Jerbear's EX Kernel Manager Tweaks

Jerbear,

Thanks for pointing me to social design concepts root method. I was able to get root on another ASUS(Intel) tablet, the Me170. And thanks to social design concepts for the root method. I look forward to rooting the me176 tablets when I get home from work. I can't wait to try your EX tweaks. After that, I will attempt to unlock the bootloader/TWRP after that. I appreciate you all!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
can you aproximate when the cm will be released?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I'll release a build when it boots. Right now it doesn't boot at all.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
wishing good luck to you,good to hear that the work on it still goes on....:)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
does anyone know how to change color and design of system toggle buttons and switches? i need it for some apps im themeing
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Nexive:
It's nice to hear that there is still a rom development for our device! :D

It feels like a early christmas present to me.[emoji14]

Sent from my MeMO Pad 7
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
on kitkat i use the xposed module holothemer to change the background of the systems settings and the xposed module android theme engine to change the switches and buttons.on lp no idea.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
im not talking about modules, im talking about decompiling the apks and finding where i can change the color of the switches and design..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
framework-res.apk is a good place to start
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
the asus version of the framework-res.apk seems to be different to the standard ones used by other devices.the internal foldernames differ and also the standard filenames for the background pictures in some cases(resolutions).maybe the tool TickleMyAndroid could help you if i remember it right you can download it in the theming section on xda i think it uses adb and stuff to work...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Finally rebooted after 117 days...

Just for closure, wanted to post that I finally rebooted my tablet today, meaning it was up for 117 days.

And it turns out I didn't need to... I thought it was garfed up because it wouldn't play any ads on Bad Piggies even after I reset the Wi-Fi, etc. But after reboot it still wouldn't load video ads. When I got to work, it started playing them again, so not sure what is up with that...

Anyway, 117 days isn't too bad. We'll see how long it lasts this time!

Thanks,

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
can i have some help on a device i have that has an intel cpu and full UEFI and unlocked bootloader + TWRP 3.0.2? i have all that and i cant seem to flash root if it flashes and i reboot device it never reaches boot animation.. i also flashed a boot.img that has an edited build.prop that makes it unsecure.. what can i do? i also tried manually pulling the su file to /system/bin using terminal emulator on twrp, it does work but when i go to android it asks me to update su binaries but it can never update them i also have tried dozens of rooting apps they all failed adb root does not work either... im running out of ideas..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
If I had to guess the issue is the boot.img. I had similar symptoms when I was trying to get Magisk on my tablet.

On another subject... just a quick CyanogenMod update... we're so close!

It gets to the boot animation, but hangs and reboots itself when it gets to "optimizing apps"

You can go to http://github.com/android4intel-dev/android_device_asus_K013 to track progress, or even attempt a build of your own. Don't expect much, though- again, it doesn't fully boot yet. Remember this is CyanogenMod 12.1, so you'll need to sync that version if you want to try building it yourself. You'll also want to pull the common baytrail tree from http://github.com/android4intel-dev as the K013 device tree (and all other trees on android4intel-dev) depend on it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
how could it be the boot.img? without adding modifications to system and just having the unsecured boot it boots perfectly normally, but if i flash supersu it either never boots to bootanimation or stays bootlooped (depends if i install on terminal emulator or flash on zip)...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Odd. I don't really know the answer to this one.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Can you link the superuser zip your using?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
So is it only the testing version that fails to boot? What about the stable release?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
all of them dont boot, beta or stable.. only time it boots is when i push and set permissions to files manually
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
And the installer doesn't fail? Also make sure that twrp isn't set to not modify the system partition. I've had a couple of issues flashing things in twrp 3.2 that were related to poorly designed updater-scripts that tried to mount by block device instead of mount point. Also could be an issue with twrp I noticed some times it symlinks the by-name correct and sometimes it links it to bootdevice, I'll check the twrp sources to see if they updated much since 7.1 source dropped as with the 6.0 and 7.0 base they were still working on some backwards compatibility things with older android bases. Try flashing in the tethered recovery.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
tethered recovery does not work on my device, even with bootloader unlocked it doesnt boot.. Also, its set to modify, and installer completes with no errors.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
I forget what device do you have?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
acer predator 8, Android 5.1, secure boot ON, bootloader unlocked, UEFI v.1.08
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Yeah cherry trail wasn't supported by the tethered you probably best to ask the person who built the recovery about your issue, I only had access to a Sofia x3 not an x5 or x7 so I never got into playing with it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
about the recovery, it was me who ported, i used the ramdisk you had for the automatic twrp installer, made some modifications added sbin files and everything, it works almost with no bugs, its not a twrp issue since i made a flashable stock zip and it flashed and booted with no issues..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Hmm, when it doesn't boot does restoring just the boot or to you have to restore system too? Need to see recovery.log
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
only system needs to be restored, recovery log: http://pastebin.com/aDyE2c9N
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
You need systemless root, if I remember correctly when I reviewed this devices firmware dm-verity is enabled Intel was ahead of the curve on that. You can't make any modifications to the system partition, I don't think the superuser installer supports systemless root below 6.0

I think dm-verity can be disabled via an adb command on some Intel devices but I have to look it up.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
just looked it up and apparently it cant be disabled on user builds..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Well you can look at the update_binary for superuser and modify it your self to do systemless,
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
im going to try this first: http://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
the binaries are confusing and have no idea where to start, can you do it? i tried changing but still goes into system mode and adds files to system..

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

That means your using a custom kernel? can i have the boot.img i have an idea for rom porting that might work ☺
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
I'll try to take a look at it probably wont get to it till tmrw night though.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
its ok, im just glad that there might be a chance of rooting this device
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
so you don't need to modify the superuser installer after all, systemless install can be forced by overrides tested on my Lenovo TAB S8-50F running Android-5.0.2

From adb shell while in TWRP

touch /cache/.supersu
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /cache/.supersu

This View attachment SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip is the version i tested with. Please let me know if it works.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
I get this error..

[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Post the recovery and the install log so I can see where the error is better
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:

TWRP 3.0.2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxzG5iupOOSKNk0waGZvTFl6eGs

This recovery is using part of the ramdisk of your twrp installer, with teclast x98 sbin files, and some stock files from stock recovery.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
WHile i look into it some more can you try this:

echo PERMISSIVE=false >> /cache/.supersu
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
still fails on patching selinux
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Well I'm out of time this morning but I'll look into it again later.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
ok thanks
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
No, the preliminary builds are using the stock kernel directly, we're not even building from source yet.

This is additionally why we're building CyanogenMod 12.1 and not something newer, as Android 6.0 onwards would need some significant kernel modifications.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Can you PM me the link to the logcat I'm not at home and want to look it over.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
have you looked into it?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Can you send me your boot.img so I can use it for testing?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKc3lZUmVybTFCc3c/view?usp=drivesdk
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
have you found anything? i found something that could help me changing selinux from enforcing to permissive, the kernel source code is on acer support website, but i dont have a 64bit machine to build it.. if i change selinux to permissive maybe the systemless doesnt need the sepolicy editing and doesnt matter if it cant edit the sepolicy in boot.img
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
No haven't had a chance, hope to look at it tonight.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
can you help me with something else too? from the twrp i ported, with the ramdisk of ur twrp modifier, and several files from several devices, its almost with no bugs, but it has one really annoying bug, backup works, but the backup goes into for example /sdcard/twrp/BACKUPS/21533453323/backuphere if i reboot then twrp starts looking for the backups somewhere else! example: /sdcard/twrp/BACKUPS/8426386482/ instead of the previous one, it keeps changing the /4324324234/ every reboot which makes me have to change the backup files from one folder to another, ive searched everywhere where to fix and cant find it.. do you know how to fix? and also, flashing img doesnt work, it just says its not a directory, it doesnt act like an .img
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Relink your tarp for me, sounds like what ever sets the devices serial number is missing our not working does the output of adb devices change?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
adb drivers also reinstall everytime it reboots to recovery.. and the adb devices name change everytime it reboots too

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Rooted the device! Flashed SuperSU 2.46 and it booted, i followed a method of another tablet with same CPU the teclast x98 pro
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Out of curiosity could you link the method.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i actually saw several methods, but the one that worked for me was the one on page 2, it seems like it only needed an older supersu...

Someone on the forum 4PDA is porting Remix OS to our tablet, maybe someone can help him.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Nexive:
Has someone a black overlay for settings? I don't like the white ZenUI interface. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i had been working on an aosp settings like i could easily change the background to black, but still gotta test, and see if i actually have the file since i havent modified the settings in quite a while, also its settings.apk not an overlay
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Nexive:
A white aosp settings would also be awesome!

Doesn't need to be black if it is aosp :D
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i was trying aosp, but cant find where the switches customizations are, including how to change the color of the switches...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
Hi,

what about increasing performance with this mod?Will it work on our device?

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-ultimate-performence-blazing-fast-t3482317
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
you can try if it doesnt work just restore back to stock

This mod doesn't support the x86 devices.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xXSantyXx:
Hey guys. I got this tablet but i'm having some problems with performance. i have the latest OTA update with android 5.0 and sometimes the things get a bit laggy. I've unninstalled all that i don't need and i have the device almost like default. How can i root this tablet? I've tried with Kingo Root, RootZenFone without success. Is there any good custom rom? If not, which one is the best from the official versions?

Thanks a lot.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
My device is running well with kk so i don't need it but maybe the people who are using lp but if it doesn't supports x86 .......:( it's useless.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
honestly this tablet in my opinion is old and slow, im now using the Acer Predator 8.. 2GB of ram, Intel cpu, 4 audio speakers whichis amazing for movies/gaming/music the other tab is ptetty much paperweight now..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
i use this tablet just for checking mails and searching the web sometimes to play cards.i also own a win tab with 2gig ram and intel quadcore but win10 eats a lot of memory,with android it would run pretty fast i guess but even with uefi it won't run android x86,have to wait until the developement is far enough to support my device.

have a nice christmass:)

Android-7.1.1 / CM-14.1 Still a long way to go:

[MENTION=5479482]jerbear294[/MENTION]

Baytrail 3.10 kernel booting Android-7.1.1 / CM-14.1 Still a long way to go:

But I think continuing the work on this be better than a cm-12.1
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
So that's why I haven't heard anything about 12.1 recently! :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Yeah, now just need to find a kernel config for the ME176C/X so we can get a build done to test, applying the ME176C/X device specific parts should be fairly trivial and the same shims should work for most baytrail with the 5.x.x blobs, camera shims will probably need device specific work but it's officially possible to boot android-7.1.1 on legacy baytrail.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bryandroid98:
So the ROM it's all most complete?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
It's far from ready for any kind of release but i'm working on getting what i have up probably by the weekend so people can build and help fix things. I need to locate a kernel config for the ME176C/X.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Sorry to say but cyanogen ended all services...

https://www.google.pt/amp/indianexp...on-december-31/lite/?client=ms-android-google
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
I know already sync'd against LineageOS sources.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Oh ok
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Yeah I been following the news about CyanogenMod since it was announced they hadn't made the manifest live until last night, knowing how destructive the sync would be I figured it best to sync before doing anymore work on it. Now just need to commit, cleanup and rebase my device trees before I push what I currently have to GitHub.

Fixed my mtp / mtp,adb issue but for some reason the kernel refuses to load modules even though they are signed need to figure it out but really should be moving to AOSP spec and building the required modules in the kernel instead of external.

Still in need of a kernel config for this device if anyone has one they were working on or can go through the Asus kernel sources to see if they can find one.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
My computer is coming this week, i was wondering if its possible to make CM12.1 (or better) with just kernel source code? its for my other tablet that has the source code but i still have to look into how to properly make a build from source.. i dont even know what linux distribution i should use.. even getting a link to a tutorial that could work would be much appreciated.. Since all tutorials on how to build from source are old and outdated..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
If you leave out the Sony specific stuff the Sony Android 7 build guild is a good read for initial build system setup. There is some additional steps needed to get jack to work properly. With CyanogenMod dead in the water you might as well work towards cm-13.0 / cm-14.1 I don't expect we'll see any future fixes coming to the cm-12.1 branches.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
alright thanks, ill be looking into cm14 and watch more tutorials..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] marky310:
I was hoping someone could help me. I have an ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME176CX on the latest update and I tried rooting with the method on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096

and now the tablet gets stuck on the Asus loading screen when I boot. I can boot into fastboot and recovery. I'm 99% sure I messed up somewhere. How can I get it working again? :D
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
I also was on .161, rooted, and had removed some ASUS-installed apps.

I tried the .182 update yesterday and got the "Error!" message and the system rebooted into .161. Now a manual check for system update says I already have the latest. Root remained. My guess on the 50/50 root staying for folks could be related to the removal of system apps. Has anyone had root stay when updating from .161 to .182 after having removed some ASUS-installed system apps on .161?

I did not try to do a full reset or re-install of stock .161, and it sounds like that doesn't really help anyway. :mad: At this point, I guess I need to wait for some alternate method of forcing .182 to install, or just wait until we can install custom ROMs entirely.

Tablet runs fine currently, but it sounds like .182 has some cool new features (not sure how much I would use, but bug fixes are always nice!).

I'll keep an eye on this thread, as always!

Thanks,

sutekh137
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:
Got the same yesterday. Error when updated. Now I'm also on 161 (And says that I'm updated)

So I'm going to be like this for a while.

On asus support there's no WW 182 rom. So... I think that WW devices should not get the update for now.

I have a ME176C
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
I may be mistaken, but I believe this update was not meant for the WW version of this ROM. Only the Chinese version.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:
That's also my thought.

That's why it get error on mine. Don't know why others could get updated.

On the asus site... There's nothing for my firmware. (ww).

Also... On another topic in xda, users lost root after. So...

I prefer like this. Eheh
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
I'm on WW and I updated without any problems, BUT : I didn't have any root and therefore, I also didn't delete any pre-installed applications. I think It's either the root or the fact that you deleted the applications that caused this problem. I have a similar problem on my HTC Desire 310 ... because things aren't how they were when it was out of the box, I can't update it, it gives me error when I try to do so. Most probably it's the same thing here as well.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
When updated to .181 a lot of bloat was disabled on my device and the update was successful, I think if I have loosed root it's (maybe?) because rootzenphone was disabled (not supersu), I don't know.

I cant downgrade it sucks ! I need to wait new method to root now :/
[MeMO Pad 7 General] wbc1228:
I'm glad I'm the other way around (have root, can't upgrade).

Would be nice to have both though.........
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
Almost always when a manufacturer does an update, they close whatever exploit that was used to gain root access.

Somebody will find a new one though, Be patient. Now that I know root is lost I wont update until the update is rooted.

Sorry you found out the hard way, but you may have saved a few from losing root,(like me) that haven't yet updated.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] salekojot:
For guys how get error on update and have 161 version, look at kernel version.

On my tablet I have root and newer version software and kernel.

My tablet is k13 with ww region, I think that is me176c, with 2MP camera on back and 0,3 mp camera on front side.

When I root my devices, first I install titanium backup. Then backup all apps and system settings. I keep on apps on tablet. It have enough space for them.

In newer version of ZenUI launcher you can hide apps from view, and after I have keep all bloatware, this device is really fast!

I don't care for loot of " bloatware", because every update is on my tablet with no problem! If someone need backup of preinstalled Asus apps on titanium backup, then I can upload via Dropbox and send link on pm.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
A good rule of thumb is "if it exists, there's an exploit in it." Someone'll find one eventually.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:
Your version is ME176CX...

ME176C have better cameras and 16Gb storage.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] siksy:
Just a little correction. .There are two versions of ME176C (with 8gb and 16gb) but both have 2 and 5 mpix camera. ..(mine has 8gb)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
my CX have 16gb and 2M camera I think the difference is somewhere else
[MeMO Pad 7 General] siksy:
As far as I know the only difference is camera. So if that's correct your model isn't me176cx but me176c

Best buy'll do that? That's nice to know, but I've already got a hundred dollars in Amazon cash sitting in my account.

The only problem I see with this tablet is the new update/root/wifi issues and the fact that GLTools won't support it- no Half-Life 2 on here for me.

Other than that this'll be great. I used a demo model at Best Buy and it's impressive- x86 Android running incredibly smoothly.
