Rock solid mate! Thanks a lot for your work [MENTION=622680]StratOS_HTC[/MENTION] you revived this phone!!

Only one thing though: in system information it shows up still as 1.2a and not as 1.2b but maybe you intended it to be like this so whatever :)

Great ROM!

Only one "error". When I click left button (menu key) it shows recent apps, but without any background.

Where can I add background color to recent apps menu?

And notification panel (that says "The menu key has been replaced...") is not showing whole until I enter in landscape mode, so I can't click on buttons to not show it any more.

Thanks!

Help me guys

I installed this rom and 1 day it worked great and stable, after 1 day the device starts shutting down so now and then.

Around 10 times a day.

With the installation I wiped everything according the install how to, "Wipe cache,system,data and internal before installing this rom !"

Dalvik cache is not mentioned there so I did not wiped it.

Can this maybe part of the problem I encounter?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] HandigePrutser:
Tried every wipe/factory reset reinstalling rom etc etc the spontaneous reboots so now and then stayed. Was I the only one that had this problem with this rom or are there more? I went back to stock although the rom looked very nice.

Menu key? Our Core 2 have an recent apps button. Did You have core 2??
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Dampas:
ROM is memory consuming - now I have switched internal memory for card and is working somewhat better. Still need to close All apps from time to time. And there are some problems with some programs that don't recognise external and internal properly (like Bluetooth - needed to create blutooth folder manualy on "external" card).

With recent apps - I have left button, which calls Recent Apps list, but background is transparent, and I don't know why and how to change that. Can I change it in Wanam Xposed?

And you need to clear Dalvik when installing... it says somewhere.

SM-G355H (kanas3gxx) compatibility?

Hello, I am new here :)

I have an SM-G355H (kanas3gxx, and KANAS-E3 on the back of the device)

I'm got root by your method for HN.

My question is that if this firmware will work on the H model?

I applied the SDFix from NextApp, but the device still saves apps on its internal storage, even if the actual SD card is have 13GB free (total cap is 16GB), and I can't force it to move some apps with its native App2SD method, because it sits for 4 minutes with replacing it to "the SD card", and its screen eventually gets dim while the operation,then a dialog comes up:

"Cannot move the application"

I tried it with another apps, and I figured out that apps under 100 megabytes of data will have succession with moving to "the SD card".

The Stock ROM is recognizes the USB Hub as dwc_otg_hcd (reported by AIDA64), and when I connected a pendrive to it via normal OTG cable, it eventually created /sys/bus/usb/devices folder, but nothing popped up, and then I bought an OTG-Y cable, powered via external battery, and I grabbed a mouse, which is got lit up (got power), but I didn't saw a cursor.

I started experimenting with plugging my other Android-powered device, which has no OTG hardware, just a regular port, and it accepted it as "charger",and when I plugged it into GC2, it also adapted as "charger", even if I disconnected the other device.

Before the experiments, I added the android.hardware.usb.host.xml file to /system/etc/permissions/, and modified the platform.xml file.

I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 on my computer if it's matters something, and both are 64-bit.

My device's specs:

Prod.code: XEH (Carrier independent, and region "Hungary" )

CSC: G355HOXX0AOG1

PDA: G355HXXU0AOF2

Kernel:

3.10.17-5115844

dpi@SWDD3020 #2

Wed Jun 10 22:28:26 KST 2015

Build ID:

KOT49H.G355HXXU0AOF2

I will post the SW_Configuration.xml file later.

-----Edit:

I noticed that some files have "sc8830" tag in their names.

This could mean that H has SC8830 and SC7735S hardware?

This is a custom version of rom G355HNOXX0ANK1.

All things are working by default I guess, since Samsung have it's own way of storing default APN's in this ROM only 18 different auto fill APN's :

You can manualy add APN's (for mobile data only) if you are outside of those regions and want the mobile data to work without manualy adding APN's.

Thumb up for your effort.

I didn't have much free time lately but I noticed that rom support usb otg but kernel source is outdated , ext3 and ext4 are supported and rom see them but rw rights for extSdCard are disabled in ramdisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
rw access to extSdCard is fixed in platform.xml.

You cannot change it in ramdisk, couse /etc is rewritten at boot.

Any1 know how to fix default settings in /data and correct permission regarding app ?

Need to know how to check whitch app have ( or will have - newely installed ) the correct owner and group permision ( for bash ) in /data/data/

Can any1 help me ?

Have manage to create only @ first boot default settings for app, but when the phone reboots, changes the owner/group permission for the data and rewrite default - init state.

To simplyfy :

I manage to provide initial custom settings for app during first boot with update zip to write to /data/data, but with different credencials this app will have after init initialization and creation of default settings for apps @ boot.

The app rewrites all credentials after reboot - and reset files as default.

On first boot they are accepted, after reboot they are reset guess just because of the credentials ?

About otg I'm not so sure ( the modules are not integrated in kernel ), guess the samsung use extra powered OTG cable, cannot tell, didn't test it ...

Have allready provided workaraund for it that other custom OTG progs work, but cannot test it - guess it has to be the extra powered OTG cable ?

The ext3 and ext4 partitions doesn't work for me on extSdCard guess kernel doesn't support 64GB cards fully or some other mismatch ???

Have problems with recoveries and amount of space regarding on what default FS is extSdCard ( exFat or FAT32 )

Have any1 made EXTx partition on extSdCard or swap. Guess the kernel or modules doesn't support it yet, also cannot tell for sure ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, feel free to post sugestions and test resoults of this options.

CSC aren't different via different models.

It's just operator settings and APN settings for some/all mobile data carriers in desired country

Feel free to post the needed files.

The release version of rom contains only some countries, not all, so if u go abroad in country where APN's aren't specified or mobile carrier you cannot automaticaly use data roaming, U must manualy set the APN's.

Samsung have different way of doing this in our releases of GC2.

Yeah, will you cook a lollipop stock ROM for the GC2?

Anyways, thank you very much for all the work you're doing. For now, I don't wanna flash any ROM in my GC2 cause I don't know how to back up my data and I don't have much time to learn that right now. May be in the future, if you bring us a stock Lollipop ROM and there's a noticeable improvement in the phone's performance and features, I'd totally flash it. Right now I'm only interested in updating the GC2 rooted (using your method) without losing any of my data.

You can backup your stock rom via recovery like cwm.

Rooting of phone never delete data :)

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] rambomhtri:
Yeah, I know that rooting a phone does not erase any of its data. I have my GC2 rooted thanks to StratOS_HTC's method, and it did not delete my settings/apps. However, what I want to do is to update the phone, but I can't update it through OTA since my phone status has changed because of the rooting process. And my question is that how can I update my phone without using OTA and without deleting my data (like flashing a ROM or something). What should I do?

I've never backed up the data of a phone, I don't know what should I back up how it's done, and all that. So flashing a ROM is the last thing I wanna do right now. As I said, may be in the future, if he uploads a stock Lollipop ROM that has noticeable improvement in terms of performance and features, I will flash it, and first I will have to learn how to back up the whole phone.

After I fixed the status with my mega cloud and whole thing I will post the final version of my custom rom and how to preserve current CSC from default rom.

If U want to preserve your current personalization info (CSC) ( XEO PL ) preserve the CSC folder and integrate it into new zip.

Edit updater-script line symlink("/system/csc_contents","/system/csc/SIO/csc_contents");

with current linker for /system/csc_contents and everything will be OK.

Working currently on SEE edition ( South East Europe ). The customizaton is only needed for custom providers features and apps and APN's mobile data and some other minor things, nothing else.

CSC preserve

Read previous post to preserve current system CSC.

First you will have to have root access or installed custom recovery and/or made a backup copy of your /system.

Unpack my rom ( zip files ) to a new dir on your HD.

copy those files SW_Configuration.xml and CSCVersion.txt and symlinked csc_contents from /system to root of mine unpack rom in /system and overwrite existing.

Delete the whole /csc/ dir of mine unpacked rom.

copy the whole /csc/ dir from system to /system of mine unpacked rom.

Set the symlink link in \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and change it with yours symlink ( striked text) :

symlink("/system/csc_contents","[STRIKE]/system/csc/SIO/csc_contents[/STRIKE]");

Now create a updated new zip file from it and flash it. That will do the trick.

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
Unzip my rom to c:\1\

copy or pull the files from your android phone :

system\build.prop > c:\1\system\build.prop

system\CSCVersion.txt > c:\1\system\CSCVersion.txt

system\SW_Configuration.xml > x:\1\system\SW_Configuration.xml

delete the files in folder/subfolder c:\1\system\csc\

copy files in folder and subfolder

system\csc\ > c:\1\system\csc\

edit c:\1\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

line delete :

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");

edit line :

symlink("/system/csc_contents","/system/csc/SIO/csc_contents");

change to link of the file on your /system/csc_contents got to be something like /system/csc/XTC/csc_contents, check !

so change the line to linker :

symlink("/system/csc_contents","/system/csc/XTC/csc_contents");

if u have deleted the boot.img delete the line

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");

make a zip and use subfolders in c:\1\, copy to your card, boot to recovery and try to install it.

Warning :

If u want to use custom boot.img with init.d support for your model check if it's working, mine rom doesn't use any init.d script, just test one. Use your own default stock boot.img

As told the rom/apps is/are made for G355HN devices, cannot provide rom for other just because of the differences.

Hope I made clear.

Read what CSC are made for, and when U need it.

Use it at your own risk or flash stock rom.
