[Tweak]Script for init.d!

Hi!
I just read around Android software and Hacking box and created some scripts for init.d. I have no idea about the effect of those tweaks, but installed and running on my phone now. Hope its bring better performance for Xperia S.
Require:
1. ADB.
2. Root.
3. Init.d support active (Thanks DoomLoRD for this). If you are not active init.d yet, this will do it for you.
4. window (script to active init.d runs only on windows).
Install:
Download attach file, extract to c: (you will get runme.bat and files folder).
Connect your phone to computer, wait un till you see your device (type adb devices).
run runme.bat.
reboot.
Done!
After reboot you will see folder dalvid-cache folder under /cache - it means init.d has work!.
Leave your feedback here about performance.

Thanks so much!
After 2, 3 times of rebooting the phone, now my S is flying.
The performance has been improved!

i want to know that too!
and couple more questions:
2.does it work with ICS? (asked before, was not answered though..)
3. does it work for rroted devices but with locked bootloader?
4. does it wipe data after finishing process?
too little information given OP!
thanks

Yes it works on ICS I've installed it yersterday, I think this tweak is just use to upgrade performance of Xperia S but I don't see the difference, the Xperia S is still really smooth .

[SHARE][SS][ALL BL]Deodex Stock ROM 15.1.C.1.17

Introduction:-
Hello Friends .. I have shared a ADB Push tool for deodexing your xperia m single running with stock rom
the main purpose for building this tool is that you don't need to install CWM as its ADB push , right now CWM is build only for unlocked bootloader so you dont need to unlock your bootloader for this purpose.
Disclaimer:-
I'm not taking any responsibility if you brick your device while deodexing your device
You are doing this your own risk.
Skip this , If you don't want to soft brick.
Although its tested but if you will play with files in this mod then Its over you.
I Hope you have read this carefully, Now move to next steps :
Requirement :-
ADB Drivers
A Rooted Device !
Instructions :-
<MODERATOR EDITED - NOEL MACWAN LINK REMOVED>
Enable USB Debugging
Make sure that you have rooted your device!
Connect your device with PC and open "Menu" then just press "1" and then enter and it will push the files automatically
and later your device will reboot if it doesn't then reboot it manually
Cheers ! you have deodexed it !
Credits :-

OnePlus One DroidKit | by iTechy OPEN SOURCE! | No longer being maintained

Droidkit OnePlus One Windows
Hey guys iTechy21 here and I am glad to announce I have a NEW project I'm working on to make an open source toolkit made from c# to allow easy development for other devices. This project will aim to support as many devices as possible with different toolkits for different devices therefore unifying the experience between them.
This will also be 100% open source when fully complete and is released under the GPLV3 licence (apart from the stuff I did not develop e.g. Custom Recoveries, root.zip, adb / fastboot and stock software all rights go to their respective owners).
Features
Support for any android version and Rom
Full Backup and Restore of apps + data (Nandroid is in the works...)
Unlock / Lock your bootloader (removed locking due to possible issues)
Flash a custom recovery (all supported including stock)
Shows attached device(s) in status bar
Advanced CMD mode for power users - type any ADB Command you want!(Will be reimplemented!)
Booting the device into and out of fastboot with a button click
Flash back to stock (Lollipop!) and keeps your bootloader unlocked
To come
Flash 100% stock DONE!
Save backups with custom names DONE!
Install APK's through ADB DONE!
Flash zip via recovery commands DONE!
Improve UI to make it look cleaner...
Backup the EFS Partition (will be coming Soon) DONE!
Log screen to help amateurs with adb learn (and also output errors to be more verbose) Abandoned due to too many issues
Ability to change colour theme from light to dark and the colours (coming Soon™)
Improve OTA system (continuous)
I am accepting requests if they are not too obscure to find out (even better if you find a way to do it as it cuts down on my research time which I don't have a lot of )
Legal
This is an unofficial toolkit made by an independent developer who has no association with oneplus apart from the fact that he owns a 64gb Sandstone black phone. I cannot be held responsible for anything that may happen to your phone! Even if it is just exploding, catching fire or just voiding the warranty.
Changelog
Material 0.0.1.5 ) - Major Milestone! - Untested Oxygen OS flashing. Do-so at your own risk! (Might not work not fully tested)
Improved theming
Updates to internal .dll's
Stability improvements
UI Tweaks
More verbosity via dialogue messages
System requirements​To run this needs an x86 or x64 based system (Not supported on Windows RT)
And version 4.5 of the .NET framework (which is installed upon install if missing (needs testing!) and requires Windows 7 or Higher (sorry XP users )

I knew that would be an issue. That's due to the fact it includes all the stock files for CM11S. However I will make it possible by downloading it within the app unzipping it and then flashing the device. But I'm fairly novice at c# and I don't have a lot of time to develop at this moment in time...

Thank you I'll finally get noticed for something XD

... It works great but the size is a big deal.
Also, i suggest that ... you show what version of recovery you will flash - TWRP ( is generic and the filename does not gives you clue, the same for the others )
Also, for the Stock firmware ( wich version is it ?! )
SuperSU is not updated ... you could improve and use the last stable from chainfire
all the other things looks great so far.

Thanks for the feedback. I may improve that make to another form with information on the specific versions (along with a built in download tool). Along with updating the SuperSU.zip
The first thing I'll do is work on that once all the basic features are there. But generally its the latest version of TWRP that is stable along with the other recoveries...
As for the stock I think the one I included was 44s but it may be 5Q (ew). Ill be implementing a downloader for the stock images to download whatever the latest version is from cyanogen...

I'll see what I can do but the size will be reduced in the next update as it will remove the stock zip and replace it with a downloader which will download the stock images and then flash them reducing the size massively... (but I use Gdrive as its easy to find the download link unlike with Dev-host...)

I can´t flash twrp with this toolikt any one have a clue?

Do you have the adb drivers installed? Or is it throwing an error?

Updated [Stock] [PreRooted] Firmware 14.5.A.0.283 [Lollipop 5.0.2.] Xperia Z1 [C6903]

Greetings guys!
This is another firmware for Xperia Z1 (C6903), and so far is been released in just few countries. I make it pre rooted as by my side once you have a pre rooted firmware you can be able to manage and delete apps what you don`t need to free space in your mobile.
P.S. So far i see same threads but for Z1 Compact and Z Ultra. (if mods believe is not good this thread to exist i don`t mind if it will be deleted)
What do you need:
- Flashable zip
- Mobile phone Xperia Z1 (C6903) - with CWM/TWRP to can flash the zip
- USB Cable (make sure your battery is over 75%)
- Attention and patience
The procedure to flash the zip is the same like in other threads (copy the zip to your external SD Card and from there reboot your phone to CWM/TWRP and select - install zip)
The content of zip is
- firmware C6903_14.5.A.0.238_Greece-Cosmote.ftf (i found with XperiFirm on thread wrote by @IaguCool so of course credits go to him)
- UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 credits go to @Chainfire
- Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable credits to @[NUT]
I used PRF Creator to make this zip flashable, credits go to @zxz0O0
The steps i follow to reach a Lollipop 5.0.2 Pre Rooted firmware i found them here http://techbeasts.com/2015/04/14/root-xperia-z1-c6902c6903-14-5-a-0-242-5-0-2-lollipop-with-dual-recovery/
If you have done before flash with dual recovery you may skip the last link, but if it is your first time when you try to do this i highly recommend you to read before each thread including the one on last link.
Disclaimer
- i am not responsible if you run into a bootloop or you damage your mobile. Do it if you know what you do, if not just give up!

Porting LineageOS to an Unsupported Device (with no similar devices)

Hi,
I am trying to port LineageOS to an unsupported device, an IBall Slide Cuddle A4.
Here's the guide I'm following : https://fat-tire.github.io/porting-intro.html
This is the part where I need help:
"Add the blobs to the vendor/ directory
Once you have a working recovery, it's now time to get CyanogenMod building and working.
The first thing to do is to get all the proprietary, binary blobs into the vendor/ folder, along with a .mk file that will include them in the final build.
This requires three steps:
Create extract-files.sh and setup-makefiles.sh scripts to pull those blob files from the device using adb and put them in the right /vendor/ directory. There are plenty of examples available for other devices.
Create an .mk Makefile to copy those files to the $OUT folder during the build process and put them in the right place. Again, use other devices as a guide for what this Makefile should look like. An example filename might be BoardConfigVendor.mk
Make sure that the Makefile you just created is included from your main BoardConfig.mk via a command such as -include vendor/[vendor]/[codename]/BoardConfigVendor.mk. Again, existing devices can illustrate how this is done.
Now revise the device/ directory
Since you have a working recovery, go back and start modifying the files in the device/ folder. As always, use other similar devices as a reference.
You now have a easy means to do backups and test your builds. So start tweaking the device folder itself, and see if you get it to boot... Once you do, from there its a matter of building and supporting the various parts and peripherals, one-by-one. "
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q #1: Where all should I look on my device for the proprietary blobs, and what do they look like? Can I manually extract them out of my existing ROM and paste them into the proper folder of the new one?
Q #2: What do I modify in the device/ folder?
Q #3: What does it mean to "build and support the various parts and peripherals" Does this mean to add the necessary drivers? If so, can I get these drivers from the stock ROM?
The reason I have to ask this here is because my device has NO similar LineageOS-supported devices with the same chipset for me to refer to. My tablet has a MediaTek MT8392 chipset, and I couldn't find any supported devices with an MT8392 (or an MT6592, which is very similar). Also, there is NO code available from the manufacturer, at all. The only resource I have is a stock ROM.
Are there any other ways in which a device can be similar enough for me to use as reference?
It would be really nice if someone could provide links to articles explaining the above 3 things, or if someone has already gone through this process, share their experience.
Also, will my kernel (v3.4.67) be compatible with the latest LineageOS 16 / Android 9 or will I have to build an earlier version?
I am very new to Android development, but that doesn't mean that I can't learn!

That's a hard task for getting started. A mtk device with no twrp available. I recommend to start with low hanging fruits. Like buying an old phone with dropped lineageOS support and building an updated version.

I understand that it is quite difficult. So instead of doing a full port myself, I am now trying the method of taking an image made for a similar MTK device and transferring the device-specific files from my stock ROM, as shown in the following guide:
https://www.techubng.com/2017/09/how-to-port-lineage-os-14-nougat-rom-on-mtk.html
It says:
"From System/lib/hw: Delete all mt6572.so blobs and replace with these blobs: DOWNLOAD BLOBS
Now copy these files from stock to port:
System/lib/hwcomposer.mt65xx.so
System/lib/gralloc
System/lib/lib.audio.primary.so
Systemlib/lib.mali.soS
System/Etc
System/lib/libcameracustom.so
System/etc/firmware
System/lib/libfeatureio.so
boot/kernel
boot/unventd.rc (only if you are getting stuck at logo)
boot/Replace only camera lines under #Camera from stock boot.img init.rc to init.mt6572.rclib/libcamdrv.solib/libcamalgo.so"
But my stock ROM does not have any of the files he listed uner /system/lib! Can I ignore these files, or is there some other place where these files could be? (I checked /vendor)
Also, what about all the other files in /system/lib? Which ones are device-specific and does anything else need to be copied into the new ROM?
As for the TWRP, I have found tools like Easy Magic TWRP Installer ( https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-5162.html ) which will automatically do the porting given the boot.img and recovery.img from the stock ROM. Are these safe to use, as long as I provide the right info to the tool?
I want to use LineageOS on this tablet because the stock OS has some annoying bugs and is quite old (Android 4.4.2) considering how recent the tablet is and how much capability the tablet's hardware has. The manufacturer (IBall) has provided no updates at all.

If so, how do I find a developer who can do it?

If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking in Geekbench as there's a lot of conflicting information on the web. Usually, Samsung only puts the Exynos chip in GSM only devices sold outside the US.

Hi there, I just noticed this reply you had made and I have a question about a device that may have had Lineage support.
What I would like to do, once I have my new phone that is, is to take my current phone Motorola Edge+ (2020) and turn it into a small Lineage tablet.
However, there is one slight problem with this, and that is rhat there is currently no Lineage support for this device, but there is support for it's younger brother the Motorola Edge (2020).
Now I do know that porting is possible between devices, but I've seen a lot of guides says they should have the certain similarities such as processor and such.
However the CPU, GPU and Chipset are slightly different (Same brands though), will this pose a problem in porting?
I of course do realize that I will of course need the proprietary blobs from Motorola for this device and I believe I have found them.
Finally, I am curious if you know of any up to date guides on porting? I will of course continue researching myself, however I thought I would make an enquiry anyway.
Any help you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
