I don't think it was LVSW.. I really don't have a clue who did it.. But, it was a very good edit.. Expertly done.. I'd almost think there was an inside job being done by M$ just to mess with us :P

But, bottom line is that it's still a good rom..

It's like Windows.. XP is still a more stable OS than Vista is. But, Vista is newer.. Newer isn't always better...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
LVSW may have known, but he got it from mun, and from my understanding a lot knew about it just didnt care to share to the public. Gotta love when people are deceived for no reason.... just use the real kernel and release 1413 when you can rather then lie :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Folks, don't get CE Kernel and WM builds confused here...

The CE kernel 5.2.1413 is what shadowmite claims is faked on Hermes WM6 builds. The Windows Mobile build has nothing to do with this. Remember, WM6 is simply the GUI on top of CE 5. Thus the 2 build numbers.

@shadowmite:

We need to know how to reproduce your tests. You must agree that a couple of assembly language op codes that move literal to a register does not a definitive proof make.

Ideally I think that we should develop a way for chefs to test the true version of any kernel. Are you saying that a simple get major/minor version call will return the true Kernel version? If so, I can code up a test utility in about 5 minutes....

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
load the coredll.dll into IDA... have a look at the GetVersion function

Taken from htc-devs forum...

Midgets: MOVL R3, 0x585
Hermes: MOVL R3, 0x4D4

585 = 1413 decimal
4D4 = 1236 decimal
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Ok, so we simply call Coredll.dll GetVersion and convert the result. I'll code the utility up tomorrow so everyone can test their ROMs.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
Coincidently, last night i was doing exactly the same. I also noticed the same 0x4D4 :eek: and decided to compare 0505 0705 and 1905 lvsw builds to pick the best one and get my "crackberry" rolling. I did the cksum on all other XIP files and they matched between the releases. Then I matched them against JJ3.01 and lvsw came out to be using the newer XIP. Nevertheless imgfs files did change within each release and they did get more and more stable and usable.

But anyway .... let me ask you - aren't we beating the dead horse here ? ... wasn't this already talked about here . Is the build number 17913.0.3.0 or is it WM602_17741 or wm602_17736 ? Why would you care ? You know "his" release is more stable or "yours" has a nicer splash and today screen and that's what should make you and other pplz happy. Or maybe you guys still feeling sour about something ? You shouldn't be. mUn, pof, tadzio, lvsw, Sleuth255, XCSdM, bepe and many other - they do not swear, do not call people names or harras and beg for money. They do on this forum what exactly it was created for - they code, hack, learn and share. So I'd say just chill out, stop insinuating and making up drammaz and scandals ... Grow up in other words :D Oh, and please - unstick this thread and stick it to ... :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
As has been pointed out to me, there is a very good reason why some of these fakes are being produced... I've stumbled upon something accidently here, let's suffice to say you can make a test to determine what version it reports itself as yes... The only way I know beyond a doubt the 1413 hermes we have is faked is because the kernel's return did not match the string displayed...

I don't think it's possible to determine all fakes, and for that matter, some fakes might be a good thing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Unsticking. This will become a development thread. Let's get a utility or two out of this. Chef's need to know the true initial version information.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
As far as I know, there is no method to determine the base beyond a doubt, you can only prove it's a fake beyond a doubt, and only if they are careless...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
In this case, I'm assuming you mean that a call to GetVersionEx will return something different from what's displayed in settings->about

Or must we dump coredll.dll and look in the GetVersionEx function itself?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
there is no fool proof way of telling if a build has been edited if it has been edited correctally...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
In this case that would have worked... As pointed out however, now that this is known it'll be harder to find the next time around... If it's well done, it would be difficult to know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chip7777:
exactly. as Shadowmite refered to when he said; "...As far as I know, there is no method to determine the base beyond a doubt,..."

The app task would entail determining the code base for a given version kernel, and running a checksum of some sort..

(I would guess...)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
@ moisha: great post in this thread that may have gone unnoticed by everybody.

Especially your link to this thread.

Everyone outta have a good read through that link btw. Since the authors have posted there I find it acceptable to bring this into the light here as well.

Synopsis:

WM6 on different platforms has different build numbers and they are in different stages of completion at m$. The official build for Hermes devices is no higher than 1774X.0.2.X

However, Bepe and mun_rus have grafted different ROMs together to make what is currently refered to as CE 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0).

This is no fake; its actually a unique XDA base ROM produced by some of our most advanced chefs. M$ had nothing to do with this base other than to produce WM6 at various stages of completion on 3 different devices. The components making up 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0) were taken from Universal, Wizard and Hermes builds and put together to form this ROM. As Faria pointed out: we are always being watched.

This ROM is different from the rest. Its stable, fast, has a complete office 2k7 release with fixed bugs and a vastly different A2DP BT stack. Reghacks that suddenly stopped working on previous WM builds are now functional again.

This is only a fake to m$ since even they haven't produced it for Hermes yet. :)

Bepe and mun_rus are simply doing what we've always done at XDA developers: using advanced techniques to quietly produce the base for fast and stable ROMs.

Edit:

In this case, what I'm saying is that there was no deliberate fakery. Nothing was "patched" to make the version reflect the way it does. Coredll.dll was simply grafted from the current hermes WM6 build to make everything work on hermes and so GetVersionEx reflects this. There are Universal CE5.2.1413 components here too though (rumor has it that these actually are sourced in Wizard ROMs) and these are reporting in settings->about. I'm in awe.

M$ didn't produce this ROM, XDA Developers cooking in the XIP area did. Then they released it to the rest of us: the imgfs chefs.

I'm coming up to speed on XIP grafting. Bepe and mun_rus are having way too much fun here ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Actually, we're all dating an advanced Cyborg here. It appears your own ROM may have had some of its XIP origins on the Wizard.... ;)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
guys

using GetVersionEx itself isnt enough to determine the REAL kernel version, nor is the datestamp, e.g. resigning dlls?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
the signatures are not being changed by a hexedit an IDA Change

only real way is to obtain an MD5 hash of the original file to compare...

but since these arent original ROM's even before we get them there is no 'TRUE' way to tell...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simple:
Interesting thread.

However, I have installed LVSW's May 19 ROM and I can tell you this is the best yet.

Hence, If Microsoft could not fix the original ROM; kudos to those who could and let them name it whatever they like.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:

Backup your data using Titanium Backup or something app like that, and copy your backup OUT from your phone.

You can't downgrade WITHOUT wipe internal storage, because Sony implement encryption by default, as Google recommended it for used in Android 5.0.x

You can try downgrade without wipe internal data, if you don't believe what I say xD

I believe in you, But it's just hard to backup my data esp using titanium backup because im not rooted.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TesseractE:
I think your only option is to wait for a Root method for Lollipop that does not require a downgrade first so you can use Titanium again. I tried to keep Data last night when I downgraded in prep for a rootable re-upgrade, and it froze during boot. Trying again while wiping the Data partition worked flawlessly.

Honestly, unless there's something stuck in there that you absolutely can't do without, your best bet would be to just take the loss and format the Data along with your downgrade.

What are you trying to flash with Odin? Try official

And if the device actually pops up in Odin and the COM port is through then the cable and the hardware is all fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastStandingDroid:
Download a N8000 firmware which comes packed in zip

extract it and then select it with AP in odin,

flash and wait until you're done

and if it is struggling with the port try another one
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernardwu:
Download the official firmware for your model number regardless of the region (that is if you're ok with it otherwise use your own region's)

Then use the appropriate Odin version to flash the firmware to your device while in download mode. Put the Firmware file into PDA/AP.

Make sure Re:partition is not ticked otherwise your device will be bricked. (Lol it rhymes)

Make sure the cable connection is stable and don't disconnect the connection until the process of flashing is done.

Not advertising but you can find your firmware at Sammobile. It tells you which Odin version to use too. I'm not sure if Odin version matters but let's play safe.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

Today I'm going to share how to change the long press destination of any lidroid toggle, I didn't find any guide on it around so I decided to post it myself.... I'm definitely not the owner of lidroid toggles.....so let's begin

Requirements:

1. Brain

2. Patience

3. Experience

4. A SystemUI.apk with lidroid toggles

How to:

1. Decompile your SystemUI which already has lidroid

2. Go to smali/com/wanam/systemui/quickpanel

3. Now open any quicksetting button smali(open only those which don't have the $ mark, and remember that power button and shutdown are also on those which don't have the long press)

4. Now search this:

handleLongClick

5. Below them you'll gonna see the package and activity or in some smalis only the activities

Example:

1. Both package and activity:

From dormant toggle smali:

const-string v1, "com.android.settings"

const-string v2, "com.android.settings.Settings$DormantmodeSettingsActivity"

2. Only with activity from sound toggle smali:

const-string v1, "android.settings.SOUND_SETTINGS"

6. Now for those smalis which has both package and activity if you want your long press destination to any other settings page just edit the activity to anything you want,

To say it easily edit the second one:

const-string v2, "com.android.settings.Settings$DormantmodeSettingsActivity"

from

const-string v1, "com.android.settings"

const-string v2, "com.android.settings.Settings$DormantmodeSettingsActivity"

For those smalis which only have activity edit the activity just like before

7. After your editing is done as usual recompile, sign, push to system,reboot and enjoy

[SuperSU] DeanGibson:
The method I used for rooting my LG G3 (v5.0.1) installs SuperSU (2.46) as a system app. I would much prefer to have it be a regular app (as it has always been on my Android devices prior to v5.0). When I use SuperSU to clean up in preparation for "another" SU app, it removes itself and leaves behind a few files (including the su binary) in /system/xbin.

All well and good. However, after now installing SuperSU from the Google Play Store, SuperSU gives the message that there is no su binary installed, and of course refuses to work. I even tried copying su to "sux" and giving the latter 4755 privileges (while still rooted), but that didn't help.

Is this a bug in SuperSU, or is it a necessity of Android 5.x ???

ps: The XDA forum software will not let me post this as a question. Where do I post questions about SuperSU?
[SuperSU] ayushbpl10:
Sorry as I don't have a solution for your problem....

But still as far as I know Super user 2.46 is not fully compatible with android 5 & above.

On other hand I would suggest you to give a try to super user 2.49 beta which is the latest but still under development.

Hope you find this useful.

If you want to make SuperSU a user app:

If SuperSU was "updated" by the Play Store (ie there's an eu.chainfire.supersu-*.apk in /data/app), then delete /system/app/SuperSU.apk and reboot. If it's flashed *and* the afore mentioned apk is *not* in /data/app, then move /system/app/SuperSU.apk to /data/app and reboot.

[SuperSU] mmonaghan34:
If all you wanted to do was make it a user app, reroot, open supersu, go to cleanup and choose for reinstallation. After choosing that, if it says to reboot then press it again, do so, else reboot and install supersu from play. Done, supersu as a user app
[SuperSU] DeanGibson:
That doesn't work (v2.46 on LG G3 running v5.0.1). It loops trying to uninstall. After a couple minutes, I forced a reboot. SuperSU was still there, and as a system app.

Edit: The same thing happens when I tell SuperSU to completely unroot the LG G3. Since I needed to unroot in order to apply an LG/Verizon OTA update, I used LG's Flash Tool to replace the system partition (THAT removed SuperSU!), and then the OTA update was successful.

Since LG now supplies an on-phone backup/restore tool for the G3 as part of the Settings menu, I no longer need to run Titanium Backup, which means I no longer need root. Given the nuisance issues with rooting/unrooting/system updating/etc, I've decided to remain unrooted on the LG G3 for the time being. Quite a change for me, since this is the first Android device in well over a dozen for which I've made this decision.
