Hi and congrats for this workd and effort. I have a few confirmation questions:

1) When I apply my tweaks, will I need to re-apply them after I re-flash a newer ROM (without full wipe, just upgrade on top)?

2) Will I need to re-apply them if I flash new kernel?

3) GPS tweak. I am located in Cyprus which is in Europe but geographically it's located in the Middle East. Which is the better choice for faster GPS (Europe or maybe a specific country closer to me (i.e. Turkey)

4) I roam with my phone a lot from one AP to another and I need to connect to newer AP as I move. Please recommend a wifi rescan value that will be balanced (both in performance and battery). I only see a slider but I don't have an indication how extreme will the lowest or highest values be (Just an out of experience recommendation)

5) Finally, I have searched for a thorough guide with explanations for all options but couldn't find anything. If there is any guide which I missed, please let me know.

Thanks again and keep on with this good job.

I have a Sony Ericsson R800 Play... After tweeking some wifi settings in Pimp my Rom the wifi didn't work. First idea was to flash the rescue package. That didn't work. After that I wiped everything Data/cache...That didn't work. After that I flashed a new kernel and a new rom. That also didn't work. So now I have no idea what else to do. Got any ideas? Is there anything else?

Quick update on development state

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of updates, as some may know my computer died so I had to order new components, but I was short on money last month.

My new pc build is now completed so I should be able to get back to development tomorrow, need to reinstall everything etc... (I'll post some pics of my old wreck side to side with my new rig ;)).

Unfortunately, I just realized after formatting my former hard drive that I forgot to backup the keystore used to sign Pimp my Rom, so this means I'm not going to be able to publish anymore update to the version that's currently on the playstore, I'm going to have to add a new version (after changing the package name) to the playstore.

So to get the future updates, all users will need to uninstall their current version and install the new one (I'll add a notice in the current version's title).

Sorry about that guys, but believe me, this pisses me off too, I'm mad at me for not thinking about that :(

I guess it would make more sense if the new version I'll add to the playstore would be the first beta release, so I could add like "DISCONTINUED" to the current alpha version. This doesn't go according to my plan (which was to switch to beta only once all the features I can think of are implemented, then use beta stage for bugfixes and little details improvements), but as next update is going to include quite a few UI improvements/changes, as well as a new tweaks section and maybe a new tool, I think it might be a right time to make the move.

Let me know what you guys think, should I move on to beta ? Would it make more sense ?

The website is also being worked on, and has now moved to its own url : pimpmyrom.org

(pimpmyrom.androguide.fr now redirects to the new adress)

Finally, to keep you waiting, here are some screenshots of the new Help Center UI (behaves likes Google Now Cards) and the main menus UI changes and new visual feedback on click :

Re: ☠ [APK][Tweaks & Mods] █ PIMP MY ROM █ v3.4 {Any Device // Any Rom}[ALPHA][WIP]

I say beta as this is the only app with all these features. I believe Android Tweaker is closest to this app and it only has half the features of PMR. For your benefit, the next version should be paid. Maybe keep the old version for free, and the new one paid. I'd definitely pay for it :D

Re: ☠ [APK][Tweaks & Mods] █ PIMP MY ROM █ v3.4 {Any Device // Any Rom}[ALPHA][WIP]

Or just you can pay for it. Still a lil buggy to be a paid app
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
The app will stay free for the moment, you can rest assured. There will always be a free version, and I won't take back features when/if I make a paid version.

If I make a paid version one day, it will include some more features and some bonus like maybe cloud backup of your settings, custom-made recovery package and stuff like that.

And the free version will need to be more advanced and polished before I even consider making a paid verison, so you guys don't have to worry about that, really.

Donations are always welcome though, but not expected.

Rescue Package ZIP file

Can you or someone who downloaded the Rescue Package Zip file upload the Rescue Package zip file? I have no other device due to bricked devices. My trio won't boot.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s4shyam95:
Hey,

when i store a particular script in /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript so that a particular zip can be flashed,

How does it exactly work, on reboot the script runs ? How and when does this script run once we have edited it :)

Also does it get deleted on its own once its executed ?

Thanks :) :D

Big fan of your app :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Basically, if you restored a backup or reflashed your rom there is no way PmR is the cause of your issue.

The Rescue Package is currently not up to date, will soon be replaced with an automatic build.prop backup (and other sensitive system files that get modified by PmR) after each new update, and will automatically create a flashable package with this custom backup.

Anyway, currently, the safest way to fix bootloops without losing data is to simply reflash your current rom & gapps without wiping /data (wipe only dalvik & /cache).

This will remove all modifications made by PmR without affecting your apps & peronal data, just like the rescue package.

I'll try to answer you point by point :

When an OpenRecovery script is present in /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript, next time the device reboot to recovery it will be executed. So basically, for example, in PmR I generate the script then reboot the device to recovery (using the "reboot recovery" terminal command). A regular reboot doesn't work afaik.

So technically, everytime TWRP is started, it looks for /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript, if the file exists it will try to execute it, if it doesn't exist it will start recovery as usual. And if there are errors in the script it will stop the execution and get back to recovery (i.e it won't reboot)

I'm not 100% sure about that last point but logic would want that /cache needs to wiped (through the openrecoveryscript or not) for the script to be deleted, but again maybe TWRP deletes the recoveryscript after it's been executed properly. Anyay it's easy to find out, just make an openrecoveryscript that doesn't wipe /cache and reboot to recovery after it's been executed.

Finally, if you're interested in this auto-flashing stuff, be aware that CWM also supports a similar automation scripting method (in /cache/recovery/command) which is more limited than OpenRecoveryScript though, (for example it doesn't allow multiple flashings at a time).

If you want to know more about its syntax/use you can refer to this post I made in the Auto-Flasher app thread.

Some more UI goodness

Here's some more teasing about the next update : some nice transition animations will be implemented (see the screenshots below), with a different transition for each section (Tools, Tweaks, Apps & Mods, Main Menu etc...), so that once you get used to it you immediately know in which section you are, as PmR is an app where you can easily get lost in the menus.

Now I'd like to get your opinion about this :

Would you guys like to see a settings menu where you could select which transition animation to use for each section of the app ? Or would it be wasted time to work on this ?

These are not mockups, I was just in Expanded Desktop when I took the screenshots

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
I'm very flattered, but I'm still a noob at android development, I got so much things to learn.

Just keep your motivation, read tutorials thoroughly and get your hands dirty starting working on an app, this is the best way to learn in my opinion. When you come across something you don't know, make some research, make sure you understand what you needed to do and not just copy/paste code from a stackoverflow thread (like I used to do at the beginning ^^) and you'll get there in no time ;)

I wish you all the best in your journey into this wonderful world that's Android development ;)

Thanks a lot yeah I just saw that on G+, the AdBlock will be removed in the beta version, as for the current version I have no power to modify it as I lost its damn keystore :(

I just hope they won't notice it and remove it so users who don't visit this thread don't get confused if they don't see PmR in the market.

Also, if they remove it I might get in trouble for distributing proprietary binaries such as Beats Audio, Bravia, xLoud etc... So I hope it'll remain un-noticed^^

Thanks a lot for caring :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psychedel!k:
does that mean if i installed it from Market it won't be updated?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
The next update will be on the market but it will be a separate app, so that means you'll need to uninstall it and reinstall the new one once it's released. This is my fault but there's pretty much nothing I can do about it unless I miraculously find a copy of my keystore somewhere, but I already checked my dropbox, google drive, ubuntu one etc... to no avail :(

But either way, uninstalling the app won't affect the tweaks you installed.

Hey altogether,

I'm just curious if I can just delete the mods from the build.prop which PMR made. I'm stuck with a crashing allwinner tablet due the mods made and yes I don't have the custom recovery which would allow me to flash the rescue package. So can I?

Oh and yes, what about the second boot animation, how can i delete that?

Would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Re: ☠ [APK][Tweaks & Mods] █ PIMP MY ROM █ v3.4 {Any Device // Any Rom}[ALPHA][WIP]

Yes you can. If your recovery is TWRP you can use its file manager to copy over the modded build to microsd, remove PmR tweaks (they are labeled) , than copy back in.

Hey and wow for the fast answer!

Well I have the stock recovery so this is a no go for me. If I correctly understand this I can't just remove the lines from it? So the build,prop must be puled out of the system and lets say edited in Notepad++ and than pushed back in?

Don't be to hard with me im just a noob ;P

If your are able to boot into the system, than yes you can just open it and edit it.

ESFile Explorer is what I use because it comes with ES Note Editor built in. You can just browse to /system and open as Text, edit, save, reboot.
