AW: [FAQ] HELP THREAD - Noob Friendly

My problem is solved (I think by a dsixda kitchen update).

But I allready have the next question:

How do I get multi CSC on my rom? Can I just copy it from a different rom based on the same firmware?

If yes, do I just have to copy the CSC folder in /system or also something else?
[XDA-University] ttibbetts83:
That should work I would think any ways
[XDA-University] mani1999:
AW: [FAQ] HELP THREAD - Noob Friendly

So I'll just replace the CSC file in system, the SW_Confiruratuon.xml in system and the CSCVersion.txt in system with the one from a other rom....

....that should work (please correct me if I am wrong).

Hi,

There are three mods which i'd like to have in my rom but they all change android.policy.jar (and two of them change services.jar).

So, here is my question:

How do I change those two files so that I can enjoy all three mods? I tried just decompiled

android.policy.jar (and services.jar) and added the .smail files which were missing, but that didn't

work....

Hi, I'm going to make my first Custom ROM and all this is new to me.. so please answer my questions...

I want my ROM to be able to boost my phone's Performance without causing much impact on the battery... so far I have found out about Seeder 2.0, CrossBreeder, Supremacy Trilogy (Script), V6 Supercharger and Adrenaline Engine....

So I was wondering if I use all of them together, would that be good or would that make my phone unstable or possibly Brick it..?

If I can't use all of them which one do you think is the best?

Since this is my first time

I do not want to mess up or brick my phone

by flashing my "experimental ROM" so how can I "virtually" run it on my computer (Windows).. like what VMWARE does... I mean it would be better to see whether it properly boots, etc..

Also it will be a very tedious thing for me to keep on flashing my ROM via CWM everytime I edit something in it...

(one more thing).. Suppose I made my ROM and I'm going to test it for the first time... now once I flash it from CWM Recovery, won't the installation process remove CWM as well?.. and if the phone doesn't boot.. so how will I be able to go back to CWM and flash stock firmware..?
[XDA-University] ttibbetts83:
Don't know what all will do together but cross breeder works great as for v6 supercharger if your making jb ROM it is not even needed and seeder from what I read well cause high CPU if used with crossbreeder so out of those I would go with crossbbreeder

hi guys, i've learning on xda-university.com and saw this forum. I have some viewpoints i would like to present-

The concept of the xda university is quite good, but i think it's not reaching all of us. We could "literally" make this a university with newer members enter as students and go out as developers. :)

I guess the info thread about xda-universtiy could be made a sticky in all the forums! This way more people would come to know about xda-university. And this thread could be become a large discussion center where members of different forums, for newer members and also for xda-university.com! I know there are general, Q&A thread but we could use the idea of "university" to make it better!:good:

I could also become a searching ground for n00bs who think search bar is too mainstream!:p

EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2210216 I've posted some information in this thread

Alright. I have a Motorola Defy+ (MB526) - details in my signature.

Now we have an apk (that isn't updated anymore) called 2ndInit, which installs a bootmenu and custom recovery (CWM) specific for the Defy model. Everything works fine and I'm able to flash any custom ROM I desire. Unfortunately each time I flash a ROM (so far it has been JellyBean ROMs) it 'upgrades' my bootmenu to a touch-screen bootmenu and it 'upgrades' my CWM as well. This 'upgraded' CWM constantly gives me an error whenever I try to mount my sdcard or am trying to flash a .zip from my sdcard which means I can't update ROMs/Gapps/Kernels once I've finished flashing them because all this stuff gets 'upgraded' . There are currently only two ways that I can handle this:

1) I flash a full sbf, re-root my device, install 2ndInit, flash Custom ROM(+Gapps+Kernel)

OR

2) I reinstall 2ndInit on my phone.

Now the 2nd option is easier, however it does put my phone into bootloop. But I can access my Custom Recovery and can flash stuff off my sdcard because it has 'downgraded' the version of CWM and bootmenu.

My question is firstly, is there a way for me to fix my current problem where I can't mount my sdcard in recovery? And secondly, is there a way for me to create a .zip file that I can flash along with my Custom ROM to 'downgrade' my CWM and bootmenu and would that still cause bootloop?

Unpackboot image works like a charm..

Accidentally I think I flashed a ramdisk now.. :p
[XDA-University] trevd:
I suppose so, the .P file AFAIK are binary diffs so which makes them dependent on having the correct the previous version on your device, I then think the .P is sent through sha1 which gives you the long number you'll see in the apply_patch calls if you're looking at update-scripts.

I'll caveat that by saying that's how I understand it at the minute from looking at the ota creation scripts in the AOSP sources although I've not tried it out yet so I may not be 100% accurate.

the apply_patch function and all functions which are called in the update-script are not part of the recovery program ( cwm, twrp etc ) they are actually implemented in the updater-binary which is packaged with the update.zip

I'd recommended reading the full thread of which my previous link is a part of. It has lots of good information on how the update process works.

The Search Function is very much your friend here as some highly detailed Android general information is often lurking buried deep in device specific forums that you'd probably never consider looking at if you don't own the device!!

It's like a little treasure hunt :D LOL

For reference here's a link to the AOSP Python Script [ ota_from_target_files ] which does the magic when it comes to patch creation

As I understand it, there is already a stock img that will be flashed into the device when I unlock the bootloader, but does not include the correct "stuff" for the "radios" (carrier specific). So I also need to find the correct files/apks (or whatever they are called) to include in order for my phone to make calls, send/rec data, send/rec text messages, etc. Do I have the correct understanding?

Hi, Guys.

I am a newbie to ROM development. Been doing it for the past couple of months. I am compiling Oreo-based ROMs for Oxygen (Xiaomi Mi Max 2). The Oreo sources are not out yet for it.

The issue we have been facing is the "in-call" vol. We are not able to increase or decrease the vol during a call be it from the phones hardware keys or from a headphones hardware keys. For the rest of the media, it works quite good.

I have searched google, git and asked a lot of developers to check and help however it turns out either they are too busy to answer or not interested in helping a noob.

I might not understand a lot about how android works, however, it's a not just for me that I request help. It's for each and every Oxygen user out there using custom ROM that I want to be helped.

I am attaching a call log along with links to the trees I am using, hoping someone out on XDA might be able to help us out.
