[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
Hi,

I used to know a way to dump a raw range of data (i.e. specifying start/end in hex address) from a block device which I used to do from data recovery days, but I can't remember what it is. I have been googling for about an hour and it's driving me nuts! Can anybody help?

FYI, I am trying to grab data from an unknown range of data on the nand layout for the Xperia Play but this is a general linux/busybox question. For details on what I'm doing check here.

Thanks so much in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've discovered that the range I'm trying to read is a protected area. Mods please close if possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapcow:
cat is more like a parser, dd is capable of dealing with raw data.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/

http://linux.die.net/man/1/dd
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
Yeah I figured it would be done with dd, though I can't find any device that represents the "entire" mtd/nand - only mtd# for existing partitions exposed by the kernel. If i could find a "root mtd" device I could use skip and count parameters of dd to read what I want.

Regardless, I don't really need help with this specifically anymore - my problem seems to be specific to the Xperia Play. I am basically trying to resize the partitions (which I did previously on the X10) and I have exposed an unknown ~100MB+ that goes between userdata and cache, but I can't read or write to it at all no matter what I do.

I think what I'm trying to get is a protected area for DRM or something which I want to shift (so I can give space from cache to userdata). I/we need to make kernel or bootloader changes for the device.

Thanks for the help anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapcow:
I have a Samsung and Samsung is the probably the only one brand that adopt a different partition system for mtd; but remember that dd just copies everything, free space included, if with dd you are copying a filesystem with a total of 100MB and only 40MB are in use, you end up having a 100MB image file with dd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
Yeah I know it's a raw by-sector mirror/dump tool. Well what I did was edit the kernel to only create one entire partition taking the complete nand storage and then tried to dd from that, it works for a long time then once it hits this special "protected" area around ~800MB offset it spams a lot of "I/O Error" messages but doesn't fill these with zero's or anything (using conv=noerror), then once it passes the protected area it successfully dumps the rest (which is where the cache partition for the zeus would go).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
OK, I have another question now. I found that this unknown 133MB has about 53MB of data in there, somewhere in the middle, which grabs fine. But the resulting file is not 133MB so I don't know the offset. Can I use dd or another tool to grab this partition while filling I/O errors with zero's? I have googled a lot and couldn't find anything.

Nevermind *facepalm* I use conv=noerror,sync. http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man1/dd.1.asp

This is a SystemUI theme apk and flashable zip for Venom ROM ViperX 1.x - it will not work on any other ROM

Download the ROM here

Theme contains new sync, GPS aquiring signal and battery charged animations:

.... ....

APM modified - now with seperate On/Off icons for the three ringer states (Silent/Vibrate/Normal) rather than the coloured indicator bar below.

For the SystemUI theme simply copy the apk to your phone and install as normal, then open Venom Tweaks, select the Statusbar tab, click on Statusbar Theme Support and select redShift.

The APM theme requires replacing framework-res.apk so it needs to be flashed through recovery (thanks to fisha for the flashable zip :) )

If you want to tweak/adjust/recolour/resize or otherwise kang my work you are more than welcome to - all I ask is you give credit where due :) I am happy to provide any of my psd's - if you need them just ask.

DOWNLOADS HERE

Alternative colours now available HERE

Enjoy :cool:
[HTC One X] Dunc001:
Taking requests...

​

I am happy to make the theme with ANY colour highlight (examples above). Just let me know what colour you would like, either as a hex code or just upload a picture of what you would like to match, and I'll recolour the theme and build you a new apk. Let me know also if you just want the Venom statusbar/EQS theme, or if you would also like the APM theme/zip as well.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Looks awesome ... Nice work mate!
[HTC One X] Sebby:
i love it

but maybe it is better to use the statusbar wifi and data and battery from White AIO by jerrytan93 theme pack

then the wifi and data dont get completely white but with stripes (if you now what i mean) and then with the red or blue strip at the end

look picture

i like all colors except the red one (sorry)

so make the rest to please...
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
I Sire hope this will be the new venom base theme looks awesome!!
[HTC One X] inzaghi75:
I must say great work. I love the red theme and the Icons are perfect. Could you make the data roaming signal and airplane mode in red?

[HTC One X] Dunc001:

Hehe, everyone's a critic lol :) Easy to make all the sets, but as for the bars it was deliberately designed without them for a cleaner look so I'm not going to make them segmented I'm afraid. And all the icons are made by me completely com scratch, want wanting to kang anyone else's work for this one :)

Thanks mate :) Lets see what Jan decides...

Airplane mode is themed already, but in white. Roaming icons aren't included in the venom theme apks so I can't add them that way, but I could make you a flashable systemui with them if you like (they wouldn't change though if you changed themes )
[HTC One X] inzaghi75:
Yes please it would be cool if you make a flashable systemui for me.

[HTC One X] hd2neuling:
:eek::eek::eek: as said in venom-theme-thread, i really like the icons in apm, but there´s something going wrong for me: I´ve got red lines and highlights instead of my beloved blue (Skin Matte) :(

Think u took the framework-res.apk from the venom-theme, and i didnt choose venom-theme @ rom-install because i hate red :silly:

so plz plz plz could u use the non-themed framework-res.apk too for the blue shift?

otherwise i´ll replace it on my own & only for me, because i will not provide anything based on others work/icons :D

LG, Helmut
[HTC One X] Dunc001:
NP Helmut - yes I used the venom red one (just pulled it from my phone and I had flashed with the theme option selected. Can you upload the stock apk and I'll remake all of the APM mods using it.
[HTC One X] hd2neuling:
You´re the best, here u r:

framework-res.apk stock ViperX v1.0.1

Just copied with root explorer and uploaded, hopefully it works :)

LG, Helmut
[HTC One X] bogfather:
To start with, great work by the way :)

Is there any chance you could make red and white WiFi and reception icons but with the red and white reversed so its all red but with a white line, and make the grey black?

It would look good with my home screen

I would try it myself but all I can do is flash and install, when it comes to making I haven't got a clue :o
[HTC One X] inzaghi75:
Is it right that the apm mobile network icon is stock and not themed?

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] Dunc001:
Lol :) I don't have that activated in my setup so had forgotten it was there! I'm re-doing the zips anyway to is the stock framework-res as a base rather than the red theme one, so I'll add that icon in for the new apks
[HTC One X] optiknerv:
Is that ICS launcher you have there or have you themed the sense menu button? looks cool. Where did you find the icon pack and what clock is that lol.

Sorry for the off topic questions but it looks cool.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hkcheater:
My problem is : I'm using a Rooted Razr (Asia Version), after i setup a password & wish to remove it, but i can't find where to clear the password, someone told me to use ADB command to rm *.key, after that the password gone but also the lock screen gone too!

I have backup some system file, so i can restore & get back the lock screen, but there is another problem.

After unlock the screen, it not show up the homepage but the page i use before off screen.

Example : before off screen, i'm using file manager, after unlock screen, it stay on file manager screen.

Is there a file control the action to go back homepage after screen off/on ? what is the name?

Please help ! :crying:

C check your sim card

D check your network settings are correct .

[HTC EVO 3D] vestaviajag:
I hate to do this in this thread, but if you're looking for a more complete Jelly Bean build, try the AOKP build. It's similar to this, but with a lot more working.

This is not a dig at OG and his skills, but he has had to put his developments on hold as his real life has become a lot more hectic and important. What I'm saying is, this probably won't be updated anytime soon, and if you're looking to play around with a Jelly Bean rom, there is another out there with Wifi and Sound working (everything but 4G, 3D and Google Now).

Again, OG is a fantastic dev, but he hasn't had much time for this, and rightfully so.

Once he gets back, this and his Paranoid stuff will take off!

I am waiting to make the move (for my GFs phone) from GB mean ROM. It is on HBOOT 1.4. Does anyone know if CM10 will require the new HBOOT? Or will it work with the old one?
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
I've not had one problem flashing this rom, and I'm on 1.4. And I am currently running Team Dirt AOKP without a hitch. So no, it doesn't require the newer hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Actually it will NOT work with the new hboot. All CM Roms bootloop if you try to boot with 1.58, afaik.

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
That's even better. But I would imagine that they will try to make it support the newer HBOOT come time of release since that is what most people are on. I just hope they would keep the options for the older HBOOTs.

After my homework, gonna fix this tonight, got some help with sound and wifi, will hopefully find a fix for Google now, hopefully this will be a midnight release :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Sora1995:
Awesome! Hoping this will work with Boot Manager (Mazda's unofficial AOKP JB worked fine, though same issues as usual - no charging or data) so I can test it out. Once camera is fixed, this, or Mazda's ROM, will be my daily!
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Are the Google apps crashing or not using the right drawables? I only ask because we discussed this issue elsewhere and...

[quote name='Link_of_Hyrule' timestamp='1344387580' post='878573']

That's what I thought but we did tests and the rom loads what ever level 16 materials it finds for what ever reason. It works fine on stock ics or on other roms.

EDIT: Found more information on the subject. I tried editing my build props for the code name and that messed stuff up had to wipe and reinstall lol. I backed up system but not data and screwed my self. Anyways here is the issue.

EDIT: Well this is the fix https://github.com/aospX/platform_build/commit/a34ffcecc7c237ac9c9e263984f6a74d3a7c3831[/quote]

The alternative is to either hack the build to reset it back to 15 (if not using source) or hack all the Google apps to accept the 16 (not recommended for obvious reasons)

So Im gonna pretty much have to sell ass to get an Asurion replacement lol, not going anywhere though...

I said ALL OF THAT to say here is a test build of CM10, and I couldnt test the sound or wifi due to no phone obviously. So this may or may not work. Im sure it will boot because I only made small changes, BUT, should it not boot, logcat... no sound, logcat... no wifi, logcat... your kitty is stuck in a tree, logcat :P, real talk though. logcat no matter what. Logcat while trying to turn the volume up and down, while turning wifi on and off, and then put it in PASTEBIN (Dont attach some .txt file). Give me the link and vuala... I can see what to do about a fix. Need I stress the importance of Logcat once more? No? Okay then, have at it. :)

Also, here is a link to a new ROM i decided to do earlier. It's called Flyme (Fly Me) OS, and it comes with the well known chinese Meizu MX Phone. It puts you in the mindset of MIUI, but it IS NOT! much better than it believe it or not, but after watching this video, I had to port it, I have scoured XDA looking for an already ported one, but NO ONE has ported this, the only ROM for this is for the MX itself, and it isnt deodexed and stuff like mine. It doesnt boot into system though, and I need a logcat for obvious reasons. Again, paste this into Pastebin and link it to me like you did CM10 :)
