Hey Condi - I'm trying to track down the R5A firmware for Canada. Just tried this tool, and the auto setting isn't working. I'm still on your old rooted firmware (4.0.3).

Any tips on how I can help figure out where the Canada R5A firmware is located? Sony's claiming it's been out since the USA one.

[Sony Tablet S] <robin>:
auto setting is only useful AFTER you update to new rom

it read your new setting,and guess url

if you have not update,try my way:

install a net sniffer,shark for root

just capture when checking update,

open resault by shark reader,find string ".zip"

something like this

When I install a new ROM I do a data wipe/factory reset each time but I always find some things left over from the previous ROM like app settings and files.

SHouldnt the process completely blank my phone and start over? If not should I be doing this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndresOrue:
When u flash doing wipe factory reset u format and reinstall all system files but u don't format ur internal card for that reason u still have some app setting and u still have all ur data like music and image. If u want clear all format ur internal card from setting - storage - erase ur internal card or from recovery - format internal sd card . Be carefully ur will lost all ur data with it :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I just flashed the first real version of my new rom, and it appears that the settings app is not installed?!?!?! I have no idea why, I can see it in /system/app with the file browser, but it does not show in my app drawer and if I try to install it it tells me I don't allow unknown sources. but if I click change settings it obviously force closes since settings doesn't exist. does anyone have any idea what could cause this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
The exact same thing just happened to me last night! Ironic... :)

I have not had time to dig into it again yet (hopefully tonight)... but I also had the setup issue and "this is not a blur device" when trying to use the stock home. I partially suspect the moto setup issue is related to cheescake... once i reinstalled cheesecake, switched to the default server, then setup worked fine...

I'll let you know what I find out about settings tonight... you likewise - let me know what you come up with..

Edit- to explain the cheesecake thing... i think I used a backup or some files from one after I had been checking different servers on cheesecake.. so i think the non-default server settings got transferred over.

Anyone know which files cheesecake affects?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
So, I was just giving it another go, and for some reason or another, right after I hit build I decided to go back and change an apk - right before I started the zip-align process... and low and behold there was no Settings.apk in the working folder! Very strange.. i don't recall removing it... So, I tossed it back in.

We'll see what happens.. gotta finish up this draft.
[Motorola Atrix 2] spiriitus:
I just had this happen to me last week. I flashed a ROM (don't remember the name) then decided I wanted to try Lithium. I didn't read the small print on the post that says you have to flash Lithium 1.2 first, do a full boot into OS, then reboot and flash 1.2.1. When I flashed directly to 1.2.1 I was missing my Settings just like you described.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Dude, I don't know if you figured it out, bricked your phone, or are furiously busy trying to crank out a new ROM... But, i've come to the conclusion that the mysterious missing Settings.apk has something to with the xml edits and/or recompiling the apk. Had another round of flashing, and I made a couple extra update.zips this time along with the full rom.

So, initially after flashing the rom, I went and checked with root explorer and the settings.apk was physically there.. but was not being recognized by the system (I think TB showed it as uninstalled). So, I flashed one of my settingsfix.zips that I made - first the one with my xml edits (that had previously been de/recompiled) - and it was a no go - still not seeing Settings. Then I flashed a version from a Stock set, and that fixed it.

I am still having the Accounts Setup issue though - that's my pain in the... But, I made another setupfix.zip and that helped me skip the Account Setup - I can add google accounts with no problem, but when I try to add a yahoo account I get a login failed... and when I check for software updates through settings and try to setup a moto account, I get connection failed...still suspecting cheesecake.

Edit - Yup. Cheesecake - I just reinstalled it - did not hit the top "install necessary files" button - just switched to the default production server, and then went back to settings to check for system update - and this time the moto account was setup no problem, and my device is up to date... What the heck does cheesecake modify?? Where are those servers listed?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
still having the issue. the app is there, but will not be recognized, is it a permissions issue? any idea how to fix it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Did you try just flashing the Settings.apk only? If that's a no go, then its the apk - if it goes, then it's a problem with the rom building...

I can't figure it out yet but I got all of my settings working, inverted.. I think I started from scratch again but flashed it separately.. I haven't had a chance to dig into it again recently.. but yea.. don't know..
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I tried writing a zip to flash it again after install of the rom. next i guess I will try installing the rom by backup, as that will probably work better. I think flashable zips are much better though. I have been using JRW28's inverted settings app, so Maybe I'll grap a normal one from a stock rom and see how that works.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Try signing the Settings.apk - it worked for me. Here's what I figured out so far if you are decompiling apks... (no need for simple image editing/swapping...)

SIGN:

Settings

PerformanceManager

DON'T SIGN:

BatteryManager

DataManager

framework-res

moto-res

blur-res

SystemUI

Not certain about the **-res.apks and SystemUI since I did those so long ago, but.. I got all inverted settings/task manager/Battery&Data manager working!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
good idea, I'll have to try signing them, I hope this ends up being the problem.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
The settings apk looks for a signature that matches the major system apks. If it doesn't match it will not run at boot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Along with that (I think this helps with the signature check), I placed blur-res, framework-res, moto-res, and SystemUI apks in my \Apk_Manager_5.0.2\other folder, then opened the command line on that folder and set the framework dependees or whatever...

CODE:

apktool if framework-res.apk

(hit Enter)

apktool if blur-res.apk

(hit Enter)...

...for all of the apks

Then do your de/recompiling...
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Well, I am baffled again.. I threw those new signed/unsigned apks in a rom build I was working on, flashed it, and Setting.apk was missing again... So, I flashed the small update zip with inverted Settings.apk and PerformanceManager.apk I made earlier that day and flashed successfully while on stock. And, Settings.apk came back (and was inverted), but Task Manager force closes - then I tried to flash a restore zip (with stock settings and task manager) - and it restores Settings, but doesn't fix the task manager - So, needless to say, I am back to square one in my understanding of all of this. I am assuming it is merely a signature check issue somehow??

Like I said, I had everything working yesterday on stock 2.3.6 after flashing a small update.zip with new signed Setting.apk and PerformanceManager.apk, and another one with unsigned battery and data manger apps.. Ended up restoring back to stock by the end of the day, and now today those same zip packages don't work like they did yesterday... Are new signatures created each time when the system is installed (or re-installed)? It was the exact same system restore on which I built the new inverted apks - so, I am very confused.

I will get to the bottom of this.. but, if anyone can shed some more light on the situation, that'd be great...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
still no luck here either. I got my stuff working as a cwm backup, but it won't boot passed the boot logo (motorola M) now, so who knows. I am busy right now, but after next week I should have a lot more time to work on this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Just tried another restore.zip, but nothing fixes Task Manager for me now.. Could it be that something is created in /data based on the apk in /system? So, when I flash older stock versions it doesn't fix it, since some link has been created outside of the apk?

Another thing possibly worth noting is that I am working with .apks and their .odex counterparts... but, that shouldn't be making a difference since I am not messing with the odex files.. plus, you've got similar problems, and I am assuming you are working with deodexed apks...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
yep, I'm using jrw28s inverted settings
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
OK.. Did a little more researching.. And, I think you need to resign all of the moto system apks with the same key.. then the signatures should match up, and apps shouldn't fail to be recognized...

I believe this is only if you are editing the AndroidManifest.xml, otherwise you can just copy the META-INF folder from the original apks with 7zip to retain the signature...

Not sure about the details and if it will actually work, also not sure exactly which apks to re-sign (probably the major 4), but that's my next game plan... trial and error... still trying to make sense of it all.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sky2k4@CHN:
good idea, I'll have to try signing them, I hope this ends up being the problem.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
What I discovered (through numerous trials and error) is that you can't mess with the AndroidManifest.xml... Something gets messed up with the signature (i.e. it doesn't match the framework signatures, or maybe it needs to match all of the moto apk sigs - not sure yet - because sometimes it worked when I pushed them separately), and the system doesn't recognize the apk.

But once I got re-did all of the apks without editing the AndroidManifest - all of my problems went away. I still was able to decompile the apks and edit /res/values xmls, just not that manifest..

So, as for the OP's problem, it looks like JRW's inverted Settings.apk (which were probably created by editing the AndroidManifest), is not matching the signatures of the other major apks in your ROM..

I will still try to figure out how to safely edit the manifest when I get around to it... any hints from JRW28 would be great! Is that the reason you had to originally make a separate update.zip for the inverted settings in Lithium?

Side note, I also figured out my setup issues... it was cheesecake related, along with my Settings.apk missing.

A couple of things finally clicked for me two nights ago...:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Thanks, not sure whether I am even going to continue with this or not. With ics stuff starting to roll in I might save my time for that.

I'm running the ChargeBar app to show the battery line at the top of the screen. It helps with knowing where the battery is at.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cfbauer:
The biggest issue aside from not knowing the exact battery percentage when not charging, is when the phone is charging you have no idea how much battery is charged at all! The battery indicator animates between empty and full, so you don't even get an approximation of how much is charged. It's a major oversight.
