[General Questions and Answers] Philmstar:
Got this unlocked AT&T Crossover off eBay. Upgraded to Gingerbread via Pantech and rooted it using details on here (Really appreciated)

Unfortunately have deleted a system ap and like an idiot had NOT backed up my stock :( . The phone still works and I can still talk/transfer to phone via adb/usb cable, but need a stock .img to repair/restore phone to original state as keep getting " files missing" etc... can anyone please help?

Considering buying another, repeating above (Less deletion!!!) making a backup image and copying it across to current phone for a restore, would that work?

Any advice really appreciated. Yes, I know I don't deserve any.....

you can follow my TUT on my signature.

and since SGMII(S6500/D) doesnt(at the mean time) have official JB ROM its working on a STOCK gingerbread ROM.

while the CM10 ROM which is JB 4.1 Based ROM by TheWhisp is pre-rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sktrooper:
tekken thanks, i tried to follow the steps but i couldnt find my country (turkey) at samfirmware. and one replied ur tut saying screenshots are different than mentioned. is it a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
you could flash any country. just take note that if you have S6500 flash S6500 firmware.

and about the screenshots are different. ive already fix it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sktrooper:
thanks! one more question, should i unlock my phone before rooting? actually i dont what it is but i ve read it somewhere=)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
of you are talking about bootloader unlock then it is not locked

if you are talking about sim unlock then you may want to unlock it but it is not required

[Sprint LG Optimus G] avpmusic:
hey guys i'm having an issue going into recovery mode, via fast booth after i unlock the boot loader.

i made a youtube video of what happens from start to finish. basicley, after i unlock the boot loader i can no longer get into my android os, or fast boot, or recovery. my phone is 'soft bricked' and the only way to come back from this is to go into download mode and reflash z7 image.

ive tried using rom manager to get into recovery after unlocking the boot loader but it still does the same thing after restart, a quick flash of the LG logo and a black screen that doesnt seem to every go away.

if you have 8-10 minutes can you please watch my video, i go thru step by step what i do to downgrade to z7 to unlocking boot loader.

I just unlocked my phone this morning with no problem. I think your problem is your unlocking with your computer and then running the unlock app on your phone. Try unlocking with just the app.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] avpmusic:
i tried using freegee after rooting and i get stuck wiith the same outcome..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] avpmusic:
so you rooted, then ran freegee?

which recovery are you using?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jao36:
That's all I did. I've been rooted for a while, yesterday I got the freegee app from the play store ran it and picked twrp for my recovery.

My phone is now unlocked running stock rooted v9. Have you went to irc for help?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] lensutton:
Did you do OTA v9? There are rooting problems with that. The devs have suggested you root stock v8 and then flash the v9 rooted image from the forums.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jao36:
Yeah sorry I should of specificed that I flashed the deodexed stock rom from the forums.

Announcement

: OpenPDroid build patches, as well as the entire history of the PDroid framework, have been rebuilt and restructured and pushed to our github page. There are build patches for all Android versions from 2.3 to current. You can also take a look at the commit history of the original PDroid framework by svyat, from initial commit to the point where he halted development, 1.32 for gingerbread.

Build patches are here.

PDroid project history is here.

OpenPdroid for Android 4.2.1/4.2.2

These are the current build patches for Android 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 and should generally reflect the current state of the jb-mr1-release-openpdroid branch. The latest commist are not always reflected in the build patches, bleeding-edge development is in the -devel branches.

We realize that the patch/branch situation is not perfect, it is work in progress.

These build patches should work for most roms. As of their creation (1/17/13) they applied cleanly to AOKP, AOSP, Cyanogenmod, ParanoidAndroid and others.

The current best advice as to how to apply/remove them is below. Some easier application methods are being discussed.

To Apply

cd ~/android/system/build; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p1 < ~/openpdroid_4.2.1_build.patch
cd ~/android/system/libcore; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p1 < openpdroid_4.2.1_libcore.patch
cd ~/android/system/packages/apps/Mms; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p1 < openpdroid_4.2.1_Mms.patch
cd ~/android/system/frameworks/base; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p1 < openpdroid_4.2.1_frameworks_base.patch
cd ~/android/system/frameworks/opt/telephony; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p1 < ~/openpdroid_4.2.1_frameworks_opt_telephony.patch
cd ~/android/system; . build/envsetup.sh; brunch <DEVICE_TARGET>

To Remove

cd ~/android/system
rm -rf out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates \
out/host/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/layoutlib_intermediates \
out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/telephony-common_intermediates \
out/target/common/obj/APPS/Mms_intermediates

[OR]

cd ~/android; make clobber

and to reset your source tree**

cd ~/android/system/build; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/system/libcore; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/system/frameworks/base; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/system/frameworks/opt/telephony; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/system/packages/apps/Mms; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/system; repo abandon pdroid

If OpenPDroid intrigues you, yet the thought of applying all these patches gives you pause, there is a tool that can attempt to patch the framework of an already compiled rom called The Auto-Patcher.

OpenPDroid is an open source fork of the PDroid framework, as written by Svyat and expanded by CollegeDev. We are always looking for contributors, come see us on XDA or submit a pull request.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] decimalman:
I'm glad to see there's a more open PDroid project happening. I'm not sure what I'll be able to contribute, but I'll find something to help out with.

Looks like I'm going to have to spend some quality time with the CM10.1 codebase tonight. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Decimalman:

If you look in my github (http://github.com/wsot) you will find there are forks of all the modified parts of Android, and these include forks from cm-10.1 (branches called cm-10.1-openpdroid). You can pull directly from these repositories into your existing repositories if you would prefer to do that, rather than apply patches to the source.

For cm-10.1, the repositories you'll care about are:

* platform_frameworks_base

* platform_libcore

* platform_build

* platform_packages_apps_mms

* platform_opt_telephony_common

Each of these has a branch for cm-10.1-openpdroid with the changes included.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] M66B:
This is great work guys, thanks!

I will test it and if everything works, I will release the next extended CM10/FXP ROM with it.

Is there already a solution for including PDroid Manager and still being able to get updates from the market?

I have one question, did you fix this bug too?

Is there any plan to cooperate with CollegeDev?

It would be a pity if development for PDroid would be fragmented.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Excellent!

If you include PDroid Manager as-is from the PDroid Manager thread, then it has the same signature as the one in the market. Because of that, it should be able to update from the market.

No, thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the source and pushed it to Github with that change. It'll be in the next release, which I don't imagine will be all that far away.

We have not discussed with CollegeDev any kind of collaboration at this stage. Because both OpenPDroid and PDroid 2.0 core are GPL licensed, I imagine there will be code migration in both directions as things are fixed and improved.

The main reason that OpenPDroid has appeared (rather than us just making a 4.2.1 port of PDroid 2.0) is because long periods of development of PDroid 2.0 went on without the code being available, and so there was really no scope to collaborate.

The reason we are planning to produce an OpenPDroid API document is essentially so that there is a clear (and shared) idea of what can be expected from a minimal PDroid implementation, which both PDroid 2.0 and OpenPDroid cover at this stage. That way even if additional features are added (or someone creates a whole new PDroid implementation from scratch) there can be a shared interface to allow interoperability of management apps (like PDroid Manager).

I think there will be some 'fragmentation', but our hope is that there can be a common API between the versions that users will not have to suffer as a result, and can continue to use their preferred management app, and so forth.

Whether than will happen, I can't say yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TamCore:
Thank you! That's what I've been waiting for. I'll integrate this in OpenSensation2 asap :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] M66B:
Good! Could you make a 'latest' URL available somewhere (github?), so I can integrate it in my build process?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Just added https://github.com/wsot/pdroid_manager_build - the sole purpose of which is now to have the latest PDroid Manager binary.

You will be able to get the file from: https://github.com/wsot/pdroid_manager_build/blob/master/PDroid_Manager_latest.apk?raw=true
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] M66B:
Thanks, I will integrate this tonight in my build process and I will document here how I did that, so other developers can maybe do the same.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
That would be excellent! Let us know how it goes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seety:
Thanks for improving pdroid!

Great work :good:

but the Problem I got is that I want to test it on my Nexus 4 with ParanoidAndroid...

when will it be possible ?

because i feel a little bit naked without pdroid and i don´t like to use LBE ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Cheers. We're happy to be able to expand on the great work done by others.

If you haven't already, I suggest you try to patch with auto_patcher: I believe that quite a lot of the unofficial PA builds will actually patch even though we haven't specifically compiled for them.

While we were preparing for release, the source for ParanoidAndroid was not available, which is why there are not specific patches for it. The source has since been made available, so I expect we will have specific patches for PA integrated into auto_patcher quite soon. Exactly how soon is a bit hard to say, but we are certainly working on it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] temasek:
Hi

I tried to find PDroid Manager in Play Store but can't find it.

Did a Web install from Play Store & it says my device is not compatible with the app.

I'm on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300.

Is it really incompatible? If no where can I get the app?

Thanks.

Edit: lol Found the app in OP

Ignore me :)

Thanks for the good work, I'm test compiling to my build now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Actually, it is a really valid question. I haven't updated the PDroid Manager in Google Play to be marked as supporting 4.2.1 yet. This will be done within the next 24 hrs, and you'll then be able to update from Google Play as new releases come out.

I hope it all goes smoothly, but if not let us know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seety:
Hey thanks for the quick answer!

I tired the auto_patcher several times sadly it doesn't work...

maybe these logs are interesting for you:

Try to patch with CM Patches / With AOSP Patches

Perhabs it work if you try to patch this rom, but i am not angry if you got no time for this. ;)

thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Thanks for the details. We will be prepping patches for PA as a high priority so don't worry, you shouldn't be waiting long :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbedard:
Since you reference an old version of "PDroid," I have to ask...do you mean "original" PDroid, PDroid 2.0, or OpenPDroid? Can you provide some logcats for the freezes in question or are you just recalling something you read?

R/

wbedard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] californicated:
It should have been original pdroid. Don't have a logcat because it's a long time ago I used it with CM9
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbedard:
OpenPDroid (OPD) has quite a few changes from the original PDroid. I have not heard of any boot-time freezes or reboots with OPD so I would just encourage you to give it a try!

How does one get started to patch a ROM such as ParanoidAndroid which is of course based off AOSP?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mateorod:
Look at the third post (I know, the first post is long...lots of stuff to talk about here). I give line by line instructions. I have written a quick script for this as well, but it probably isn't quite ready.

The auto-patcher has not been updated for PA 3.0.0 yet...in a day or two.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tattedupboy:
Is there any way the auto patcher could be in the form of a flashable zip file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbedard:
Hmmm, could you please clarify the overall workflow you would like, "soup to nuts?" The reason I ask is that autopatcher does currently create flashable zip files (2, in fact) so I think I might be missing something in your question.

R/

wbedard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tattedupboy:
Really? Flashable within TWRP recovery? The zip file I found couldn't be flashed and upon further investigation I saw that it had to be extracted.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Hmmm, interesting! While I haven't used TWRP (though I am thinking about it), it works fine in CWM. You should post over in the autopatcher thread including the specifics of your ROM, how you ran autopatcher and the resulting ZIP file. It could be a bug.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scutworker:
I've been using OpenPdroid since it was released and love it especially as I could never quite get Pdroid2.0 to work.

I see that 2.0 is now being upgraded with lots of new functions that makes it look a lot better.

Will OpenPdroid have all these features one day? Will you guys ever collaborate to produce similar functions in both? Or at least produce some way to switch between them to try them out.

Cheers.

@lanchon: Did you try these steps from the faq of the PDroid2.0-Thread? Maybe pdroid isn't correctly uninstalled ?

<QUOTE>

I get force closes of your application or my settings doesn't apply, what can I do?

Please delete ALL PDroid applications (PDroid Extension, PDroid Addon, original PDroid). Then go to /data/system/ and delete:

privacy folder

privacy.db

privacy.db-journal

Now reboot and install the newest PDroid2.0! Then all will work fine!

</QUOTE>
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lanchon:
oh ive seen but then forgotten that. i dont even wanna visit the pdroid2 thread, lol. so probably it would have worked, only id have to start over now.

i wont do it though. i wont invest that time again until opd / pdoid manager have a default system.

thank you!

JDQ39 Status Report

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to pass along that OPD seems to be running great patched onto Android 4.2.2 (JDQ39). I've done most of the required builds for mateorod to include support for AOSP-derived ROMs into autopatcher. Anyone who follows CM10.1, AOKP, etc feel free to step up and create patched/unpatched builds once they merge the new code and create the associated builds. FFU5y's still "bandwidth challenged" and materod can use all the help he can get. Contact him to find out which files he needs from your builds (it's not many, around 25MB of files).

Of course, if you want to build for your own device from the AOSP tree, I can vouch that it's working great on the Nexus 7 (grouper). I'll have it on the GNex (maguro) tomorrow afternoon and will report if there are any "issues". Everything's looking like it will be fine, though.

R/

wbedard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbedard:
Hi Again,

I just wanted to post a quick follow-up to my previous post on JDQ39 (AOSP build) with OPD. I have also installed this combo on my GNex (maguro) along with the new radio and everything looks fine. I also wanted to point out that, for both my Nexus 7 and the GNex, Google seems to have made real progress in making these devices seem faster/smoother. It's actually not all that subtle and I'm glad that the the new release combined with FFU5y's improvements in OPD v1.0.1 are giving such a pleasant experience. You all have a lot to look forward to with this combination, at least for these devices.

R/

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mateorod:
Which will be available through the auto-patcher later today...I think that all Roms will be current (those that I see have gone to 4.2.2 at least) Thanks for the aosp builds, wbedard. Also, thanks for putting the word out that we need some patch creators. I have gotten several responses, and I will be getting something out to them today.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbedard:
Hmmm, sorry to hear that you are having difficulty. However, let me clarify that the OpenPDroid patches to AOSP are not mine. I just applied them to the AOSP 4.2.2 source code and built the binaries for mateorod's autopatcher project. Back to your problem though, I believe that mateorod provided the CM10.1 support himself so I will have to defer to him for his insights.

One thing that I can do is to test the latest autopatcher against my "stock" build. I don't typically do this since I'm building my own ROM but I certainly can if it will help troubleshoot any issues with autopatcher. I need to do a few more builds this afternoon so I'll make sure to include the autopatcher testing into my efforts.

Look for mateorod to chime in with his thoughts later today!

Hi there,

I read HERE about that openpdroid now supports CM based on Android 4.2.2.

I'm not really familiar - but inquisitive - with making builds on my own.

Are THESE the patches that I need to build a fresh CM 4.2.2 with openpdroid? Can I take them 1:1?

When I create a zip for a "nightly", can I just reuse that zip for a new nightly?

For example, I create a patch zip for PA ROM nightly 34, can I use this patch zip on the next nightly 35?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mateorod:
This is a bug in OpenPdroid, one of the last user-land bugs we know about (internally, there is still much to bend one to improve the program). However, I believe that CollegeDev has found a fix, and we are merging his latest update into the project now. I haven't verified this, but I am reasonably certain that there is a fix for this in the next update.

Well, sometimes you can. But eventually, it will go 'out-of-date'. There is only so long a systme.jar can be moved into a later nightly. All the system jars we patch are libraries that rely on each other to operate. When you make an update.zip, it tends to last anywhere from a week to ten days. But eventually you will get a boot loop.

Now, you could keep using the same update zip until that boot loop happens, and them use that as then occasion to make a new one. If you get a boot loop doing this, you don't need to wipe anything, just flash an update.zip made from that nightly or flash that entire ROM to undo the loop.

Is there a possibility of multiuser support in the future?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hellunn:
If that means several permissions configurations for different JB users on same device I think it would be a desirable feature.

Particularly, I would prefer the ability to create different device ids sets that can be assigned to applications, but that would be a pdroid manager feature.
