Yes you can. But I wouldn't recommend you to flash any retla version.

I tried it with the retla single sim for the same iusmx variant. And for some unknown reason, it still ended being a iusmx version so I was stuck without more updates.

Any retasia rom will also work even if it's for xt1562 models
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonJon:
Thank you for the reply, have you tried the new version of the stock roms for retla? it's the 7.1.1
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] le_zurdo:
No, unfortunately (or fortunately) I changed my device before trying the final stock roms released of Nougat. However I tried the leaked soak test rom without issues
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonJon:
I ended up installing the 2 sim 7.1.1 Latin america version for the XT1563, it works well without problems.

Hi All

I see now we are getting quite a few custom ROM's from the likes of bepe, panosha and other.

Great Work Guys.

But i would also like to be able to build or a least edit a ROM to exactly meet my requirement. Like adding or removing certain CAB files and making reg edits.

Have been reading a lot of other threads on the site put none seem to deal directly with the Polaris.

So i was hoping some of you great cooks (grovel grovel grovel) would wight a description on how to take a nbh file and extract and edit the different nb parts and then rebuild back to a nbh file ready for flashing.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
polaris kitchen

sorry......wrong answer
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ingenious:
I'd love that too! I want to mod an existing ROM and make it specific to my needs.

Will anyone be so kind and post a short guide how to do this? And make the topic sticky!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ouioui01:
First, you can start with Kaiser's Kitchen...and at last, use Dark Simpson tool (htc room tool) to make nbh file (config add Polaris device in tool config)

Cheers,

ouioui
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] christonge:
Good place to start is here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Micman:
Yep , good one, but everything is based on Kaiser.

I don't have a Polaris Radio, neither does the HTC Rom Tool allow to cook Polaris Rom's.

Any other ideas ? Or could someone help ?

Thanks a lot in advance
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] christonge:
The Kaiser kitchen works fine and all you need to do with the Dark Simpson ROM tool is change the Model ID from KAIS***** to POLA*****

As always read the threads before you start cooking and make sure you have Hard SPL!!;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Micman:
Thanks

I've been reading all night ;-)

In the HTC Rom tool there is no Polar***** , strange, although I thought I downloaded the newest ini. I've read in another thread that I could use the Kaiser one as it was basically the same device, is that so ?

Other question though:

Talking about Hard-SPL- I've Hard-SPL'd mine , but do I need to include that one in the rom as well ? Like while using the HTC Rom Tool , in the SPL section ???

Second question, where can I find the radio.....nb ?

Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] christonge:
As I said set the ROM tool to Kaiser then change the Model ID to POLA***** and use as normal to create the nbh image.

As for Hard SPL... once you´ve flashed it that´s that, no need to flash it every time you change ROMs or radio...;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] xarloq:
id love to see the guide for polaris aswell.

and oem packages as well.

i did everything as it was sowen in kaiser guide, but i got an error on building system. have no idea why..

was saying that something is missing or path is icorrect smth like that :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
post here exact errr.U got.

here is htcrt.ini for polaris (only Polaris Option is active) simply rewrite htcrt.ini in folder with htcrt.EXE
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] rev3nant:
It's not necessary to include Radio ROM when building? Right?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
nope, its up 2 U what 2 include (SPL/Radio/OS/Splash)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sgreenwood99:
Thanks for the guidance. The tutorial is great but fails to mention specifics if you are not cooking a Kaiser Rom. For example, does the baserom have to come from a shipped Rom? I was using the 3.02 Kaiser Rom as my baserom. Can you do that when cooking a Polaris rom? How do I get the RUU_signed.nbh out of any other Rom. I thought about using the WM6.1 19716 Rom but couldn't extract anything. (Probably stupid questions but cant find answers in the wiki). BTW, I was getting same errors about half-way through compiling process. If I try again today, I will record the errors and post. Again, thx for help.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
sgreenwood99:PM me i have 19716 WM6.1 for cooking. U can Use some part of any ROM but U have to be sure exactly what. In general U can Use OEMpackages freely, but be aware with drivers, baseapps....(i have perfect CZECH 19199 WM6.1 but w/o working SMS)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] gusnor:
Hi,

i've read through the Kaiser kitchen guide and it all seems to make sense however i'm not sure how much is relavent to the Polaris, for example the ingredients section talks about expanding the radio file and the rom files to folders, from the Kaiser files on rapidshare etc.

Do us Polaris users do these points too? or are there specific Polaris Radio and ROM files we use?

I have my base ROM file called RUU_signed.nbh and i've also managed to use pdocread to get the RAW files too, but just not sure where to go now?

All i want to do is remove a few cabs and add a few cabs and EXEs to my rom.

can anyone post comments on exactly which parts of the Kaiser kitchen guide need to be changed to use on a Polaris?

thanks.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
dont need raw's. simply put *.NBH(polaris) to BaseRom folder. Run begin.cmd(or bat?) Choose option 1.

click......... then start cook.cmd(or bat)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sgreenwood99:
Do we replace the KaiserCustomRUU and the BuildOS files with ones specific to Polaris? Thanks.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
yes, take udK CustomRUU & replace kaiser one, u dont need to replace anything else(except htcrt.ini ||KAIS**** replace with POLA***). And of course Polaris' *nbh
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sgreenwood99:
Whenever I put a Polaris nbh in the BaseRom folder, the process gives me an error that it cannot find RUU_signed.nbh.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] swtos:
Change threaded SMS registry value to 0. Then i think your sms will work ...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] animelover:
I've putted the RUU_Signed.nbh into the BaseROM folder, started the "!BEGIN.cmd" to dump this ROM image and get many errors with "RecMod.exe encountered a problem and will be shuting down" or so (I've fastly translated it into english because I have a german WinXP ;))!

What did I wrong? Oo

I only want the MUI files from that image I'm using to dump!

P.S.:

Is there any other way instead of Kaiser Kitchen 0.3 to dump a NBH image file from Polaris?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
what ROM u use as source?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] animelover:
This ROM: Bepe's German ROM

I want the MUI files inside of this ROM!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] hawk eye tim:
Am also having the same problem with RECMOD.EXE with BEPE 0.58 & 0.55ROM. I have tried with a shipped ROM with no problem.

Am using kaiserkitchen_01-20-08

Thanks
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] udK:
It's not possibile dump bepes rom ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] hawk eye tim:
Please explain why not is it locked or something
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
hawk eye: You just answered yourself. Its locked or smth. I think it has smth with RebuildedXIP or so.... Ask bepe.... I tryed it, but if U want extract some files in particular PM names, i might try...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] hawk eye tim:
I was just going to add my mjustice to the bepe ROM before i tried it.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] animelover:
Bepe isn't answering to PM's, that's the reason why I asked here how to dump this ROM! :mad:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] j911:
How to dump bepe's rom?

I did a search on this topic but didn't find anything useful. How do I dump bepe's or UDK rom, as I keep getting errors about Recmod.exe....

I don't have this problem with other roms.

TIA
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] swtos:
Use HTC Rom Image Editor (search Hack & development)

You can dump all files and modules but without directory structure ...

or HexEdit os.nb.payload and find imgfs starting address. Then cut the file

and keep only imgfs.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] j911:
Sorry, maybe my post was a bit misleading, everything is fine up to the extraction of imgfs.bin stage. When it runs the imgfstodump.exe and starts to create the dump folder that's when the problem starts.

It doesnt seem to exreacr files properly.... all the *.exe are 208 bytes in size and the imageinfo.txt is 4Mb + for most files.

Why?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nerdo:
Hey there :)

If u r still trying to dump bepe's work so pls save your breath cuz u can't :D

The reason is that the guy has his own mystic protection on his ROMs :eek:

Please read the following:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] j911:
Ouch, I see what you mean, suppose he has a fair point, on the other hand, any bugfixes he or other rom developers implement are hindered by such tactics. Why not only protect the german or whatever version of the rom and have a different rom which can be extracted?

Besides from what i've heard bepe has moved on to the HTC Diamond, will it be possible for somebodyelse to continue his work?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kufor:
hi guys

i just started to play with ROM cooking and imgfstodump is failing when trying to dump PDAVIET v25

is it protected as bepe's ROM please?

or better question:

where to get latest pure WM6.1 build? :)
[HTC One S] hfzarx:

hboot version 3.01

i got two villec2 stuck in the infamous qhsusb_dload mode for couple of months now

i've made some research since then to find that the hboot could be corrupted and need to flash new one

any help appreciated dearly and thanks in advance
[HTC One S] hfzarx:
here i got this hboot file version is 3.01, the same with what i have currently if i recall correctly

originall extension when extracted is hboot.img

i renamed this to .nb0 would it work?some reading suggest that they're the same..and size seems also to be the same with some hboot.nb0 that i found for the s4 one s (1024kb)

can anyone confirm this?

im gonna try this tonight after class, hope it would work

Hi.

so after the update, I no longer have the 4k viewing option. only full HD. is this normal ?

How do I get it back ?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iArvee:
4k is still there. It is removed, however, for 4k HDR content due to an issue with the app.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] KiraYahiroz:
For normal non HDR videos 4K is still there. But videos with HDR is now limited to 1080p due to performance issues with pretty much every device: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/04/hdr-youtube-app-now-maxes-1080p/

Shame they don't offer an option to just watch the non-HDR version instead.

Heyo guys ¡¡¡

--> First thing First - provided apps are built by and handled by respected developers mentioned below, purpose of this threat is to provide collection of all diff threads (Mods of Google Camera) in single thread.

> I tried few mods of GC (HDR+,ZSL, Smart Burst) which works with 32Bit stock and custom ROM

1# arm-arm64 with max quality JPEG - ((OK type))

‎

‎2# arm-arm64 with RAW support:- ((better one but colors are saturated on blue side))

‎

‎3# arm-arm64 with max param :- ((not good at all))

‎

‎4# arm-arm64 with Cam2API:- ((ok type))

> For 64Bit custom ROM try arnova's MGC 4.2, 5.0.16 or 5.0.18 those works best try recommended settings if it's provided, this app contains (HDR+, motion pics, ZSL, Smart burst) and arnova's build can be found in second and last link.

‎

--> And lastly for ARstickers there is magisk module ((works only for 64Bit ROM and needs to remove all moded GC before flashing this)) > updated link I prefer using v15E but u can use any of the version u like

http://https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837

Lil description :-

> All this apps are made and handled by other developers mentioned below (and apps can be laggy as this are ported)

> All this camera require is Camera2API enabled -

download any "build prop apk" from play store than add this line

persist.camera.HAL3.enable=1

Note :- Moto G5S plus supports Cam2API but for some it's not enabled by default so better check it first

All thanks goes to developers who created this modded GC :-

So which version is compatible with a stock g5s plus, I tried some and don't even install..
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
Only the one which states arm-arm64 as names are supported to Moto g5s+ here is the link for best out of it with almost all Google camera features but make sure u have camera 2api enabled or it won't work

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617943326
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] keb00:
Thanks in advise, in other post they said our stock system are 32bit, how would work? :eek: But I will give a shot!

Edit: Once more, is a version which is know for having suspicious malware https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/1...e6a71ecc3dc8c429431b2eb588eb7f72680/detection

Doesn't exist another version compatible with our moto without this alerts?
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
Ah yeah Moto g5s+ got arm32 and the link I provided which says "arm-arm64 = arm32-arm64" also if u wanna check any app which supports arm32 or 64 than use apk extractor or ES File manager to extract app than open extracted folder > lib > if it says armeabi-v7a means that 3bits if it's arm64-v8a than it's 64 bits most of the mods provided and made does supports 64 bits only cause newer Google camera version are mostly for 64bits and it gets easy for developers to Port it to other 64bit device

And as for virus I really don't know about that developers are from diff places and they r the one who are making this mods.......

What are you using to enable api2?

I tried the persist build prop edit , and still when I try the camera you say to use, I install and it doesn't finish and says "app not installed"
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
> First check if API2 is enabled by using any camera 2API app from play store if it's enabled

[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] minieod:
Can you link an app from the play store that would do that? I don't see any ?

I removed the opengapps camera that came with it

I am trying to install the arm-arm64 one you linked

I have persist hal3 on

I'm running aex oreo

Thanks!

Edit; ok found an app to test api2. It says yes. So now, I still can't install the app. I used titanium to uninstall any google camera that was on the phone, but when I try to install the one you suggested for 3.2 it says it tries to upgrade from 4.2 and won't work.
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:

[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
first time opening the app will FC 90% of the time but after that it wont FC much often and dont switch btw camera and video to quickly that also causes it to get stuck and make OS reboot i hope B-S-G fix it in his next update
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] XotusBlack:

In the line for activation hal3, take care that there are no spaces between the =

Otherwise it will not work.

It is worth testing, the pics are a lot better!
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
Well the value after = is put in the next column so basically you don't use = sign in the build prop
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phazmos:
Remarkable, truly remarkable. This is just so bad I have to comment. Values in build.prop are entered on 1 line, with =, and no spaces. This is the value

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
Ah just realised it's the matter if which app and how ur using it I have been adding it with 2 column 1st one as name and second one contains value and same app contains second method where I can add new prop in single line using = https://photos.app.goo.gl/YPXHL2oKQVR6HQE33

I'll add that I was having issues finding a camera that worked worth a crap, or at all after flashing validus 16.4. I installed the gcam here and finally have something that works for now. Look forward to improvement for sure.

[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
Testing faze of Pixel experience is out (64Bit ROM) and arnova's GC 5.1.018 and 5.1.016 works best except video recording doesn't work, pics quality is lot better then stock camera even better than GC for 32bit motion photos works with some tweaks causes some FC but over all I kind of like 5.1 more than any of GC for 32Bits

Yeah, checked the build prop already and it's enabled.

Camera settings, not build.prop
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrchman:
Am I interpreting this wrong that this being enabled also means the api2 is enabled already?

Or do you mean to verify that the app is using the api2 options inside of the app itself?
[Moto G5S Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mîkòtø:
No what I mean is add HAL.3 line to just enable APi2 if it's already enabled than nothing to do and use app to check if API2 is enabled or not it should be showing lvl3 access

PE link :- no needs to flash gapps as it's included already

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620773318

And for arnova's modded Google camera check the last link from my forum here u should find the link with suggested camera settings tho video recording works on 5.1.016 with stabilization turned off and motion picture works on all needs to set camera on (16:9)
