Just a lil braggin thread
---
So I got:
X-Note 5.1 @ 320 dpi (all bloatware removed)
AC!D sound mod
Simplistic Framework + Simplistic Control for Note 3
XPosed Framework + Various modules (Xprivacy, Wanam, XBlast, ICSAppPicker, etc.)
AOSP Browser (modded to have Startpage and Startpage Mobile as search engines available)
SuperUser 1.65
Busybox 1.21.1 for armv71 (you wanna get the one from busybox.net for maximum commands - the one from stericson or so often miss some commands)
Appsi (as Sidebar Launcher for apps)
Switchr (as Task Switcher + Home button is set to switch between the last 2 apps with simplistic)
Will also get themer for homescreen. (as far as I understand it's just a "homescreen" launcher?) - used lightning drawer in the past. (allows maximum customization too, but not so easy theming I think)
----
All with my knox warranty still intact! (unfortunately I cannot make photos myself, only got the note, no other camera, and when I'm out I dont really thing about stuff like making a photo of my own phone lol)
(check my other threads if you want to know how this is possible)
---
What do you think is missing in my setup still? (apart from custom kernel, and recovery off course - but dont wanna trip that knox just yet)
aww I shouldve kept my mouth shut... after setting everything up and trying to use wifi for the first time i cant get no ip assigned from my router somehow ... sigh - too much customization.
I think its because of deinstallation of so much "bloatware" or a permissions thing. ARGH :silly:
You know you can take screenshots right?

He doesn't use TWRP. He has a thread about how he managed it.

He didn't. Mostly using adb to manually install the rom. It's how I install themes as well.

Did you use the x transformer app to change dpi? If so how did you set it to 320, the lowest I could set it to is 360.

i think he is talking about download mode, as that's where the knox binary counter is. And AFAIK you can't take screenshots in download mode, however I can be wrong as I have never tried it.

I got my DHCP fixed now, it was indeed a permissions problem. (some folders and files in /system/etc need special permissions which I overwrote in the process).
But one small problem remains so far: Cant connect with openvpn. It does not find the local adapter - any idea what could cause this?
When I try to connect it say udp local unbound, where actually should be a network interface right?
a guide with no proof....

right - I am taking all this time to provide false informations, maybe you got time to do this but I don't.
Why shouldnt it work? Its no damn rocket science to change some files in the system over adb, and knox does not care about the system partition! (at least as long as you dont try to odin flash a custom roms system img... this is not yet tested, but I believe as long as you leave out the kernel and recovery that you can flash custom system.img even through odin.. but I didnt wanna risk it yet..).
Its just a bit time consuming and you need to be careful not to overwrite certain files (some libs most notably - you will find out which in my other thread about how doin it). The permission fixing by hand is the most annoying part I can tell ya. (maybe this could be automated through a permission fixing script for all the important files etc..)

Go look at his thread man. Ppl tried it and found success. And just for the record he can't exactly post "proof". If he shows that he is running an custom rom and then shows that his knox is 0x0, he can obviously post a pic that was taken before flashing the rom or borrowed from someone else. So you just have to either take his word for it or try it yourself if you have been patient enough to not trip the knox binary counter.

If you still want to see how a non knox tripped download mode looks, google helps ya I'm sure! =)
With simplistic its also showing official in the telephone info (even with sysscope deinstalled) but in download mode it obviously says custom system. (which can be fixed to official if you flash the phone with kies, but this will also update the bootloaders - so only do it when you need to return the phone ever! Probably can just flash stock odin minus the bootloader files to get official status back too, but not sure)
What is acid sound mod??
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No clue what it actually does, but just installed it for the heck of it. (noonoxide too hehe, dunno if they are compatible togehter).
Those were the soundmods that were included in the xnote zip installer.

Still need to figure out why local udp is [undef] if I want to connect through openvpn .. anyone have an idea what might cause this?
Already tried disabling afwall and also xposed (xprivacy) to see if thats the cause but its not.
I'm thinking its a permission thing again....
UPDATE:
Can someone please tell me whether they have a folder called /system/lib/modules or not? (might be missing kernel modules here, so I want to find out if i maybe deleted it or smth... or if i need to manually install tun.ko for openvpn to work)

Even though there is no proof but I totally believe it cos what he explains makes sense. I have use the same adb methods to replace frameworks and apps for theming purpose with success and not tripping knox. So why wouldn't it work. All he did is just go the extra step and replace almost all the files from a custom rom.

thanks,
how about /system/app/mcRegistry and /system/app/pak - does anyone have these still?
If so please upload - I need to figure out if they are required for anything important.
(they are not included in odin image unfortunately)
My installer script is 99% ready but needs some more testing and some small additions (like beeing able to choose whether you want to clean /system/app and /system/framework and if you want to clean dalvik-cache etc. - but its working fine already, reinstalled xnote again from clean odin rdlv mj6 just with my script!)
I will make it so it can install basically all cwm scripts (well no aroma support, some files will need to be installed manually, or rather copied into the right folder to be installed then)

Have you tried xposed & appsettings?
I've just noticed the thread about it (XDA App haven't shown it to me or may I missed it). Will do a try, I only hope I won't make a mistake anywhere.

I use xposed an appsettings without any problem.
With the other solution (to change dpi in build.prop) you will have the problem that several apps seem to be incompatible and Play Store won't update these "incompatible" apps any longer.

So... Setting 217 DPI will cause problems with updating apps such as jakdojade.pl or something like that? God damn it, I hoped, I would have a bit smaller interface like One S has.
And thanks for the feedback.

Personally, I had no update issues in reducing the dpi to 217 in build.prop
The only problem is that some apps will look glitchy (sense interface, torch), for them you'll need to set dpi back to 240, using something like appsettings for xposed framework

Good. I've tried installing Xposed Framework to get Appsettings module, but then I've been spammed with illegal information. Do I have to install busybox? Or may I just forgot to set system rw in ES File Explorer... I just realised that might be the solution.
EDIT: Well... That haven't worked either. Only app_process have been patched. If I will push xposedbridge by myself, then it should work?
EDIT2: Okay, that haven't changed anything.. Any idea?

I had the same problem
I'm bumping up this thread again, because I tried to take a DPI one step lower, so it means - 216 DPI. I have to tell, that the interface looks much better than it was on 217. The notification icons are sharper and all the icons and texts are sharper too. I really recommend to try it.
(I didn't want to make a new thread, so I posted it here.)
I find 216 still too large for my liking. I've been running 200 for a while without any issues. It's a good balance.
I am also using the multi-dpi version of google play so no probs there either.
The ONLY minor issue is that it cuts off the bottom of the 'Recent Apps' (the part showing the app name) which isn't a big deal for me at all as I can see what the app is anyway.
1)Does using xposed modules affect the performance of your phone!?
2)Does "per app dpi" module work well in kitkat 4.4.2?
3)Is it recommended to even restore the xposed framework+modules via titanium after flashing a "different" rom?
4)Why does fixing permission restore the modifications done via xposed to some apps?
5)are the modification codes injected into the rom or they run over it(sorry if i sound like a noob,i am one)?

1) for some people for no known reason
2) yes, app settings
3) Same as any other app restore. Who cares, do what you want
4) Didn't know it did. "fix permissions" is not a good thing to do. Avoid it at all costs
5) Read the xposed thread. they are not injected (thats the whole point)

Xposed runs on top, not changing code. Gravity box only supports pure AOSP. The code Gravity box changes is not the same if not AOSP so some things work, some do not.
Dont fix permissions. Recovery doesnt know what permissions should be so it guesses. Bad

Instructions for Rooting.
First and foremost....A HUGE thanks to @geohot for our current root method. If you have not done so, please donate to him. Also this will only work on the NCG build. You must start form here then you can update to newer builds. Check the forums
- See here for his OP
- Once you have completed the instructions and used Towelroot. Let's get us some SuperSu on it!!
6/16/14 For now please download the following zip located HERE and extract the SuperSU.apk from the "Common" Folder in the ZIP and sideload the app. 6/18/14 Play Store version of SuperSU has bene updated and will update the binariy. Download SuperSU from playstore HERECredit to @Chainfire for SuperSU
- Enable USB Debugging if you have not done so Already in Developer Options. I've heard this helps when installing the binary To enable Developer Options go into Settings > About phone and tap on your build number 7 times.
- Once SuperSU is installed Open it.
- It will state that Samsung KNOX is detected and ask to disable it. The choice is yours, but I let it disable.
- Next you will need to update your binary. The choice are "Normal" or "TWRP/CWM". You MUST choose "Normal" as TWRP and CWM require unlocked bootloaders which we do not have as of now.
- Download Root Checker form the Play Store HERE
- Once you have verified you have root CONGRATS!!
Please keep in mind this only works for Devices with a Kernel Build Date older then 06/03/2014.
UPDATE 8/8/14 - Rooting the NE9 Update
- a step by step Guide for rooting NE9 is available thanks to member @muniz_ri along with other members. I personally have not used it yet but many have. See his OP and thread located HERE
UPDATE 12/9/14 - Rooting the NI2 Update
- Basically it is the same as rooting the NE9 build. For a detailed guide please see this link HERE. Credits to @JTidler for the post.
Instructions for Installing Safestrap Recovery
Until everything is 100% I will just post the link to hashcode's thread for the S5. Please keep in mind that this is ONLY FOR THE VERIZON S5. ATT users, DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT flash Safestrap. Hashcode illicitly says not to in his thread. If you want up to date info on ATT Safestrap I suggest following Hashcode on twitter.
First and foremost you need to know what exactly safestrap is before proceeding.
Credit to Hashcode
"WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.7.1.x (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (probably only 1 on the S5 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /system, /data and /cache partitions. The defaults *SHOULD* be good enough for flashing the stock-based ROMs.
NOTE: The bigger you make these partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore."

Running List and How-To For Debloating Apps
I personally recommend 2 Apps to remove bloat. I will list instruction for Titanium Backup (TiBu)
1) Titanium Backup I use this 99% of the time. Please buy the PRO version and support great developers.
2) Root Explorer
To uninstall bloat. Open TiBu and select the middle option for "Backup/Restore"
Select the app you wish to remove
Select Un-install!
Poof!! no more bloat app.
Here is a list of apps safe to remove that will not cause you to have to have issues. This is how they appear in TiBuThis list will grow with time. Remember remove them at your own risk

Instructions for getting Xposed Module installed
Please keep in mind this is to be used at your own risk.
Visit the Xposed XDA thread HERE for all you need about installing Xposed Framework.
To install:
Download the latest Xposed APK
Select Framework
Hit Install/Update
Reboot Phone
Once installed I recommend the following Downloads form within Xposed
Wanam (Specific for Touchwiz modifications) Get it through Xposed or Get it HERE. You will get most of the nice UI tweeks you like form your favorite custom roms (Circle Battery, Center Clock, Etc etc)
Enable The downloaded Module:
From the Xposed main page select Modules and check off the one you want to use. (in this case and example i'll use Wanam)
Reboot phone
Open Wanam app make changes through app and reboot for them to take effect.
isnt there already threads for this? also, i think you can b more clear on a few things.. for example when you extract supersu the apk is in the "Common" folder.. i think ppl would get confused by saying "sideload" lol believe it or not ppl will think its sokethin else when really it means install it haha.. other than that nice seein someone post instructions to hopefully not clutter other threads with non sense.

Thanks for the info
So when loading/sideloading .apk's to the phone, I would do that through Odin, correct? I get used to being able to do everything through CWM, haven't used Odin since rooting my SIII. Thanks again for the this thread.

no you just put the apk to sdcard in a download folder let's say. navigate to it through a file browser and install. just make sure you have unknown sources checked in your security settings

No.. lol sideloading means you download an apk and install it.. nothing special required.. thats y told op to b more clear on some of the verbiage since some ppl will get confused.. sideloading is downloading an apk and installing it.. not odin or cwm lmao

I can't seem to find the "unlimited multi view" option in Wanam that the devs suggested to fix the s health issue. Any thoughts?

Guy got back to me later on just didnt have a chance to update. Looks like that option fell out in their last update. Prior to us getting root. I suggest using the first post for fixing the lag. I worked for me

Need a SeLinux Permissive Kernel for S7Edge first. Have you found one?

Seems this guy has the answer on an enforcing kernel.

If you haven't seen this thread already, check it out. I successfully installed V4A on my 935F with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3335007
And FYI... it sounds fantastic!
You DON'T need permissive kernel for v4a any more..after hundereds of trials and errors I just downloaded newest apk from original v4a thread, put it in private-apps folder then set correct permitions rw-r-r, restarted device and it works flowellesly ! I have stock enforced kernel.

Tried hundered of ways here as well,
Mine just keeps asking to install the damn driver all the time mate, and even if installed, after reboot - it just asks again to install/update the driver again.
Tried with the su.policy zip flash as well. Still cant get it to work!
Tried with the MM compatible newest APK and placed it in Priv-app. Guess that's what you did too. Cant figure out what I'm missing here.
It happens to me also.That means you did NOT properly root device.Error with constant driver install is because busybox..I rerooted device ,wiped data for SU, and granted permission to busybox again.DO NOT use any other Viper app then original one from thread !

Youv'e been a lot helpful mate,
I think I'm getting somewhere, Could you please tell me which busybox did you use?
Is it the Stericsson version, or the Meefik ?
Stericsson one. I hac problems as you did and concluded the most simple one was the best..All that modded Viper apps doesn't do any use.Just use original one,give permissions in private-apps, restart device and that is it
which music players support this? cuz so far all i see is status normal processing no

Men! You put so much hope in my heart. Please, could you be so nice and prepare step by step to do list? I personally would ask you about 'give permissionso in private-apps'. Could you explain? Do you copy v4a to priv-apps? Where from? What permissions? And about busy box: when I open it it shows me that it is installed in su/xbin... in what folder did you install busybox? And one about reroot: did you go to su and choose: full unroot before flashing su again? And what about mount namespaces: checked or unchecked in su? Have to tell you that I've tried so much different ways and still v4a doesn't work. I would love to try your way but please put some lights here. Thanks!

I've tried my best, in all possible variables and finally decided to give up after wasting 3 straight days of a perfect weekend.
My Driver just doesn't stick and I've tried all alternative installation methods. I've kept backups of system/*.* so all damages were reversed without any flashing. Root, Busybox everything runs perfectly and tested everything for integrity.
So far I've cornered the issue to Systemless Root, which seems to be the only entity having issues with v4a. Until a proper answer is digged up, I'm gonna stick with my Note 5 which has this working on System-Mode Root. (The driver didn't stick on the Note 5 when I tried to use it with System-less) Luckily the Note 5 is still on LP, with Su 2.64.
Good Luck to those who are trying, and thanks to all who helped!

Yes. Actually there is a perfect package from @guitardedhero. You have to be rooted, busyboxed, twrp'ed. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3701983&d=1459364213
It is Viper Atmos Sony Beats edition working beautifully on ny S7E. Three more step to do after flashing: 1. freeze SoundAlive and AdaptSound, reboot. 2. go to system preferences and check whether Viper has memory access granted. 3. go to SuperSu and DISABLE 'Mount namespace separation', reboot. Done!
Btw. If you want to play with Profiles inside Viper, go to your internal memory using root explorer and inside Viper folder create folder called 'Profiles'.
Btw2. 6.0.1new abowe destroy your conf files. Hope you have backup.
Better flash @guitardedhero mod on fresh rooted rom. hope you enjoy.
Btw3. Sound is AMAZING!

Thanks for your reply!
Just after I asked for help here, i found a driverless package from @guitardedhero that worked! Glad to know you did it too, mate! :highfive:
Working but 10 second later turn normal mod
Why do you think's going on?
For example in youtube, 10 second viber4android active, later deactivate.

Hi all, I've had quite a few issues with Viper4android, including extreme battery drain (since installing my phone will drain from 80% to 0% overnight with no use), and inconsistent volume in various apps (Spotify only has about 60% volume output with random bursts to 100%).
How can I remove all of its components and revert back to stock? I'm guessing it's more involved than just reflashing the stock rom, perhaps I need radio files + others too
My phone is a Samsung s6 edge plus (SM-G928i).
Thank you all, and apologies if this is in the wrong place!

Actually, its much easier than reflashing your ROM (though that would work fine too)
All you have to do is hit the menu button/3 dot icons>uninstall drivers>reboot. And you're done.

This just removes the drivers, uninstalling the app after removing drivers and re-enabling your stock audio(if you had to remove/disable it), this should put you back to stock.

Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me how to re-enable my stock audio? I get the feeling this was removed during the installation process

By extracting a copy of the audioFX apk from your stock firmware
Or
By extracting it from a nandroid backup if you have one
Or
Find someone with your device and have them upload a copy of it.
Or
Find a copy with a Google search for:
"Audiofx.apk(or whatever the stock audio is called on your device) for (your model number and firmware version)
FYI, you would have had to manually remove or disable your stock audio yourself. It wouldn't have happened automatically, so if you yourself didn't remove/disable it then you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Did you flash V4A via recovery? Or did you install the app manually?
If you don't see the stock Equalizer in your app drawer then it was probably removed during installation of V4A (when done via recovery) but if it was installed manually then the equalizer app should still be installed/visible in your app drawer. All you have to do is open the app and toggle the on/off button.
If the app was removed though, you'll have to reflash your ROM to get it back.
NB 1. If stock EQ was already enabled, you might wanna disable it and give V4A another shot. As I've personally experienced issues with both of them enabled.
NB 2. Uninstalling the drivers practically kills the app. But you can go ahead and uninstall it as recommended by @Droidriven

I flashed a recovery file for it. So I might just take the easy route and reflash my rom I might give it another crack when I get my new phone in April / May!

Yep, my installations on all devices I've had have been via app which required me manually removing/disabling stock audio.
I've encountered installations on some devices that required using terminal emulator or adb shell to implement correctly, slightly tricky stuff that I don't remember the details for.

I'm guessing your stock EQ was deleted then.
Just flash your ROM and you should be fine. Keep in mind though that any other additions/modifications you made to your system partition will be overwritten.
Uninstall Flashed App - Viper4Android
Hey folks,
I am new to xda and so this question might not be appropriate for this particular thread -- I don't know, I guess I'll take my chance. So, upon rooting my android device last week I went ahead and downloaded the Viper4Android audio enhancer as a zip, and installed it through the TWRP recovery terminal. This flashed the app on the phone drive. However, the Viper4Android driver is not installing properly and all my attempts to fix that are going in vain, thus I think the best solution is to uninstall the app and install a new package following a specific xda thread instructions to the letter. So my question is how do I uninstall a flashed app? I can't seem to find the app folder when the installation files are located. The app is present in my app menu. I am a root user and have directory apps like Root Explorer, Magisk Manager, BusyBox, RomToolbox etc. Btw, I've read most of this thread, and it mainly discusses the removal of the drivers. (Which I presume never installed in my phone anyways, as Viper4Android never worked -- hence why I am looking to uninstall the whole thing, and try anew). I have a Moto g5 plus.
How should I proceed? What's the best tool to uninstall a flashed Viper4Android App?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
