[Nexus S Android Development] brainmaster:
I have created a autobackup script for the EFS partition that contains information for your IMEI number.

I am addressing all ROM Developers to include this script in their ROM's!

What does this script do? It creates efs_autobackup folder on your SDCard and then tars the whole EFS partition into efs-backup.tar.gz file. Once this file is created, you can safely copy it to your PC. The script also looks for that file on reboot and if the file exists, it won't create another one.

What are the benefits of the tar file?

It keeps the permissions information for your EFS partition, so that when you want to restore your EFS partition, you only need to extract that file with the RootExplorer to your EFS partition and overwrite the old files. It sets the permissions automatically for you, so you don't need to mess or handle that yourself.

Please Developers, include this in your ROM so that users that forget to backup their EFS partition, don't have to regret that.

INSTRUCTIONS:
​

For Users:

If you are on ROM that don't have this script integrated - you can flash the attached zip file in your Recovery to integrate the script.

For Developers:

Either take the file from the attached zip or create 01efstar file (very important to name it with 01 prefix, since it runs as first when the Phone starts, otherwise it won't work) in the /system/etc/init.d folder with this content:

#!/system/bin/sh
# EFS Autobackup script for Samsung Nexus S
# By Brainmaster

mount /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/media /sdcard

if [ ! -f /sdcard/efs_autobackup/efs-backup.tar.gz ];
then
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/efs_autobackup
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs_autobackup/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
fi

umount /sdcard

What a good idea.
[Nexus S Android Development] window7:
Should I implement this on the radio zip file too? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] brainmaster:
No, this is ROM based. If the ROM don't support the scripts, then it won't work.

BUT, I am working on a version that can do this directly in the recovery (undependable from ROM) - then you can integrate it in every Radio flash file.

Not so easy to mount the efs partition through the updater-script.

From the next release on. If you want you can flash the script now.
[Nexus S Android Development] amosher13:
yeah i dunno, first i made my own script and put into etc/init.d (running netarchy 1.3.9 which obv supports init.d scripts) - no dice. so i removed that file and flashed the zip and still getting no backup on sd.

[Nexus S Android Development] apreichner:
I will include this script in my next rom update. I believe every dev should do the same.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ezekeel:
Good idea to put this into every ROM. Some people probably are not aware of the danger and if anything happens at least they can find the backup files on their sdcard. Maybe one should also add a small text file as an explanation what this backup is good for, so they do not accidentally delete it. Maybe you could also change the backup file on the sdcard to read-only.

Btw, you can also make a simple backup image with 'dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock6 of=efs.img'.

And for the record: I wondered why the /efs partition is mounted read-write and thought it might be a good idea change this to read-only. Problem was, without write access to /efs the SIM card would not unlock anymore. So not a good idea. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] bedalus:
Just got my phone back from Regenersis with the IMEI restored! Shows that it can be done!
[Nexus S Android Development] atrixboy:
Actually it should be as follows seeing as we get a read-only error;

dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock6 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.img
[Nexus S Android Development] brainmaster:
Please, IF you want to use the option to make efs.img (I don't know why would you like to do that, because tar is easier to extract and keeps the permissions), THEN you need right command.

You misspelled allot.

dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock6 of=/sdcard/efs.img
[Nexus S Android Development] atrixboy:
Yea I realised that after I hit post. I agree rfs is much nicer and cleaner to deal with.

dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock6 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.img

Or efs.rfs. however you prefer. Rfs being the more logical
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Because mtd6 contains more than the visible files mounted on /efs, such as the wimax keys.

My question is how to restore the partition without having to worry about this:
[Nexus S Android Development] Ezekeel:
Darn. I did not know that.

Turns out one should use nanddump and nandwrite from mtd-utils (http://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git). Maybe someone can compile a version for Android. That would be quite useful.

i would be surprised to see the manufacturer ship a device with an overclockable kernel .. generally they wont as they're afraid of people damaging the device by overclocking too high and having to replace the device under warranty.

but, if you wanted to use a manual process..heres a rough start:

a great place to start is in /sysfs under each, cpu0 and cpu1, should have some files you can echo to ...

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

and /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq

Hello

I changed some png images with 7zip and copied back to system/framework/ but i got boot loop.

I would like to know how to modify and replace .apk that will work normal?

Thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
How exactly did you replace the png's? Because the 'normal' proces of unzip-replace-rezip doesn't work.

The most easy way to changes png's:

1. Open framework-res.apk in 7-zip

2. Search for the files you want to change and copy them to your hard disk (do not unzip!!)

3. change the files. Make sure the name stays EXACT the same.

4. Open framework-res.apk and copy your new files in the desired place. By doing so, the original files will be replaced by your files. DO NOT USE ANY COMPRESSION (if asked select 'store').

5. Go into recovery, mount /system and replace the framework-res.apk by the new one. Reboot phone.

Take home message: never unzip :-)

Hope it works now!

Erwin
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urkotheone:
i went to recovery and hit mount/system. But how can i replace it?

Thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
You have to use adb to do is. I assume you know how to work with it. If not, you have to search for a little tutorial (can't link you right now because I'm using the xda app)

Put the new framework-res.apk in the same folder as adb.exe. Open the command prompt and brows to that same folder. Type in your command prompt:

adb shell mv system/framework/framework-res.apk system/framework/framework-res.old

adb push framework-res.apk system/framework

adb reboot

Due to the first command, you have a backup of your original framework-res.apk. To restore it, you have to boot in recovery, mount /system and again by the use of the command prompt, type:

adb shell rm system/framework/framework-res.apk

adb shell mv system/framework/framework-res.old system/framework/framework-res.apk

adb reboot

One more problem

When discharging it's working, but when I charge phone i don't get no battery icon. I believe it's because in original framework i had 100 png animations for charging and now i have only 20. Is there a way to fix this?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
Then it is going to be much more complicated than that. Perhaps I can explain you in more detail tomorrow, but you will have to look up some things for yourself.

First, you should decompile the framework-res.apk first using apktool. You will notice that it almost looks like it just dezips your apk, but when you look closely, you will see now that you can open and read the xml files.

Second, you have to open res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml (or something similar, perhaps it depends on your ROM). Try to understand what is written and make some changes (it is really not that hard) so that your system shows only 20 different images, in stead of 100.

Third, you have to recompile your modified framework-res.apk. Then pull stat_sys_battery.xml out of "your" framework-res.apk into the original framework-res.apk, but again, without unzipping one of them. Do, of course, the same thing with your images.

I must admit, I've been busy with the battery icons myself. It was my plan to do something similar like you did, but I didn't do it yet. So all the things I've written above where the things I was planing to do, but

I don't know if it will work, as I never tried it myself.

So please, keep me/us informed ;-)

Good luck!

EDIT: I used this site to know how to decompile apk's.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_dragonlady:
This is an old thread but I wanted to edit my systemUI.apk file with changing out a couple images... if I was to upload the file I edited (by just swapping out the images) to the UOT kitchen and use a mod, say the battery mod, would it make the file usable on my phone or would I get a bootloop or worse?

Basically what I did was opened up the SystemUI.apk file using 7zip and just swapped out the images I wanted (making sure I saved the original ones of course). I didn't unzip/zip anything.. I just opened it using 7zip and then closed it. It didn't ask me if I wanted to save anything though??

Sorry for the stupid question... but I thought it would be an idea as I want to use the UOT to make a mod to the theme I have anyways. :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
I don't know if I understand you fully, but I believe it would: only if the UOT changed the images that you have changed, you will not see the things you have changed.

What I did some time ago was upload my framework en systemui to the UOT, apply the battery mod and than change the battery images with my own. I did that just by opening the apk in WinRAR and adding my images, just like you did.

But if you only want to swapp some images, there is no need for uploading it to the UTO. Just continue as you did. Just make sure that you keep the original systemui.apk on your hdd. In case of a bootloop, you can easely revert.

Is that een answer to your question?

Erwin
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_dragonlady:
Yes, it does.. and thanks. I ended up following the instructions on another thread I found on here... don't remember exactly which one but it basically omitted uploading the files to the UOT. It was a guide on how to theme your phone... sorry but I didn't save the link. :(

thanks again!

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
I always work with Winrar, and in there you have the option for compression, which is selected at "medium compression" by default, and that causes bootloops.

So make sure that you don't compress your apk when adding your new png, or it will not work.
