[HTC One SV] xandroid5.1:
I have been faffing about with S-OFF and the like in an attempt to de-brand my phone to stock HTC with root (the handset was an Orange UK CID). I've been at this for a couple of days now and have seemingly got myself stuck in a corner with the 2.0 hboot, which seems to be what's causing the problem for me - I was previously able to run the stock ICS RUU, but can't any longer.

Handset: HTC One SV LTE (model ID PL8010000)

*** UNLOCKED ***

K2_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

CID: HTC__001 (have also been in SuperCID 11111111 numerous times)

HBOOT: 2.00.0000

RADIO: 1.15.40a.00.04

OpenDSP: v9.2.0268.1214

eMMC-boot

Mar 14 2013, 22:10:43-1

OS at the moment is Viper, because that's all I can get to install. None of the OTAs work (various errors relating to parsing android-info.txt and remote access issues in fastboot). The trouble with Viper is that the radio is apparently knackered, because I can't get a signal at all, and I was on stock JB and on ICS.

If anyone can provide me with a stock ICS 1.00.0000 HBOOT, I can try the RUU again at least. OTAs don't work from there, but it'd be a start. Any other ideas would also be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot I'd already found a stock HBOOT and used it earlier, so have done that again now. Have now run RUU and am on stock HTC__001 version of ICS (K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R_Radio_0.12.40.00.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed). However, I still need help getting updated through the OTAs, of which I have 3 in .zip form:

OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R_release_308698hqk34kifwjk0g071

OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.6-2.14.401.2_release_311966gsyc11xrfb40ox3c

OTA_K2_UL_JB422_SENSE50_MR_HTC_Europe_3.11.401.1-2.14.401.6_release_338297mseg08soslxcubit

METHOD 1:

When I try to run any of the above via fastboot oem rebootRUU, it fails and says it can't parse android-info.txt. I've checked the android-info in all three files, and the CID I have on the handset is listed in there, and the model ID is correct. I have verified with fastboot getvar cid that the CID is indeed HTC__001, so I don't understand what the problem is.

METHOD 2:

I've tried re-locking the bootloader and running again, but that still fails as above.

METHOD 3:

I've also tried just flashing the firmware.zip alone, but that spits out errors relating to the checks at two early stages in the updater script:

assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid") - I'm not sure why that fails given that the CID is correct for the OTAs, but it works if I just delete this check

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "k2ul" || - again, this is the correct device I'm trying to apply the OTA to, so I don't understand the issue

Sorry about the confusion in the initial post; any help would be greatly appreciated!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Your task should basicly be the easiest today, lol.

Get back to SuperCID, flash the RUU again (if needed, the 1.0 hboot before), and then, when phone is booted into android, let it search for updates.

Download and installing should go fine, because you are stock from the RUU and have SuperCID. Do this until no updates left and you are on 4.2.2.

You can also orientate on this guide.
[HTC One SV] xandroid5.1:
Man, I am so sorry. Not only did I fix this myself, I found out what I'd done to cause the ballsup. You know how I said I was getting 0 signal on the network? When changing the CID, I had accidentally overwritten the first 4 digits of the IMEI, so it wasn't recognised as valid any more. Just re-edited mmcblk0p4 to reinsert the original IMEI and it's now getting a signal. Prior to that, I managed to flash HBOOT 1.0 and run RUU then flash the OTAs manually. Have also reflashed TWRP 2.7 and backed up so I can hopefully recover faster from any more mess I make for myself...

Having said that, when I was trying to get the OTAs actually over-the-air, it kept reporting no updates available. Do you think that's just a result of the IMEI issue or do I need to be fully S-ON and locked (as in HTCL) to get OTAs? Do I also need the stock recovery?

Thanks very much for the reply, mate. I wouldn't have been able to do this stuff without your guides and replies on this forum, as well, so I'm grateful for your help.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Well, hard to say with your OTAs, because i never had a non-working CID.

But to run the official OTAs you need for sure a stock recovery!
[HTC One SV] xandroid5.1:
The CID's fine, it's just the fact I overwrote it onto part of the IMEI... at one point I had manually edited HTC__001 into mmcblk0p4 then later rewritten it via the set cid command, which resulted in that line of the file being set to "HTC__001_001" because I'd keyed it in with the _001 overwriting the first 4 digits of my IMEI. Because I am an idiot, it would seem. :eek: Nonetheless, when I was requesting the updates OTA the CID was working fine. However, I only had stock recovery *some* of those times I tried to get OTAs, and I can't say whether the IMEI ballsup was there right from the start or not because I have no idea when I did that. I'll possibly reflash from the RUU again at some point and attempt an OTA on stock recovery with the correct IMEI, but for the time being I'm playing around with Viper because half the reason I started faffing about in the first place was that I thought some of the stock bloatware on the Orange firmware was possibly slowing down the handset (which it evidently was, since it remained slow post-fstrim) and Viper lets me strip the HTC crap out as well.

Anyway, sorry about the dimwittedness, and thanks very much for your help! :good:

Hello devs,

Can anyone port bioprotect from iphone. This app uses the touch id recognition for specific apps.

It would be great to have fingerprint for specific apps rather than using as a lock screen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Amin

It's impossible to port an app from iPhone. You'll have to wait, till' a dev invents an app which support your wished function.

Bioprotect is Cydia tweak. There three similar apps for Android:

FingerSecurity

Fingerlock (require xposed)

Fingerprint AppLock for Galaxy

First two ones are well written apps :)

Hello,

Going through the Android/Original development forums, I notice a lot of work in progress ROM/Kernels. I used to flash constantly , but those days are over.

I have an old nexus 7 2012 ( has kit kat on it, but already rooted ). Was wondering if someone could suggest a fast/stable ROM/Kernel that is specifically for the Nexus 7 ( not a ROM that is used for both phones/tablets etc ) that is close if not "FINAL".

Stock kit-kat seems slow and of course the battery life blows. Thanks for any suggestions
[Nexus 7 General] :
Standard XDA response to these questions:

Start flashing and decide for yourself. Its all opinion and taste. There's no answer to your question. ;)

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
[Nexus 7 General] bshiznit:
[MENTION=1176570]shezzy69[/MENTION] - 4.4.3 is on the horizon! May address some of your concerns.

My ROM BSZKitKat plus M-Kernel by [MENTION=2687601]Metallice[/MENTION] is what me and my daughter use on our 2012 nexus 7s. The ROM is nothing special just bone stock zipaligned and rooted (use odex for closest to stock experience). The real magic's in the kernel see his thread for recommended settings. Links:

M-Kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2168787

BSZKitKat http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533035

Also like [MENTION=4036181]kj2112[/MENTION] said there are TONS of options. My ROM is basic and is just Google's factory image with SuperSU and zipaligned. A lot of very neat compiled from source options can be found in the original development forum! Kernels too. I've tried RASTAKAT ParanoidAndroid SlimKat and CM11... keep coming back to stock much of this is just preference.
[Nexus 7 General] shezzy69:
Thanks for your reply. I didn't know about 4.4.3 coming, however, I am rooted so would I still be able to get the update legit or would I have to revert back to something else?

Also, I used to be experienced with flashing n7 no problem but am starting to get confused with all the talk of f2fs and am afraid I'll mis-match or corrupt a partion while trying to use f2fs.

The MKernal looks really nice. Which version would you suggest for 4.4.2 stock kit-kat without the f2fs support. Also, can I just install the kernal without a custom rom? Mostly just looking for speed/battery improvements over 4.4.2 stock.

Thank again :good:
[Nexus 7 General] bshiznit:
You bet! F2fs looks cool I have yet to play with it. Android uses a Linux file system for its disk partitioning called ext4 which was originally designed for disks with read heads and platters... F2fs or something similar is I'm betting its replacement by Google in the future. For now we can try it ourselves like you have been seeing but it requires:

a recovery that knows how to format a partition with the f2fs file system (custom cwm recovery available in original development forum)

a kernel with f2fs support

for f2fs on the /system partition... a rom that before it installs itself will format /system to f2fs

for f2fs on the /data userdata partition (CAUTION) a script to wipe and format /data to f2fs. if you do this backup all your files to something off the device (your PC external HDD etc)!

So yeah lots of work involved there. To start I would pick a non-f2fs ROM like mine or cm11 or paranoid android 4.1 beta or rastakat then M-Kernel a67 (Faux and francokernel are also good) and try things out. Then if you desire even more performance give f2fs a whirl.

Personally stock performs fine once I have M-Kernel all set up. Be sure to leave sufficient overhead I'd say 4.3 GB or so or you'll see huge lag.
[Nexus 7 General] shezzy69:
I highly appreciate your explanation of f2fs - I'm sure it will help others as well. I think I'll stick with non-f2fs for now. I will def give your kernel a shot. Thanks again for your time and assistance. :)
[Nexus 7 General] bshiznit:
Glad to help! Forgot to mention one reason why I love stock so much. It is the pure Google experience but when you add the XPosed Framework with the GravityBox module you can tweak the tablet however you want. Just install XPosed and then inside XPosed download that GravityBox module and you will see what I'm talking about. Here is the thread for it:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401
[Nexus 7 General] shezzy69:
I'll look into GravityBox, I've install Xposed before ( for Greenify ) but never used GravityBox before. For GravityBox..does it matter if I use deodexed or odexed? Was going to install your ROM Odex version tonight since I'm no theme creator and prefer boot speed ( is there any other difference ?) and M-kernel as well. I'll report my experiences back after I do so.
[Nexus 7 General] Pr3no:
F2FS is really not that hard. I'm not a big expert in Android, I just know how to root/install roms, and I managed to flash an F2FS ROM with no problem at all.

You just need a custom recovery like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678140

And an F2FS ROM like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678142 (or any other F2FS ROM).

In the first link there are some instructions, it's maybe 35 words, so you don't have to study it for hours, it's really easy, and I think my N7 is actually much less laggy than it was before.

If you still don't want to bother with F2FS, then try some other ROMS and kernels first, but if you're still not satisfied with the speed of your tablet, just try F2FS.
[Nexus 7 General] :
I'm on CM 11 M 5 with m-kernel test 4 and f2fs on all three partitions. It's completely stable and really fast. No lags anymore. I can only recommend it.

The SDK does send analytics back to Tooleap, but we only use them for our SDK optimization, and bug tracking. The analytics are completely anonymous.

We don't pass analytics to any third party.

Is there a way to remove the top and bottom bars?

Currently there is no way to remove the top and bottom bars, but we might add an option in the future.

License

Has the license for the release of the SDK been decided yet?

Also, +1 to the suggestion of providing a method for removing the title and bottom bars. They take up quite a bit of room if you don't need to switch between multiple popup activities.
[Android Apps and Games] Tooleap:
Hi yolan,

In terms of licensing, developers at our beta group will get all current SDK features for free, and they will remain free throughout our release. There won't be any future costs.

Thanks for the input about the top and bottom bars, we'll soon add more customization options.

First, thank you for the great tool. I have recently build a project where I could have used your SDK to save a considerable amount of time. It is very clean and appears to run very smooth. I would like to see the option to customize the UI by removing or modifying the bars in the future, but don't get me wrong, you have a great tool here and I can't wait to see what other developers create with it. :svetius:

Tooleap SDK 0.9.4 has been released!

Tooleap SDK 0.9.4 has been released!

Hello Everyone,

We have just released a new version of our SDK!

Due to the overwhelming amount of requests to try out Tooleap, we are happy to announce that Everyone can experiment with the Tooleap SDK!

Main Changes:

1. Everyone can experiment with the Tooleap SDK

Now everyone can download and experiment with the Tooleap SDK. The SDK will fully work on debug mode (while you develop your application). If you want to release apps that uses Tooleap, you will need an API key as explained next.

2. Tooleap API Key

In order to sign and release your app, you will need a Tooleap API Key. Currently, only members of our beta group and early access program can login to our site and generate their own API keys using the following link:

http://developer.tooleap.com/api-keys-management/

For more details of how to use the Tooleap API Key, head over to our preparing for release guide:

http://developer.tooleap.com/preparing-for-release/

3. Bug fixes and optimizations

Bug fix - App disappeared from recent tasks after opening the sidebar. To solve this bug, add android:taskAffinity=".tooleap" to your Tooleap Activity manifest declaration. See Activity manifest declaration here:

http://developer.tooleap.com/api-guide/#create-a-mini-app

We smoothed out some minor issues, and squeezed even more optimizations to our SDK.

To download our new SDK version (0.9.4) simply follow this link:

[Android Apps and Games] iattilagy:
What are the advantages of this over just using a view with WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE and adding it to WindowManager?
[Android Apps and Games] Tooleap:
Hi iattilagy,

Good question.

There are several advantages for using Tooleap over creating floating apps yourself:

1. Smooth UI Animations - To get a smooth movement of the floating bubble and the side screen, you need a lot more than just using a view with TYPE_PHONE.

2. Notification System - Tooleap comes with a built-in notifications system, which you can use as a replacement to standard android notifications. The user can view your app content with only a single click on the bubble, instead of two clicks (one click to open the notification drawer and another to open the notification).

3. Easier Coding - Tooleap takes just a few lines of codes to integrate. You can easily change the properties of the different floating UI components. Creating it from scratch takes a lot of work.

4. Activity Lifecycle Management - With Tooleap you can use standard Android Activities to create floating apps. This means these activities will have the standard Android lifecycle (onCreate, onPause, onResume etc...). Just using a view with TYPE_PHONE will require you to manage this lifecycle yourself.

5. Managing Multiple Floating Apps - As a user, you can't have too many apps floating around, because the smartphone screen is pretty small. Tooleap places all floating apps that uses the SDK inside the same bubble, and you can easily navigate between them. If you developed your own floating app without the Tooleap SDK, then it will disrupt other floating apps.
