curious how to quickly compile sqlite3 statically ill post it in the spoiler tags below.
oh and just to note, I forgot to rename it from sqlite3 to sqlite before uploading
Im not going to explain the lines though, pretty straight forward imho
/opt/androideabi is my ndk toolchain prefix
Code:

SYSTEMLESS DevBase has been developed and physically tested on S7 Edge (G935F), so main thread containing the most detailed description you can find here:
>> [SAMSUNG][6.0+] SYSTEMLESS DevBase | Encryption support | Stock OTA updates <<
However, it should work on ALL SAMSUNG DEVICES running Android 6.0+, so if you are Galaxy S6 Edge (G925xx) owner - please place your feedback & discussion here to let me know about device-specific issues or to let me know that everything works perfect
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you tired with traditional custom ROMs?
Do you miss custom ROMs but you would like to have encrypted /data (for privacy/security reasons)?
You are in the right place! I present you SYSTEMLESS DevBase - an SYSTEMLESS equivalent of my previous work (for older devices)
Prerequisites:
- Samsung device running stock or stock-based Android 6.0+ (mandatory!)
- Rooted device - SuperSU v2.76+ installed in SYSTEMLESS mode (mandatory!) (*)
- Stock, untouched /system partition (not mandatory, but recommended for working OTA)
- Stock recovery (not mandatory, but recommended for working OTA)
(*) NOTE: The latest CF-Auto-Root image for G925F contains SuperSU v2.74 which does not support SYSTEMLESS solutions (su.d is not triggered early enough). It is NOT enough to update it via PlayStore to the newest version and update su binaries! You need to update it using TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP from THIS STABLE or THIS BETA thread. Alternatively you can use "EverRoot" -> "Inject SuperSU" option in FlashFire even if you are rooted already by CF-Auto-Root (it will update SuperSU in the same way as flashing ZIP).
SYSTEMLESS DevBase:
1. Benefits / main features:
- Works with encypted /data partition
- Working official OTA updates! (see Tips & Tricks)
- Does NOT perform any phisical modifications in /system
- Does NOT perform any additional changes/patches to the kernel
- Removed KNOX warnings (systemlessly removed SecurityLogAgent)
- It contains SYSTEMLESS BusyBox (bionic, the most stable and respected release)
- It allows you to easily modify most of files & apps in your /system - SYSTEMLESSLY (see Tips & Tricks)
- It does not interfere with Magisk! You can use Magisk in paralell with SYSTEMLESS DevBase if you need it for your favorite module.
2. Systemless Safe De-Bloat (more info below):
What does it mean and why is it called "safe"?
- ONLY apps available in stores will be systemlessly removed from the ROM, so you can easily (re)install any of these app if you like
- ONLY pre-installed system apps are will be systemlessly removed, DevBase installer never touch any updated app nor app installed manually from store
Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. If you install my SYSTEMLESS DevBase directly over working stock ROM - in most cases almost all these apps will remain untouched, because almost all apps have been updated already (stored on /data). But then you will be able to remove any useless app using the "Application manager" -> [Name_Of_App_To_Remove] -> MORE -> Uninstall updates. NOTE: App will disappear arter reboot and will be visible even in Titanium Backup!
2. If you perform "Wipe data" directly before installing SuperSU and my SYSTEMLESS DevBase (before you let to install app's updates) - then all apps listed below will be removed. If you would like to use any of these apps - just install it manually from appropriate store. Installed manually app will not be removed during the next DevBase update or re-install.
Removed apps list (depends on the device, should cover all devices starting from Galaxy S5):

NEW! Safe De-Bloat feature automatically detects and systemlessly removes apps not listed above, but present in your CSC package
3. Systemless CscFeature MOD (enabled some built-in, hidden features):
- Added shutter sound menu in Camera app
- Sending/receiving MMS without data on
- Show SMS/MMS sending time instead of receiving
- Added "Exit Internet" option to stock browser
- Added call button in Phone Logs (**)
- Added "Call/Message block" option in Settings
- Added symbols as secondary keys in Samsung keyboard (**)
- Call Recording (manual control, added "Record" button)
(**) may not work starting from Android 7.0 Nougat
Installation:
1. FlashFire app (recommended ***):
- Open file using "Flash ZIP or OTA" option
- UNTICK "Mount /system read/write" [extremely important for working OTA!]
- Enable "EverRoot" -> "Inject SuperSU" option if necessary (see NOTE above (*))
- Tap "FLASH"
2. TWRP recovery:
- Tap "Keep Read Only" on the Welcome screen [extremely important for working OTA!]
- Open file using "Install" option (use extSdCard or OTG storage in case of encrypted /data)
- Confirm flash by swiping right
- Tap "Reboot System"
NOTE1: One additional auto-reboot may be performed at first boot. It is not a bug (may be required for systemless build.prop support - see Tips & Tricks for more explanations)
NOTE2: Do not worry about red "mount /data failed..." messages displayed in TWRP in case of encrypted /data (installer will do the work anyway!)
(***) As far as I know - FlashFire is the only flashing tool with full access to /data during flash in case of encrypted devices. It is also the only tool which allows you to perform full backup/restore of partitions, including encrypted /data. It does NOT require custom recovery to work!

Note:
Check MD5 sum BEFORE flash (useful TOOL), because flashing damaged or incomplete ZIP files can lead to issues! Correct MD5 sum is shown on the AndroidFileHost website while downloading.

Tips & Tricks
1. OTA updates:
- Basically, the only thing you need to take OTA update is to perform "Full unroot" in the SuperSU app. However, a better way is to use "unroot2ota" terminal command, because this will not remove DevBase boot script from /su/su.d and the only thing you will need to re-activate SYSTEMLESS DevBase (and all your systemless MODs) after performing OTA update is just re-root your device with CF-Auto-Root.
- If you flashed custom recovery like TWRP - it is mandatory to restore your stock recovery (otherwise OTA will not work). You can do it using FlashFire app (the easiest way) - just open recovery.img file (extracted from your original FW) using "Flash firmware package" option, disable "Preserve recovery" option and then tap "FLASH". EDIT: Starting from version v1.2 there is a new "unroot2ota" feature which allow you to restore stock recovery using /system/recovery-fromm-boot.p file. There is no guarantee to perform it successfully (even if there is no error message) but in most cases it works well (tested on Nougat beta). Please go to recovery before you try to get OTA to check if you have stock recovery already after performing "unroot2ota" (if not - you need to use PC Odin to flash recovery.img packed in tar file).
- It is recommended to temporarily disable "Auto-update apps" in Play Store settings before you unroot your device. It will prevent updating applications covered by Safe De-Bloat list, as there apps will temporarily appear until you re-root the phone after performing OTA update.
Note (devices which use dm-verity): You should never allow /system modifications in TWRP, never allow to remount /system r/w in any app (e.g. Root Explorer, FlashFire, etc.) and never flash a ZIP file which could modify your /system or remount it r/w. Failure to follow these recommendations will break dm-verity verification and will cause, that your device may not be able to boot with the stock kernel (you will need to re-flash your original FW using PC Odin to make your device bootable).
2. Making your own modifications:
- You can systemlessly replace any existing system app by modded one. Just put modified app to /data/devbase/system/app or /data/devbase/system/priv-app and then reboot your device
- You can systemlessly replace jar or apk in /system/framework. Just put modified one to /data/devbase/system/framework and then reboot your device (NOTE: framework support has been added for advanced users -> there is high risk of bootloop if you do something wrong!)
- You can systemlessly add or override any line in /system/build.prop. Just put (only new or changed) line to /data/devbase/system/build.prop and then reboot your device (NOTE: one additional auto-reboot will be performed if /data/devbase/system/build.prop file has been added, modified or removed. It is not a bug - it is required for the changes in /data/devbase/system/build.prop to take effect!)
- You can systemlessly replace any existing file in /system/csc and /system/etc (but NOT in subdirectories). Just put modified copy of a file to /data/devbase/system/csc or /data/devbase/system/etc and then reboot device
Limitations: original app or file MUST physically exist with the same name in /system, you can NOT add a new app or file this way!
Example 1 (Ad-Blocking): Download the latest Ad-Blocking ZIP installer from THIS thread. Extract "hosts" file (placed in /system/etc inside ZIP file), then copy it to /data/devbase/system/etc, set rw-r--r-- (644) permissions and then reboot device
Example 2 (modded SystemUI): Create "SystemUI" directory in /data/devbase/system/priv-app and then put modified "SystemUI.apk" file into it. Set rwxr-xr-x (755) permissions to "SystemUI" directory, rw-r--r-- (644) permissions to "SystemUI.apk" and then reboot device
Example 3 (De-Bloating a bit more): You can just create empty directories in /data/devbase/system/app (or priv-app) corresponding to applications in /system/app (or priv-app). Alternatively (more advanced method), you can add an app to modded enforceskippingpackages.txt file (you can find it in /data/devbase/system/etc or /data/devbase/system/csc_contents, depending on the original location in /system) and increase number in the 1st line. Second method should not be used by beginners (without a basic knowledge related to UNIX text format)
3. How to manually maintain the newest ROM version:
If you do not care about OTA - you can manually update your device to the newest ROM available @ Sammobile, keeping your original CSC (you need multi-file original FW, I mean separate files for BL/AP/CP/CSC). You need to download 2 ROMs: ROM with the newest changelist and the latest ROM containing your original CSC. Extract both and open in PC Odin BL/AP/CP files from the ROM with highest changelist but open CSC file from the ROM containing your CSC (I recommend to use HOME_CSC_* file to avoid auto-wipe-data). Flash such "mix", re-root and enjoy
Reserved
There is new version available

- Added "Please DO NOT wipe /cache" warning in case of encrypted devices and TWRP recovery
- Minor changes & optimizations in the shell code
- Added SYSTEMLESS DevBase uninstaller
Download link:
>> SYSTEMLESS_DevBase_v1.1.zip <<
Since new version has many more features -> there are more possibilities of bootloop (especially if you are playing with framework mods). I have created DevBase remover to let you get out from bootloop. Of course uninstaller does NOT "know" which mod caused the problem, so it will not remove any file from /data/devbase directory, it will remove only /su/su.d/0000000devbase boot script to make your device bootable (again) so you can manually delete problematic mod:
>> SYSTEMLESS_DevBase_remover.zip <<
Another update:
v1.3:
- Fixed CscFeature MOD (e.g. G920I case, now should work with all Samsung devices/variants)
v1.2:
- Added info in Settings/About device/Software info/Build number (can be overrided by editing /data/devbase/system/build.prop)
- unroot2ota: added ability to restore stock recovery using /system/recovery-from-boot.p file (no guarantee)
- unroot2ota: check /system partition for common modifications before unroot
- Minor changes & improvements in the shell code
