[APP] MakeUpdateZip-20110303 **Multi-file capable**

This is not only my first Android app, but this is also my first dive in Java. Please be gentle as I expect there are several uncaught / improperly handled exceptions.
This app will backup selected files to a zip file that can be restored via cwm. For now, that is all it does. It can be handy for the oc/uv crowd since it will allow you to keep a backup of a good S_volt_scheduler init file to flash in case your new setting are too aggressive. It does not currently restore permissions, nor does it assume root permissions.
todo:
Obtain root to copy any file
Integrate a file selector so read permissions will not be an issue.
Detect/Restore permissions
Possible feature additions:
Create a restore.zip from current files based on an update.zip you want to apply. Could save you from boot loops when messing with system files.
Create a restore.zip given a file, a target directory, and permissions.
I will probably add this to the market once I get through the todos and initial bugs.
Changelog:
20110303
Multi-file capable. OIFileManager does not yet support multi-select, so each file must be selected seperately
Exception caught for mission OIFileManager
_delete.zip file seems to work correctly in recovery
Since I am not yet using root and OIFileManager will not assume root, there are some directories that cannot be viewed, /data/app for example. There are also some files that can be selected but cannot be copied due to their permissions.
Requires OIFileManager

Nice, will be useful

This looks like it could be a useful/powerful app. It could definitely benefit from some features (more than one file/location would be great) but I can see myself using this.
Thanks!

This app will backup 1 file to a zip file that can be restored via cwm. For now, that is all it does. It can be handy for the oc/uv crowd since it will allow you to keep a backup of a good S_volt_scheduler init file to flash in case your new setting are too aggressive. It does not currently restore permissions, so the uses are currently limited.
todo:
Figure out why the _delete.zip does not delete the target file when run via cwm.
Detect/Restore permissions
Possible feature additions:
Enable backup/restore of multiple files
Create a restore.zip from current files based on an update.zip you want to apply. Could save you from boot loops when messing with system files.
Create a restore.zip given a file, a target directory, and permissions.

Can u load the java app here? I can try to look into that and see if I can improve on the exception handling part.

fantastic idea
good job

Thanks for taking a look. Have anyone of you actually tried it?

It fc. On me... :'(

Make sure you install OIFilemanager from the market. I need to catch this exception and provide a link to OIFileManager.

Great App
Want to say thank you for making this. I've had all sorts of trouble getting apps from different roms to install to the system folder on my current rom. Now I can mix and match different apps easily without much pain. Thanks!

You are welcome. I actually have another app in mind to fully address that need, but I want to get further along with this one first. Since I am working on these on stolen time (I don't have any free time), it will take a while.
Since the apps seem to restore without permission issues, I may put that on the back burner. After I complete multi-file support, which of the future features from the op would you like to see first.

[MOD] PRL Write Enabler for Sprint Galaxy S4 [MDC][MDL][MJA]

First off this work is based on Digiblur's PRL Write Enabler from the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum. I simply modified it & packaged it for our Sprint Galaxy S4 devices.
Here is the original S3 post that this was found in... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054
Also, post #8 below provides additional info.
I tested it by flashing with TWRP and it worked on my stock, rooted S4 with the MDC and MDL releases.
If you're on a stock rooted Rom and not using TWRP, you can just copy the HiddenMenu.apk from inside the zip file downloaded into /system/app/ and overwrite the one that's there. (You'll need a root enabled file browser to do this of course).
Thanks to Unknownforce here is a version for MJA...
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291676468
Enjoy!!

This certainly will save me from having to use CDMA WS to switch like I just did yesterday. 55014 was not working well for me in my market so I switched back to 25014.

You mean the install of the zip?
If so, you can pull the APK out of the zip and replace HiddenMenu.apk in the system folder (make a backup first). You may want to also set the permissions to rw-r-r after replacing the system app. Reboot, then you should be good to go.

@ChadH42,
I know it seems like I'm harping on you but I'm really not..
You need to update the OP on - 1. What is this? 2. What does this do? 3. Why is this in the Development Section.. ?
A good OP leads to less questions.. Development Sections aren't for information. That would be considered a Discussion Thread that belongs in General.
Let's keep the Dev section clean from the start.
My suggestion - Edit the OP on the What's/Why's?/How To's and you won't get posts like mine.

To the OP, updated your title as [WIP], and I suggest you provided additional information so that folks aren't bricking their new devices.
I will check in, if you need anything, let me know.

What this MOD does (in case the OP takes a little while to chime in)
What this MOD does is modifies our ##DATA# (select View) menu to allow for the PRL Write option to appear and function. With this menu option, the user can change their PRL on the fly from the device itself by placing a copy of the desired PRL in the root directory of Internal Storage and name it "test.prl" (no quotes), dial ##DATA# (choose View), tap Write PRL, tap the sub-menu option Write PRL ---wait--- and then the device reboots with the test.prl PRL applied upon reboot. Not every PRL works and sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
A tip for multiple PRL options is to, of course, keep a folder of the PRLs you like and keep them labeled in there. Copy the desired PRL to proper place as needed and just remember to rename the copy to "test.prl". Switch back and forth as you please. I hope this helps clear some confusion and helps some find purpose with the MOD like I have.
For a clear set of instructions that I did not want to just copy verbatim, check the link below. Also, if you are having issues with the zip not installing in CWM, just extract the APK from the ZIP (inside the system/app folder), use Root Explorer or your favorite root-access file explorer to place the APK in the APP folder, apply the proper permissions and reboot.
Ref from the GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748516

So I unzipped the file, replaced the hidden menu original apk with the new one, then set permissions, rebooted, then tried ##3282# and the view and edit options do not appear.. .. It just blanks out the items I just entered

I just tried this mod with the Force ROM and it did the same thing (blank options). The only thing I can think of is that it works with the odex version of the stock ROM so maybe its a problem with deodex ROMs of which Force is one.

O okay. Its currently not a necessary thing for me at the moment, just nice for when I travel to Alabama. Hopefully later on someone gets it working on deodex.

I am actually running it on the Rooted Stock DeOdexed ROM. So I don't think it is an Odex/DeOdex issue...might be a Force ROM issue.
Also, moot point for Force ROM (1.0+) anyway because the PRL Write mod is already included with that.

I'm also having this problem and I'm pretty sure it was working this morning. I haven't flashed anything since then.
edit-- I tried:
1. wiping both cache's
2. killing background process "OIThiddenmenu"
neither fixed it.

I reinstalled the stock odex ROM and flashed this again and it worked.

Just an FYI, OP, I get Error Status 6 when trying to flash this via recovery, which indicates one of two things. Either the format of the file is incorrect or there is a syntax error. The syntax looks fine, but opening in basic Notepad shouldn't "look pretty" like it currently does. So it's likely it was edited with a non-Unix-compatible text editor like Notepad or MS-Word...
To make modifications to an updater-script (or just about any Android/Linux files like this) you need something like Notepad++ or gVim.
Anyways, I did a quick test with this, and it does in fact not work on my ROM as it is, but I see why it's failing, but I don't know what exactly it's trying to reference yet. (It fails with an id number instead of a name, so I'll have to de-compile some things to find it.)
I'm not sure it's a ROM issue or a MOD issue yet. (meaning it might have to be updated for each custom ROM, depending on how they are configured) But I'll track it down and update when I can.

I had the error status 6 problem in the beginning and thought I fixed it. You are correct that I used MS WordPad to edit the files.

I think TWRP can read the non Unix type characters, which is why it works on a different recovery.
I'm hoping it's a mod issue and I can just modify the mod to work universally regardless of the rom. But we'll see.

[GUIDE] Download Booster Working!

OKAY guys I got it working. See screenshots. AND FOLLOW THESE STEPS
Update: Recommended only for users with ANCE build version.
You can downgrade using only the AP file without removing any user data (only some system modifications and root, but you can reroot of course).
Known Bugs on ANCE:
Private Mode does not enable.
Update 2: I believe you can enable download booster without replacing your SecSettings.apk and SecSettings.odex files, however this is not yet confirmed. For a guide to do it this way, see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53640392&postcount=98&nocache=1&z=1925545437261462
Requirements:
Use this services.jar NOT the one from the zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vziudszmba2l9zm/services.jar
Root
ES File Explorer (make sure Root Mode is enabled)
v2.1 odex file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582
YMMV, so I recommend copying these four files from your system folder to somewhere safe (external sd or PC) just in case something goes wrong.
GOOD LUCK!
1. Download/unzip the SecSettings.apk, SecSettings.odex, and services.odex files from the zip. Download modified services.jar from here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/vziudszmba2l9zm/services.jar )
2. Copy ALL FOUR files to the /system root folder
3. Fix all permissions to rw-r-r (3 checks in first column, first check in second, rest blank) DOUBLE CHECK THIS ON ALL FOUR(See Attached)
4. Copy SecSettings.apk and SecSettings.odex from the system root folder to the /system/priv-apps/ folder, choose overwrite all.
5. Copy services.JAR from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite again.
6. Copy services.ODEX from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite if asked.
PHONE WILL FREEZE AND REBOOT
Mine reodexed everything "Android is updating apps" on bootup.
?????
Profit.
CLICK THANKS.
btw HUGE thanks to RevelationOmega for doing the hard part!!
Edit: Possible fixes if experiencing issues (not tested or confirmed working) I am on Baseband AND3 with Build ANCE. If you experience issues, try ODIN to ANCE (this will not delete user apps), reroot, update SuperSU binaries, and then follow the steps below. This is exactly what I did when it worked for me (no xposed installed beforehand, only after and all seems well).
TO GET THE QUICKSETTINGS TILE
1. Download SQlite editor (the one in the screenie works best)
2. In apps, find settings storage > settings.db > system
3. Search for notification
4. Choose Notification_Panel_Active_App_List (there are a few VERY similar ones, make sure its the right one.
5. Add NetworkBooster; as seen in screenshot attached.
6. Reboot
TESTING DOWNLOAD BOOSTER
0. Make sure you are connected to WIFI and LTE (Does not work on regular 4G or lower)
1. Open the Play Store
2. Find the app called DCIkonZ (or any app over 30 mb)
3. Install app as normal. You should get a popup as seen in attached and see a toast saying Download Booster enabled...

Has anybody tried this yet?

If your phone didn't reboot on its own then you messed up somewhere. Just start over from square one. Gimme a minute and I'll give you a dropbox link with the stock files.

Thought I had them but I don't. If you have the ATT model, just double check the permissions and youll be fine.

Ok I'm going to try to downgrade, but could you test your gps

Android M preview MPA44I trying to get Viper4Android to work

I came from Android 5.1.0 and had everything working.
I am using Viper4Android for years and always could get it to work... Probably the same now, but for now I didn't succeed.
My upgrade to Android M preview was done without any real preparation. When I took my phone out my pocket 2 days ago it was in a boot screen and asked me for the access code.
When I entered it I saw it was wiping all data of my phone...
Luckily I have Titanium Backup and decided this was also the day to try those previews of Marshmallow.
I copied the the folders Whatsapp and TitaniumBackup to my PC and installed it.
I was pleasantly surprised in the way it restored my desktop, but that was after I had to set my WiFi to a static IP or else I was not getting an IP.
Later I learned that I need to select the "old DHCP-client" to get access.... (why make a new one if the old one works and the new one doesn't?)
I was able to install restore as it was before, but I can't get Viper4Android to work.
I suspect it's something with Selinux.
I restored the app that changes the SeLinux through Titanium (I'm mentioning it as it might be the reason).
It gained root access, but already said it was running in "permissive" mode. Not explicitly, but I could only select enforcing.
Another difference with my previous system is that I don't have that warning all the time that I need to remove that app (the Selinux changer).
I also have root explorer on my phone and that one behaves strange when I set it into "root mode"
Suddenly I can't get straight to the SDCard and when I from root via mnt to my download folder I can see some files with a size, but files I recently downloaded are 0 bytes.
These files have normal sizes when I look at it in normal mode and also when I do an "ls -al" from a terminal session.
The files that have sizes are pushed there using the USB-cable via MTP. The files with 0 bytes are downloaded using Chrome...
I would be interested to know if others have succeeded to get Viper4Android working on this build on the Nexus 6

Thanks.
I would really like to know what part fixed it.

[ROM][WIP] AdvancedStock for HTC 626s (MetroPCS/Cricket)

Wiki with more information about this ROM: http://www.urgero.org/AdvancedStock626
CRICKET USERS:
This ROM works for Cricket Variant phones now.
APN's for Cricket are not enabled in this ROM yet, so follow these instructions to setup the APN's for data & MMS.
Play Store might crash some times, or on first boot, clear the play stores and google service cache in settings
This ROM does not, and will not have Crickets carrier apks.
Take caution using this ROM, I do not have cricket, I have MetroPCS so I cannot test this ROM on Cricket devices.
This ROM for ALL cricket users will require the boot.img linked in the downloads below to get WiFi working properly until further notice.
Instructions for install are the same for MetroPCS AND Cricket users.
Enjoy!
****Version 5 now has some CM12 applications, please enjoy them, I also made slight changes to the libs folder, su.d folder, and added new libs to prep for the CM12 Hybrid rom
Download Links:
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, YOU MUST RESTORE IT FROM TWRP RECOVERY!!!!
Debloated and Rooted System Image(TWRP)(Ver. 5):http://www.mediafire.com/download/k7zfvdf6efr74ni/AdvancedStock626_V5.zip****IF UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION YOU MUST CLEAR CACHE/DALVIK CACHE!!!!***
My Kernel backed up from TWRP: https://www.mediafire.com/?z1697u7dtpfwow1(ONLY DOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE WIFI ISSUES AND MADE A PROPER BACKUP BEFORE HAND!!!!!!!)
Also: you will need 7-zip to unpack this file: http://www.7-zip.org/
For those who have been asking for this: MetroPCS Device Unlock App (Took it off a display model for ya guys )(NOTE: Might need to be installed as a system app! Read the bottom of this post for more info!) (NOTE2: It might need some libs files to install properly, I am working on getting those too.)
****WARNINGS****
If you upgraded your phone past 1.06.1550.7 this firmware will BREAK WiFi!!!!
You always run the risk of bricking a device when using non-oem firmware.
Although I have tested this extensively (And currently using it as my Daily Driver) expect bugs since some important HTC have been removed.
Your kernel version MUST be at 3.10.49-perf-g1363ba7 (Only kernel that has been reported to work properly on this device with THIS firmware so far.)

THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, YOU MUST RESTORE IT FROM TWRP RECOVERY!!!!
How to Restore The New System Image:
If upgrading from a previous version, please be sure to Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache before rebooting to make sure new system apps, and tweaks are properly used.
Download the system image from the link above
Extract the zip file to your external SD Card: (Example: Phone:\Ext_sd\TWRP\backups\)
Reboot into download mode (Vol Down + Pwr)
Select "Reboot into bootloader"
Select "Reboot into Recovery"
Make sure System Read only is not enabled in Mount settings.
Select "Restore" -> Select the Folder you just put on your external SD Card
Wait for a few minutes.
After that is done, go back to the recovery home
Then select "Wipe"
Select "Data", "Cache", and "Dalvick Cache", and "Internal Storage" ONLY (
IF UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION YOU MUST CLEAR CACHE/DALVIK CACHE!!!!)
Slide to wipe.
Then reboot.
Follow android setup as normal
Profit.
Some notes about this Custom Stock ROM:
I could not remove everything because the device itself is using HTC's Framework so some apps had to stay
HTC Launcher is removed, giving up 100MB+ of space.
Some HTC Apps have been removed
New Launcher put in (CM Launcher)(NOT TREBUCHET FROM CM12)
Lots of google apps removed
HTC Keyboard stayed because it was the only keyboard I found that will be active natively out of the box on this ROM (Dont know why)
AdBlocker added
Rooted with SuperSU from Chainfire
about 3.6GB of free space BEFORE system does app updates, and about 2.7GB free AFTER the updates. so still pretty good amount of space left on the phone after.
Super smooth bootup time (About 30 sec or less for me.)
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, YOU MUST RESTORE IT FROM TWRP RECOVERY!!!!
Solving misc issues with the ROM:
You can attempt to flash the boot.img I have linked above to resolve the wifi BUT MAKE A FRICKING BACKUP FIRST BEFORE YOU DO THAT!!!!
APN Fix (MMS/LTE/TETHER): https://www.mediafire.com/?5b9q589337n8gaq This file needs to be restored with APN Backup&Restore. To do this you need to convert APN Backup & Restore into a system app then restore the XML file you downloaded.
Installing the Device Unlock app: Copy the apk to /system/priv-app/DeviceUnlock. If that folder does not exist, feel free to make it and put the APK there.
Enjoy my work? Please donate to me please. Every dollar helps out a bunch. Thank you!

Freakin sweet bro !!
I hope this may work with the T-Mobile 626s to right?.. Same chitt..

In theory it should, but to my understanding the TMO variant and the MetroPCS variant run different kernels, but if you have a working backup then trying can't hurt!
If you can give me the hardware specs and a copy of your system partition then I can see if they would be compatible.

Awesome, if you need any help or even a tester, I'd be glad to help out

if you need a tester let me know.

I think I will need a couple testers, I am planning on releasing a beta system.img (For fastboot: fastboot flash system system.img)
Should be easy, this system.img will just overwrite your current system image. You will need to have an unlocked bootloader for fastboot flash to work properly and you will need to know any tweaks that have been made will be overwritten. I will work on getting a flashable zip ASAP.

Would be happy to test and provide results

my bootloader is unlocked and it would be s-off but when i purchased the key from sunshine the program wasn't working with the metropcs firmware even tho it said it was compatible. just let me know when u get the flash-able files.

Can't wait to try or test I'm game

I am almost done compiling a list of files that can be removed,then I will be removing the files from a base system.img file. After that I will be *hopefully* resizing the default partition table on the phone to give us the maximum amount of space possible for this device.

thats good. my phone is already almost maxed out of space and most of my apps are on my sd card already. i have like 7.35gb used of the 8.00gb the phone has because of all the stock apps that keep getting updated.

all these people shouting "I'll test" are obnoxious.. I'm just saying.
its like a hot chick asking you if you wanna stick it in her butt.. uhhhh , all the time..

I do not know enough coding to to get CM12 running on this phone, but I do known enough to make a custom stock ROM with some tweaks for battery, performance, and the like.

I am a little behind schedule because of work so the ROM release will be mid next week.
I can certainly attempt, but if someone with experience could not do it, chances are I will not be able to do it.
Plus Xposed is still very buggy for Lollipop ROMS (Ours is 5.1)

Fwiw, xposed ran totally fine on my old s2 on all of the lollipop roms (5.0 and 5.1) that I installed. Don't let potential bugs discourage you. Thanks for all of your efforts. Best of luck!
