[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ticklefish:
Wow...I only posted that tutorial recently! :o

All the above posts have made my day. I was in a car accident yesterday (I'm fine but the car's not) and I needed some cheering up. So, to say thank you, here's a quick guide to what you need to do:

Use Tickle My Android. (You don't have to but it's a great de/recompiling tool so why shouldn't you? lol)

Using TMA, pull and install framework-res.apk.

Pull and decompile SystemUI.apk.

Edit SystemUI.apk\res\layout\status_bar.xml.

Find a line that looks something like this:

<TextView android:layout_gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_settings_settings_button" android:singleLine="true" style="@style/StatusBarNotificationText" />

Change it to:

<TextView android:visibility="gone" android:layout_gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_settings_settings_button" android:singleLine="true" style="@style/StatusBarNotificationText" />

Recompile SystemUI.apk.

Prepare SystemUI.apk for flashing.

Create a flashable zip

Flash the zip

Enjoy not having any battery text!

Just make sure you make a backup first! :cool:

Thanks again, everyone!

p.s. If you're having problems with compiling or decompiling and you get an error, it's always wise to say what that error is. Apktool produces very long errors...but they do tell you what the problem is!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Warrior1988:
You need to install framework-res.apk and make sure to put framework-res.apk _in folder

When you have Tickle My Android up do this Press 2 - Theming Menu and then press 3 - Install Framework On PC then try.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rojikaft:
:D yep, i did! and it worked, even attach the result.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mahdian57:
I did all proceduresbut when flashing zipped file created by TMA statusbar and navbar disappeare

in CWM when flashing that file everythings seem to be ok
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ticklefish:
Any time! :D

In that case, you didn't do all the procedures correctly. To be honest, that's easy enough to do unless you've done this hundreds of times so I don't mean any offence. I made LOTS of mistakes when I was learning how to do this. ;)

In your user_files folder is a logs folder. Reset the tool by using the option in the settings menu, try your mod again and if it doesn't work please share the files in that folder. And please share your original xml as well as your modded xml.

That should give me enough information to work out what wrong.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mahdian57:
Ok. I 'll share that log file.

But i've done every steps in post above.

I' ve also compiled and after all procedures decomplied framework that it's not mentioned too.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightvsdark:
Hello guys!

So I bought my One two days ago and I'm pretty satafied with it , but the Rom that came along the device is the vodafone one , which means I have some unnecessary pre-installed apps..

So my question is how can I install a clean stock Rom ?

In addition , I experienced some things I didn't really like such as pretty bad battery life (losing about 1% after using whatsapp for a minute or even less - pretty much the same battery life I had while using my previous 3 year old sgs1) , and a little stutter while using apps like fb,youtube,play music or the camera .. Do you think that changing the Rom can fix those problems ?

Thanks in advance !
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Yes, a custom rom and/or kernel can fix those issues. You need to unlock (I think via HTC Dev is the only way at the moment), flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP, I use TWRP and recommend it), root, and flash a custom rom (some Roms come per-rooted so you may be able to skip rooting yourself). There are toolkits available in the Development forum, as well as guides to help you out. Read, read, read, and choose the method you're comfortable with. Roms close to stock, but that allow removing the bloat are Maximus and ARHD (both close to stock). I use ViperOne, a Sense rom with an insane amount of customization! Custom kernels can give you some added features that can help battery life and reduce lag. I use ElementalX and really like it. It's all here in the forums, just read, make backups, and read some more. Hoped this helps...

Helpful Tips For better User Experience -

NOTE - These tips are applicable to any ICS or JB roms using Badass Kernel by Alin.. :good:

1. use 604-66mhz sioplus smartash3 [better battery]

652-122mhz sioplus dynamicinteractive [if more load and running many apps]

787-245mhz sioplus [smartassv2 for max load and max performance.]

Dont overclock more than 787Mhz and dont increase max low frequency greater than 245Mhz.

edit - i forgot to mention this. When u r overclocking, make sure u dont use 66mhz as max low freq.

Becoz our governors were tweaked to immediately switch to lowest possible frequency, when the cpu is idle. This is to save battery.

So cpu will switch to 66mhz when idle. But when u suddenly start using ur phone, there will be severe redraws and lag coz the phone has to switch suddenly from 66mhz to a possible max frequency. This lag and redraws can be solved by using a higher freq like 122 or 245mhz when overcloking.

2. Disable KSM

3. Enable Zram and set it to 28% although zram is enabled by default

4. Use "Fix color banding and blur"

5. Uncheck 16-bit transparency

6. Check "Force use GPU Rendering"

7. Check "Always use GPU for 2D drawing"

9. Dont use any memory management apps. They take wakelocks and drain batery by running in background. Instead limit the number of background processes in Developer settings.

8. Use Clean Master app from market. Its very good. And also in dat app, enable the option to kill foreground and background processes when phone is in sleep mode. Very smooth unlocking and almost no lag even when phone is in deep sleep for a long time.

9. Switch off all radios when not using for better battery life.

10. And lastly, over clock only when u are using many apps and doing multi tasking. Switch to lower clock settings as soon as ur work is done on phone. Saves a lot battery.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Hello All,

I've been having multiple requests in PM lately about how to pack/unpack Sony kernels and initramfs, so I guess a little guide would help. It works for Xperia S/AcroS/Ion roms, it doesn't for XZ and later.

This is the method I use, there are others but it works quite well for me.

0) Pre-requisite

- A Linux PC or virtual machine. I presume it could be done with cygwin or other linux over windows method, but I never tried and don't recommend even trying :). If you're running Windows, you can use vmware or virtualbox, you'll have much less suffering... I also strongly recommend 64 bits Linux, it helps.

- A bit of Linux knowledge, I won't go in details in how to use shell, navigate between directory, etc...

- A bit of Android knowledge, I won't explain how rom are structured.

- Sony mkelf.py script.

- my sin2raw tool: source code is here, compile it with gcc sin2raw.c -o sin2raw and put it somewhere in your PATH.

- my sksplit tool: source code is here, compile it with gcc split_sony_kernel.c -o sksplit and put it somewhere in your PATH.

- Run everything as root.

1) Stock firmware unpack

First, unpack the ftf with 7z:

7z x LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_World.ftf.

You will end up with a bunch of sin files:

amss_fs_1.sin
amss_fs_2.sin
amss_fsg.sin
system.sin
userdata.sin
cache.sin
apps_log.sin
fotakernel.sin
kernel.sin
loader.sin
partition-image.sin

sin2raw will unpack properly any of these sin. We are mostly interested in system.sin and kernel.sin in this how-to though.

2) Accessing system partition

To access system partition files,

Extract system.ext4 from system.sin

sin2raw system.sin system.ext4

mount the ext4

mkdir system
mount -o loop system.ext4 system

Files are now available in the system directory on your computer, don't forget to umount it when you're done.

3) Kernel and initramfs extract

This is probably the most interesting part for many, sksplit is doing better than many method I saw.

First, convert sin to elf:

sin2raw kernel.sin kernel.elf

Then, just run sksplit on it:

sksplit kernel.elf

It will create 3 (or 4 files for Sony kernel):

sec0-0x40208000.bin
sec1-0x41300000.bin
sec2-0x00020000.bin
sec3-0x00000000.bin

Notice the hexadecimal value, we'll use them later to rebuild the kernel.elf
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
4) Ramdisk/Initramfs unpack

Be careful, this has to be done as root:

mkdir cpio
cd cpio
cat ../sec1-0x41300000.bin | gzip -d | cpio -i --make-directories

Note: replace 0x41300000 with the proper value if it differs for your kernel...

If you see this in the cpio directory:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 tama tama 12 Aug 24 21:22 init -> sbin/init.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 tama tama 280128 Aug 24 21:22 logo.rle
drwxr-x--- 2 tama tama 4096 Aug 24 21:22 sbin

with this in sbin:

-rwxr-x--- 1 tama tama 495 Aug 24 21:22 bootrec-device
-rwxr-x--- 1 tama tama 657700 Aug 24 21:22 busybox
-rwxr-x--- 1 tama tama 67020 Aug 24 21:22 extract_elf_ramdisk
-rwxr-x--- 1 tama tama 1832 Aug 24 21:22 init.sh
-rwxr-x--- 1 tama tama 589824 Aug 24 21:22 ramdisk.cpio
-rwxr-x--- 1 tama tama 2895360 Aug 24 21:22 ramdisk-recovery.cpio

The initramfs is using the new way of handling recovery used in Cyanogen and many roms. You'd need these extra steps to extract android ramdisk:

cd ..
mkdir cpio_native
cd cpio_native
cat ../cpio/sbin/ramdisk.cpio | cpio -i --make-directories

Now, you can edit/replace files in the ramdisk.

5) initramfs repack

If you are dealing with a Cyanogen like ramdisk, first do this, if not, go to next step.

find . | cpio -o -H newc > ../cpio/sbin/ramdisk.cpio
cd ../cpio

Next step is :

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -c > ../initramfs.new.gz
cd ..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
6) elf re-assembly

This is the easy part :)

You have to re-assemble all the parts together with mkelf.py.

mkelf.py -o new_kernel.elf ./sec0-0x40208000.bin@0x40208000 initramfs.new.gz@0x41300000,ramdisk sec2-0x00020000.bin@0x20000,rpm

Notes:

Replace the values in red with the one sksplit gave you

If you want to change kernel (zImage), just replace ./sec0-xxx.bin with your kernel filename in the mkelf command

Don't try to add the Sony signature (sec3-xxxx), it won't work :)

That's it! Let me know if you need more details, I'll add them here.

Thanks a lot, you have my dollar! :3

EDIT: Can you post that sksplit thingy? Or do I really need to download everything and compile it? D:

EDIT2: And do you realize us mortals only have 8 thanks per day? :P

Also, I tried extracting the kernel with 7zip, then unpack the '1' file with gunzip, then unpacked the /sbin/ramcisk.cpio with your method. Packaged it all up with your method and I'll edit my post to tell you if it's working :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Yes, download the source code, it's one file only, and compile it. It avoids troubles with 32/64 bits runtimes:

type this:

wget https://gitorious.org/sony-tools/sony-tools/blobs/raw/master/split_sony_kernel.c
gcc split_sony_kernel.c -o sksplit

it will download and generate directly sksplit.

if you need sin2raw, just type this:

wget https://gitorious.org/sony-tools/sony-tools/blobs/raw/master/sin2raw.c
gcc sin2raw.c -o sin2raw
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Nah, I'm using 7zip. Don't have the patience for downloads and compiles on my slow internet/PC combo :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Bad idea! :)

Source is less than 10 KB and takes like 10 seconds to compile. With it, you're absolutely sure that extracted sizes are exact up to the byte, and sksplit will give you the right mkelf offsets, the matching rpm.bin, etc... 7z extract could fail to extract the complete file and could not work depending on compression scheme.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gallardo994:
Yep, managed to compile and make a flashable zip of 39 baseband just using friend's PC Linux distro with my phone. Ssh owns ;) Compilation process didn't take more than quarter of a second, same with sin2raw repacking.

Powered by GSR with Android 4.1.2 on the board.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Okay, did that. Hope the Sense kernel works now :P

EDIT: Also tried doing this with my own kernel, but it won't boot. Now could this be because I added -03 to the wrong places or because of your method...? :P
