[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
There's 2 big reasons why the apps may crashing...

First, The app wasn't designed to be a system app. The crashing of the apps are one way for this to be apparent.

Second, if the app is capable of being a system app, then it may be tied to the permissions for the apps Directory and/or apk files themselves. They will crash if they don't have the appropriate system reflected permissions.

One last thing for you to try if it's none of the above...

When you initially install your Firmware and others, leave out those additional zip files for the apps in question.

Once your device is booted up, and you have complete the initial setup, entering TWRP again and flashing those additional apps zip file and then reboot should do it.

Certain additional flashes won't work if they're not integrated within the Firmware nor designed for the initial setup process but, after the initial flash and the setup process after its first boot, entering TWRP for flashing those apps MAY/MIGHT work out for you.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :)

Good Luck!

Cheers for the reply.

Is there a way to set the permissions of the directory and APK's in TWRP using the update script?
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
The best way to show you is to provide an example of the updater-script file attached.

I just used one of the Stock browsers called "Gello.apk" (I don't actually use).

Look at the script and you'll see the Set Permissions line.

I hope that it helps you out... :thumbup:

[General Questions and Answers] willowen100:
From opening the script I have noticed that the permissions have been set for the APK itself. The update script I previously used had permissions for the containing directory but not the files themselves.

What I'll do now to test this all is try flashing the ROM, booting it up and then flash my additional apps.

The weird thing is OpenGApps installs perfectly fine alongside Lineage OS when flashed together in TWRP and they all get installed to the System partition. Is there any way I can see the permissions used so that I can see what permissions they use?

Additionally if I were to flash some apps to the Data partition, am I wise to use the exact same permissions used on the System partition for the Data one?

Many thanks

[General Questions and Answers] willowen100:
I've found the culprit to why the apps are crashing.

To cut a long story short I gave myself root privileges so that I could gain access to the '/data' directory and I looked inside it and there was only the .apk file itself.

I decided to reinstall the .apk found in one of the directories using the built-in package installer and low and behold inside the new directory two new directories called 'oat' and 'lib' have been made.

I did a test by moving the the 'lib' directory out of one of the app folders '/data/app/app_name' and the app did crash (as expected) trying to launch it. After restoring it the app can open again.

This odd behaviour of the app folders not containing the 'lib' and 'oat' directories' is present across both the '/system/app' and '/data/app' directories.

Has anyone got any suggestions why the directories are not being created when flashing the apps via recovery?

Many thanks

Will

I would like to set up voice unlock and also have the phone to be 100% in english... is there anyway to do so.. when attempting to set up voice assistance. it wants me to speak the mandarin typing..
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
International versions ship with Google Assistant.

So,set that up & perhaps you can enable the phone to unlock by voice/OK Google.

Lots of good people here who are willing to help,should you need it.

Enjoy the new phone! :good:

I'm finally considering upgrading from my LG G3. I'm used to using phones that I can f*ck with, install custom firmware, root, pop in SD cards / batteries, etc.

I suppose some of my biggest considerations are wanting to be able to still create wifi tethering points without asking my carrier for permission, ideally being able to manage my phone's space & memory unrestricted, etc.

My options include:

Samsung: s7, s8, s8 +, s8 active, s9, j3, j7

LG: g6, v30, k20, x venture

Moto g play 6th

ZTE axon m

Any thoughts as to which of these phones are worth looking at / which I should stay away from? Thanks!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] udaredme:
You need the s905w firmware. Do you know what bootloader you have? p281? I was in the same situation, if you have p281 bootloader I have the factory firmware. I can host it for you

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] huffmybrd:
Have you verified that your chip truly is an s905x? Cuz i know they made mxq's with RockChips aswell.

if yours is the s905x then this firmware should be the one your looking for

I went in circles myself with so many firmwares and finally got the one from my supplier which was the first one i linked in this thread. I havent had luck with tanix roms on my mxq boxes, i have with others tho.

No, i dont know. My box brick so can't see bootloader. I also dont know actually my firmware. Just label on the board.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] huffmybrd:
pull the heatsync off the processor and see whats stamped on the chip, it should say s905x or s905w
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] togel07:
Is it safe if I just pull it? Doesn't it damage the chip? I've tried, but it's hard. I didn't dare to continue because I was afraid of damaging the chip. If it safe i will try tomorrow.

Hi, i have a mxq pro box, it has 2gb ram 16gb storage and p281 bootloader with android 7.1.2 and cpu is confusing me bcoz in boot screen it shows amlogic s905x but when i had checked by cpu-z app it doesn't display cpu name and the app shows it is 1.20ghz cortex-a53 cpu.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mkoz:
Hello,

I'm a new one on this great forum so first of all I'd like to send greetings to all of you.

I've searched and read a lot of posts on this forum as well as on another ones, but unfortunately I couldn't find a solution for my problems.

I have purchased a bricked Dopod with HTC logo on it. Previous owner told me that it was Dopod (I don't know exactly which one - C800 or C858) with a Chineese WM 5 OS. He was trying to make HardSPL but he didn't realize that it is recommended for Heralds with higher IPL/SPL.

Now I can only launch Bootloader (with IPL/SPL 1.11.0001) mode but still without oportunity to flash - even with RUU from Dopod (RUU_Herald_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.7.707.3_02.69.90_Ship_R.exe). This RUU seems to be too old for my Dopod. I couldn't find any other (newer) one.

Has anybody got RUU for Dopod suitable for 1.11.0001 IPL/SPL? Or maybe someone who owns working Dopod with IPL/SPL 1.11.0001 could make a backup of his ROM and we could change the mentioned RUU to be able to flash 1.11.0001 SPL?

What do you think?

I'm waiting for your responses and opinions.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Martin.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mkoz:
Hello again.

I have some new ideas.

Could someone verify if I'm on the right track?

I have used NBHextract tool to extract .nbh file from RUU_Herald_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.7.707.3_02.69.90_Ship_R.exe and realized that there are 2 .nb files which are SPL and IPL for my DOPOD. During editing those 2 files we can notice that they include "1.09.0001" string. File 01_G4IPL.nb includes only one "1.09.0001" string and file 00_G4SPL.nb includes just two "1.09.0001" strings.

What if I'll change those strings to "1.11.0001", as it's shown now in the bootloader on my device, and than recompile .nbh file for using in RUU process...

Will it work without total bricking my DOPOD?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] fzzyrn:
as i know it, all the spl flashing methods other than original RUU (it needs to be signed) require a 4+ SPL/IPL. I would just send it in. Changing the string won't work because it's not identified by name but function
