[IMG][XT1096] TotalX | root-tether-busybox-sqlite-xposed-hosts-bootanimation-dialer

***** TotalX *****​
I've built a mofo-flashable system image for the Verizon Moto X 2014 containing root, WiFi tethering, Busybox, SQLite3, Xposed, a symlinked hosts file for adblocking, a custom bootanimation, and the stock Google Dialer that has caller ID and allows you to search for business phone numbers. I also added the stock Google Messenger app. I'm currently working on getting CF.lumen to work, and AirAudio is fully functional with this image. I really didn't do much, most of the hard work was thanks to @JulesJam, @Slack3r, @slogar25, @btdownloads7, and @mikeoswego. Shout out to all of them for their hard work.
Download here:
TotalX-1.3.rar
TotalX-1.2.rar
TotalX-1.1.rar (do not recommend flashing, very buggy and drains battery)
TotalX.rar
Instructions:
Download the Xposed installer if you don't already have it, and install it to your phone but don't do anything with it. Also install AdAway 3.0.
If this is your first time flashing an image with Xposed, go into your file manager and delete /data/dalvik-cache/arm and /data/dalvik-cache/profiles. If you don't already have root, just do this step after flashing and reboot.
Wipe cache prior to flashing:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Next, extract TotalX.rar to your mofo directory, flash the image with mofo, and wipe cache when its done:
Code:
mofo flash TotalX-1.1.img
fastboot erase cache
It might take a while to boot up, but at least you can enjoy the crazy new bootanimation. When it finally boots, open up AdAway and go to preferences, scroll down to "Target hosts file" and select /data/data/hosts. This sets it so that AdAway modifies the hosts file in /data/data, which is where the /system/etc/hosts file is pointing to.
If you'd like extra heavy-hitting adblocking, add XXXXXXXXXX to your hosts sources (EDIT: Don't do this, it screws up MMS). Then hit download and apply on the main screen and reboot once its done.
Install any Xposed modules you want and reboot. And here's a great module you can't get through the Xposed app: Pandora Patcher
That's it! You should be all set after that with no ads and the power of Xposed. If you have any trouble flashing, don't be afraid to post here and I'll try to help out. And if you'd like to buy me a beer, feel free to shoot [email protected] some cash on Google Wallet
Changelog:
Version 1.3:
- AirAudio is now fully functional!
Version 1.2:
- Removed build.prop edits due to HDR bug and battery drain
Version 1.1:
- Switched to @mikeoswego's base to fix busybox due to Xposed installation removing busybox for some reason
- Google Messenger app added
- build.prop edits by @trimax84
- New bootanimation taken from @motomotomotoG's collection (Geometry Dark), if you'd like any of the others from that page let me know and I'll make you an image!
- Fixed bootanimation memory leak using fix by @arter97
Version 1.0:
- Original, based on @btdownloads7's image, added Xposed, hosts symlink, 5.1 bootanimation, and Google Dialer.

Known Bugs:
- Upon flashing, you may experience Google Play Services constantly crashing. Still not sure what causes this. To fix it, uninstall updates for the Google Play Store and Google Play Services, reboot, and then reinstall the update. No more crashing after that.
- If you followed my instructions earlier to add http://adblock.mahakala.is/ to your hosts sources in AdAway, you will most likely be unable to send MMS. To fix this, revert your hosts file and remove this source, then reboot, reapply, and reboot again.
- Version 1.1 was very buggy due to the build.prop edits. The edits create a bug where the camera app crashes when taking pictures in HDR mode. It also seemed to drain battery at a ridiculous pace and created huge slowdowns. I fixed this in later versions and will not be editing the build.prop in future versions.

You are the man. I'm downloading now and will flash as soon as I can. [emoji106]

Install went as expected. I was coming from another version of this img with adaway and xposed and bb, sqlite. I cleared cache before and after install, on boot everything went good, not too long. At first everything was smooth, I was letting it settle before playing with the new dialer, then I started getting mass unresponsive apps, mostly google. I did a reboot and haven't had a repeat of the issue yet. Adaway updates fine, xposed modules load fine, and busybox is good. Google dialer is operational if a little slow feeling to me, oh and the boot animation is gorgeous as well. Great work putting this one together, to all who input.

hmmm.. that sound a little scary might hold off until its confirmed that this was a one off issue. But thanks for the upload!

To be fair it happened to someone else on one of the other threads with a dif image. Seems to be a one off after a reboot. Understand your trepidation though.

It actually just happened to me too. Rebooted and hasn't happened again. But yeah, it also happened to me with one of the previous builds as well, so I think it might just be a one-off problem. Will report if it happens again.

It does that with every new flash. Not sure why, but a reboot fixes that sucker.

Thanks for this! Any chance of getting this image without Xposed?

YES! I had a very bad experience with Xposed once and i'll never use it again. Thanks. There's no rush though. Im on vacation so I wont be able to flash anything or donate to you until I get back home. I really appreciate it man and I promise I'll buy u some beer as soon as i get back.

Is this based off the image that has the HDR fix?

Alternatively you could flash this image and not use Xposed i.e. don't install the APK. Libs are't doing anything important.

Installed! Thanks for the Birthday Present -
As a suggestion you could modify the Build.prop to add a custom Rom Name under settings and custom details etc. That way you can really feel ownership of your changes.
Also if you really wanted you could delete Verizon Apps under the /system/app partition to remove bloatware but I understand that may be a bit tedious and undesirable. Otherwise really good build, worked well - no issues.

Or you could just freeze them with TiBU. If you are not going to be able to use the space for anything else, no sense in deleting them. Also some Verizon customers actually use NFL Mobile, Verizon Navigator, MyVerizon, etc.

I've had the gapps issue as well, basically neutered the phone until I forced a restart. A reboot had fixed it temporarily but it came back again a couple of times. I eventually uninstalled updates for both Play Store (gapps) and Google Play Services and re-downloaded the updates. Have been fine for a while now.
My bluetooth has also been wonky. Used to connect to my car without issue but now I seemingly have to manually connect, or even reboot the phone to get it to connect. Wasn't having these issues on previous images...
Now that I've bltched, I really appreciate the work...and the changes are worth the few headaches! Thanks!

Do you have any interest in adding CF Lumen to your image? When I download it, it has to install a driver and that must be something that is installed on /system b/c it never gets installed. However, I don't know if drivers are something that is too complicated to bake into an image.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711912
There is an unrooted mode but it doesn't work near as well as the rooted mode. With the rooted mode you can get the whites to be a very nice cool-toned white w/o any yellow/pink tinge.

That's really strange. I've only experience the gapps freaking out once, but this is worrying. I might do some research to try to figure out what the problem could be.

It's been 5 hours since I did the uninstall updates and reinstall them and I haven't had any issues since. So hopefully it's a thing of the past.
Though I haven't retested the bluetooth since this morning.

I have tried your image (flash with TWRP one) but got an error. Haven't try yet the fastboot image one, since my laptop is in my home, gonna try later when I get home.

thanks, Nexus S it's still my actual phone, if all works with this new ROM maybe im really tempted to try.
Actually i have Jellyshot with Marmite kernel and except the battery drain with 3g data and the limited storage i haven't any lag problems.

Click erase. This is ok for first boot

I forgot to mention this. You need to flash my recovery, at least for first boot. TWRP will not format /media as ext4 if it sees it already formatted as fat32.

great ..
hope to try it soon

Marshmallow alone seem to work well, however the Nexus S becomes so slow it's entirely unusable after adding flashed some minimal google apps package.
After taking a very long time to add an account, I have been unable to successfully install an application from the Play Store.
Do you know which minimalistic gapps package would function well here?
After all, although it's not crazy fast, the play store works plenty on stock 4.1.2.

Due to my employment situation, i am not going to point you to any Gapps package, but i am happy to point out, that after you install gapps, wait a while (few hours) to let device finish background tasks) it will act a lot better
i was able to install chrome and gps test and a few other apps from store no issues

Yes of course.
I tried a few more gapps variants:
- with the open gapps pico you can download today it fails to boot
- with older gapps pico it fails to go through the initial setup after entering the Wi-fi credentials (ANRs in logcat, mentions of GCM setup failure)
The most sort of working solution I had - still unusable in result, initially was with a package made for M on the Nexus 4, editing the install script to force the install (despite a failed disk free test)
If anyone (well, anyone else) has a working solution please share

Unfortunately those are too big (even the zero option), there's only 152.2M free on the /system partition.

I was also troubled by the space issue. I even started thinking about resizing the partition, but I was puzzled why fdisk returns only one partition from mmcblk0 but the OS still manages to see and mount all 3 partitons. I think the easiest way out would be adjusting the partitons.

Same problem here... I can t find a gapps package that run on this great ROM

IMPRESSIVE, I have to test this!

A zero gapps is smaller than 152mb?.. If you unzip it, remove all but play services and install the rest like normal apps you should be down to like 30mb or less...
Once booted and rooted, remove apps like tts and wallpapers ect and then try gapps.. As another thought..

SlimLP 0.14 ROM, Exchange Services has stopped working error

I installed SlimLP 0.14 recently with TWRP and used this version of Gapps - Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20151228.zip
Throughout using the tablet I keep getting this message popup that Exchange Services has stopped working.
Anybody know how to fix this issue? I just started Rooting and ROMing, this is my first device.

More controversial is the source. I use Open GAaps builds w/o issue. Others claim only builds tweaked for SlimLP will function properly. Both should work and auto update to the latest versions once installed. As you (and others) have discovered it doesn't always work that way. Don't have a decisive answer; simply recapping past discussions.

If you are indeed on 0.14, 0.15 is out. Try flashing the latest version. Hopefully you've already had it fixed but I still recommend you update your rom
I was running SlimLP and I kinda liked it, but the CM build is updated very regularly so I feel a little better on a more up-to-date build. Performance may have been a tad better on Slim though, hard to say.

Mee too. I found that Exchange services stop working if Gmail app is installed. Just freeze Exchange services with Titanium backup.

Install & run Android Marshmallow on the M7 - VanirAOSP ROM - UPDATED 4/24/16

There is a way to get Marshmallow on the HTC ONE Sprint M7, it's called VanirAOSP ROM. This is a great in most ways, and it's now my daily driver, but be very careful, I almost bricked my phone a few times in setting things up. Here are some tips from what I learned.
Installation instructions (learned from this video, other sources, and hard work):
1) Unlock bootloader.
2) Install custom recovery like TRWP. If you have an old version of TWRP, upgrade it using TRWP Manager or Flashify.
3) Download latest nightly ROM from http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/m7spr/.
4) Download gapps. Biker57 suggests gapps from http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/ as it's supposed to cause fewer force closes. I believe 60arm-DHO-GAPPs.zip is the correct file name.
5) Download SuperSU. Biker57 likes SuperSU v2.64 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125.
6) Copy all 3 downloads (in .zip format) to the phone (internal storage, like the TWRP folder)
7) Enter bootloader (volume down and power button), then select bootloader.
8) Backup the current ROM, just in case things go bad like they did for me.
9) From TWRP, enter advanced wipe and select system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Do not select internal storage as you will lose your current backup and other zips if you do (there is an exception to this, as I did it, but I nearly bricked my phone). Now slide to wipe.
10) Go to install, and first select the ROM's zip. Then choose add more zips and select the gapps zip you downloaded. Next select SuperSU. Now slide to install.
11) Be patient during install.
12) Wipe dalvik cache.
13) Reboot to system (aka phone).
14) Enable Developer Options (if you want), by going to Settings->About and hitting Build Number many times until it's enabled.
Known issues and workarounds:
-Camera app force closes after taking a picture - the picture saves, so just reload Camera app. I've also had good luck using Z Camera then viewing the preview before hitting back to reenter the camera app.
-Stock dialer FCs randomly - Install another dialer app, like True Phone.
-Facebook and Facebook Messenger force closes - use mobile website, which actually isn't too bad, or try the instructions listed here.
-Flashlight turns off after 3 seconds - use the cameras flash instead.
Known issues with no good workarounds:
-FM Radio doesn't work.
-Bluetooth audio doesn't work for phone calls most of the time.
-Switching the battery mode causes the brightness to change randomly - don't ever switch away from balanced mode
Other stuff
-You can find more about the updates made to Vanir ROM here.
-It's risky to play around with the radio, but if you want to try it they are listed here.
-Intersted in supporting Varin, you can donate here.
Please let me know if I missed anything. And feel free to copy freely if it helps others.
***disclaimer - follow at your own risk. I'm not responsible for what might happen to your phone. This is only a cheat sheet, and it's for reference purposes only.***

First off, good tutorial. :good:
Vanir is a great ROM but this Sprint ROM still has a lot of bugs in it. I've used the first Vanir Marshmallow ROM to the most recent and a plethora of bugs have been squashed. But this ROM is still not DD ready, the camera , torch, gapps, browser and settings are broken. I am not saying this ROM is bad, just that its not fully ready yet. Depending on the dev, this rom should be DD ready in 2-3 weeks, they've been releasing more often now. Thank the developer if you know him but if you're the developer, thank you.
We should try to get the dev to see if they can put up a Vanir thread with change logs and the whole shebang.

I'm glad this thread was started and the OP was done well. I've been using this ROM for a while and thought I'd pass along my thoughts and what works for me.
This rom has become my daily driver after learning how to fix a couple of issues. After the latest update of 2/18 the biggest issues of not having a cellular/data connection has been corrected. The only issues that remain for me at least are the camera and Facebook issues. Although the camera does force close it does so for me at least after the picture is taken and saved so it's all good for me. The Facebook issues are corrected by deleting a file in both the Facebook and Messenger file.
The following method works for me without boot loops or any other issues and hopefully will work for you too. I flash these all at the same time loaded in the order listed and don't forget to make a backup before you start just in case.
1 - Flash the 2/18 nightly just like you would any rom http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistak...ghtlies/m7spr/
2 - flash the gapps found here http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/ and select the 60arm file near the bottom.
3 - flash Super SU 2.64 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125 There are new versions, but the 2.64 has continued to work for me.
4 - Reboot
As I said earlier this works for me and I've used this method with their roms successfully a number of times. Good Luck !!

Thank the developer if you know him but if you're the developer, thank you.

I'm not the developer, and I don't know the developer. But I would thank him or her if I could. I'm just interested in running Marshmallow on the M7. I will update the original post as I learn more so I can hopefully help others.

Hello,
Flashing SuperSU through recovery is a better way, atleast for Marshmallow ROMs now. I'm using latest beta version (SuperSU v2.67) without any issues. It can be found in official SuperSU thread here.
As of camera issues, you can use 3rd party camera apps like Camera FV-5, ProShot or etc. Of course they cost few bucks but worth it. Issue doesn't solve totally in this ROM but app doesn't force close, instead freezes for few sec and then works again.
This ROM is my DD and faced no major issues so far. What I'm mostly missing is fast charge feature in kernel otherwise normally it takes plenty of hours to fully charge.
Kindly note; you have to flash gapps provided by the ROM developer. Other gapps like open gapps will endup with FC.
Thanks...
Best Regards

I flashed the gapps provided by the ROM developer, but the Gmail app is force closing due to "unknown issue with Google Play services.".
Then I tried using USB OTG to read my sd card reader in TWRP, but TWRP won't mount it. The issue started right after I booted the ROM the first time; I know because I installed the ROM from my sd card using USB OTG.
I still want this to be my daily driver, because the software is so much faster that 4.3, but I'm not convinced yet.

You guys are right. I had to flash Super SU through TWRP (which was a challenge at first without using the sc card and OTG cable).

As of error "Unknown issue with Google Play service", go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play service -> click 3 dot button in the corner -> Uninstall updates. This should solve the problem.
As of OTG, I didn't tested it but usb connection from TWRP to pc for file transfor works fine.
Btw; You are right, ROM is indeed fast.

Even if you install supersu from playstore, it ask to reboots to recovery to install supersu. But before you accept to reboot, you'll have to enable root access to apps in developer options. Otherwise supersu cannot reboot or go into recovery.
Anyhow, instead of going through all these, I simply flash supersu zip from recovery.

As of error "Unknown issue with Google Play service", go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play service -> click 3 dot button in the corner -> Uninstall updates. This should solve the problem.

Android won't let me uninstall the Google Play service update. I get blocked when trying. It claims the app is an active device administrator, but it's not listed when I click manage device administrator.

Deselect Android Device Manager. Later when you uninstall the update, reselect Android Device Manager.

That worked to fix my calendar syncing issues! Thanks!
Is not updating Google Play service going to cause other problems?

No such problems noticed here. I use Google calendar but Android calendar also works fine.
May be you should try rebooting or wait for some time and try resync.

The problem isn't using Google calendar, the problem is syncing Google calendar. I tried waiting, rebooting, re-adding my account, and everything else, but that didn't help.
Only downgrading Google Play services worked, and then Google calendar synced right away.
Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully as they update the ROM it'll get resolved more fully.

Need help to find rom which is stable and have ability to control notification led

I have Oneplus 3t with 7.1.1 android. Only issue I am having is that if I turn Notification light on, there is no option to turn battery full, charging, and low notifications off. With them on i cant use the light at all, because it will light up my whole bedroom. I red from online that Light Flow is the best app that could have sleep time without notifications etc. but when i tested it, it could not turn those charging lights off. Is there some way to bybass this? Never seen issue like this before. I am not sure is it just bug that disable option is missing or such. I have been using this feature since 2013 with nexus 4 so unbelivable its missing from this.
It seems custom rom is only way to fix the problem, but what is stable enough for daily use? If I could fix this issue on normal rom I could use it for years, because there is nothing that i am missing or what i would need more from my phone.

If you don't want to change ROM, you can use Xposed and GravityBox, unless you use Android Pay or other SafetyNet protected apps

Are you rooted with SuperSU or Magisk? If the latter, then you can download Xposed through the Magisk Manager, then install Xposed Manager and GravityBox app.
GB has the feature to control LED for all apps, unfortunately the free version is limited to 50 reboots (full version costs about 4 USD).

If I were you, I would dirty flash current ROM (install it on top of currently installed without removing data), install Magisk and then proceed.

Is there any rom that would contain this automaticly without needing to do those things?
I have messed up my whole phone every time I have tried to update, because of the encryption. I am pretty sure that dirty flashing will mess up once again. Last time I tried magisk It did not work for some reason so i had to install supersu instead, because i allways need to root for adblock.
The second thing i hate in this phone is the constantly coming reminder that there is update avaible. With going to custom rom or such i could get rid of that problem too.

I don't think so and even there are such ROMs, and I wouldn't depend on them. Consider doing a clean flash and/or another ROM.

The encryption is most likely not an issue, at least I didn't have any problems with it.

This is the nature of stock ROMs, unfortunately, but you should be able to hide this type of notification (long-press on it and disable the notification, but it's not always possible).

When i got phone and updated and rooted it i managed to get it not to recognise anything meaning soft bricked. Then time went by and i decided to update phone when I was told the root will stay, but then encryption once again soft bricked everything. Never seen **** like that on any phone so I did not know there is such thing. Just one step more to make things harder.
Now I am wondering does that encryption mess things up today when i will install paranoid 7.3.1. Atleast i put up fastboot etc. ready on my computer so it will be easier to fix.

It is said that one should format data when migrating from OOS to custom ROM.
