Jump to post 2 for CWM log

(SORRY I was calling it the wrong thing, i corrected it to say /preload)

Hey guys, thanks for dropping in and taking the time to read this... been lurking since the OG Evo. Anyways, here's the problem.

I posted some of this in another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

I ran whompasaurus for a few months and jumped to NoWizAOSP for a while. Then I decided to try MacksRom and didn't like it. So I decided to go back to whomp and I couldn't. Aroma would fail every time because of an error something like "file_getprop failed to stat tmp/aroma-data/launchers.prop no such file or directory". So then I flashed

[ROM][RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset

After flashing this I am still having problems with TWRP saying it can t mount /preload. I've tried booting into recovery and doing a factory reset after installing this RESTORE rom, but still no dice.

I keep thinking it has something to do with partitions so i found a PIT file and flashed it through ODIN and it didnt seem to do anything. IDK, maybe I got the wrong PIT file or I did it wrong?

I flashed CWM cuz it lets you format /preload... but it wont do it.

I think maybe there is something wrong with my vold.fstab so here is what mine looks like:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1/

Idk if this is what its supposed to look like. If anyone can post what their vold.stab looks like?

The phone still works fine but I can hardly flash anything. It's better than nothing but if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] brokenbmx06:
I recently had the same problem and a lot of my flashes were failing. I ended up using Odin to completely unroot my phone and install the stock rom. Then used the note 2 toolkit to re-root and clean install everything now everything works as it should.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
The preload issue is unrelated to you being unable to install the rom you want. The preload partition is empty and worthless. You should probably post your install issue in the thread for the rom you're installing because I bet it's related to something in the way that rom installs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evertroy:
But ive installed the whompasaurus rom a few times, and it never gave me this problem. Only until i tried a couple other roms and tried to go back to whomp it wont install. I cant believe its the rom because nobody else has this issue. It has to be something with my phone.

Can i reconstruct that partition with adb? Whould it help and what would I type?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evertroy:
Hey man, you were totally spot on with that! Sorry I had doubt in you, but it was totally the whompasaurus rom that was not playing nice. I kept selecting custom install and aroma would blow past the "choose your launcher" screen so it wouldnt generate a launchers.prop. Selected FULL install and it went through all the motions of letting me select my choices, including a launcher, and installed just fine.

Thanks again! I just can't believe how much time I wasted on this. Now I know that there was really nothing wrong, I feel like bricking this phone is near impossible with all the abuse I put it through trying to "fix" it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
Glad you got it resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evertroy:
Yeah, it would help if I actually read the menu in the ROM installer. Man, I'm such an idiot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I found this MMS apk for the Verizon S3. Looks like it is a combination of the TW and AOSP MMS styles. Is there a way to port it over or use it on the Tmobile S3? Havent found an MMS apk that has Quick Reply and gets rid of the ugly grey contact boxes on every line of the conversation. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you've tried that one already.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
It's for the Verizon s3. Can it be used on a T-Mobile one? I thought things like this weren't interchangeable
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Push the APK to system and fix permissions. Worst case is it doesn't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
It still has the stupid contact photos in every line

Can a Lumia 920 owner be a gem and share one of the wallpapers that came stock on the phone? I'm looking to get the wallpaper that features the old Apollo shuttle sitting on the launchpad. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Sorry I was looking in the wrong place. But those files aren't accessible on the phone afaik.
[Nokia Lumia 920] drunkenscholar:
Damn! Thanks for trying.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
System files of any kind rather wallpapers, audio, or other can not be accessed nor shared on the Lumia all system files are locked and cannot even be seen. When connected to a PC the only files you can see are the user files in the user space of the memory.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pauls.in.sf:
I've searched and see a lot of info related to using the Sprint HTC One on Verizon's network. Voice should work over CDMA but I haven't found any info about changing SIM. My question is if I use a Verizon SIM instead of the Sprint one will it work on Verizon's LTE network?

Thanks,
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
I would be suprised if this worked. Verizon's LTE is on 700mhz spectrum. I doubt a Sprint htc one is tuned for that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I think if we had unlock and root and could modify the phone, parts of the phone could work on Verizon. However, I believe you would have an uphill battle in getting Verizon to activate a Sprint device in their network.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
rethinking this, I don't think it will work at all. Sprint isn't beholden to the same rules as Verizon for using the 700 block spectrum. They are free to lockout verizon LTE.

Besides, why would you want to use a sprint phone on verizon network? If you don't have sprint signal, it will roam to verizon anyways.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Indirect:
Actually, I'm pretty sure the only LTE band supported by Sprint's One is 1900Mhz so its not possible at all, let alone to lock it out.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pauls.in.sf:
Thanks, Figures! Too bad, the reason I wanted to use Sprint's One is "RED" .... it really is nice looking :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] projektorboy:
Verizon's network runs on an ESN white-list. If the ESN of the device doesn't match up with their database the phone is going to be rejected no matter what you do. The only way around that is to do (highly illegal) ESN cloning.

Credits

Credit goes out to these guys :)

Pizza_Dox - for hc & gm scripts, 02SDCardAccel, 08IO, 20vmlt, 82Sleepers, some build.prop tweaks :)

Chainfire - for some scripts. 01-GPU_touchrender, libncurses.so

ImbaWind - for Adrenaline Boost script

Spex - for some of the Fluid Engine tweaks and some build.prop edits, I started out with his collection and kept tweaking it and changing it up every now and then it. Thanks! :D

zeppelinrox - for sclean script

LENAROX - for 20vmlt, FPs Stabilizer, ADJ values, avcore, and you made cpuramcheck script possible. Thanks :)

defiant07 - for helping create the build.prop tweak installer script

BSDgeek_Jake - For the motherload of AD-blocking host files, best and largest database I've seen so far :)

And once again because I can't tell you how annoying it is for someone to screw up their own device for not following instructions carefully and then blame someone else.. I will NOT be held responsible if this causes any damage to your device, you are responsible for making a nandroid backup in the case that a bootloop occurs.

Enjoy :D

Looking for the 9/3 build is it uploaded yet ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RuffBuster:
Testing now..

just wondering about using CrossBreeder with this package? Also are you using V6SuperCharger because I see an installation marker which you get from installing V6 in your build prop extras?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] okanb3:
Is this mod make difference on my Gnexus ? Or it is just for some old devices?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leolawliet:
There isn't, I just decided to make the thread on 9/3

9/1/2013 is the latest.

I use it sometimes, I would usually leave that line at the bottom of my build.prop. V6SuperCharger isn't included. I high'y recommend you don't use crossbreeder with this, it will conflict with the tweaks I've already added. This is like crossbreeder, it's a package of tweaks. You only need one or the other, otherwise too many conflicting tweaks could cause more problems than benefits.

It made a difference on two of my devices, both different and not exactly high end. It helped with my LG Optimus L9 which is fairly new, not even a year old. Try it out and if you don't like it restore your backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
Skimmed the zip's contents out of general curiosity and it seems like a pretty suspect, half assed haphazard hodgepodge to me :eek:. The problems are numerous :(...

There are no usage instructions in your OP (for xbin scripts and it seems one of your init.d scripts requires user editing).

There is nothing in your zip that installs the build.prop tweaks you list in the OP.

Your turbo xbin script is totally empty, lol.

34dalvikcalc does absolutely nothing.

cpuramcheck will do nothing. EDIT - I am an idiot...this script does work as intended.

Those are the issues I noticed in five minute skim, but I imagine there are others.

BTW, why include three zipalign scripts???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leolawliet:
Build.prop tweaks weren't applying with the installer, for that I apologize, so I decided to post them in the OP so users have the option to copy & paste whatever they like to their own build.prop. I still need to fix up the OP, it's still not 100% done. I've been testing these tweaks myself along with the help of other users, nothing bad has happened to either of our devices, in fact they like the boost they got from it. I can't say for sure that everyone will get the same results, but please keep in mind I've only had a chance to test it on 2 devices, both of which seemed to run better with the tweaks so I can't really say I'm noticing any problems other than some stuff I wanna remove. I like the engine the way it is, doesn't need stuff added onto it but I don't like the filesize and hope to shrink it down some more. If you got any suggestions to slim it down, shoot away I'm listening.

I was supposed to remove turbo but forgot, I noticed it wasn't working at all. It's getting replaced with Hyper Cola v2.6

The xbin scripts instructions, I'll get to it when I can write it up, just a busy night at the moment. Labor day weekend just passed and I'm getting back to work (actually at work as we speak) I'll write instructions along the way, my bad for not including them.

34dalvikcalc & cpuramcheck are working fine for me, do you have the latest busybox installed?

As for the question about the zipalign scripts, zipalign is needed while zalignx and zepalign do the zipaligning in their own ways, just not sure what other users preferred zipaligning with. There's a difference tho, I think zalignx is more detailed, at least I get to see what gets zipaligned or already was prior to running the script.

Any more feedback you or anyone can provide will help, I'll fix the errors just gotta point them out :p

İ cant fiash it.My phone is huawei sonic with CM9 4.0.4
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DiamondBond:
Just some info, good job first off!

2nd - dalvik calc WONT work, its placebo (bad Unix), I made it for a Rom of mine or sth and it had some Unix issues, I even named it 34dalvikcalc, it's not 100% mine, I nodded it, and its originall creator was someone from another forum (can't remember) and it didn't properly calculate, so I fixed and popped in meh Rom, and LENAROXS fps stabilizer actually uncaps the fps limit, its a bad tweak, as higher fps than refresh rate causes some weird screen stutters and probs, besides we can't see past 60fps

I hope this project turns up good and I will look forward to trying, once again, Awesome job!, ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
At least you are responsive and responsible in that you acknowledge and try to fix your problems :). However, IMO you should not release stuff unless you fully test everything (try using debug :p).

Regarding the build.prop stuff your OP states it's included (and I quote: "The tweaks included are listed below:")??? If you don't have the time to make a half decent, informative, and accurate OP, IMO you should wait and release the product when you do have the time...there's no rush, XDA will still be here tomorrow.

As [MENTION=4725371]Pizza_Dox[/MENTION] said 34dalvikcalc is totally flawed...it does nothing in Pizza Box too (which I looked at last night as well since you credited him). Do you know anything about bash/shell scripting??? Busybox version is irrelevant, I did not run any of your scripts (nor will I ever)...as I stated all I did was a 5 min skim, but just by looking at the code I can tell it is bad. If you cannot tell this code:

#!/system/xbin/sh
# The Dalvik Optimizer 1.0 by Pizza_Dox
mem=785624;
heapsize=0;
dalvik_heapsize=0;
dalvik_vm_heapsize="m";
setprop dalvik.vm.heapsize ;

# XDA: http://goo.gl/xEdOa
# Blog: http://androidpizza.blogspot.com/
# Email: diamond.nigel75@Gmail.com

is bad, you have no business releasing mod packages. What in this script leads you to believe it does anything productive??? Again try using debug.

As for cpuramcheck, you can really run that script??? I smell BS (unless maybe you have a magic rom of some sort???)...as previously stated, try actually testing before releasing. The major issue with this script is it is missing that good ole fashion required opening line - #!/system/bin/sh. So there is no way it will do anything for anybody (you included), lol. FAIL. EDIT - I was wrong...this script DOES function as intended...EPIC FAIL on my part.

Try actually learning some code instead of "borrowing" it all and you may avoid such issues :silly:.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leolawliet:
cpuramcheck works..

The rest of whatever you said I'm ignoring, take your negativity elsewhere. Nobody likes a troll. Maybe if you actually tried something instead of immediately bashing on something, you'd see that it works..

I don't need your opinion, it looks like you're trying to discourage me, that's not cool. If you don't like this thread you don't have to stick around and be a troll.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
My bad, I stand semi-corrected, cpuramcheck kinda sorta works. If you try and run it by doing su -c cpuramcheck (which is the way most bin scripts work...including the others in your mod package), it will NOT work...you will get a 'cannot execute' error. To make it work the user would have to manually invoke the shell, which is very odd to begin with, plus it is inconsistent with the other bin scripts you included. I doubt most users would figure this out. BTW, adding the standard opening line would eliminate the need for the user to call the shell manually. I'll call this one a wash as we are both right and wrong. EDIT: Okay, you are 100% correct in these regards...

I am a donkey idiot

...I tested it as an xbin script out of curiosity (with the text I stuck out I ran it in script manager, which required me to tell it is was a script, hence some of my comments) and it does work as intended...guess I need to learn more about bin and shell scripts...I will cop to my mistake and edit my previous post so people know I was wrong in this matter.

What you do NOT want to acknowledge your incompetence in regards to 34dalvikcalc so you choose to ignore my questions? LOL

I am not trying to troll you; just calling things as I see them [edit: (which is obviously wrong sometimes)].

If it discourages you from doing things you obviously have no business doing, then GOOD...it helps the quality control of XDA. XDA does NOT need another completely unoriginal mod package where the dev does not really/fully know what they are doing.

Ignorance is bliss; enjoy it, as it seems you are drowning in it...don't be mad I called you on your BS and lack of knowledge. Again maybe try actually learning some bash/shell scripting before you try to compile a mod package.

I held off on give this a one star rating, but your comments have confirmed my initial suspicions...sad and pathetic.

Have fun dragging down the overall quality of XDA and collecting undeserved thanks from the legions of silly crack flashers.

EDIT: Overly harsh...poor form on my part...many apologies. I will refrain from further commentary...I should have learned by now that if one has nothing good to say it is best to remain silent.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drumbeater79:
Is it compatible to use this mod on LG OPTIMUS G PRO?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leolawliet:
There's only one way to know. Make a nandroid backup first, then flash the tweaks. If you find anything wrong let me know. This isn't for every phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leolawliet:
If you like I can help you with this later if you're still interested in trying the tweaks, I'm on my way home from work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leolawliet:
I get where you're coming from now, I should've prepared the thread better before posting it. I got a bit eager and felt like sharing it and hopefully improving it along the way. Well, I corrected the title of the post and marked it as a project. I might actually rename PenberEngine to something else along the way, I don't think I'll stick with the name. It's just there because I use the tweaks on my roms.

I hadn't realized the turbo script was empty at first, it didn't copy over correctly. The one I had on my device wasn't empty. I guess I made a mistake with that in zipping it, my bad. Although it's better that I exclude the turbo script, I like Hyper Cola better. I'm including a couple of things I wanted to add before, and I removed enough stuff to slim it down to 2mb instead of 8mb.

This is what I saw on the build.prop script that stood out, the starting line was this:

#!/sbin/sh

while the line you gave me looked like this:

#!/system/bin/sh

I'll post back and let you know. Thanks for the pointer.

Edit: weird stuff happened, a 2nd build.prop was created
