@ Ozadroid - It happens to everyone, bloggers just grab stuff, re-post it and hope for ad revenue. I've also had another dev grab some of my compatibility zips and re-release them as his own with no credit, except he didn't change the tag in the updater-script so one of his users figured it out. Another dev friend of mine just had his entire BETA ROM released on another site without his consent by one of the BETA testers.

@ anandisrocking007 - I believe the update-binary is a parser for the updater-script. It's not always the same for all devices or firmwares. It's pretty easy dealing with Amlogic tablets. If you want to flash in stock recovery then grab the whole META-INF folder from a stock .zip package and just change the file directories and updater-script to do what you want but leave everything else. If you want to flash in TWRP then grab the META-INF folder from a TWRP .zip and do the same. To mount the partitions, don't bother with all the other stuff people said, just look in one of those existing updater-scripts that you know work and grab the mount and unmount commands from there and paste it into your new updater-script. If you have trouble flashing and want someone to look over your update-script or package for you, just let me know.

@ nitingoel2 - If chrome asked you to download adobe flash and you said okay then you probably downloaded adobe flash and updated it to a version that doesn't work on our tablets. You can either pull the old one that does work out of the firmware package and install it or re-flash the whole firmware package. Flash is no longer supported in Android so it only works with this older flash package and only in some browsers and apps. As for Yahoo Chat, if I'm reading it correctly you are saying that the video from the Camera is poor quality? That is because the camera is poor quality. Also, your partitions are correct, you can move apps out of the smaller internal partition and onto the swapped sd partition using an app like ROM Toolbox or Titanium Backup. You can bind directories using Directory Binder, I think it's listed in my Custom ROM's original posts somewhere, then you can make it so apps always install to your SD card. There might be an option for something like that in ROM Toolbox too.

@ handy5876 - What exactly do you want to know about the partition structure?

@ abilah - Crystal Clear? Why would you flash a ROM on your tablet that isn't made for your tablet even after all the warning against it? I'm surprised it isn't bricked like the few other people who tried to do that. If you can still get into TWRP then flash the Karbonn Custom ROM and the karbonn_st10_factoryreset.zip and keep your fingers crossed.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
@fuser-invent So i can extract the update-binary from your TWRP.zip and use it for all my flashable zips that i make

Can you please past the mount commands for the following partitions-data

-system

-boot

-recovery

O yes and one really important thing is i know that clockworkmod is more famous so people advertise zip creator softwares by telling that it makes a clockworkmod zip but i have seen that apart from the nandroid backup zips the update zip of the clockworkmod is the same as that of the TWRP.zip so can i make zip using these softwares and will the binary work on that zip

EG:-

[Tool][TLC]UpdatezipCreator

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248486

The link of the download has died but i manage to contact the developer of that software to send me that software i am sending that attachment in this post also

:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Use the META-INF folder from fuser's rom i mean the whole folder. The updater script of a recovery wont work for installing rom bcoz dere is nothing about it.. it just do a raw flash of an *.img on the specified partition nothing else.

And use "dsixda's kitchen" to make zips.

Or u can simply use winrar or winzip.

And sometimes it happens that cwm n twrp doesnt flash a zip. But thats just rarely. Else u can flash any zip from any recovery.

Hmmm i have left worrying abt thieves :cool:
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
You missunderstood i was not thinking of making my custom rom that is beyond my capability i am still a newbe in android but learning quickly i just want to know that the update zip created by that software is compatible to twrp thats all since the structure of both the recovery's update.zip are the same (Not the Nandroid) such that i can create updatezip of apps fronts boot animations etc to install it faster or to combine multiple zip into one zip

Also then can i use the update-binary in the TWRP updatezip for creating my own zips????

Also one more very important thing i dont know how to extract boot.img to get the recovery.fstaband i would be very gratefull if you would show me how to do it or atleast point me to a tread where the procedure is given

:confused:
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Idk abt that software. If it makes zips compatible with any recovery then it should work with twrp aswell.

And u can use the twrp binary but you must know what arguments it uses. So it it is wiser to use the binary n updater script from a rom which has pre written arguments for commands.

And follow the below link. Read n explore it and you will understand easily how to decompile boot.img

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5626292
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ anandisrocking007 - ozadroid is right, it's safer to do it manually and all of the commands you need are in the update-scripts for my ROM's. Just delete everything you don't need, make the script, send me the link and I'll look over it to make sure it's good to go. Just make sure you are using a program like Notepad++ to do the editing.

@ ozadroid - Did the Kitchen actually work for you to decompile the boot.img for the Karbonn? It didn't work for the Ainol tablets I work with but maybe the Karbonn has a different magic header. CXZ has put together a bunch of excellent tools that work with the Karbonn and other Amlogic tablets in the comments of this thread. I used his tools to decompile the TWRP recoveries and make them usable from the SD card instead of being flashed.
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Yep it did work for all the boot.img i hv used till now. I am using modified kernel in my karbonn bcz the stock dint had adb enabled, and i needed it to get log for cm10.

Will look in that thread if i find something useful. ;)

Partition Info

@ozadroid

I used 7zip and hxd editor to manually unpack the recovery.img from your twrp to get the kernel and ramdisk.

I am checking out the contents now. recovery.fstab is not giving much info.
[Android General] Ozadroid:
What info do you need? And what exactly are you trying to achieve?
[Android General] handy5876:
Hello

I am trying to programatically parse /proc/partitions and link it up to /proc/mounts. The idea is to show list of partitions with corresponding mount points if available.

Problem - The links are not obvious for /data, /system and sdcard0.
[Android General] droidiser:
Hi ozadroid,

Buddy, I know what it takes to work for any device and share your work with the world. I have released mods and themes and rooting methods for various devices and respect work done by others. As I replied to your comment on my G+ post, I had already mentioned that you are the one who developed that ROM. I just shared it with an easier step by step guide because I know how important a custom recovery is for an android device. I didn't mean to take credit for anyone else's work. Neither I mirrored your files nor I claimed that it was me or someone else other than you who made this recovery. I can't think of any other way to give credit to someone's work with due respect.
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Hey,

I know you wanted to share the knowledge, i dont mind that. The thing is you have shared the direct download link to the files. So people would just clk on that without visiting the original source. So i just want you to share the link to my twrp thread instead of the files.

This is exactly in the recovery.fstab file. It shows mount points, patritions and devices very clearly.

Battery is not charging beyond 86% in custom ROM 1.4 for ST 8. Anyone having same issue. Any help?

Edit: problem solved.
[Android General] vpandey:
No problem here
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ anandisrocking007 - I've honestly done too much work and changes to be more detailed than what you have. You can check the Crystal Clear change log for more details since your ROM is a port of that ROM though. As long as you credit me though, you can feel free to use my custom ROM as a base for your ROM if you choose to release it.

@ masood939 - Glad you figured it out, if you have to time to share your solution then others might benefit.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
I heard that in custom ROM st10 it is having WiFi problems can you tell me what type of problems

@fuser-invent I have installed ROM Toolbox which has the android terminal integrated in it so if can I uninstall my android terminal apps and will the app requiring terminal work????

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

First of all to install custom ROM you have to flash Twrp recovery which has the the ability to make a backup of your entire phone's ROM thus after flashing the custom ROM if you want to revert back to your stock ROM just flash your nandroid backup you made and you are back to stock to get twrp you can go to the first page a and follow the link to twrp recovery hope this works if so give thanks:good:
[Android General] vpandey:
Hi guys,

I have been using custom rom 1.4. One thing i want to know that there any way to calibrate proximity sensors of ST8? Also i noticed that its touch seems very un-responsive towards edges of the tablet.

Oops

Edit....it does not have one

Also has anyone got screen protector ?
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ anandisrocking007 - Search the thread for wifi issues. I've tried to install both audio tools on my Crystal and got boot loops with each. Both by a flashable zip and injecting it into the ROM. As for the Android Terminal, it's just an app so any Terminal should work, including the one in ROM Toolbox.

@ navinash.avi - You're questions have already been answered several times. Search/read this thread.

Just in case people don't know how to search the thread before asking a question. There is a search field right next to the page numbers that says "search this thread." Use that one and it will only search for your keywords in this Karbonn thread.
[Android General] handy5876:
That's right. Edge response is bad. I don't think any software can correct it.

I ditched the screen protector the second day. Using bare glass. Got a soft pouch from eBay.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Does a nandroid backup repair the boot loop caused by these audio tools as honestly I want to try it myself

Also how to give init.d support to my stock ROM do you have a flashable zip for that if so can you give me a link I would be very gratefull if you would give me

And also how do i make my ROM Deodexed do i need to flash something for it ....... as i want to change the battery,network icon and also the three navigation icon or is there a way to do that without deodexing it as i have heard that deodexed ROM Slows the device down ....... :)
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Nandroid backup is like 'system restore' in windows. It will restore to the same situation u were in when u backed it up.

And for rest of the things i have told you many a times to use 'dsixda kitchen'.. but you wont listen.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
I live in a collage hostel and my friend does not allow me to install anything in his computer that why I have some problem with using the kitchen sorry to dissapoint:(
[Android General] fuser-invent:
The Kitchen isn't an app that you install, it is a package of stand-alone/portable files and scripts that you use. If you can't use them on your friends computer then you won't be able to use any other similar package because they all work the same way.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
To use the kitchen you have to use virtualbox or Cygwin

but is there anyway to deodex,zipalign and give init.d support to my device without without using computer

[Android General] Ozadroid:
Lol there is one way.. you can ask anyone here to do it for you :D:p

I just can't understand the device2 column of /sdcard and /media and what is partition is /media

Also it seems that the notepad of windows xp displays the word of the file in a single line while the text editor of android displays it in the above table type is it because of the different Unicode or so.....:confused:

Does deodexing a device means to only cleaning its dalvik cache....? And so after the initial boot the device gets odexes again??

help...

please give the video tutorial , then it could be easy to install the custom rom

if any give the link
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ anandisrocking007 - I don't know why they have two different labels but when I'm working with them, say with ADB parted, I use the second label, ex. avnftli1 instead of avnftl8p1. The media partition is your internal SD card. Use the following for more details, including size and block numbers:

To list your partitions:

adb shell cat /proc/partitions

To get basic info on a partition:

adb shell parted /dev/block/avnftli1 print

To get more info on a partition:

adb shell fdisk -l /dev/block/avnftli

For an explanation of deodexing, google "deodex vs. odex" or "difference between deodex and odex" and read. You aren't the first person to ask that question.

Your kernel should support init.d already, just add an init.d folder to the etc folder. If it doesn't work create a script in the system/etc folder with:

#!/system/bin/sh

# enabling init.d support
/system/bin/sysinit

Make sure you sysinit in the system/bin/sysinit folder, if not then just poll it from one of my ROM packages and of course set the right permissions for everything.

I have checked the article deodex vs odex but and got a fair understanding of what they are I have gone through a lot of forums and articles but everywhere it is given that to deodex you need to romdump and then deodex it with a kitchen and then flash it to the device is there any way to deodex with the tablet or with adb..........Well I have found one way which can be done with titanium backup I shall post the link here can you check if the method is valid.....:confused:

http://androidforums.com/a75-all-things-root/676252-tutorial-how-deodex-rom.html

And by the way how can you check if the device is deodexed or not
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ anandisrocking007 - I have no idea about deodexing without the Kitchen. That's what I use. If you go to /system/app and there are a bunch of .odex files then you are not deodexed. If all the system apps are .apk files without .odex files then you are deodexed.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Let me get this straight so to deodex I need to first make a romdump then deodex with kitchen and then make it into an update.zip and then flash it????

Touch is becoming non-responsive day by day specially towards edges and with browsers (chrome, dolfin, stock). I wish [MENTION=4959164]fuser-invent[/MENTION] if you could do something to improve touch sensitiveness in your next release for ST8.

I have Karbonn A9+ as well and i tell you.... due non-responsive touch buttons (home, menu etc) i gave that to service center and they did some software update now its buttons started working with awesome feel in screen touch sensitivity i feel i have a 20k phone. But unfortunately they dont tell us what they did.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ anandisrocking007 - That is correct. That is how my ROM's were made. If you don't understand the basics though, I really recommend that you not attempt to learn how to develop on a tablet that doesn't have an official firmware release or unbricking method. You'll most likely make mistakes and at least soft brick your tablet while you are trying to learn how to do these things.

@ vpandey - Touch response is about as good as it is going to get with the tweaks I added, unless Karbonn releases an official firmware update package with improved touchscreen drivers.
[Android General] ACE RNS111:
i guess only the karbonn company can do any improvement in this direction , but is it hardware or software issue?? i guess its software coz of unusual phone UI in such tab, even the smoothness is affected. cause i noticed u need to swipe more area of screen to get to next slide ,it means the % of swipe is kept same in phone as well as tab and hence small swipes on phone works but on tab on menu or home screens are not registered. karbonn should release a new update.
