[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Player-J:
Did you mount the system as r/w before making changes to the file? Otherwise, the changes won't stick. I use Script Manager to mount the system as r/w - edit the file- save- remount the system as r/o- exit and done. This always works for me. Also,there are a couple of good threads on here about remapping keys and alt layouts, there might be an answer there. I don't think being s-on or s-off has anything to do with your problem - I'm pretty sure that is an HTC thing and doesn't apply to Samsung devices. Perhaps your experience is already past this but I wanted to to try. Sorry, I can't be more help than that. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pantherz:
OMG sorry I didnt see this!! Thanks for the reply!!! I could download Manager Script right now but how do you mount as r/w with script manager?? also can I mount the system as r/w with other programs such as "root explorer" or ES File Explorer?? I wouldn't even know how to remount the system as r/o after im done since this the first time im doing anything like this :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Player-J:
Open Script Manager - select Browse as Root - choose "Always" when prompted. Next, press your Menu key - this will pop up a menu of options - choose Advanced - this will give you more selections - choose mount system as r/w - exit by pressing your Home button (leaving script manager running in the background. Now any changes you want to make can be written to the system. When done go through the options again to remount the system as r/o. This app also has a built-in text editor, so you can make and save changes from within.

Root Explorer and ES can do some of these things. I use ES to manage files sometimes but I'm not really sure about mounting and re-mounting the system. Script Manager for sure can do all this. Another option is to use terminal, either on a computer or an app on the phone. Here's a link to a guide.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Guide:Using_the_Terminal

Hope this solves your problem. Even if it doesn't these are still good things to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pantherz:
Ok so these are the steps I took exactly:

*Opened the Script Manager and gave it superuser permissions

* Selected the menu button and selected advanced

*selected the option that says "Mount/system as FW"

*then I went into Device>System>usr>keylayout>sec_keypad.kl in Script Manager

*Then I selected "text." But when I did that a screen popped up that read:

"you only have read permission with this file. do you want to create a local copy and edit it or open file directly"

*Then I selected "create copy" and when I did that a small Notification popped up that read:

"File RW permission denied, using a copy"

I don't know if you are getting the same notifications or screen popups as well but from what Im understand is that these popups are not good and its basically telling me that something went wrong during the mounting process. Any suggestion??

P.S. I also have a video of the steps if you would like to see
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Player-J:
You were doing fine up until the point you selected to "create copy". At this point, you want to "open directly" so that you can edit the file. When you are done, save and your changes should stick. It would be wise to back up the original file somewhere. In case something goes wrong, you can always delete your mistake and put the original back in place.

Helllooo guys,

I tried to port it but failed miserably. My N5 was stuck in Bootloop and i had to reflash factory image to get it up again..

Second port with libandroid_runtime.so libandroid_servers.so libmedia_jni.so didnt soft brick my N5 but still Bootloop.

I used this guide here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908008

I had a problem with Step 10 tho because there was no set perm ? i used set metadata as id looked same LOL

Maybe you can solve this ?

I really would like to have not only the look (I know there is a Theme for CM11 New Theme Engine) but the also the feel like lockscreen and stuff like that.

I will upload my port and post it later :)

Edit: HERE IT IS lol http://d-h.st/uIZ

greets

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TekGadgt:
I attempted to port this as well. Everything went smoothly except that it would continue the bootanimation forever, not really a loop because the device never really stopped the first boot attempt, restarted, and tried again, it just never managed to boot properly. I also had issues getting a logcat started in recovery to monitor everything, so I'm not sure of we had the same boot issue, but it doesn't seem to far out to assume we did. If anyone knows a way we can attempt to fix this issue, that would be great.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainbowsixpro1:
Haha what a coincidence i had the same issue with my first build and btw thanks for answering i was getting crazy :D

Ah i tried to make a logcat too but Nexus Toolkit crashed the first time and didnt to anything for 2 hrs the second time

I think my second build was close to working because i didnt destroy my filesystem ? (my device was emtpy after flashing the first build without libs mentioned in the first post.

Well if there is any dev who can help us with the UPDATER-SCRIPT i would be really thankful and maybe donate a little bit if we get it to work :)

thx and greetings,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
on Samsung devices, all I have to do is flash TWRP recovery using Odin, and then go to recovery and it has the option to root the device for me.

On nexus 4, I have to ready a whole thread using root toolkit and something like that.

why is it so difficult to root nexus 4?

Are all nexus device this annoying to root?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
You can use a million kits on any device, doesnt change the fact there's only a few real steps:

unlock the bootloader

boot a custom recovery

flash a superuser zip

If you want, you could make using odin require 47 different toolkits to get the same thing accomplished.

Rooting nexii is about as easy as it gets, but sometimes you just want to make things more complicated.

If anything I'd say samsungs are harder to root since you have to use odin, it's samsung specific.

Fastboot isn't device specific, it's just that some companies like samsung intentionally remove/disable it on their devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It's very easy to root the n4

Unlock the bootloader

Fastboot flash the twrp image file

Flash super su zip in twrp

That's it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
stop looking at root toolkits. they make it sound like they make

e it easier, but many times its not the case.

the right way to root a nexus, any nexus. its easy. in a nutshell..

1. connect your device to fastboot and type.. fastboot oem unlock

thatll unlock your bootloader.

2. now with fastboot, flash a custom recovery.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

3. now using your new custom recovery, flash the latest SuperSU and reboot.

4. root(profit) :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bielech_ma:
I'm new to these forums and new to rooting Android devices, but upon rooting my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 using geohot's method, my Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 disconnects when accepting or placing calls. It seems that it drops the phone audio connection while still retaining the data connection. I am able to still receive notifications on the device but I am unable to use the device as a Bluetooth headset. The only way I am able to recover from this issue is to perform a factory restore, which I can only assume unroots the phone in the process.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Has anyone else been able to fix this? I can provide more information if requested, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Questions&Answers

Q: Does this work?

A: Yes, it does

Q: Will it work on my phone?

A: no. it will blast into pieces. jk.

Yes, it should. The main reason that partitions are dynamically resized, is to avoid having to create tailor-made hex values for every type of NAND device that different picos have.

Q: why the name awesom3?

A: A couple of reasons, actually. I was using the awesome D.E. in my distro a few days before I wrote this patch. I liked that UI, mainly because it was cluster-free, and the maximum available space was always used.

Another, was a couple of twn_oc_helper scripts which I had written before this. I had decided to get rid of the scripts, once and for all, due to various reasons (you can read them here), and the working dir for those scripts was named awesom3. The name just stuck by, and voila!

it's working.

great work for this one [MENTION=4869275]thewisenerd[/MENTION]. :good:

i'm really excited for this aw3som3.

btw. what if we completely get the whole mtdblock5? we'll get a great space for /system.

it's time to use sd-ext completely.

will you please tell me step by step procedure i am noob and don't know how to do all this stuff

I am currently using CM11 weekly 4 TWRP 2.7 recovery
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
the recovery has been resized, hopefully. get another beta here: http://www.solidfiles.com/d/e6d39a02c4/recovery.img

hopefully, we're just a few commits away from a complete partition table rewrite... I've decided to move devlog to the beginning, then, a 4 mB cache (you shouldn't need more), and the rest for the /system partition. What about /data? sd-ext becomes /data partition by default. I posted a poll on the FB group and most of the people are clearly fed up with internal memory being very low hence, already using sd-ext by default, why "waste" the data partition?

This would stay in beta till some more time.

a new build of twrp should be out any time soon... the kernel, slimmered down to 1.8 mB without affecting actual functionality, *and* adding back support for ext2/3 and exfat and ntfs.

the recovery's size has been slimmered too, by modifying its ramdisk compression. you might not be much interested in all that, but you should see the change in recovery size from this build itself.

and finally, here's the boot.img: http://d-h.st/5jK

proof that it works (otherwise which no one's going to download anyways):

as we are going to use complete /data partition + some moar of cache partition, 112 +

use

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2816087

as your image link... that should fix image not showing.

Its for this very reason that I wrote this patch. Users don't have to do anything, except what's written in OP.

This is out of beta now, (read: stable), and can be used.

For others: I'll be shifting to a "no userdata", "4 mB cache", and all for "system" policy soon. Hopefully, you can revert back those commits if you don't need. As a user, 150 mB has never been adequate since I had used 40int2ext, and so, I'll be making sd-ext for /data as default.

This would also involve refactoring the entire table, I've decided to move devlog a few places ahead and order it as boot:devlog:cache:system, which should, technically, make stuff easier (for me) if done in the kernel side.

Don't want that? Revert back those commits, simple as that.

p.s. after thinking about this for sometime, this would also involve editing fstabs, recoveries, etc, etc, so, we'll rather stick to the current partitioning, i.e. mtdblock3/4/5, and keep it as 1 mB userdata, rather than no userdata, so that all the mess of having to edit other stuff would be minimised.

welcome working pa's micro modular gapps (soon), which takes up about 135 mB of /system partition, which should fit, after we bring in some more space from userdata partition.

I tried and so far so good with cm weekly 5 :laugh: I flashed latest cody kernel by the way

the thing is how can I increase internal memory cus only system increased? do I need to add a partition again so that makes 4: fat32, sd-data, sd-cache and sd-ext :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
nah, fat32, and sd-data would do :)

Its really messed up (all the "extra" partitions), considering we don't need to worry about the /cache partition.

The only partitions you need are a fat32 partition, and *one* ext2/3 partitions. Any more partitions, your headaches.

Also, I would suggest that mmcblk0p2 is directly mounted as /data, instead of using any scripts :angel:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] theBstep:
hahaha okay :D as a matter of fact I followed your instructions to partition without card reader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532212 which is really helpful

Then why internal memory is still display 125-130mb around.....sorry, but plz clear that I'm confused... Do I need to enable int2ext script(I know u denied)? Then why it displays around 125 mb or I can able to install as many app I want but it display like that.......

Now all i can say is flash CWM recovery via fastboot.. GO in bootloader mode.. Then select fastboot..

I hope you know it how to go in fastboot mode.. After going in bootloader mode.. you should select fastboot.. You should see fastboot in red..

Now put the recovery.img were you have fastboot drivers..

Type :

Now you need superwipe you can get that in weekly thread.. As you are not able to remove memory card and all..

Go in mounts and storage.. Select mount USB storage.. Copy the superwipe in your card..

Go in recovery.. Install zip from sd card.. Select superwipe.. Now try the procedure given in thread..
