[Palm Treo 750] ir803:
I've just got my new 750V from Vodafone with WM6 to replace the 750v i had with WM5 and already there are a lot of things different. With my old phone you could safely put it in your pocket with dialling anyone as you had to press a two key combination to unlock it, the new phone activates by pressing just one button and therefore always ends up coming out of my pocket asking who i want to call or text or trying to open a program. Is there a way of changing which key/keys turn the screen on?

next..I used hidelogo and vjtoday on WM5 but on WM6 hidelogo does nothing although I've seen screenshots by other people who seem to have it working??!!?? vjtoday rmoved the bottom bar BUT it comes back on its on every now and then for no reason.

I'm struggling to find anyone who has WM6 on a treo to helps with these issues.

Hello,

my phone is an E2303. The only problem for me with this phone is the limited memory.

I have rooted the phone the way explained in http://xdaforums.com/m4-a.../root-t3421932

With Root Explorer, i removed a lot of stuff in /system. Now 1,66 GB are used and 810 MB are free.

usderdata and system partitions ( sgdisk --print /dev/block/mmcblk0 )

Nr Name Start Stop Size type

29 userdata 1449984 10043391 4.1 GIB 8300

30 system 10043392 15269375 2.5 GIB 8300

My idea:

- use TWRP to backup userdata and system partions

- delete both partitions

- create userdata with 4.6 GIB

- create system with 2 GIB

- format both partitions with make_extfs4

- restore both partitions with TWRP

I know that as a consequence, i'm not able to flash updates.

Do you think, that this would work ?

===[ Update 5.12.2016 ]===

Yes !

I've attatched my scripts to this initial post. Howto follows ...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sergioslk:
i can tell you that something similar worked on lg g2 mini (d610/d618)

resize partitions Script

Hello,

i've startet coding a shell script:

------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

MMC=/dev/block/mmcblk0

NEW_FREE_SEC=65536 # 32 mbyte in sectors

if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]; then

echo "Only root is allowed"

exit

fi

mount | grep "$MMC" > /dev/null

RC=$?

if [ $RC -eq 1 ]; then

echo "system not mounted. mounting now"

mount /system

RC=$?

echo $RC

fi

FREE_MB=$(df -P -m /system/ | grep 'mmcblk0p30' | awk '{print $4}')

FREE_KB=$(df -Pk /system/ | grep 'mmcblk0p30' | awk '{print $4}')

FREE_SEC=$(df -P -B 512 /system/ | grep 'mmcblk0p30' | awk '{print $4}')

echo "Your system partion has $FREE_MB mbyte free ( kbyte = $FREE_KB ; sectors = $FREE_SEC)"

DATA_FS=$(sgdisk --print $MMC | awk ' $1 == "29" { print $2}')

DATA_LS=$(sgdisk --print $MMC | awk ' $1 == "29" { print $3}')

SYS_FS=$(sgdisk --print $MMC | awk ' $1 == "30" { print $2}')

SYS_LS=$(sgdisk --print $MMC | awk ' $1 == "30" { print $3}')

echo "Data partition first sector: $DATA_FS"

echo "Data partition last sector: $DATA_LS"

echo "System partition first sector: $SYS_FS"

echo "System partition last sector: $SYS_LS"

let NEW_DATA_LS=$DATA_LS+$FREE_SEC-$NEW_FREE_SEC

let NEW_SYS_FS=$NEW_DATA_LS+1

echo "Data partion NEW last sector: $NEW_DATA_LS"

echo "System partion NEW first sector: $NEW_SYS_FS"

-------------------------------

Output:

/external_sd # . resize_partions

Your system partion has 839 mbyte free ( kbyte = 859392 ; sectors = 1718784)

Data partition first sector: 1449984

Data partition last sector: 10043391

System partition first sector: 10043392

System partition last sector: 15269375

Data partion NEW last sector: 11696639

System partion NEW first sector: 11696640

-------------------------------

Next things to code would be:

- Backup both partitions to SD-card using "tar" ( tar cpf ...)

- unmount partitions

- delete partitions ( sdisk $MMC --delete 30 )

- create partitions with new sector boundaries ( sgdisk $MMC --new 30:11696640:15269375 )

- change partition type ( sgdisk $MMC -t 30:8300)

- change name ( sgdisk $MMC --change-name 30:"system")

- create ext4 partion ( make_ext4fs -L system /dev/block/mmcblk0p30)

- mount

- restore partions ( tar xpf ..)

Do i need special options for make_ext4fs ?

But the question is: would this work ??? What, if i bootloop my device ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ch3mn3y:
Flashing stock with Flashtool should restore official partition table.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] klarseher:
bootloop now ...

As a first step, I have only risized the system partition. The files were backuped with "tar cpf" and restored with "tar xpf" in the recreated partition.

I could see the files in the partion, but the phone does not startup "normal".

I had to use the hidden off button near the SD-slot to power off the phone. Flashing didn't resolved the problem. There is an error while writing system.sin - probably because the partition is to small.

Maybe i have to downgrade flashtool, as mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62751375&postcount=3 ???

Next step would be to "unbrick" my phone. With original system partition, i will only backup and restore the content, to see, if "tar" is able to do the job. Second try with TWRP Backup.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] WormsWarII:
Hello,

I could be wrong, but I think your bootloop problem would probably comes from some sort of SONY extra protection layer.

This additional security system is called RIC and prevents you from freely modifying the system partition at runtime by blocking r/w mount of the system partition.

There is also a default Android security that checks the system partition against a hardcoded hash on boot, to prevent system partition modification (maybe partition size is part of the check operation...).

So you may try to disable the first protection (look at Z5 tutorial) and/or look for a way to bypass the boot check (not sure if possible).

Regards.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] klarseher:
system parttion successfull shrinked

Okay, i finally shrinked my system partition and the phone will boot up normal.

The process is a little bit complicated.

You have to create a TWRP backup of your debloated system partition.

Check, if this backup is working ! So rm -rf everything in system and restore from backup.

Next, delete partition with sgdisk and create smaler one ( my script from 1st post will do the calculation for 1st sector )

Change name of partion to "system".

Create ext4 fileystem on parttion ( TWRP will also format - don't know if realy needed )

Reboot into TWRP an try to restore - maybe reboot some times into TWRP and check parttions

To recover with flashtool in case you didn't manage to get it to work - delete system partition and flash "partition.sin" and "system.sin"

In the next step, i will increase data partition :)

give flashable zip
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] klarseher:
Increasing userdata worked the same way. Backup userdata with TWRP, delete partition 29, create partition 29 with new last sector. Restore with TWRP.

( I've lost adoptive storage in this step - but this is okay, because adoptive storage is to slow for me )

Now userdata on my phone has 4.9 GIB.

To do the same, you have to read and understand.

There is no flashable zip - you will resize your partitions after removing unused stuff from system partition. You have to deal with sgdisk on the TWRP cmdline ( adb shell)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sachinss1979:
When you remove or delete any system app the folder & ink may get deleted but odex file of original stock rom remains in odex folder as squashed this way you can free up at least 200 to 300 mb.

I have tested it on LP.

& As per my assumption the squashed odexes got nothing to do with selinux as it only load images from squashed folder.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] klarseher:
rebuild odex.system.sqsh

Hello,

I rebuild odex.system.sqsh - the size has been reduced from 275MByte to 151MByte.

but, my current linux distribution does not support selinux :(

So, i have to repeat with another linux distribution and replace odex.system.sqsh in /system folder.

maybe next weekend ...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] klarseher:
howto

The solution:

- install CentOS 7 in VirtualBox

Get odex.system.sqsh from phone ( Phone in TWRP Mode):

adb pull /system/odex.system.sqsh .

Copy odex.system.sqsh to CentOS ( via shared folder)

As root:

- yum install squashfs-tools

- unsquashfs odex.system.sqsh # you got a lot of warnings, because unsquashfs is not allowed to access selinux attributes

- rm -rf squashfs-root # remove for next try

- grep unsquashfs /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol

- semodule -i mypol.pp

- unsquashfs odex.system.sqsh

Now, remove unused stuff inside squashfs-root folder

mksquashfs squashfs-root/ odex.system-new.sqsh -comp xz -noI -noF -noX -no-fragments -no-duplicates

---

In TWRP -adb shell:

cd /system

touch dummy

chcon --reference=system.odex.sqsh dummy

rm system.odex.sqsh

# Copy from pc with

adb put odex.system-new.sqh /system/

Back in adb shell:

mv odex.system-new.sqh odex.system.sqh

chcon --reference=dummy system.odex.sqsh

---

The cleanaup in squashfs-root depends on you debloating. I have build my delete script on file lists from /system before and after removing unwanted apps. ( diff before/after | grep '\.odex$')

As a final step, i shrinked my system partion to 1.5 GB ( from original 2.5) and increased /data to 5.1 GB.

Boot phone into TWRP

1. create a backup of your system partition with TWRP

2. "adb shell" to your phone (still booted in TWRP) and create a filelist from system partion on your SD card ( "mount /system ; find /system -type f > /external_sd/system_filelist.lst" - unsure about path to your SD-card )

( we need filelist later for odex "cleanup" )

3. "debloat" your system partition - there are some threads in this forum about removing stuff from /system - i could not help you with this task !

Boot phone into TWRP

4. "adb shell" to your phone. Come back with the output of "mount /system ; df -k /system" and "sgdisk --print /dev/block/mmcblk0"

( I will calculate the new first sector for the system partition depending on your free space )

Then, we do the next step together !

Kind regards

a) you have to boot into TWRP and then "adb shell" to the phone. The output is from an "normal" booted phone.

b) you dont have free space in /system, so first debloat your system partition

i can see my partition sizes. how can i recreate them ?

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
It doesn't work on my phone, the file is empty:

find /system/ -type f -name "*.dex" > /sdcard/dex_list.txt

Isn't there any mistake?

And it generates list file:

find /system/ -type l -name "*.odex" > /sdcard/linked_odex_list.txt

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
Sorry it should be

find [b]/data [/b] -type f -name "*.dex" > /sdcard/dex_list.txt

This is very tedious, do you have any better idea?

I guess some Linux bash expert can automate all this.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
And about this:

Is the

--reference=system.odex.sqsh

correct?

It renderers the error in my TWRP:

"system.odex.sqsh not found"

(or similar, haven't copied)

maybe it is misspelled and you meant

"--reference=odex.system.sqsh"?

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
sorry I copied from OP and forgot to fix. You are correct, I will edit my post.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
And little general, how does it influence if some entries in

odex_sqsh_cleanup.lst

are irrelevant, i.e.

if we delete some dex-es which have apps still installed in the system

(or vice versa

if some dex files stay in the system but their apps are removed)?

As understood, there are some critical system apps which need their dex files to properly regenerate Dalvik (after wipe) and without it boot process is stuck?

And if already boot succeeded then what about other apps without their dex files, will they run?
