What a silly solution. Just use Root Call Blocker.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vincentlodato:
Hey been on these forums forever since i was installing themes on my hp ipac or htc shadow. Not a noob by any meens. Been flashing android since my G1. Now that thats out of the way im trying to flash a ICS leak to mess with the webtop 3.0. I was coming from a stock/rooted .181...

1. I fastbooted to .181 using the droid razr 1.6 utility.

2. then i root using ICS installer Combo.

3. Next i use the ICS installer Combo to install the .79 leak.

4. allowed rom manager and su user permissions. i get an error that it can not mkdir to /sdcardEXT.. is this a normal error? Either way once the phone reboots it starts install but then gets the ! in the triangle and what i assume, fails and reverts back to .181.... What am i doing wrong iv been at it for like 3 hours and im pulling my hair out trying to figure out what im missing. My battery is at 40%, is that an issue? Assuming not since if i can fastboot to .181 i should be able to install .79

Hopefully this makes sense and thanks for taking a look
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
I had something similar to this happen to me when downgrading-rooting-upgrading my Transformer Prime. It failed the upgrade OTA part because I had modified the build.prop and that kept it from installing the upgrade and I got the ! triangle. Have you changed anything? Frozen any apps? Changed your build.prop from stock?

There is a directory you can look in for the log file of why it failed the upgrade. I think it is under /cache/recovery directory from root. (you have to be rooted to see it and use a root explorer). Open the log file and see why its failing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vincentlodato:
Thanx for the quick reply. if memory serves me right i modified the build prop to mess with the s-voice app. so your saying fastbooting wouldnt restore this? if not i guess il have to figure out how i changed it and change it back before trying this install again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Well, I would have thought fastbooting would bring it to total stock, but I had made a change in my build.prop AFTER I had downgraded I believe. I think I would check that directory if you can /cache/recovery for the log file and see whats causing your failure specifically. Again, you'll need a good root explorer (like "Root Explorer") and make sure you have it do root so you can see the sub directories too. I was using ES Explorer and it was not seeing the /cache/recovery directory, just /cache and using Root Explorer showed me the sub folder.

PS> Changing your build.prop back to what it looked like before the change didn't work for me. I had to get a stock, unmodified build.prop form another user on here for it to work.

PPS> Why are you wanting to install the leak? Its pretty much been all but confirmed its happening OTA very soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vincentlodato:
Ok i checked out the build.prop alot of stuff in there but seems to all be correct.

I checked that log file and at the very bottom i get this.

Finding update package...

I:Update location: /cache//Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip

Opening update package...

I:1 key(s) loaded from /res/keys

Verifying update package...

E:failed to open /cache//Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip (No such file or directory)

I:verify_file returned 1

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Have no idea what that means tho... If anyone needs the whole log to help me out let me know
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Well, thats a lot different than what mine said so your problem is different, but I'm sure someone can help with that info. Heres what mine said when it was the build.prop:

file "/system/build.prop" doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums; checking cache

failed to stat "/cache/saved.file": No such file or directory

failed to load cache file

script aborted: assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop"

etc...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vincentlodato:
Yeah hopefully someone can, i mean with the ota around the corner this is not too big of an issue as long as it doesn't effect the official ota. Thanks for taking the time tho.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Well, the only other thing I can think of thats happened in the past is the wrong "region" file for the phone you are trying to update.

Like you are on US_ENG on your phone and you are trying to flash a WW_ENG or something so its not matching up? *shrug* just a blind guess. Hope someone can help you out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
This may or may not help, but I got that error back in the day flashing a ROM on my D2. In clockwork there was a option to disable and enable signature verification.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Or maybe the zip is messed up?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vincentlodato:
See the thing is i did this all through the guide in the dev section. i would have posted it there but i didnt have enough posts to post there, im more of a reader than a preacher. i only downloaded the 2 files with the 2 different batch scripts. 1 to fastboot to .181 and 1 to install ICS. Il figure it out eventually, but thanks guys. hopefully someone gets me there sooner.

**fixed it, i ended up using the permissions option in rom manager and also made sure the phone was over 50% and it worked so hopefully this helps soeone eles if they stumble across it.

Do you have some sd card booster or something? Because that hapened to me too. Except it rebooted while it was still connected to the pc. And i think it was because of the sd boost software.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tgtoys:
This thread is a place to discuss the new Microsoft on{x} app. Main goal is to share recipes and help each other learn how to use and create scripts.

Microsoft has released a new app for Android (only:D) that allows us to set triggers to initiate actions. The app seems very similar to Tasker (http://goo.gl/38haC), which has been around for a while, but takes a different approach.

On{x} utilizes Java scripts to control your device and trigger actions based on a wide variety of variables, including time, location, movement/speed, weather conditions, and much more. The app requires you to use your Facebook login, but has only 1 allowance which can be changed to private. Looks like a great tool that has pretty endless possibilities, let's see what we can do!

Resources:

Play Store App Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.onx.app

On{x} Homepage (create recipes, documentation & more): https://www.onx.ms/#!landingPage

How on{x} works (video):http://youtu.be/qfLMTsIJsoo

Let's get started coming up with some cool & useful recipes. Hopefully we can get a good balance of people who understand Java to help others learn to create their own recipes, and maybe even start taking requests and having them created.

I'll keep this post updated with helpful tips as we go.

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to what we can put together.

BTW, we all understand the facebook login thing is not ideal. Let's keep discussion here related to the app itself and actually using it. If you don't use it, please don't bother posting that you refuse to use it because of Microsoft choosing facebook login. We get it :rolleyes:

Thread Updates

- Attached on{x} apk to this thread for direct download

- Posted the first script from a contributor to this thread. Post #2 will list details & scripts that we come up with here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tgtoys:
Codes developed in this thread:

Launch app on power disconnect

This script launches an app when you disconnect your phone from AC/power. Currently, this is set to launch a dutch weather app (Weer). To modify, simply change the word "Weer" to the name of the app you would like to launch. You can also change "Weather app started" to say whatever you like upon action.

Thanks to DJPBX for the script!

device.battery.on("stoppedCharging", function(){

var apps = device.applications;

apps.launch('Weer');

console.info('Weather app started');

});

One more for safe keeping...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deleted member 4123551:
Actually really like it :) i actually do not know any javascript, but i'm already writing some small rules; like launch the weather app when i disconnect my phone from the charger (i always charge overnight next to my bed), or launch Spotify on unlock.

I wanted to create a rule, where my phone would go silent when leaving my home wifi network, only there is no API yet for putting the phone silent :D

Also, i experience a much worse battery life. normally i unplug my phone on 6.35AM, and around 10 PM the battery is totally empty. now it already was empty on 3PM.

It has big potential, but it's API list and battery life really need to be made better ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tgtoys:
Good to know, I was wondering what effect this would have on battery. I wonder if it is trigger dependent or the general monitor service itself that's draining.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] agentafter:
on{X} apk

I was wondering whether someone can upload the .APK of this app, because I'd like to try it on my device. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deleted member 4123551:
Hmm i now only used a wifi recognition rule, but I think rules that use GPS will be real battery-eaters :p

I couldn't find it in the play store app, but used the website instead and it downloaded instantly (ICS)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tgtoys:
Here ya go..I will update op with apk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b34r5:
Cheers for setting up this thread- on{x} looks like it could turn into something really interesting once they iron the kinks out and sort out activation sans Facebook!

I was wondering if anyone had any pointers (noob level I'm afraid) for adding a time condition to the recipes? I was hoping to modify one of the existing recipes so that it will remind me something when I pass a location while on the train- that bit is easy- but I only want it to work on the outward journey and not the way home.

Likewise the 'text someone when I leave work' rule could really use this functionality. It sort of falls down for anyone who has to pop out (i.e. for lunch)!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dstruct2k:
Wrap the entire rule in something like

if(time > START_TIME && time < END_TIME){
....
}

I just don't know the exact API call to get the current device time, and if it returns seconds-since-epoch or human-readable time. Hopefully that points ya in the right direction.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] conantroutman:
Would you mind sharing your launch weather app rule?;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vintage144:
Microsoft + FaceBook + Android = DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Im sorry but Microsoft getting involved isnt a good thing! and using FB as the launcher , whats the reason for this? We all use Android which is Google which FB and Microsoft hate! Nothing can come of this , however because the Android community has so many talented devs ,once they copy this and use it for Android users ,it might be worth a look , not now, I dont use FB or twitter or any of those social media (advertising outlets)!

Here you go. Change 'weer' in apps.launch('...'); to the name of your weather app.

Now you know what the dutch word for Weather is too ;)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] J-r0en:
Would be very intrested in those recipies! My javascript knowledge isnt that awsome :\ working on it though!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] |EverybodyLies|:
I created a rule for my personal usage, not too complex, as I don't know fairly anything about JS but here it is in the case someone finds it useful. It starts an app (in my case a weather app called Weatherwise) the first time the phone gets unlocked after 10:00 AM. It's easy to change the app or trigger time to fit your wishes.

//Variables

var time = "10:00 AM";
var app = 'Weatherwise';

device.screen.on("unlock", function(){

var lastDateScreenUnlocked = device.localStorage.getItem('lastDateScreenUnlocked');
var today = new Date().toDateString();
var dailyTime = new Date(today + ' ' + time);
var now = new Date();
var apps = device.applications;
if (now > dailyTime) {
// if it is the first time the device was unlocked today
if (!lastDateScreenUnlocked || lastDateScreenUnlocked !== today) {
apps.launch(app);
console.info(app + 'started');
device.localStorage.setItem('lastDateScreenUnlocked', today); // update the last time the screen was unlocked
}
}
});

The app and time can be changed in the first two lines of codes, changing the content after "var time" and "var app".

Hope someone finds it useful.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zachpozniak:
Any of our amazing developers want to try and port an ice cream sandwich build off of the Optimus 4x? Sounds like a good idea but it also sounds pretty hard. I was just thinking of this today and I thought it was worth posting to at least get some ideas floating around. (:

I want opinions, comment below!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
ain't gonna work buddy. The ICS build found on the 4x is written based on the architecture of tegra 3 and other newer hardware. We would need the official build from LG to get a stable build of ICS for our G2x.

Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zachpozniak:
Very true. It'd be nice to get a 'look alike' or something that runs or feels like it. It looks pretty solid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] missaellpzchvz:
It's not a bad idea, yet as stated before it is complicated and very time consuming to port a complete framework based on a different processor. It's not impossible but Idk of anyone would be up to the challenge. In the O2x forums there is a post on the LG UI framework with looks amazing and I would most definitely love to see something like that for the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Whyzor:
It's more practical to try & grab the proprietary binary driver files from it and see if it's compatible with O2/G2x's tegra2 platform. Those are the main missing pieces of CM9.

[Motorola Droid 4] collins521:
So I got a Droid 4 and seem to be having problems with Safestrap enabling the safe side, is there a way I can RSD back to complete stock so I can go back and do everything myself? I know when I had a Razr I had the same issue but when I RSD backed to stock I was able to root and go back to everything myself and didn't have any problems after that.

I've looked and couldn't find anything to do it...anyone?

**I had it disabled running the stock rom, installed Safestrap went into recovery and was going to switch to the safe side and it gave me a error. So I went to reboot my phone and now everything is wiped and I lost everything
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
You are not the first one to have this problem. I had this happen to me a few weeks ago and have seen a few others posting of similar issues since. Not sure what is happening that is causing this. Did you make a backup of you non-safe system? If you did you can try restoring it although that did not work for me. Kept getting stuck restoring system.orig. Reboot just brings you back to a completely wiped stock ROM. Really strange. What I did to fix safestrap was uninstall safestrap recovery, delete the safestrap folder on /sdcard, then re-install safestrap recovery. I think somehow something is getting corrupted when switching between the safe and non-safe system.

I haven't seen a good guide on XDA for using the fastboot files to restore your phone to stock but here is a good guide from DroidForums courtesy of SGMD1.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...otorola-droid-4-xt894-stock-windows-only.html

I would also highly recommend using Titanium Backup or something similar to backup all you apps and data. That way, if something like this happens again, you can restore all you stuff.
[Motorola Droid 4] collins521:
Thanks that's what I was looking for, as far as having a back up...no I don't have one since it came with Safestrap and running eclipse I don't have a backup of the stock that's why I was wanting to start from scratch and get my ducks in a row with everything

I did the following:

1- HTCdev unlock

2- Changed my CID to "HTC__001"

3- Rooted my stock room

4- Flashed 4ext custom recovery

the I tried the "3 STEPS" way to downgrade my Hboot "which is now 1.49.0018", but I always get the "HTC logo on the black background" and nothing happens.

I even tried to get the official RUU with the Hboot=1.49.0007, but the installer is giving me [Error 140], I looked in the internet and they say that you can't install older Ruu over a newer one "my software number is 1.24.415.6 and the number for the Ruu I'm trying to install is 1.20.401.2"

how can I just get the S-off "I've been trying for 2 days now"

please someone help or direct me :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Destroyer88:
got the answer

apparently what was going wrong is that after running STEP1 a file called "mmcblk0p31" was copied to my SD-card, but and after that I lose the option "as disk drive" on my mobile "I really don't know why", so to modify it with "xvi32" I needed to physically eject the card and re-insert it again and this time as disk drive, then I did exactly as said ...

p.s. for the same reason "STEP2" couldn't do its work I guess :D

now I've got my EVO3D S-off. End of the story :eek:
[Android General] Marshy919:
Headache to read. Too much text. Seems like you just copied it all from the play store. No or minimal person opinion. Worth mentioning that some launchers are no longer under development.
[Android General] digitalfiend:
Nice post rasenkiba! I found his thread as I was exploring for new launchers to play with in CM9 nightly build 8/26/2012. You've done a great job at pulling together some of the more popular launchers - I especially like knowing which launcher is your preferred.

I'd like to add to this list the Trebuchet launcher which is the default launcher on the 8/26/2012 nightly build of CM9 for the Galaxy S3. I'm still breaking it in, but it seems fast and has some neat effects - I'm hooked on "Cube Out" for the app drawer and home screen transitions.

I previously used Zeam on my HTC G2 and it had two features that I miss dearly: Swipe Up and Swipe Down. I had them mapped to open the app drawer and open the notification bar, respectively - this allowed me to remove the app drawer button to be used by something else. I liked the minimalistic features of Zeam. After using Trebuchet I'm looking for a launcher that combines some of the Zeam features with some of the eye candy of Trebuchet.
[Android General] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
very nice list, I also liked seeing which you preferred.

I usually go through a phase where I'll download every single app I can find for a specific function (photo editing, launchers, etc) and test them all out and delete the worst until I'm left with one.

I have a droid incredible, and was on CM7 for a while and fell in love with ADW. I'm big on screen transitions and gestures (man, do I miss lock screen gestures).

Now, I'm on Albinomans JB rom (which kicks so much ace) and have only tried Holo and Nova. Nova is the one I've stuck with as of now, and buying the Prime version was even more similar to the options of ADW.

Anyway, great compilation of launchers and I hope the info I posted helps some others as well.

shelling out the money for nova prime

Not sure if you only wanted to include free launchers but Nova launcher is nice but if you spend the extra few bucks on the Prime edition, it is by far and away the best launcher I have ever used.

[Android General] akaSM:
After testing ICS on my Xperia Pro, and using Nova Launcher Prime, I went back to GB because of some things that were worse in ICS, mainly RAM usage, games and wi-fi hotspot. I've been looking for a launcher that has 2 options that made me buy the prime version of Nova; using the home key to get into the app drawer (and then returning to the desktop) and folders in the app drawer. Is there a launcher that has those 2 functions BUT isn't Go Launcher EX?

Go Launcher EX isn't bad but, 6 icons per folder in the app drawer in landscape mode isn't enough (it had 10 in v2.85!)

I just loved using Nova, too bad it's ICS+ only :(
[Android General] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
I'm not sure about the folders in the app drawer, but I'm pretty sure I remember ADW EX doing home button binding.
[Android General] zealred:
i like adw laucher
[Android General] akaSM:
Hmm, ADW EX needs money, which I got but, Google hates my debit card or something. I got Nova because they also sell it outside of the Market ^_^ (and TiBu and the Sixaxis thing)

But yeah, my vote goes for Nova Prime in ICS, and the not-free category.

And Go Launcher for GB and older devices (and free!), I'll stick to 2.58 because of the folders' uselessness in landscape. Which used to have 10 icons instead of the actual version's 6...

Oh, Holo Launcher (the paid one) is nice too but, it has no drawer folders AND isn't available outide of the market.
