Hello.
I installed Tiamat 2.1 yesterday on my 3G+Wifi EURO Xoom (before flash I did wipe + cache reset).
I also installed SetCPU (tried also to put frequency on 1ghz but same problem)
The first hours worked fine...I also restarted it 2-3 times and everything was ok!
Then this morning I noticed many problems:
1) Rom is draining battery much more than my 3.1 stock (before installing Tiamat). But maybe I should wait some days to be sure
2) Gmail with multiple accounts crash on system boot (I use gmail widget). I read this is common problem and may be solved with Tiamat 2.0 gmail.apk but where is that? And how should I install it? (like a normal app?)
3) And the main problem is... every time I open an app after few seconds / click it crash or the tablet reboot
Is all this normal?
Thanks

You have a combination of problems that can be resolved one by one.
Did you overclock with SetCPU and click on "set on boot" by any chance? That can cause reboots if you have set a clock speed that your Xoom can't handle. Also is it set on interactive as suggested? Leaving it set on performance (which is good mainl for benchmark testing) can have the same effect with oc.
Temporarily, remove all but one gmail account. Search in the Hammerhead thread for the gmail.apk from 2.0 (from yesterday, I believe) and download it (click on it and it will download). You will need to remove the current gmail apk, which is a system file, with a program that lets you do that (i use Root Uninstaller). Reboot. Then go into your downloads folder with Root Explorer or another such program and click on the file. You should be asked if you want to install it. Say yes. If it doesn't work, you can probably push it through adb. Or revert to your previous backup which you so thoughtfully did prior to messing around with system apps.
Excessive battery drain can be caused by a number of things...set screen brightness as low as is reasonable and usable, set screen-off profile in SetCPU to cnserve the battery when sleeping, reduce the amount of apps that are constantly syncing....and remember that overclocking does run up the battery use.

Haha, thanks guys...but that's the kind of community this is...people helped me and I help when I can, same as you. The developers are the producers so it's up to us enthusiasts to guide each other along.
I'm experiencing almost the same problem sometimes. Plus occasionally "open with" window stop poping up. Any known solution for this?
Thanks.

The problem with dimming and no "open with" window is easily resolved. Make sure that auto-rotate is enabled in settings, and then, when that problem occurs, just rotate the Xoom--like from landscape to portrait mode. That should do the trick.
Great! Thank you for fast replay.

All I can say is revert to your back-up (that I advised you to do) or try another way to install the apk.
You could also post your question in the thread that you got the apk from. Others used it successfully and someone can probably help you there. You have more than 10posts so you can post a question in the appropriate thread.

I tried root uninstaller (thx 4 the hint).
To restore gmail you have to go to root installer, select gmail, click on he android guy in he top with he looking glass and then find your download to install the new version.
FAQ for [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][RC][4.1.2]
This is a FAQ for users who would like to start (or just have) with Bruce's amazing ROM and run into issues.
The development thread is frequently seeing already-answered questions, frustrating many others
and drastically blowing up the thread.
Thank you Bruce for your great work and allowing us to experience a revitalized Sensation!
Obviously also big THANKS to the whole CM team, whoever you are!
In order to help out those users and lessen Bruce's workload to follow the thread, this should be a community effort,
so please feel free to post any items that need to be added or mistakes were made (I wrote this up from memory).
I'm bad with names, so I apologise beforehand to not plug every username here, thanks to whoever contributed!
If you are new to the rom: please take at least a few minutes to use the SEARCH feature FIRST with corresponding keywords
before posting a question, chances are pretty good that it's been answered already (many times).
Mods: if I missed to follow any guideline here, please let me know and I'll fix asap.
Q: I'm on a different ROM, what should I do?
A: Read the full first post as it already includes hints for installation.
You should then also check to have a current firmware (3.32 at least).
The first post has 2 different download links, one or both of them will have
the current version. If you do not see it in the first link (the >>>I AGREE <<< link),
just think for a second and click the mirror link!
There's also a link to a current gapps package (install from recovery as well).
If you think you need different versions, please search the dev forum first before asking,
there are plenty of tweaked/inverted versions out there.
Q: I'm on a previous build of Bruce's, what should I do?
A: just install the current build over it, you do not need to manually wipe dalvik/cache as the install does it already.
Q: Do I need a different kernel or can I switch to a different kernel?
A: Bruce included his own tweaked kernel. Other kernels (like tamcore) may also work,
but also may break things that Bruce had explicitly built in.
I haven't yet seen clear evidence that switching to another kernel offers anything, so
my personal opinion is: don't mess with it, just because you read about some fancy
tweak in another rom's thread.
Q: My data icon keeps flickering/bad connections?
A: this is a often discussed issue with unclear cause (as of now) and happened not only
to TMO users in the US, but also in other countries.
Yesterday it was reported, that getting a new SIM card fixed this issue (at least for
several months for another user).
Please search the thread also for more details/investigations by SkipJacks.
Q: There are graphical issues with Chrome?
A: This has been a known issue for weeks and still needs fixing (either Chrome gets fixed or new display drivers are released).
Q: Where can I find the option to dis-/enable the screen off CRT animation?
A: Settings -> Developer options: set "Window animation scale" to "0.5" or "off"
Q: Is it possible to have Sense widgets?
A: No, not the same Sense ones (this is a different software base). Check Play Store for widgets.
Q: How do I enable/disable Sweep2Wake?
This is disabled by default. To change this, it requires a mounted /system partition.
Use a root-enabled file explorer like the free "ES File Explorer", which has extra root
options to auto-mount it in read/write-mode (thus enable that option).
Then go edit this file as text:
Code:
/system/etc/init.d/89bruce
In it are separate sections for sweep2wake, tun and badass governor, like
Code:
SWEEP2WAKE=0
Change the value 0 to one of the values described right there in the file, read carefully!
Some changed settings can be activated by executing it in a terminal.
If unsure how to do that, do a manual reboot.
Q: The default badass governor behaves differently (or you experience lag)?
Proceed as with above answer, but this time change this line:
Code:
BADASS=2
The default is fairly well for battery, but set value to 1 to activate higher max. frequency.
Q: The camera does not have previous picture sizes, like 16:9?
Oct 25 build has the camera options now also list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" etc.
Q: My facebook app displays wrong/huge fonts?
A: Reported and confirmed by many to be a FB app issue after last weeks FB updates.
Q: My facebook app does not sync?
Syncing was removed by FB some while ago, but can be done by other apps (HaxSync?)
Q: Wifi hotspot does not work?
A: this is currently reported to be broken (Oct 25), but Bruce will certainly take care of it
when he has the time. Please do not report this repeatedly or ask him daily, also
follow the release notes.
Q: Call volume or headphone volume is out of whack?
A1: at least once after rom install, use volume rockers to set max volume and then
back down to normal level.
A2: Settings -> Sound -> uncheck "Safe headset volume"
Q: Can I install BeatsAudio?
A: with some extra package installed, probably (needs an extra sense framework),
search the dev forum for it.
but it might interfere with the built-in "DSP Manager" and cause other issues.
Please reply for answers to add... and hit Thanks if this helped you.
See next posts for more...!
Cheers

PART 2:
Q: Better Battery Stats (or other battery app) is showing hours of Alarm Manager Wakelocks attributed to Google Services, what do I do?
A1: please read SkipJacks' post (page 1460!) about an investigation we did the last couple of days about it, excerpt:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We used System Tuner Pro to disable some of the start up items in the Google Services Framework.
Additionally we froze GTalk and Gnow (Google Search). And no, you can't just freeze those two apps.
The GSF will still create wakelocks when trying to activate them. So you have to modify the GSF as well.
These are the things that I disabled in the GSF using System Tuner Pro (other apps may work as,
such as ROM Toolbox Pro etc., all available in the market).
gtalkservice.diagnostits.gtalkdiagnostics
update.systemupdateactivity
gtalkservice.connection autherrordialog
talk.talkprovider
settings.googlesettingsprovider
gservices.gservicesprovider$override reciever
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkein.eventlogservices$receiver
gtalkservice.diagnostics.gtalkdiagnosticsbroadcast reciever
gtalkservice.serviceautostarter
gtalkservices.datamessagereciever
gtalkservice.sendxmppreciever
gtalkservices.packageinstalledreciever
gtalkservice.xmppendpointreciever
loginservice.serviceswatcher (You might try reactivating this one to see what happens)
usagestates.statsuploadservice$reciever
checkin.evenlogservice
gtalkservice.service.stalkservice
gtalkservice.pushmessagingregistar
You can freeze the GSF entirely with 1 easy step and that will also kill the wakelocks. But the Play Store becomes another casualty if you do that. Disabling the events above will stop the Google Services wakelocks dead in their tracks, and allow the Play Store to continue working. (Though I haven't tried purchasing a paid app yet)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is based on current 4.1.2 gapps, but may well be valid for previous builds.
A2: In general, unless utterly needed, disable any "sync" settings in individual apps, such as Calendar, Settings -> Google account etc. and don't forget to switch off BT and/or GPS when you don't need it.
Q: My mobile data icon blinks on and off, what do I do?!
T Mobile USA users may experience issues with mobile data going on and off in about 1 second intervals. The "H" will just blink continuously. The problem is how the AOSP framework interacts with the T Mobile USA data network. It is intermitent, and usually cures itself within an hour or two. This will occur in ALL AOSP ICS and JB roms for the Sensation. (CM9, CM10 Variants, AOKP, etc)
While a cure is constantly being researched, nothing final is upon us as of yet. The best thing you can do is turn data off and leave it off for an hour or two and see if it works later. If you must try to fix it right now there are a few things that may help, but understand they are temporary fixes.
Sending yourself a text message.
Calling to your phone.
Making a call from your phone.
Going into airplane mode for a minute then back to normal.
Sometimes these tricks work because they either force the network to either re-register or authenticate your phone. Sometimes they don't work.
If you absolutely positive must have data working right now, flash a Sense or Desensed ROM. This problem does not exist in Sense ROMs.
See this thread for more details about what does and doesn't help.
Q: I have no or issues with WiFi?
A: Read here.
-- BIG thanks to Skipjacks for the above (and me a little )
Q: The dialer/phone or gallery app does not show?
A: Having installed other tweaks or (inverted) gapps may have caused this. Try reverting any changes made.
If this persists, a fresh, clean install should be fixing it in any case.
Q: GPS is not working correctly?
A1: suggested apps to try out: "Faster Fix", "GPS Status" or simialr in market
A2: Settings -> Location access -> GPS source.. there check "Use internal GPS"
A3: "go outside!" (thanks Catnap, that made me laugh!)
-- Thanks to Catnap and darkbasic4
Q: I have a problem with feature X! Is this ROM broken?
A: Can you reproduce the problem after a full wipe, install the ROM (& gapps)? If not, it's not the ROM.
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What to do about slow SD card transfer speeds?
A1: A solution I would recommend: MultiMount SD Card app
A2: Mount USB from within 4ext and transfer's should be at full speed
-- Thanks to MAMeingast and corumuk
Q.: Where did my video/picture/ringtone/music files go? They are on the SDcard but I can't see them in Apollo, the Gallery, etc.
A: Apps will not scan folders for media if they have a hidden file called .nomedia (with the dot in front!) in them.
Certain root apps have been known to put such a file in the main folder of the SD card itself, causing all photos, etc., to vanish. To fix, use a file manager like ES and enable View Hidden Files in the settings. Check the main folder of your SDcard (and others, if you like) and delete .nomedia wherever you want to be able to see media - especially the root directory of the SDcard. Then - and this is important - turn the phone OFF and reboot it (Restart may not be enough). This forces Android to rescan the card and your media will reappear.
-- Thanks to dkephart
Q: I have terrible battery life. After some browsing, phone calls etc. my battery is down from 100% to 50% in just one hour.
A: Do this battery test, charge to 100%. Set display brightness to 100%. Set timeout to 30 minutes. Disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Sync, GPS. Unplug the charger and just leave the phone at the home screen. Touch it after 30 minutes and let it sit for another 30 minutes. If you battery is below <insert a normal batterys percentage here> you might consider a new battery. So it's not the ROM!
(I don't know what actual value is supposed to be there, yikes...)
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What kernel should I install?
A: The rom comes with it's own tweaked kernel (3.0.48 as of Oct 25).
You should not install other kernels, that are not explicitly made for Jelly Bean! The rom's libraries (a higher layer than the kernel) depend mostly on having functions and versions to be on the same "level" and could cause FCs/reboots if something is out of sync.
The Linux kernel contains drivers for: Display, Keypad, Camera, Wifi, Flash Memory, Audio, Power Mgmt etc. and as such it is specific to your phone model (different hardware likes chipsets, display etc.).
The kernel is under constant development, so mostly it's about fixing things, but in rare events there may be an issue introduced with it.
If that happens to you, you could either wait for one of the next frequently updated builds or revert to a previous build if need be.
Contributed by aVe2000 (thank him if it helped you):
- start Google Search|go to Settings|disable Google now
- use a tool like autostarts*|disable everything with gtalk, youtube, picasa uploader and (g)maps in it's name
(other tools also capable of that: Android/System Tuner, ROM Toolbox etc.)
- go to the sync profiles|disable all you do not really need (e.g. mail: sync manually)
- dont use any live wallpapers
- dont use widgets that automatically update its contents
- go to Settings|Performance|Processor|choose BADASS and then ... change init.d/89bruce file for badass to '3'
- additionally disable News & Weather with the autostarts* tool if not needed
- go to Settings|Backup & reset|Disable backup data
- disable all location based stuff or turn off as soon as no longer needed
- go to Settings|Display and disable automatic light adjustments

It's definitely there. The camera settings' 2nd options screen does show you the "Picture size" option, right?
Clicking the "right" arrow will list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" and "8" then.

@tobitege.. i had to install the gallery 2 apk for it.. but after that when i reflashed the rom it didnt go away.. i dunno what happened b4.. will have to c in later builds if it persists..
And yes i m totally unable to get the 16:9 ratio 8mp camera shot.. as posted by someone to flash a file for it.. it didnt work at all for me.. i think it was toryheal or something.. but can u make out y it doesnt work for me??
Also about the battery.. i just examined it.. i got from 100 to 30 in 1 hours 15 mins with screen on all the time wifi on all the time.. played medium games like jetpack joyride browsed the web.. then i continued to use it on n till i reached 2 %.. suprisingly i got 2 hours 20 mins of "screen on" with 4 hours on battery..on 25th oct build without solving the g-lock issue.. do u think my battery is gone or is it a good battery outcome??

Yes, first try flashing again without any wiping. If that still won't work, a full wipe/fresh install might be needed.
This app is Currently on-Hold Due to Personal Health-Concerns, i Pulled from Google-Play due to it being Reverted to a unstable-build due to a False-Report of some kind.
Hello This is my first app ive made so please be kind about it.
but first in regards to the bad-apk upload to google-play prior to 7/03/2014
for all those who dont know, the update was in regards to a settings not applying glitch causing the app to fail completely if it wasnt my set device id so i had no clue untill i saw a review then tested on mine then on my friends phone:
i feel bad i uploaded a bad apk and got around 30 people disapointed and 3 who baught pro disapointed so i have refunded all for pro version, removed it, then removed all ads from the free version and republished on 7/03/2014 and work a straight 6 hours to get it up+running fully from scratch with minimal code reusing to make sure it works, same android restrictions apply so gps toggling and a few others still apply, but i tried many methods to get it working, but only tested on 4.4.2 but some codes should work for 4.0+ but i feel really bad about it so i did all i could to remake it as well as i could so please try to give it another shot as i worked hard to get it up+running to work again =)
**For GoSMS+Other SMS/MMS App Users that are not receiving commands:

I haven't used this program yet. I use Cerberus which has the same problem with GOSMS.
Here is a solution that works for cerberus and should work in similar situations:
Open Go SMS Pro, tap 'Menu', 'Settings', 'Advanced', 'Other setting' then uncheck 'Disable other message notifications'.
Then back to 'Advanced', then 'Notification settings', check 'Notification bar privacy mode' and that so it will not display the recieved sms commend!
Then open the stock SMS App, tap 'Menu', 'Settings' then uncheck 'Notifications'.
The idea can be used with Handcent sms and other sms programs. Hope it works

This app was partially inspired by the Remote Terminal, Remote ShutOff, and Remote Unlock apps from the xda-announcements
(not sure of developer names at the moment, but i did like those apps myself and thought "why dont i make one just like that?"
So i did. and it doesn't need to be a system app or fully rooted to do so!
**note** i'm a single person developer so i cannot make every function compatible for every phone because i only have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltevzw, Partly Broken-Yet-?Unlocked? bootloader, Rooted Stock 4.4.2), so if a feature doesn't work for you, i cannot help much because i only can test it on mine at the moment, and this works perfectly on mine as far as i test, so sorry in advanced if anything doesnt work, send me a logcat of reproduction, your phones model, android version, if you are rooted, and try to follow this format enough
Example Based on my personal phone:.
Code:
-Phone Model: Samsung Galaxy S4
-Phone Code Name(if-Known, otherwise skip this): jflte-vzw
-Phone Android Version: 4.4.2
-App Version: 999999-DEV (My Personal Version Tag, i only have it, gets changed on releases)
-Are Rooted?: Yes
-Root Was Granted?: Yes
-Have a LogCat?: This is just an example; but say "yes" or "no"
or their respective simaliers your comfortable with like "yea","yeah","nah"
-Is Device Administrator Enabled?: Yes.
-Issue (all details): this is an example of the issue Area.
Features include: [R] = root required [~R] = root may be required for newer phones [D] = Disabled in Disable Dangerous On Wildcards
-customizable passphrase used for all commands except both echo's (cannot be blank, but unlimited length (as long as you can fit commands after it), there is no old passphrase, so on your first run(or after data wipe), leave the old Passphrase alone, and type your new one in the two other text fields)
-turning on/off the service when changing passcodes(or typing in the same passcode in old, new, and confirm)
-[R]Shutting off phone
-[R]Rebooting phone
-[R]Rebooting into recovery
-[R][D]Sending terminal commands
-[R][D]Uninstalling apps remotely (By package name, eg. com.rovio.angrybirds, **reboot afterwards required**, system apps uninstallable also)
-Sending Echo's (toast messages, multi-lined acceptable)
-Sending multiple Echos (multi-line Echo's, separated into different toast messages one-after-another)
-[R]Bypassing the security lock of your phone, with reboot (beta feature, picks and chooses when to work when screen off) (supports: regular patterns, cyanogenmod 4x4-6x6 patterns, passwords, digit pins)
-[D]SDcard Wiping (Cannot be undone, see notes and warnings below command)
-[D]Remote Factory Reset (device admin needs to be enabled, android 2.2+)
-[~R]Toggle wifi, wifi hotspot, gps, bluetooth, ADB (on newer android firmware, some toggles need to be on a rooted phone for toggles to work; GPS requires to be a system app)
-Text-to-Speech (Makes your phone talk and say what you put after the command, some censors are put)
-One-Time Alarm sound (makes your phone set off the alarm sound, if failed (or media/sdcard unmounted) does System Alarm sound, if failed notification sound, if that fails does ringtone)
-Looping Alarm sound (shuts off with snooze command)
-Custom Alarm ( place "Alarm.mp3" in (external sdcard path)/KittleApps/Smstasks/Alarms/Alarm.mp3)
-Snooze alarm
-[R]Toggle ADB
-Rechecks Superuser (just basic rechecks superuser request, if already allowed does the toast message)
-Reading all your incoming text messages with the announcement "Text from (number or email) saying... (message)" (can be disabled/enabled in commands, or in the more settings menu.)
-Disabling/enabling almost any command (does not disable command to check superuser or the command to enable/disable commands)
-White-listing 2 numbers, and one email (no special characters use only numbers 0 through 9, no Country codes, Can allow all numbers (not email), by setting only the wildcard * )
-GPS Tracking (only as good as the gps on your phone, gives overall accuracy in metres, this will turn on gps on start) (separate command to stop tracking)
-Testing if app is installed and running correctly.
-Requiring Confirmation of pass phrase to disable/enable change whitelists
Commands (and format) to use these are, (where (pass)= your passphrase) (options for a few select commands are: true,false,enabled,disabled,t,f)
**Note: when it says "1234", or (option), do not include the ( ) or " Symbol(s) in the command. only your pass phrase and/or the option with spaces only to separate the [email protected], the passphrase, and options, with no spaces afterwards unless it is the speak, echo, multi-echo, cmd commands so far**:

End OF Commands:
in regards to convert this (or any app) to a system app via commands?
type these in seperate texts in new messages (as it will be long...) make #### your currently set pass phrase
Code:
[email protected]#### cp /data/app/com.kittleapps.app.smstask.apk > /system/app/smstasks.apk
[email protected]#### chmod 644 /system/app/smstasks.apk
[email protected]#### rm /data/app/com.kittleapps.app.smstasks.apk
then reboot the phone =) its how i debug it on-the-fly just do not remove from data/app before you chmod 644 the system app as you will no longer see the app as installed; so if you need to use the [email protected] command to test if it is still reading the commands =)
**do not use this method maliciously! i'm just showing for some users to convert to system app easily using my app for gps toggling issues! **
In Regards to the [email protected] Command "Being Malicious" as some argue to me it is, heres an explaination why its not
This command now uses an overlay to keep the Activity ALWAYS on-top, it will be fullscreen, and may seem the home button, back button, and others do not work;
this is intentional, but not maliciously, i have been given rants+complaints about it "Hacking the home button", but this is not the case;
the command loads an overlay on top of all apps like Facebook's ChatHeads, only it will not read back keys like their app, or home keys like their app to close it due to it being a security feature for this app (as its a remote controlling app, based on security) so it wouldnt be wise to allow the tracking to be shut off with a simple back press right? and i dont want to do a background one, as thats a battery hog
but.. to close the app you MUST use the [email protected] command, or wait untill it does its default Max Location Texts to be sent (3): after that the [email protected] will stop the location tracking, and close the dialog by shutting down the activity; but i will let you know it is not malicious and i will provide the code used for the overlay as-is on-request in a private message, email, or simply in a reply and ill add it in a CODE tag, or attach the file as-is in the reply i make so you can see =P i DO NOT EVER intend to be malicious, as it is bad practices for online communities, let alone developers and their work, thus why i add warnings to do not use it maliciously, or what could be dangerous if misused not as intended =)

nice app, mate, sure looks promising
would be great to be able to send a command to fully wipe phone / sd card, this should be a great feature to have in case you loose or get your phone stolen
Thanks for the app. Full wipe phone/sdcard via sms would be great function.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
tested on samsung galaxy SL i9003 GB Stock rooted 2.3.6 And it's not work !!!

weird because it works on my phone, i cant really test on other phones, but ill tweak it around a bit and check every command again, but the wakelock picks and chooses when to work when the screen is locked or shut off with patterns/pin/password, ill try to find a better way to use one, but make sure you accept/grant the superuser request But there is also a glitch when sending non-commands making the app crash, but ill try to fix that soon also, might i ask what command you tried to use (not with your pass code just the function would do)
i will also try to add the wipe functions soon, ill have to find a reliable way to wipe data with shell commands, as thats how these commands (with the exception of the echo's) work, but for sdcard wipe, that will be easier ill start working on it soon.
I had very similar ideas after the first shutdown app came out. One idea i got to tweak that a little bit more was why don't listen to other msg services like whatsapp, instead of SMS, cause it's a little bit old school. Might be a next version of your app come up with other msg systems?
Another thing I have regonized are for Samsung branded Devices: Samsung offers a protect services to shut your phone down or locate it wheb it's stolen etc. . So because you do this through a website Samsung needs to create a SU Access to the phone. Ain't it possible to access this services over an API and build a program around it? ...or I am completely wrong?

im not sure tbh, ive only been able to do this over the broadcast receiver for receiving sms, idk if i can get this to work with other sms apps, but if i find a way to add the other message systems that would be a good alternative.
And idk about that samsung phone thing, i thought that could only be done for the stock roms, this app here ive only really tested on Unjustified dev''s domination and PAC roms cause those are my daily drivers, but that would be a good thing to try if i knew how to do it lol

if you wait a bit im about to post the version with the sdcard-wipe command ill let you know when its posted
New Version 1.1.7 now uploaded Now supports sdcard wipe via command (where (pass) = your passphrase)
[email protected](pass)
**not this cannot be undone when started it will erase all sdcard contents, and possibly internal sdcard as well since internal sdcard and external sdcard use some of the mount points deleted with this command (eg. /sdcard/)
the mount points deleted with this command are the following.. (as all i could find for android sdcard mount points were these)
/mnt/sdcard/*
/mnt/storage/sdcard0/*
/storage/sdcard0/*
/sdcard/*
/sdcard/ext-sd/*
Now uploaded Version 1.1.8 with experimental wipe Data command, it wipes data,cache,and dalvik-cache while online, then does some other things that a regular wipe would do like remove the lockscreen (by using the void of the bypass lockscreen), and does the wipe and reboots, The only bad part about it it doesnt start googles one-time init on boot that a regular wipe does, so you have to reconfigure your accounts and settings+restore your apps manually sorry,,
The command is (where (pass)= your passphrase)
[email protected](pass)
Enjoy!
Hi, this app is really awesome but what do you think about the possibility to add comand for switch on/off Data and WiFi Connection? It could be very useful, if you need to find the location of your smartphone.

ive been trying to find a good way to find the location, but so far im outta luck for that, but as of the toggles ill find a way to try and do that just give me some time and a way to do it (if possible by the methods im using).

Sorry, I have no idea how to implement it, I'm not yet starting to learn android programming. But I recommend the Data/WiFi on/off because can be a useful tool with anti-thief app.

oh dont worry, i already have code for the wifi, and experimanting with gps toggles right now,then working on the gps tracking, im trying a no-root method, ad most methods used by this app use the terminal (thus needing the root), thats why this app uses soo many root features, im making the toggles as non-root needed as i could get at the moment
I dont know if this works but how when it doesnt ask for root access? Im using MIUIv5 anyway.

That might just be a superuser request problem with miui, i cannot test on miui because my phone doesnt have that rom that im aware of, but check in the superuser app/settings and see if its there under deny, if so put for allow/grant, this app asks for superuser request everytime the app is opened so if it doesnt ask for it, try a fresh install, or check your superuser, or (as a last resort, just to test)make a backup of your phone, flash another rom thats rooted (like cyanogenmod), and test there, then restore your phone if wanted because like ive posted before i can only test on one phone so i can only tell what works/not works by my own tests and others feedback, so sorry if i cannot get this to work with miui, as i cannot test using that specific rom, sorry.
Off topic: im almost done with another build, it has toggle wifi, toggle mobile data, toggle nfc (if phone compatible), toggle gps, toggle wifi mobile hostspot, set off alarm sound, set off looping-alarm sound(currently has no shut off so a force-close or phone rebbot is needed), and experimental gps track phone (i havent fully tested it, as i cannot leave my house for enough time to set off the trigger of my phones gps, but it will turn on gps, send a sms to the phone that sent the command (as long as the command had the right pass phrase) with a link with google map coordinants of where the phones generall location is, but its only as good as the phones gps/enabled gps settings, and doesnt always give exact location, but if you recognise where its at like a freidns house is nearby, you know where to go.
SMS Task
this is brilliant, continue developing this, it has great potential. work great on my AT&T gs2 gonna test it on a galaxy exhibit 2 later
The PURGE
Since I am patiently waiting for Lollipop to come out for our device, I decided to make a flashable debloat script which will be called "The PURGE."
I have had many requests to continue development for my ROM and found it easier to make this vs. maintaining a ROM. With that being said, I will be making other versions of the script but wanted to start off with a bang with an EXTREME debloat script!
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible if your phone blows up! This script will remove anything listed below if it is on the device. If it is not on the device it will not do anything! Therefore, if you use something that's listed to be removed, then do NOT complain. I am sure there are many on here that can help you get the one or few things you do use back on the device without a problem as well as a lot of the applications can be installed from the Play Store or simply taken from a stock (non debloated) ROM.

-/system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox.store (Knox related, usually also removed by ROM devs by default)
-/system/tima_measurement_info (Not sure but not needed)
Keep in mind since this initial version is the most extreme, using it can and will render things such as UPSM and SHealth to not work similar to my Extreme Syndicate ROM.
If you find anything on your device that isn't already removed please let me know so I can add it to the script! I will also be updating it as I go and as I find more things to remove.
I do not have a estimate, but I would imagine what is removed with this script will remove 600-700+ MB from the ROM itself! I have tested on Ricks Rom v19.5 and system RAM is down to ~800mb which has basically freed up about 1gb of system RAM which in turn allows for a smoother faster and leaner device!
This did take some time.. Of course I already had a strong idea of what to remove based on the work that I've already done with Extreme Syndicate but the script had to be typed up manually with each application/file as well as I had to do a clean install more than once to find some straggling applications before I got it to how I wanted it!
All I ask is that you at least hit the thanks button and if you can spare some change don't be afraid to donate!
Eventually I will be making specific debloat scripts to remove certain applications such as only removing Verizon bloatware, or only removing Samsung bloatware etc. I am also messing around with Android Studio to hopefully one day be able to make an application that is device specific that will automate the process by selecting it in an actual application. This would sort of be like an Aroma installer except an application that you can run on the phone while its booted up and no need for recovery.
As always, thanks for trying out The PURGE and let me know what you think of it!
Install Instructions:
1) Download the Zip file
2)This should work on any stock ROM! (If the files aren't there to be removed it shouldn't do anything at all. I recommend to do a clean install, let phone boot up and then go into recovery and flash it. This is because it does remove the setup wizards so it's recommended you set the phone up first and then reboot to recovery and flash the script.)
3) Boot into recover and flash the Zip
4) Done!

yea, figured id make a list lol. i did leave in clocks, calculators, calendars etc... theres also more hidden stuff i can remove but that is the bulk of it..
the sounds, launchers n some of the apks are large as well and there are 3rd party apps that are smaller in size but that is where a rom is more suitable lol
Im alsothinking about making it so it will add build.prop tweaks n other stuff but thats later down the road lol
Glad your still highly active in the forums and churning out some goodies....
Looks nice trying this on optimal as I type this

let us know how it goes! I think most stuff removed shouldnt affect much on other ni2 roms.. might however on eclipse which is highly modified.. or alliance.. long as they dont use any of the removed apps listed here for anything major then it should b good
I also was making a rom (Extreme Syndicate v2.5) but on first boot the toggles wouldnt come up and settings button from drop down didnt work (works from settings in app drawer).. so i gotta figure that out when i have time.. unless of course misterxtc or someone knows how to fix it then i can upload it and have thread reopened.. it has much the same as v2.1 (not themed) but call lag issue is gone lol it mistve been something i removed from system folder.. its around 500mb in size since i left some stuff in this go around

So far no issues, fc's anythi MG of that nature. Optimal is running somewhat smoother than it already does and definitely nice to be under the 200 system app mark now as I was unsure of some things to remove. No complaints here so far
yea it flash in a split second too lol
It took maybe a quarter of a second to flash hahaha. I was impressed lol
Thank you so much Elliwigy! I was one of the people asking for this! Haha. My only question is - On Extreme Syndicate I had some issues connecting to my PC as an MTP device/being able to plug in and view it as a drive to easily drag & drop files to and fro. Should I expect anything like that from this script or no?
You're the best! Now for the black&white... lol

Nope.. it doesnt remove the mtp like the rom did so plugging it in a pc should work out the box
Thanks for making this elliwigy. Is there a way to edit what is deleted? I tried changing the updater-script but when I went to flash it said something about the binary not working.
I wanted to leave the google stuff (I know I could re-download it but I figured why not leave it) and I really wanted to keep the emergency alert stuff (cmas). I figure the emergency alert is good to have, in case of an emergency

Thanks for making this elliwigy. Is there a way to edit what is deleted? I tried changing the updater-script but when I went to flash it said something about the binary not working.

All you really would need to do is from a pc open the zip using 7zip and then go to the updater script, right click and press edit.. remove the line you want to keep then go to file and save.. it will ask you again to save in zip and say yes.. it should work.. ive had issues trying to edit updater scripts on the phone if thats what u tried

Thanks for the 7zip tip. I previously extracted the zip, edited the script, and then remade the zip. Something didn't work right, but the method you mentioned did. Thanks!
was hoping there would be a list of removed apps for the "perfect debloat" eventually. thanks for the post up. This helps with rom creation as well
Although, does this cause the issue I was having with Extreme Syndicate about not having the multi tasking work at all? softbuttons and hardware bring up no multi tasking for me

yea.. edit the zip and exclude the multiwindowtrayservice from the updater script or simply add it back to rom if u use it..
not really an issue since i do not use multiwindow at all as do a lot of people i consider it bloat lol

cool wasnt sure the apk because id tried adding it back once and it didnt fix it lol
also if you want to go to the max there's about 20 more lib files you can remove that equal out to around 70 megs. i'll try to get a list together

thanks!
Some if not all variants of the V10 did not include multi-users out of the box like Tmo's didn't. So to counter that I have put this little guide together for you.
To do this really all you have to do is add these two lines to the buildprop save and reboot.
You might need a build prop editing app or a different root browser. Root explorer is known not to save edits on the G3, G4, and V10.
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=5
That's it you're all done.
One thing I've noticed about multi-user is unless you're using it a lot, make sure you go through settings on the other user and disable sync, location, etc. Basically anything that could run in the background and kill your battery
Update: Working on Tmo V10 running Marshmallow too!
Thanks! I'll definitely be applying this once I get my phone set up.
I see the zip for the G4 has an apk which I'm assuming is what handles the system settings. What needs to be done to the V10 version of that apk to enable the "Users" option in system settings?

Nothing at all. It works with just the build prop addition..

Great! Thanks for letting me know. Sorry, normally I'd give it a try first before asking, but I don't want to root the phone just yet. I'm waiting for them to unlock it for me, and the T-Mobile Unlocking app freaks out if the phone is rooted.
So not available
I have seen several videos on youtube showing v10s with multiple users enabled on the phones in the video. However I don't know if I missed that step in setting up my phone or that certain carriers (t-mo, verizon, att) aren't enabling this basic android 5.1.1 feature. So can you clarify is it all V10 or just the t-mobile variant.
So is the only solution to root and do all the images? Got it less than 24 hours and very upset there is no guest mode for kids or ability to setup multiple users, so can I root without having to do all the setup again?
So it need rooted phone
