Here we go, folks. This is a VERY debloated version of OEM (Android v4.4.3/EmotionUI v2.3), running SuperSU and Xposed v2.5.1. You will have to select and install your own apps for LOTS of things. Also, since it's fully deodexed, you can remove the OEM launcher, Google Keyboard, etc, if you choose...just remember to install and set up an alternative FIRST.

The bootanimation and shutdown animation have been replaced, and the new ones amuse the tar out of me.

The Bluetooth app is your hardware driver, as well, so don't uninstall it. Both of the 'phone' apps are also needed. If you want AT&Ts VVM, it's on Play, as are numerous text editors, file managers, etc.

The OEM SMS app can be removed, after setting up a replacement, but if you use Google 2 factor login, you'll need it to sign into your Google account, in order to download an alternative.

It seems bug free, other than the "Android is updating" issue mentioned in my previous post. Also, see my 23 April post (above) for notes on Xposed options.

Consider it an alpha/beta ROM. If we discover any bugs, we'll address them together, as needed.

Have fun with it!

Please support [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for his exceptional work with SuperSU. If you're able, consider upgrading to SuperSU Pro and support development!

And of course, thank [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION] for the TWRP port!

P.S.: Unzip the package. Place the folder from inside the zip into your directory with your other TWRP backups (with names like " 2016-04-30--03-27-27_Y536A1V100R001C07B258"), then use the 'restore' option in TWRP to flash. (It's not setup as a flashable zip. It was only zipped, so it could be shared.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cwassman:
I am unable to flash. Using TWRP and doing everything right. I see that the download .zip contains another folder with the files. I then tried to unzip and rezip, which also results in a fail.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
Sorry.

I should have included instructions. (I just did, via an edit.) You want that folder from inside the zip. It will be a TWRP backup, which you need to place in the directory with your other backup(s). You'll then 'restore' from the backup (NOT 'install') in order to install. (I hope that's clear enough.)

It was the easiest way to package and distribute.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cwassman:
Thank you for the quick clarification! Makes perfect sense. I hope to try this tomorrow!

Keep in mind that EmotionUI (what we have) and MIUI are to different sets of mods (theming engines) for Android.

Don't get me wrong, EmotionUI is fairly nice, out of the box. The problem, for those of us who are root/power users, is that EmotionUI causes conflicts with Xposed and other utilities we like to use, and there's no simple way to fully disable/uninstall it, since it is deeply integrated into Android.

I would suspect EmotionUI would also have conflicts with MIUI, were both present.

Attempts have been made to 'port' CM ROM to this device, but to no avail. There were too many errors generated by the kernel.

I am hoping (though not overly optimistic about the probability of success) to port a Marshmallow-based version of Resurection Remix to this device, and will certainly share my experience and results...but don't hold your breath.

I hope this helps.

I've posted a highly-modded version of OEM with SuperSU fully functional & Xposed v2.5.1 working. No truly-custom ROMs yet.

---------- Post added at 13:47 ---------- Previous post was at 13:43 ----------

I have Xposed v2.5.1 fully functional. Newer versions require disabling resource hooks. Either way, there are pros & cons. Still shooting for full functionality of Newer Xposed versions...but not looking likely.

Anybody found any recent non-eBay sources for this device, on the cheap? I missed Walmart's clearouts (under $40). Now that I'm making good progress on it, I'd love to have a new one. Mine is a little bit chewed up. LOL

Anybody else using [MENTION=7374724]mpj1978[/MENTION] 's ROM ?? Everything running smooth, but I keep getting error in Play Store when trying to update the Nova Launcher. Does not give an error number, just says "Can't Update App."

EDIT: Nevermind....I was able to update within the Nova launcher app settings, rather than with play store prompt. All good!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
Play has always gotten wonky for me, sometimes. If you continue having problems with it, I've found it runs smoothest if the updated version is 'integrated' into system. I've found Link2SD does this well (but I wouldn't install it JUST for this function). Use caution if using Titanium Backup to integrate system uodates, as it's pretty consistently made messes for me. :-/ (I know there are other options out there. Just choose wisely.)

I've also found that (if you HAVEN'T integrated the updates) uninstalling updates, and allowing it to re-update itself fixes most issues.

Another option (particularly if the issues occur after restoring from a backup) is to Remove your Google Account under Settings > Accounts, restart your your device, then open Play Store, which will prompt you to re-add your account. This process forces your device to 'check-in' with Google, and resolves many issues.

I'm glad to hear the build is working for you. Have you encountered the "Android is upgrading" dialog occuring at each reboot? (It seems to me that only certain apps trigger this, for some odd reason, and one of them (Link2SD) is SO vital to how my device is laid out.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZamZing:
Couple of questions:

I need a recommendation for a non-slip, protective, but slim case for this phone. Its back is just too slippery, but I don't want a case that makes it any thicker. Any ideas?

And does anyone know how to make the phone use ext4 formatted sd cards? A script or some cli commands would be great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cwassman:
I do get the optimizing on each reboot. Not a big deal IMO.

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

I ordered a case that should be here this week. I will eval and advise.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cwassman:
Regarding a seemingly decent case for this phone, I recently ordered and received a rugged case and glass screen protector off Ebay. Seems pretty solid. Case is the "two part, encased in rubber" type. Total cost for both was like $7.

No status bar and menu button

Hi everybody.

Yesterday I have a problem with my phone, in a burst of stupidity I moved some apps from the directory in the system to a SDcard. The result, I now don't see the status bar and the menu button is not working among other functions I used to have access to. I tried putting things back to the initial state with no success. Is there a chance that somebody have had the same problem. Gravity Box is not working too, I guess I must have moved some sensible apps in there.

Is there a way to recover a factory image?

Any help will be appreciated.

CE
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
1. For the case, try looking for a silicone cover online (Google is your friend. ;-p )

2. The best I've found for Ext4, is to have a secondary partition on SD Card, formatted to Ext4 (primary to Fat32), and use an app like Link2SD.

Huawei Y536A1 Brick Fix

Ok, after trying all the learning and experimenting, I completely bricked my A536A1. opps. It would only boot into fast boot mode and was NOT recognized by the adb devices command. It took me days to find the necessary method to unbrick, but its back. Do this if you are bricked like above.:

Download Original Factory Image from the first page of this forum or at :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B47...FaYzZ5MmM/view

Take your sd card out and attach it to your computer and unzip the files from the Original Factory Image above into a folder in the root of the sd card named dload. Thereby, this dload fold will contain two files: UPDATE.APP and update.xml

Place the sd card back into your phone and press and hold both vol keys and the power key until you get the android image and the message:

"check sd update pkg is exist make sure usb cable has been inserted usb update starting". or "check sd update pkg is exist.........checking..........".

if you get the message "check sd update pkg is exist make sure usb cable has been inserted usb update starting", then your phone cannot read the dload directory files and you will likely have to format the sd card and write the dload directory again.

if you get the "check sd update pkg is exist.........checking..........". message, the install will proceed automatically and will automatically reboot into your restored Y536A1. NOTE your phone will be restored WITH the STOCK RECOVERY.

Back in business!!:laugh:

Hello all, I have NOT abandoned work on this device. I've been quite busy with other life tasks, and I'm experiencing some fatal PC hardware issues.

I'm trying to determine whether a Windows tablet is a viable alternative, as a new PC is temporarily out of reach.

Also, as this device is no longer my 'daily driver' (recently acquired a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon version)), I hope to be more aggressive in my efforts on the Y536A1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stretto:
Thanks for the work! I'm about to install your rom(hopefully your a good guy ;). Would be really cool to get a custom mod for this, but I guess that is a long shot. The worst thing about the phone is the locked apps and little internal memory(Always near the internal limit). Hopefully your mod should do the trick.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
Bluetooth is NOT working on that image. It may or may not be a big deal to you. Otherwise, as long as you don't mind the slow startups, it works quite well. Link2SD is also a big help on this device, but you need to create an ext4 partition on your hard drive.

If you invest some time and some tech knowledge, you can stretch the device well-beyond its normal limits.

Incoming Data / Push notifications issue...

I am having an issue with the phone where I do not receive any push notifications, from any app. I also cannot receive any incoming google voice calls.

The phone is set up to use

wi-fi only

, and I have checked the following:

1. Wifi connection is solid

2. Google account sync is on for apps

3. Wifi is set to NOT go off when device screen off

4. Have tried wiping cache and data for play services

5. Have removed and reinstalled my google account

Otherwise, everything on the phone works fine. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Fun Times on Root

Hi Everyone,

I've had a pretty good time with root on this device, but the home capacitive button is not functioning (lights up but nothing more). Installed an on-screen version which allows me to access "home", but I find this annoying and want to fix. I own the US version of the phone, so I may have installed the wrong firmware, kernel, etc. Can someone post the link to a build I can flash to fix the issue?

Thanks,

Amazing Battery!!!

Ok, I fully charged my phone yesterday. I have used it moderately. A few Youtube vids, Candy crush type games. Lot's of speed tests in various parts of my area, and email/play store downloads, etc. Screen at 60% brightness. Wifi and LTE time split pretty evenly during the time period.

Here is the status as of right now:

48% - Not Charging

21h 33m 36s on battery.

Wow, just wow!!!!

Nope. I had the extended battery from day one. That's the only battery that I used, I had the one that came with it which was useless. I still have that old Beast, other than the screen being slightly cracked it still works but lags a lot, 512mb of ram will do that

I'm coming from the nexus 4 and the battery life of this phone is my favorite part of this phone. I also like the wifi reception a lot. I can pick up signals none of my other previous devices can. This phone also uses faster memory so it was often times more responsive than the nexus 4. My biggest critiques is the poor screen. Resolution is too low and the black levels are terrible. The LG f60 that I got for the same price has a much more vibrant screen at a similar resolution. The other thing I don't like Is the aspect ratio of the screen. The nexus 4 was much easier and natural to type on. I have to hit the backspace to correct my input on this phone constantly slowing the speed I can type in. But for 40 bucks on black Friday, nothing beats it.

I honestly don't know how I managed to do it but I accidently deleted the screen lock app. Now I don't really care about not having a lock screen. But I think my home button stopped functioning when I deleted that app lol. So if anyone could upload it, I'd be super grateful.

No. In fact, it was literally the first thing I tried after the rooted img was flashed.

What are the build.prop tweaks?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
they were mentioned in the thread. Like I said it enables just fine but there's no data transfer and there should be even if there isn't a device connected to it now I am using straight talk

[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDubTrey:
What kind of device did you try to tether? I doubt it matters but I'm not quite sure if this is ad-hoc or infrastructure.

My app didn't show any data transmission until I actually went to cnn.com on the ipad.
