I guess this is for windows only? I would love to have a look and see what and how can be translated to bash for linux. Great job!
Yes for windows only sorry
You are more than welcome to do that dax no problems at all, you could probably do a cleaner job of it

that option is not ready yet, it should show you some text explaining this, its for a future update when i get to finish the scripts, just needed feedback on the general tool first
Linux Version
Hi all sorry have not had internet for last couple of days due to router frying, had to order a new 1 from provider,
Am back now and just thougt i would let you know the linux version of this tool is nearing completion,
I have also pulled and utilised the latest version of apktool to add to it,
Should hopefully be ready for a test release soon, even sooner now i have the net back to hunt for bash script info,
when i was offline i was having to do it all by general knowledge of other scripts languages and the basics i already knew about bash,
but that said i managed to get the vitals working and set up now just fine tuning and testing then hopefully a release soon.
Linux Version Available

this is an updated* version of my framework mod that adds reboot (normal, hboot, recovery) option to the power-button menu on htc sense based desire roms
*: a new option ('hot restart') has been added that will allow you to respawn android's system server process, thereby starting with a "clean system" w/o actually rebooting the device (credits to xda member appelflap for the idea, you can have a look at his app 'hot reboot' here. i took a slightly different approach to killing the process but the basics remain the same)
enjoy
requirements:
htc sense based desire (froyo) rom (HD VERSION HERE)
deodexed framework libs
busybox with pkill support (or any other pkill implementation, accessible in $path)
how to install:
please make sure your device/setup meets the requirements above
check your framework build number (settings >> about phone >> software information >> build number)
download the archive that matches your build number
copy it to your sdcard and flash it in recovery mode (as always, it is advisable to do a nandroid backup prior flashing)
impact:
a framework lib (/system/framework/android.policy.jar) will be overwritten
the first boot after flashing this may take a (long) while (dexopt will be busy)

source code, porting to other htc devices:
due to the nature of the hack (patching a htc-modified, closed source framework lib) there is no "source code" for it
obviously, i also can't provide a smali patch applicable for any framework version / htc device
for reference, i've attached the smali patch for my own device/setup
it doesn't take a great deal to understand it, porting should be relatively straightforward. you should also take into account that string/icon resource ids may vary between different framework versions, and that some versions don't support com.android.internal.app.ShutdownThread.reboot()

I have a quick question, do i need the whole /framework deodexed or just the android.policy.jar?

Works on my Desire with LeeDrOiD V2.1a with Base HTC RUU 2.10.405.2.
But: after every hot reboot the function keys remain lit after the first power off (automatic or manual). After the 2nd, 3rd etc. power off not anymore. Very odd.
it works great man...thanks!!! i added it to my rom if you want to remove it please tell me
Thanks, great work! I just want to mention it the boot after flashing took a long time here, like 4 minutes which is strange.

PS. Of course credits will be given

Is it a way of adding this mod to non sense roms like Cyanogen has ?

cyanogenmod is an opensource project, there is no need for hacks like this (dalvik bytecode injected into a closed source lib) to implement missing features

Ok, thanks. Just to make sure - not whole deodexed is required, just android.policy.odex, right? Is it possible to edit this jar file and change the language of "Normal" etc... and here footprint is also required as in 3in1?

Thanks, makes life a little easier.
Actually, i have some commands which come in really handy when you use ubuntu on a tab.
sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk indicator-appmenu overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0
This will remove the global menus and that annoying scrollbar so you have to use your mouse/trackpad less often.
*edit: Hard reboot right after the install-part.
*edit2 git was missing on my ubuntu-install. I'd suggest you to add it to your apt-get line.
looked at the script, nice
Although not that i think you care but you might:

If you can get me like a guide or something to do that, i would love to. im working on something else right now, but should be able to do that really quick. next update will have an update feature to automatically check for updates.
i know this is a noob question (i think you wil get more off them since the one-click installer for windows)
- how to correctly use this script
- will this affect the working off my dualboot configuration (for one click installer)
very excited for this. is there a guide for this script or can we just execute?
download the script, right click on the file and mark it as an executable under properties.
open a terminal, ch to the folder you´ve downloaded the script and run
$sudo ./kernelupdater.sh
I would love to get Linux Mint (any flavor, but considering our hardware, prob LMDE or LXDE is most realistic, although IDK if any debian flav is compiled for ARM?) built into a flashable image. Ubuntu is wasted on a machine with limited RAM and a non-standard file system.
I am not a developer, but I certainly would help as much as possible any person who would like to get moving and use our hardware to its fullest extent!
Like I said, any interested parties, please PM me.

All,
Please find the attached Windows RT native binaries for Synergy (v1.3.8 stable). See the project homepage for more details:
http://synergy-foss.org/
Haven't found any issues so far with Synergy, however you must run 'launcher.exe' as Admin or some of the functionality won't work correctly (namely key strokes) . I have binaries for the latest beta version as well but only for the command line tools without a GUI - PM me if you'd like those instead but this one should suit everyone fine.
EDIT: I've added the binaries (and QT4 runtime) for Synergy 1.4.12 Beta. I personally don't like this version as much (more heavy weight and takes more effort to configure) but others have asked for it.. and it was a good test of the QT4 runtime port. Please don't ask me how to configure it, there is plenty of information on the synergy website on sorting out configuration issues.
Cheers!
nice! thanks!
Great, thanks!
Just wanted to say that I had left for sharemouse, but this brought me back!

I had a similar error with my dosbox port, I believe I fixed it by installing the vcredist for ARM, attached to this post. Even if it doesn't work it won't cause any harm.

Netham45 is correct. The import you're getting an error for is from MSVCP110.dll. Using the redistributable VC runtime should fix this problem. Classic 'dll hell' issue.
If installing the VC runtime doesn't solve the problem, let me know.
Cheers!
I'm sorry as I'm completely off topic, but.. whoa:

Any updates to this for 1.4.2? I'd love to get the encryption working across all machines.
latest version.
can we get the latest version?
1.3.8 is the latest _stable_ version. I've already built the binaries for the 1.4.10 beta version (command line only). Once 1.4.x comes out of beta.. I'll gladly look at at porting & posting it.

RT 8.1 Issue
Hi - Not sure if this is applicable to this post.
Thanks for uploading these, put me well on my way to making use of my Surface RT.
Trying to run Synergy on my RT 8.1 Surface.
Have jailbreak installed (successfully) , but I'm receiving an error when running the synergy executable.
Can't post a link to image here, but the error says:
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source."
Could this be perhaps because the synergy files were signed from RT 8.0?
Any help would be much appreciated at this point, as i'd really love to get this working!!
Would love to give this a try but all I get is a QtGui4.dll not found error. I've tried finding a source for this DLL online but can't find one that is properly compiled for my Surface RT. Is the OP still around with the proper file that might be added to the post?

I'm sorry @Dark Wraith, but is this not another nail in the coffin that was a developer's community? I'm not cheapening the hard work you've obviously put in creating this tool, it's an achievement for sure but to what end? I know this toolkit argument has been had many times before (and someone has to say it first here), but how does this actually help anyone learn the basics? Xda is full of people who just want the results without the work and surely this only encourages more of the same?

No need to apologize.You have every right to criticize. In my defense i would say that when i wanted to make a kernel..i used championswimmer's kernel tools..i used dxdia's kitchen to work on Roms but that doesnt mean i took a shortcut..i used a toolkit out there to get started. I still had to learn stuff to make changes to a kernel/Rom and i was intrigued by the idea of how the tool was working. And while studying Dxdia's sources i actually came to know about a lot more than i would have done myself. many people want to know how to build a kernel and then they get discouraged if they feel its tough..yes..there will be people who will use it as a shortcut..but there will also be people who would start kernel building because a tool is out there to help them or atleast get them started.
p.s.Sorry for no punctuation marks..comma doesnt work on my laptop...:silly:

actually i learnt alot by viewing the content of tools, viewing it in raw format and learning how things work.
it encouaged me to find a way to make a kitchen for windows users and noobs.
so i guess im the perfect example

You have every right to express your opinion, but that being said, your post makes you sound like a real elitist, one who's upset that his elevated place in the exclusive club is about to be disrupted by those "filthy ruffians" who didn't earn their developer's chops by clawing their way up from the gutter. In my opinion, anything that brings in more developers to the community is a good thing. Sure, there are going to be plenty who use this tool as a shortcut to doing any hard work, but there are going to be those who use it as a starting point to further their knowledge of ROM building and modifying. Everyone needs a place to start, after all, but implying they'll never be "one of the boys" without beating their head bloody against a desk isn't at all helpful. Dark Wraith should be commended for creating a tool that will help bring new blood into the community.

No need to apologize.You have every right to criticize. In my defense i would say that when i wanted to make a kernel..i used championswimmer's kernel tools..i used dxdia's kitchen to work on Roms but that doesnt mean i took a shortcut..i used a toolkit out there to get started. I still had to learn stuff to make changes to a kernel/Rom and i was intrigued by the idea of how the tool was working. And while studying Dxdia's sources i actually came to know about a lot more than i would have done myself. many people want to know how to build a kernel and then they get discouraged if they feel its tough..yes..there will be people who will use it as a shortcut..but there will also be people who would start kernel building because a tool is out there to help them or atleast get them started.
p.s.Sorry for no punctuation marks..comma doesnt work on my laptop...:silly:

That's one side of the argument, if you re-read the first several pages of @championswimmer's kernel kitchen thread you'll be reminded just how strongly some people feel about this... I'm not in either camp by the way.
My point is that xda is not what it was, if we continue to post toolkits here it will only dilute the pool of serious development further. You just have to dive into an official CM Dev thread (N4 is a good example) at any point and browse, say, 25 pages to see exactly what I'm talking about...
For every one person that takes your tool, pulls it to bits to figure out how it works and goes on to do their own original work and contribute back, I feel sure that there'd be many more that just go ahead without any real understanding of what they're doing, expecting you and I to bail them out when it goes wrong... I hope that's overly cynical but, ironically, from evidence I don't think that is.
Your toolkit might have a place, and again all credit to you for putting it together. Personally I believe it's more hand holding (even more so than ROM or kernel kitchen) which ultimately helps no one.

no bro..its not about support. Cm11 can run on ur device and you can build for it provided that you have the kernel source of your device available..For officially supported devices you will have the kernel source in cyanogenmod repository. For a device with no kernel source you cannot build cyanogenmod. What you are talking about is cyanogenmod porting to an unsupported device. Take a look around in cyanogenmod's wiki. I might add porting options in the tool in future but atm you can build only for offcially supported devices
Hi.
I am looking for some good working sqlite & zipalign init.d scripts & binaries for /xbin (AOSP based 4.4.2 ROM).
I have searched but I don't know if the stuff I found until now is scripted well or outdated.
Is there a good source for those 2 things?
I have both from _sale_ I may use, back from his SGS3 Android 4.1 ROMs (~1y old), but I thought maybe there is something new or updated.
Although I don't know Tue answer to your question, I would think it shouldn't matter if its outdated if you're applying it to an outdated ROM

That's a point.
Tested both old scripts using terminal emulator - both not working.
