I think this adds google dns (thanks for that) but do you happen to know how do remove the sprint proxies also?

Without doing the ##3282# that is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmocherman:
This is probably a stupid question and as a teacher I've always said, "There's no such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people." Anyway, if I flash a new rom or reflash a current rom will the Placebo tweaks have to be reapplied?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, they are files that will be deleted or overwritten.

Hey Phakeer I just had to drop in and tell how well jelly bean placebo is running. I had returned to my lurking ways :sly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
You still need this info?

You can do it with Apex, Nova, or AnyCut.

Apex or Nova:

Long click screen/shortcuts/activities/com.android.sprintmenu/DATA(the 4th option in sprint menu. Should say "data edit")/multimedia

Lol i dont make that mod and thats from memoty so I hope its right.

Edit; i just checked. Its mostly right, but from data/edit you then click on "others" to get to multimedia.

Idk why you want that but there it is :p

Good luck getting your phone to jump towers
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Im so sorry man. If I get some time today Ill try to figure it out.

I should have plenty of time this afternoon , works usually slow saturday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
How'd u go about doing this? System/etc didn't have an init.d folder. I just pasted folder from the tar in there and sysctl.conf into etc and set permissions but unsure if it's working.

I get no deep sleep...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
/etc should definitely have an /init.d there.

If it isnt there than you need to run "install init.d support.sh" from the sfhub auto root programs "extra tools"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Thanks, yea there wasn't in JB ASOP which I thought was awkward. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Got your msg. Can't believe you remembered this. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but that Nova/Apex way to do that DOES save. Damn near indefinitely, the only way to change it is a full restore of a ROM that doesn't have it done... IE a factoryfs.img or a backup of your own from before the proxy is removed.

Am I misreading?

As for what file it is, let me open up my phone really quick. It's stored in one of the settings.db . I'll find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Ok, I think I found it .

It's

/data/data/com.samsung.phoneinfo/databases/db_systemproperty/t_systemproperty

So the only way a restore would NOT register this change is if you didn't restore data.. (i think)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'll check it out but that's not in the rom image. Keep in mind this is a full rom install. That database gets created after the phone first boots up probably. I'll figure it out. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Doesn't that mean that it is stored in the sprint hidden menu application ? ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Not sure what that is. :o

I've installed (flashed) every changed folder from the rom.zip into the current rom and the proxy hasn't changed.

system/app

system/framework

system/lib

system/etc

system/bin

data

I have a feeling it must happen somewhere during the provisioning process when the rom first boots up. Otherwise, someone would've created a flashable method of changing those settings on the fly. That's the only thing I can think of. I have another idea I'm going to try next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Okay, well, by the time I finish writing this post I'll have good or bad news... let's see...

and you are absolutely RIGHT, good sir.

I just made what should have been a flashable proxy nullify and before flashing went and changed the values to random things... not only did the nullify not stick, but the stock values were re-applied..

That doesn't even make sense.. great. Now I'm going to spend the day figuring this out.. I HATE when I don't know how to do something.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
@ TD, these are honest questions, no matter what ot looks like this is not a flame post, or a troll post. I have (and likely will ) always appreciate all of your help and contributions to me and to everyone... That being said,

These are my curiosities:

1) Does your removal tool still delete the log files? If yes, WHY?

2 ) I noticed /etc/wifi on the list, what is deleted there? ( If "all" , then are standard files that belong there replaced?)

3 ) How is it 'more efficient' to have a different zip for every rom in existence as opposed to having one zip that works on any rom without deleting the log files that are there for exactly the events that call for removal?

4) What is the benefit of deleting the none placebo-related scripts that I had put in xbin for people to use?

Nobody loses anything by having scripts that ;

A) Give you a teminal command option to wipe dalvik cache; or

B) To drop page and inode cache; or

C) To index your databases with sqlite; or

D) To fix permissions faster than any other script does.. Period..

All with a single word..

And....

The xbin scripts were gifts, useful ones...

Placebo (while it may not be much, ) is my first creation.... My baby... That took/takes a looot of time... Especially when I have been debugging this whole time with practically only TWO people at my side actively participating...

.... And now that will be even more difficult.

As I said.. General ponderings . None of this impacts my gratitude..

But at the very effing least can you PLEASE not delete the log files.

Sorry, and thank you.

Ps, just tested it for the 30 thousandth time and it worked again....

Heres tbis version, Im writing a more effecient one today.

For anybody that wants it :

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Havent had it tested, I KNOW that it should work if it is run manually, and the flash SHOULD run it on next boot so long as you dont have airplane mode on when you boot recovery. The DB is owned by radio, so init doesnt catch it of the.cell is.off

hey phaker ever figure out what caused me to bootloop when I flashed black on cm10?

would love to apply it although I am happy with cm-x. thanks for everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I did not definitively find out but I have a good idea.

Ill flash CM10 Now and see if I can fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, let me see if we can come to an understanding. I'll follow yours so its easier for me. :)

1. Why would the user want to keep old log files? If you feel there is a need to see them later, I can remove that. I just felt it would be easier to have fresh log files for each placebo.

2. etc/wifi is not an issue any longer, already removed it I think in this last or the revision I did yesterday.

3. Umm, this one is a little difficult to answer. I did the individual ROM tweaks because it was easier to have one for each rom because of the init.d removal. Plus, as a side project I thought some users might like to try out tweaks from other roms to see how they perform for them. Every dev does things a little different. Having one set is fine but the user shouldn't have to reflash an entire rom to get back to stock tweaks for their rom. Most users aren't going to know where they all are or how to put them back.

4. What non-placebo files?

I am deleting 11 individual xbin files total with the Removal Tool that have been added by placebo scripts:

delete("/system/xbin/DropC");

delete("/system/xbin/DropD");

delete("/system/xbin/FixP");

delete("/system/xbin/Index");

delete("/system/xbin/Black");

delete("/system/xbin/Black2");

delete("/system/xbin/placebo");

delete("/system/xbin/placebo2");

delete("/system/xbin/plIndex");

delete("/system/xbin/PlPERM");

delete("/system/xbin/plSAFE");

I thought these were all yours? Are you saying that ALL of these files should be left in or left behind? Again, your call. I just don't know what should stay or what should go so I felt that it would be best to try to start fresh if possible for the next placebo. If you want some of these xbin files to stay, shouldn't you put them in every flash file you release? It would make it easier I think.

The entire purpose of the Removal Tool was to bring the users' rom back to a virgin state in as simple a manner as possible so that prior scripts do not interfere. It would be like taking a ROM, flashing a few things, taking an update, flashing back to the original rom, taking more updates... then (and I just saw this today) asking why the ROM isn't working the way it should.

Oh, and cheers to your right and left arms - MH and BC! :)

I'm busy today so have to go. I'll check that script proxy script again later too when I have time and address any other issues at that point. Thanks dude.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
How about sbrissens jb build ? Would I use the cm10?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Lmao, you would wait until I'm out of commission on CM10 to respond, you lucky bastard.

The xbin Files I meant were the ones named

pldropc (drops caches),

pldropd (wipes dalvik and reboots),

plindex (sqlite re-indexing of all databases),

and (i think it was called) EDITED*

plPERM (zeppe's frankenstein permission fix, its soo effing fast..)

All the information on what they do and how to use them was clearly posted right alongside the DL that contained them.

And I asked why they would be removed when I linked Op to the removal tool the first time.

( not the blazer revert, the one that was apparently not very visible because it was already linked when you thought that the blazer revert link needed its name changed)

I asked (twice at first) why the log files would be deleted.

Sure, delete OLD ones, but how do we know when someone flashed which build..

I even explained why I didn't want them deleted..

three times at least...

and now I have a practical example..

Placebo Black.., I was told that it was causing boot loops on CM 10.

To verify/debug I just flashed cm10, and then flashed PlaceboBlack,..

Sure enough. No boot. Not even anim.

I then flashed my removal tool.

Now I have a WORKING ROM that I didn't have to reflash....the tweaks are safely stored in mmcblk0p12,... AND A FULL LOG of what black did/was doing when it caused the ROM to not load.

So, now that I finally have this log, I will be able to debug black on CMX and have it running for anyone wants it.

A process that would've been a day faster if I hadnt spent foreverdom trying to make a revert script for the proxy null script that I thought was wanted and didn't have anybody else with access to what went wrong .

As I said. ... I appreciate the hell out of all you do here... and for Blazer,... and every where else you go.

But... I stated a of this...and why.... several times... and was right... (for once)...

@everyone else, updates coming soon. PlaceboCmX Should work on Aosp, but I haven't had time to test it.

i am right now going to test the proxy null and then see why PlBl killed boot.

After I flashed BLACKOUT, it booted fine. That tells me that it its nor my zips themselves.

I ran placebo black through Term and it applied OK, .. but freq is locked on max with any governor I try and the log is only showing a couple of errors.... it won't take long to pinpoint the issue..

Wow. That was a lot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Wow, its like watching a puppy on crack drinking a Red Bull chaser. :silly:

Ok, these you want to stay then and the log folder left alone too, everything else is fine for now?

The xbin Files I meant were the ones named

pldropc (drops caches),

pldropd (wipes dalvik and reboots), plindex (sqlite index of all databases),

and (i think it was called)

pl fixP (zeppe's frankenstein permission fix, its soo effing fast..)

(from my list)

("/system/xbin/DropC");

("/system/xbin/DropD");

("/system/xbin/FixP");

WHICH INDEX STAYS?

("/system/xbin/plIndex"); OR ("/system/xbin/Index");

Sorry if I missed the log folder request. Square up with these for me and I'll update the removal tool again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Hey, MH (as TD put it. Lol I like it)

Whats up man ?

Sorry, custodian, Idk about the AOSP build, but the CM 10 doesn't have the directory for the db the same as any TW ICS .

If you can find the database that stores it ( or when I find it ) I can rewrite the script to accommodate.

On most builds, what I'm looking for is com.samsung.phoneinfo but more specifically the db in the folder named db_systemproperty.

Find that and we are golden.

Hey, before I start flashing another rom, I want to make sure we're on the same page with the proxy thing. See screenshot. They should be all zeroed out, well two of them are 0, the other two should be 0.0.0.0.

Edit: I'm not saying yours doesn't work, just not for these particular settings. ;)

It could be the rom, let me know and I'll flash over to another and try it again if that's the case.

thanks man!

cm-x def works for me although I wouldn't know what's its doing being that I've flashed it immediately every time I've flashed cm10. :D I have faith in you and your work though phak.

not gonna lie I will definetly try the proxy removed being that I totally forgot to remove it when I got my replacement phone and was on a TW ROM.

also can't wait for you to work your magic on placebo black and get it running on cm10. I'm stoked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Sorry for the late response, I'm at work .

Honestly (whoops, got a little trigger happy)

I didn't intentially include anything that would stop PlaceboBlack from working on other TW ROMs. Truth be I'm not entirely sure which setting is preventing it from working on this CM 10 build.

My recommendation is to grab a copy of black, A copy of my removal tool, and a copy of TDunhams removal tool that's ROM specific.

In the unlikely chance that m'ICS doesn't boot (I highly doubt it would happen, I made a couple placebos on that ROM and it was very friendly..

But what occured to me is ,

My removal transfers the contents of init.d to mmcblk0p12. It may be a smart precaution to use my script inside the removal zip BEFORE flashing.

That way there is no chance of conflict.

Just a suggestion... but worst case scenario if you have the removal tools is that there is no worst case scenario ;)

Sprint Proxy

Ok, I finally got around to figuring out the script Ph. I was getting access denied on the log file. So I deleted it, run the script again and it created the log file just fine. Rebooted and it worked just fine again. So thanks for that. I always forget about running the scripts manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
The proxy script? Did I forget to include the log's directory/placeholder again? If so , I'm a dummy for not thinking that that may be the problem... cause I knew it worked,

Also, Hakcenter had suggested that the db might not like being meddled with on boot. Plus, once the setting is there you are stuck with it pretty good. So you can remove it from init.d if you have it in there.

I can't decide what to do with that...

I had it running on first flash with the boot, so if I get that working for everyone I can just write a self destructing script..

Flash, it runs on boot and then goes bye bye for good. You would still have the zip .. Nice and clean, right?

For anyone trying to flash Black on Agat's latest ROM (tFH13), with the included "stock" kernel... I tried flashing Black after flashing the ROM and was stuck on black screen and wouldn't boot. I booted into recovery (volume up/power) and flashed Kuban Kernel 0.1.3 and all was well. Black still would not run for some reason, so I re-flashed the Black zip (using the Kuban Kernel) and fixed permissions in recovery while I was there.. and all is well.... must have been a kernel thing.

I don't know what is different with Agat's latest kernel other than its "stock" with SU support (you have to download the superuser apk from market). It also has init.d support among other things.

I just thought I'd share this before someone else attempts this and becomes unsure what to do.

You're probably right. What calls the xbin files though, are they called from init.d scripts? Maybe that's what's causing the problem with that kernel. I wonder if the stock FF18 kernel would have the same issue? Guess it doesn't really matter, we're probably not going to see source for that kernel anyway.
