Aroma freezing, my new app to solve it, does it freeze for you? - One (M7) General

So I will just say upfront that after constantly keeping up to date with the current ROM I'm using, my htc one freezes during installs of rom, tweaks, themes, etc. This freeze is apparently to do with Aroma and our touch screen.
The way around it (somewhat) is to pre-modify the config file in note pad, line after line and it's time consuming. Pre-modifying the config allows us to simply hit next repeatedly to quickly get to the installation process because all of the options are already set.
I created an app called 'Thaw It' to help create a config instead of manually editing it. It runs in Android. It's an app that reads the config, displays checkboxes and descriptions, allowing the user to check install options, and then finally outputs a new config file for Aroma.
Can I get some replies on whether this community would be interested in using my app? If no one replies I will assume everyone is happy with their work arounds (whether that be rebooting phone and retrying, or hand modifying the config with notepad).
Not sure if this thread is in the right place. It's purpose is to gauge the need for my app....

You can use the volume up/down keys to change the currently selected item and then use the Power button to change that item (click a button, toggle a checkbox, etc) to completely avoid having to use the touchscreen. It's my understanding this fixes the Aroma lockups with the HTC One. That's how I've flashed the last three ROMs and they've all finished fine, though Aroma still locks up at the end when you select Next to reboot. At that point you can just hold down the power button until the phone shuts off and turn it back on and you're good to go.

Sure, I would love to use your app.
Thnx

Yes I knew about the power and volume buttons being an option.
Here is the only bad thing about the app. It extracts the config file from the zip and reads it, but does not rebuild it into the zip when it's done.
So the last step is take the new generated config file, and drag it back into the zip to replace the original.
The reason I don't automate this is because it would take a very long time to unpack the entire zip, and repack it programmatically using the built in libraries.
still usable?

AROMA works fine with Clockworkmod Touch Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
However, if you already have TWP backups, they won't work with the above recovery.

I've never had a problem using touch, it froze on me while using vol/power buttons.

Wouldn't it be better to try and fix aroma with the aroma dev instead of creating an app to work around a bug?

Aroma is constantly being updated but general release of working builds may take a while. Amarullz knows what he is doing except he doesn't have the One or s4. OP is just offering a work around for now and for current use.

Amarullz manage to fix Aroma already for HTC One. It's just he still has some minor things to be tweaked before he officially releases it. Although he already released the beta version to the public.

[Script] WiFi Only (great for inactive devices)

Thanks:
Scary Alien for helping with some of my brainstorms
CPCookieMan for pointing me in the right direction with my initial thoughts for this project
MongooseHelix for the idea of the script vs a flashable zip
This is a very simple script that utilizes the radiooptions command to disable the radio but still allow use of WiFi. I wanted to make it to be run in init.d on startup but haven't successfully got it working that way yet so for now it can be run with script manager. This script can be run as follows:
1. Download the script and place it somewhere on your SD Card. (Maybe make a folder named Scripts to keep things organized)
2. Download Script Manager from the market.
3. Open Script Manager and navigate to where you saved the script then select the script.
4. Check the options for run as root and if you always use wifi only because you don't have service on your device check off Run at boot as well.
5. When prompted by superuser allow superuser permissions.
I have tested this script on my Incredible and my Eris as well and should be universal to run on any android device.
Download Here
If you are using this on an inactive device and don't want the activation screen coming up after reboot and new ROM flash follow these simple steps.
*NOTE: you need to be using a ROM that has EPST.apk (Sense or stock based) in it for this procedure to work.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
The guy that made super charger script has a script that can be ran with gscript and used to modify the init file which is supposed to change it so you can run scripts on boot. I think its only for stock roms tho.

I'm wondering if it could be done by adding the commands in the init.rc file inside the boot image instead of an int.d script. I think the reason it's not working the way I have it setup so far is that it requires su permissions in order for the command to take effect. I'm still researching other ways but for now this method does work

I think so, especially for those of us wanting to build ROMs that give our Eris's a second life as a non-phone touch device.
I know i've been wanting to try my hand at building a ROM like that, just waiting to upgrade in a month as my cell is the only phone i've got, just in case something bad happens to it
Hey, just wanted to say thanks. I don't have a use for this at this time but I can definitely imagine I'll have a use for it eventually!
Whenever I take advantage of my upgrade, I'll be sure to give this a try on my Eris. Right now it's my primary device though. Still, great idea CS!
Works great on my rebuilt Eris ..Thanks CS

It will work fine without EPST. EPST is needed for ##778 to work for disabling the activation screen. The script itself does not require that apk, it uses the radiooptions command.

[How To] (video) Supercharge Ice Cream Sandwich!!!

EDIT: This doesn't work on ODEX ROMs! That would be stock ROMs, as most custom ROMs are deodexed. If it is an odex ROM, you can do the mod, but you have to do it manually (the web app doesn't work). Check out the second post in the supercharger thread for a how-to. But if you are on a custom ROM the method in the video will work!
Alright, so I have been reading about how to supercharge ICS for awhile, but the process looked daunting. However I figured it out, and it works great! This will work on ANY ROM, so try it out!
I have been using this for awhile, and it's just super smooth. I've been using it a lot lately, and it hasn't given me a bit of lag yet! It's just gone!
What is V6?
V6 supercharger is a script that manages the RAM memory. This makes multi-tasking much faster, and it knows when to kill off apps that are taking a lot of RAM. This makes your phone a lot faster and more efficient!
Here is the person who made the script: V6 Supercharger
Here is a dl link to the script: DOWNLOAD LINK
I'm in! So... How Do I Do this?
Well I made a video for you:
Here are instructions:
1. Download the supercharger script from the link above and put it on the root of your SD card.
2. Get an app called script manager from the market. It's free. Open it up and click on the supercharge script from the list of what's on your SD card. Click the SU button, then hit run.
3. Go through the setup. Set scrolling speed to 1. When they ask if you want to integrate it into the system, say yes. You will get to a list of about 30 options after a little bit.
4. Select number 6 (I know I said 7 in the video, but 6 has better multitasking) for this phone, and hit enter. It will go through a whole bunch of stuff.
5. It will ask you to superclean and restart. SAY NO. You'll do that inn a minute. Just hit the home button.
6. Open the browser on your phone and go to : android.mimic.ca and hit the upload button. There will be a popup, select root explorer (Install it if you don't have it already). Go into system/framework/ and select the services.jar file. It will take you back to the website. Hit upload. The page will reload. Now select the CMW flashable zip option and download it. Go to root explorer and move that to the root of your SD card.
7. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, then flash the zip. Reboot. Done! Enjoy the speedieness!

Let me know what ya think!
Alright, so enough questions have been asked that I should start giving answers to them here.
Q. Do I need to re-flash the file in recovery if I want to make changes?
A. Not if you make changes to the the supercharger script (ie. change options). The only time you have to flash it is if you upgrade/change ROMs. Just remember to make a new one, and don't flash the old file!
Q. Isn't option "X" better/faster/easier on battery?
A. Play around with them and see what works for you. I like option 6. Not too aggressive, but it still keeps control. Just use the options that are for your phone (ie 512HP for this phone because it has that much RAM. So option 5, 6, or 7). I also use the nitro-lagnullifier. It makes things even faster!
Q. Does it affect battery life?
A. Yes, in a good way! I get better battery life.
Q. How do I know if it worked??
A. Open up script manager, and go to the supercharger file. let it run, and once you get to the menu with all the options, it will tell you if you are supercharged or not right below that.
Those were the most commonly asked questions. If they don't answer your questions then post 'em!

This shouldn't hurt the battery. I used to use it on my Epic fairly often especially once the Gingerbread leaks started coming out. There are several different routes to go with the script too. It can also be used to improve multitasking such as when you have multiple apps open at once.

You can patch it manually. Check out the link in the OP. However, it requires unziping the file, opening it in notepad++, editing the code, zipping it back up, putting it back in the phone, and editing some stuff with terminal emulator. It's a bit over most people's heads, and the website makes it easy by making the patched services.jar a flashable zip.
If you want to do it, be my guest. It's all in the second post of the supercharger thread.

I have only used it on custom ROMs. The web app doesn't work for odex ROMs (stock), but it will work on custom ROMs. Try one of them out, it should work then. just titanium backup, flash new ROM, and restore backup. Won't loose your apps!

Sprint Cant Activate Service - Needs Kernel or someting - Total Noob

Hey yall,
I recently purchased what I consider to be one of the best phones one the market (Epic 4g) for the second time and this one I bought off of Swappa.com for $100. The phone is in great condition, with ICS which my last Epic didnt have, and it also has cyanogen 9 mod which my old phone didnt have either. I have never modified a phone or rooted them or anything like that. But I like the cyanogen mod so I dont mind it. The phone also has the latest clockwork recovery.
But the phone cannot activate with Sprint because the rep says the numbers have been wiped from the phone. I read somewhere that I may need a certain kernel that mimics the codes or replaces the codes or something?
Can anyone point me to a stable, reliable source for a kernel that will let me activate the phone and keep cyanogen 9 mod?
Sorry if this is just a total f**#$# noob question that makes you want to pull your hair out but I honestly dont know anything about the latest software or anything like that. However I am very resourceful and I got this far, I think I can install a kernel if someone could just point me in the direction of a good file to download.
Thanks in advance!

We don't have mobile odin. You will need to odin stock and the cwm recovery and nubernel so you can keep the recovery because samsung has it so stock recovery returns after a reboot, and nubecoder fixed that so you'll need his kernel. Then you can reflash cm9. Once the cm team or me include nexus s 4g ril and modem in a build, then we can make updating prl and profile and activating possible. With ours it is impossible.

If he already has CM9 then he already has custom recovery (and root, etc) All he needs is the multiboot flashable to temporarily boot into the stock rom. The latest version is FC09 - I'll see if I can link to that thread, but it is in the development section (Epic 4G development)
EDIT: Here is the multiboot thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...te PRL and Calibrate Sensors for CM9 and AOKP
The OP of that thread contains a link to the correct page on the Epic CM team blog, in which you find full instructions, a link and the md5sum (definitely verify the md5 before continuing)
You will need your computer to extract the archive (most android apps for archive files seem to struggle with this one, and while I swear I did it successfully once, I have been unable to duplicate that result or find the app that worked), and it's generally easier to download on the PC as well to avoid a few quirks.

Yeah, I just noticed that TazFanatic had already posted it without a description - but the same link from two people is better than no links from anyone, I suppose
That archive needs to be extracted to your sdcard in a very specific directy structure. Check the instruction in the blog where you downloaded the multiboot, but I believe you should be able to extract to the root of the sdcard (with a computer, not your phone - I can't stress that enough) with the option checked to recreate the folder structure.
Once extracted, the actual flashable zip is found in the FC09 folder, which is in the multiboot folder (and may still be EL30, although I have an updated version which I was sure came from that page). Flashing that zip from custom recovery will not actually install anything, but it will reboot the phone after setting it up to boot the rom on the sdcard instead of reading the internal storage where your rom (CM9) is installed.
But as I said, that page should cover all of the details, so be sure to read it thoroughly and you shouldn't have any problems (or additional questions on the subject) from this point forward

Go to the settings screen (menu capacitive key, then "settings" on the touch screen - just in case, I don't know how familiar you are with android or the Epic so I'm just covering the bases, lol)
From there, look for the "storage" sub menu, where you'll be able to see if the phone is detecting the sd card (if you have the card in and it does NOT give you the option to mount or unmount the sd card, then it thinks no card is present)
If the phone is also not detecting the sdcard, then it sounds like the card was corrupted - you may have to reformat it, which will erase everything on it. If it is detected, then maybe rebooting your computer will clear out whatever is preventing it from detecting the card when you put it in the computer... but it sounds like you'll most likely find that the phone isn't even detecting it - try rebooting the phone and checking it again under storage, before you start worrying about reformatting the card...
Also, for everyone else following along - this is why you should not sell a phone with a custom rom on it. Too many problems, better to give the new owner a link to xda and let them decide if they want to take the leap

Its not the same as on the old epic, now when I hold on the screen it just pops up the wallpaper selector, I can't add a shortcut, someone tell me what to do?

Hold your finger on the app/widget while in the app drawer.

Your first question is quite broad, so I highly recommend reading the EpicCM blog site and the official site, cyanogenmod.com, because there are so many features that we will likely forget a few (unless we read the web pages for you, but then you have to trust our summaries... anyone remember the telephone game from childhood? Best to go straight to the source, lol)
That doesn't mean we won't try, of course... but I can't decide on a favorite feature, lol. The theme engine is a well-known feature that is almost a CM exclusive (it originally came from T-Mobile phones). I'm currently on the CM7 side of my usual cycle of roms, so I have to work from memory until I decide to switch back (I stay with 7 most of the time because I can't afford a decent replacement battery, lol)
As for homescreen shortcuts, both apps and widgets can be found in the app drawer - long-press and drag to drop them on the homescreen. There may be a direct dial widget (I haven't messed with direct dial shortcuts since long before CM9, so no guarantees on this part) - dropping it on the homescreen should open a dialogue where you can choose the contact to shortcut to. I know that other widgets that have variables that lack logical default values, like the direct navigation widget, work that way... I'm just not 100% sure if there is a direct-dial, or just a shortcut to the contact info

Ok that works for apps, what about putting specific individual contacts as shortcuts on the homescreen(s)? Can't figure that one out... need to get my wifey on there... thanks in advance y'all.

I think nova launcher allows normal widget placing. You can always try adw launcher

[MOD] Disable Mobile Data On First Boot

What's this?
As the title mentioned above, It disables your mobile data right after flashing a rom through recovery so that your money won't be deducted after boot
Personal Information
For me, I use it because I use a prepaid card and every time the mobile data is enabled after boot. It deducts some amount of money from my prepaid causing me to lose money every time I flash a new rom.
What is modified?
apns_conf.xml which can be found in system/ etc
How to flash?
1. Flash any custom rom that you would like to use through recovery
2. When it's done, go to mounts & storage and mount /system
3. Flash MobileDataOff.zip from attachments below
3. Reboot system and enjoy a safer way to flash roms
If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to comment below and make sure to hit thanka if this works for you. :good:
And your really think only the empty file is the solution?
<apns version="6">
</apns>
Just look into this thread. In the script the original conf is restored after the initial copy of the empty file.
And there is a hint that pressing the end call button might help instead (didn't try because I do not need it).
Be fast while setting up your phone and disable the mobile network before it even establish a connection

Been there done that. Sometimes some roms have setup wizards which takes quite a while to load. And sometimes for what reason my prepaid decreases from a 2 to a 1 digit number. That's why I decided to do this mod.

yup the reason I made this into a flashable zip is because some people [like me] don't know how to run scripts or adb.
Okay going to update this to include credits and a restore file so that it does the same function as the script

Does this work?
How about removing the sim before flashing...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
well, nice.
i usually insert a spare sim with zero balance (i knw we all hv spare sim cards). this way i setup everything reatore titanium backup, contacts etc. n finally i change my sim to the one which i normally use..
ummm hmmmm??
and NO.. few ROMs out there want sim to be insrted so this might do the trick to fool Newly flashed ROM..

FAQ - MIUI v5 (imanesaurus)
FAQ:
Installation:
1. How do I install this Rom?
Awesome tutorial by @itseasy21
If you already have Cwm, you can proceed from step 6 on.
itseasy21 said:
FOR FRESH INSTALL FROM STOCK ROM
1. Download the prebuilt release of MIUI you wish to install.
Optional: Download any supplemental 3rd-party applications packages for the device you wish to use. (You have to install a 3rd-party app to get the Google apps, like Gmail, Play Store, and Youtube.)
2. Extract the boot.img from the zip to your computer, you will need this file for fastboot.
3. Place the MIUI .zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place any supplemental packages' .zip file on the root of the SD card.
4. Put the phone into fastboot mode:
5. Open a terminal on the PC and enter the following:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
While the device reboots, press the Volume rockers a few times to load recovery.
6. Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm your selection, although for some devices the power button is used as a "back" button to go up one level, in which case the home button is used to confirm the selection.
Optional/Recommended: Select backup and restore to create a backup of the current installation on the Xperia SP.
7. Select the option to wipe data/factory reset.
8. Select Install zip from sdcard.
9. Select Choose zip from sdcard.
10. Select the MIUI file you placed on the sdcard. You will then need to then confirm that you do wish to flash this file.
Optional: Install any additional packages you wish using the same method.
11. Once the installation has finished, return back to the main menu, and select the reboot system now option. The Xperia SP should now boot into MIUI.

I put in the spoiler to shorten the tutorial.
2. Can I install this on locked Bootloader?
-No, you cannot, because this Rom uses a different Kernel than stock. And it won't ever be possible.
3. Can I flash this over the stock Rom?
Yes, you can, as long as you have your Bootloader unlocked and Cwm installed. Please refer to question 1.
4. How can I access Cwm to update my Rom?
The Kernel of MIUI v5 doesn't have a logo or indicator. You have to press the Volume+ button several times when the phone boots up.
5. My phone is stuck on bootlogo:(MIUI symbol)
That's called a bootloop. As long as you can access Cwm, nothing is lost. Post here a detailed showcase what you did.
6. Nothing works anymore, can't even switch my phone on:
That can happen if you don't follow the instructions!
Download the latest Flashtool and a suiting .ftf file. Put that in the /firmwares folder in flashtool, then start it up and choose the lightning symbol and "flashmode". Follow the instructions.
It can happen that nothing happens. Then we cannot help you further, you bricked your device.
2. After the Installation:
1. I can't control my headset with it's button!
This is a known Problem with all unofficial (and buildon-) Cyanogenmod Builds.

That may be done via editing .xml-files inside themes. I don't know more about that, but you may find info on the Internet
There are themes that have the clock on the bottom right corner, but they don't have lock ring.

Yeah, but i dont know how...
Music player - double tap on lock

The effect is probably theme - related. Look in themes/category/components/status bar
Shuffle songs via tapping on the album art in the middle of the 3 now playing screens, then it will look like this
Awesome song by the way

i don't know exactly how this one can be, maybe something wrong on my patchrom source, or maybe its a new feature for latest miui.
but if this is a bug, i will fixed it ASAP.

That's a bug i also face.
I tried to solve it via logging out my account and logging it in again. Didn't work. So I just disabled synchronisation.
Gesendet von meinem C5303 mit Tapatalk
After i update to 3.11.1 but its still showing 3.10.25 as current version in abour phone>MIUI version
Same here
Im afraid the multilanguage patch made the performance a lot worse
I will keep on testing, maybe I'll reset the phone and look if it gets better.
I mean there are no problems with using the Rom in semi german, but there's a resistance against that in my head, I want a fully german Rom that works fluidly even if I don't need it.
What do you guys think?
Gesendet von meinem C5303 mit Tapatalk
@madmiths i forgot to modified build.prop.
im just repo sync my patchrom, and build it
but all of the features is definitely miui 3.11.1, you can check all miui changelog here
those all feature is available on newest version of mine
@keenofhiphop
dont need to worry about that.
like i said it will be decrease your performance, it just a littlebit you almost didn't noticed that.
so if you gonna tested it, just install multilangpatch, and if you feel performance decrease too much just install the main rom again.

If you really want it to dissappear you can disable sync by going to settings -> Sync -> Enable Sync (Switch it to off).
I believe that this also affects your other sync accounts sadly (Google etc.) but it got rid of it and only comes when I try to sync manually.
Also a quite serious bug report, I got a call today, but the internal speaker didn't work for me. Not sure if I accidentally hit some setting, but it worked the second I switched to the loud speaker.

Seems like I was a bit too hectic... After wiping cache and dalvik cache it is normal that app starts take a little longer :/
I just have never experienced it taking so long, now everything seems to be ok again.
