[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
My Ext ROM is not write protected, and I'm able to run applications in the EXT ROM Folder. I deleted the 2 TMD and the T-Mobile cab files, but I have not nticed a big difference, nor is my GPRS back to always on, which it should be now.

Perhaps the device requires another hard reset without these cab files in place prior to the changes taking actual effect. Does anyone know if my assumption is accurate about the required hard reset?

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] nargalzius:
what dictates if the ExtROM is write protected or not? is it the version? or the hardware itself? or a mix of the version with the OS checks?

cuz i believe the ROM version is dictated by the version_AKU1.sa.cab. does that mean we can hack the cab (or use a diff version) to disable the write protection?

i'm using a himalaya btw.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] FastLaneJB:
I have a question or two.

I'd also like to know if it is possible to modify CAB files so they install an application and then also put in your purchased key or serial depending on the application so it's already registered to yourself. It seems like it must be possible because the GPRS Monitor on the T-Mobile Extended ROM is already Registered when you try and register it yet I was under the impression it normally has to have a key entered to turn it into the full version with no limits.

This would be great if this was possible, if it's a key file then it's simple to copy it over but how about automatic registry entries? Are these done similar to Windows .reg files? Does anyone have any info if a .reg file can be make and run from the Extended ROM to make changes to the registry? This would also allow me to key in a few other things I'd like presetup.

Is there a way to see what registry changes a CAB file makes other than from purchasing MagicCAB? Is there a free program like this? It seems like a reasonable program from the info but I don't want to spend 10 dollars on a program I might only use once or twice.

Acutally, one more while I'm here. Does anyone have a CAB installation version of CabInstl which puts a shortcut in the Programs or an easy way for me to make that? I've set it up so it will copy the EXE in manually along with a shortcut but I've yet to try it. I think it should work OK I imagine, just might be neater and have an uninstall if it's in a CAB format?

Can you delete files from the extended ROM script? Just so I can clear out a few folders of things I don't want in there when I do a hard reset?

Thanks for all your help. I'm looking forward to making a super kick ass Extended ROM for myself, I'm half way there :)

Updating the indirect way

Had a few problems with the updating process... and thought i would explain how I got around them! :D

First I updated to the standard 16007DE ROM

Then I installed the Extended Rom Viewer, and then because it is protected, i copied the contents to my HDD.

Then i tried to open the Rom update from T-mobile with the Extended ROM editor, but kept on getting file access errors :( The only one i could open was the NL 13006 version. So I changed the splash screen, deleted the origianl contents, and then inserted the contents from my updated original Extended ROM, as well as a few other bits that i could find, IE the extended ROM viewer. It is updating at the moment, So I hope it all works.

I have a few questions though!

Does anyone know a way in which I can automatically install a few themes, and a few ringtones? I have a few MIDI files that i want to be installed into the windows\rings folder, and the themes need to go in a folder called themes in My Documents. I also wanted to ask if there is a way to extract the CAB from another program, for instance Voice Commander. It is an MSI, but only works in windows!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Is this going to work:

- Download ER2003Edit

- Download the O2 XDA2 ROM 1.60.50

- Download the T-Mobile MDA2 ROM 1.60.36

- Remove O2 apps i don't want to use

- Add applications from T-mobile rom which i want to use

- Change ROM provider from O2 rom to to T-Mobile

- Save new O2 ROM and upgrade

But... I want to add custom ring tones to contacts, and if possible also want to add custom picture. Also my camera must be able to work. Which software do i need for this?

Because.. All i want to upgrade is today theme to O2's and also the software to 1.60.50... Does the O2 rom also has an "TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB" ?

2 questions for you,

1. how do i know whether my rom is the editable 1 or the non editable one?

2. I tried option A, just mergly adding the CAB files into the EXTROM but... when the hard reset was perform it did not install the CAB files i added in? what could be the prob i know there is a "autorun.exe" in it but i dunno whether will it affect the process. I also notice a "config.txt" in the extrom, tried editing it but it seems that nothing happen

Reason for adding the cab files is because i was using a 1.72.00 rom with radio stack 1.12 but intend to change it to radio stack 1.14 and also try cooking up my own rom in the ktchen but after doin so its like nothing happen. need some advice for cooking roms in the kitchen been searching the forum... found a few but its all talking about Linux platform.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] yann:
Hi Kelvin,

1)

The way to know if your rom is not writ protected is if you see a folder called extended_rom in the root of XDAII and if you can add files in it.

If not, there’s a nice tool to make the extended_rom visible and to make it writable.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extended+rom+hide

2) The config.txt is made to lunch the programs in the extended rom when you hard reset the XDA or when it starts for the first time.

You just need to put the cab files in your extended_rom folder and edit the config.txt this way:

Exemple:

I added the cab file vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB in the folder extended_rom

and added this line in config.txt

CAB: \Extended_ROM\vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB

Cheers,

Yann
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] kelvin_27_84:
hi yann,

i tried doing that way as i figured out that config is like a startup "prg" to actually start the programs installing when hard reset is performed. But the thing is i cannot make the programs i added in the install after the hard reset is perform. I don't know why but the rest of the cab files can be done. Do adding of all this cab files into the ROM consider cooking ROM??? not really fimilar with the terms of cooking ROM unless that is the way.

I have just successfully ported this rom from Vibrant. It is based on the original Google's AOSP rom. Does anyone up for a test drive? I haven't tested it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Post it in the development section, I'm sure there will be people willing to flash and test for you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
If you need to host it just start a torrent. I will seed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
Darn it. Just tested. It just hanged at the logo screen upon reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
reboot or boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
It booted up to the logo and just hanged there. I've been trying for about 4 hours and I still get the same thing. Everything installed fine, but when I did a system reboot, it only loaded to the logo screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Grab a log of the boot and see where it's hanging.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
4.2.2 is hard to grab logs since adb debugging is turned off by default.

How are you porting this? What's your base? Is it hanging at the boot kernel splash? Are you still able to get to cwm/twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
I am using your cm-10.1 as base. I am porting using Porting 1.2.5 script. It passed the kernel splash screen but hanged at the rom splash screen. Yes, I am able to get in cwm. This is the rom: [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.2.2][JDQ39] SuperNexus 2.0 from Vibrant forum that I was trying to learn to port. I even did it manually, still getting hanged at the splash screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hey have you tried messing with build.prop to enable it?

# Miscellaneous MTP & ADB tweaks. May improve MTP & ADB connections
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
ro.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.mount.playsnd=0
persist.service.debuggable=1

Found them here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1biEoagtQYGFjEmOONRisDgjtq-3hFl3ekJNZpnM6z2Y/edit?pli=1

They might've changed JB enough that they won't work though... :/

EDIT:

If someone can test it? Modify the build.prop in the zip file for the rom, then try doing a factory reset, flash the rom and see if they can connect to the phone via ADB without having to mess with the settings first. If that works then we should definitely enable this on all the JB roms 'cause it's annoying as hell not being able to pull up a logcat on a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
I'll give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
You just need to add

ro.adb.secure=0

That will turn off all the adb safeguards that google worked so hard to put in place.

If you have this line

ro.adb.qemud=1

Change that to 0 as well.

Sorry beast I guess I should have told you a while ago. lol

Anyone else having issues with the WidgetLocker lockscreen on 4.2.2 ROM's? No matter which 4.2.2 ROM I flash, I have the issue on all them.

I disable stock screensaver.

Enable Widget Locker.

Set Widget Locker to "force portrait" so that even when the phone is set to Auto Rotate, Widget Locker should always be in Portrait mode. This is so my sliders are always in the same location no matter what.

But, about 1/3 of the time, when my phone wakes up, Widget Locker will be in Landscape mode and my sliders are all funky looking. A reboot will temporarily resolve this till it happens again.

Anyone else?

version 2.3.2r1 btw.

Edit, reading the thread, I've discovered the whole "beta" option. I'm going to try the latest beta to see if that helps.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
So i woke up this morning to a burning hot phone in a sleep of death. When i say hot i mean it was HOT! I removed the battery and let the device cool down for 20 minutes before booting and its been fine since. I fell asleep while listening to a YouTube documentary on my phone while it was plugged into the charger. I researched the topic and found that it has something to do while the phone falls asleep and the kernal is still active causing the phone to overheat. A solution that i found posted in another thread was to select the option under "development" in "applications" to keep the screen awake while charging. Is this a valid fix to my issue? Any other input is appreciated!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Welcome to the wonderful problems of the G2x. What kernel are you using? Stock CM7 kernel is the only one for me that doesn't have the problem. If you're using faux you need to use setcpu or a similar app to underclock your phone to 400 something MHz while charging.

Go into developer settings and make sure "keep awake while charging" is enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TwitchyEye:
I've had this issue with every kernel except Mazout's 0130. So... I just deal with the backlight lag instead
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
I'm running mazouts 0320c. I also made profile in my CPU manager App that lowers Max CPU during charging already.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TwitchyEye:
I didn't have any luck with 0205 or 0218 or 0323. Although I didn't even try the non-oc version of the last one, it's my wife's phone so I'm sorta limited on ability to test stuff. But she's pretty set on leaving it with 0130 and not touching it anymore. Still get some sod on phone calls but not the flaming hot stuff anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] capncybo:
over heating

I've been using both Mazout's 323 kernels with great success & when my phone sleeps (CPU1 is off) I get much improved battery life & haven't had the overheat problem. (this is with CM-7) BTW
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] epicsilence:
I have seen many questions about build.prop editing but very less of them have been convincing to be solved and modders don't need to tell people to add lines from next time​

Open npp and type:

#!/sbin/sh[This is the first line to call busybox]

busybox echo "" >> /system/build.prop[Call busybox for prop file]

busybox echo "Title of your added lines" >> /system/build.prop(not recommended but works absolutely)[This is the description line which is written inside build.prop for understanding of your apk's value nature..]

busybox echo "ro.config.ringtone=opal.ogg" >> /system/build.prop....(And just the same way add lines)[This line put your default ringtone to opal.ogg]

Provide a line break

busybox echo "" >> /system/build.prop[Call this line again for busybox to finish prop file]

save file with script.sh extension.....save it at the main folder which contains meta-inf folder too...

ui_print("Adding lines to build.prop");

package_extract_file("script.sh", "/tmp/script.sh");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/script.sh");

run_program("/tmp/script.sh");
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] epicsilence:
For modifying the script ...like deleting prop lines....its quite hard to manage through it..end up in bootloops...will see to work it out...if any of you have got the deleting prop lines successful then post here
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDriller:
Try this one

{ sed -i "/^$1=/{ h; s/^$1=\(.*\)/# $1 was \"\1\"\n$1=$2/ }; \${ x; s/$1//; x; t e; s/$/\n$1=$2/; : e }" "$TMP"; }

this will search your build.prop for a line and replace it with something that you want it to be... then it will echo all of that to a temporary file of your choosing for reference. it will also comment out what the old prop was

Hi, I just got an HTC MyTouch 3G which was on the Rogers network and is currently running android 1.5.

When I received it I factory reset from recovery and attempted to boot up with my Bell sim, a Telus sim, and my inactive Rogers sim from my w810i.. None of them can connect to any network (it finds Bell Ext. and a Telus network, and a rogers network). Due to the fact that this phone seems to not have wifi, I cannot even get past the Initial Setup page 1 to try anything.

So I just purchased an unlock code, and currently awaiting it.. Will this fix my problem? And how do I enter the unlock code from the setup page? Nothing pops up, as mentioned in "unlock code guides".

Thanks for any info.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DasBub:
So the phone is off, you put in your Bell SIM, turn the phone on and let it boot for a while, but it never asks you for an unlock code or anything?

You might have to clear user data. Turn the phone completely off. Then PRESS and HOLD the BACK button and the HOME button. Keep pressing those buttons and press the POWER button once, then release all of the buttons. The phone should power on an ask you if you want to clear data. Press the trackball to accept. Now try to boot up with your Bell SIM and see if it asks for an unlock code.

Let me know if that works.

- DasBub
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NFleck:
You mean clear it again after putting the bell sim in? I did a factory reset from recov when I got it.

Thanks for the in depth guide on getting to recov but as you can see from my SIG I'm fairly experienced. Looking for more less known options or experiences.. I bought a rogers pay as u go sim and a got a sub-plan with data.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DasBub:
Just being thorough :) It never hurts to reset again.

Have you tried the four corners method?

At the "Touch the Android" screen, instead of touching the android, you tap the top left corner of the screen, then top right, then bottom right, then bottom left, then touch the android. Some people say it works, some people say it doesn't, some people say it's a hoax... I don't know. But it can't hurt.

You can also try this adb method for older ROMs. Again, I've never used this method, so I can't vouch for it.

Let me know if you make any progress. :cowboy:
