[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Phone Status: rooted, S-OFF, stock, BusyBox 1.17.1, CWM 5.0.2.7

File Manager: ES File Explorer

I believe I've found a bug or at least rather unusual behavior for Bloater, specifically when using it to uninstall Friendstream or Peep. When Bloater is used on either of these apps, it has the undesired side-effect of disabling the HTC Setting Widgets, in that the multiple widgets displayed under this option no longer show--a black screen appears when one selects the "Settings ..." widget option. Checking via ES File Explorer, htcsettingwidgets.apk and htcsettingwidgets.odex are present under /system/app, as is the folder com.htc.htcsettingwidgets under /data/data (although the lib subfolder is empty, but I think that's the way it's supposed to be). Any reinstallation attempt using the .apk fails.

If I uninstall any of the above apps manually, the HTC Setting Widgets are unaffected, so Bloater must be executing some other commands that obviously don't keep this particular widget set happy.

Tested using a Nandroid backup made just after I updated from the MoDaCo CWM to the official CWM 5.0.2.7, restoring after using Bloater on each of the above listed apps.

Has anyone else using Bloater observed the same behavior? Not earth-shattering, I know, but something is definitely happening under the hood with the app to cause what I've documented here. Curious to find out if it can be reproduced on other MT4GS phones.

PS: Bloater tends to leave quite a few files behind after uninstalling a given app (SD Maid checking for "corpses" afterward).

TIA for any replies or feedback; mostly curious as it's not mission critical, given that manual uninstall works as expected --

Sorry for the less then satisfying reply, posting puts it on my radar.

What exactly does bloater do? I use titanium to remove or freeze system apps, what's the difference?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Bloater is a bloatware removal app specifically for rooted/s-off MT4GS phones developed by Romanbb and Blue6IX. Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258834

Titanium is one method of dealing with bloat, Bloater is another. The app caught my interest since it was specifically for the MT4GS, and I'd like to help polish it with my meager skills.

@Blue - no worries, dude, I know you're herding a bunch of cats right now. Just shining some light on possible bugs so they can be properly squashed. :D

Thanks man - get to it as soon as I can. Meantime any theory or discussion cuts down on the time to resolution when I do get to this.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlco:
KingCheetah, I also noticed this bug with Bloater. Very similar situation (S-OFF, stock, BusyBox 1.19.3, CWM 5.0.2.7)

One way I have found to get the settings widget to function correctly again is to clear the HTC Sense data. From doing some searching, I found a thread in the Incredible forum with a similar problem (Apparently, too noob to post link?).

Pertinent takeaway:

- manage applications

- HTC Sense (click it)

- Click on "clear data"

- reboot your phone

This unfortunately means you'll have to reconfigure your homescreens but all other info (accounts, settings, applications, etc) are saved so nbd to drag a few icons around.

Anyway, I know this isn't an amazing fix for something that isn't an earth-shattering problem but it is my first post on XDA! Now to figure out how I managed to mess up the calender widget and if that was also Bloater related...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
This may be related to another missing widget situation as noted in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1478341. Linked by Blue in #2.

While an interesting workaround, it's a little scorched earth for me, nuking the homescreen set-up like that. Manual uninstall of the targeted bloat seems to be a more elegant solution, though more reading/learning intensive.

Welcome to the forums and the process of denoobifying ;)

The drivers DO WORK ON WIN 8 x64

All you need to do is disable driver signature enforcement and then install the drivers. They will install after throwing a warning.

If you need a guide to disable driver signature enforcement, please PM me as I don't visit this part of the forum as I don't have a Dell Streak.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
That doesnt count as that's true for all unsigned drivers, it also requires you be in test mode (either for a single boot or permenently).

Regardless there's no difference as none of these are actual drivers in that there's no actual code behind them. They only describe what the device does to windows.

Just an FYI --- these did work for me in Windows 8 Pro x64.

Needed to disable driver signing verification by:

-- Bringing up the charms menu on the "Start Screen"

-- Tap / Click on "Settings"

-- Tap / Click on "General"

-- Tap / Click on "Advanced Settings"

-- it will then reboot the PC, choose more settings / advanced settings, then choose the option for safe mode, driver signing disable, etc.

Yes, I brought this out of its dev status and into "Alpha 0" status. That's zero for zero data, zero camera, and zero kanged from Evervolv so don't even bring that up. I compiled this from the msm8660 source provided by qualcomm. You can check it out in the links below. Please feel free to rename, re-upload, reuse, recycle, or do whatever with this, just make sure you actually improve something and throw my name in the credits.

Please note that the I9100 is not the I727 and any code that is released for them will be of little to no use to our community. Just a heads up, if you post something about the I9100 in this forum, you will probably get flamed.

Known Issues

A Red Box will rarely appear along the boundaries of the screen. This is due to the nature of the build (eng)

Sometimes the signal bars will go off for a few seconds. Could be a ril issue, could be something else.

Many, many more

Help with fixing any of these issues is always appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
the kernel is definitely an issue. xboarder said he had someone working on one, so maybe try the kernel he had used to get his up and running (from what i saw in the videos at least).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xboarder56:
its a totally modifed kernel :D of drags :D i almost got signal working on mine too from my private tester :D

you will need drivers btw to get it booting to man not that easy :D i had to build my whole device tree it will be open sourced when i have build released
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Ah, ok. Way to go on the signal thing.

Yes, I know I need drivers to get it to boot. However, this isn't just compiled AOSP 4.0.3 (if that's what you were thinking) this is a release from qualcomm based on the msm8660 chipset (which we have in our phones) I also never said it was easy... Why don't you just release your code right now? The community would really appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xboarder56:
no man sorry dont want to release a half assed product you will have to make a ics kernel to get it to boot at all

Jomeister: I'm out of town this weekend, but I noticed a couple things I noticed in your logcat--

1. Libakm.so is missing. Could just be copied from GB Tom probably.

2. Vold seems to be complaining about partition numbers. The vold from CAF has a Max of 4 partitions built in. There is a define that I had to set to get it to recognize the external sdcard, which is on partition 28. See CM7's source. They have it right.

3. Kickstart isn't starting so the firmware isn't being loaded. See if you have a /system/bin/ks

Hope it helps. I could easily be mistaken though since I have no access to a computer.:)

Hey Jomeister, just a friendly suggestion: you might want to leave ICS or 4.0 on the thread topic name so it'll be easier to see on the forums. Up to you though :)

I looked through my log cat and I'm fairly sure it has something to do with the eGL drivers... take a look at this line.
