Database Develop

[TOOL] [Feb 9, 2011] Android Customization Suite 1.2.3

Android Customization Suite 1.2.3
This is a program to complement your ROM. It is able to produce a CWM flashable zip with apps your ROM might be missing (T-Mob ones, launchers, utilities, etc). It also has other tools available for you. It can produce an empty flashable zip for you (read more about it here). And now, it has "repositories." Developers can upkeep their own repos with whatever files they wish. Roms, themes, mods, etc.

Instructions
Download. Note: you must have Java installed to run this app
WHILE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Unzip the folder. Please keep it intact. Moving files around in there will probably break the functionality.
Run ACS.jar.
Choose desired apps.
Wiping Dalvik cache is recommended, but it will take you about 5 minutes to boot
Copy flash.zip to your internal sd card
Flash with CWM
Linux users: if you are running Linux I advise you to use the run.sh file to run the program, otherwise it may use your home directory to store files
Mac users: you need to have java 1.6 installed for this to work. i tested this on a friend's mac (running 10.5.8 & java 1.5) and it wasn't working. also i was not able to update her java to 1.6 either. so i'm assuming you need to have snow leopard installed for this to work...
Devs:
Check out this reference guide for more info on setting up a repo list. Feel free to contact me for any clarification. It's really not hard to do it, just have to understand how the app works a little. The guide should give insight and instruction. Contact me to add your repo to the list.
Options Note
If you want to change the location of system apps, please make your selections first THEN change the location

i need everyone to test out 1.2.3. windows/linux/osx, everyone. please test it out trying to download Swype from Jdan's repo. if it does not work, please report back

dude what are you waiting for? sounds like credits will poses your name alot in new devs roms! say cheese!

Sounds awesome, I know a lot of people will find that very useful. Great job so far! My only concern is will you be releasing a new version every time the apps are updated? Or do you intend to have it download the latest versions automatically once you turn it into a client and host the actual files online?

If this happens, it would be extremely easy to update to newer versions. But as the program works right now, it's pretty basic, so yes it would have to be downloaded again.
Also I'm pretty sure I lack the skill to program it to download the files. So like I said. Maybe later

No worries man, that still sounds like a great tool. I honestly wouldn't mind downloading every now and then, I was just curious. I still have to update half the applications on my computer manually, so it doesn't bother me. Thanks for your contribution, it's years beyond anything I could ever pull off, web server or no!

It's looking great!

i know eta's kill the mood but i am hoping this gets out before midnight so i can play with it through the ball drop and have something to be proud of on the first of the year. i wish i knew this program making stuff too. but networking is my personal field of expertise at the moment.

I'm finishing up some things and going to try flashing a test in a bit.
If I can get it to work I will post the initial release later today. Only the Utilities tab and the Mms tab will be working though.
I've gotta figure out which Apks go with what for the actual bloat

i think you forgot to post the download link.

Did not
Like I said, soon as I feel it's ready to be a Beta, I'll start updating it on XDA

is it windows ready? it seems to be a little like an addition to the kitchen...
edit: nvm didnt read properly

birgertime said:
So I'm in the process of creating a little utility that will allow you to choose alllllll the bloat you'll ever want.
It will generate a .zip file that you will flash through CWM.
Couple things I'd like to mention:
It's written in Java, so eventually I will get it working properly on Linux and OS X as well.
The file size of this utility will be a little large as I will have to include every single program with it
I will eventually try and get them to download off the internet to make the utility itself pretty damn tiny, no promises though
I had originally planned to make this an online-kitchen type tool. I don't know nearly enough PHP so I just ended up doing this
This thing is Alpha
I'll probably end up releasing the alpha over at Heathen's site before I put up a beta over here
I'd like to hear your thoughts/suggestions/comments.
(Mods, sorry if this isn't in the right section, I figure this is more related to ROM development than Apps)

I'm not trying to be a smartass or too much of a dumbass, but why would anyone want an app that adds bloat?

Honestly, that wasn't my main intention. I thought it was a good idea for people to add apps they wanted in one swift flash. I'm always looking to have Titanium and maybe a couple other apps.
This just makes it easier and provides most of the apps people want in one place.
But I've read it over and over how (some) people want Avatar, Wifi calling, or AOSP mms, and I've even seen a request at one point for the memo app.
Right now, this is what works:

Gotcha. It is a good idea. It just threw me because of the generally negative connotation of the word "bloat"...

As far as updating goes.... It's not difficult here's an example for you...
http://www.javajazzup.com/issue3/page65.shtml
All you would need would be a host to hold all your files which a simple DropBox account can solve.
As far as the updater goes. What you can do is make a Wrapper that checks for a new file on a server (your new dropbox) if its the same size (in bytes) then continue to load your main .jar, else you tell it to download to the location which should overwrite it or you can delete it prior to the download.
I hope this helps in your java application. Great work and continue the dev
P.S. Feel free to PM for any questions you might have on Java.

Yeah I didn't really doubt I could find it online, just didn't wanna jump in too far right away.
I was actually thinking of hosting like a master file which would contain locations and versions of the files that the client would be able to download and interpret. That's just something that crossed my mind though. I'm going to get this thing working fully offline before I go into anything else.
As far as the web hosting goes, I have some, it says it's "unlimited" but I have a feeling XDA will test that limit if the time comes.
Thanks for offering to help! I may take you up on it.

If anyone knows this, I'd greatly appreciate the help. I need to know which APKs are associated with the following apps (mainly if there's another APK besides the main one):
AllShare
Amazon
Avatar
GoGo
Layar
Kindle
MediaHub
Memo
Mini Diary
Write and Go
Audio Post Card

It'd be great if we could use this tool to put our titanium backed up apps and put them in a flashable zip that way we have our apps ready for when we boot a rom.

[APP]Ubuntu Install Guide - Desire HD Testers wanted

I have released the first version of my app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have only been able to test the app on my HTC Desire S and Gen 8 Archos tablet and as such I need you guys to test this on your phone/tablet and post back how it works on your device!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

The only requirement is that your willing to test and send feedback along with screen shoots etc where required, it would also be good if your willing to try different roms and kernels for your device!

This is an awesome tool because my broken computer but how can I get sound??
Sent from my HTC Inspire "4G" using Ice Cream Sandwich

At the moment there is no way to get sound as vnc does not carry the sound from ubuntu to android

Aww man! okay ..can't there be a way to make something that does that or is it just a limitation of android?

The Backtrack 5 app has now been released! it is £1.25 from the market (there is no free version and it is a little more because there was alot more work needed to get it working well!)
The forum thread is HERE

Here is a new version of the boot script including alot of changes ad improvements alot thanks to Lubensius, the script is now alot 'smarter' and should work on a better range of devices. Can you please all test this new script so I can stamp out any other bugs before including it in the next release of the app. If you could say if the old version worked or not and then if the new one does or does not work.
Thank you

Primarily the changes have been made to try and give a cleaner shut down of ubuntu, but it also includes all the changes I found that should help make it boot on more devices including changing to loop 255 etc.
best thing to do is take a look at the script as alot has been cleaned up

Hello everyone,
I have set up a new server that will be used for the paid apps that should give much faster downloads than the multiupload I use at the moment, it will also allow for direct downloading (i.e. when you press the button in the app the download starts you don’t have to go onto a website to download)
I would like you al if possible to try downloading the test file (the 800x480 sm Ubuntu image) and report back to me with what kind of download speeds you were getting, against what your normal download rate is.

Thank you very much, you will be pleased the now that 2.0 version of the app with alot of new features will hopefully be released before the end of the weekend (so you bought in time to get the 20% off ). And the large image has no changes (About the only thing that hasn't changed) so you will not have to redownload a large file!

Ubuntu Installer Paid 2.0 Cooked and ready to be tasted
Well tasted by my beta testers anyway...but yes 2.0 for the Paid app is ready! so long as there are no more bugs the new update will be loaded to the market tomorrow.
Note that once the new update is on-line the sale will end, so if you have not already grap your paid copy for 20%!!
The change log for the new version is:
*New V5 small image, featuring fixed Java, even more lightweight (now around 1.2GB free) and user can set screen size on boot
*PAID New Build guide which shows you how to build your own Ubuntu images
*Brand new UI To make the whole thing more useable
*PAID new 'one click boot' feature to allow quick booting from either the widget or inside the app
*PAID new widget to activate the one click boot
*PAID app install guide changed in light of 'one click boot'
*Fixed keyboard mapping of random letters in Gnome
The free version should then be updated by the end of next week and will include the new UI and the new V5 small image and Gnome mapping fix.
Backtrack will then be updated shortly after that to include pretty much everything in the change log above (apart from the small image, there is still no small image for backtrack)

Interesting.

The wait is over, last minute bugs have been stamped out and the new update is live, should be coming to a device near you soon!
If you have bought the paid version check for updates!

I was looking for infos about linux on Xoom and I found this.. very interesting!
Excuse my ignorance... is WINE going to work on Xoom? There can be problems due to arm architecture?

Sadly WINE does not run on ARM, not only is there not a port of WINE itself, windows programs are not designed to run on ARM so there would be all sort of problems.
It could be possible to port stuff but I sadly would not have the time to do so

Bought it, and love it so far. Appreciate it!

In the new large image, it says that I cannot connect to the internet.. Ideas?
Btw: running Team EOS ICS Build for the US 3G Xoom (not-upgraded).
along with the latest rogue Kernel.

Well. I restarted it and have just been playing around in the Gnome version and it seems to be working now.. Previously it said it couldn't connect when trying to download something from the software center, but now it's downloading just fine.

Oh! It was Chromium. Trying to get it from the market it was saying it couldn't connect. I did an apt-get update and that seemed to have fixed it. If anyone else is trying that by the way.

Pressing the "D" button minimizes all windows and returns to the desktop even when I disabled the shortcut in the keyboard shortcut menu. Know of any way to fix that?

Of course as soon as I go to replicate the bug it's gone. I guess the keyboard shortcut might have finally applied? I had only tested it in Gnome when i was having the problem upon first boot.
But when trying to use the Chromium browser (I love Google Chrome) every page comes up blank. That one I haven't been able to fix.

[LINUX] Linux-on-Android project

While this project is also in the main Android Dev section I have decided to maintain it here as well, I feel the nexus 7 is really a great platform for my project, sadly being a poor student I will not be getting my nexus 7 right away so while I want to support this device directly I will need your guys help doing so by testing and let me know how it goes and any bugs etc!
The TEAM!
While for the past 5 months it has just been me its time to bring the project to a level I can't maintain by myself, cue the birth of the Linux on Android TEAM
The team consist of:
Myself
tuxling
Think you have something to bring to the team? then contact me and we shall talk
What is this all about?/Why put this on my device?
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot', see it has running a linux distro within a virtual machine on your phone. You can access this virtual machine and run it on your phone without causing any damage to your device, or having to overwrite anything. Why might you want this? well my apps are designed to make the install and set up process as easy as possible (more so in the paid apps) while still giving you some flexibility. Once you have the distro up and running then you can pretty much run and install any linux software you like (so long as there is a arm port or it is not architecturaly depenedent), sure there a very few big benefits over what android itself can do but it is still pretty dam cool. (and with the free ubuntu version, hey its free does it matter how useful you find it?)
Wait this uses VNC why shouldn't I just VNC to a computer?
VNC is used to access the GUI as at the moment I have not yet implemented a native way of viewing the GUI. But the Linux distro itself is running within the phone and can be controlled via the terminal app so if your a seasoned Linux user you may never even want to use the GUI
What is Chroot?/How does this work?
"A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
This method of running linux distros with android has been around for some time. I have worked on my scripts to make the process more user friendly and give you far more options from the word go.
The scripts start by mounting the ubuntu image file within the android file system and then mounts the sdcard and if ou have it internal memory within the ubuntu file system.
Chroot is then used to change the root directory to that of the mounted ubuntu and a bash shell is then opened to allow you to control Ubuntu this is kind of like 'booting' the OS.
The likes of VNC and SSHD are then set up when ubuntu is 'booted' to allow you to connect to the GUI if you require it.
Interested?
Ok so you want to get one of the support linux distros on your device, great welcome to the team
But first you will need to find out if your device is compatible with the method before anything else, this method 'should' work with pretty much any device but some ROM's/kernels will not work as they do not have loop device support etc.
HERE is a list of working devices and ROM's/kernels but remember just because its not on the list simply means no one has told me its working, it could still work!
Free Apps/Files
There is now one free app called the Complete Linux Installer (NEW) which can be downloaded from the market, along with the image files.
Complete Linux Installer (NEW)

Cool deal. I've run BT on my phone before which I set up manually. I will try it out on the N7 and let you know.

I'm trying this on my G2X and I have the internal sdcard mounted as /sdcard and the external where I want to put the ubuntu image as /mnt/emmc/
Is there a way to provide support for that? I cant get vnc started and im not sure ssh is working either.

That should work fine so long as you set the image location in the launcher to the right location, what error are you getting with vnc?

This ROM is now significantly more stable and usable than it was before. It is now suitable to be flashed by anyone that want's to check out basically a stock AOSP build of Android 4.0.4 with a few CM tweaks included. There will still be bugs, just report them to me so I can fix it
If anyone wants some screenshots,they are attached to this post.
This CM9 ROM is more of a stock AOSP build than a CM9 build. There aren't many tweaks available in the system section of settings yet, however as a consequence the ROM feels very smooth and responsive. As far as I can tell with my own testing, only the camera isn't working properly and the GApps don't seem to play very nice with this ROM for some reason. They install fine and you have access to the Play store etc, but Google Maps and other apps aren't installed it seems. Easy fix just go to the play store and download what you need.
Changelog
Code:
V1.0 Aug14/12
-USB/SD Card mounting now works
-Removed GApps (Available as seperate package)
-Wifi/USB tethering works
-Updated Trebuchet
-Added No-Frills CPU Control (I like it better than performance settings, can set it up so that OC values won't be applied if system unexpectedly shuts down)
-More stable
V0.5Beta Aug08/12
-Initial Release
-Apex launcher, ES File explorer, LordModUV, Auto-Rotate Switch, Titanium Backup apk's added to ROM
-Jellybean boot animation
-Smooth, fluid usage.
-Overclocking works without problems.
-Theme Manager works
-Wifi,3G,HSPA, etc all work.
Bugs
Code:
-Camera doesn't work
-Android Terminal Emulator crashes; Fix - Update app in Play Store. (My bad forgot to fix that, next release will be fixed)
-Gallery app doesn't work. Fix - Use Quickpic or other 3rd party gallery apps.
-Titanium Backup doesn't work. Fix - Use Rom Toolbox pro to restore your apps.
-Backing up apps doesn't work, can only restore apps.
-You tell me!
As I said, this is still a major work-in-progress and will have updates coming. I don't have internet at home right now, I'm only 18 and just moved out on my own a month ago and can't yet afford internet. Uploading my ROMs will happen at my parent's house whenever possible, so updates will sometimes be delayed.
My intentions with this ROM are to eventually build out more features in the "System" tweaks section as I learn how to implement them. I want to eventually make this a much more feature-fillled ROM. Right now, however my immediate attention is on fixing whatever bugs pop up in this ROM. For the most part, its very smooth and I have encountered very few hiccups/lag. Feature implementations will come slow however, as I don't yet know how to do it. I'll be learning so don't worry, it'll come eventually!

My pleasure! This ROM is the culmination of 4-5 weeks of studying any android guide I could find, decompiling many ROMs and apks, and countless nights left staring at the white HTC screen when my ROM fails to boot.
Although this ROM is also proof that anyone with no background experience in programming/software development can get involved in Android dev work! It takes a lot of time and dedication, but it's worth it in the end when you finally have something you can call your own. (Granted I used a CM9 base from Kaijura, but that's because I'm using a laptop and there's only 10GB left on the HDD. Not a chance in hell I can install Ubuntu and compile from source until I build a new computer in the coming months)

I was thinking of starting up and learning too, but I got no clue which guides to look at, could you maybe link one or two guides which you found particually helpful?
Good luck fixing the Rom, will be good to try out a new one.

Obviously, as you can see above XDA is the best resource available for anything android! Those are only the guides and places I have bookmarked I read a lot more guides than that, I just didn't save them for future reference. Download a bunch of ROMs for your device and take a look inside each ROM. Get familiar with the file structure and learn where all the important files are and what they do. Learn how to tweak your build.prop, write proper functioning updater scripts, decompile tweaks and look at the source code to see how it was accomplised. Those are my favorite ways of learning. Also youtube has some decent instructional videos on how to compile Android from source.
I'm getting extremely frustrated with this ROM. Everytime I try to fix the bugs and change any libs or files in the bin folder, the ROM hangs on the white screen. I'm not doing anything stupid with the files, just trying to use ICS8.2 libs to see if it fixes certain problems. Can you simply drag and drop libs and other files like that from other ROMs and than just recompile? Or is it more complicated than that? How can I view the source code of a lib? or a file in the /system/bin folder? Currently neither of those files are viewable inside Windows 7 with notepad++ or anything I have installed on my computer. Also when I look in ICS8.2 I see that ROM has quite a few init.d scripts compared to my ROM. How can I incorporate more init.d scripts? What files have to be changed to get them to work properly? I know if you look inside the init.d script you can see what file it needs but for example-
Code:
if busybox [ ! -f /system/etc/liberty.cfg ]; then
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
cat > /system/etc/liberty.cfg << EOF
There is no liberty.cfg file in the ROM at all. None. Not even in ICS8.2. Does that bit of code mean the system is going to create a file called liberty.cfg at /system/etc? Or does it mean the script searches for a file called liberty.cfg in /system/etc? I'm currently trying to fix the camera as well, and which files for our HTC Vivo control the camera? I know there are a few libs and a file or two related to the camera spread through out various folders in the ROM, but I wouldn't mind a direct confirmation from a more experienced dev or someone who has experience with this kind of issue on our phone.
Also I found the vold.fstab file was for the HTC Passion not the Vivo. I'm hoping changing Passion to Vivo will cause the SD card to mount properly. In the /system/lib/hw folder there is a file called camera.goldfish.so in the CM9 base from Kaijura, but in ICS8.2 there are 2, camera.goldfish.so and camera.msm.7X30. There's also a file in there called copybit.msm.7X30 what is that file used for? Is it related to the camera as well?
As you can tell, I'm using ICS8.2 as a kind of goal/inspiration. I look at the features and stability in that ROM and that's what I want mine to be like eventually. It's also pretty much the only up-to-date build of AOSP ICS for our phone, which is why I tend to lean on that ROM for libs and files. I prefer to make the changes to the code myself instead of simply copy-pasting everything, so I usually have the file I want edited open alongside the same file from a different ROM so I can see the code for both files and learn from it by typing out the changes myself.
Edit:If I compile the latest trebuchet.apk from github, will it be compatible with our device right away or will I need to make changes to the app to get it to work properly for our phone?
Thanks for anyone who can take the time to help me, it will be greatly appreciated!

Anyone? I'm seriously stumped right now. There's gotta be someone, a dev or something that knows the answer to my questions. Please guys?

I'm not a dev but since trebuchet seems just like a launcher to me, I guess it should work with the newest .apk But I'm not sure, just assuming...

V1.0 has been released! See OP for changelog and details. My next focus will be to fix the camera and after that I'll learn how to add more tweaks into the settings>system section.

this is awesome dude great work! once you fix camera ill be sure to switch over and check it out. i just need my camera

will be much more great if it is cm10 ,
anyway good job and thanks

The Camera is my highest priority right now, I will be concentrating all my efforts on figuring that out next. CM10 would be nice, but I'm not nearly experienced enough to successfully port Jellybean to our phone unfortunately. As soon as we have a JB port available, or if I eventually figure out the problems that come from porting JB then I for sure will release that as well! Just don't get your hopes up, I'm still very new to this.

Does mms have the wap2 setting like sense roms? Or is this missing as like all AOKP roms?
