nls_utf8.ko for CM6.1.0-Liberty + init.d script

This can make filenames with special characters to be shown correctly when using cifs.
The module was extracted from the kernel in this post.
The script I wrote would load modules by insmod. You can select which modules to load on boot by editing the config file located at /data/init.insmod.conf.
The config file will be re-generated after delete / data wipe.
The attached file is also hosted here

With cm6, you must also install the GAPPS add on for Google apps.

Is there a way to permanently install Touchwiz task manager on cm10?

I hate having to copy the apk to system/app, changing the permissions, and rebooting the phone every time I update with nightly which is like every other day

You could add it to the ROM before you flash it. Not sure this would save you any time though.

I doubt that my friend CM roms are pretty versatile but the base there content on pure performance and awesome mods I doubt they will ever add this permanently. You can try make it a flash zip so when you update the ROM you can flash TWM right after

Yes, you'll need to create a flashable zip that implements the addon.d scripting supported in CM builds.
Look here for some examples of how it's done.
Take one of the zips, and open it up (7-zip is my preference), drop your apk into \system\app (delete whatever other apks are in that folder).
Next, rename the script in \system\addon.d to something like 94-twm.sh and then edit the section under list_files() so that it looks like this:
Code:
list_files() {
cat <<EOF
app/nameofyourtwmapk.apk
EOF
}
Obivously replace nameofyourtwmapk.apk with the real name of the apk you're flashing.
Now flash your zip in CWM. This will install your apk in /system/app and the script in /system/addon.d so that every time a new CM rom is flashed the install script will backup and restore your apk.
This is exactly how CM handles backing up and restoring the gapps during a CM flash.

Great explanation schmitty! I knew about the addon.d restore for gapps, but wouldn't've had a clue on how to include any personal additions. Thanks!

I followed your instructions exactly and it didn't work. Do I need to edit the manifest or something also? I used the Nova Launcher 1.3.1 zip.

What didn't work? Any error in CWM? Need details in order to help. Maybe post the zip you built so we can have a look.

After several tries, I've finally got it to work.
Posting here for other people who want it.

thanks
Thanks man! I really like this stock task manager better also... just like its simple features, works quickly, clears memory, uninstaller, etc... so, thanks for this! Nice to be able to add it to my roms...

[ZIP] Empty Flashable Kernel Zip Template

Some people aren't sure how to create a flash-able zip. So here is a template zip file.
If you want to edit the updater-script (what shows up in recovery when you choose the .zip to flash. It it's in META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, edit with notepad++, and edit in between the parentheses ui_print("Put Your Text Here");
add your boot.img to the spot where there is already a boot.img and replace it with yours
Most Kernels require different system/libs/modules
I added a spot for you to add these as well.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668275619
No need to seek permission for this or give any credits. Just something for those who need it.

Saved.

Boot animation not working

I made a boot animation, and tried installing it using various methods. First I copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media. Phone booted fine, but it only showed the Google boot logo (not my animation). I also tried copying it to /data/local, same results. I tried making a flashable zip, but when I tried flashing it in CWM it just said "Installing update… Installation aborted." I have also tried flashing the same animation on the Moto G with same methods, and same results.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you make the zip without compression? It can't be compressed.

Yes, I used the Keka app for Mac and set it to Store (no compression). I might try some other compression apps.

I guess you didn't sign your zip file.
I always use the same structure for my boot animation so here are the differences with yours. Some of them don't matter though.
1. Into your zip, you have a folder bootanimation => you should directly have your partX folders and desc.txt
2. What is .DS_Store?
3. Naming:
part0 => 000.png / 001.png / 002.png....
part1 => 003.png / 004.png / 005.png....
4. desc.txt:
Code:
1080 1920 15
p 1 5 android
p 0 0 part1
Replace "android" by "part0"
BTW the second number is the delay between loops (in milliseconds) so "5" seems useless.

Thanks for the feedback! I tried changing the structure of the zip file as you suggested, same results. DS_Store is an annoying hidden file Mac OS makes, I deleted it. I also changed the desc.txt. Still not working.
Would signing the zip make a difference?

The bootanimation.zip shouldn't be signed. Upload your new version and I'll have a look on my phone.

Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/df7v0u1niexpvcd/bootanimation.zip?dl=1
It works now on my phone. I removed several png files (for testing purpose) because I resized them to 1080x1920.
I also changed desc.txt and removed DS_store file.
Copy this zip file into /system/media/ with 0644. Reboot.

[ROM][D850] Stock Bumped Marshmallow v30a [2017-02-09]

This zip is a pure stock firmware with no extra stuff added! Only the boot.img is bumped and the modem is hybrid(v30 + v20 to make bump compatible).
Features:
Added from the stock v30 base:
system.img
modem.img - hybrid one(contains v30 + v20 stuff)
boot.img - bumped
rpm.img
tz.img
cust.img
selinux is permissive
How to install:
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache for a clean install.
Flash D850_V30_Bumped.zip
For root:
SuperSU - flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip.(No SafetyNet pass).
MagiskSU - get it from the official magisk thread.(Passes SafetyNet).
Reboot
Downloads:
v30A [2017-02-09] - Click here to download (MD5: 95ff1dd2e38439e2dea3c46f4a49c3ee)
BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip - Click here to download
SharpeningMOD fix - Click here for thread
Mirrors are welcome because this is most probably the first and the last firmware that will come to the D850. It will be good if someone share a picture of about-phone that shows the software info
Modems:
v30A + v20A - Click here to download
v20A - Click here to download
Q&A:
What's different in the hybrid modem?
Check this post - click here
How is this different to other MM stock rom's out there?
This not an extracted system.img rom like others. It contains extracted .kdz files and just flashes them. Permissive selinux is included, alongsite 3 build.prop changes to make for better compatibility(this is an D850PR kdz). Nothing else, no tweaks, no other stuff added.
What does [2017-02-09] mean?
That's build date of the kdz(can be checked in build.prop, kernel build date...)
These are the build.prop changes:
Code:
ro.build.target_country=[B]COM[/B]/ro.build.target_country=[B]US[/B]
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=[B]0[/B]/telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=[B]1[/B]
ro.product.locale=en-[B]GB[/B]/ro.product.locale=en-[B]US[/B]

Thanks man! Great work!

Noob Question: I am on Stock KitKat ROM with KitKat Modem. To upgrade into this, do I also need to flash the hybrid modems as well, then flash this ROM? Or the MM ROM already has the modem on it, and do I just need to flash the ROM?

The modem is already included in the full zip. I don't think you will have any problem. Most partitions from kdz are already included, so it should work fine. If not you must update to LP but that's only if this doesn't work.

Dear OP,
Please add Theme engine support to Stock Launcher, rest is awesome.

Hello. It's strange because it's there but I guess just disabled. LGHome is the same like other variants. Do you use xposed? With xposed there may be an easy fix but without it need to investigate little more.

I am not using Xposed, and kept rom completely stock.
But Theme engine is not available.

Try to download my rom which is the same for d850. And check the permissions folder. U will find the difference in size. I can't remember which exact file is for theme (it can be com.lge.permissions.xml but i'm not 100% sure)...

All files from that folder are the same.
Do you use d850 system from kdz? Because all apk files are different.
