[FIX] Google Goggles Fix / Deleting files permanently POC - G2 and Desire Z Android Development

As promised, I have posted a fully working proof of concept of removing items from /system on NAND / EMMC locked devices with only temproot / root.
Details are here: http://android.modaco.com/content/t...m/322030/02-oct-r1-g2-google-goggles-remover/

Let the feeding frenzy, begin!
This is going to be a great day!
And @Paul,
I really appreciate your contributions, this is wonderful news... but btw, I think you meant "Nov" on your MoDaCo post. It's November...

Again, Paul never ceases to amaze us! You the man Paul!!!

I've updated the linked topic with how it works too.

question @ Paul so in theory can all unwanted apps be removed in a similar manner ? if so what steps would be necessary ? Thanks in advance and BTW thanks for contributing as always

That's fantastic! I can't wait to remove the bloatware from my g2! Any way to make a universal app that allows you to select the program to be removed? I'm not sure what sort of code that was involved with making your app work, but it seems like you could make a script based on the app that a user selects (like amazon mp3 or google earth).

That's exactly what he's working on. Patience, people.

Paul, you are fantastic. I'm more than happy to donate what I can for all your work. And I think its great you are using those donations to support childhood leukemia. A great cause.

And should I manage to full root, that's where the 'bounty' would go too.

Thanks Paul.

I'm not being impatient, just making a suggestion. I figured he would be doing something along those lines, but I don't make too many assumptions.

How will this affect the OTA should they decide to include a fix for the goggles problem. Could there be a problem patching files that aren't there?

Thanks for all your hard work

I tip the burger I am eating in your favor! Awesome work!! I already used it, and updated goggles.

This is terribly brilliant. I read the explanation of the mechanism on the other forum - fooling the G2 into deleting files permanently from /system.
So the question is, are there any specific files in /system that, if deleted, could open up a further vulnerability to full root? This just got a lot more interesting

Any change of getting an app to remove all the bloatware in one shot?

No, when the phone is turned on, at some point the filesystem is turned to read only. As i understand it, they dont know what flips the switch at this point. esentially, we do actually know how to root the device, we just dont know how to accept writes to the system. paul has simply figured out how to trick the system into deleting files before the system turns into write protected. we still cant add anything to it, though.

[MOD] How to add Cyberon Voice Commander to Virtuous Fusion

What’s needed:
Root Explorer (or ADB for you veterans)
A measure of common sense.
Virtuous Fusion (any version)
Fingers
Alright kids, here we go.
1) Download the attached VoiceCommander.apk
2) Download this zip and extract the file.
3) Use root explorer to move VoiceCommander.apk to /system/app.
4) I gave it rwxrwxr-x permissions (just in case)
5) Move the contents of your extracted lib2 file to /system/lib. Do not move the actual lib2 folder to /system/lib. Your phone won't blow up, the mod just won't work.
6) Reboot.
7) Enjoy.
If using ADB (assuming you downloaded the files to your ADB directory):
1) adb push VoiceCommander.apk /system/app
2) adb push \lib2 /system/lib/
3) fix permissions
4) reboot.
5) Enjoy. lol
There are more than the necessary lib files needed to run Cyberon Voice Commander included in the lib2.zip. This was done on purpose as I’m still testing to find out what other apps I can bring over from the LEAKED Canadian Official Glacier 2.3.3 / 2.1 VANILLA Sense ROM to Virtuous Fusion.
Please click the Thanks button if this helped you out.
Thank you TrueBlue_Drew, ckisgen, eViL D, Football and also anyone else I may have inadvertently left out. You guys rock.
eVil D, please feel free to add this (and anything else I find) into your next Virtuous Fusion update.
If any of you guys want to package this into a flashable .zip file, just let me know and I’ll credit you and add it into the OP.
Finally, the standard disclaimer:
I am not responsible for your phone bricking (I'd truly be amazed if you figured out how to do this by following my instructions and would likely ask for your autograph if you did so), your phone boot-looping, anything Donald Trump says, your first born being born with 13 fingers and 4 toes (exactly), or your girlfriend leaving her cell phone at my place (I reminded her to take it off my night stand).
Side note: Cyberon can map to your genius button if you're using 1.0.2
____________________________________________________________
HTC Locations works as well. However, the widget does not.
Download
Extract
Push to /system/app/
give it rwxrwxr-x permissions
reboot.
Worked like a charm. Good instructions. Nice Interface vs Genius.

Thanks! I played around with this in the other ROM, but decided I liked Virtuous better. That damn lockscreen/carousel combination is just too damn pretty. Anyway, I liked it enough to bring it over.
Thanks I like having a bit more than just google search!
question is it able to read your text messages aloud like the original genius app does when hands free mode is toggled?

I initially tried the genius/dragon 'dicktation' .zip install but that didn't work. I haven't looked much into it yet though. Currently working on this Netflix situation. Will probably look into Genius in a little bit.

Porting Roms from *** To the Evo

I assume this is the correct forum otherwise please move this.
What is the best article(s) to read if you want to start learning how to port roms from other android phones to the Evo? I've been searching on here and on google and it seems most articles are either outdated or only talk about editing existing cooked roms so I finally broke down and posted this. Yes I do use Linux and I do program in Java and .NET and do have a bachelors in software development but I have just never looked into doing this type of work until now.
Thank you, any direction I'm pointed in is appreciated.
I'll direct to you the Q&A forum.
Side Note:This goes in General,but im nice so ill answer you question.
There is no real BOOK to read, a java book is a good start, but you say you know java, so you can probably skip that.
Basically, this is all you have to do.
Download "Dsixda's Kitchen" to your linux distro(amazing software)
Grab a rom from another device.
Grab one of our(evo)stock roms(deodexed Stock 3.70 is good for froyo port,4.12 for gingerbread)
Open the kitchen, and find the option(#19 i think it is), and follow the steps to port it(hold on, your not done yet)
From there you will need do some manual work by tinkering with libs,tinkering with the boot.img, bascally just tinkering with everything related to booting(libs,ramdisk,hw-libs,etc.) untill you can get it to boot or bootloop.
If it boots, thats great, if it bootloops, youlle need to logcat it then debug it.
If you need help with something, pm me, other than that, thats basically(*note: i said basic, more complexed roms like sense 3.0 and non-htc device rom may require extra work)(*note2:alot of times, its going to be a no-booter, but just keep trying.)

Don't forget some of the most important stuff is in the build.prop and update-script.
Word of advice, look at a sense 2.1 and check out the base that was used. You can also use beyond compare and basically skip Linux all together. Using kitchen to deodex the ruu is a good first step. Choose option 11 in the menu.
Personally, I would start off with a working port and changing apps and moving stuff around. Also get a good list at which libs are associated with what. But use stock bins, etc, xbin, hw libs, and ported apks, framework, and software associated libs. Stock boot.img and a good updater-script. Also know key
Things like the EVO density is 160, vold_stab is usb, amkd is rotation, gsl hw accel stuff like that.
But first things first, Google is ur friend and use the q&a section.

ah yes, forgot about build.prop,and i think the kitchen takes care of updater script(unless the device has specific mount pointsor you want text or to clear cache and system). i was just getting the basics to boot, from ther he can debug the errors out of the log.
What about something A LOT simpler like adding the CRT animations to a ROM? any pointers? Any TUT you can point me to?

Mods are quick to move and people are quick to flame but I say leave it, where else is the knowledge pool? Can you really learn this stuff in Q and A seems like it would be mostly help my phone doesn't boot...

Check out the APKTool, APKManager threads. Lots of great valuable information in there.
I sometimes wish XDA focused more on the "HOW TO" and less on the delivery aspect. The more folks developing, the further we will be along
Another great way to get started is to mentor with another established developer.

Well said. People love to flame anyways and XDA is famous among other Android forums for being so harsh. This thread helped me out big time, and it's especially nice to see Leoisright and myn in here giving up a few pointers, because I too was curious about porting. I never worked up the confidence to ask, just too worried about it being passed over or getting flamed because I'm young and curious.

NO CIQ? How to verify?

I came across a Lookout Carrier IQ Detector which I ran on a few custom ROMS that have had the CIQ removed but the utility claims I have it even after running the CIQ removal zip via Clockwork mod. How is this possible and how can we truly verify that CIQ is removed from our roms/devices?
Thanks in advance

just wait for soviet nyan cat. he'll get it closed. It will report the bits of the shell that k0nane had to leave for your system to work. they are empty directories though. It's seeing their existence.
To be a little more helpful.
All custom ROMs have CarrierIQ removed/disabled.
There are however, inert .so (library) files that must be kept in order to have a booting ROM.
These are what CIQ detectors find.

This is just an educated guess. But an .so file is a linked library. So, there are parts of code that link to these files and call functions in them - functions that are normally part of the CIQ logging. Some function has to be there to be called, or else the calling code would likely fail. When MikeEx says there are "inert" so files in place of the normal files, that probably means a dev has stripped out the CIQ code in those function calls and left them there doing nothing, instead of recording data for CIQ. But there still needs to be an empty function there to call or other code in the OS that calls these functions would break.

Thank you for the informative replies. Makes sense that directories left behind would be needed and be detected as CIQ. Thanks again and my apologies for posting in the wrong section. It's rare for me to post unless I deem the subject critical in this case it was to me. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

			
				
Voodoo Carrier IQ detect seems to be the most thorough app out there. Dont trust sprint or anyone for that matter. It costs nothing but a little time for some knowing or Peace of mind like Marcusants post it will be there all the time.
Most EI22 roms, including my own, have built around K0nane's ciq removal process. As mentioned, several files must remain with remnants that the detector may find. What you may not quite understand, is that the potentially malicious CIQ is much more integrated the already-Samsung-modified Android system.
In short, full removal of dead (trust me, it's dead) remains from the entirety of the system is much more involved than you may think and more likely to cause problems than to give you peace of mind.
And again, Q&A section please.

You have to explain why if you're going to post it!
The thing that messes up the score on the Voodoo detector is calls to Sprintandroidextensions.apk. If you remove or freeze that file you can get consistent scores of 70 but you will not be able to update PRL or profile and it will cause some problems with Visual Voicemail initializing. If K0nane says it's gone, then it's gone. The detector doesn't know how to look for apps actually sending information which they no longer do.

If you read through what it says about packages, drivers, Kernel, etc.. you can see with most of the ROMS that there is nothing in the critical areas and nothing active and the Carrier IQ removal tool posted does neuter this thing by slicing off the balls but it still leaves the penis. Goodby IQ have fun in court.
very annoying, thanks alot.

[GUIDE] Beginner's Guide For The HTC One X

Hi.
This is the guide I made for the Desire S forum to help newcomers to Android and HTC. It turned out to be quite popular and helpful, so I have given it a tweak for the One X and put it here for your benefit. It’s in .pdf format so you can download it and read it on your phone at your leisure.
Again this is only for people coming from Nokia, iPhone, Blackberry etc. I’m pretty certain that this device is going to tempt a lot of people away from them. If you’ve owned an Android before this will all be known to you.
Hope it helps!
P.S. This dropbox link will expire every couple of months. If you have problems downloading, let me know. I’ll get the link refreshed ASAP.
Link updated 9th May
Download link: http://db.tt/K7U6Z76L
Updated link so it should work again. Let me know if it stops and i'll refresh it.
Think I posted it too soon for most people to find. This is a VERY busy forum.
Happy to help.
I probably fall under the list of people who do not need to follow this guide. But alone the fact that one of the first things i read was not to install a task killer goes to prove that this is well worth a read for 'noobs'.
Hahaha! That was one of the first mistakes i actually made on my android phone, i installed a task killer.
Oh! Gotya Facetrap, i'm so installing that.

If it's even a little bit helpful then I'm happy!
I simply adjusted it from the Desire S guide I did.
I would like to have people post their new-comer stumbles and discoveries here. God knows I went through enough myself. Two years ago I thought an apk was an assault rifle!
If they are worth the addition then I'll periodically update this guide to include them (giving credit to the sources of course) and it should grow into quite a useful starting point from people finally putting their iPhone down.
It'll help me improve and evolve this beginners guide to help other newcomers from tripping on the same hurdles as us. We all started somewhere!
Note: This is not meant to include stuff on rooting, unlocking, flashing etc. This is already covered in sufficient detail here on XDA. This is just about getting started.
To be honest, i really enjoyed this guide.
It's actually really helpful. Love some of the Apps you've listed, much better than the "top 50 android apps" i've encountered using google search.
The power management part was also of help. Didn't know of the "*#*#4636#*#* part.
Thanks!
Great guide, however, the wifi sleep policy advice can be confusing. Your guide says to set wifi sleep to "never". However, the option on screen refers to staying awake, not sleeping. Users should actually select "always"
Easy to work out but it may confuse noobs.
nice!!
thanks for the work and share!!
Handy guide, soo is tasker your app? Cmon you have to be some sort of benefitery
I actually heard about Tasker from an AT&T rep when I went in to change my plan. Awesome app, and this guide helped me learn about the loveliness that is exit task. I actually made a separate profile to undo what my work profile did. Good to know I can just make an exit task . I learned something today, woot! Once my battery test is done, i'll mess with it a bit more. Running the test because I am curious, battery runs fine for me so... 10min in, only 3% down.

That's how it used to be worded on older android phones, which of course caught me out when I switched to the HOX.

I actually heard about Tasker from an AT&T rep when I went in to change my plan. Awesome app, and this guide helped me learn about the loveliness that is exit task. I actually made a separate profile to undo what my work profile did. Good to know I can just make an exit task . I learned something today, woot! Once my battery test is done, i'll mess with it a bit more. Running the test because I am curious, battery runs fine for me so... 10min in, only 3% down.

Yeah some Roms have features that take over from Tasker. Sense 3.5 had that power management for battery low. It's gone in sense 4 (apart from that hidden menu but no one knows when it kicks in) so Tasker resumed that roll. It's just handy for filling the gaps in a Roms functionality, if like me, you can't write a line of code to save your life! Things like gps off when exiting navigation, and underclocking when using navigation AND charging (which makes my phone run VERY hot).

[REQUEST] testers for app

Well as the title say I need some testers. I'm developing an app which one for now works with, Galaxy Nexus Maguro, but I need some Toro and Toroplus testers. (Since my nexus is maguro and I can't try it) also if any of you have a SGS3 I will appreciate if you test it as well since it suppose to work with the SGS3.
What you need
Samsung Galaxy Nexus rooted and/or Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted.
What you need to do
Simple, just start the app (App Test) you will see a text that says: ----Notifications---- and under that text other text that says TEST Notification.
1. You need to see a toggle button at the right of the second text.
2. When you turn on the toggle you have to see a notification that says: Notification ONLINE
3. When you turn off the toggle the notification should be clear.
What if I don't see something about the 3 points above?
Post what you see, and tell me what the Toast message says. I will see and try to fix it.
PLEASE POST IF IT WORKS AND IF IT DOESN'T​
App is attached.
Thanks

You might want to mention what the app does to give people an incentive to download it.

Well this one does nothing, just to know if it works. If you download it you will see that it does nothing. I don't think I need it since it just to know if a code works.
But this is one part of a app that I'm developing, which one have so far a few of root tools, but it will include a lot of root tools.
Dont think this thread should be in this development section....needs to be moved to some other section.
It works TOROPLUS.

Perfect, just what i wanted to read :good:
So basically, you are searching for people to test an app which needs root, access the internet but supposedly does nothing?
Don't count on me to fall in that kind of trap.

lol sorry forgot to eliminate that permission from the test manifest (its from the main app), but whatever you want to think. I'm searching for testers not to write my app since its not out yet.
EDIT: actually where do you get that from? I'm seeing my manifest now and it doesn't have that permission??

What is this app intended to do? I don't feel safe giving an app root access without knowing exactly what your intentions behind the app are.

wow is amazing how people trust so little in other person... the root access is to read if a file exist... then returns access to the toggle button to see the toast. So if the user don't know the phone info it can give it to me easy so I know in what device it works...

??? If I doesn't why am I posting it here?
As a developer you should already know that giving root access to an app, of which its purposes are unknown, can be dangerous. The paranoia normal users (like me) have is not unfounded. That being said, I'm not trying to accuse you of anything at all. It's just that slightly more clarification would be appreciated before you ask for someone to install apps that request for root rights.
// edit: Oh, and I'll be available if you need more maguro devices for testing.
OP you do realize that you've posted this in the wrong section.. do you?
There is a whole seperate section for apps/games in xda.
Best Regards.

Sounds to me like op is trying to start working on something and is requesting testers so can see what works and what doesnt one step at a time instead of finishing the whole thing and having to go back thru a bunch of crap to track down the offending code. Come on guys...help a guy out. Jeez!
Well I'm almost sure that this piece of the code works, just need a toro report.
Thank you all for your feedback, the app can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32856969#post32856969
See guys! Jeez! Give the guy enough flack?
