How To Guide BANKING APPS: How to modify build.Prop using recovery (and more...)

How To Guide BANKING APPS: How to modify build.Prop using recovery (and more...) - Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S

Ok, after some reading, testing and trying, my conclusion is that it is not possible to tweak a running system with not triggering SELinux.
Though, for letting banking apps work it is only needed to modify the build.prop in /system, which is in fact possible, even without TWRP.
So, this is what I am doing now:
Reboot into (LOS) recovery and then in the recovery menu:
Goto “Advanced”
Mount /system
Enable adb
From your pc with adb etc.. installed:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /mnt/system
adb shell sed -i 's/ro.debuggable=1/ro.debuggable=0/g' /mnt/system/system/build.prop
adb shell sed -i 's/ro.build.type=userdebug/ro.build.type=user/g' /mnt/system/system/build.prop
adb reboot
That's it, banking apps working!

Okay, did some further research and in fact, found a solution for my "tweaking".
Though I have the feeling most people are not tweaking anymore, I hope it helps for the few people still interested! For me the result is a more lean system, working banking apps and HD calling (VoLTE), and it is just nice to do... ;-)
Scripts and approach can be found in the next posts.

After some boot issues I finally found out what was the issue of my problems with some tweaking around.
As we have a device with A/B, after flashing the update, the active partition is automatically switched after an update. This happens when flashing, so you have to reboot to recovery again directly after flashing the updated LOS and do the tweaking then to actually tweak the right partition...
A system update for me is now:
Code:
Reboot into recovery
CHECK WHICH IS THE ACTIVE PARTITION!!
Goto “Apply Update”
Goto “Apply from adb”
adb sideload <lineageos.zip>
Goto “Advanced”
Goto “Reboot to recovery”
CHECK WHICH IS THE ACTIVE PARTITION, SHOULD BE CHANGED!!
In recovery:
Goto “Advanced”
Goto “Mount /system”
Goto “Enable ADB”
Run tweak.bat
For the latest tweak script (a bat file) I am using now, see the next post.
Hope it helps for people with banking or VoLTE issues and the need to change some settings in build.prop or else... Use the information at your own risk

For who wants to use some additional adb tweaks; it is possible to do this by enabling adb in your developer settings.

adb reboot
You can enable adb and adb-root, run the script, reboot and afterwards disable adb again.
The settings will stay even after updating, so only running the script once is enough.

Also with a custom rom you want to update your firmware so now and then.
Luckily we can find the firmware for our phone here:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
And here is the bat-file I am using with phone connected to PC in bootloader (last changes 15/04/2023):

I am only flashing the neccessary stuff as radio and bluetooth and only that is erased what is needed for the update. No data is lost after update, no other tweaking needed.
On first reboot switch off your WiFi and wait a few seconds; carrier info will be updated from your provider and everything is working again. After that you can switch on your WiFi again ;-)

Additional some things which could improve your battery life (and data usage), although this is already great because of the large battery of the Moto G100....
Restrict battery usage in background for apps which do not need it:
go to apps, show all apps, per app, go to battery usage and switch to restricted
For the apps with restricted battery usage, I also switch of background usage of mobile data and VPN.
go to apps, show all apps, per app, go to mobile data and wifi and switch off background usage and VPN
Switch off mobile data for all apps which do not need an internet connections
same approach, though switch off complete network access. You can do this for several apps which you are using without the need of an internet connection like most barcode and QR scanners, file browsers, card storage apps, galery's etc...
In network settings - SIM cards - preferred network types, only select the network types you really need and which are optimised for your usage.
for me this is NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA as I switch off mobile data at night with profile settings and want to be available by phone (GSM/WCDMA), though for most people only NR/LTE will probably even fit when you are using the VoLTE changes from the first posts and VoLTE is working ;-)
Set peak frequency for screen refresh to 60 Herz, not 90 Herz. 90 Herz is more fluent when scrolling, though for normal reading, internet usage etc... I see no need for 90 Herz and it will save your battery
Set the time-out for your screen as short as possible. I am using 1 minute and it is okay for me.
Enable double click on status or lock screen to enable sleep and really use it.
Use dark theme and black background, although we do not have a led screen, it is still saving battery
Disable location and bluetooth when you are not using it, enable wifi (only) when available.
Disable tick to activate, screensaver and fingerprint sensor swipe
Don't use full brightness, though try to set it that low as possible
Don't charge your phone to 100% every time, though try to keep the battery level between 30-80%.
This is also why I have set battery saving planning to a percentage of 30%.
When you don't need your email updated real time, disable push and only use getting POP3 email for example every hour.
Although I am using a script to remove system apps after an update, you can also disable some system apps you not need. Either way; try to disable as much as possible which is not neccessary for a good working phone.
That's it for now. When I have some additional ideas I will let you know!

Outside of banking apps & enabling volte. What do your other removal of packages and tweaks do? Can you give a general breakdown?

Sorry but you really have to check yourself.
There are several websites where the apps of Android are explained
The same counts for the build.prop settings.
I think it would be good to check yourself so you know what you are doing.
And even better... may be you will find other tweaks you can share with us!

Fair enough. You'd mentioned to chmod after updating. Do I have to do that if I just run your bat file to update it? Sorry for the rookie questions as I'm no expert at linux scripts.

No, not neccessary when you are using the script and edit the file by using adb this way.
No rights are modified that way.

Hi @Timmons;
Could it be that you removed the first part of the bat file where the drives are mounted?
Could you therefor share the complete bat file you are using now, so I can actually check what is or could be wrong?

And what happens when you copy the lines to the command line one by one instead of using the bat file?
Could you for example try the following lines to check:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell mkdir /mnt/vendor
adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-9 /mnt/vendor
adb shell ls /mnt/vendor
You should see a directory listing (ls) of /mnt/vendor or an error message somewhere

Hmmm... it seems that your partitions are different as dm-9 is not known... strange ;-)
Could you try:

Ok, it seems you do not have dm-9, so indeed partitions are different.
What I have done to find out what is what is the following:
adb shell mkdir /mnt/tmpdir
adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-0 /mnt/tmpdir
adb shell ls mnt/tmpdir
Then you see what the content is of dm-0 so you know which dir it is
After that you can do
adb shell umount /mnt/tmpdir
adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-1
adb shell ls mnt/tmpdir
etc....
It seems you have to find the right setup for mounting the drives, after that you can slightly modify the script and use it for your phone.

added to linux tools, thanks!

By editing the original I could ensure that only what was created in the original, was altered, although in theory you should be able to strip or add anyfiles you want in the same way.
Works for sure on fedora 15 and opensuse11.4 and any the original script works on.

Help rooting with Mac please

Hello all,
I really would appreciate some help rooting my AT&T Skyrocket. I have spent at least 7 hours trying to figure out this stuff. I have downloaded the super easy one click root thing and followed everything to a T as far as I can tell. It has been really painful learning all this stuff.
I clicked the debugging icon under development on the phone.
I read the read me file and put in the correct commands in terminal to initiate the linux-mac.sh file. I
The program actually starts running and this is what is on my terminal display..

Add these two lines after "echo wait for phone to reconnect"
$adb wait-for-device
$adb remount
Obviously open the file in text edit to edit these.

UPDATE!! Original poster here. For whoever might stumble upon this in the future....I used the exact same method on my iMac as I had my Macbook and was able to root the phone right away. I don't know why the desktop worked but the laptop didn't but it did. Good luck to others that try to root. It was a painful learning curve considering I have never used any terminal commands before, but I could probably root this phone again in about five minutes.

That's odd but glad it worked! I've rooted on both and both worked fine for me. Hmmm

[ROOT] Tianji X720D

Hi guys,
first of all, I'm noob on Android, plus I'm Italian, my english is not really good, I apologize for that.
I searched a lot, but I found nothing on this forum about this smartphone, nor on google.
I searched for Haipai X720D, ONE XC, HTC EVO 4G, any X720D related, but for various reasons nothing really satisfied me.. are they really compatible with my phone? Probably, but I doubt that. Benchmarks are quite different (build, brand, different antutu scores...).
So, just to let people know it is possible, "hey, it just worked! don't be afraid, I did that", I wrote this little guide.
1) I have Windows 8 Pro
If you have an older Windows release, it is possible you are going to have more trouble, as always.
2) Drivers -> You need to install "Android Composite ADB Interface"
For me it was a big problem, because you can't find any driver around, no real "Tianji" website to find some kind of support or update.
I was relying on this guide (HERE related to "unrevoked" tool, but I found out their modified drivers to be just crappy and I couldn't install due to some checksum problem they have. Still, this link is a good guide about "how to" install the right driver.
I hoped to find something on google with ID_Hardware "USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&REV_0255&MI_01", but I didn't find anything to download, just a couple of "driver update" services who really had something, but pretended to install software on your PC.
Tired of wasting my time, I decided to try "driver identifier" website because they offer a free service for 1 day, just what I needed. (I don't know if I can post link here, so if you need it, just use google). It worked and now I've a ZIP ready to install just following instructions in "unrevoked" guide.
3) Root tool
Thanks to Bin4ry on xda-developers forum for his great script. You can find it on this thread: sorry guy, I can't write on your thread due to xda-developer policies, I hope you understand.
You need to choose method 1: Normal method.
This script allows you to rollback, so if something goes wrong, just launch tha batch again and select Rollback option.
But, you know, nothing is perfect, and his batch script is still a little :victory: crappy :victory: to work with this smartphone: You need to reboot your device a couple of times, but it doesnt wait for your device to resume, it just runs in timeout and because of that, it does a lot of crappy things.
You need to modify RUNME.BAT file like that:

Does lewa os support this phone ?
I'm enjoying lewa on zp100 and this tianji looks very similar in build.
UPDATE:
with linux I used the RunMe.sh provided by Bin4ry (no edit was needed)
Now that it's rooted I just need to find and flash a CWM recovery and then I'd start trying looking for lewa

Here are some guides about the recovery question:

http://www.twobitcoder.com/?p=158 (curious if I could open this page)

Do you think we can use cwm and rom from this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899592 ?
I'm almost sure the difference between haipad and tianji is in screen size only

[Tutorial] Creating adb script to flash ROM

Dear all
I know there are numbers of you who want to start developing for our XL. There are numbers of way to flashROM. Either you can flash your ROM via system.img or ROM.zip etc etc. And here are we to explore creating rom via adb script. The earlier two ROM flashing mean require you to have unlocked bootloader but adb script ROM can be flashed on L/UL mobile devices. Lets get started with:
NOTE: The phone needs to be rooted to flash adb script. For your assistance I will attach a ROM template along with this post.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Preparation
Please create two folders inside your working folder with name [Your ROM Name] and [Your ROM Name_PC].
Copy all your system files/folder inside your [Your ROM Name] folder.
Please avoid creating folder within folder to avoid confusion. For example: if you are adding ringtones in your ROM consider creating folder inside [Your ROM Name] with name ringtones instead of creating folder structure like media/audio/ringtones.
In [Your ROM Name_PC] folder create a folder with name adb and copy adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll inside it from your android sdk. If you are using my template then you can skip this step as i have already included adb folder inside [Your ROM Name_PC]

How to Unpack Boot Image and remove LG RCT and Triton Lgv20 (Linux & root only)

STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damages caused to your phone. Use this guide at your own risk there is no warranty or guarantee.
I only know how to do this in Linux in the terminal. This has only been done on Stock Oreo 8.0, may not work on Nougat never tested. This mod will speed up your phone. We are going to remove a very small program "rctd" that's buried in the phones boot image file. Also there is an antivirus scanner burred in the boot image, it slows the phone down by scanning every file.
This guide is my notes on what I did to remove LG RCT from my H910 Lgv20. But you can use this guide to remove LG RCT from your Lgv20.
guide updated on 6-28-22
Requirements:
Root/Twrp
Lgv20
Stock Oreo 8.0
Linux
You can just copy and paste the commands in the Linux terminal.
In the Linux terminal paste:
install: abootimg
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install abootimg
Arch: yay -S abootimg
install: fastboot & adb
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Arch: sudo pacman -S android-tools
Reboot phone into twrp. Connect phone via usb cable. In the Linux terminal paste:
sudo su
mkdir /tmp/test
cd /tmp/test
Get your boot.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/tmp/boot.img
adb pull /tmp/boot.img /tmp/test
sync
ls
the boot.img should be on your computer in /tmp/test/
You can unplug the usb cable from the phone. But stay in twrp we will need that later.
abootimg -x /tmp/test/boot.img
mkdir /tmp/test/initrd
cd /tmp/test/initrd
cat ../initrd.img | gunzip | cpio -vid
Going to remove rctd and lge_fota updates & comment out LG RCT access also going to comment out lge_handle_panic. And comment out triton service. You should be able to just copy all and paste all at once. Also I found a speed tweak by changing dalvik.vm.dex2oat-Xmx=512m to dalvik.vm.dex2oat-Xmx=256m will increase speed of phone.

This is what it should look like. If not, then do not flash the modded myboot.img. I am not 100% sure all Lgv20 boot images are the same. I am 99% sure they should be the same, but just in case.

plug usb cable back into phone. Phone should still be in twrp.
Going to write all zeros to fota and rct device. Updates and LG RCT devices we don't need them. And going to remvoe the dumpstate file it saves the logcat logs to the eMMC drive and slows down the phone a lot. The logcat files will still be saved to ram up to 4M but they will be deleted when you restart or it runs out of ram. This will speed up the phone removing dumpstate. Also there is a speed tweak need to change five lines in the build.prop file.
Note: If you have already used Auto_Debloat you may get some error messages file not found that's okay. It just means Auto_Debloat took care of the files for you.

wipe dalvik cache and cache
reboot phone into bootloader aka fastboot from twrp
fastboot flash boot myboot.img
fastboot reboot
exit out of root user
exit
You can unplug usb cable now done.
And that is what I did to remove LG RCT from my Lgv20 phone. One thing to note is that you can not flash a new kernel to the boot.img or you will loose the modded boot.img everything will be reset back to default. If you need to flash a Kernel then just mod the boot.img again afterwards.
If for some reason your phone does not boot anymore, we are going to flash the original boot.img
Power off the Lgv20, or remove battery. Hold volume down while plugging in the usb cable.
sudo su
cd /tmp/test
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
exit out of root user
exit
