[NS4G-D720][ROM] Stock 4.0.4/IMM76D DEODEX (Error-Free Decompiling)

Contents:
Android 4.0.4/IMM76D deodexed ROM in flashable ZIP format. Will not produce errors when decompiling APK/JAR files.
Includes Superuser and boot.img root-level access. Does not include radio or recovery.
Changelog:
[R1/02APR2012]: ROM base changed from 4.0.4/IMM26 to 4.0.4/IMM76D. Files updated from stock IMM76D listed below.
Updated File List:
system/app/GoogleEarth.apk (v.6.2.1.6363 :: Earth)
system/app/googlevoice.apk (v.0.4.2.54 :: Voice)
system/app/Maps.apk (v.6.5.0 :: Maps)
system/app/Phonesky.apk (v.3.5.15 :: Play Store)
system/app/Wallet.apk (v.1.1-R57v4 :: Wallet)
system/lib/libearthmobile.so
Notes:
The need to wipe data beforehand is dependent on which ROM you're already using, but is advisable when possible for the sake of simplicity.

So does this mean the SystemUI in this version is able to decompile without errors? If so how exactly did you do this?
Thanks.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.

So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.

SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.

mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.

I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

This update is from ChainsDD's site and has the latest Superuser app and binary. Should accomplish the same thing.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Did you ever get that step-by-step process for deodexing ICS from the OP? If so, can you send it to me?

I guess the Google Apps are included?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.

Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.

Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

I'm getting a error for the media fire links. New link please?

[STOCK ROM]I747UCALEM-CWM flashable stock, rooted, deodexed -7/18/12

I wanted to put together a flashable stock ROM for themers and devs to use for whatever purpose they wish. This is based on mrRobinson's root-injected I747 UCALEM system.img (Thank you sir). I have de-odexed, zip-aligned, and left all the glorious AT&T bloat inside. This will not wipe data but it will wipe dalvik cache and media cache so if you flash over a stock install you should not end up with duplicates in gallery, etc.
This is specifically for AT&T and I have no idea what happens if flashed to another carrier phone.
Updated Google apps, Superuser, and added stock boot.img.
Primary Download
CWM Flasher for SMemo and SMemoProvider (Not needed if flashing the above)

Thank you so much. Let the AT&T theming begin...

finally, a totally stock ROM, just deodexed. thanks for making my life much easier!

You will see a folder called "array" and a folder called "dev" that you can copy your ROM too...

so this is ok to flash over our existing stock rom? /data is preserved?

gave you thanks over there. will have to find them in a deodexed ROM, or just have odexed, which would be weird. ultimatum doesn't have it and i doubt diet ics does either. maybe i can find it in a Sprint/T-Mo ROM lol jeez
edit: actually, SMemo is still in there, but it's missing the odex for the provider lol
edit: will PM you mate, just need those files now, all 4, and i'll make a flashable

Damn, you're right. SMemo should be in /system/app but for some reason it's not showing up as an installed app. That was one of the apks that was giving me fits when de-odexing so I left it and it's odex file in there (Slidehow.apk was the other one).
I'll have to look into that.

I haven't been able to get Slideshow and SMemo to deodex right in the kitchen. If you leave the odex files for both they should work in the rom.

Here is the odex for smemoprovider. Just unzip and push (xda wont let me upload odex file).

[MOD] [UCALG1/UCALH1] Enable Call Recording

I take no credit for this modification, it is not an original idea nor does it contain original code. It's an adaptation of the modification for the GT-I9300 by wanam which can be found here. I simply made a few slight modifications to accomodate the SGH-I747.
That being said, I have not tested this on anything other than a SGH-I747, running a stock, deodexed UCALG1 or UCALH1.
"CWM" HOWTO
Download the appropriate package for your firmware (eg. UCLAG1, UCALH1)
Boot into recovery.
Make a nandroid backup.
Flash package.
Note: Recordings are saved to /sdcard/Sounds.
Also included are *-Rollback.zip files. These will "revert" or "rollback" this modification, returning you back to the STOCK Dialer (without recording). Be sure to flash the appropriate one for your firmware!

Question, where does it store the recording?
White Hot! GS3.

Sure. If you don't mind. Otherwise, when i get my dev box set back up, I am pretty sure I can figure it out.
Currently working on a UCALG1 stock firmware build that has all the potential of the phone unlocked (deodexed, zipaligned, BT and WiFi tether enabled, etc.) since i have only been able to find that for the previous firmware (UCALEM). Just makes it easier instead of having to flash to stock UCALG1 and then run a bunch of updates to get back. This way flash back to rooted stock with all the bells and whistles through odin without tripping the counter. :fingers-crossed:
Once I feel like taking the risk of bricking my phone, was going to work on doing the same to UCALH1 and test it out.

i flashed the UCALG1-DEODEX-EnableCallRecording.zip through CWM stock rom but with no flash counter rooted phone yet i do not see the recording feature. is there something i'm missing? any word of advice folks?
i was able to flash the tether app and debloated app through CWM without any issue; so i'm not sure what i'm missing here. thanks in advance

if i understand correctly, deodexed is a custom rom? if so then no i'm still on stock ATT rom just rooted.

You CAN deodex a stock ROM, but gig would have to either flash a deodexed stock ROM or deodex your apks yourself. In order to apply custom modifications or themes, you'll need a deodexed ROM.
I, personally, run a stock ROM.. stock TouchWiz, etc, justed rooted and deodexed.

I am not deodexed. To run I simply renamed the phone apk and phone odex files in system/app folder to .old then moved the phone apk from the zip to the system/app folder using es file explorer. Rebooted .... record calls!

Be careful what state you are in when you use this. Lots of us states require two party notification to record calls (caller and called party)

Call Recording + No Increasing Ring
Attached is a CWM update that incorporates not only the Call Recording found in this thread, but also the mod to not have the increasing ringer which was by yoelsd. Thanks goes to both the OP and yoelsd and too many others that gave guides for decompiling and editing APKs... I also used the CWM zip that yoelsd gave with his update, as the update-script will remove the .odex file since the SecPhone_ATT.apk file is deodexed.
I just tested this out on my stock "Odexed" rooted SGS-III using the UCALG1 Firmware and it works like a charm. Best of both worlds. Maybe the OP can put a link in the first post to this. :fingers-crossed:
CHEERS!

what is this Odexed and De-Odexed business? What's the benefit and why are we doing it?

:EDIT: Yes is does!!

Odex means there are .odex files present for an application. Example: SecPhone_ATT.apk also has an odex file named SecPhone_ATT.odex. A deodexed application basically has the .odex file complied differently into a .dex file which resides in the .apk. the purpose of odex was for speed but you lose a bit of storage and you cannot usually mod them as easy since part of the program is in 2 places. Deodexed apps tend to use a bit more memory and are not totally optimized for speed (zipalign helps with memory and speed and for the most part differences are negligible) but are the only way you can really make any changes to roms or programs.
There are plenty of resources out there that explain "odex vs deodex" on the interweb via search engine and on this site if searched.

Yup... the update that I posted is good for odexed and deodex roms since I borrowed the update-script that will delete the .odex file when you install it.
See my original post for who all I thanked for their stuff that I used. The only thing I did is take the OPs SecPhone_ATT.apk file for UCALG1 and modify it to include the no increasing ringer... there were guidss int he forums here that showed how to do it. It was easier to do that way, then to try to figure out how to enable call recording and mofiying the other APK to include it... lol
So if you used a DeOdexed rom, you will not notice anything. If you use an Odexed (i.e. stock) rom like I do, you will get a message when the phone boots that android is updating and the only file that will be deOdexed will be the SecPhone_ATT.apk file. If you are rooted, you can verify using file managers on your phone to verify that there is not a SecPhone_ATT.odex file in System/App after the update. If there is, then you can delete it (only if you actually did the update though).

I got a 4.1.2 aosp browser working as it should on a UVALL4 base (required some xml and smali edits to work/display as it should, plus some edits to CSC.apk to avoid freeze ups after a data wipe). It was pulled from an AT&T SGS3 CM 10 build. Would folks be interested in that?

Oh course! Load er up! This version is working on my 4.1.2 okay although mine did freeze before I wiped cache/data. I remember this when running cm9 on my old phone (not running cm10 until its a bit more stable on our phone) and I do love having my bookmarks back in my menu instead of stretching my thumb all the way to the top of the phone (I can go one handed most of the time). Really though, not sure if it's any better otherwise. Both are fast. Sammy seems to have more options especially after some csc edits. AOSP could be faster but nothing too noticeable atm. I'll give it a few more hours before deciding. There is something scrambled in the menu probably needs a modded xml or smali edit like you mentioned but otherwise everything is perfect. Nice find, op...

Sorry for the delays there -
So this is what I managed to put together. Note that this was modified to appear correctly on a UVALL4 base (which also means it should be good on UVALK8 as I don't think much changed w/ framework-res between the two updates).
There are two flashable zips:
This one is JUST the browser.
md5: D6A0D5A932EE5B07ADEAF8C3D162A79A
This one includes both the browser and a modified UVALL4 (which again is essentially identical to the UVALK8 one) CSC.apk file. This is really only necessary if you wipe /data with the AOSP browser installed - if you don't plan on doing so or plan on wiping /system (like to flash a rom or something) right after then this one really isn't necessary. I just figured I would include it just in case.
md5: DDCD7375447E50F74C586854D32847BC
NOTE: In BOTH of these zips the AOSP browser has been purposefully named SecBrowser.apk so as to overwrite the stock one as they can't both be functional simultaneously - if you DO NOT want the stock browser to be overwritten then you'll need to back it up, add a .bak to the stock SecBrowser.apk file, etc.
Hope folks enjoy!
Also - the media preloading stuff won't work - I didn't feel like making framework edits for this so I just removed the checks for it in the browser apk. And - make sure to go into Settings > Labs and enable the Quick controls. I find them pretty snazzy.
EDIT: Saw a mistake in the zips - dunno if anyone tried them or anything, but they will work now lol

This one includes both the browser and a modified UVALL4 (which again is essentially identical to the UVALK8 one) CSC.apk file. This is really only necessary if you wipe /data with the AOSP browser installed - if you don't plan on doing so or plan on wiping /system (like to flash a rom or something) right after then this one really isn't necessary. I just figured I would include it just in case.

NOTE: In BOTH of these zips the AOSP browser has been purposefully named SecBrowser.apk so as to overwrite the stock one as they can't both be functional simultaneously - if you DO NOT want the stock browser to be overwritten then you'll need to back it up, add a .bak to the stock SecBrowser.apk file, etc.
Hope folks enjoy!
Also - the media preloading stuff won't work - I didn't feel like making framework edits for this so I just removed the checks for it in the browser apk. And - make sure to go into Settings > Labs and enable the Quick controls. I find them pretty snazzy.
EDIT: Saw a mistake in the zips - dunno if anyone tried them or anything, but they will work now lol

In theory yes - though the csc-included one would likely cause issues. The browser apk itself works fine though.

Tried the first flashable and it was just a black screen and then an FC.

You will likely need to wipe browser data

Link looks dead. Any update?

Sorry for the delays there -
So this is what I managed to put together. Note that this was modified to appear correctly on a UVALL4 base (which also means it should be good on UVALK8 as I don't think much changed w/ framework-res between the two updates).
There are two flashable zips:

At laaast
Works great on my note 2
Extracted SecBrowser.apk from the zip
Renames /system/SecBrowser.apk and .odex to .apk.orig and .odex.orig
Pushed yours to /system/app and chmod 644
Then reboot , clear cache and data and reboot again
And voilà
Many thanks !!!!

Way to go downloaded 1st file and all is well on my Note2

Is this the same aosp browser in tweaked?

References on custom rom guide

Thanks in advance.

You can use ROM installer, goo.im, ROM toolbox pro, which all allow you to dl a custom rom and gapps. Those are all in the playstore. I'm guessing that's what you meant, your question wasn't very descriptive...

you will need a linux box of some sort.
I use both DsiXDA Kitchen moddified with new smali and back smali updates and new supersu, and the Archi kitchen from the repo he has as it has new updated perms and symlink processes, also an updated deodexing process.
there's no 'real' that i know of newbie way of making roms. You just have to play around with the kitchens and then code and mod the framework and systemui apk's by hand.

Sometimes I kick myself for never looking at those kitchens... they sure do seem to make it the process easier for folks. It's sort of deflating when you get it all figured out then see the result of an automated process that looks nearly identical... and took far less effort lol

No worries - I tend to go about things my own funny little way anyway I usually just dd a live /system (usually mount it in linux to pull out the stuff I need) and ls -ZR /system to get the perms/ownership/contexts/symlinks info I need to put an updater-script together.
