[HTC One X] gamezbond:
Ive decided to root and use a custom rom on my One X so just starting to use this tool.

I must say, the gui looks very good and the flow is perfectly logical.

Good effort mate, and Thank you :)

Keep up the good work.

WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.5 Now Out!

I'm happy to announce that the WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.5 update is now out! As always, let me know what you think and report any bugs you encounter! :highfive:

You can download it here.
[HTC One X] Trogladyte:
The programme seems to be a bit unstable on my Windows 7 laptop. I am getting crashes with the message "toolkit has stopped working".

Just crashed again on attempting to get token. It said "rebooting device" and then crashed. Phone subsequently booted into recovery, and I had to restart the programme.

I'm now unsure about proceeding. Could do with out a crash in the middle of something scary.

Edit - yep- did it again. Any thoughts?

Also, I am reluctant to unlock the bootloader before i am sure about what I am doing next - which is flash recovery. Which recovery do I need for a UK One XL on Orange? Bootloader reports the device as "Evita". Does that mean I use HTC One X AT&T (evita)? I didn't think this phone was the AT&T variant.
[HTC One X] Rapscallion16:
WinDroid Toolkit v3.0 Is Now Out!

WinDroid Toolkit v3.0 has been released! It's a huge update with a material redesign, major recode and support for 43 new devices!

You can out more specific changes in the changelog here.

You can download the new update here.

All versions before v3.0 will not have their files updated anymore since I've moved from hosting on BasketBuild to Amazon S3. Please update to v3.0 to ensure you're getting the latest recovery and root files!
[HTC One X] Giovix92:
Man, i'm trying to use this tool with my HTC ONE X (EndeavorU), International Version with Tegra 3, but, when i open your toolkit in WinXP Pro SP3, A "Unfortunately, Windroid Toolkit has crashed" message appear, and i can't use your toolkit. I need to use Win7 Ultimate? Or it's a problem of compatibility?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] benjlamont:
I have heard conflicting reports that the Universal will act as a USB host?

Has anyone got this to work?

Would be great if you could use something like an Iriver as a movie or software drive for the phone 8) :D 8) :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SuperDDD:
NO USB-HOST!

Just confirmed by O2 during the live chat session over at tekguru.co.uk :-(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dgpurvis:
This is the problem - there are conflicting reports. Some who have Universals have reported USB host is present, others say it is not. The question is - why do those who say it is think it is there unless they have seen in in action...? Then the guy form O2 says it definitely isn't.

Very confusing...!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] benjlamont:
is it true that 3rd party software will allow USB hosting?

This issue will prob decide if I buy an Universal
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rudegar:
these 2 reviews also say yes

What are you trying to do? Ram is fixed and android handles it pretty efficiently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hapticxchaos:
I am trying to get as much free RAM as possible on stock rooted. Do you have any suggestions?

To further clarify, I wish to do this at the system level, VS using greenify or other 3rd party solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Free ram is useless ram. Don't worry about it. Android handles it well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hapticxchaos:
I do appreciate that you think you're helping with your answers, but I do have my reasons for needing and wanting the RAM, so I would appreciate it if instead of answering with your opinion on the matter, if you could provide an actual answer to the question. To provide further details, I do not believe samsung has their memory management down. On stock rooted (and majorly debloated) I should have more than 1gb of RAM free. I have used custom ROMs with bigger system partitions that managed to have up to 1.6 free when in idle. That, coupled with in my personal experience, with more RAM available, it provides better performance. Surely this is some how possible on stock as well.

I used to know how to edit the build.prop back in GB days...or I used a minfree manager? I'm not sure what the appropriate procedure for this would be on JB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Get build prop editor and go for it then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
It isn't an opinion. It is a proven fact that unused RAM is wasted RAM. Look it up. This isn't GB. The system takes up a ton of stuff. You should not have over 1GB of free RAM, even on an out of the box S4. You can get it with heavy tweaks and a custom ROM, but you have to be able to find that stuff.

Also, there are many guides that would help you if you took the time to find them instead of posting a question that has been answered before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hapticxchaos:
I havent attempted to refute the fact that unused RAM is wasted RAM, only that the more RAM available, the better the user experience. When I was speaking of opinions, I was referring to his ideals that I shouldnt worry about it. I can if I want, especially considering I do believe being able to achieve 1.4 or 1.6 free ram on stock rom will provide a great stable user experience.

I realize this isnt GB. This is why I posted this thread, to inquire and learn. I certainly see no reason why I shouldnt be able to reach over a 1GB of ram with root. I am not speaking in regards to an "out of the box s4". I am speaking in regards to heavy tweaks, which is EXACTLY what I've been inquiring about.

If there are so many guides that pertain to my specific question, why dont you cite a source and put your money where your mouth is. You really believe I havent been sitting on google trying to figure it out myself? Maybe instead of adding to what you consider to be a waste of a thread that has been answered before, perhaps you could end the thread with an answer instead of cockiness.

As a "recognized contributor" I would think you would have a little more poise when interacting with other members.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
It is impossible to have more than 3 quarters of the RAM free on a stock S4. I have a heavily tweaked custom TW ROM and get 1.15 GB free on average. You are asking for a bit too much. You will have to drop the stock ROM if you are not on MF3 and go with a highly tweaked, non TW based ROM and a great kernel to get close to what you want.

I personally use SHOStock ROM 2.2, Ktoonz latest TW kernel with KTweaks with the recommended settings, turbo ZRAM, Greenify and Battery Guru to maximize my system. At this current moment, I have 865 MB/1.78 GB RAM.

All of these items are easily found in google or on the first page of the General section, The QA Section, The Games and APP Section, the Original Development section, or the Development section Of this exact forum. Why should I post something for you that is right under your nose? For what you are looking for, Google is not a good source. You will not find one single thing that will help you. You need multiple items and lots of time to fine tune your system. Google is only good for finding one or 2 things unless you know how to use key words.

As a Recognized Contributor, I have been excessively helpful to thousands of people on XDA. I would not have the title if it were untrue. I do however find your original attitude towards jd1639 to be a bit uncalled for. All the answers were on par because your question was not very clear to begin with.

Lets put it this way. You need a complete overhaul to get even close to the amount of memory you seek. It is impossible to have that much free RAM on a TW based ROM. It would be a close call on any non TW based ROM, and I doubt you would even get there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hapticxchaos:
you have contradicted yourself several times in your reply, friend. From the answers being on the first page to google not being a good source. From claiming to have knowledge of threads pertaining to my question, to the answers arent available at all. Well which is it? I have no problem overhauling my system, im asking how to do that. I have run TW roms that were capable of this even on my s3 sl clearly it is possible. Perhaps I will PM a few devs, but there is no reason I shouldnt be able to post in the q & a section with a q that has clearly never been answered, and expect more responses than the ideologies of unused RAM vs wasted RAM.

so thanks for your contribution
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
You miss understand my answers. I'm done here. If you are unwilling to take my obvious attempt to give you a little edge in the right direction, I am unwilling to further discuss this.

Actually... One last thing. If you are on MF3,you are screwed and can't do anything to get even close to what you want. You will be stuck on stock. I suggest not trying to tweak anything because if you mess up, you can't fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Well apparently bricked mf3 phones can now be fixed at best buy with a Samsung service center...they have the ability to reflash mf3

And to the OP, I don't really know how to help you get more ram other than debloating the phone and stopping all the special s functions. However like everyone else has said there is no reason for more free ram. Any speed up you notice by free ram is a placebo. In the days of GB free ram did mean better performance but not anymore. You say you notice less lag on custom ROMs and you assume its related to the more ram being available, however its most likely due to tweaks the dev has applied to their ROM, whether its CPU oc, animation tweaks or whatever.

Here is what I suggest, which ever ROM you're referring to that had great performance. Contact that dev and ask what tweaks he had applied, than re-apply those tweaks to your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mark324:
I have gotten mine rooted recently.installed titanium and uninstalled or frozed useless apps.like service provider apps and Samsung extras like gestures and stuff. I can get 1gb free ram..I don't know if its worth it but I use advanced task killer to free up mem.or go to deleoper settings and limit the number of running apps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] penguin449:
Hey Guys this First script ive ever wrote!

With this simple tool you can Decompile your kernel into the Ramdisk and the other stuff that makes a kernel :p this will then allow you to make changes to the ramdisk easily, swap ramdisks and stuff to create repacks to allow OC kernels for different android versions and edit bootclasspaths for porting sense ROMs and stuff..

For a quick tutorial you can simply do this:

- Drag and drop your boot.img onto the decompilekernel.bat and it should split into two parts, the ramdisk, and other stuff (not important really)

- After you've made your edits and stuff, double click the recompilekernel.bat and this will make your boot.img and name it new kernel (cant remember) and the edited ramdisk.

- Once you've done what you wish to do with, double click the makeclean.bat and then everything will be cleaned except the two kernels!

Download here

Will upload with screenshots and stuff when this gets a tad more popular.. If not i see no reason to continue the updates :p Sorry

The idea is good, but in my opinion there is a downside: it's becoming pretty easy to change important stuff...

So please think before you change something. If you're not 100% sure what you are doing, better don't do it.

But otherwise, nice work ;)

You can use Dsxida's Kitchen >>Go to Old Stuffs>Porting and You can decomiple Ramdiosk and kernel there :)

But still hanks for your handwork
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] penguin449:
Ofcourse there are gonna be other ways and tools, but isnt this just the easiest? you have 1folder and 3bat's. Drag and drop to decompile and then double click to recompile, no need for Java paths or anything, straight to the point, small file, all in one directory and is fast, no need to learn how to use Dsxida's Kitchen or muck about with other files.

No BullS**t just straight tools.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mazwoz:
I'm slightly confused. Why do we need another tool that does this. Kudos on your first script, and it can be a great learning opportunity, but I fail to see the merit in another tool to do the same exact thing as a kitchen.

General Info

Hello all. I had some cm code lying around a couple months ago, so decided to try to compile twrp for the desire. I ended up failing miserably, however what i got out of this was a decently working build of ClockworkMod touch. All credits go to Koush and the rest of cm team who worked on originally creating cwm. All i did was compile it using the latest code (at the time) and run it through the cm jenkins build server to get the touch functionality. It honestly wasnt very hard, so dont thank me too much :p Anyways, this probably wont be the most popular due to the fact that 4ext seems to be the go-to recovery for the desire, but i thought I'd share anyways rather than leaving it on my desktop for the rest of eternity. Some people might actually like it as afaik the latest available version for the desire is 5.8.0.2 (feel free to correct me if im wrong) so this is a pretty nice upgrade i guess. Enjoy :)

Bugs

-When you boot into it, you get a message saying "Warning: no file_contexts" for a couple of seconds before the recovery menu comes up. This seems to be harmless.

-Let me know if you find anything else
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Instructions

1. Setup fastboot and install these drivers.

2. Download the provided recovery.img file and put it on your desktop. Check that the md5 checksum is correct.

3. Turn your phone off. Boot it into fastboot using back button + power button, then plug it into your computer. On your phone it should now say "FASTBOOT USB".

4. Open command prompt and enter the following commands:

fastboot devices

If your phone (serial number) shows up continue. If not, it means that your drivers aren't installed correctly and your computer cannot recognize the phone. Do not continue until you are able to get fastboot devices to return the serial number of your phone.

cd Desktop

fastboot flash recovery FilenameOfRecovery.img

After the installation is finished, proceed to the next step. (it should only take a few seconds to install)

5. Unplug the phone, and go back into the bootloader. From there you can scroll down to RECOVERY, and boot into it.

Thats great :)

I think it was possible to create spare backups (or whatrver its called, it just backups changed files) with that version, right?

I will try it later [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION].

V6.0.3.5 was fine, but V6.0.4.5 was not that great, you must select options and zips with trackpad, I always felt like I'm working with amon ra recovery or rmd recovery. CWm recovery was normal, but for having more features, I prefer 4ext recovery, rmd recovery (to flash hboot and other images through recovery that is very useful) and twrp, that is very easy to use. I found a bug (I think) in V6.0.4.5 that was unable to detect and wipe sd-ext.(error: something like wrong path(sd-ext). One error that is annoying in trwp (maybe only for me) is that it hasn't the yes or no feature. For example: wifix, that when you want to flash, you don't see the option to choose yes or no. By the way, thank you chromium. Very good effort.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Hey guys, i just compiled TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it boots successfully, touch is working, and all the basic stuff seems fine. If anyone would like to help me thoroughly test it out (ie: flashing zips, wiping, nandroids, etc.) send me a PM and ill give you the image.

Both 5.8.0.2 and 6.0.4.5 touch recoveries do not recognize the SD card if cold booted or from fastboot - "can't mount /storage/sdcard0". But if booted to recovery from Android by choosing Reboot and then recovery (or adb reboot recovery), recovery can mount sd card. Why?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Im not entirely sure, but a log may help. I just tested this with my TWRP build for the desire and the problem does not seem to be occurring. Since i used the same source tree (kernel, device, vendor, rom...) for compiling both CWM and TWRP, it would lead me to believe that the issue is found within the CWM source it self (which i didnt touch) rather than the device specific stuff which i played around with.
