wow . now it works.

big thanks
[Elephone P8000] fillippe:
Skeleton, I've got an emergency! Can you help?

I've still got recovery, thankfully, but against your instructions I went to format my external SD card via the storage options in the android settings screen. It tried to unmount the card but couldn't and said the SD card was damaged. I went to recovery and made a full wipe. Then I went for factory reset. Now when it attempts to load it is stuck on Eragon first boot image, the unanimated one. Unfortunately the 8.5zip file was on my external card. How can I reflash Eragon? I have also reflashed Philz recovery successfully.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
whoops . so you dont have an OS installed now.

wel there are moany options for you now.

i think the simplest method will be that you extract my rom.zip to your desktop and load it in the flashtool program . use the stock scatter.txt file for it. that could work

another one would be to use sideload.

if you dont know what sideload is look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2318497

the second method will take 10-15min but its easy too.

just flash the stock 25/07 rom or 09/09 via flashtools.

after that place my rom.zip on your sdcard and flash recovery again..

the rest you know :)
[Elephone P8000] fillippe:
Thanks loads!

First option seems to be working. Got animated Eragon boot img going now!:fingers-crossed:

[Elephone P8000] Rebel Rouser:
Don't know if I can post with only 1 post to my name.

Just wanted to say what a great service you provide. me being a noob to Android I have learnt a lot from this thread.

1 thing still confuses me, I always dirty flash on fear of loosing all my settings. I know at sometime I will have to do a clean install. I have searched this thread but to know avail but cant find anything to show how to clean install.

kind regards :good:
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
thank you.

well a clean install is easy. take a look into my first post , under download section. i have wrote how to perform a clean....
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
V9.0 is available

for OTA check eragon updater / Rom

v9.0
-build new from scratch
-fixed all stagefright libs (props blueflame)
-fixed wipe cache & dalvik at boot
-embed viper v4 audio 2.4.0.1 (works out of the box)
-recoded and styled power menu
-removed recovery from rom
-removed seeder
-added rngd init.d script
-styled fingerprint icon
-improved cpu control values

you dont need to install vipers v4a drivers (v2.4.0.1) they are embed in system by default, because i had to change the sound.effect and config...

so after you enable it, it works right out of the box.

i stumbled over some weird things.

1 thing was with the latest beta 2.65 supersu . i updated it and i was not able to build a system image because it says i have only 500mb left on sdcard. but it was 8GB . i took a quick look and saw that it was related to the new supersu. so i did not investigated it more and just used the present supersu v2.45

2. thing was with the new Mixplorer 6.1.1 Beta. it is good but one thing is that there is no automaticly permission value if i replace some apps etc.. second thing was, all files i copied to sdcard where visible on pc only after a reboot.. so i stay with official version like before..

tomorrow i will write a "Known issues with elephone / source" ..:D

enjoy.

P.s: as always i tested it with Fullwipe. so if you notice some strange bugs it could be because you dirty flashed the rom.

P.p.s: its smoother then before with great speed.

tip:

In Nova Launcher settings got to "look and feel" and set

the animation and scroll speed to "faster then light"

&

Go to settings/about/software info /more/ and tick 7 times on build number.

no you have enabled the Developer settings in settings.

browse there to Animations and set them to 0,5 .​

Even they are not listet in stagefright? i googled them . it seems google has some more bugs. and they are in kernel side.. they exists from the beginning

i will speak to blueflame and stefan!

explaining:

CVE-2015-6608:

mediaserver in Android 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY48X and 6.0 before 2015-11-01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file

CVE-2015-6616

mediaserver in Android before 5.1.1 LMY48Z and 6.0 before 2015-12-01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file

they are there in every google rom. from the beginning

I WILL LOOK INTO A ANDROID 6 ROM. MAYBE I CAN PORT THEM

Hello,

So, I'm on my third V9.0 download tests.

Last night I downloaded it but can not find it on my phone.

Like I made backups ... I'll have to try if they work, because my very first backup can not be found?

Apparently download V9.00(3) via OTA loads.

Impossible to know where is the V9.0.0 file ???????

It is tiring to look like that !!! I download to my PC, OTA is the ****. :(:silly::p:(:silly::p
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
ota and fullrom uses the same website. its from androidfilehost

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478675504

if you download it from the eragon updater . its in your sdcard download folder after download is complete.

you only have to reboot to recovery and flash it.

to your backups. i dont know what you did :p

but the backup is located in clockworkmod folder on sdcard. if you use philzv2.. if you use twrp it should be in twrp folder
[Elephone P8000] aaron.hossain75:
Hi I really appreciate your hard work and the new ROM :) I also like the new icon! :D But can you please tell me if there is a way to change the color of it ?? I would have loved it if it was in white ..I don't like blue actually :) anything you could do"?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
you are never happy or? LOL :silly::silly: xD

sure. i have just change it for you.

only do this.

download the systemui.apk and replace it with the current one. in system/priv-app/systemui folder.

use mixplorer for it . (it should set the permission automatic... if not change it to 644 )

and reboot.

[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
you dont have mixplorer? or is it just not on the homescreen anymore?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
what NOOO. its just an ota/hub app . to provide some stuff
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Thanks. I did not expect it. But your confirmation is most helpful (because I trust you).
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
its is recommended to perform a fullwipe!

if you want to dirty flash so all your apps and settiings stay alive , you could notice some weird bugs. that means.

if you notice some bugs, dont report them here, first make a fullwipe and look if they are still there.

just place the rom.zip into your sdcard and reboot to recovery. choose install and browse to the zip.

after installation , reboot. (thats dirty)
[Elephone P8000] Nachtwesen2:

[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
"ironic. xD tell me what exactly do you want to know about the ota/hub, i will show you all you want."

I do not need to know anything more. If you say no private data is transferred, that's fine for me. I really trust you. I merely raised the question because most Android developers monetize their work ("free" apps on PlayStore) by obtaining and selling private data.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

One more question: I understand that AppOps does not properly work together with Eragon ROM and has therefore been removed. Is there any other tool providing GRANULAR permission control that is compatible with Eragon?

I have noticed that updates for many of my standard apps require more and more permission. I currently used LBE Security Master but the permission management is not really granular.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
haha

1. first you need to deodex the stock systemui.apk

2. search for the latest apktool.jar( i think its 2.0.2 at the moment)

3. search and download a tool to decompile the systemui.apk ( like apktool apkmultitool etc... i use vts for all my moding and themeing)

4. replace the existing apktool.jar from the tool you use with the new one you downloaded (2.0.2)

5. use the tool and decompile the systemui.apk

6. now you will have all files of the apk, most stuff is in the "res" folder . java codes (smali) are in the smali folder..

7. for the fingerprint icons browse to res/drawable-nodpi. ( you will see them when you open the folder)

8. restyle or replace them with other pngs you want.

9. recompile the systemui.apk again.

10. flash or replace it in system/priv-app/systemui
[Elephone P8000] aaron.hossain75:

well there are many appops in the playstore. the problem with them , they are not compatibel with andorid 5.1

if you want i can send you my eragon appops . later this day
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Maybe "developer" was the wrong word. I did not want to say that most developers at XDA do it. I meant commercial producers of Android apps.

I would be happy to test your version of Eragon Appops. I remember that there was a forced close with previous versions of Eragon Appops once you slided to the device tab.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
ah okay. that could be that some app developer (also present in playstore) do this..

exactly. then it will force close. but other options are fine. i will send it to you this evening. via private message

you can skip the deodexing of systemui , just use the one you already have :p

Fullbackup with PhilZ, Dirtyflash 8.5 ->9.0 without wiping cache and dalvik (already in installation progress), running lik,e a charm! No issues because of dirtyflash yet. Maybe I'll do a clean install all 3 or 4 versions since you provide new fixes at least once a month! :)

I like the new Power Menu!

No stagefright issues found.

BetterBatterStats+ telling me a deep sleep of 90% within the last hour, so I guess there is no battery drain so far.

Interactive Govenor is a good choice (noticed a huge difference between ondemand (which is a bit more battery orientated)) - you tweaked something more with CPU control?

[Elephone P8000] alpha_tier:
Hi, just a few newbie questions:

It is mentioned here that dirty install works sometimes. But what if it doesn't? What is the risk? And does it make sense to try dirty install upon stock rom (0725) or it could work just for upgrading eragon rom?

Thanks!
[Elephone P8000] Hakim Farouk:
clean is always best tho but if youre upgrading from a previous version, a dirty install has the least chance of screwing up. but since youre coming from stock, id suggest clean install. you could try dirty over stock at your own risk tho. the risk is just the basic bootloop etc. can just sp flash stock back to life.
[Elephone P8000] alpha_tier:
Thanks a lot. And in case of clean install, if I make backup using CWM recovery, is it possible to use Advanced Restore with data option to restore just installed apps after successfull Eragon install?
