[DEV][LB]ramdiskHijack - CM for locked bootloaders? - Sony Cross-Device General

I try to implement 2nd-init method (Motorola Milestone/Defy/etc) to hijack ramdisk.
With this method, we can change stock ramdisk, and we can boot CM with stock kernel...
Here's KeiranFTW's original thread too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608408, but I used 2nd-init instead of chroot
So, i'm done with following steps:
Successfully implement recovery and hijack ramdisk...
I can replace ramdisk contents with new one...
I can boot CM10.2, but it has defects:
Kernel and user space graphical drivers are mismatch, screen is yellowish (no blue), and a lots of mdp errors in dmesg, and no boot animation
no radio
there's some problem with /data/ / sdcard mount...
So i call for help, because i've limited time for this project, but it can interesting...
If you want to try it, do the following steps:
get hijack from here: https://github.com/dh-harald/hijack-ramdisk-huashan
get CM from source (preferred) or fxp, and delete boot.img from zip (and connected lines from update-script)
(optional) replace jelly.tar and recovery.tar to your device specific ramdisks, if you're on other device than Xperia SP
go to recovery, apply CM, (optional gapps), copy chargemon and hijack.tar to /system/bin and fix rights, and factory reset...
install 4.3 kernel only via flashtool (if you aren't on 4.3)...
Known problem, that you need original kernel modules too, to get wifi working (not tested)
I think, it's mainly CM configuration, but it maybe helps, when CM team starts to use Sony's 4.3 kernel based CM kernel...
Any helps are welcome...
Here's a screenshot about cm and locked bootloader and stock kernel... It's a bit confusing, because when i screenshot it via ddms, colors are fine, but in screen, there's no blue color, only yellow...
EDIT:
I've found that radio/fs problems are selinux related...
EDIT: Current status:
No wifi
No sdcard on /sdcard (only /data/media)
Got baseband, but still no radio
Visible glitches, yellowish screen (aosp <-> caf ?)

I use same method, like this, but i use 2nd-init instead of chroot... selinux prevents proper booting

ATM, i'm playing stock rom with 2nd-init, to minimalize differences..
I passed selinux problems with @Hashcode binaries, got bootlogo, and i've no selinux errors, etc.
Next problem is modem initialization:
== cut ==
Any idea?
I cut some sleeps, in script, and modem doesn't initialized before script runs 2nd-init.
Now it boots, but still no radio...

when will be a good working ROM?

Check this thread please.
 @TiMiN8R time is limited too.

I know this sounds crazy, but don't stop the sdcard service and some of the RIL services in hijack.sh.. and then see what happens.
The stock RAMdisk already starts some of these
You'll also probably need stock binaries too such as:
hostapd
wpa_supplicant
stock firmware files at /etc/firmware
/etc/wifi/calibration
libhardware_legacy.so
Hope I helped..

Yeah I think that it could (and should) work. The only thing is that it is hard testing on a locked bootloader, because if you mess up you have to reflash whole system again, gain root again and all that.
Xperia Go uses different board to Xperia SP (novathor v krait) so it may be a hard task.
I have an Xperia U, which is very similar to Xperia Go as far as I know, just it doesn't charge, I need to solder pins back onto board (long story short water damage). If I can fix it I'll see what I can do.

Do you think it would be possible to use this method to hijack ramdisk on Xperia Z?
It also has a Krait board as Xperia SP.
I want to try porting it to Xperia Z, but I don't have nearly as much experience in developing. So I'd like to know your opinion before I start searching more into the subject
Thanks!

wow!! JUST WOW!! I really like to do it for xperia ZR, I've tried to port omni which was aosp based to cm kernel and it worked with just replacing some libs and it is now perfect! but this process is much more interesting!! for CM11!!
also about that glitches? I think it's because of the hw composer lib, it might appear on logcat too

Hy guys! Really awesome work!
So will there be available CM11 or CM10.2 for XZ1 with lockedbootloader soon?

How could get this working on the z1s.
Thanks

Proper Galaxy S2 CRT off/on Animation (not white screen)

As seen here a video by whitehawkx: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szyp00_EvSU
The SSG2 Epic 4G Touch has proper CRT off/on capability. Not a white screen flash; it actually warps and colour separates the screen before performing a vertical compression. The ROM seen in the video has enabled the CRT features using the same functionality that JKay provides for us on the non-4G version.
When we enable it on our phones, we get a full white screen and then vertical compression only.
I copied the surfaceflinger modules from a stock Epic 4G ROM to a KK5 ROM, and CRT on and off performs the vertical compression on an INVERTED IMAGE. I suppose this is something to do with hardware differences between the devices but I am unsure how to investigate this further.
Any thoughts?
I've attached a cwm update that replaces the libsurfaceflinger modules in /system/lib. This will require root and clockworkmod recovery. I applied this to CheckROM RevoHD v4 (KK5 2.3.6), but I expect it to work for most current rooted ROMs. Please perform a full backup from recovery before you apply.
Looks like this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362354, is on the same track. The live screen rotation is also enabled. I checked the Epic 4G libsurfaceflinger modules and it seem they are of the exact same size as the ones taken from the Galaxy Note in that thread. I guess they are the same modules used. Doesn't really help though does it
Could you please perhaps create a zip to restore the files as they were? Seems far more sensible than restoring a full backup from 5mins before

Ive flashed that fancy screen rotation and it works like a charm i dont know why people are having issuea. Works 100% here. I might try flash this crt if it will be as smooth as the video u posted .
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
I have got the fancy screen rotator also installed. Can confirm it works well. Am on kk2.
Waiting or this also to be integrated. The solutions now are not really good.

If you look closely, when you turn off the screen, it will flip vertically first. The rotation effect is great, but we are looking for a perfectly working CRT effect that doesn't flip vertically.
The other thread about the 'rotation mod' is simply the same as what I have done here as the functionality for the rotation is in the same files at the CRT effect, except they have copied the two files from the Galaxy Note. I have copied them from the Epic 4G Touch, but it seems they are the same as the files from the Galaxy Note.
I was thinking about making such a thread. Nice, I totally agree. Looks like we are very close to fixing that CRT animation for good.
The Epic 4G Touch also has a Exynos processor right? The only difference is a larger screen. Why would it work good with that device and not with the S II?
Nice to bring this into the light.
Please some developers fix the mirrored CRT
It isn't that bad, it's more decent than the one in CM anyway
Great

Thank you for this mod, its far better to the standard crt effect. I'm on Rarity ROM 4.0 but looking to flash a newer ROM!
hey,
def. make a nandroid backup before trying this.
when i copied the files over via root explorer OR flashed it via CWM my phone stuck at the SGS2 screen. could easily ressurrect it via odin...still annoying.
I have already made a proper fix for CRT-off animation. It's already merged in TeamHacksung's ICS repos, and I submitted it also to gerrit for GB/CM7.

Where do I get this from? The two files on here when copied over only give me the fancy rotation, but no crt effect?

I think we should stick to a Samsung based ROM here, are you using a Sammy ROM? KI, KJ, KK, or is it CM7 based?
If you are on KK5 that's strange, but don't worry I've definitely seen that before. I have a feeling that on this device, older CWM versions handle the updater-script differently, and don't automatically set file permissions on files that were copied, or they don't mount the system partition properly. As far as using root explorer goes, that worked for me but I had to make sure that I applied rw-r--r-- permissions to both libsurfaceflinger.so and libsurfaceflinger_client.so after you copy them to /system/lib.

I tried creating an updater-script that backs up the current files to the sdcard and another that restores them using busybox commands, (just for fun), but it didn't work properly. Anyone had success with this?
Anyway, I have attached a cwm update that installs the original files from the XWKK5 2.3.6 build. See attachment below.

Awesome, so any chance this could be built into a Samsung based ROM, or does it only apply to Cyanogen? It would be awesome to get this working on our sammy custom ROMs before the forums get swamped by AOSP ICS hype

You need root to write to /system, so you would need to flash a kernel that gives you root. So a rooted stock ROM, yes, but not an untouched stock ROM.

Sorry by untouched I meant that it hasn't been modified by flashing. Yes it should work with KK2.

[PORT][WIP] Ubuntu Touch v0.1 Alpha - ONLY i9100 !!!

UBUNTU TOUCH v0.1 FOR i9100 ALPHA
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS VERY VERY UNSTABLE AND MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!​
This one has been build by @ bluefa1con so all the champagne & beer bottles goes to him. Is the same build as mines! I decided to release my version when I have most of the bugs fixed. HERE IS STILL PRESENT THE CHOPPY TEXT BUG! We think is caused by hardware-composition, we don't know right now.
Let's get started. First of all, WIPE YOUR DEVICE & FORMAT /SYSTEM, /CACHE, /PRELOAD! Then:
1. Download this build of Ubuntu Touch: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...c-demo/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
2. The both files from here: http://goo.im/devs/bluefa1con/ubuntutouch
3. Copy them to your internal / external memory. Note that dual-boot is not yet supported!
4. Wipe everything you can.
5. Install CM10.1 zip - DON'T REBOOT!
6. Flash quantal(...).zip file - AGAIN, DON'T REBOOT!
7. Finally, flash hdpi_overlay.zip and then you can reboot safely.
8. Enjoy!
Report any bugs here!
So far it looks stable over the UI. Perfomances are not so great because both of us we can't manage to get working all the 2-cores. HW acceleration is disabled because is very buggy also the audio. Wifi works, cellular + 3G also. It is not very useful right now but as far as this will get more and more updates, it will be very cool .
Note: DO NOT FLASH IT INTO OTHER VARIANTS OF i9100!
Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

Dear fellas,
Right now I'm doing a very beta test of my own build for Ubuntu Touch. So far it looks stable over the UI. Perfomances are not so great because I can't manage to get working all the 2-cores. HW acceleration is disabled because is very buggy also the audio. Wifi works, cellular + 3G also. It is not very useful right now but as far as this will get more and more updates, it will be very cool .
As soon as I finish with the final testing, I will upload the 3 ZIP files. Until that, prepare your phone and make a full BACKUP!
Note: I suggest to try it in dual-boot as I do and DO NOT FLASH IT INTO OTHER VARIANTS OF i9100!
Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

The purpose of this thread is to help people to solve their problems using the new MIUI ROM. By using this thread, we will keep the other thread clean and let developers work calmly, and more efectively.
So let's go, I will try to stay here, to see if I can help people solving their MIUI related problems.
Thank u everybody!!!

So they naturally have support for MIUI? Or do you still have to edit the boot.img to get them to work? If so, do you know of a guide that I could use?

Any kernel that is modded to work with MIUI needs to have a link to the source code posted with all changes properly documented,
I've been messing with it for a bit now and here are some glaring issues I see off the bat that I haven't solved yet.
1) Gallery issues. Not only are there two of them, but neither of them is reading my old pictures.
2) The popular browser bug. FCs every time you open it, even if you follow a link.
3) Does not properly mount as storage when connected via USB.
Other than that the battery life seems to be alright, not a whole lot that isn't working that they already don't know about either.
EDIT: So just to give an update.
1) I'm able to remove the extra gallery via root uninstall. And by manually initiating the media scanner you can get your pictures to reappear. There is an app called rescan media in the market that will do this for you.
2) Other browsers from the market work fine. So not a huge deal to work around while they fix it.
3) Still can't solve the mounting problem. I couldn't mess with it too much because it wasnt my PC.

[KERNEL][I8200N] Baroni-Kernel Alpha

I can give ABSOLUTLEY no gurantee!! All you do with your phone will be on your own. I'm not responsible if your phone will brick or whatever...
Attation! This kernel is for the I8200 variant ONLY... the I8190 is absolutley not compatible !!!
Kernel should be work also for I8200/I8200Q/I8200L-Variants, but can not be gurateed as the basis was I8200! If it works then a notice will be fine!
If you are not sure about the process, the data are important on your phone or you need it as a daily phone, then LET IT BEE, and wait for the messages that it is safe to use. Its important at the beginning that users with knowledge tried it at first !
Changelog:
12.02.2016: Long time ago, but now after a lot of investigating some new things comes up. Check what was done
05.01.2014: I try to work on the kernel over x-mas in my free time, but I must say that the source of samsung which was provided on opensource.samsung.com is not really funny stuff... there are so many coding errors, which was. not able for me to solve directly. So now I started to examine other kernel sources, and will try to port a more main.tained source to the i8200. From My point of view this will be the only way to produce an more accurate kernel for our device, and get the possibility to include also selinux what is needed for a kitkat-rom. Nevertheless, it is not easy to work on that stuff, because I'm not an expert on kernel work (but I learn every day more , so if you know someone with more kernel experiences, it would be very helpful to get a contact...
Baroni-V0.1 contains:
Basis of opensource from Samsung with some bugfixing
fixed recovery-boot-loop with a config-setting which must be used special in the Recovery zImage
Loglevel pushed down to minimum
Uber-Toolchain 4.9
set onDemand-Governor to standart. just to check how that works
start implementing SmartAssV2-Gonernor, but leave it inactive, due to some compile-errors.
bringing SELinux to work for future kernel releases if needed for > 4.4
Planned:
new govenors at the moment not established (will come later)
more other stuff (depending on learning-curve
Installation:
Install a recovery for safetyreasons (I prefer TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3rnfp3vabz9ee8/twrp_i8200_corrected.7z?dl=0
Read carefully the hints of the usage in the following firts post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/s-iii-mini-ve-i8200-n-t2826565 (There also the needed Odin (3.09) can be get)
Make backups of the complete phone, and be sure that you know what you do!
Download the right Firmware for your phone from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (just to have a other safety fallback in your hand!)
Download the file, start odin as usual (all kies-tasks closed!)
extract the file, and put it to AP
put the phone in Downloadmode (Vol-down,Home-key and powerbutton), and connect the phone with PC
flash the kernel, and let the phone reboot
pray
If things go wrong, please give everytime the following information's:
what you did before
what exactly happened (its not easy to help if you say: it did not work )
which rom in which version, which recovery and which version of my Kernel you use
try to get a /proc/last_kmsg (if a unknowen reboot appears) and/or Logcat, Build prop, CPU info, Sysctl, Kmsg, Dmesg and send it to me (or as a attachment to the post) for further analyse (you can use that tool for it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.andylog )
Attention: First checks seem to be that I8200 (without N or L or Q) did not work atm.

My Friend.
Yesterday I tried to install its kernel but my phone did not start properly.
I wanted to do a restore from a backup that had done, but the recovery (TRWP) did not restore the data partition.
Is there any chance that I happen again the same with this version?

Attention with TWRP-Recovery. Data-Partition restore seems to be not right. At the moment please did not use it, because it can delete your data-partition. We have to investigate it further! Other partitions seems to be ok, but its a good Idea if you copy your important data also manually to a other storage (like PC) while you trying things of this thread.

Did you made a backup with twrp (as described)? If yes, then make a restore only with boot marked in the list.
Otherwise, which version did you have? Plain n/l/q? Than I can make a package for Odin...

You are a funny guy... Flasching things without reading the guide is something like a other guy I know from kentucky fried movie (Danger-seeker)
Nevertheless, I added in first thread the stock kernel for i8200n to flash with odin.

Hi to all followers of this thread.
Just to give an update: I try to work on the kernel over x-mas in my free time, but I must say that the source of samsung which was provided on opensource.samsung.com is not really funny stuff... there are so many coding errors, which was not able for me to solve directly. So now I started to examine other kernel sources, and will try to port a more maintained source to the i8200. From My point of view this will be the only way to produce an more accurate kernel for our device, and get the possebility to include also selinux what is needed for a kitkat-rom...
Nevertheless, it is not easy to work on that stuff, because I'm not an expert on kernel work (but I learn every day more , so if you know someone with more kernel experiences, it would be very helpful to invite him/her. To ask in forums (also in xda) is something what I do, but unfortunately the responding are not every time safe...
So I wish you all a happy new year, and lets work together to bring our device a little bit forward
