How to make a Magisk module replace files - Magisk

Hi!
i don't know how to make a module so i want replace file in system/etc (file i want replace fonts.xml)
so can anyone help?!?

All the instructions you need are right here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html

Hi Sorry i try to read it (and look half internet) to understand how to simply replace a file with magisk. Maybe it has changed with version 24? Please link some source where it's easly explained how this task could be achieved.

Isn't this what you are looking for? https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#the-system-folder
The system folder
All files you want to replace/inject should be placed in this folder. This folder will be recursively merged into the real /system; that is: existing files in the real /system will be replaced by the one in the module’s system, and new files in the module’s system will be added to the real /system.

I Need Helping Making A Custom update.zip

So I guess my question is, "Can anyone help me?"
I used custom ringtones, and I don't like using them from the SD card, it creates lag, takes longer to load the ringtone, etc, so I keep them on my /system/media folder. Normally to accomplish this, when I install a new ROM update, I edit it and resign it, with my media folder, rather than the ROM's.
My predicament however, is that I don't know how to change the file structure for the update, I know there are files in the update that say, this and this folder exist, where this goes, etc. This is what I don't know how to do.
All I need the update to do is contain the media (/system/media) folder, so I can just add all my ringtones and notifications to this update, and flash it after I flash whatever update/rom, etc, instead of always having to be at my computer to create a custom version of every rom I use.
Could anyone please care to help? I'd be ever grateful.
You can use the attached file.
Just edit the files in the ROM
zip it
put the zipped ROM in the same folder as the attached files
run sign.bat
FLASH

is this just to be used for signing? i already know how to sign files. i need someone to edit w/e files are inside the rom that tell its structure (this folder exists, and gets flashed here, this folder goes here, etc). i cant just take a cm rom and delete everything i dont need then flash it. it will get errors in recovery.
Make a folder called media in the root of your update, and create the proper descending folders in media (i.e. audio/ringtones, etc). Place your notifications/ringtones/alarms etc in the proper folders. (I am sure you understand this already)
Open your update-script file for the update and add the line
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:media SYSTEM:media
That should do it.
Note that if in the update-script you already have an entire system folder being copied over via
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
then you need only add the folder media to the folder /system in the update.

[MOD][TEMPLATE] Magisk Module Template with EvilTheme Patcher

Hello everyone.
This is a little mod to the Magisk Module Template that allows you to patch APK files on-the-fly and have them created as a Magisk Module.
For example, you could have a modified camera module for your ROM, where this patcher would replace the classes.dex file with mods, then pack that as a Magisk Module, using the original file found in the /system (ROM)
For some of the devs that have been around for a while, you would be aware of the old VRTheme modding system, which would allow you to patch files on-the-fly. EvilTheme is basically a newer version of that, so combined with Magisk can be very useful
Here's what this module CAN do:
Replace resources.arsc, classes.dex, AndroidManifest.xml, and META-INF folder
Replace compiled res folders / files
Here's what this module CAN'T do:
Replace files in res/values or smali folders
How to use EVilTheme
(Example using /system/priv-app/SecSettings2.apk)
In the eviltheme folder, go to system and make a folder called priv-app. Inside it, make another folder called SecSettings2.apk
Now make folders as necessary, according to the location of the files you want to theme. For example, battery_icon_50.png is located in res/drawable-hdpi, so make a folder named res inside SecSettings2.apk.
Inside it, create a folder named drawable-hdpi, then paste your new battery_icon_50.png inside.
Repeat step 2 until you've placed your theme files in their appropriate locations.
When you're done, go back to the root folder of the theme (the one that contains eviltheme, engine, etc.) and put all the objects in a ZIP file.
You should use Deflate compression with compression level on Normal, but if your theme is huge, you can safely try compressing using Deflate and the level set to Ultra or whatever high level is available.
Test your mod.

Nice! Sounds interesting!
I've been using vrtheme for years and even contacted spanna aabout adapting the script to achieve modding of live system files this eliminating the need for recovery zips and even Aroma!
So I have a question about the use and locations of the asset files.
Would it be possible to change, at least the location from which the files get pulled from and placed into the execute folders?
So basically could it be set to pull the image/resource, whatever file from either a data folder or my preference, sd storage?
I've used an asset folder built into my system for similar commands, but with enough options and large files the system partition can get extremely crowded.
Does my question make sense?
Basically i would like to eliminate a big section of my packed 2gb Aroma zip. About 700mb is all vrtheme injected compiled files.
Either way I will definitely be looking into this!
Thanks

You could, but you would have to look at update-binary and installtheme.sh, then modify it for your needs. So instead of copying the modded files from the flashable zip, you would just have to remove the unzip function and change the path of where they are unzipped to to the location of where the files are on your data partition.
Give it a try
so with this I can technically change the rotation of an app without ever messing with the apk? I've tried editing the AndroidManifest.xml, but after editing I've never been successful putting it back into the apk

If you plan to change androidmanifest.xml you will have to include the newly created META-INF folder for it too.

If you're talking about pre-packaged APK theme files, no it probably won't work, as they still need to be installed.
This is more for files that are already installed that require patching.
Nice work
Got one question - is it possible to modify classes.dex if .apk file is not in system folder? I mean for example, if system app gets updated, it creates new folder in data/app/ with the name of the package and with either -1, -2 or whetever number at the end (ex. data/app/com.google.android.youtube-2).
Do I need to just integrate update into system and then modify it? Or just create new folder in eviltheme one with data/... instead of system/...?
Thanks
I tried to modify system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/default_wallpaper.jpg, but unfortunately it did not work. Neither on InFocus M808/mod stock 6.0(mt6753) nor on SamsungS5Neo/mod stock 6.0.1(exynos7580)
Both tried with official Magisk 12.0 and newest beta.

That was a bit rude.
Edit: better to give some details on what you've actually done, maybe even upload your files. Easier to find any faults on your side or possible bugs that way.

yes ok, the word "crap" maybe was a little bit over the top. i'm sorry for that. I just would like to know, if anybody can report this module/template as working. If so, I would go on looking for the error on my side.
I've actually followed exactly the guide given in OP. (It seems not that tricky to me)
-placed folder tree system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/ in the eviltheme-folder and put my default_wallpaper.jpg file in drawable-xxhdpi-v4 folder
-edited module.prop und config.sh
-zipped the whole template folder
-installed via magisk manager
-rebooted
tried with to different phones, beta and official magisk (see my first post)
I'll reproduce my logs and attach them later.
anyway thanks for the hint

No brother, I want to delete the file, not to replace it with dummy file. Replacing with dummy file will give system ui FCs.
I saw something delete.list in the installtheme.sh, but I don't know how to use it. If anyone can help, pls help me.
BTW I am using Magisk v12.

Ok, I see. Perhaps you find sth about it in the vrtheme-topic. Btw. flashing in recovery doesn't work either. I'm not messing around with this anymore and continue using flipster :good:
Where can we download? I want to change Viber's background to pure black so I will change the AndroidManifest. Will this theoretically work?
I was wondering what, if anything, I would need to change for this to work on a pixel. On Pixel's, the install path is system/system. I couldn't tell whether or not this could detect the correct path on its own.
Edit: Never mind. I got it to work.

[MODULE] Boot Animation Installer

This is a simple module to replace your device's boot animation systemlessly.
Supports any device (probably)
Supports any boot animation (for your device)
Use with Magisk 20.3 or newer
Usage:
Place any boot animation.zip file on root of internal storage
( sdcard/ or storage/emulated/0/ )
Default install location is /system/media
(Most devices use this location)
If your device doesn't place boot animations there, you can create a txt file on the root of internal storage (This file is automatically generated after running the script once) to specify a different install location. It needs to be labeled
Code:
install-location.txt
Contents of it should be the location directory for your device
Example
Code:
/system/media
Or
Code:
/carrier/media
Thanks to @topjohnwu for Magisk
Thanks @Zackptg5 for MMT-Extended and debugging
Tested on OnePlus 7T - Android 10 - Magisk 20.3
Future plans are to add this module to the Magisk Official Repo, but for now downloads are attached here.
Also planned support for more than just bootanimation.zip such as Samsung phones
Script Error
During the installation, the script says "Install-location.txt not round!" In which folder should I place the install-location.txt file ?

After installing the first time, if it doesn't find it, it will make one that you can edit. Or you can place it in the root of your internal storage. Usually /sdcard

Got this working. Thanks.
Neither working for me. Only longens the boot. My Device is an FP3 on Andoid 10 and location /system/product/media. Just to give you an short feedback.
I had to unzip the replacer zip file and edit the customize.sh file. Also put everything including your new bootanimation in root of internal storage.
You need to modify these lines:
# Construct your own list here
REPLACE="
$LOCATION/bootanimation.zip
to something like this :
# Construct your own list here
REPLACE="system/media/bootanimation.zip"
after REPLACE= this is the location of your original bootanimation.zip which us usually in system/media but may also be in locations like prism/media/carriers/single/ATT/media/
on newer Samsung phones. The ATT would be replaced with whatever network name your phone is on like VZ, TMOB etc or whatever you find in that folder if your aren't on ATT.

The $LOCATION variable is read from the install location txt file.
I have a rooted OP8T running DerpFest... I got this to work making the following 2 changes:
1. If you edit "customize.sh" file, there is no need for the "install-location.txt" file...
- here is what mine looks like (notice I left all lines in place)
Code:
# Construct your own list here
REPLACE="
system/product/media/bootanimation.zip
"
2. If you unzip the file, you'll see a "system" folder... I basically created the same folder structure from above and then added the "bootanimation.zip" file I want to use. For example, the files and folders within "system" should match ur phones directories. This idea came from a similar Mod I used on the same phone, but with the stock OS.
So once everything was in place, I zipped that along with the edited "customize.sh" file into a new "bootanimationreplacer" file.
If anyone has an OP8T, my modified version should work for you... I also created my own boot animation if you wanna check it out.

[Help] Creating Module for vendor partition changes

Hello Fellow Users,
Let me start with the fact that I have zero experience of making flash modules (TWRP/Magisk) and am just dabbling around.
Some background, I found a TWRP flash zip file which makes changes to vendor partition of Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet) running MIUI OS (Android Q) - this is a sound mod.
Now, with TWRP file the issue is that if it doesn't work or has any issues, we need to dirty flash ROM all times (or atleast dirty flash the vendor partition). There is no one-click remove option.
Hence I thought why can't the same be done via Magisk systemless and dabbled around a bit. Below is my experience of the last 2 days.
Now, coming to the original TWRP file - it copies/replaces three folders with included files to vendor partition. Path of folders is following
Code:
/vendor/etc
/vendor/lib/soundfx
/vendor/lib64/soundfx
These 3 folders and similarly named files within them already exist by default in the phone prior to flashing.
Now basis the Magisk guides I saw around and wiki from @Zackptg5 I did the following changes to the default template:
1) Edited customize.sh to define folders to be replaced
Code:
REPLACE="
/vendor/etc
/vendor/lib/soundfx
/vendor/lib64/soundfx"
2) Since Magisk will always look for the vendor under the system folder and so I moved the vendor folder under system folder
Basis same, created attached module and flashed and it installed.
But then three queries in my mind:
1) Are the new files actually replaced systemless and in-use? My concerns as don't see any intended change in sound
2) Is there a way to check if new files are being used o available to system?
3) Is this method of putting replace under customize.sh file the way out? While studying some similar modules making changes to vendor partition, I found that they have default (no change) customize.sh but rather make changes to common/post-fs-data.sh etc
So, looking forward to feedback from users experienced in making Magisk module. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts!
PS: attached is the WIP module which I wrote and also got installed in Magisk Manager
TLDR: How to make a Magisk Module using TWRP files to ensure systemless modification of folder/files in the vendor partition
1 - The REPLACE variable is used to replace the directories you specify with empty folders, not with what you want to add systemlessly. You might want to follow the advice written in the customize.sh file and read the documentation (@topjohnwu has everything explained there):
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html
Edit: If you do want to first "remove" (systemlessly, of course) everything in those folders, then keep them in the REPLACE variable. I just realised that it's a little unclear if that's what you want to do or not...
2 - That's the correct procedure. If all you want to do is to add or replace some files to your device, the only thing you need is to put those files in the /system directory of your module. That's it. The customize.sh file is used if you want to customise the installation logic of your module (not necessary if you're just adding files to your device) and post-fs-data.sh and service.sh are boot scripts to run code at boot (again not necessary if you're just adding files systemlessly to your device, see the linked docs for details).
Right now your module isn't adding anything, since the directories in the module's system folder are all empty. There's nothing to add. All it does is to replace those directories with empty ones (see #1 above). I'd say that using MMT is way overkill for such a simple module...
One you've installed a module Magisk will mount that modules files over your existing ones at boot. If the file under the real system path matches the one found in the module directory (under /data/adb/modules) everything is working as it should.
@Didgeridoohan Thanks for taking our time to give detailed reply and guidance
Finally was able to successfully install the module (named AudioEngine) and I do see files under /data/adb/modules but I have the following issue:
All these new files are under:
/data/adb/modules/AudioEngine/system/vendor folder and not under
/data/adb/modules/AudioEngine/vendor folder
Is that ok? If yes, why do we see /data/adb/modules/AudioEngine/vendor separately too?
Attached is final module as well as the screenshot of /data/adb/modules/AudioEngine/ as seen in file manager.
The /vendor folder is a symlink to /system/vendor, created by Magisk. That's just how Magisk works...
From your screenshot it looks like things are working as they should.
That uninstall script looks unnecessary though. The module isn't placing or altering anything outside the module folder, so when uninstalled there won't be any leftovers anyway.
im also try to do something similar with some audio libs in vendor partition for poco f2 with miui12 however if i add any libs to go into vendor/lib, for some strange reason, i lose wifi. theres no issues if vendor/lib/soundfx or vendor/lib64 is occupied with files just the lib directory only. the actual files that are going into lib are not replacing anything but are new files

[REQUEST] Module to replace a file in vendor/etc

I have an LG V60 phone and I would like to put the phone in "high impedance mode" all the the time for more power to the earphones even if they are less than 50 ohm impedance.
In LG V40/50, it was very simple by rooting the phone and making some modifications in the one of the files that was in the "vendor/etc" directory. The problem with LG V60 is it does not allow any write access to the vendor folder at all.
So the only feasible option that I can think of is to create a Magisk module that replaces the original file with the modified one. My biggest disadvantage is not knowing anything about writing codes including Magisk module ones. So I was wondering if anyone could create a Magisk module that would replace the original file through Magisk?
ADDTIONAL INOFRMATION:
I am running Magisk 25 on a fully rooted LG V60.
The file that needs to be changed is mixer_paths.xml and it resides in the "vendor/etc" folder. I have created the modified file.
So if someone is able to develop a module to accomplish this, I will place the modified file in the "system/vendor/etc" folder of the Magisk module, as I understand it.
Many thanks for your support!
You can use this template system in future as its super easy
The template itself is here
GitHub - Zackptg5/MMT-Extended: Magisk Module Template Extended

click the Code button, then download zip
then extract the zip into a folder and rename the folder "MMT-Extended-master" to the something more meaningful, like the name of your module

Notably the heading:
How do I make a MMT Extended mod?​
The steps for a simple file addition/replacement module, which are simple, should be steps 1-4, then 8. Then zip up the modules (as a zip) and test.
For you, if you read along (in Step 3) you will need to create a folder vendor, under the existing system one, and then a further etc folder under vendor, and put the necessary file (mixer_paths.xml in there.
If you try and fail, post back and someone will assist. But we prefer people to at least read the documentation and try first, ideally...this is the way the great didgeridoohan mentored myself and many others, he was not big on spoonfeeding
Imagine the satisfaction you might get finding out youre capable of such feats...i promise its not rocket surgery
Feel free to PM even, if you get stuck and think you have a silly question - of course knowing me, and i do, you'll probably get an even sillier, and off topic answer as well...
hint: you can knock out this basic module in far far less time than it took me to write all this
Thank you!
So my changes look like this:
1. Put the modified file in the system/vendor/etc folder of the Magisk module.
2. Made the needed changes to the customize.sh as attached.

So I made the module with the suggested changes in customize.sh and put the modified mixer_path.xml file in the system/vendor/etc folder of the module. Module installs fine with Magisk but when it reboots, the device hangs on the initial LG screen and does not go anywhere from there.
I am attaching the customize.sh snapshot. Also, attached is the module file.

mixer_paths files have been replaced for years, long before magisk even...i did it back as far as the Galaxy S2 from memory, so im not sure why this didnt work for you, was the mxer_paths file specifically for your device? i have no clear idea why it hasnt worked for you

Actually I had no problem in editing the mixer_tavil.xml file in LG V40/50. But when it comes to LG V60, the file is read-only. There is no way to edit it due to dynamic partition. Hence, I was seeking the only option available i.e., via Magisk module.

So, I encountered the same problem and found what you did wrong. I was able to write my own Magisk module and it works wonderfully. It took so much time to understand how to do it because there is no proper tutorial.
If you are still active and trying to know how to do it the right way, here comes the explanation:
The Replace = " /system/vendor/etc/ " must not be written as it completely wipes the actual folder from your phone. This is why you were not able to turn the phone on. It should be like this:
Replace = " " (That part must be blank)
The rest of the code is good. If you try it like this now, you will see it will work, just like mine did.
Cheers
Does not work. May I see your module? Please upload it here as attachment.
I even put my edited file under /data/adb/modules/<my directory>/system/vendor/etc. It shows up in Magisk as a module and the file loads (as it is not visible in file explorer) but there is no change in volume. So the thing is not working.
