Edit Build.prop with Carliv Kitchen?? - General Questions and Answers

hi all i have unpacked my boot.img with Carliv image kitchen. went to RamDisk folder and edited my build.prop.. repacked then flashed and rebooted phone.. but the changes dont seem to take affect..
i changed
ro.system.build.type=user to userdebug
ro.build.type=user to userdebug
ro.build.system_root_image=False to true
ro.secure=1 to 0
ro.adb.secure=1 to 0
ro.debuggable=0 to1
dont seem to do anything.. i went into the system with X-plorer and looked at build.prop and all is back to normal. so i unpack pulled the boot.img and and looked its the way i edited it.. i know im doing something wrong JUST learning.. thanks

AFAIK build.prop is housed in system.img and/or vendor.img or in both.

adding new jar files to system.img

For the developer device, what is the recommended way to add new jar files to
/system/frameworks
and .so files to
/system/lib
So far .. tried building the new system img from the source.
did
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
The device hangs .. shows the static android robo icon.
Copying these files to their appropriate directories works well on emulator though.

Modify an existing update.zip and resign it with a test key. That should work.
I am currently using the ADP Stock image from here. Is there a way to extract the keys from the device ? or Does this use the the keys provided in AndroidMod.Zip.
Also the ADP 1 Stock Image has system.tar !! Does this mean all the included files are signed ?

I may try to help. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you a pure stock ROM because I will need at least to root and install Droid2 Bootstrapper to get access to nandroid backups. Also my firmware is based on Brazil Retail SBF (with english language available). Is that good for you? Do you have a place where I can upload it? Also, do you need the whole nandroid backup or just the system.img?
I'm actually painfully uploading system.img from a stock-rom nandroid.
I guess you don't care about data.img and cache.img...
Boot.img is not saved in milestone2/droid2 nandroid, is it mandatory ?
Very nice man !!! ;-)

I don't think so as we won't be able to change it anyway. Even so, if you need boot.img, just open adb shell, get root, and type: cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/boot.img
help needed?
do you need more nandroids? i'm not a pro in this field, but i would like to help you.
so, what files do you need? just the *.img, clockwork creates by using the "backup"-option?

It isn't saved because the phone has a locked /boot partition. I don't need it since I'm not going to modify the /boot partition.

Found some way of hijacking init.rc, making CM possible. It's hard though.
that should do it...

[Q] What I need to compile a kernel that runs with Android 5.1?

Hi all,
I have a phone that is not popular and therefore it has no custom ROMs for it. I have managed to install a cwm from a similar phone and it worked. I have managed to install Android 5.1.1 too from a other similar phone (I've changed the paths in the flashable zip so it recognizes the /system and the /data partition). Now I'm stuck with the kernel. With the stock kernel, the phone doesn't boot, because it was designed for Android 4.4.4. I have managed to decompile the "boot.img" on my Ubuntu pc and now I have a folder with a few files... What I have to change in that folder to make it compatible with Android 5.1.1? I have following files in the decompiled "boot.img" folder:
boot.img-base
boot.img-cmdline
boot.img-pagesize
boot.img-ramdisk.gz
boot.img-zImage
I've decompiled the boot.img-ramdisk.gz and that showed more files:
data/
dev/
proc/
sbin/
sys/
system/
default.prop
file_contexts
fstab.qcom
init
... and so on
Now I know that I have to change some of those files to make it compatible, but I don't know which.
Any help is much appreciated.

Auto Boot / Start on charge (different devices)

Hello all,
i would like to buy a new (cheap) tablet which i can modify to auto boot / start on charge. I need this for an project. I plan to use this tablet as a mediaplayer in my new bathroom and the buttons of this tablet will not be reachable. Is it possible to modify every device to auto boot on charge or has someone experience with devices not working?
Thx and greetings
gigi
Sorry OP
i want to hijack this thread to to compile all successful method for different devices to autoboot when plug in /charging
any one to do this must root their device and use AIK to decompile/recompile boot.image, modify certain file depending on the device

HI there, i have installed this Rom to my samsung s8, it is pretty cool, and i am trying to set auto boot on USB power pluggin, but until now, no luck.
Since Android 10, seems the init.rc is regenerated every time when it boots, so unpack/repack of the .img solution seems not working any more. what i am trying next is via magisk module, still in process but no progress.
Is there any other way to do this? any light would be appreciated.

The init.rc is unpacked from the boot partition, you see in / only a copy of init.rc
What other solutions did you try to make it boot instantly?

I tried to unpack the boot image, and actually the init.rc is missing from the root path, i googled it, as i think it caused by the system version, starting from Android 10, init.rc will be only generated when booting, my system is LineageOS 17.1
when the system finishing booting, i can adb shell to the file, init.rc is there then, i tried to unpack the recovery image, the init.rc is there, i tried to change that and flash to boot, and recovery, no luck, after booting the init.rc still keep the same as before.
I am currently trying the magisk module, but not yet a solution.
As you said the init.rc is copyed from somewhere, do you know where?

Can you send me a link (google drive would be nice) to an unmodified version of your boot.img? I'll modify it correctly and send back to you

It is so kind of you, you can find my TWRP backup image here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dtdovnRIZY58SYqFBNEgT4TafktmAycd/view?usp=sharing
just have a clean backup there. but as i unpacked, there is no init.rc under root, hope you know a way for this.
Let me know if you found something, thx

The content of ramdisk is extracted from the boot partition every time it starts, so modifying init.rc does not work.
I extracted my boot partition to boot.img, then unpacked it, modified the init.rc inside, repackaged it as boot.img, and finally flashed into the boot partition
After the system started, I saw that the init.rc was modified
But it’s not pungent and has no effect

I removed the whole code in the on charger block and pasted just mine so in the block is ONLY those 2 commands.
This maybe results in an error bc charger class is started but not properly shutdown.
Another error could be the file, idk if there is a global init.rc in your boot.img if yes then search in there for on charger bc the global init.rc is called at first and only after that the others so maybe look if there is an on charger block in the unpacked boot img in the init.rc
But I don't know why you can't access the developer options anymore, it would help me to do if you explain a bit more detailed what's going on when you try to open them

hello.
one year ago, i can modify my xiaomi mix2s with xiaomi.eu rom. and the phone boots when the charger is connected. The modification i make power the phone, apears the chargin animation and after a second, the phone reboots and launch android.
The problem is, i must factory reset the phone and now, this not works, and i must do the trick again. but i dont remember what i did!!!!
somebody know how to modify the phone to boot when charger is connected??

Why Do my changes to the system partition not work?

WIll someone please help me? I had this same issue with the G7Play until I finally flashed a AOSP GSI an somehow that fixed it. I pulled the system.img file and mounted it to a folder on my laptop. I went in and modified prop files and added su binaries and took 'avb' outta the vendor/etc/fstab.qcom from my vendor img. I then used fastboot to flash it back to the phone but when I boot the phone none of the changes are there. So to make sure I wasnt trippen I went back and added a file with permisssions 777 on the root directory and named it THISMODWORKS and re-flashed the modifiied img to both partitions A and B. I boot the phone up and the file aint there? This is so damn aggravating? how the hell is the system partition not being modified when Im flashing the new image to both partitions? Please someone tell me why its doin this an how I can fix it?
