Hey, I was wondering if it was hard to create these roms?

It looks like the equivalent to using nLite or somethin to slipstream different packages in, and to remove anything else unwanted. Is it that way? But perhaps, with a command line rather than a GUI?

I am currently running UnNamed 1.0.3, but there are still a few changes I'd like to make myself, i.e. to touchwiz. Could I go and edit this too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Depends on the customizations - removing stuff can be quite easy - just remount /system read/write and go to town on /system/app

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html has a list of safe/unsafe removals for I9100 - we're pretty close to it.

Adding stuff can often be quite difficult - In general, many of the frameworks are interconnected, so for example, you might add something that depends on our framework having a component that isn't there, and it'll go break. Or that component might be there, but have a different resource ID. Things get really difficult really fast once you start getting into smali/baksmali land...

At some point I'm going to start documenting the steps I've taken to where I am with my own personal device right now in terms of debloating and modifications - but I haven't had the time to document it yet. Whenever it does come, I will warn you - my guide will be useless to someone that doesn't have a fairly high degree of familiarity with a Unix shell. I intend it to be a high-level guide for people who have reasonably good general technical skills but lack familiarity with the Android userspace stack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
Ahhh... Somalia/baksmali land. Oh how I hated that place when I began to learn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
I'll really be looking forward to this guide then as the Unix shell is where I'm comfortable, but I'm not too familiar with the Android userspace stack. I suppose I've my own self to blame for not making the time to get familiar with it, but as busy as I stay with work, being on-call and all the ad-hoc that comes in between, time for Android can be scarce. A guide would save me a lot of time for sure and be very much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demon9206:
Ah, gotcha. Seems pretty intense then, not quite like Slipstreaming Windows as I imagined. Too bad.

So this is not something to pick up quickly and just do it then, huh? Too bad. Guess I'll have to rely on you guys! Thanks to all that go through this lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Some things are easy, some things are harder.

Debloating is easy - just nuke stuff from /system/app one at a time, using this as a guide: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html

Keep a backup around in case you nuke something you shouldn't.

Deodexing - harder, I needed to use dsixda kitchen with a few caveats (such as CWM 5.x backups will NOT work as input to a dsixda dump - you need to use dd to dump your /system partition). According to gtg465x, deodexing with dsixda is OK, doing any more with it will incur the wrath of the ROM gods.

One thing to clearly start looking at - smali/baksmali. Smali/baksmali is a ***** on odexed ROMs, if a ROM you're using is odexed, deodex it or run away unless you like pain and suffering.

gtg's github repo for unnamed ROM serves as great smali/baksmali reference for many runs - but if you try to copypasta his changes, Bad Things will usually happen.

This is from the Sony Xperia X10 section, which is the phone I came from. Not sure if this Script/Application can be adapted for the Galaxy, but this allows a user to Port a MiUI ROM in "30 seconds" I only played with it a little bit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mvitachi:
My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.

When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks

Hello,

I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.

There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release

Ok, this is what you do.

In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

[HD2 General] Mister B:
Maybe mainboard CPU fault causing freezing or perhaps a bad Android ROM.

Worth trying another Android build & if freezing persists it is probably hardware as mentioned above.

I used superoneclick to root and this "How to Root Sidekick 4g + CWM All in One" youtube video (sorry can't embed it) to flash CWM. I ran a nandroid backup which may or may not have actually completed and tried to install Smooth Maximus ROM. It crashed mid install and now when I try to boot into recovery or into the ROM it freezes at the sidekick/samsung logo and when I try to boot into download mode it freezes with a battery icon and a stuck loading icon.

Or a card reader and delete it with your computer. That's the easiest way. I've been there myself. Lol

using ADB to restore

I tried to use the methods described in:

:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919353

However it is not clear where should the factory.zip go?

for some reason it also says that the /dev partition is only 244MB so I cannot flash the system.img, it is probably the partition in the SD card and not the memory, so not much advancement here either. I also think that because it gives me 11223344556677 as the S/N and not the real one.

The quest to restore the nook continues...

Is there a way to manually repartition through ADB?

[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
factory.zip and rombackup.zip should be located on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

system should be written to /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

1123344556677 is normal for the device listing when adb'ing in when running CWM on the uSD

to write the img files you need to use:

dd if=(IMG FILE ON SD) of=(PARTITION ON /dev... i.e. /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

to help you out...here's a list of what goes where:

mmcblk0p1-boot.img

mmcblk0p2-rom.img

mmcblk0p3-factory.img

mmcblk0p4-logical.img

mmcblk0p5-system.img

mmcblk0p6-data.img

mmcblk0p8-media.img

problem:

thanks for the reply, I am studying more about andriod and adb now than during all my bachelor's.

just

adb push factory.zip /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ??

and

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(in some places I saw they didn't write "/block")

and where is rombackup.zip from?

the problem is that for some reason /dev/ is only 244MB so I can't dd system.img, only the boot.img.

I wish that somewhere in the world would exist something that solves it from CWR, just some zip I would install to fix boot+factory+system in one stroke...
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
to get factory and rombackup zip files on mmcblk0p3...

adb shell mkdir /sdcard/tmp3

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard/tmp3

adb push factory.zip /sdcard/tmp3

adb push rombackup.zip /sdcard/tmp3
[Nook Color General] reifba:
more problems (desperation is looming)

when I type the above I get

root@android:/ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard/tmp3
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

I had to do it in the shell in order to su.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
then I would use

mount rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard/tmp3

If that doesn't work:

mount rw -o remout /dev/bloc/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard/tmp3

but it would appear something else is amiss... since it even shows the command should have worked... since everything other than the command (mount) the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p3) and directory (/sdcard/tmp3) are optional parameters

just 1 question regarding wifi calling is the update really happening first couple of weeks of november and is there a way to tell if my old sim card is able to use it which is about 8 months old or should i just install the new 1? Reason I ask is because I've read some people had the new sim card taken by a rep when they bought the phone saying the old 1 they had looked the same. Thx in advance

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
ordered mine online so i still have my new sim just havent installed it yet but want to make sure if i will get the update with the old 1 in or not and it would also be helpful to everyone else that got the new sim taken away if we could know the difference between the new 1 and the last 1 before it so we could either go grab 1 or install it if we have it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I would like to say that the old sim will work, but since I haven't even seen what the new sim looks like to compare the two I have no idea. I wonder if T-Mobile told the reps to take the sim card or the reps are just stealing them for their own personal reason.

was just comparing mine and my old 1 has a smaller almost square shape gold connector while the new 1 has a longer rectangular shape gold connector but not as big as the real older 1s that took up almost the whole card... guessing im gonna have to change mine up just in case because it is different.

Those of you asking whether or not WiFi calling will work with your SIM card: You must have a card that has TM9177 printed on the back. (According a good friend who happens to be my T-Mobile rep)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
The short answer is no. You would need return it where you got it from. If it was from say....another person that got it through T-mobile, either locally or customer care you would need an order# or reciept for them to process an exchange. Samsung covers the device for one full year from the date of purchase (Samsung seems pretty strict and may ask for the original purchase reciept also). The best thing honestly, is to buy it from somewhere that will honor the warranty. Saving a few bucks now may cost you down the line.

Worst case senario, call tmo and tell them the deal. Tech support may be willing to work with you to get warranty replacement if you were the 1st # associated with the IMEI. Remember all of this is YMMV, I can almost always get tmo to help me out, but in a recent & super similar case I was denied. I ended up selling the one I had to buy a new one after some careful wording to a customer loyalty soop. Again YMMV, but some ideas and facts to consider :D

Hope that helps.

Thanks for offering to contribute from your experience as a rep. It's much appreciated since, as you are even more aware than us, not all reps have the same knowledge base or interest in these devices.

One thing that would be awesome would be if you could let us know of any known issues that T-mo tells its reps to be aware of (i.e. if you receive any information about issues that customers may come in with).

We're pretty much all still in our 14 day period and sometimes it's nice to be aware of possible defects such that we can look for them as early as possible to see if we are affected.

Just call CC and they Can update it for you. Just read them the numbers..
