[CLARIFICATION] Please Read

To those of you who don't bother to look up this information or even ask around xda.
THE HTC FIRST IS DISCONTINUED. NO ANDROID SOFTWARE UPDATES WILL EVER BE AVAILABLE FROM ATT OR HTC. WE ARE STUCK ON 4.1 JELLY BEAN FOR LIFE UNLESS WE GET CM. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW SLOW DEVELOPMENT IS GOING BECAUSE IT IS VERY HARD FOR ONE PERSON TO DO IT WHILE LIVING A LIFE. TRUST MY PERSONAL XP
Thank you.
PS: Gosh, please do research on the phone you are buying and how android even works before buying one.

Also.
Apps within the 4.1 - 4.3 range are inter compatible so you can run 4.3 or even 4.4 "aosp apps" like clock camera and keyboard on android 4.1.

ROM - a file containing software files that you either receive as an update or flash through recovery to replace your your existing os.
Recovery - a system you boot into to, to be able to flash files and manage your phone at a superior root level (aka god mode) be careful with it.
Flash - install through recovery
Root - (to root - to gain superior access and make you overlord over the device's /system and /boot partition) Root - having root access
AOSP - Android Open Source Project (also refers to a STOCK non customized or non modded ROM or Nexus port)
Port - (to port - to port a rom means to copy it from another device because it is easier that way than building it from scratch, aka copying and slightly modifying to make it work on a device) A port - a rom that has been copied from another device

Really ???? Why ?? Huawei is too slow in making the Updates , all now is Andoird 5 and P7 is stuck in 4.4.2

It's proberly better staying on 4.4.2 than on lolipop. Many bugs on lolipop.

Wow do you realize android 5 has been out officially for a week or two and pretty much every phone apart from nexus which uses the software directly from Google themselves who make android, still don't run it yet and expect to be running it in 2015.
Not even big teams that use the aosp code directly such as cyanogen or paranoid have got a stable fully functional rom out yet.
It takes time for the 3rd party developers to customize and test android for there devices once the official version gets released as they all use the final source code which only has been out 3-4 weeks.
Also no company apart from Google is much better, Samsung are still rolling out 4.4 to some of there devices with some like the s2 still on 4.2 and end of life presumably others will jump straight to lollipop from 4.3 etc.
Also on rooting what do you wish to achieve by doing so?
Rooting can be very dangerous if you don't know what your doing with devices like ours.
Take a look for example at all the posts in this forum asking to downgrade their l10's from emui 3 to 2 which they upgraded to custom versions etc without thinking and the issues they now have with boot loops and stuff.
If you want to run xposed you can find many people with similar things recently in this forum that can't get it to work.
Also rooting etc you lose the ability for any future updates via OTA and recovery and would need to manually update your device potentially bricking it every single time which bricking means you can no longer use your device and have to buy a new one.
Also are you capible on the PC with using it, command prompt Linux shell etc and doing things like installing Windows and other things.
If not then rooting is not for you.
Also do you know how to code in Linux C etc and know the workings of the Linux os, if not then there is no way you are going to make a custom rom. All you might be able to achieve is just repackaging someone else's ROM with minor edits and even then the tools to do that mainly use Linux to run as it's native windows doesn't have all the stuff Linux has natively in this regard.

Thanks For your Valuable words,
I really enjoyed them and get my mind open
well I do have Good Experience in linux and Command line , C Programming actually didnt go deep with it really ,
But i think I will stick to your opinion and wait ,and while I do so I will learn more about the whole subject ,and maybe increase my knowledge in this Field . (Android Programming - the C Programming - how things work in Android , ROMS , ETC)
but would you mind telling me from where to start ???

Apologies if I came across about abit hard this forum has had allot of impatient people jumping in recently trying to run Emui 3 on l10's then asking to downgrade as you may have noticed the other teams like paranoid are already dealing with lots of people saying there to slow for not having lollipop out within a hour of aosp.
I had the same issue running a custom Minecraft server that people got really angry then refused to play and bad mouth the server if we didn't update that day when update time for us was about a week given the number of customizations we had 41 plugin's in the end, sometimes longer if there were more changes the mod and custom server devs had to deal with.
Emui 3 and lollipop has more bugs more as it's new from what I found I may start a proper consolidated emui talk thread later for those running it opposed to all the l10 when are we getting it out help me downgrade threads.
The place I think you should start is to download the source code for your version from the emui webpage and start analyzing it out of interest.
There's another Dev on here doing the same thing so you might want to contact him for info.
Also there are tools on Linux that easily let you unpack stock image files and the ext container and repack them.
That way you can see the full file structure and how a rom is packaged.
It's good just to see what's inside roms and how the first roms are usually made by a repackage before source.
I will stress the same as above that while these are starting points you would need to know what you are doing and something more hackable like a cheap nexus or or Chinese tab (about $50 USD) with easy upgradable firmware something would be better to start on.
Also grab down the android tools with eclypse for Linux, the sdk virtual device and have a play around making a app and stuff also you can edit the virtual rom safely etc.
The Linux version of the tools is far superior as you can natively mount the virtual ext cards for host file transfer and do other things which you can't under windows.
By ext above I mean the virtual partition files which are either ext 3 or 4 last time I looked.
I'm not a coder myself and I only did basic stuff in the past as I had a Chinese android 2.2 tablet the MID ones as my first device, I used a custom rom on which was just a repack with file system changes with bloat removed etc.
I looked into this out of interest and curiosity, each rom update I repacked it with the apps I used so I didn't need to reinstall them, there was probably a better (proper) way than just unpacking the ext file system from the img adding my apps in to the deploy folder and repacking.
Also I unpacked a APK weather app etc to make changes and use a custom background and others like themes to grab icons and assets this is a good start with looking at app packages and how that all works as well as making your own app in various tools eclipse for one which is the official tool but there's hundreds of android programming softwares online even to do simple stuff as make a stand alone html5 app from a webpage.
The tools on Windows I found were lacking and harder to find for the rom stuff, with Linux it was built into the system a lot of things.
What Linux is the best for doing Android stuff I don't know so that will need to be researched.
As mentioned devices can be dangerous for custom stuff especially newer ones with bootloader security, the older Chinese style ones and some others you could reflash easily from sdcard with a update.img file as they didn't contain that lock out security on boot and debugging.
I nearly bricked a few devices in the past, once having to rely on the bootloader and Android Commander a powerful tool and device terminal to mount the partition rw while in the bootloader to rename a file backI renamed as a test that caused the system to stop booting.
You can still get some tabs that do that about 50 USD on eBay etc I think.

I'd strongly advise that you wait. My experience. You can root v4.4.2 VERY easily using vroot. Wait for lollipop, honestly. Is a nightmare recovering your position if you try to move now.

Seeking Custom ROM for N7000 with multi user function

Hi there,
i want to use my old Samsung Galaxy Note as Tablet for my little daugters. To protect the Phone (and also my daughters), i want use the multi user feature to be able to install Apps with my accounts and let her start only less alowed apps.
I always try some Custom ROMS with Android 4.2 or higher. But all of them without the Multiuser feature.
Could anybody provide me the name of a Custom ROM that provide the multi user function ? I found a old thred, that Revolt should support that. But the Version of the Revolt ROM that i found, was without this feature.
cu, Thiemo

There are device related problems with multiuser support (Small /data partition and no emulated internal storage).
This could be changed in an rom but this would make all other roms incompatible without manual repartitioning.
This is also the reason why I have removed it some time ago from my lollipop rom

Hi Bauner,
thank you for that Information. Now i understand why i could not found a ROM with this feature.
Regards, Thiemo

[NON-ROOT] JBNCK One UI Experience - Debloated, Private and clean One UI experience

JBNCK One UI Experience​Get the JBNCK One UI Experience on your Samsung Phone without root. Works best on Galaxy A-Series phones running Android 11 or 12​Features​- Debloated and clean (pleasant for the eyes, fun to use and allows for 2-day battery life)*
- Privacy (RethinkDNS [DNS + Firewall] and Privacy indicators included)**
- Degoogled*** (removed the majority of Google apps, replaced Play Store client [AuroraStore], possibility to add Nextcloud accounts [Nextcloud app required] or other accounts for contacts and calendar syncing, included Chromium)
- Advanced tweaking (SystemUI Tuner included)​Installation ****​For best results, make sure your device is freshly set up. If it isn't, create a backup (on anything but Google (WhatsApp backup is fine) or Samsung since those sync adapters will be removed) and perform a factory reset. Otherwise it may break your setup and you might end up with a chaotic system which defeats the whole purpose of the project xD
To start the installation, download the newest release and unzip the file. On your phone, make sure you have USB debugging enabled. After enabling USB debugging connect your phone to your computer via a USB cable and execute the script (there are 3 files, choose the one that suits your operating system). If you're on Linux, make sure to allow execution of the adb binary and the debloat script. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just open a terminal in the extracted folder and execute the following command:
Code:
chmod -R 777 *
Download: https://github.com/JBNCK/One-UI-Experience/releases
GitHub repo (!!do not clone to use!! Use a release!): https://github.com/JBNCK/One-UI-Experience
GitHub profile: https://github.com/JBNCK
Website: https://jbnck.ml/
Based on: https://jbnck.ml/projects/android_modifikation/samsung-debloat-liste.html​
Troubleshooting​Bootloop​Hope you backed up your data . Enter recovery mode and perform a factory reset​Hey some app isn't working!​Ask me for help on XDA by posting a comment under the thread. Make sure to include information like:
1. What isn't working?
2. What device are you using?
3. Is there any error message that might help?
I will try to recreate the problem and send you a solution if i manage to solve it​Hey some app that I use is missing!​Ask me for help on XDA by posting a comment under the thread. Make sure to include information like:
1. What app is missing?
2. What device are you using?
I will send you a command to get the app back since it has probably been removed by the script. I hope you know how to execute adb commands.​Read this before you scream in the comments​Some features will get broken by the debloating process. This is completely normal so don't flip out when you see a settings toggle doing nothing. If you want to get a feature back, ask me.
* - battery life may/will depend on your phone model and installed apps
** - both need to be set up first. Also make sure to enable always on VPN for RethinkDNS
*** - critical system apps as well as Google Play Services cannot be removed without root. The script still installs GBoard (the lite version without stickers and unnecessary online content) and Google Messages (for a better RCS integration)
**** - adb will be blocked by MacOS by default. You can unblock it in the security tab in the settings app
Script tested on Galaxy A51 5G (SM-A516B), Galaxy A50 (SM-A505FN) and Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (SM-P610).
Works best on A-Series devices running Android 11 and 12 It is recommended to disable battery optimization for SystemUI tuner, Account Manager (syncing client for Nextcloud [Nextcloud app required] and other online accounts)) and Aurora Store. Also make sure to enable always on VPN for RethinkDNS.
Screenshots below.​

Screenshots:​To be added soon​Bugs:​- Keyboard needs to be enabled manually (Settings > General Management > Default keyboard > enable OpenBoard)​

Hello I just wanted to say that I love your one ui experience project and that I am the first person to ever star you're project on github.com and will probably be the first to contribute to your project on github.com.

You're script will also work from a Linux computer right?

I have just created a PR on github that fixed a flaw that was at the start of every single line of code in all 3 scripts I tested all 3 and they did literally nothing at all except show errors before this change to the scripts. Youre welcome. I look forward to contributing more to this amazing project in the future.

If you're on Linux like me, you have to change the permissions to 755 (open a terminal in this folder and simply type 'chmod -R 755 *'). This will allow the script and the adb binary to be executed. The message "errors are normal just ignore them" refers to errors like "Package not installed for 0" which are completely normal since not every phone has the same bloatware. Thank you for contributing though!

Hello janboygamer23 I see on your readme on github it says that the experience would be bad if not run on a fresh install. I don't think that's true because all your script does mostly is uninstall tons of packages and install 4 or 5

The uninstallation of these apps is the problem. If you already have everything set up removing all of the bloat can break and mess some things like apps linked to google play for example paid apps, thats why its always better to run debloat script directly after the initial setup. Its really just a recommendation/warning and you can do what you want with it, just be advised that things may break

Hello JanBoy, good work!
But I would like to keep the Google Play Store (no AuroraStore). Could you make a version of it or say what does not have to be uninstalled (.bat) / installed (APK) in the script to have full Play Store access?
Many greetings

You can execute the following command to get the play store back:
adb shell pm install-existing com.android.vending
After that, you can simply uninstall AuroraStore and you should be good to go!

New version coming today!​Since I still go to school I wasn't able to actively work on the script but now that the school year is almost over, I can publish a new version which works for Android 12.

New release!!!​Major update to the script (One UI 4(.1) is now officially supported)!​- Less stuff is getting installed (Messages, Keyboard and Weather are not being replaced anymore)
- More bloatware is getting removed
- Ungoogled chromium for Android has been abandoned so I replaced it with normal chromium, should still be more private than Chrome
- Animation speed adjustments
- /e/-Accounts have been replaced with DAVx5 to allow more nextcloud servers to be synced (Nextcloud app required)

Question Default Wallpaper Location

Hey guys, I have a Redmi Note 11 running the latest Evolution X Android 13 build. I wish to add my own collection of wallpapers to a directory, such that it shows up in the "Wallpapers" by Google application. Many forum posts online indicate the "/system/framework/framework-res/apk. => /res/drawable-nodpi-v4/default_wallpaper.jpg". however I do not know how to swap out that picture. Please do help me on this. Thank you.
If any more information is required regarding the issue, I will gladly post it.

You should use a good apk editor, it would be enough with searching from where the images are allocated, and apend your images, then signing again, clearing caches, uninstalling it, and then reinstalling, and rebooting the device.
It sounds easier, just placing the images in a directory, into your internal memory, then they would be displayed in your launcher by picking a wallpaper from.
