[SOLVED]Effect_tick.ogg

i want to change Effect_tick.ogg in the /system/media/audio/ui
i try to overwrite it or delete it or movie it and im denied even in su mode.
how can i take a ogg of the same name from my sdcard or computer and switch this sucker? this is the sound file for the the screen selection setting and i want to change it.
possible? how? adb push/pull? other than adb?

Your best bet would probably be to unzip your current ROM, throw it in there, zip and sign, and flash. I don't think little files like that can be over-written.

trying that now. i would have to resign and stuff right? i never done that hmmm

okay i unzipped the rom, took MY effect_tick.ogg and threw it in the unzipped rom, rezipped and signed and the error i got while updating is WRONG DIGEST and it named the system path to my effect_tick.ogg i tried putting in... hmmm im asking cyanogen i first wanted to to it on his ROM. i do realize this is a sound and path not exclusive to his ROMs but its worth a shot thanks for the help

That should do it. If you have any good sound files to use as a replacement, can you please upload em so I can take a listen? or maybe suggest where I may acquire some myself possibly?

[MOD]Custom Boot Logo (not the boot animation)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR HARDWARE! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Proof of Concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rGRZgry8lk
Tools Needed:
Samsung Epic running DK28 ***MUST BE ROOTED*** (See Question #5 below for non rooted devices)
Heimdall 1.1.1 (I'm not going to get into how to install the drivers...read the README) Download HERE
Modified param.lfs HERE
ADB or terminal emulator
480x800 jpg 64KB or less in size (use the above image as a template if you need to) or use the skull logo from the video HERE UPDATE: blademonkey posted some more logos that should work here
Steps:
1. Unplug and power off your phone and put it into download mode by holding '1' on the keyboard while powering on.
2. Open Heimdall and select the modified param.lfs (make sure no other boxes are checked besides the param.lfs box)
3. Hit start and let the phone reboot. (I didn't but if you get a garbled screen on boot just ignore it)
4. After the phone boots copy the new jpg file to the sdcard via 'adb push newlogo.jpg /sdcard/' or mounting the sdcard on your computer.
5. open an 'adb shell' or your favorite terminal emulator and issue the following commands and replace newlogo.jpg with your file name:
Code:
$ su
# cp /sdcard/newlogo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
6. Reboot your phone the normal way or just type 'reboot' and look for your new logo to show up!
Q&A:
1. Why 64KB or less for the jpg? Well the original logo.jpg is 64KB and with replacing files on flash memory it is a good idea to stick to that or smaller. I have tested with jpg files ranging from 11KB-58KB. If any one feels daring and wants to push a bigger jpg then please post your results. In theory, the partition is 5120KB which would leave us with about 3800KB free on that partition. But I would still recommend sticking to 64KB or less.
2. Why Heimdall and not odin? Whenever I tried to flash with Odin it soft bricked my phone every time. Returning to download mode and using Heimdall to flash the param.lfs file worked every time for me (and unbricked my phone). I used Odin 1.3 with and without the victory .pit and I don't know if it was my .tar or what but it never goes through. If any one wants to figure out why it doesn't work in Odin or figures out how to make it work then please post in this thread and I'll update the OP.
3. Why does the Samsung logo still show up after my image? The logo is a two part deal. The first part is contained in the param.lfs file that we are dealing with here. The second part is somewhere in the kernel. If some one knowledgeable wants to try and tackle the kernel I would be very interested to know how. It may not be possible until we get the source code.
4. Can I do this with ClockworkMod? I attempted to make a zip to flash the param.lfs with redbend_ua doing a redbend_ua restore does not flash correctly. In fact after I flashed with CWM the phone does not even mount /dev/block/stl6 (seen as bml6 by CWM) anymore. If any one has any ideas or can figure this out please let me know. This would allow the ROM developers another way to include a new logo in their ROM.
5. How can I replace the logo on my NON-ROOTED DK28 phone? To do this you will need a dump of the param.lfs from some one else's phone that has already followed the above steps. To dump an existing param.lfs in an adb shell or terminal and 'dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs' Then you can flash the modified param.lfs with Heimdall and ignore the rest of the steps above.
How it Works: (If you are curious)
The boot logo is stored /dev/block/stl6 which is mounted in /mnt/.lfs/ on the file system. By typing 'mount' in a terminal you can see it is mounted as a j4fs file system. From what I understand in my research is that j4fs is a closed source type of file system and is not well documented. Also you might notice it is mounted 'rw' but this is only partially true. You CAN create a NEW file in /mnt/.lfs/ but you can NOT delete or modify an existing file in that partition. So how do we get replace that logo.jpg to our custom image? We don't replace it. Instead I used a hex editor on the DK28 stock param.lfs file and changed every instance of '6C 6F 67 6F 2E 6A 70 67' to '6C 30 67 30 2E 6A 70 67' What this did is change the logo.jpg file name to l0g0.jpg. This allows us to flash that modified param.lfs and put a new logo.jpg on that partition. This same method could be used to replace the other files you can see in the /mnt/.lfs/ folder. Ideally I would have liked to delete the original jpg file all together but after many many different attempts, I couldn't find a way to do so. I'm also a noob when it comes to hex editing (this was my first time) so I don't posses the knowledge to do it that way nor do we know enough about the j4fs to make it happen.

I love the fact that everytime you post something Rodd you have phenomenal directions on how to do it. Great to see that you are trying to educate people on how to do stuff that they normally wouldn't even think about doing. Keep up the good work.

Sweet action...thanks for explaining the workings, helps to know what's going on so we can all learn as we go

thanks man worked like a charm!!!

Why can't you just rename a jpg with the proper dimensions and size the same as the Samsung image and replace the original image using Root Explorer? We already know the location, size, and dimensions of the image.

Read 'How it works' in the OP. With j4fs partitions you can only create a NEW file. You can not modify, rename, or delete an existing file. And yes the method you are suggesting was the first thing I tried.

Question? Will this be like the evo where if you flash a new rom it will stay or will you have to refash every time a new rom is flashed?

it will stay until it is overwritten by odin or heimdall so it will stay through rom flashes

Any 480x800 jpg 64KB or less in size should work just fine. I have not tested any other resolutions or anything bigger than the original file size.

looks to me like those files are not jpg files and are not the right size either
remember once you have a logo.jpg in /mnt/.lfs/ you have to redo the partition to add another

[DUMP] Requesting one for dev purposes

While my LG Black doesn't arrive I don't have a way to toy around with it since KDZ files come with a WDB inside (which can't be unpacked) unlike the DZ file used before.
That being said, can anyone get me a nandroid .img files?
In practice I only need boot.img and system.img but I'm a bit curious about the rest so I'd appreciate if anyone could zip them all, upload them somewhere (multiupload.com) and post here the link.
For a nandroid backup, you need cwm installed (follow the tutorial in this section), then you just need to boot into the custom recovery (use AnReboot for example) and pick backup. Afterwards, you can find the backup files in internal or external sdcard on /clockworkmod.
Thanks.

hey dude ,can you please share how were you got the img files ?through dd command or convert .kdz file ?

I got the img files by doing a backup with cwm. Just install cwm as it is discribed in the tutorial and go to recovery mode using anreboot. Choose the backup option at recovery UI. After that open your sdcard/clockworkmod and get the img files and thats it.

Like I've written in the first post, P970's KDZ files don't have a DZ inside but a WDB which can't be unpacked.
So that guide won't work.

Here's the google translate translation for this (saved time for you).
"1 Extract the official ROM
Download the official rom tools required:
Visitors, if you want to view hidden content please reply to this post
1) Download the tool to extract to any folder
I have the tools in "D: \ KDZtools" under
2) Extract the KDZ file, for example here in Hong Kong line V10A
Will V10A_00.kdz into any folder, where I put "D: \ ROM" folder.
Run KDZtools inside KP500-Utils-EN.exe, input i, carriage return (to extract files from KDZ)
Enter KDZ files, D: \ ROM \ V10A_00.kdz, Enter
The same directory to find V10A_00.cab file, extract the CAB file to get dz file, Hong Kong Bank V10A as: LGP500AT-00-V10a-454-XX-OCT-05-2010 +0- DZ.dz
3) Extract the files DZ
Extract the files need to use DZExtract.exe DZ
In the command line into the ROM folder: cd D: \ ROM
In the command line, enter D: \ KDZtools \ DZExtract.exe-x LGP500AT-00-V10a-454-XX-OCT-05-2010 +0- DZ.dz
Completed in the current folder will be a lot of files, which boot.img, system.mbn_0, system.mbn_1, system.mbn_2 we need the file.
4) merge and extract system.mbn
System.mbn to extract three files must first be combined to continue the command line, enter: copy / b system.mbn_0 + system.mbn_1 + system.mbn_2 system.mbn
Will system.mbn to a new folder, for example D: \ ROM \ system, enter the command: D: \ KDZtools \ unyaffsmbn.exe system.mbn
After completion of the official rom will be in system directory of all files, then you can delete system.mbn the.
5) Production of basic rom package
With 7-zip or winrar and other tools to create a zip format compressed archive
Step 3 will be the boot.img and 4 together to get the system folder into the directory with the compressed package to save.
Note: v10e, v10b etc. 2.2.1 version of the rom can not require special handling or root, as follows:
system / bin folder, delete all the file size of 28 bytes of system files.
Here we have a base rom package, you can begin to develop after a rom.
(2) customize their own ROM
Here you can own the "custom ROM" gorilla in the kitchen area to use the system"

LGNPST 1.3 Developer Edition For XDA
*DO NOT HOST/LINK/REPOST/OR ANYTHING ELSE OUT SIDE OF XDA* WITH OUT MY PERMISSION
[Questions]
Q.) Where is the Right Click Register ?
A.) I recompiled it into the installer, it will automatically install when installing LGNPST
Q.) Is the Right Click Register any different then the one I already have ?
Q.) I don't see the Register DLL in my right click menu.
A.) Most likely the right click register that you got/download/received originally came from me in the first place, this version is newer and updated. This version will install a new menu and ONLY register on dlls that can be registered, it does not show in your right click menu the whole time like the old version. It will only show when right clicking on a valid Active X dll or OCX file.
Q.) Should I remove the old LGNPST ?
A.) Yes remove all old version of LGNPST.
Q.) Can I upgrade my phone that use a .tot with this?
A.) Yes you can, VERY EASILY. You must first change the menu. To do this click (Tool) at the top menu. Click (Show Only Old UI). You will notice the upgrade tab will switch from asking for a .CAB file to a .BIN file. Just click on the little folder icon and change the FILE TYPE to .TOT, then select your .TOT file. No need for having to do any hacks or *.* or using the WRONG method to update the device.

I need help!!!! I think I soft/hard bricked my phone. I'm not sure since I can only get into Download mode. I have the .bin file and LGNPST v 1.3 and after all is in the right place and I hit start I get the ERROR: Unable loading Port Component. What does that mean??? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just had to pick this old phone and use it again and need to return to stock. It's been a really long time since I played with this phone. I can't find any instructions on using this (LGNPST 1.3) I have already deleted my old version. Are there files I need to download or does this version have everything needed included in it? Any help is very much appreciated.

You're not actually looking for a .bin file, TaviRawr...
When you get to that point where it asks you to select a .bin file, the windows open dialog box should open up.
Navigate to the folder where you have the .tot file downloaded...
In the box for file name, type *.tot and hit enter.
Now you should have a listing of the .tot file you downloaded. Click it and hit ok.
Then you should be able to flash your phone to stock.

I'm surprised that the directions don't suggest the Models folder...
Try this...
Go to wherever you have the LGNPST application installed.. For me, it was C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST
Make sure the program is currently closed...
You should have a list of folders and files, such as Components 4.0 and stuff like that ...
Right click and create a new folder and name it Models
Wherever your .dll fild is, the lgnpst_ms970.dll or whatever it's called is, copy it into the Models folder you just created..
Then, assuming you're using Windows Vista/7/8, navigate back up to the LGNPST folder and right click LGNPST.exe (it might say LGNPST if you have extensions hidden for known file types), and run as Administrator...
Now, when you plug your phone in, make sure it is set to Internet Connection and Debugging is on.
The program should automatically detect your phone and the .DLL model...
I'll link to a video (sorry, no audio yet) that gives you a visual briefly.

The Sickness has said to me in a PM that ImgExtractor_1_3_4 that can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667610 is an excellent simple application to extract the system.img file.. It has worked on all system.img files current and old..

You use Winrar to zip it up with the appropriate file structure and flash in recovery. That's if you extracted files from the image.
For a tar, follow this....

For remaking system.img you do need make_ext4fs:
make_ext4fs -s -S file_contexts -l <system size> -a system system.img /directory/to/system/folder
System size can be found by dh command
File_contexts should be extracted from kernel ramdisk
