[GUIDE] Change SuperUser client in ROM.zip [OPTIMA-TEAM] - Optimus L3, L5, L7 General

Hello guys,
Today I will show you a simple method to change Superuser Client - From ChainsDD's/Koush's SuperUser to chainsfire's SuperSU.
I personally prefer the SuperSU over SuperUser.
If you are unsure, you might want to read up on it.
For a basic idea, look here - http://getandroidstuff.com/superuser-vs-supersu-android-root-management-at-its-best/
So, if you're a ROM dev/porter, and would like to replace, this is what you need to do!
What you need
Latest SuperSU and binary - can be found here
The ROM you're working on!
WinRAR (or similiar)
5 minutes of time!
Instructions
Download the SuperSU.zip
Extract it!
From the common-folder copy the superuser.apk
Open your ROM's flashable .zip via WinRAR
Navigate to /system/app
Replace the superuser.apk from the .zip we extracted
Go to our extracted SuperSU folder
From the arm-folder copy su
Navigate through ROM.zip to /system/xbin
Replace the su
WinRAR will update the archive!
Profit!
In case the above doesn't work out for you, then also copy chattr and chattr.pie from arm-folder to /system/xbin of your ROM.zip
(Thanks to @F4uzan and @-CALIBAN666- for the tip!)
Thats it!
Enjoy!!

Nice tutorial.
Seems easy!

One suggestion :
On some ROM it's needed to copy chattr and chattr.pie from arm folder
Great guide, btw

[MOD] Stock lockscreen

Ok i managed to get the stock lockscreen if you all want to use it.
There is a possibility that the file i signed has a different signature, but i dont think it will.
Remember make a backup! always.
If your phone gets messed up it is not my fault.
I have warned you, so here you are. EDIT: Unzip the file then push the one inside of the zip.
put the file i uploaded in /system/framework ............. let me know what you think!
Thank to : Ateisti for giving the info on how to modify it.
If you want to go back to your old lockscreen download the enable_glass_lock.zip, unzip it, and push the enable_glass_lock to /data/local
If your signature is different it will get stuck on the samsung, you can then restore your backup.
and if you want it then run these instructions:
You need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.
You are the ****ing man!
How well does this work with the alarm silencing and incoming calls? Thanks!!!
EDIT: Never mind...testing it out.

I'm a little confused... do we need to just change the file to android.policy.jar or leave it the name that it is and just move it to /system/framework
thanks!

Keep the name and adb push it to /system/framework (you might want to backup your old one) you can backup by "adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar"
You can also install it using root explorer if you want.

See I'm still confused, cause there is no file named android.policy (samsung fascinate) in the folder "framework" but there is android.policy.jar
Should I unzip the downloaded file then push that?

yep, unzip first...
Quick question, does this take away the option for the other two lockscreens, ie glass and puzzle? If not I can throw this in my theme port (with your permission of course) and also theme this lockscreen as well.

Your more then welcome to use it, but It does not give an option. So you would have to create a seperate theme for people who would just want the stock lockscreen.
I've tried installing this twice with root explorer, and both times my phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo when I reboot.
To install the file, I unzip the download and then place the .odex file in /system/framework. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

your signature isnt the same as my file. you can try to do this but you need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.
hey man, i'm new to all this i've done all that u said, but what is the command to pull the android.policy.odex from the phone? I think i'm putting the wrong directory in the command because I keep getting "remote object '......android.policy.odex' does not exist" thanks for this, btw i really dislike that puzzle piece unlock bs.
nevermind, I wasn't in cwm when doing it the first time. Thanks again.
I like this, can't wait to try it.

hmm... you used the file i attached and did eveything in adb? try again, i'd like to help more, but if you did everything step by idk...
You did it in cwm recovery right?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I did it in clockwork recovery. I may of had some confusion on the second to last step. I'll try again when I get home.
Two questions: Is the silent slide functional, and are the last two steps verbatim.
Thanks again.

Deodexed stock Telus/Koodo rom

I'm looking for a deodexed version of the stock Telus/Koodo (Canada) rom for Galaxy Ace. I have the odexed version, but I'm not sure how to deodex. If anyone knows where I can get the deodexed version, or can help me with deodexing, it would be greatly appreciated.
Quietly, THIS IS DEVELOPMENT SECTION and not Q&A or GENERAL, POST IT THERE, here will be posted roms! READ THE XDA RULES BEFORE POSTING -.-
I only know how to deodex on Windows.
First have/download your SG Ace firmware (Canada)
Extract your firmware contents using MagicISO to: firmware_name\system
Download AutoDEOTool1.0.4 (Just a modified version of the tool, including updated binaries)
Unzip it to a directory without spaces e.g: C:\
Move/Copy your firmware's apps and framework files to: _app & _framework
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
Hit 2 to be specific.
To find your bootclasspath, just download Terminal Emulator on your Android phone
Run the command: echo $BOOTCLASSPATH
To save it in your sdcard, run: echo $BOOTCLASSPATH>>/sdcard/bootclasspath.txt​
Open the bootclasspath.txt, remove any "/system/framework/" codes (without the quotes) then save it
Now copy everything in bootclasspath.txt
Then in the AutoDEOToolMain windows, paste your bootclasspath & hit enter
This will deodex all files in _app & _framework
NOTE: If there are still some odexed files left, then use dsixda's kitchen to deodex the remaining files.​
Now copy/move all files in _app to your firmware's /system/app folder
Copy/move all files in _framework to your firmware's /system/framework folder
Now you have a deodexed Canada firmware!
Download these rom_tools and extract it to the root of the extracted firmware (firmware_name)
Now add the boot.img
Zip it and to flash it!
Thanks, I'll try that tonight. What exactly do the rom tools do? I looked at the archive, and I'm pretty sure busybox means root, but what about the rest?

data folder is optional to include
META-INF folder is to flash the ROM
format.sh formats your Ace/Gio
installbusybox.sh installs busybox
mkfs.ext4 is the tool that format.sh uses

SuperSu binary manual update?

Does anyone know what files to replace/permissions to set in the system image when updating SuperSU and busybox, and where to get these files?
Yes.
644
root:root
You extract them out of the SuperSU package.
Have a look at my attachment, this unzip to /system/xbin/

Thank you! I had to place the busybox file into both bin and xbin in order for busybox installer to recognize the updated version, but other than that, I followed your instructions exactly. So now my question is if I just updated the supersu binary to the latest version, why is supersu still telling me that I need to update the binary? Did you extract these from 2.46?
Two more questions: how did you extract them, and where did you get the version of busybox that you included in your previous post?
busybox is just in priv-app not in app - it works.
I don't know, why that update message comes up. It's the latests SU
You can open apk's like ZIP to extract. But you can find Update-ZIP to flash with recovery, to extract
That's the latest busybox I installed on an other android. Just moved to the System-Images.

You can use APKTOOL:
https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/
Before nothing, you need to extract framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and then install them as frameworks:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Code:
apktool if SystemUI.apk
And then extract it:
Code:
apktool d TabletSettings.apk
Now edit whatever you want and when you finish repack it:
Code:
apktool b TabletSettings
Then go to dist and extract the apk.
Now go to original and copy all folders and files to unpacked apk from dist (overwrite all files)
And finally, repack unpacked dist apk with WinRar (extension .zip and then rename to .apk).
Now install the apk to the tablet:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Code:
adb push TabletSettings.apk /sdcard
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mount system
Code:
mv /sdcard/TabletSettings.apk /system/priv-app/TabletSettings/TabletSettings.apk
Code:
chmod 664 /system/priv-app/TabletSettings/TabletSettings.apk
And reboot to system.
BTW: What modifications you want to do?

thanks for replying
Unfortunately this method does not work
I imagine because of a odex file
I want to add the language to the system
All devices accept except this type AMAZON FIRE 7 9gen does not accept
@PRInCEI7
@Rortiz2
You would first need to de-odex the rom, however this as far i know is not possible at the moment.
A few years ago at the time of the HDX devices amazon introduced a customised odex format.

I have a tool for deodex the ROM but IDK if it will work. I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the info.

That's my point it won't work. There is no way to do what you want with any tool.
@Rortiz2 @ggow
I found this
When I root the device
Directly the application com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.apk stops working
When I change any file or put any file inside /System/priv-app/
When removing the root or flashing file too boot.img stock
Directly deletes any file or modification from this folder and returns the primary file ...
Why returns the original file when flashing a boot.img file
When I return flash boot.img root file returns my file .

Do you have an idea to solve the problem

You can use superr's tool to deodex if you have twrp. It requires rebuilding the firmware.
