[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Aaahh:
Okay so I decided I'd make a thread on this, so that everyone would know. (why else? :p)

Pretty Noob friendly...

needed libs:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9uqk9InEzCYMUtaZGI0ekJRNUU/view?usp=sharing

EDIT: FRAMEWORK.jar IS TRASH

READ HERE

https://github.com/testwhat/SmaliEx/issues/3

If you just want nexus 5 andorid preview 1 (first) apps to add to your rom, https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0...3WVBuaHNMeVQwZ3lzbkZIM0ZLRGJIZTUxMWpFd00/edit

Put apps, some priv-apps, and even less frameworks

Requirements:

Java 8 JRE or JDK

git

Device targeted

Okay so first you need to

1. take your system.img (If you don't have that check the bottom of this post) and unexact it (if you don't know how, bottom of post).

2. "git clone --recursive https://github.com/Aaahh/deodex-app" to your home folder or folder of choosing

3. "cd ~/deodex-app" or to where you cloned it

4. Now copy that unextracted system.img (/system folder) to deodex-app's folder

5. Now open terminal and run "./all"

6. that will deodex everything, but bootclass frameworks are different.

7. Take your device, plug it in, run "./oat2dex devfw"

8. take the boot-jar-result and copy it to deodex-app/out/framework

9. Now copy the contents of deodex-app/out to /system

10. repack system (bottom of post)

11. fastboot flash system system_new.img and your done.

Dump system image from device:

If you don't have system.img than follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045

Decompile system.img

Depending on how you got your system image,

if you took it from a flashable zip, http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/how-to-conver-lollipop-dat-files-to-t2978952 (Post two, after mounting, make a copy of the mounted folder, thats /system)

if you took it from google preview, (or sparse)

1. git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/extras -b android-m-preview

2. cd extras/ext4_utils

3. cd ../../

4. ./extras/ext4_utils/simg2img system.img system.raw.img

5. then mount that and make a copy of the mouted folder, that's your /system folder

How to repack /system

Download this, https://mega.co.nz/#!8cxUALSK!tNFals1oIxqKzd51Czf7vORlc8NA_WKeHPxbDNfOYsg

then use it like this

./make_ext4fs -T 0 -S file_contexts -l 1073741824 -a system system_new.img output/

file_contexts is from your zip, if you can't find it check your boot.img, if you can't do that and you have selinux permissive, then just find any device's file and use it.

Using kernel auditor's build prop editor you can change the vaule of (persist.splitwindow.support_all) from false to true then reboot. After reboot you will have access to all your apps in dual window.

Sent from my LG-H811
[T-Mobile LG G4] Wrightperspective:
I did this and rebooted now my phone is stuck on T-Mobile screen and blue light at top is pulsing.
[T-Mobile LG G4] csdj92:
Did you change ro.lge.capp_splitwindow from true to false by mistake?
[T-Mobile LG G4] Wrightperspective:
Possibly. I just restored my nandroid. I'll try again.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Did it again. I made sure I was on the correct line. I read it multiple times to make sure. Bootlooping again.
[T-Mobile LG G4] csdj92:
That's strange, are you using the kernel Auditor app or another app?

Edit: How it looks on my end
[T-Mobile LG G4] partylikeaninjastar:
You need to make sure that whatever you're using to edit the build.prop can handle such a large file, otherwise, when it saves, it won't save the entire build.prop and that'll cause boot loops, I believe.

Alternatively, you can use the following app to be a selective about which apps are dual window mode enabled: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2707310
[T-Mobile LG G4] Wrightperspective:
Figured out my issue. I was going in to the script and changing it from false to true instead of selecting it from the list. It works now.
[T-Mobile LG G4] bikrame:
Where can i find that build prop editor? Couldnt find in play store ?

Edited nvmind got it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] srod562:
That application that you linked works perfectly on the LG G4 to select the apps you want in multiwindow without having to edit the build prop! Thank you so much! I'm enjoying having root even more now! [emoji1] [emoji106]

on how to proceed with getting root as well as how to get a recovery.

I have downloaded flashtool and I will be documenting this exhausting adventure so that other newbies, like myself, can follow along on how to get root and a recovery installed.

Stay tuned.

[G4 General] dlscott1111:
Be very careful when downloading the new lg root app. When you are taken to the hosting website you have 2 choices "download" and "download now". I mistakenly clicked "download" and i am in an adware removal marathon. Not sure how i feel about this.

Edit: Officially *******d off!

Edit2: Installs malware too. May have to nuke my computer.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Yeah I nearly made that mistake too. As it was installing, I got a bad feeling and stopped the installation process halfway. Seems okay, but yeah - it's a zip file with no installation necessary. So if you find yourself installing stuff, then you clicked wrong.
[G4 General] jaxbierley:
Yea, I did that initially and finally got rid of all the adware. That **** was annoying.
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
Where is the root tool? This make it so you don't have to do it all manually I take it?
[G4 General] dlscott1111:
In the original android development section.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Yeah I did that too, but when I extracted the zip it was just an exe called "LG G4 Root", and did not contain the send_command and adb files the OP talked about, plus BitDefender threw warnings at me.

It's part of the manual root process.
[G4 General] uly609:
It happened to me too. Download malwarebytes and it will stop the installation of more malware and it will completely remove all the crap that got installed in the first place

DITTO

AVAST went nuts and killed most of them and a registry watchdog caught one trying to write an auto start on boot. I hate download sites.
[G4 General] shojus:
I can tell you that as soon as DEV Host sold themselves out with that CRAP download button ****t, I made sure i never visit their site again! That's the worst thing a company can do to make a few bucks and I loath any company that does not care about their traffic like DEV host has done. Plenty other legit sites to get that root tool and/or just use decent Antivirus/anti-malware tools and that download button won't even show up, nor will it allow ANY type of installs or changes to your registry. :)
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
On those download websites, I always look at the link first to see where it's going to take me before I click on it. If you look, the "Download Now" button takes you to a URL with the correct file in it.
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
I tried downloading it a few times and kept getting the .exe file, so I decided to download it in a VM and take a snapshot before running it.

I ended up not actually getting the .zip file from the executable even when it went through the motions, then I noticed someone saying to use the "download now" button instead.
[G4 General] clockcycle:
I noticed the first link was named .jre microsoft security caught it when download finished. That host is always like that with the fake links.

Go Offline. Use another PC to download ComboFix to a USB drive. Boot affected PC into safe mode (offline), run Combo Fix. Boot into normal mode, and rerun ComboFix.

Install SpyBot and do its immunity. It adds like 800,000 known bad sites to a HOSTS files redirect (blocks).

ComboFix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/dl/12/
[G4 General] munkypoo7:
Common sense, you have it.

Seems others in this thread simply don't. The file that had to be downloaded was a 4+GB file that was compressed (tar.gz), not an exe. I really don't understand the confusion here.
[G4 General] dlscott1111:
Usually i am pretty Good at avoiding malware. May have seemed like common sense but it got me. I think i made the assumption that the file was necessary for something because of how it was named.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
What got me was that the instructions said to use the send_command file from the LG root zip, when I extracted it and only saw a single exe I knew something was wrong.
[G4 General] Jammin72:
Got me too. I terminated the process when it occurred to me that nowhere in the root instructions did it say to run anything hopefully there's not something lurking that got plopped in there before I quit it.
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
Mine didn't even unzip. I didn't have any issues downloading and my PC didn't yell at me but when I tried to unzip the file 7Zip kept telling me the file wasn't a valid archive. I ended up getting the send_commands elsewhere.

Also, to the guy who listed ComboFix above....you sir know what you're doing ;). I came across ComboFix years ago I was working as a desktop support tech and that's my first GoTo app for virus/malware cleanup. If it doesn't find it, nothing will.
[G4 General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
No this is the to, which is linked from another thread not the image and it nearly got me too. Luckily in size to Dev hosts terrible site. Have requested the op post an antennae link for the tools.
[G4 General] Snakecharmed:
I never saw the orange Download button because I run NoScript for Firefox and it takes two script enables to see it. I only enabled once on Saturday to get the legitimate blue Download Now button and never gave the page another thought.

Now that I see both buttons, I have to say that's BS on the part of Dev-Host. The only real differentiating factor before you download is that the first URL looks more illegitimate than Shawn Kemp's children.
[G4 General] dlscott1111:
Thanks, I will have to check out NoScript, didn't know about it.
[G4 General] uly609:
I think the equivalent for this is ScriptSafe in the chrome webstore.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
yeah stay away from dev-host now, not the same site it used to be, but like the scotsman said, always hover over the link to see where its gonna take you before you click, sorry it happened bro
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfandroid:
Sorry if this is an idiotic question to be asking, but here goes:

I'm going to Japan, and was planning on getting a prepaid data SIM from so-net for my stay. Here are the bands they say are needed for the device to work on the network, either on LTE or 3G.

My question is, I know the TL-10 has some of these frequencies (band 1 and 3 for LTE, and band 1 for 3G). However, are all of them required for you to be able to connect to the network on either LTE or 3G (i.e, would I require a device with both 2100MHz and 800MHz supported to connect on a 3G signal)? Thanks in advance.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grofock:
Hello, there are never idiotics questions...

All of these frequencies are not required to be able to connect to the network. The only downside is that you won't get an optimal connection in some places where frequencies are not supported by your phone. For example, in an area with only Band 19 LTE coverage, you're connection will be in 3G instead of 4G.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfandroid:
Cheers for the reply :good: I was led to believe you needed multiple bands to connect, because Wind Mobile here in Canada requires both 1700 and 2100 MHz supported on a device for it to be compatible with the network.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhicke:
OK I do not claim to be a expert on rooting devices. Plus I do appreciate the hard work these dev's do to get us root access. But why does it always cost money to root the moto x phones. I have had almost every phone made and almost all had free root. I do donate to the roots i do use on my phones. Can a dev please explain why the moto phones are harder to root then others?? Thank you
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
First of all, it's not paid to root, it's paid to use an exploit to run unsigned images on the phone. This is because the verizon and at&t models have locked bootloaders. So on those 2 models you can't flash files, so people pay to be able to run custom images that arr modified, maybe with root or other changes.

For all other moto x models we can unlock the bootloader and flash anything we want.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhicke:
There are other phones with locked bootloaders. Still not really a reason why they charge for moto phones. Did on the first gen and now on the second gen.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Then the only answer is that the dev feels he deserves money. Has nothing to do with it being a motorola phone. Do you feel like we should invest a lot of time for free? Because I definitely don't work for free, and I am sure you don't work for free either.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhicke:
I don't expect anything for free that is why I donate. Like I hope most people do. I am just saying that most devs ask for donations not just cold hard cash. Maybe if they explained what makes this root so different then others. Even apple jailbreaks are free and that **** is work. Apple updates software weekly to stop jailbreaking on there devices.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Again I repeat, this isn't for root... It has to do with the bootloader. For the first gen moto x, sunshine unlocks the bootloader on the models that can't be unlocked through motorola. For the second gen mofo allows you to boot custom images even though the bootloader can't be unlocked. Neither are a root method. After using them, sure root becomes possible but these 2 tools don't actually root the phone, you can root it after using these tools by using the normal root methods which are free.

Because this exploit is very specific, it only is useful for verizon and at&t, and it only works on 4.4.4 or 5.0. If they have 5.1 it won't work because motorola patched the exploit.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
To put it simply, for every 1 person that donates there are 100 that don't. My favorite rom developer for the Nexus7 stated his rom had been downloaded 1 million times. Imagine if everyone gave just $1. Instead, most people never donated a penny.

It takes hard work and time to do what I can't. I respect them for wanting to get something up front for all that work.

I knew I wanted to be able to root so I paid up front for the Pure Edition.

Remember to always tip your friendly developer. Without their work, we'd be stuck with whatever the manufacturers gave us.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhicke:
Thank you for answering my question. I have a better understanding of why they do need to charge. For the first and second gen motorola x phones.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MrManH:
Hi everyone,

I have a stock Tmobile Galaxy S6 that I bought on release day and that I haven't touched since while waiting for the 40 days to elapse so that I can unlock it and use it on AT&T. Unforunately Tmobile screwed something up and it's been 2 months now and I still can't unlock it through the unlock application and I'm not receiving the emails their customer service is supposedly sending me.

The phone keeps nagging me for OTA updates, I haven't done any yet. If I do accept the ETA, does that close any doors or make rooting more difficult? My goal is to eventually flash the unified G92xF/I/T Galaxy S6 Universal Deodexed Mod edition ROM.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
Maybe a little more difficult than 5.0.2, but you just gotta follow the correct steps. It will however, trip knox. Did you try searching for the email manually? I had that problem once and had to search manually because they didn't show up for some reason
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MrManH:
I did search for the email and never received it. The tricky part is I had my friend bought it for me so all customer service calls go through him. I'm about to leave on vacation abroad and at this point I don't care if it's unlocked because I won't be roaming anyway, I just want the latest official fixes and enhancements without jeopardizing my ability to flash custom roms when I get back. The reason why I'm not flashing the custom ROM yet is because I think they get rid of the Tmobile unlock application which I'll need in the future when Tmobile gets their act together.

Sounds good! When you say it will trip Knox, are you saying that in regards of having to flash a custom recovery for the ROM I mentioned? If so whether I stay at 5.0.2 or update to the latest firmware wouldn't change that right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
If you are planning to flash a 5.1.1 rom then yes you will have to trip knox on 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 bootloader. Updating to full 5.1.1 firmware is recommended for this, otherwise fingerprint reader will not work. Now, there is a way to not trip knox on 5.1.1 but you will lose that fingerprint functionality. There is also a method to not trip on 5.0.2 and retain fingerprint functionality but you can only flash 5.0.2 Roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MrManH:
I was just browsing the forum and came across a post that linked to a new way for unlocking the Tmobile S6 using Android SIM Unlocker. It looks very promising so I may actually be unlocked within the next 24 hours. So you recommend that no matter what I let the OTA update my phone to 5.1.1 before flashing anything in order to retain fingerprint reader functionality? I intend on running 5.1.1 and not staying on 5.0.2.

The ROM instructions say: "If you're experiencing ANY issue, then first make sure that you're on the latest bootloader/firmware (see post #4 for latest one for your model), and that you've done an clean install (data/factory reset before installing the ROM)."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
Yes

Sent from my SM-G920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] EncryptedCurse:
Could you elaborate on this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
Follow the same procedure for rooting and flashing 5.1.1 without tripping Knox but flash a 5.0.2 rom after you are done

Have you tried taking out the battery and putting it back in, then turning it on? Maybe it's a messed up battery? That's all I can think of now as I am not sure what could cause this issue. Hopefully someone else can elaborate.
