Ahh, a question I have been meaning to ask. I have had no problem creating a virtual ROM from my stock, the video showed how to do that nicely. What I would like is for someone to post a step-by-step how-to or a really good video on exactly how to take a ROM, such as TMS5 or Alliance or Twisted, and load it as a virtual ROM. I believe at this point they all need a small bit of tweaking, but once that is done perhaps the devs will post some good instructions.

So " supports Selinux permissive mode' :

Does this mean that theoretically I can flash a lollipop rom to the sd of a g900a using this and get Viper4Android finally working on a 5.0 rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Nope, ive tried it

Cant, need to be on lollipop, wont let you cross run different android versions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DTR204:
not to jack the thread but I'm really curious, can you elaborate a bit for me?

did you try the usual... Selinux more changer apk, compatibility mode on viper etc...

does viper just not have an effect, does the driver not stick, does the app fc?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ya, i flipped back and forth in the changer, compatibilty mode, everything. I have the buildprop changes, the dev mode changes, i have soundalive frozen, but i get this every time

I have to set it to compatible mode with the (non working) driver installed or a lot of things will crash when they play audio.

i'm using edhaas's fully loaded rom and it has psshutxp included in the rom. i found a skin that i would like to use and would like to know where the files are that i need to replace and what they are called?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] moto211:
can anyone please help me? i have everything else on my mda customized and i would really like to skin that program too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Madcap180:
Use Wisbar Advanced to skin psshutxp ... I don't know where to save them too or I would do it too, I have a couple nice ones, but don't know where to save them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Madcap180:
So does anyone know where we save the psshutxp skins?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] newbie2:
After the initial install of psShutXP, create a folder on your storage card called "psShutXP Skins" Download your skin file folders to there.

When you want to change the skin, open the file folder of the skin you want to use. Copy and paste those files into the \Program Files\psShutXP folder and soft reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Madcap180:
Thanks Newbie! always a fountain of info you are.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] newbie2:

ha! I am having a problem though, I did like you said, installed pSShutXP, copied the skins I want into the programs/psshutxp folder.. but they don't show up, it still uses the default skin.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Hi, Copy the skin into the \windows directory and it will work.

Best wishes,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Madcap180:
Nope, that didn't work either... I don't get it.. these are QVGA skins for PSSHUTXP ..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
I just copied the files psshutxp_skin.gif and psshutxp_skin_eng.gif from the following .zip (from their site) into the windows directory, and the new skin was applied automatically. You could try a soft-reset, but I didn't need it in my case.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Madcap180:
See, that one worked.. but the Alienware one I have didn't work even if I renamed them the same thing.. I tap on the alienware one and I can see it when it open, but PSSHUTXP wont apply it for some reason
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Sounds like a problem with the skin. Might let them know...

Can't wait to try this out....ordering a 64 GB SD card this weekend since my 32 only has a couple gigs left....will be loading this up once it gets here!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AnarchoXen:
Just did the same thing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Ok backed up everything from my sdcard. Since its a 64 GB and it only actually has 59.62 GB I partitioned a 44 gb FAT32 Primary partition for my things and a 15.62 GB EXT4 Primary Partition for multisystem, roms and backups. Which could even be too much but it could make it easier for me to test multiple roms I'm working on so I'll go with that.

I left TMS5 1.0 that I'm running as my main system. After fixing my sd card up and putting it back in my device I installed the multisystem.apk and installed multisystem. Flashed the multisystem.zip in flashfire and upon reboot the green light came on and selinux is set to permissive. Next was Create Virtual IMG. I did this and waited for the red led indicator to go away then set it as my primary virtual system image. Rebooted and clicked volume up as the green led indicator was up and it rebooted into the virtual rom I just made. I made sure by running the terminal command listed in the Q&A to see which one is mounted and it was loop0 as he said.

Great work man. Now time for the fun to begin! Thanks for this. About to test the new version of my rom and see if it works good with this.

Note to other users DO NOT FLASH TMS5 1.0 or AllianceROM that are in our forum. They point to the main system. I'll have to update the updater-scripts for these. I'll get to it soon enough. If you already are on this read the Q&A and make the adjustments yourself if you think you can or ask me and I will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP WE HAVE SELINUX PERMISSIVE HOLY CRAP WE CAN DO VIPER AUDIO NOW. This is awesome! Woooooooo!

Aaaaand never mind, installed viper driver but its still the same, the driver status is still abnormal, so i guess not :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Works perfectly. I'll have to try again but flashing a rom on the virtual slot over the copied system didn't go so well. So I had to jump back on my stock slot.

I like that it keeps system data but there is a downside to this too. It would be nice if it didn't and it separated them between the slots. So when I suggest a full wipe for people to update or for me to test things if I wipe system I won't have to go back through the setup on the old system slot. This is rather annoying. I read that it used the same system data between them but I guess I didn't think it the whole way through. Some things need a good system wipe between updates. Anyway that you can change it to be setup separately?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hsbadr:
Ok, it's at very early development stage, I'll consider this & more other features with updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hsbadr:
Simple One-Click Installation

I've fixed the installation script by setting the required symlinks (this makes it a very simple one-click installation for future versions), but I'll keep it a bit complicated for everyone to go through the Q&A thread (posts #1-6) to learn more before being able to use it.

On a side Note, I'd recommend to backup your data via TitaniumBackup & only wipe system data before rebooting to a completely different ROM.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pacqueo:
Hello friends. My AT&T SGH I-777 has become very very problematic.

It is stuck at 2.3.6 and I cannot get it back to 4.1 Jelly Bean.

After the simple fix attempts, I tried Kies twice. Odin twice. No Luck. Samsung sent me to Best Buy. No luck. Contacted Samsung again, they said send it in...I did. Today, when they asked for my credit card to charge me $70+, I said no thank you, I'll try XDA.

Apparently, trying to go from 2.3 to 4.1 is not that simple. But it can be done.

Any direction or advice is certainly welcome. Thanks in advance.

Pacqueo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It should *not* be difficult, unless you have some underlying issue.

Can you please explain in detail: tried Odin twice -- no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pacqueo:
stumped.....

Check this out: Baseband is correct for 4.1, but is stuck on Android 2.3.4.....any suggestions other than Odin or Kies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pacqueo:
:creepycrawler

Thanks for getting back to me CC.

Odin has worked for other issues in the past, but not this one.

I have put my phone specs in a separate post.

Any input would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Check the last entry in this post by [MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION], that's where you can find the Jelly Bean files you'll need to flash through Odin (get both the UCMD8 file and the AJK 4.9 kernel). Don't worry about the baseband, that's only your modem and it isn't binary/rom/OS specific.

Avoid Kies at all costs and only use Odin v3 (I believe the best version is 1.85), and if you run into trouble come back here and we'll try and help. We've all been where you are, and have flashed these files many, many times, so we know they work. Sometimes it takes several attempts with Odin to get it working, but it will flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I can't tell from your response whether you are having any specific issues with Odin. I'll assume that you can use Odin without issues as long as you have the correct files to flash. If that's not true, just ask and explain. As Steve said, flash the I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) Full Odin Flashable tar. If your goal is to have stock Jelly Bean, then stop there. If you want to customize your phone after, then either Steve or I can give you additional advice if you need it. (Don't download the AJK MicSwap kernel from that page though, as it only works with ported roms and will not work with stock.)

I don't always get in here every day, but I will answer if you are patient.

...whew!

after throwing it in a drawer and going on vacation, I tried again.

It worked exactly like the instructions you gave me.

Now all I have to do is figure out why the battery is draining to 0% in less than 8 hours...just sitting, not even being used!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You could root and use better battery stats to diagnose the drain. There's a thread in the general forum, [REF] Known identified battery drainers which may be of help.
[General Questions and Answers] zombunny:
I know this has been asked before, but nothing seems to work. Google play simply refuses to download or update any apps, it says downloading, and the downloading progress bar shows in the notification panel, but the percentage does not come up and no matter how long I wait, it doesn't finish. This is on my mother's Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini, 4.2.2, and unfortunately not rooted (unfortunately meaning I feel the problem would probably be easier to fix with root, haha). It works fine on WiFi, I have even tried to "jump start" it by starting an app download with WiFi, then quickly switching to mobile. I've cleared play data, cache, uninstalled updates, stopped/cleared data for download manager, same with play services + uninstalled updates, forced my current versions of google play and play services onto her phone to ensure she would have the latest version, removed and readded her Google account, tried other apps, restarted the phone multiple times during the uninstallations and clearing data, toggled airplane mode, booted the phone without data after wiping Play data and cache and starting it FIRST with WiFi, then switching to data, hit update/install with airplane mode on to force error 923 (mainly to see if errors could still be triggered, or if the downloading bar would continue to attempt downloading), tried a different Google account, force killed download manager while a download was pending for Google play + relaunched Google play.... I've tried everything I can think of except for a factory reset, which is ridiculously stupid if that's the only solution.

Edit: Things got interesting. As a process of elimination, I used Chrome to download a random image online. Same as Google Play, the downloading bar and arrow showed up, but will not download. Seems the problem lies deeper within the download manager.... on a nonrooted android, what are my choices to fix this?

Edit (again): Finally got download manager to download things online, but google play store seems to "lock it up", meaning when I try to install on the play store, the installation never actually finishes, and afterwards download manager will no longer work online for random images and files. It's as if something is stuck.
[General Questions and Answers] dev.wes07:
Try the following:

Update your phone's firmware.

Update Playstore.

Try clearing cache using Recovery Mode.

Use 3rd party app.

Try updating using a specific custom ROM for your device.

If all else failed. Try Formatting.

Hi, yes I am sure it works great this rom was my daily driver for a couple of weeks until I sold the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bbGabor:
I installed Validus-lollipop on i527m and it actually works.

The only problem was the extreme battery drain. Like 1% ---> 1m 7 sec if using wifi or lte.

The solution is easy (use GSam battery monitor): there was a bad kernel wakelock.

If you don't use your mega for touchless paying, just delete NFC.

Find com.android.nfc. Force stop it. Delete cashe/data. Remove. Reboot phone.

I've got a bit of an issue here. Out of nowhere (I've had the latest OTAs for about 2 weeks now) I am unable to receive SMS. When one tries to come through I got a "com.android.phone has stopped". I was bone stock, no unlocked bootloader or anything. Since then, I have tried a couple different ROMs but still seem to be unable to get SMS. MMS come through fine and I can send outgoing messages, but SMS do not work. Data also seems to work fine.

Any ideas would be incredibly helpful.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raketemensch23:
I had the exact same problem on my wife's OPO, rooted, stock ROM, though it turned out slightly differently. The update gave the never-ending com.android.phone error. You can go into Airplane Mode to stop the crash. I read through the crash logs, and figured it was something to do with the APN. I deleted the APN, turned off Airplane Mode, and the crash stopped.

Phone and SMS work fine, as does wi-fi. However, I couldn't get any data at all. Not a great solution. I couldn't manually set the APN either, since I got a "APN Settings not allowed for this user" message, and removing the SIM, rebooting without it, then inserting it again, didn't help.

Also, root was removed. I installed TWRP and re-flashed the SuperSU zip file (make sure you go directly into recovery after the fastboot reboot or it'll flash Cyanogen Recover on top of TWRP and you have to start over!).

I did a full Titanium Backup as well as a Nandroid backup to a USB-OTG drive. Next step is to do a factory reset in TWRP and see if that fixes the APN issue.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synyster06Gates:
Unfortunately nothing has worked. I have fully wiped the phone MANY times. I installed 4 different 5.0.2 ROMs, rolled back to factory 4.4.4 ROM via fastboot, and even tried a 5.1.1 ROM this morning. The only time it crashes is when I receive a text.
