Can anyone decompile The 4.0.4 system.img?

Can anyone please Decompile the System.img for Me?
I Have already tried it! But no luck for me!!!
I Want to make a flashable zip for this rom and for you guys But first i must have the system.img unpacked so that i can see the following folders:
App
Bin
etc
fonts
framwork
lib
media
tts
user
vendor
xbin
Thanks anyways!

Yes it's trivial (in linux anyhow). Use
Code:
simg2img system.img sys.img
mount sys.img /mnt
cd /mnt
zip -r /tmp/system.zip .

Just use the script (obviously not the binaries) from the tasks P7510 CWM thread and add the modem.bin to the script.

Hey man, I know people are saying in the XT 530 thread that I posted a link to your ROM without permission, but it is not so. I posted the link to another indonesian website from where I got the file. Like I mentioned, I was searching for this rom for warranty purposes and came across this on that particular website. Funny that google and even xda never threw up your post as a search result all this time.
No harm done, I did not repost your link.

ok but support on development for this phone very less info is available on internet for this model atleast we can club all the drivers from best roms and create a package to replace manually into the system.

Here's a quick trick :
Have 7zip on your pc.
Copy systemUi.apk to desktop.
Extract using 7zip.
U'll have the statusbar icons in res/drawable...
Find new png images(any other phone's systemui.apk)
Now open 7zip locate to that .apk and replace all those files with new one.
Replace systemui.apk back into system/app.
Restart the device n u r done.
If u want me to do it for u pm me i'll do it when m free.

ROM problems thread

Hi everyone, I'm making this so that any problems with ROMS can be discussed here, and any associated fixes. This way we don't clutter the actual ROM threads and all the problems/fixes are in one place. :good:
I'll start it off.
I just ported over a 4.1.2 ROM but the soft keyboard FC's literally every 5 seconds. Any ideas? I tried pulling a logcat from the computer and it says "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory
Attached is a screenshot.
I'm gonna try to install a different keyboard from the playstore and see if that one works.

I had that same problem on one of my first ICS ports, just sub it out for any of the working ones on the Shift. Don't forget to switch out the lib too.

I would say the same thing as ryan, as far as the keyboard is concerned.
And as far as the logcat problem, the only time i have ever had that error was when it was a bad flash. Googling the error gives you a bunch of different reasons this error could happen. I doubt it is a kernel problem, as some sites suggests, because I'm guessing you are using one of the kernels we already have and none of the other roms have the same problem. So I would look into one of the other suggestions that pop up when googling.

Yeah, I'll look into it when I get home today. And i know it cant be a bad flash because i wiped 10 times before flashing it.
Sent from my PG06100

Well i think I found the error. I found a post on stackoverflow that led me to the etc/init.d folder...and in one of the files there I found this
Code:
rm /dev/log/main
Now why that was in there, i have no idea. Hopefully that fixes that part and then I'll just swap out the soft keyboard and Latin_ime.so to fix the AOSP keyboard and all should be good....so if all goes well, expect a new port in the dev section :good:

Yeah 4.2 GApps really screw stuff up on 4.1. I went like three days trying to get JBv6 to work right and was getting really pissed when I realized I was using the wrong GApps.:banghead:

Really easy, replace the apk with one that you know works... For this example we'll use the 4.2 keyboard from my ROM. Delete both the apk and the libjniLatin_IME.so from system/lib. Replace with the working apk and the corresponding lib (libjniLatin_IMEgoogle.so or something close to that) and rezip. If that doesn't work see if you can get a flashable like the Xperia T keyboard to work after boot. If that doesn't work, there is probably a major problem.

Did the logcat tell you anything about the error? Most times it will mention the lib missing. Even if you see it there it may be the wrong version, and you would need to grab it from the port.

Jellybelly Omega stuck
I flashed Jellybelly Omega to the Shift following the instructions to the letter (multiple times now) and it just gets stuck at the HTC screen. I have left it there for an hour or so, because I know that first boot can take a while. But it just sits there on the HTC screen.

Are you s-on unlocked?
If you are you need to
1. Open the ROM with 7zip or winrar and move the boot.img to where fastboot is located and then run this command from fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If your not check the md5 sum with the one provided on dev-host. And redownload/transfer if needed

Your stumbling is way better than my searching

There are many ways to do this but this is the easy way just extract the whole ROM to a folder and go to system folder and under it u will see built.prop file open it in notepad++ and not the notepad,, and delete the line and restart accordingly

[TOOL] Password/pin/pattern removal tool flashable in TWRP

Hi, I'm a lazy bastard, and I also rock a number of ROMs. It's such a pain to remember my previous pattern lock if I want to restore a TWRP backup from a different ROM. I found this easy method to get rid of security.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/themes/tool-remove-lockscreen-password-pin-t3692411
When you are ready to use it, just restore your ROM backup in TWRP; Flash this Unlock_PIN_PW.zip; When your phone boots up you should have no pesky security problems.

Works good?

You can also just delete all gatekeeper.* and locksettings.* files under /data/system after restoring the backup.
Under 8.X ROMs there is just a locksettings.db file, if I'm right.

Hi, I'm a lazy bastard, and I also rock a number of ROMs. It's such a pain to remember my previous pattern lock if I want to restore a TWRP backup from a different ROM. So I made a flashable zip that automates the process of deleting the five /data/system files associated with security after I restore a ROM.
Please be aware that this may not work if you have encrypted /data. If any brave soul wants to test it, let me know.
So, directions are:
Download Unlock_PIN_PW.zip from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3gcDbDvV4MkWXRHTUswY3JSYnc
Place it in your /sdcard or otg for safe keeping (you never know when you might need it)
When you are ready to use it, just restore your ROM backup in TWRP; Flash this Unlock_PIN_PW.zip; When your phone boots up you should have no pesky security problems.
