Nicely done.
It works great on my G1. I've not tested the partitioning section yet, but everything else works fine!
good job!

I keep getting ADB server is out of date

..but you don't get this if you manually use adb via cmd?
try using sdk 1.6 and android 1.6

Works great on my G1.
A few suggestions:
Apps window, make the sections scalable because some app names are larger than the widow size.
Push/Pull window, allow double click to open the folder instad of having to go to enter to open it.
Reorder list by name

Get the sdk here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.6_r1/index.html
(the adb file your looking for is in the tools directory)
i also recommend using the latest version of android (have a look at the development secion of the board) because i'm developing the software using a android 1.6 (donut) phone.

ok folks im hoping people can test this for me,
just built a new build (my first for the adam) based on the newest official 2.2 build but with some interesting tweaks
NOTE: i am a dev working for NI especially on honeycomb soon, but these roms are my own.
changelog:
New Kernel with NTFS support, android does not mount this by default but you can mount it via adb read only. (kernel has rw support but i couldnt get it to mount a ext drive rw)
Kernel has few other tweaks and changes and doesn seem to die when sleeping either now
performance tweaks (minor ones) made to the os itself
full google apps added (untested )
ability to disable ril/phone features to conserve battery (see below for info)
adhoc wifi courtesy of the update posted on this site previously
disabled some of the logspam that was enabled but isnt needed
boot.img is first stage prepped for honeycomb
install instructions
download the file linked below and copy to either sd or your adams internal memory and flash as normal

Please refer to original post linked above for download link
RIL Disabling Information
ok this is a creative feature. all adams be them 3g or wifi only versions keep thje phone related applications and services running in the background and on the wifi only adams this causes a higher battery drain due to system constantly trying to connect to a network, i have implemented a way to disable this by setting a simple property in the system
to do this you need to edit the /system/build.prop file and change the mentioned line to 1 instead of 0 then reboot
if that doesn work then try the below route
open a terminal and run the following command then reboot
Code:
setprop persist.ril-off 1

I am amazed by the lack of discussion about this. I wonder if this Stephen fella can let that kernel out...

Yeah I think there are very very few adam owners out in the wild. Might be a decent bump after this next delivery round next week.
And NI has not officially released their kernel source and from my discussions with them I wouldn't expect it real soon. I did however explain to them that it will have to be eventually so I think they might be working on it.

I second that. Am a fervent flasher (the right kind....) and when I get my Adam I will certainly be putting my own 2 cents in to get the most out of it, both OS and UI wise.
I am not alone, so definitely expect a flury of activity by Adam enthousiasts once the next 2 batches are delivered.

You guys are lucky to have djsteve as your new Dev. He's put in a lot of work for the Dell Streak since it first came out and he will probably put in a lot of work for the Adam ink as well.

changelog:
reverted vold change as it screws up things
added some more perf tweaks,
added data2ext script from gtab forum on xda, seems to work nicely, can hit quadrant scores of ~3200 now

UPDATE: 17/02/2011:
ok have tweaked a bit more and made a few more changes.
changelog:
new vold added with ntfs mount support (see below for some issues known with this)
flash player added and should auto install
fixed market and facebook
fixed superuser ability
added estrongs file manger for root use
tweaked the ril scripts to be easier to use.
added modified nvrm_daemon to increase 2d framerate
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
*note for VOLD, this now mounts ntfs drives read only, but it has slightly screwed up the mounts, if you power up device with no microsd plugged in it will mount the internal storage and allow access to is via usb, if you plug in a microsd or boot with one in it will mount both internal and external sds but share the external over usb, it quite happily detects and mounts my 1tb usb hdd which is ntfs formatted though now.
ril tweaks: now all you need to do is create a empty file on your memory card called riloff.txt then reboot and script should do the rest to reenable rename the file rilon.txt and reboot
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.

[Tool] BlendMIUI Speed-Porting Software [V04.7] [Add NEO V][Fully working Auto-Flash]

Since I don't have much time to keep on updating my BlendMIUI so I decided to writte a program to give you guys the chance to build BlendMIUI for your own with latest MIUI sources in just few minutes!
Q:What is BlendMIUI Speed-Porting Software For XPERIA 2011
Ans:This is a short program trying to help you guys to build your own BlendMIUI rom for Xperia 2011 in just few minutes.
Q:How to use it?
Unlock Bootloader first!
1.Download BMSPS(BlendMIUI Speed-Porting Software) then unpack it to anywhere you like(Windows environment).Btw,you should install JAVA SE JRE first or it won't works because it needs JAVA environment to sign the rom.You can goto oracle.com/java to download the latest Java SE JRE.
2.Download latest MIUI rom for Desire HD from miui.us(or anywhere you want).
3.Rename the rom you just downloaded as MIUI.zip then put it into BMSPS/MIUI_DHD_ROM directory.(Do not rename it as MIUI.zip.zip!)
4.Run BMSPS_luancher.exe to start.
5.Do as follows then it will automatically create update.zip under the BMSPS directory.
Then you have two choices:
=>Help youself:
6.Put the update.zip rom to your SD-card.
7.Flash BlendMIUI kernel(I have put it into \BlendMIUI-kernel directory) or DooMKernel for MIUI.
8.Use CWM-recovery to flash the update.zip rom.
=>Use Auto-Flash Function
You don't need to do anything on your phone,it will help you to do all works automatically and boot into the new system!
Features:
1.Support Devices: Xperia Arc,Xperia Arc S,Xperia NEO,Xperia NEO V,Xperia Ray.
2.Latest CM7.2.0 rebuilted sources as base.
3.Automatically port MIUI for your device then output unpdate.zip and sign the rom to let you flash it into your device directly.
4.Your choice Function (addons)
5.Fully working Auto-Flash Function
P.S: CM7 sources and kernel for XPERIA RAY are come from bheremans.
Changelog for Version 02:
1.Add moded Packageinstall to let you chose where you would like to install your apps including SD-card.
2.Fixed function to remind you to install java-jre if update.zip is not created.
3.Small changes.
Changelog for Version 03:
1.Fixed PackageInstaller and Torch FC problem when using the ROM from www.miui.com as base.
2.Automatically recognize MIUI version (Depends on the MIUI rom you use) and change Build version for porting rom.
3.Add "Your Choice" function to help you customize your own BlendMIUI rom(BlendUI,DSPManager,Tweaks,Audios from SE).
4.[For DEVs] Whole-New Source code:More easy to read,more easy to add new language(I mean the BMSPS itself) and new functions.
Changelog for Version 04:
1.Disable echoing information for better display.
2.Fixes and improve performance of BMSPS.
3.Add "Auto-Flash" function to help you flash BlendMIUI automatically
Changelog for Version 04.3:
1.Add Xperia Ray ST18i support(All sources for Xperia Ray are come from bheremans).
2.Fixed Auto-Flash function.
3.Fixed ADB Detective bug which cause the software stuck at entering into Auto-Flash function when you input "yes".
Changelog for Version 04.7:
1.Add Xperia Neo V support.
2.Fully working Auto-Flash function (You don't need to do anything on your phone now until it boots into the new system.BMSPS will help you to do everything automatically.)
3.Some small changes
WARNING:This is not an update-package and you'd better delete all old files if you have installed early version of BMSPS.
Make sure you have unlocked bootloader before using this tool.Baseband 56 is recommanded.

Sounds so cool! thanks

Just tried it for 1.11.18 and it works perfectly, a million thanks!
EDIT:
Because I'm lazy and I don't wanna boot into Win7 each time (I just have it for gaming), I compiled the BMSPS_launcher for use on my Fedora installation. I thought I'd upload it here, if anyone else using Linux wants to give it a try.
You just need the zip and unzip packages installed, in addition to the pre-requisites mentioned by Jason.
I attached the modified source file and the binaries for 32 and 64-bit installations.
@Jason: I hope this is fine with you. If not, let me know and I'll remove them. Thanks again for all your work.

Wow! So nice of you guy.

I have checked your file,there is a mistake:
Code:
if( Device==1 )
{
chdir("DATA/LT15i/");
system("zip -r -u ../../temp.zip *");
}
should be:
Code:
if( Device==1 || Device==2)
{
chdir("DATA/LT15i/");
system("zip -r -u ../../temp.zip *");
}
Cuz LT15i & LT18i share most files

WOW really thanks i just updated my BlendMIUI it works like a charm !
thank you soo much
Edit: Thanks for adding DSPManager !! ^_^
it works soo great on my ARC !!

Ooops, you're right, I must've deleted it by mistake. Thanks for pointing it out!

Is there any way to edit this rom to something we want like which APKS are installed and default launcher that kinda stuff?

this is great. it would be accelent if i could chose the language that i whant to install instead of english(not in the cmd window, but for the ROM itself).
can you make a feature for this? only then you will not only be A king you will be THE king.

@Jason: Ok so I've compiled the v2 you posted for Linux 32bit/64bit and archived the whole thing:
EDIT: Reuploaded
http://www.mediafire.com/?9uemvociipaopnn
PS - the source code is attached to the post for your reference. I commented out the Windows-specific lines (instead of deleting them) and put the Linux version below for an easier comparison.
Just one thing, I noticed that even if the update.zip was properly signed and created, the program would still display "5. Failed!" but then clear the screen and show that update.zip was successfully created...
I added an extra condition like below in the Show_Progress function and now it's fine:
Code:
if( i==5 && Step==5 && Out_Check()==0 ) printf("Failed!\n");

system("java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 temp.zip update.zip");
system("del temp.zip");
Show_Progress(5); // Delete this line!!!
}
Code:
Show_Progress(5);
shouldn't be there.Just remove this line and it will be fine.

I will keep on updating my source code to add more useful functions to give you more choices and let it become not only a speed-porting software but also an MIUI rom customization tool.The early version of BMSPS is quite short with some basic functions and it's not written in a standard way.I'm going to do some changes and if you like to contribute to it,you can always fork my source code and add your own things including some useful functions and I will be appreciate.
P.S:
I will release next version of BMSPS with some useful functions before MIUI 1.11.25 released.

Yeah, you're right, it's better to just remove that line instead of adding an extra condition. I'm reuploading now and I'll update the link in my post above once it's done.

PhilZ Touch is a CWM Advanced Edition that adds all the features you could ever miss in CWM
It is a well proven recovery for many phones
It also adds a full touch interface a completely configurable GUI
Please give your feedback, what works, and any bug you could encounter
Read the features, and check if you are missing something
Also, do not forget to read about the powerful aroma file manager integration and double tap shortcut

Note: tested only on my xt926. Aroma has a few little glitches but is not often maintained.
Older versions built by Phil (or his 'crew'):
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/xt926 // oldest (and substitute your dev name for pre-unified builds)
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/moto_msm8960 // newer, recent.

Note: My part in this is very minuscule. I just got (git) his source and stuck it into cm11 as a build base. I changed very little, only added the msm8960 build since I think phil is working on the source rather than many individual builds due to time. If you look at his github from the main page link, the only file I really changed was ./boardconfig/BoardConfig.mk under ./recovery.
Goal: Just to make this available and keep people out of the main thread that aren't developing. If I can help with the specific device I'd do it, but I'm really not an xt926/5 expert. Still, if you've got msm8960 questions (so: device-specific, not general philz touch) ask them here about the device and recovery since odds are better you'll get an answer here than in the main thread. I'll try to update this with latest builds each week.
Disclaimer: The usual stuff you read in all of these threads. If your mind turns into margarine after installation, please send a sample to the CDC labs in Virginia. I searched all over XDA for a thread for philz for the msm8960 but didn't find it. If you do, feel free to destroy this thread, call me names, threaten my relatives (please do this), etc.
Credits: I think all credit should go to Phil, @Orphee and the CM11 guys if you like this type of recovery.

Thanks for doing this bro. Otherwise AHD'd be on 6.0.7x..
EDIT: Great job, I can confirm, 6.22.1 flashes and screen touches work perfect, format, wipe clean new rom, install new rom, restore backup on the Atrix HD/mb886.

Who wouldn't like the best recovery of all? Right? Thanks a lot

Works with keys only on the 907. Thanks.

I don't recall the xt907 being unified into the msm8960, at least not in the philz code, but I could be wrong. Could you try a recent (6.19.x) build from over here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/xt907 and let me know if that works? I think the msm8960 so-called unified builds are still a bit confused. It looks to me like only xt926 and 5 are covered.
If the build I linked to works, then it's to do with the 'unified' setup and I might need to grab some vender ID's etc.
By saying "works with keys only": I assume you're saying that the touchscreen stuff is off-kilter or just off period?
Thanks and I'll look it over for that device.
Everyone else: Glad it's working out for you. I'll update as soon as there's another git update.

No touch function at all. The mb886, 'hd & photon Q (screen input works too, albeit mirrored) recoveries have always worked on the M.
Any can be used on the others for key only use.
The Q twrp works 100% on the m but mirrored input. Arrrghhh said he may port his version to the m.

Since we can have unified recoveries now, would it be possible to make TWRP and have it work for all the unified devices?

Took a look at the cm11 base I'm using as a building platform for philz code and it appears xt907 isn't yet part of the unified group though it ought to be according to CM. I'll leave a note and see if that's in the works. I'll check if xt907 has it's own build over there. By the way, from your reply I wasn't sure if you'd tried the pre-unified version I linked to on goo.im? Also philz stuff is using his own touch library GUI these days, and there might be something about that and the 907. Got some stuff to figure out.
Looks like (Atrix HD, Electrify M, Photon Q, Razr HD, and Razr M) are supposed to be part of it but from the way the code looks, (boardconfig) , not sure I believe it's yet been worked out. Razr M has some 9xx x {?} resolution, right?
Edit: CM11 looks fine as far as unified for xt907, so it must be something in the philz code that's not yet ready for the full array of unified devices.

I've used TWRP and like it a lot, but haven't looked at the build requirements yet. It seems possible to do unified builds for anything especially if you can do something like build the cm11 default code with it's default recovery, then substitute TWRP recovery for the default CWM in the ./bootable/recovery code. TWRP would have to be setup for that which is something I don't know. CM11 is where the unified structure is coming from in the case of these recoveries.

Are you savvy enough to allow/provide a partition backup of /persist?
At least Philz no longer lets noobs format it. Why not back it up? As it gets clobbered often.
---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
Could it have been the previous presence/oversight of the fomat command the the cwmr base gave be used on the phones that is the sole cause of all the /persist hubub & it being only on the phone is not an issue?

savvy: I don't know the answer to that yet
I just took a look at a) the main thread, noticed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48940651&highlight=persist#post48940651) and b) the code. What I come up with is that while in recovery, I can go to 'mounts' and mounting "persist" is an option which works for me. It's not on the backup list, mounted or not, but shows up in aroma FM when it's mounted. That link I put there claims there is allowed 5 "extra" partitions for backup/restore, so I might be able to set up /persist as one of them. I'm still new to this recovery code for android so don't expect too much. Looks like if I can get it to work on mine, then it ought to on yours.
As a workaround (if ADB is working to your box in recovery) , you could yank (pull) that /persist stuff yourself, but I think a new version is coming along pretty soon and I'll try to see if I can get it to work. (Time permitting etc etc)
edit: I realized that /persist is in the recovery.fstab file when I build which is why it's a mount choice in that menu. The other stuff (make it a backup choice) appears to be hard-coded in one of the .c files so it could be added, but there's a fair amount of stuff to do to add it. Yeah, it could be modified, but I'd want to ask Phil about it before messing with it. I suspect he had some reason since I noticed you and he talked about this in the main thread. Did he ever get back to you?

Mount is ok. When I posted the now unavailable format was there.

I'm trying to reopen the discussion in the main thread so we'll see how that goes.
Edit: General build update.
There's a new build, same version but some fixes that I'll put up eventually here. CM11 probably has the newest API and I'm restructuring my environment, so need to sync and clobber repo, include philz as a localrepo. Might take .. all day for the syncing and building to complete. Doing this in a VM today

Fixed: Aroma now works with screen input when booted from the msm version while key only from philz.
Translation: aroma works fully while using this on a 907.

Currently, recovery doesn't allow backup/restore of all what's in fstab
It would be dangerous in my opinion as you sometimes have the bootloader there
try to edit this line:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /preload ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1
setting the mountpoint to preload will add it to my mod as it supports that partition
However, restoring could fail if you do not add the selinux needed permissions
Also, you can follow my guide here to add extra partitions using this flag: EXTRA_PARTITIONS_PATH
Actually, without adding the flag or recompiling, you can just edit recovery.fstab to:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /extra_part1 ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1
by default, it is enabled when you name it extra_part1 to extra_part5
That way, you can easily add support to 5 extra partitions to nandroid menu with just a repack, no recompile needed

also, take a look here, at the highlighted line:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...8960/blob/cm-11.0/device_moto_msm8960.mk#L121
You have also a ro property to forbid mount:
Code:
ro.cwm.forbid_mount
Both these properties affect the format/mount options in "Mounts and Storage" menu

As far as screen input for the 907 goes, are you not almost there if aroma works?

Introduction:
ViPER4Android is very popular audio mod around the world of Android and probably the best audio mod ever made. But there is so many complexity ViPER4Android couldn't go further through, so I wish "ViPER-FX" could be a project to let our beloved ViPER4Android step in advance. Original V4A details at ViPER4Android Official forum.
Modifications:
+ Based on ViPER4Android v2.5.0.5
+ New Material UI and Icon
+ App rotation enabled.
+ Default install as system app to prevent task kill.
in MIUI or some rom could be installed as user-app
for IRS compatibility [Experimental]
+ The zip edition includes apk.
Recommendation:
* Magisk Manager, Framework installed.
* Android 5.0+
* To update from ViPER-FX v4.0 (v4.0 only) first remove it.
How to install?
* Flash the zip using Magisk Manager or Custome recovery.

@metaspook
Can you delete V4A app inside "\system\priv-app\ViPERFX" in next release? Because if V4A app installed inside /system/ there will be no sound improvement by IRS. Tested on my device running MIUI rom, dunno on other rom.
I use sepaker & many times change the IRS, but no sound improvement.

Do u'v installed Magisk n flash the zip through it?
B'cz this is a whole new way to dealing with system.
If u did but after that also don't work let me know.

Yes bro, i already used magisk long time ago.
Recently compared with V4A original (installed as user app /data/app/) & V4A module by topjohnwu, my device can read IRS and has sound improvement.
I don't know this issue is MIUI related or not, but I always get that issue if V4A app installed as system app (/system/app or /system/priv-app).

OK I'll release next update separately..

I can't tell whether or how this differs from the existing V4A module offered by topjohnwu.

Cool. I'd like to try this out. I just had some questions:
1. What do these commands do:
Code:
/data/magisk/sepolicy-inject --live -s mediaserver -t mediaserver_tmpfs -c file -p read,write,execute
/data/magisk/sepolicy-inject --live -s audioserver -t audioserver_tmpfs -c file -p read,write,execute
2. Why are the following folders blank?
Code:
system/etc
system/lib/soundfx
system/vendor/etc

1. It helps to keep Viper FX alive in SELinux enforcement.
2. Into these directories necessary files will be extracted or pulled from original /system.

Oh. I didn't think to check in the update-binary. It feels like this is a complicated script for sure:
Code:

unzip -pq $MODPATH/system/priv-app/ViPERFX/ViPERFX.apk assets/libv4a_fx_jb_$DRVARCH.so > $MODPATH/system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
ui_print "[OK] Pushing files."
# Config files modification.

done; ui_print "[OK] Config modification."
Does this mean that if I uninstall this mod, Viper is completely uninstalled without any changes present in my entire device? If so, it's a pretty good implementation.

Nice! Works just fine on my Nexus 6. Will this be submitted to the Magisk repo? Would be useful to have it in the manager...

1. The code I wrote looks a bit complicated but its for to reduce the size of the module (you can see I didn't packed the driver separately, codes are extracts those from the apk) and for more task will be done in less lines.
2. Yes.. obviously that's why using Magisk framework is so useful. It wont change anything in /system while installing nor in uninstalling your /system would be intact.

Actually I pushing the apk into the system cause if Viper install as user app in data, 3rd party or internal app killer kill it and Viper looses to output the effect even also when remove from recent list. but I have an idea if its just happens with your MIUI rom... can you give me your ROM's 'build.prop" file ???

Is not working for me, IS activated on Magisk Modules Install,
But V4A say "Install/Update now?", Samsung S5 G900m, Is rooted using SuperSU 2.79, Latest Magisk Manager/Installer,
I Installed this V4A why magisk "Refuses" to open Modules download page "No Modules Found", And i have to download manually from internet. (SafetyNet says RED, Root and Magisk is green in Magisk Manager)
V4A is installed as System App, And SELINUX is Permissive,
I Try to change V4A to user APP, But not working;

Yes you're right. But on MIUI (especially MIUI 8 on my device) i can control it. We can lock app into taskbar and turn off MIUI optimization for selected app by turn off background restriction. Those will prevent MIUI kill running app.
