[BETA 0.5.2 - 8/3] My Android Manager - Complete phone management

My Android Manager 0.5.1
Exsiting users: Please upgrade by downloading http://myandroidmanager.com/app/MAM.exe
New Users: Please download full installation http://myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Public Beta Available : http://www.myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Note: There will be issues for tis build so if you want a perfectly stable application, just wait.
Follow my twitter and you might find sneak leaks =)
To those that have been following and installing:
I am still working on an update system people... Bear with me. It will most likely not come until we are out of beta
What it is:
An application meant to automate all of your phone management needs through the use of ADB. If you are are more comfortable with typing out every command and don't need a easier and quicker way to accomplish it, you dont need this app. It's basically a visual adb commander. Instructions will not come until we are on a stable build. If you have not installed the drivers for your phone correctly, this application will not work. Please search the forum for tips on getting your phone recognized. In the early stages, this program will work best if you have already configured adb and have used it. It is recommended that you move adb.exe to windows/system32 in order to execute adb from any directory. Also, be sure to run this program as administrator!! There will be bugs until version hits 1.0 In later stages the application will be integrated with xda to bring you the latest ROMS to make flashing a click of a button.
Beta Process:
The newest versions will always be released to a small test group to test the efficency before being fully released. This ensures that everyone gets a stable and working application. While it sounds like it has its advantages, I do ask that you fully test and take note of changes in your system when bugs do occur. A great beta tester tries to look for errors to make it easier on the developer when tracing the root of the problem. A great beta tester, and a develpers friend =), doesn't just say a certain feature isn't working. THose who are still interested, contact me whichever way you prefer

if you can just make a program for
- Format sd card fat32/ext2/3
i will love you!
Other than that, this sounds really cool and would be very useful! Good luck on it and hope to see it soon especialy with the daily Rom updates hahahaha

i agree

this should all be possible but most likely using the sdsplit method. I will do some testing on some spare sd cards I have

that would be cool. I guess you can make an adb bat script to download and install the sdplit.sh and then run it. That would be possible
EDIT: You should also add a nandroid backup and restore option. There is already a GUI for it but if you integrate it with your program i would use it constantly!

Id say add the linux-swap creation too. Cause it seems to be the future in how we all partition it now. Side request tho, FTP backup/restore option, I know since Im between home and work, I upload everything to my FTP. Now that would be nice to have something automate that work for me so I always have it safe and can access it anywhere.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I plan on implementing them

Added nandroid backup/restore to feature list.
ADB check/install is currently coded and working
Edit: All Done! System enviroment variables will be changed when ADB installed. Note: This will not correct the error of the driver being incorrectly installed. This happens when you dont enable debugging on your android phone and plug it up for the first time.
To fix this, you must delete some registry settings in order for adb to be recognized correctly.

This app will be made of pure win! I can't wait to see it! I know I'm new around here but I will do what I can to help this community as it has also helped me quite a bit with many different phones.
If only we could get this application completed, and a Hero ROM for the Dream, I'm pretty sure I'd drop a nut right here in this thread lol!

New screenshot added and FTP upload/download feature will be added to the list.

Speaking of the FTP, It might be a good idea to allow "Sync with FTP" so this way if your at work, vola it syncs with that folder kinda like a imap server. =)

Must admit, I am very impressed ^_^ Wish I could code as my previous job had positions open for it but its something that doesn't appeal to me, yet I have nothing but great admiration to those who can.
Keep up the good work ^_^

Great idea! Will work it into the project feature list.

This looks like such an awesome program! Good luck!

a suggestion, contact aTrackdog, maybe you can run ties with each other. Since they have good version monitoring, info etc this could tie in possibly. Just a thought. =)

You mean tie this in with android software updates? Def. a possibility. It would make it an all-around android windows application for the Dream..
Tomorrow I will begin android backups and ftp syncing... The hardest will be handling the formatting of SD cards. I have some code (besides sdsplit) that may allow this. I have plenty of backup sd's to test this on

Ok this just looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. I cannot wait to test this out . Good job on this. I have a question though, how does it know when there will be a new version and how would it get the changelog?

a very tricky method and a lot of code that stratefically looks through the XDA web site for changes in the original thread. The installed program will connect to an online database upon startup that checks for updates but the process that actually does the scanning will be on my pc. The application will be replicating the database server. It knows what the old changelog was so any new text will be added to the changelog.
It's a tricky procedure but its been working VERY well in my tests. Of course this wont account for new ROMS that are added so I will have to check periodically for new ROMS. The app will still allow you to flash a ROM you download.
Hopefully once it's up and running, the dev's will get involved. I can give them an app to update the information the application is pulling in. It would be a win win for devs as they can track amount of downloads..

Dude this is going to be soo sick can't wait hopefully every dev will use it

something else that could be implemented into this is a prompt or warning advisory that goes alongside each rom. like if it's a hero rom, it prompts you to make sure you have the correct spl, radio, and whatnot installed first. and if you don't have one installed, it will install the necessary things for you prior to installing the rom so that it will help prevent a brick or something.
yeah... something like that....

[REQ] Some Blackstone Cooks to HELP in Testing Extendir Drivers

Many of you may have heard about Extendir by now, if not read more in the link below. I have been doing a lot of testing trying to help Shadrac the developer to get good working versions for our Blackstone. So far it seems to work good on some devices and not so well on some. We are getting close to a working version and I would like to ask for some help from my fellow Blackstone chefs to get more results and speed things along.
These Extendir drivers have great potential and combined with the PresetInstaller it gives the user a lot of flexability on installing and uninstalling programs which may only be needed once.
Extendir cabs is also great but it is a learning experience as to which packages work well cooked in after and some can be partially cooked in and partially installed after.
You can find more information here and follow the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530710
Thanks for your help.

I'll help, I want to cook a 6.1 ROM based on the Extendir principal.
What do you need me too do? What do you expect me too do? Have a good boot.rgu for me?

The best thing is to follow the instructions in the thread. It will be good to know how it works on 6.1 as well. I'm only using 6.5 so I don't know if My boot.rgu will help you but I can give it to you if you need. What ever questions you have just ask me or in the thread. I use Ervius Visual kitchen so you don't have to edit the boot.hv file as in the instructions.
Thanks for your help.

No sweat, I have been looking at the extendir for quite some while now. But never really worked on it.
I found the boot.rgu you posted in the thread. I will try it right now.

Here is my boot.rgu. There are 2 different one I have been using. There are some modifications from original like Reflsd Entries are removed etc.

Thanks guys for your support!
I released a new test version, Test13.

Ok guys I will start a test now, it will be a fully cooked ROM with extendir included, just too make sure it boots and keeps booting.

Hi EpiphanyNL,
Thanks for testing!
Just a few questions:
Did you used the Test13 build?
Bootphase is that on both places to 1?
Did you add wince.nls back to your xip?
Which kitchen are you using?
What OS build are you using?
If you want to, I could check your boot.rgu if you post it.
Thanks,
ShaDrac

Hi ShaDrac,
Thank you for the efforts you are making to produce a quicker mobile! I really see future in this way of installing, I have a question though, will it be possible in the future, to make the cabs included in the ROM and run like a sort of autorun, or run cc? Removing them from the device after that's done, that way chefs can setup the device like they prefer and users would still be able to remove/install applications the extendir way.
To answer your questions:
Did you used the Test13 build? - Yes I did
Bootphase is that on both places to 1? - Yes they are
Did you add wince.nls back to your xip? - checked it twice, its in there
Which kitchen are you using? Using ervius kitchen
What OS build are you using? Using a ported xip/sys 21048 base OS is 20776
I used the boot.rgu and boot2.rgu (ofcourse renamed it) bob posted earlier here.
Hope this helps.

Hmmm, strange...
And if you are using your own boot.rgu and applied these setting?
I'm not sure but if I can recall it correctly there was a problem with UC. Don't know for sure...
But if you removed everything that has to do with customization...
Maybe it was something with autoshortcut or autorun... can't remember at the moment. (probably need to go to bed)
I hope Bob knows, he had the same problems early on, but I think he's not awake for another hour.
btw Test14 builds posted in Extendir thread.
Good luck and thanks for testing!

Hi,
I can test this on monday I hope. Then I will have some time again to do elaborate testing!

Send me your boot.rgu Epiphanynl. Your original that works without Extendir. Also your boot.ms.rgu in ROM \Shared\MSXIPKernel.
Have you removed any packages from either MSXIPKernel or OEMXIPKernel?
The boot .rgu I sent i for 6.5 not sure if it will work.
Are you using Preset Installer to install any cabs? If so try to do it without Preset Installer first. If you have it set to Automatically Start just select Exit Left Soft Key when it comes up.
Thanks for your help
Mine is working great on VTest 13 trying Test 14 now.

I modified your boot.rgu and placed it in my kitchen and it booted and woorked well. I did not change any of your cache values or remove any of the Relfsd Keys like I do in my rom.

Definately some improvement. Your graphics score can be higher, depends on what drivers you are using. Mine is spin lock patched and using gmxdma from nue tools. When you get some of the bigger programs out of windows you will notice even more speed. My index is not almost to 1400.

[Kitchen] Aero Visual Kitchen 5

Hi everyone!
I'm Here to present you new version of my kitchen, called AeroKitchen!
After you download you will see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course newest build 23563 is attached.
In this version I changed:
- Removed BuildOS, replaced by my own engine called HimaBuilder.
- Added automatic rom version change
- Multilanguage support (\LANG folder)
- Added author info d)
What would not work (experimental)
- Building release of all languages, it takes much time and fails sometimes (sometimes only language of 409 will be build, non sense)
What not work/is removed:
- EXT support isn't ready yet to see the Xdadevs light.
- XIP automatic porting too.
Adding lanuguages into this kitchen:
Download any rollup which will match with your system version (6.1, 6.5, 6.5.x)
Look at \LANG\409 folders and copy same names of folders but with your lanugage into \LANG\YourLangage, example \LANG\408
Now download initflashfiles for all lanugages pack, and find your lanugage there.
Create new folder in \LANG\YourLanguage, and paste there your initflashfiles.
Now open this initflashfiles in notepad and save it as initflashfiles.txt.
Remove initflashfiles.dat.
Now go to LANG\409\OEM_Lang_0409 and copy all except initflashfiles.txt
You really mustn't overwrite initflashfiles.txt!
Paste files you copied into folder where you have initflashfiles.txt.
Run the kitchen and select your language id, now kitchen is ready to go

Otherwise, I could have asked you my friend, after trying luby at second attempt.

aero visual kitchen the best! BUT how to remove icons
i have now got the hang of your excellent Aero Visual Kitchen 5 but can u please let me know how to remove the feedback and error reporting icons out of the settings tab in the startmenu.
i have tried just deleting the icons using total commander but the folder shows no icons.
maybe the icons are in a .dll like shellres .96.dll or shellres.dll.0409.mui.
i have seen talk of how u can change or extract icons using res hacker
any ideas of which .dll or .exe or .mui need changing or deleting as having even one of feedback or error reporting in Aero Visual Kitchen 5's final output in my mind spoil's it.

initflashfiles.txt, you should search in those

i have now managed to remove the feedback and error reporting icons.
at first i thought it was just a matter of deleting the "Start_Icon_ " .png" for feedback and error reporting ie.
Start_Icon_Watson.png
and
Start_Icon_Feedback.png
in the kitchen and tweeking the initflashfiles.txt.
but that did not work. i have found that feedback and error reporting icons are also in "shellres.96.dll" so i had to use ROMExtractor,reshacker,mSigner and UnSigner to remove them after ROM install.
the resulting tweeked "shellres.96.dll" was then copy from my desktop pc and overwrite the original one on himalaya.
had to install "sdkcert.cab" also.
i also deleted in the kitchen before install-
ceipui.exe
dw.exe
dwxfer.dll
which are also part of feedback and error reporting.
does anyone know of a way of tweeking "shellres.96.dll" before ROM install as when i go to it on my desktop pc it is a folder with the title shellres.96.dll and in it these files
imageinfo.bin
imageinfo.txt

no .dll that i can change with reshacker

Also you always can find ENABLE=1; in registry, eh

a bit more info?
can u be a bit more precise ENABLE=1; in registry,
which section of registry HKLM etc.
do u mean registry in kitchen before install if so which file or folder is the post install registry kept or do u mean the registry on himilaya after install of ROM?
THANKS

aeroflyluby,
Thank you for your work!
I could not do any russian ROM using the kitchen Aero Visual Kitchen 5 or Aero Visual Kitchen.Confusing many different folders, which can be forgotten.ROM with 0419.mui is going, but after flashing the device - a white screen.
Do,please 3 folder SYS, ROM, OEM.he new ROM(core) do - I do not know how to port XIP (many times I tried to do).Very interesting and just came up with Barin program "OS Builder"___wmclub.co.ua/index.php?newsid=1864_______
(have any new kitchen for the ASUS).You're like a programmer can adapt it for Himalaya?

It is holiday time, I drink, have fun, fu.. girls and play around, I have no time to cook, so please, be patient, or just understand that I really want to forget (bout her).

Did you install newest .NET? 2.0 at least, 3.5 recommended.

Aerokitchen 6 beta test :)

Hi
OMG Sorry I forgot to add password again
PASSWORD IS aerofly
Welcome to beta testing thread of aerokitchen 6.
First of all, link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/zQ-85Lyz/Aero6_Beta_pass_aerofly.html
Source is provided too.
Okay, the build is almost the same as previous kitchen release, but there is some really important technical differences:
XIP is really clean now, there was a boom of inneded **** inside, so I deleted it and placed wince.nls there. It saves sectors and boot time jupi
Also, kitchen now automatically updates file records in xip.
If you want to add something to xip as file:
Place a file in
SYSTEM\ROM\OUT\FILES
now create file named YourFile.YourExtension.imageinfo.txt
and fill it like this :
File name: yourfile.yourextension
dwFileAttributes: 00000007
ftTime: 01C90F33A4D5E600
nRealFileSize: 00043156
nCompFileSize: 00043156
lpszFileName: P+00195FEC
ulLoadOffset: P+002628E4
Kitchen will relocate it and update size. Good <ok>
Also xip is built ON THE FLY when building a rom, so any changes will automatically apply.
Because of xip auto rebuild, ramdisks don't work anymore (as in beta stage :<) But it is easy to recover that functionality.
Boot.hv does not exists now, boot.rgu is decompiled boot.hv, any changes made in boot.rgu (SYSTEM\ROM\BOOT) will apply while rom creation.
Also main stability of built roms increased a lot.

When it stoped responding, xip has built beautiful words lol, we should sing it loud
The xip built has finished already
We are set, we are ready
to build new awesome rom
as beautiful as a bloom
A process take a long time
My laptop feels a battery drain
But a time that my rom has flashed
It smells good, as I wished.
Play as chords d Bb F d Bb C
Lol!

Awesome! The himalaya upgrade song!
I am now just flashing the rom your kitchen built.

Do you know the picture that is in the upgrade tool?
the manila?
Is there a himalaya rom with that in or is this tool from another device?

it Works, but at boot it takes about 15 minutes to run (to boot a phone lol), so it is useless at all.

hmmm... so it could be that there isn't enough storage on the himalaya. Because i have noticed that when my storage was nearly full the hima was really slow.
I have also found this manila customizer:

So build this version and release
ps, net cf 3.5 is included anyways.
I include error reporting and feedback because I love to release stock roms, as it comes it releases, just changed wallpaper and some messed images as buttons etc )
Anyway, I have never disabled this functions, I remembered how to disable but I forget.

just some feedback on kitchen.
i have noticed that the resulting ROM that comes out of it has the older wm 6.1 lock screen and not the tap and slide lockscreen.
what up with that?
and also in the TEST folder of the kitchen you seem to have left a lot of unneeded files like..
three sets of "RUULog.log" and one "Upgrade.7z" and one "Upgrade.rar" you are most likely planning to delete unneeded files from the kitchen on the final release i just thought i would mention in case you have overlooked them.
the smaller the download the better and all that!
keep up the great work...

Oh no you facked up the rom It has 6.5 lockscreen, you may not cook if you can't, okay?
I know I overcooked a lot of my debugs.

ok ok ok
ok you where right bro.
i recooked and reflashed and the lockscreen and everything so far is all good.
all i did was swap the defult theme files for the "hollblack theme" files (use search for hollblack theme on xdadev its quite a good theme) and that seems to have busted the kitchen somehow.
oh well we live and learn!
any ideas how this could of happened?

Maybe theme use another lockscreen?
TSK files is cab files, you can dump it with ervius cab to oem or something, or edit with any CAB editor. Try to check there are no lockscreen entry in theme (or in registry of theme)

changing the registry in Aerokitchen 6 beta test ?
hey aeroflyluby.
can you tell me which file in Aerokitchen 6 beta is the registry so i can try changing,deleting etc. with a registry app like registry workshop.
i know that it is easy to change registry once the rom has been installed on device but i want to be able to tweek it in the kitchen.
it will also help with what we are doing in the thread "[Q] some .exe that could be removed from most himalaya rom's ?"
i know in Aerokitchen 6 beta that there is a registry window but i cant work out how to use it ?
any ideas?
i know that the registry in this-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378498
in this it can be done easy in registry workshop that puts the registry in a more easy to read format.
merged with next post...
hey aeroflyluby ...
i see in your Aerokitchen 6 beta test that there is no "welcomehead.96.png" in-
SYSTEM\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320
is this the way it should be?
today i used Aerokitchen 6 beta test and added a "welcomehead.96.png" to-
SYSTEM\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320
and the "welcomehead.96.png" showed up at install no problem.
so is this a oversight or have i got it wrong maybe?

To fix busybox problem on webtop2sd version 1.1.0, you may need to run these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16400816&postcount=464

cool. no doubt this will be a popular thread..
hopefully the webuntu 11.10 thread is even more popular lol

fix busybox dependencies with Stephen's Busybox installer app
ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox so that /system/bin/mountosh knows where to look for busybox to mount the new partition.
Use installer to put busybox in /system/bin. Right now it's probably installed under /bin.

I started a doc this weekend when I was rebuilding my phone. These are the steps I used. I used them again last night after I whorked up my webtop.
And I have to do them again right now since I just updated Aura to 1.1.0. Copying and pasting is so much easier off one document.
This doc basically is a compilation of the threads of how to do everything. Just jammed in one doc.
And it has worked for me. So use at your own risk, all warnings that have been stated in the quoted threads apply.
PM to me corrections if necessary and I'll update. I was typing the same time I was applying the mods. I've read it a couple of times, looks good to me but I'm biased.
Here it is......

I used the program to install 1.19 in system/bin, but i dont know what that means
ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox so that /system/bin/mountosh knows where to look for busybox to mount the new partition.

Is that a command im supposed to run? If so, where does it begin, in -s or in in? Can i do that in android terminal emulator?

The command is 'ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox' creates a symbolic link to the busybox binary (installed in /system/bin/) to the link in /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox. You can read more about it by doing a 'man ls' on any ubuntu box or on http://manpages.ubuntu.com.
This shouldn't be required, but for some reason, paths don't show up and it's a workaround that I've confirmed works. Sogarth is working on a fix for this in an upcoming version of WebTop2SD. Until then, try my suggested fixes...
Hope this helps,
Alex

About to attempt this on my phone, wish me luck. Perhaps I'm asking for a flaming, but I was wondering if it would be possible to package this into a newb friendly zip. Or if developers could include it in their roms? I enjoy using ubuntu on my laptop and would love to replace webtop with it.

I actually have steps 1 & 3 done in what will be the working version of Joe's webtop mod v2, as my last one didn't work that well and I thought I owed it to Joe to give him a working one. If you're brave, you can moto-flash this now.
*removed* - not working for me or jruweaver.
I say brave because I have yet to flash it myself, I'm unlocking my wife's 1.8.3 right now so I can, but it'll take awhile to do so. I'll post it in Joe's thread once I've confirmed it works.
Worse comes to worse, it won't work and you'll need to flash Joe's v1 again...
Hope this helps,
Alex

Thank you, will post my results.
EDIT: I flashed it successfully but nothing appears to have changed(had joe's version installed). Did I forget something?

Hmmm... flashed a couple of times on mine, got nothing, just like you described... Did it again a final time and now webtop is dead... Removing for now...

Im exercising deep patience here, but I dont know what to do anymore. I unninstalled the script and the app, then began it from scratch. First created the webtop2sd folder, then installed busybox on /bin, then executed the command to create the link. Installed webtop2sd, executed with partitioning and formatting, rebooted the phone, told to reinstall configurator, reboot again, and still, when clicking the configurator on webtop, nothing happens. =|
Im starting to teach myself how to use google docs, looking up office 365 too, because this just isnt working...

Would it be possible to use the backtrack mod with this? I finally got everything working, but having backtrack would seal the deal.

Used qume and other methods for launching a windows image even had micro xp all the way to installation with qume mimicking the 32-bit minimal specs but it kicked out half way through expanding the copied files realistically the specs arnt enough to support a full vm through qume or vb though when and if the next windows is cross platform on arm and 32-bit and 64-bit we may or may not be able to try a windows vm through qume or vb. Though to skip installation all together track down standalone xp it launches in a windows platform without installation using qume and try booting the image in ubuntu I haven't matched the specs to get it booted its missing something I have a link I can pm from my dropbox (I doubt it after trying several attempts myself but hell your welcome to try)
