Stock recovery needed

Hi guys,

I'd like to go back to full stock

Does anyone have a backup of the stock recovery ?

Or does anyone who didn't flash CWM/TWRP would be so kind to dump the SOS partition ?

Thx

S.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blender3d:
Of course... just post the style of dd you need :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] groumfi:
Sure

Either thru adb (if you have the expensive cable) or thru a terminal. In both cases, you must be root to read the SOS partition

# dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Many thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blender3d:
Damn, i left the slatebook at home. I'll upload an image, once i come from work. Side note, i don't run the very last update from HP, just the last one which was able to be towelrooted.

Sorry for the disturbance

Ah okay. Just came home, realizing you solved the issue already.

Hello guys,

i hope there are still some followers there, as things are moving in the shadows.

Recovery has been updated.

It's OK I worked it out I used rashr to install the .img. Everything working great. Thankyou.

A bit late but just to clarify, locked bootloader doesn't reject to boot custom kernels :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smokeyrider:
how do you unlock bootloader without cable. I'm on Maya 4.3 ROM. I have TWRP recovery. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Juanig:
If you already have custom recovery you don't need to unlock the bootloader...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Hi guys,

sorry for staying on mute for some time.

Bad news incoming, i had to sell my tab. I'm quite broke, my wife had to take a second job.

Without spare time, without proper building rig and without the device, you can imagine that i won't be able to pursue some work on the tab.

To be honest, the dev was no as easy as we expected, even with source code released, getting it to boot was quite a nightmare.

The proprietary cable is really the thing that killed the tab, and i frankly thinkk that HP should reconsider this aspect in the future. I even mentioned that to the senior dev in charge of slatebook, at HP.

So, sorry guys, but i quit the boat.

I'll give you the actual only rom that booted, all sources are shared so everybody can take them there :

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Juanig:
Good news!!

Hello friends,

As reported in Google+ and spanish forum Htcmania there is a new rooting method that works with latest Hp build. Now everyone can root this tablet, you only have to install and execute Kingroot 4.1 (three times were needed for me until it worked) and it's done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lainol:
I came here for say the same, rooted with Kingroot 4.1 on stock 4.3. It worked the first time.

Benetnath, hope everything goes well with your situation. Thank you very much for your support with this s****y tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
good news.

things are better now. tks

Now that you're back and we have a root method I'm trying to prep and get ready to flash the rom. I can not locate file to prepare bootloader. Please help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
I never leaft :)

but without tab, i don't have things to add.

i don't get your question, prepare bootloader ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jjta:
just aquired root

I was reading through the first post about unlocking the bootloader and when I click the without cable method it redirects me to a empty post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
So currently, do you have the 4.3 or earlier version ?

Anyone tryed to boot Ubuntu on it? Need it to try to cook a ROM..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blender3d:
I tried many different approaches of chrooting different Linux distros. Kubuntu and the tegra sample filesystem (based on Ubuntu) where my most promising runs. However no matter what blocks or devices I mounted into the root I couldn't get dbus or alikes to run. If you are trying to boot a different OS you might have a talk with the op of this thread since the HP bootloader seems pretty ugly. It doesn't simply boot drop in place OSes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] utopykzebulon:
And unfortunately complete Linux installer crash on mayamod 2 :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jjta:
Yes I'm rooted on stock 4.3 I used kingroot. I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can then attempt to flash TWRP recovery (still don't know how to do this either) and finally install MayaMod rom. If anyone can walk me through this or at least get me pass unlocking the bootloader I will highly appreciate it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] utopykzebulon:
You can flash a new recovery with flashify ( on Google play ) no need to unlock the bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jjta:
No good

Tried it and I get no root with error with flashify even though I have root. I tried rashr and it appears to work but when rebooting it just boots stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jjta:
I figured something out. I swapped from kingo root to kingroot and then flashify worked thanks for the help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joseste4:
After some time the touch screen is no longer responsive. I understand this is a 4.3 issue. is there anyway to correct this? i had hoped that MAYAMOD would fix this issue but it seems as though it has made no difference not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Hi Guys.

it seems Samsung removed the option to hide applications in the app draw for the new NF4 Update.

I use this feature a lot so decided to bring it back.

its a really simple mod and shouldn't cause any problems.

ill assumed you know how to decompile etc.

OK Lets get started.

Decompile secLauncher4.apk

Navigate to SecLauncher4\smali\com\android\launcher2\Launcher.smali

Search for "sput-boolean v3, Lcom/android/launcher2/Launcher;->isSystemAppDisable:Z"

Change to "sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/launcher2/Launcher;->isSystemAppDisable:Z"

done.

Recompile and push to phone.

feel fry to add this into your roms, but please give credit :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Kamy:
Thanks for sharing mate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kikoexe:
a flashable zip could help for those who do not know how to decompile/recompile apks.. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Tbh thats not really the point of the thread. The idea is people do it themselves. Plus they can redo it when newer versions are released rather than waiting on someone to do it for them :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Crescendo Xenomorph:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Thanks mate.

Done !! ( attached )

Download, unzip

Push into system/priv-app

Replace existing

Delete seclauncher4.odex if present

Set Permissions

Restart
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] TomPiXX:
How to install?

The APK within cannot be installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Can someone upload a stock seclauncher. I will make a flashable zip for it
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] gidzdlcrz:
Here ya go mate.

*EDIT

Anyway i included the odex file. Who knows. That might come in handy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
is it a deodexed seclauncher?

sorry I should have specified.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] hinnn:
doesn't work on my N9005, thanks anyway
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Threads getting a bit confusing, I will upload a working flashable zip when I get my hands on a stock deodexed seclauncher
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
A flashable zip would work only on deodexed roms, and hence why I attached a non flashable modded one in my post.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
It not supposed to be installed like a normal apk, you have to push it into system/priv-app and replace existing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Why would a zip only work for deodexed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
In odex roms you have 2 files

Something.apk

Somerhing.odex

If you put the modded seclauncher4.apk (deodexed) in a flashable zip, that would only replace the apk keeping the old odex file (which has to be deleted someway).

So since one has to go to system priv-app to delete the odex file, why not just replace the seclauncher4.apk too to get mod.

Unless you want to odex the file again after modding it and put both apk and odex in a flashable zip ).
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Yeah i get that mate. If i was to make an odex version i would do it properly. But ill only be making a deodexed one and stating that its done for a deodexed seclauncher ;)

Or add a line to updater script that will delete the odex file first ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Ok, then just use my attached modded apk, make a flashablae zip out of it together with a script that deletes odex file ' if present'.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jazzespresso:
now, if only i can also enable "share app" feature like your screenshot, I will be golden! :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Hi mate. Without looking id assume its same procedure. Maybe take alook for a string that resembles share app and change the v register. Worth a try :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jazzespresso:
i thought the same, so did extensive search in launcher.smali, "share apps", "share"..etc, it returns nothing...i guess they removed the code permenantly, not like hide apps one which was disabled, but your method/hack did re-enable it....stupid Samsung!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Cyclops1055:
Tried using the modified launcher, I have 1 issue, I am able to hide the apps in the app drawer but they also get removed from my home screens.

Any ideas????

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Thats the whole point. Hiding them hides it everywhere. I dont think there will be a way around that
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Cyclops1055:
That's half of what I wanted, I wanted to just hide them in the app drawer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
I dont think thats possible mate. Even removing the launcher tag from the app manifest would hide it from homescrren too
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Maybe you could find an app that can create shortcut to apps and have that on homescreen? Could even theme the shortcut icon if you wanted
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] rowad1985:
thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Cyclops1055:
Good suggestion, I actually found and app that does it called "QuickShortcutMaker" works great but the icon could be a little in quality, it creates the shortcut using the same icon but the icon smooth, can complain too much since it's a free app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
awesome, glad you got it sorted, you could try theming the shortcut icon with the original icon using a VNtheme zip?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Cyclops1055:
What is VNthemezip?

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jazzespresso:
[MENTION=4382505]maskerwsk[/MENTION]

thanks for this simple hack. It turns out it is quite useful.

As you may know that, Samsung has; SecLauncher3, Secluancher4, TouchWiz, and MagazineLauncher.

In most cases, when you do search, you can find "isSystemAppDisable:Z" in Launcher.smali file.

I have one instance when I was working on SecLauncher3 (it is file name SecLauncher3_ESS), when I search "isSystemAppDisable:Z" in Launcher.smali, it returns nothing.

So obviously, this version of SecLauncher3 is quite different than normal SecLauncher3. I even search search "isSystemAppDisable:Z" in entire smali folder to see if I get any hit, but nothing again.

Now I am thinking, if they don't use "isSystemAppDisable:Z", what could be in this launcher....
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
If you want to upload the launcher.smali I could take a look for you mate?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jazzespresso:
here's it - see attached. You will find this is quite interesting. Another thing is that it is also missing "create folder" in app driver menu option.

if you have time, take a look, throw some ideas or give me some clue, so I can play around...

bunch of thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] maskerwsk:
Hey mate.

ITs ben a while since ive done any of this and without the phone it might be tough.

However I saw this line

sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/launcher2/Launcher;->sIsHomeRemoveMode:Z

maybe change to:

sput-boolean v3, Lcom/android/launcher2/Launcher;->sIsHomeRemoveMode:Z

other than that im not sure,

you could add the option in pretty easy I think.

just track all the 'isSystemAppDisable' lines from a launcher which has the option and paste them into one which doesnt
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jazzespresso:
thank you, that may help. I have been trying couple of options, so far no success, I will try your suggestion above and see if it will do trick.

You have to be careful with high capacity external batteries because a lot of shady ebay/amazon companies claim high numbers but lie about it. Or the efficiency of the battery is so low, 25000 mAh will end up being 10000 mAh after conversion :) Stay away from eBay when buying batteries, and read all the comments and number of reviews on Amazon. Some reviews could be exaggerated, but if you have hundreds of positive reviews/comments - its a good sign you are dealing with a company you can trust. Also, make sure they are offering 12-18 months warranty with a product.

For other accessories, visit a link in my signature, I reviewed hundreds of different gadgets on XDA.

[LG G Watch] Duddyroar:
I've been using the LG G Watch for a while now and I'm really loving it. However, I noticed that the music controls don't seem to work properly.

When I play a track on my Nexus 5 via Google Play, the artwork and title appear on the watch face, but pausing / playing don't work and I can't skip or go back a track, either.

As far as I can see I'm using the latest version of the Google Play Music APK and the watch is running the latest firmware. I've also tried resetting the watch and re-syncing the apps on it.

Another thing to note is that I'm running the Android L Developer Preview - not sure if that makes any difference.

Has anyone else had this issue?
[LG G Watch] marving11:
Same exact music issues here. LG G Watch, Google Music v5.6.1609P.1258283, Android L Preview, Nexus 5.
[LG G Watch] Duddyroar:
Glad I'm not the only one getting this. Google Music updated today, but the issue is still there.

Same issue for the Samsung Gear Live with Nexus 5 L preview.
[LG G Watch] Illford:
Same issue here, works on HTC one m8, but not on nexus 5 and 7 running L. I assume its a problem with the way L handles music controls in notifications.

Happens to me with Spotify, the notification shows up but the play/pause control doesn't work. Using a Gear Live with a Nexus 4 running CM 10.2.1 (Android 4.3). However, Spotify works perfectly for a friend using a GS4 running KitKat connected to a LG G watch.
[LG G Watch] thom.android:
Got mine today, running Android L preview also and having the same issue. Anyone know of a fix/update on its way perhaps?
[LG G Watch] thevoiceless:
I do know that persistent/non-cancelable notifications are not mirrored to Wear for ANY app. That's usually the type of notification used to show playback controls, but it doesn't explain why the apps that have been updated don't seem to work correctly.
[LG G Watch] grimih:
I also had this problem with L installed. I've since reflashed the stock 4.4.4 image, and they work fine.

Can anyone confirm whether this issue has been fixed in L yet?

It's one of the only things keeping me from using L on my everyday phone.
[LG G Watch] spiderflash:
It will be fixed in the full release. But the dev preview won't be updated.

I thought I was the only one. So we have to wait for the Android L official release, hopefully it won't be to long
