You'll have to do a lot more reading to get things where you want to be. As noted, you should always at least make sure it boots on your own phone before posting it up for others. Also, nightly implies that you are building from source after modifying the source every day. It really does not apply to a ROM like you attempted to make. You're original idea would basically replace all of android 4.3 with whatever build xenon hd is. There is really no point. The reason it didn't boot based on what you posted above is that you mixed 4.2.x files (framework, etc.) with 4.3 files (whatever was left in /system/app that you did not replace). I'd suggest taking a look at this thread to get a very basic idea about how ROMs are structured.

To accomplish your goal of incorporating features from xenon into android 4.3, the easiest way would be to build from source (assuming xenon source is available somewhere). This thread and this thread are good ones to get linux setup to compile aosp. I compile in a virtual machine on my windows desktop and it works pretty well (compiles in an hour or 2 when building fresh). There's a lot to it and I still run into errors, but usually others have too and you can find help.

If you cannot build from source, you'll have to decompile apk's/jar's from xenon, compare them to the same apk/jar from version of android xenon is, and then carry over those changes to the apk's/jar's decompiled from android 4.3. There are tools like apktool to decompile apk's and jar's. A program like BeyondCompare will help find out what changes need to be made, but it will be pretty difficult unless you know what apk/jar to look in and what .smali file needs to be modified.

It takes a long time and lots of reading and searching, but it is worth it to know how to support your own device (ie not rely on others for custom roms). Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Awesome info. Thanks man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Honestly though, when I synced the Android repo to update to 4.3, I had to stash just about every repo. They changed a lottt of things in their external repos and frameworks. So I'm honestly not sure some kitchen edits will really help, due to so many 'behind-the-scenes' changes in the actual repos.

Hi,

I'm quite new to the scene and don't understand much but I'm trying to learn everyday.

I rooted my LG L9 P768 this morning in order to run a game which required more space than I had available on my device. However I was led to an application called chainfire as the game wasn't running correctly (in order to lower the graphics). I didn't read the part about not supporting JB and now I'm stuck with the infamous boot screen problem (Won't go past boot screen)

After reading online that I had to flash it with a ROM (I downloaded the stock JB ROM from lg-phone-firmware), I have now been met with a wall.

I do not know head or tail where to begin with this procedure. Could someone kindly offer me some guidance on this matter, it would be much appreciated =).

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] auburnham:
Hey guys, I've been playing around with 2003SE trying to figure out how to change the bootsplash, and this is what I've found so far.

I executed the following command:

pmemdump.exe 0x80000000 0x2000000 rom.raw

This should have dumped the entire ROM, as documented here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/wince-rom-layout.html

I then opened the file rom.raw using IrfanView with the following options:

Image Width=240, Image height=70000, Header size=0, 16 BPP, NO Vertical flip.

And I was able to see an image that resembled the bootsplash near the top, but it was distorted. However, about a quarter of the way down I see the "Welcome to T-Mobile" logo in 320x240 perfectly.

It looks like the distorted bootsplash image is repeated twice when I open it in this format, so I tried opening the file with a width of 120 pixels, but it was still distorted. I've tried opening the raw file with all of the combinations I can think of, but none show the bootsplash clearly.

Any ideas of how we can determine it's starting byte position and format?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] auburnham:
WM2003SE Bootsplash Address and Format Found

The bootsplash for the available WM2003SE rom is stored at 0x800417e0, and is only 76800 bytes long. Extract it from the rom using the following command:

pmemdump 0x800417e0 76800 bootsplash.raw

Open it as a 320x240 raw file with 8 bits per pixel (grayscale?) no header.

I have attached the bootsplash.raw file below, but had to change extension to .txt for uploading.

I'm unable to write a new bootsplash since pnewbmp doesn't support this offset, and pnewbootloader has other complaints using this offset.

There may be some color information in the 8 bits per pixel.

What we need now:

1.) Someone that knows more about graphic formats to investigate if the bootsplash has color information.

2.) A modified version of the pnewbmp.exe file from http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html that supports the new offset. (Ideally, modify it so it can be used for any offset).

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Are u sure?

old files had been twice big (153600 Byte)

Have you tried this size?

You shoud be able to run

pnewbmp -o 0x800417e0 filename

The file you've upladed doesn't look complete.....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
The T-Mobile ROm you´ve found is added by the kitchen.

Until now it´s not possible to cook a ROM without the splashscreen. So it´s added at the 0x80780000 position.

Has nothing to do with the real splash screen....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] auburnham:
Fairly Certain

Stefan,

You're absolutely right, it is definitely different than previous bootsplash formats. If I'm right, it's half the size because it uses 8 bits per pixel instead of 16 bits per pixel, as before. I believe that means it must use a standard 256 color table. We just need to know which standardized color table it uses (Windows System?), and find graphics software that will open bitmaps without headers.

I've tried dumping the old file size, but it is just garbage after 76800 bytes. Perhaps they switched to this format to save memory.

That's good to know. I thought that was the real bootsplash, and there was some switch in the code for this version of the ROM to point the bootsplash image to a temporary image that we are seeing. Let me illustrate with code:

Internal_Rom = True;
...
If (Internal_Rom==True)
Bootsplash_start_byte=0x800417e0;
else
Bootsplash_start_byte=0x80780000;

But since that's not the case, we don't need to worry about tracking down that switch.

I've tried using pnewbmp with the offset option, but I'm getting an error reading the bitmap. I've tried appending the original ROM data after my custom bootsplash (when necessary) to create files of sizes 76800, 151672, and 153600, but I still received the error so I don't think it is a problem with the file size, but it may not recognize the format. (pnewbmp appears to be trying to read the size 0x25800=153600, so that file size should have worked if it were a file size issue)

So, here's a theory of how to make a bootsplash for this new ROM format:

1. Create your image in RGB 320x240.

2. Change Image Mode to 8 bits/channel, and Indexed Color using the Palette "System (Windows)" (?).

3. Save your file in RAW format (Uncheck Alpha Channels), 0 Header

Resulting File Size=76800.

Now I just need to test this theory using a program that will allow me to write an arbitrary number of bytes to an arbitrary byte offset in the ROM.

Shawn
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] auburnham:
It works!

I'm getting ready to sell my Wallaby (replaced with PPC-6700), so I gave my (old) theory a try, and it worked!

I executed the following commands:

pmemdump.exe 0x80000000 0x417e0 one.raw
pmemdump.exe 0x800543E0 0x1FABC20 three.raw

I opened one.raw, three.raw, my new bootsplash raw image (described above), and an example NK.nbf file in a hex editor (PSPad). I appended the first two lines from NK.nbf to one.raw. They look like this:

I then appended my new bootsplash image to the end of one.raw, then appended three.raw to the end of one.raw. I then saved this file as NK.nbf and replaced the default NK.nbf for the installer built at LumpiStefan's site.

When I ran the installer, it complained that aa9a wasn't the correct checksum, but it went through anyway, and works fine. The only problem is I can't control colors, since I don't know what color pallet it uses. The closest match is Mac OS. Until that gets figured out, it's best to just use a black & white image.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] senory:
Hello everyone, first off I want to say I have flashed many different phones with CM over the past few years. I have been a fan of android phones since Day 1. I got a G1 the day they came out and was pretty active in the scene up about about 2 years ago. I had a G2 for awhile as well, loved it... had CM on it as well. Anyway, the problem at hand is this Galaxy S III.

I have flashed many phones for friends and co-workers and whomever asks. I have NEVER had such a problem with flashing a phone as this one.

Apparently its a regionally special model (SGH-T999L).

I have downloaded CWM 6.0.3.1 after rooting with motochopper (easiest root experience ever), then I attempted to flash to CM10.1.2. The phone is currently on 4.1.2. When I attempt to flash from CWM, it gives the assert failed error. I have seen a few other threads about this but they were regarding other carriers (AT&T) and honestly I have tried a million and one things in attempt to get this to flash, I have seriously spent over 8 hours today trying to get this flashed to CM10.1.2 and even 10.1, I even tried using the touch version of CWM and tried TWRP to see if I'd get a different result... But no.. same result.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I have tried everything I can think of on all three platforms... Win7, MacOSX 10.6.8 and Ubuntu 10 and 12.... cannot get it to flash to CM no matter what. I am almost positive it is something I am overlooking. If anyone knows how to get past this please let me know, I will gladly send you a present via fedex.

Thanks in advance.

Basically in some roms, particularly cm and aosp roms they check the bootloader to make sure its up to date. The T999L is just so new that many devs have not yet added its bootloader to the updater-script. Read the info I have in the thread I linked and if you need help editing the script, let me know.

Ill try to fix and upload the rom shortly, just to make it easy for everyone.

One last question, is there a baseband update I need to apply for CM10.1.2 / 4.2.2 ? -- I got the gapps installed and there doesn't appear to be problems yet, but the know-it-alls in #cyanogenmod seem to think I need to install a baseband update but they cannot provide me with a link... so I was wondering what your take on that is.

It's bad advice. Ignore it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

Baseband is your modem which should have nothing to do with your rom. They probably meant bootloader. But the T999L only has one version of firmware available right now, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. Theyd probably tell you to use MD5, but that would brick your phone!

[Android General] klorgfasder:
I have compiled a list of all pre-installed apps on Samsung devices (see attachment as xls and ods), the sources being all similar lists I've found on the various forums here and my own devices (GT-P7501, GT-n8000, GT-S5830). If there were a general 'Samsung Devices'-forum instead of a separate one for each single device, I'd have posted there, but as it is, this seemed the most appropriate place - move this thread if I am wrong :).

I'd like to freeze or remove as many superfluous (for me!) apps on my devices as possible, but (as Gandalf said to Saruman - or words to that effect: "He who breaks a thing to find out what it is has deviated from the path of wisdom") I'd like to know exactly what app is what for beforehand.

Any research here and elsewhere is complicated by the facts that not only mostly localized names are used (What is named "Mobile Tracker" on English devices is "uTrack" on German ones) but that sometimes even the app-IDs differ (localized? "Accu Weather Widget" comes as "com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget" on one device and "com.sec.android.widgetapp.at.hero.accuweather.widget" on another). And to confuse even more, some come as "com.sec.[some thing or other]" here and just as "com.[some thing or other]" there or are just named differently on different devices and/or Android versions ("Picasa Uploader", "Meine Uploads").

So what I have done is compile this list incorporating as many variants I could detect and the general opinion (from the lists I found here and my own experience) if it is safe to free/remove when not needed. The most important part, for me, is the description. I have filled all I've found here and found out myself, but with quite a few I have no idea what it is for.

It would be great if you, the reader of this, would look over the list and help to fill out the blanks - this might be useful for all of us (or show me that already complete list/database in the other forum that I did not find ;))
