Database Info

[Q] Some question about making a custom rom

Hi
I hope someone can help me.
I am trying to make my own custom rom. I used this way.
- flashed xxJPM
- de odexed all apps and framework
- added stock android lockscreen
- removed some useless system apps
- then changed theme
all this works great. but I had problems with adding some other apps to /system/apps
1. I copied the *.apk file to /system/app
2. I extract the lib files into /system/lib
But apps like quickpic or the gingerbread keyboard are not working. When I just install them android create a data folder. What do I have to do with those database files in this folder? Can someone show me the right way for installing own system apps?
Then I do a factory data reset in the settings. After this nothing was working. I had no lockscreen. Even all options by pressing the shutdown button except "shutdown" disappeared. Does anyone know why this happened?
I am new to this. So it would be great if you can help me.

QuickPic/Gingerbread: Nope. Open the .apk and copy the lib files to /system/lib
About the rest. i have no idea since I don't know your internal files.
THIS IS DEVELOPMENT. DO NOT CLOSE.
It helps people with force close problems.

After making your own dump your not suppose to factory reset, only after flashing your own dump your ready to factory reset, but if you factory reset while making a dump/removing and adding files, you will soft brick and loose your work..
Did you change the framework and tw framework?
Adding back some framework files via adb might help..
Or you will have to start over again..

I forgot to add that you should check your permissions on the lib file

yeah I think you are right. Thank you all for your help. I'll try it again. And I hope that it will work.

HI ok. I've tryed it again.
But know when I want to flash my new factoryfs.rfs the Download crashed.
I don't know where the problem could be.​

Do I have to use this command?
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can someone explain this command to me?

still third time flashing chrashes.
when Odin is flashing the factoryfs.rfs it stops at a specific level. odin get 99% of CPU and I have to interupped it. What is my fault? DId anyone have same problems? I try it to make like all the tutorials says.
Edit: Odin says before flashing "Big Partition size!" What do I have to do to make it smaller?
Edit: I get this:
# dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
435200+0 records in
435200+0 records out
222822400 bytes transferred in 115.950 secs (1921711 bytes/sec)

Found the problem why odin crashes. I copied the factoryfs.rfs file with 7zip into the .tar package but I had to use TotalCommander.
But still I have no lockscreen after flashing and the options in the power menu are not visible.

[Android 4.0][GUIDE]Port ICS transition animations on EVERY ROM & EVERY PHONE

Because some people asked me, I wrote this tutorial that explains how to port ICS transition animations on EVERY ROM & especially on EVERY PHONE!!!.
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" (Set current project) and enter. Then enter "1" (to choose the first apk) and enter. Then enter "9" (Decompile apk) and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1qjwtotg1r8umm1
8) Copy the files from the folder "anims" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes. Then copy also the files from the folder "other_files" to the anim folder.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml and put these two lines under the line of "shortAnimTime":
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" (Compile apk) and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "y" and enter. Then a second question appears. Enter newly "y".
12) Then after it processes, Don't press anything & DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW!!! A new folder "keep" is created in the apk manager folder. Go inside it and delete the file "resources.arsc". Now go inside keep\res\anim\ and delete every file with the same name as every file of the "anims" folder of the zip downloaded.
Then return to Script and press enter. It processes, then if everything went ok, in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" a file "unsignedframework-res.apk" is created. Copy it outside and rename it "framework_res.apk".
13) Now you can create a flashable zip or you can simply push it to your system (but you have to sign the apk).
CONGRATRULATIONS!!! YOU ARE DONE!!!
And if you think this tutorial is useful, CLICK THANKS!!!
Now I'm satisfied and i can continue studying phylosophy for tomorrow test...
P.S.: If you think that this post can help or interest people of other forums (with other devices), please share this post and also give credit to me!!!

Rotation animations??
I already installed the CM7 transition animation zip from your other thread.. So, thank you in case I haven't appreciated your work
Does this one have screen rotation animation too?

Did you pushed the modded framework-res.apk directly into the phone?

Do you think [Android 4.0 ICS] should be in the title in this form? It's a little misleading.

Hmm...It started FC. Removing my links for now. Gonna see why.

Works great
Great guide. It worked for me.
Oddly though, I replaced my framework-res.apk through root explorer, set all the correct permissions, and when I rebooted, my google accounts were deleted, along with my contacts and google music library.
Not a problem though, Ill just have to relogin to them.

Great, it works very well. I maybe found a more simple way to do it :
1. Dowload ApkTools package I've done here :
http://www.multiupload.com/Q6YSAF2MH3
2. Unzip it to your harddrive and put your FrameWork-res.apk in it,
3. Click on "decomp.bat"
4. A new "unpack" directory has been created, with decompiled files in it,
5. Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1qjwtotg1r8umm1
6. Copy the files from the folder "anims" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes. Then copy also the files from the folder "other_files" to the anim folder.
7. Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml and put these two lines under the line of "shortAnimTime":
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
8. Patch the anim files in it, and edit the xml,
9. When finished, just click "recomp.bat" to get a new compiled file "framework-res2.apk",
10. Juste rename the file and put it in a update zip file, you can use this one and replace the framework file in it by yours :
http://www.multiupload.com/PPMFV9Y316
Should work !!!
PS : If your framework-res.apk contains .9.png files, decompilation will fails. No problem with standard CM7 framework-res.apk, but some custom themed ROM can have the problem. Don't know how to fix that, maybe the 1st solution with APK MANAGER work better !?

i used root explorer..
hmmm.. it maybe beacause i did not set permissions right...

Maybe this is the problem someone is having...Someone must compare your version and mine, to see which one works and which not. (Obviously with a non-cyanogenmod rom )

Well, in the APK MANAGER post they say :
>Optimize pngs (ignores .9.pngs)
So it should work better !! (but as I'm lazy, I still use APKTOOL one click solution )

I got instant bootloops! How? Can u patch for me??

Just a heads up. I downloaded your file and you renamed your framework-res wrong. There's a space between "framework-res" and ".apk" so it won't overwrite the original.

this does not have the rotation animation..
anyway to get that..

[TEST] [Flash Zip] [HD 10] [ROOT] All-in-1: The ultimate hacks, tricks & mods zip

I have been on XDA for 2 and a half years or so. I have gained a vast amount of knowledge and skills and its all in part due to XDA and the individuals who spend their time helping others who have made this all possible. The list of those to thank is too long. So before you see what I have to offer below, I want to thank everyone around the forums here for your help, or criticism . Without you guys, I never would've learned what I know today.
Most of my hacks for the HD 10 are spread out around several threads. That makes it hard to keep everyone updated when I find or create new goodies. It also makes it hard for users to find these goodies. This thread aims to solve that problem. From now on, I will include, if possible, my tricks and hacks in this thread. This aims to make searching for and installing these modifications quick and simple.
I have created a flash zip that installs all my goodies and hacks I have come up with so far. I just need so others to test it and make sure the installation process works and everything that is installed works. So please report back your findings so I can remove test from the thread.
***IIf this zip doesn't work or if it fails the worst that can happen is you will have to flash back to fresh stock and start all over and re-root. So make note of your Fire OS version before installing this zip. I am not responsible for anything that doesn't work. If you install this zip, you are doing so at your own risk.***
This zip does NOT contain the Google Play Store. By installing this zip, I assume you already have it installed. ViPER4Android requires an extra step or two and SELinux switch. See below.
Requirements:
- HD 10 with Fire OS 5.6.1.0 or 5.6.2.0
- Rooted with Xposed installed and Flash Fire functioning properly. See here to get it up and running.
What this zip includes:
- *ALL* of my framework-res mods including WiFi and location service optimizations.
- My rewritten Settings.apk which also includes all of my mods.
- Stock Basic Dreams and Photo Table screensaver. This was one of my goals when I first signed up on XDA. I knew what needed to be done to get this to work, I just didn't know how. Finally after nearly 4 to 6 months of reading and testing, I was finally able to edit the framework-res.apk to bring you this and other features. I also had to track down a working Basic Dreams and Photo Table APK. That was half the battle. Go to settings -> display settings -> Daydream. You can choose colors, clock or set some custom photos in Photo Table. Tap three dots in upper right to decide when Daydream turns on. (Note: Photo table requires your images be placed in internal storage in the 'Pictures' folder).
- Google Calendar (assuming you have deleted Amazon's calendar).
- DeskClock latest update and APK for Google Clock (assuming you deleted Amazon's clock).
- Google Contacts Sync Adapter (Once installed, you can delete Amazon's contact sync adapter as seen here. Also for non-root users). This allows for a small amount of visual customization when you pull down the notification bar. When you customize your profile in Google Contacts (also included in this zip) with a photo, the icon in the notification panel will change to whatever you upload as your contacts photo.
- Google Contacts (requires sync adapter listed above).
- Google TTS. You can delete PicoTTS in /system/app once Google TTS is installed. It's very outdated. You can also delete both of the Ivona folders in /system/priv-app. Best to delete app data for all three before deleting.
- Latin IME (AOSP replacement for stock keyboard. Will only work when you delete Amazon's keyboard (com.amazon.redstone), any other keyboard you have installed, then perform a factory reset without installing a new one.
- Stock Android Marshmallow boot animation. The zip replaces the bootanimation binary file in /system/bin/bootanimation with one from from @ggow custom ROM for the Fire 7. Amazon had modified the stock bootanimation binary to force the gold 'fire' boot animation. Doing this made it impossible to customize the boot animation. So I replaced it under the assumption the Fire 7 ROM binary is from an AOSP build and is pretty much universal among most custom ROMs. And it worked!
- Gallery3d. Replaces Amazon Photos (You have to delete Amazon Photos on your own) with library injection so it is fully featured. You can edit all images with a full stock of editing options. (does not set lock screen wallpaper. To change lock screen wallpaper, see here. Requires root). I was able to find the APK and libraries in this thread. The flash zip there doesn't work for our devices so I modified the APK to be more tablet friendly, allowing for scrolling and viewing in landscape mode then added the relevant files to this zip. In the APK, I removed the options for a settings menu, because it doesn't function, but the library does a great job at making up for the loss of it.
- CM Browser. I was able to port over this APK along with CM File Manager, CM Wallpapers, Lock Clock and Trebuchet from an official CM Lollipop ROM for the Amazon HD 8.9.
- CM File Manager (Can replace your favorite root explorer).
- CM Wallpapers. Cyanogenmod actually had a few good wallpapers. I wish they had made their own live ones though.
- CM Lock Clock with weather. (Yahoo weather doesn't function. Use Open Weather and set update interval to 30mins).
- Trebuchet Launcher with basic launcher settings. (You have to delete fire launcher on your own for this to take effect. /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher)
- Google Calculator (assuming you deleted Amazon's)
- Stock Android Live Wallpapers and Live Wallpaper Picker (doesn't include Androids add on wallpapers. For all of Android's stock live wallpaper add ons and stock wallpaper images, see this thread.
What this zip DOES NOT include or do:
- Google Play store is NOT installed. It is best advised to do this manually. Even flashing Gapps doesn't stop you from needing to tweak Secure Settings a little bit.
- Does not delete or remove any files or folders. It does however overwrite some. The framework-res, FireTabletSettings and bootanimation files will all be overwritten.
- Not yet a custom ROM, but it's close.
-Build.prop edits are not included. My WiFi optimizations and ViPER4Android need a few tweaks. Please see the 'build.prop' section below for details.
Installation:
NOTE: If you only wish to install certain packages or tweaks such as ViPER4Android, see instructions below installation guide.
1. Simply place the DragonMods.zip into internal storage.
2. Open Flash Fire and tap the '+' and select Wipe.
3. Make sure ONLY Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition are selected and tap the check mark in the upper right of the pop-up.
4. Tap the '+' again and tap 'Flash Zip or OTA'
5. From internal storage, select my zip package DragonMods.zip.
6. Tap FLASH and wait for everything to happen. This will take upwards of 10 minutes or more, depending on many variables so be very patient.
Install only select packages:
1. Place DragonMods.zip on your PC desktop. For this I use 7zip for Windows. Right click on the zip file and select 7-zip and open as archive.
2. Double click on system folder then double click on the folder you you want to delete. Example: If you do not want to install my framework-res APK, delete the framework folder. If you don't want CM Browser, delete that folder.
3. Once you are happy with your custom installation, replace the zip on your tablet's internal storage and follow installation instructions above.
ViPER4Android:
I have not included this in my zip for a few reasons. The foremost one being it requires you to delete a couple key files so I would rather you make the choice yourself rather than me doing it for you. I confirm it is full operational and functional and doesn't force close once installed properly. If you aren't convinced, just activate the notification.
1. Download the V4A2.3.4.0 Lollipop.zip provided at the Google Drive link below or go to this thread and download it. Make sure Selinux switch is installed, set to permissive with notification enabled. Also make sure BusyBox is installed.
2. On your tablet, go to /vendor or /system/vendor and tap etc.
3. Back up both of the audio files, audio_effects.conf and audio_policy.conf then delete them from the folder
4. Go to storage -> downloads and tap on the V4A2.3.4.0 Lollipop.zip, system, etc, and extract the two .conf files.
5. Go to the folder they were extracted into and copy both of them to /system/etc, overwriting the ones that are located there. Set the permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot.
6. Go to downloads again, tap the V4A2.3.4.0 Lollipop.zip and system, app and extract the APK.
7. Create a folder in /system/app titled 'ViPER4Android'. Rename the APK 'ViPER4Android.apk' and paste it into the folder.
8. Set folder permission rwxr-xr-x, APK permission rw-r--r-- and reboot.
9. Open App and follow instructions. Tap upper right for menu and set UI to expert.
build.prop edits:
1. ViPER4Android needs a few tweaks to the build prop. If these variables and values already exist in your build.prop, please change them to the ones below. You can use Build Prop Editor or a root file explorer to make the edit:
Code:
Ipa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
2. The WiFi needs a tiny bit more tweaking here too. Locate the following line in /system/build.prop and add the value to it as seen below (there is currently no value set and the best ones are 1, 6 or 11. You can use any number as long as it's 11 or less.
Code:
ro.wifi.channels=11
3. Locate the following lines in your build.prop. Back them up to a text file then delete both lines (numbers might be different):
Code:
wifi rssi->bar thresholds
persist.wifi.rssi.thresholds=-84,-75,-66,-55
Downloads:
DragonMods.zip (the main zip you need) - Current as of November 16, 2018
DragonMods5-6-2-0.zip (for users on FireOS 5.6.2.0)
V4A2.3.4.0_Lollipop.zip
That's all for now. This includes pretty much every hack, trick and tweak I have been able to achieve on these tablets so far. I hope you enjoy all of these and watch out for more of my hacks. Thank you everyone for making all of this possible! Don't forget to hit the thank button
Change Log
- November 22, 2018: Updated links to reflect the following: Fixed issue with Trebuchet launcher missing from zip by readding it to the folder. I don't know How I missed that. Replaced google Clock with correct APK. I meant to put in the DeskClock available from the Play Store. If anyone would like a zip containing the CM/AOSP DeskClock that changes colors as the day and night change, let me know and I will upload the APK. The reason for this mess: I used the wrong zip template I have for this package. The one with the mess was intended for my personal device. My apologies.

Problems:
-If you delete Amazon photos, when you tap settings, display settings, wallpaper, it will kick you back to main settings. Solution: download Amazon photos from the play store as a user app then do this:
Code:
adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.photos
pm clear com.amazon.photos
.
Function returns.

not sure how to install this

Flash it in flash fire...says that in the OP
Be advised
I just downloaded it and realized I didn't put th right folder in for Trebuchet launcher so the folder is empty. So don't flash this zip until I can fix it when I get home later.

Update November 22, 2018 1:42PM:
- Fixed issue regarding launcher. See change log at the end of the OP.

after changing the permissions for /system/vendor/etc to rw-r-r and rebooting, get the boot screen then boot to quick flash on desktop then to black, can only get the power down window to show when holding power. I'm trying to change the permissions back in adb. . can you please send code to do this correctly? if this is the correct approach. i backed up the 2 files in es file explored back up folder.

I got it....
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 755 /system/vendor/etc
this worked... took me a while to figure it out. But it's all part of learning!

When I tried to flash it if flashfire, it will juz stuck in the first black screen for over 15 mins.
I can juz simply quit the app and everything remains the same and work fine though.
What would possibly be the problem?
 @DragonFire1024

Tried to Install ViPER4Android with the steps and files you linked but was unsuccessful. When I bring up the Driver status and they all say no to Enabled. It already prompted me to install drivers which I did and re booted and still no go. I'm familiar with installing ViPER4Android and have it installed on my phone but not able to get it going in HD10. This tablet needs some way to higher the sound, sound on this tablet SUCKS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This tablet needs some way to higher the sound, sound on this tablet SUCKS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I've been very sick the last several days and have spent most of it in bed. Until I can look and see what's wrong, I can suggest you try 'volume boost by goodev' on the play store. You may need to make it a system app though.

When I tried to flash it if flashfire, it will juz stuck in the first black screen for over 15 mins.
I can juz simply quit the app and everything remains the same and work fine though.
What would possibly be the problem?

Flash fire will take approx. 10+ mins sometimes to go through the files then about the same time until the red flash fire bar appears at the top. With flash fire you just have to wait.

Try deleting the viper folder if you installed it via a file explorer. Reboot then install viper as a regular app. Don't open it. In a root file explorer go to /data/app and copy viper folder to /system/app then reboot.

I did that the first time. I had to enable Selinux Switch and enable Permissive which it seems like you have to enable each time you want to use Viper. The Driver Status now says NEON enabled, Enabled=Yes, Status=Normal, Audio Format= Supported but it still sounds like it makes no difference in boost in volume. The App you suggested Volume Booster works great. On my phone I can notice the difference on Volume quality and boost but not on the HD10 using Viper. What settings are you using? Maybe it's the settings.

No, I didn't see any instructions to do so. Was I supposed to?

Yes. Rename them. But you should do it before installing viper.

The original files were named the same as the files copied over that's why you have to allow it to overwrite. Original files and copied files were both named audio_effects.conf & audio_policy.conf. I also edited the build prop entries you mentioned. Can you share your build prop file so I can compare your entries to mine? What were the names you change audio_effects.conf & audio_policy.conf to?

Just put a _ at the end of .conf. I didn't add the removal of the vendor files in the zip and I think I stated that in the OP.

[Android 12] [SOLVED] [MODULE RELEASE] Anyone else having difficulty replacing the stock ui sounds in system/product/media/audio/ui?

The files seem to be locked down tighter within Android 12 and I can not figure out any method of replacing them with my desired files. I have tried changing permissions, using alternate apps, Even chmod 775 in TWRP. Nothing seems to work in giving access to modify or delete the files like Effect_Tick.ogg or the suite of keypress sounds.

create magisk module

Thats outside my knowledge sadly. I'm very green to rooting still.

What rooting method used?

I used Magisk through TWRP, making sure to grab the right image for a 2022 Moto G Stylus (XT2215-4) running the factory android 12 rom.

You're on Magisk, so you can
- create new directory /data/adb/modules/RYaudiomod/system/product/media/audio/ui
- place your custom Effect_Tick.ogg file inside
- create text file in /data/adb/modules/RYaudiomod
module.prop
Code:
id=RYaudiomod
name=RY's custom ui audio sounds
version=0.0.0
versionCode=000
author=RobinYiff @ XDA
description=custom theme user interface sound effects
- reboot phone

It's really that easy as creating a folder in the data/adb directory? Okay.
Can I pack the rest of my intended sounds in there? I already got everything named to match so I believe it should be a drop in replacement.

you can place all files there. maybe chmod + chown + chcon according to its targets (not sure magisk cares about)

I'll give it a try. If it works, I'll mark this as solved. Thank you!

I can get this to work by adding everything manually in mixplorer, but i'm not understanding how to make a module out of this. It seems to install my module but always stops at the system folder and wont create the folders after that.

you mean flashable zip? I believe all you need is the module_installer.sh script and rename it update-binary then you can zip all together and install from Magisk.

If anyone still cares to have this, here it is. I recommend using some form of root browser to manually extract the module folder into it as magisk seems to not like my zip. You can replace the sounds included (Freelancer SFX) with your own so long as they remain relatively low in size, match the format, sample rate, and bit depth, and have the same exact name as the sounds in the directory named in the thread.
