Build.prop Worktool for Windows (v1.7 - July 26 2011)

Script is standalone : you can download latest version without upgrading from previous version
v1.6 > Big update on 3G+ tweak addon, more powerful and much faster
Build.prop Worktool - A powerful but safe build.prop manager/editor
Hi !
Okay guys, since I know how powerful the build.prop can be, I love to play with it.
But I was bored to edit using Root Explorer, or using ADB command-line...
So... Let me present you my outrageously complicated (internally) script to manage your build.prop right from your computer, with ease, fun and safety !
GENERAL :
For any Windows NT kernel (Developped under Windows 7 x64... so should work everywhere )
Portable and ready to use - No installation required, all files included (ADB with drivers also)
Lightweight (<3Mb unzipped, because of ADB very big lol)
Tested on XPERA x10i but should work on ANY Android powered device (if your ROM uses a build.prop located into /system/)
KEY FEATURES :
Easy open/edit your build.prop in your default text editor
Backup creation/management
Save backup on your computer and/or on your device
Safe (Automatic backup generator - Manages up to 2 backup files, exhaustive log file)
Automatic permissions management
Add-on capability : possible to add automated installation scripts to tweak your build.prop
List of present add-ons : 3G+ enhancement tweak
Very clean : deletes all temporary files, auto start/stop ADB server and kills the process when useless
Convenient : direct access to this thread, easy to use
v1.6+ : (beta) Build.prop XPlorer, to check with ease your build.prop
I based the main script on my 3G+ enhancement script, available on the official thread.
** As usual... Use at your own risk **
Test, comment, criticize, if you find anything, just drop a comment or PM

FAQ
FAQ​- Supported devices
It is first developped for Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10, but it should work on any Android device with these requirements :
* Rooted
* File system is mounted Read/Write.
* Build.prop is located into /system/ and named "build.prop"
Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10 : fully working
Samsung Galaxy S2 : half working (file system is read-only...)
- How it's working ?
The script works generally in this way :
It downloads from your device your build.prop and creates two temporary backups.
Then, it opens one of the temporary backup into notepad, to let you edit all you want.
Once file closed/saved, the file is reconfigured automatically, then sent back to your device.
The script allows you next to keep, on wish, the remaining backup and to reboot your device.
- Is this safe ?
The script makes a backup of your build.prop every time you try to access it. There's also human-friendly log file to help you identify problems with ease.
There is also NO automatic upload to your device : the script will always ask you before if you want to upload the new build.prop to your device. Even if you upload it, backup is stored and can even be stored safely on your device for future use.
- Is this all automatic ?
Yes. The script makes backups by itself, reboot your device for you (if you wish), and of course change permissions. But don't worry : it will ask your approval for any important process
- The 3G tweak makes my connection unstable !
The Manager is based on my 3G+ enhancement script, using "Full Mode". In the original script, there is also a "Lite Mode" for some networks (like AT&T) I included in v1.3.
To make your network stable, the script will disable the two lines below :
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 (will be turned to 0)
ro.ril.enable.a53=1 (will be turned to 0)
To get full details about the 3G+ tweak, check the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951765
Why is there "so many" different batch files ?
It's easier for me to improve/maintain the batch by splitting it into different functions. There's a main script, and subroutines called when needed.
Of course, all the subroutines, including addons, are programmed to be run only from main script. You can run any subroutine separately, but it will mostly crash and create useless files not being deleted. Always run the main script, and do no try to run separately subroutine - not dangerous, but 100% useless/buggy.
- It's not working.
* Make sure your device is :
** ROOTED,
** Full external access to system (su command) [if not, will drop errors like "Operations not permitted" or "file system is mounted read only")
** USB Debugging is enabled,
** Connected using USB and all USB drivers are installed/working.
* You might need administrative privileges in Windows to fully run the program.
* If you're running your device from recovery, you may need to mount /system/ folder before running the script (Partition tools > Mount /system).
- It's still not working.
* Drop a message in the official thread.
* If you get errors about file system Read only, try to run your device in Recovery mode, and fix permissions.
- Will the script create lots of files/make a big drive footprint ?
I hate programs creating lots of temp files. So, the script was developped to create files AND to clean/remove them all once everything is done. Even if it crashes without removing files, you just need to restart the script - it will clean all previous temporary files.
If ADB is run, it WILL be fully closed once everything is done. Server will be killed, then ADB process (named adb.exe) will be killed. Your system will be as clean as it was before running the script.
The script is of course fully portable : there's no installation needed. You can put the script where you want, but you just need to keep all script files/folders in the same folder.
In a future release, I'll add something to purge the log file.
- Which OS is supported ?
It's developped in Windows 7 x64. You should be able to fully run it on any 2000+ Windows NT OS.
As it is NT script, it will work only on Windows computer. It will also not work properly on pure DOS (it's using NT commands and Windows-related commands not included in older Windows NT systems, like NT4).
Report if you tested it on other Microsoft OS (NT 4, Windows 95, 98 or 2000, Dos 6.22...)
- I wanna contribute.
Just right click the .cmd/bat files, edit them with Notepad or anything you want
You can also send me a message (thread or PM) if you notice some piece of code I can improve with other commands (I don't know DOS commands enough )

Known bugs :
* (Main) Will not detect if build.prop.bak and build.prop.old are the same (not very important, I'll improve this later)
* Report anything you find

Developper/Advanced user addendum
(Write in progress)
Backup management
The script creates up to two backups, localed in main directory :
- build.prop.bak
- build.prop.old
Build.prop.old is generated if the script detects there's an existing build.prop.bak, to avoid accidental loss of it.
Build.prop.old is the final backup, and WILL BE DELETED if detected. The script manages backups like this :
1. If an existing build.prop.bak is present...
>> Script will detect for build.prop.old presence - if it exists, it will be deleted,
>> the build.prop.bak will be renamed to build.prop.old.
2. If there is no build.prop.bak detected...
>> Script will generate a build.prop.bak.
ADB Error detection
Error 2 (device not connected) works using a trick - it's not really related to device state.
In fact, the script will attempt to connect your device to download your build.prop. Once it is done - or not - the script checks if a local build.prop file was created. If it's not present, it means ADB encountered an error - about 90% because device is not connected - and will display error 2.
Keep in mind then there is small chance that your error does NOT come of device not connected : administrative privileges missing (don't allow the script to create the file), drivers buggy, ...)

Hi,
I cant use your WorkTool V1.6
It says ADB cmd not found.

v1.7 out, sorry for delay, I prepared it few days ago then I forgot to upload ^^

Really good work

Hey mate...
lovely piece of work..!
saved me hours at my work...
thanks a lot works flawlessly on
sony xperia tipo dual with cm 10

Ur da bomb
As you probably already know, you are DA BOMB, BABY!
I just [snicker] used your tool to save my rather idiotic...er, 'brain' from suffering through a dumb, hard night re-flashing SlimKat 4.4.2 back onto my LG Optimus G e970 just to fix something I should've never done to begin with (change screen density to make it easier to read, of course, but without really knowing what I was doing)...
aherm...well, anyway, here I sit at a pre-midnight hour thanking you profusely, sir, because, as I said at the start...
UR DA BOMB!!!
Here's hoping you get bored a lot more often...it's a keeper, fer sure.:victory:

Good work dude... Nice toolkit, loved it very much... I am integrating your tool into my new upcoming toolkit. Dont worry i am not gonna steal it, will just use it. Will surely give you proper credits for that

Does this work with the stock recovery without root?
My device: Xperia XA2

thanks for this useful helper. i know how to modify build.prop - thats not the reason why i came here. what i don't know is the meaning of all this different entries in build.prop for example ro.expect.recovery_id - which there was a catalog with information about included in a build.prop Tweak GUI

sorry but the program cant detect/ acces build.prop
my device is rooted, has debugging on and is connected via USB
plz help

[SCRIPTSET v2.6][02/28/2012] Build native GNU/Linux applications: the easy way

New: SANE (USB Scanner backend and drivers) - OTG equipped device needed to work for this - YES, Scanner Access Now possible and Easy with your phone
This can (in combination with tesseract-ocr) be very useful to recognize text from scanned images.
For pictures see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23046120&postcount=187
Update 01/30/2012: Now with a small android app (ScriptStarter) to start services and other shell scripts easily from the GUI. See bottom of the post.
WHAT'S POSSIBLE WITH THIS SCRIPT:
With this bash script your are able to build relatively easy from source a lot of native software (over 90 at the moment) from the GNU/Linux community for your Android phone and you will have
the good experience with free software.
All these tools and programs are not "apps for the GUI" for Android but native running command line tools "under the surface" of your Android GUI like the kernel and other services.
Don't ask me if it makes any sense to install program xy (like MySQL) on a phone. This is your decision. It's possible, so try it and see what you can do with it.
Note: I tested most of the compiled software on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (my phone). I cannot test it on a variety of phones because I have no mobile phone shop...
Currently buildable with this scripts (abstract, see the full list in package_selection.conf):
PHP 5.3.10 (with almost all extensions and XCache)
MySQL 5.5.19 (if you want a full database server on your phone...)
lighttpd 1.4.30
OpenSSH 5.9p1
OpenSSL 1.0.0f
Samba 3.6.3
cURL 7.23.1
bash 4.2
BusyBox 1.19.3
ImageMagick 6.7.4-10
OpenVPN 2.2.2
Python 2.7.2
Node.js 0.6.7
git 1.7.9
Wget 1.13.4
Rsync 3.0.9
TCPDUMP 4.2.0
Midnight Commander 4.8.1
Pure-FTPd 1.0.35
screen 4.0.3
iptables 1.4.10 (without bionic bug "getnetbyaddr()" and with iptables-save/restore!)
BIND 9.8.1-P1
Lua 5.2.0
Ruby 1.9.3-p0
usbutils 004
MTDUtils latest git
GCC 4.6.2 (c, c++)
GNU Coreutils 8.14, Binutils 2.22, Findutils 4.4.2, Inetutils 1.8
QEMU 0.15.1
SANE 1.0.22
tesseract-ocr 3.01
...
a lot of libraries, development tools and other useful programs
...
FEATURES:
automatic download and untar the cross-compilers (if not already done) for cross compiling
automatic download and untar the source packages (if not already done), that you have selected
solve dependences and reserves additional needed packages
apply patches to the sources if necessary
build them, "install" them in a folder for later "ready to transfer" to your phone and stripes the binaries and libraries to reduce the filesize if selected
autogenerate a tar file and adb push the file to device if selected
allows you to use well-known software like PHP, MySQL, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, bash and lighttpd on your phone (see the full list in file package_selection.conf, see attachement)
scripting and development on your phone
no limits with BusyBox (without want to be derogative, BusyBox is a wonderful tool), full featured tools like Coreutils, Binutils etc.
build scripts are expandable with other or newer packages you eventual want to have
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q: Do I need native GNU/Linux programs and what is that?
A: If you do not know what native Linux applications are, then stop here - you don't need them.
Q: What can I do with these tools?
A: Many things. As a developer you can use the libraries to include them in Android GUI apps, as user you can start for example a webserver on your phone and write some HTML or PHP pages
just for fun or replace BusyBox with full featured tools (or only some commands).
Some tools are also very useful to find network errors, check the network traffic and many more.
Q: What do I need?
A: A Linux installation (VM or real), some Linux knowledge and a little bit time to read all instructions carefully. A rooted Android device with enouth free memory (ext2/3/4 formatted)
See README for details.
Q: Costs?
A: Nothing. The scripts are Open Source (GPL v3), the packages are GPL licensed or under a similar license. The cross-compilers are Open Source or free to use for non-profit purposes.
But I would be pleased if I get a donation and/or a press on the "Thanks button", if the scripts are useful for you. It was a long and hard work...
Note: The attachement scriptset-x.yy.zip is double packed (inside .bz2), because I want preserve the right settings of the scripts.
STEPS:
Selected the desired packages in the config file
Adjust the compiler settings for your phone
Run the build script to download and compile the software
Copy the generated TAR files to your phone or let "adb" this do for you and unpack them in the prepared sysroot folder
For more information please read the instructions in "README"
Please let me also know if you have any problems or if you have questions or further suggestions.
Thanks go to the Open Source community and a lot of people/webpages with hints about cross-compiling software.
Thanks

Update: Added SANE (USB Scanner backend and drivers) - OTG equipped device needed to work for this - YES, Scanner Access Now possible and Easy with your phone
Update: Split patches for bash (4.1 and 4.2) for better and easier (automatic) inclusion of original patches
02/28/2012 Release of v2.6
Update: Added Cuneiform OCR
Update: Added tesseract-ocr (see hints for more details howto use it)
ScriptStarter
02/03/2012 Added a small ScriptStarter for the GUI. With this app, written with JQuery, PhoneGap and Java (wrapper to execute the shell scripts) it's possible to start for example the lighttpd web server, Pure-FTPd or MySQL from within the Android GUI without a terminal and read the output. If a script needs root access, there is a checkbox to allow this. For this to work, copy the script sush in the script folder. All scripts ending with .sh can be started (please choose after the first start your script folder on the device to add the scripts to the selection, normally your [SYSROOT]/sbin folder).
Three buttons (start, stop and status) are predefined for start-stop-status scripts, there is also a parameter input field for more start values.
Free GPL v3 source code also included (Eclipse project). Please don't expect too much eye-candy. The GUI could be much better, but my CSS skills are very limited...
I added a few example scripts in the zip file, for example a battery stats reader. Before starting these scripts, have a look in the source code to be sure that they are compatible with your device.
Update 0.97 02/03/2012: Now the stderr is also printed in the output window
Update 0.99 02/10/2012: Replaced scrolling api with a much better solution (jScrollPane) for the output window. Not the real Android scroll feeling, but it's usable.

Thanks! I would hit the Thanks button, but I am on my mobile atm.

Someone tried it? Problems?
Please, I need your feedback...

Sounds interesting, I'll try once I get back home and share feedback here

now i try to all packages for test
i will test on cortex a8 (motolora xt720)
TARGET_MARCH="armv7-a" (not work on armv7 )
TARGET_MTUNE="cortex-a8"
TARGET_MFPU="neon"
TARGET_MFLOAT="softfp"
it make dynamic binarys but i don't want dymanic type (because it difficult to divide one thing and maybe not work on android's libs)
how can i make static type?
ps : oh...it has so many comile error (even can't read or count all)

I hope I understand your question. Why not dynamic?
Yes, you have to set the parameters for your mobile phone. For TARGET_MARCH try "armv7", for TARGET_MFLOAT "softfp" and for TARGET_MFPU "vfp" but check this last setting carefully for this phone.
It's very hard to build a full static binary (and sometimes nearly impossible) and it's also hard to build against bionic (with NDK). I had no good experience with it . A lot of compiler runs wasn't sucessful. Edit: I also had for example massive problems with openssl. I couldn't find a way to build it with NDK or static and then build other programs like cURL with openssl support.
Static binaries are also too big and not necessary. For this we have a sysroot environment to be independent from bionic and without the restrictions. The compiled libs and binaries are linked to the CodeSourcery glibc and have set the custom "rpath" for the dynamic loader. That's no problem I think.

that's simple
if someone want to make some binary for all version of android (even same cpu) it will not work well (defend on basic lib(ex : libc) is ok but complex things will not work)
i know make static type binary is very difficult but it valable

You are right, if you want to build a "portable" binary, you have to set very safe settings, like TARGET_MARCH="armv5", the full list is in the "README". But it's not my main target to offer a solution that is easy portable to other phones, instead you can build the software with optimizations for your phone to "get the best" for it

just i want to add some more function on the phone
thanks for patch files

I want to try this, to install some apps(most interested fro mc), but I don' t wanna change my sd card.
Can I use phone' s /data partition as mysysroot directory? I have 1.5GB space available on data partition, it is 2GB all.
And If yes, I must create the dir: /data/mysyroot? And where to create this dir on pc? On root directory of my linux system?

You can use the /data partition. Just create a new folder, for example /data/sysroot. On your PC you have to create the same temporary with full user rights. This is not your working dir for building. Create a new dir in /home/user and unpack the files there. In settings insert the /data/sysroot as TARGET_SYSROOT and change the other settings for your phone and choose mc=yes. Then start the ./build.sh

Thanks for your quick answer.
Just to make clear because my english understanding is not in a high level
I must create the /data/sysroot dir under "/"(root directory) on linux pc with superuser rights?

Yes, that is right. But this is the only step you need to do as root or better with root rights. After this work as usual as user.

oh it can't make mysql

Please notice first, that you should not run this script as root!!
Then there is something wrong with the build of the first needed packages:
ZLIB=yes
OPENSSL=yes
CURL=yes
GETTEXT=yes
LIBXML2=yes
READLINE=yes
NCURSES=yes
- The script cannot find the readline sources. Do you have a subfolder readline-6.2 in folder sources in your builddir? Same for the other source folders. The script first downloads the packages to folder packages, extract the tars in folder sources, repeated for all selections.
(look at line 67 in your log: ./build.sh: 1402: cd: Python-2.7.2: No such file or directory)
- You have no "xz", install it first and make sure, that the other necessary packages are installed. MySQL and gcc are "two pass" compilations and this builds generating temporary binaries, runable on your linux pc. So you need all for a successful compilation of such binaries like gcc, make, python etc. on your linux machine. If you are using Ubuntu, then install the "meta-package" build-essential, look in the README.
Do you have the other unpacking tools like gunzip etc. Please install also "bison"
You should do following steps:
1. First select only the necessary packages (see above), all others to no.
2. If zlib, python, readline an the others are cross-compiled (without errors) and the libraries are in ./sysroot/lib, then deselect them (=no) and select mysql=yes and start a second run with ./build.sh

If you can wait a little bit:
In a short time I release a new version with better error and program checks and some small bug fixes. With this version it's not longer necessary to edit the build.sh, it's now all in only two separated configuration files (configuration and package selection).

hmm...fail to compile mysql again

Hello dateno1,
first: you have *NOT* changed to a user account as promised
The va_list is only a note, not an error, no problem (but ask the MySQL devs why they haven't adapted the code to gcc 4.6.1).
Your Python cross binaries and libraries are not ok (from you broken first build?). Please start from a "fresh state" (delete the folder sources/Python-2.7.2 and sysroot) or start from a total clean state.
Please use the latest 1.5 version of the script because of the xargs warnings at the end
Delete the complete sysroot folder, there are some folders not in place (data and docs). There is a script remove_all_files.sh
Start this script in your buildroot with ./remove_all_files.sh to remove all files and symlinks in subfolder sysroot.
Edit: delete the sysroot folder complete, there are some other missing folders from your first build!
Start again with ./build.sh and activated packages (the "ALWAYS NEEDED" one and MySQL)

[TOOL][SCRIPT] ADB Sync Tool - PowerShell Script

This is the first time I have posted any of my work, so hopefully I have it in a suitable place.
This script is to sync directories from an Android device to a windows machine. This is a one way sync, and will only copy the files which have been changed on the device. Thus making the whole process much quicker.
This script has been tested by myself using a SGS3, however I cannot guarantee this script will work as expected for any other device as I haven't had it tested.
Please report any issues to me, with as much information regarding the problem as possible as this will give me the best chance of fixing the issue. Same goes for any feature requests or improvements. I wrote this for own needs, but felt might be useful for other windows users out there.
ADB must be on the windows PATH. See link -> http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
PowerShell's Execution Policy should be set to RemoteSigned. See link -> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176961.aspx
This script takes a CSV file and should be called in the following manor using a powershell console
Syntax: .\adbsync.ps1 dirs.csv
Where dirs.csv is a csv file with two columns. The first row contains
the headers "source" and "target". Each following row contain the paths.
example csv file (file also included in the zip)...
Code:
source,target
/storage/extSdCard/TitaniumBackup,.\Sync\storage\extSdCard\TitaniumBackup
/storage/extSdCard/clockworkmod,.\Sync\storage\extSdCard\clockworkmod
This will sync the TitaniumBackup directory on the external sdcard
to a folder called Sync keeping the same structure as on the device.
You only need to specify the top level folders as this script will recurse the folder structure.
WARNING: This script will remove files from the target directory without prompt
if the files in that directory don't exist on the source directory.
Nothing will be removed from the source directory.
This script is provided as-is, no warrenty is provided or implied. The author is NOT responsible for any damages or data loss that may occur through the use of this script. Always test, test, test.
This script is free to use for both personal and business use, however, it may not be sold or included as part of a package that is for sale.

[Toolkit][Windows&Linux(Wine)] Already Setup Adb/Fastboot Environment and Installer

[Toolkit][Windows&Linux(Wine)] Already Setup Adb/Fastboot Environment and Installer
First, I take donations.
Second, see the 2nd post about Windows XP compatibilty.(XP requires that the tool be used on a usb drive or a partition that does not contain the current running operating system)
(For the other OSs it works fine on the drive with the running OS) (For Linux see the last post)
Third, XP users that don't have a removable drive available can use the XP-ONLY version on the local drive.
Fourth, read EVERYTHING here on the first and last post.
Fifth, adbClient is a download, unzip, connect to phone package that requires nearly no setup at all allowing you to use the android debugging bridge.
If you want to install adb and fastboot use the "instadb" command.(If you get an access denied error, you must have the administrator password and check your typing)
ANSWERS TO YOUR PROBLEMS:
If you want to update but continue to keep automagically using your work folder: you must copy the Work folder into the folder above the updated bin folder.
Like so: extract the new package. copy the old work folder into the new extracted folder. your work folder should sit right beside the launchadbclient script and the updated bin folder.
This tool can be moved anywhere alongside the work folder
HOW TO USE:
To launch the script extract the zip and run LaunchadbClient by double clicking on it.
Type "xt" without quotes to see a menu for commands.
Check out some package management by typing apk.
To install adb and fastboot to the system without fiddling with environment variables use the instadb command.
DRIVERS:
Visit this link first to enable usb debugging:
To utilize the Google usb driver extract its zip and right click the android_winusb.inf file and hit the install option.
If Google's drivers dont work or you have no drivers or adb doesn't mention any connected devices at the top of the window then you need to visit your manufacturers website for your phone's driver.
Here is the pdanet all purpose adb driver that is pretty much fail proof. if you have any issues with it uninstall it and try another one from below.
If all three of those driver suggestions are not applicable then read the "OTHER DRIVERS" category:
OTHER DRIVERS: The Universal Naked Driver is a good one. Or you can follow this exceptional tutorial for all purpose adb driver installation (I am not responsible for any issues with the tutorial, I just found it.)
I recommend Adb Konnect from the play store if drivers are a problem.
Sometimes your usb cable is keeping you from using adb, so try changing cables.(this actually just happened to me with my samsung usb cable and i ended up using my nexus 7 one instead)
DESCRIBE THE TOOL:
This tool is here to make my life(and your life) with adb easier.
It's the windows command line on steroids.
It is made for being put on a flash drive and being used on different computers.
Especially if you are using someone else's computer but want to keep an environment with your tools and files in it where you could just load it up from a flash drive.
It uses shortcuts for tools including and can autoroot etcetera among other features. This tool is free to use and distribute\modify with my name attached. It contains a presetup adb and fastboot environemnt and has extra binaries\scripts for working with the windows command line and android easier.
Overall it makes interfacing with android over adb much more interesting.
GETTING THE TOOL AND INFO:
1.9.5-XP_ONLY is for the Windows XP desktop only.
Version 3.2.9 is the latest stable release, Use this version please. Thanks for your interest.
If you want to take a snapshot of the latest development go here.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: I now have a donate button if you want to see more development.
I don't support 2.2 or 1.9.5 anymore. Only 3.x.
KNOWN ISSUES: tar might not work.
apklist won't auto exit because of the more pipe. just use control-c for now to unfreeze it
Some of the scripted adb commands stall.
EXTRA INFO:
The only thing that I own in the zip is the scripts. The copyright notice and license for android sdk and included files is included as Notice.txt and Noticeforadb.txt in the LicenseForAdbEtc.zip
With this tool their is no need to install adb or fastboot on your computer just run the script.
If you get an antivirus warning its because of the Zergrush, Psneuter, Framaroot, and ExynosAbuse root exploits.(And the Hstart binary sometimes)
I am not malicious anyway.(You can read my code easily)
You can copy the folder wherever you want. (I made sure it works)
Just don't have anything named bin in the same directory as the launch script.
EXTRA EXTRA INFO:
This tool is meant to be an extension to the command prompt and will pass anything that it doesn't understand over to the command interpreter.
It works in Wine. Extra launching needed. (See last post)
This is a tool for beginners and advanced users however beginners need to learn adb's commands before using this tool.
It will root 2.x and up(Support added for newer android versions). I suggest installing Supersu also.
Tool works on all windows versions: Wndows XP and above.
You are no longer encouraged to use the XP only zips for Windows XP.
For XP: If you use the tool on the local drive it throws errors however if you use it on a usb drive then it works fine
If you need to use it on a local drive then you can use the old win xp only version.
Windows 8 and 8.1 run the tool perfect.
Use the exit command to exit the tool.(It auto kills the adb server)

CHANGELOG:
This changlog is deprecated for the commits page on my github: https://github.com/lgrootnoob/adbClient_EnvironmentandTool/commits/master
Code:
With 1.3.1 adb/fastboot has been updated from platform-tools to rev. 19(Previously rev. 18.0.1)
Split 1.3.1 into xp only and vista up packages
Add a work command that will send you back to the work folder no matter where you are.
See third post.
Removed a couple of the zips in the post to make the download list easier.
Made license a separate download.
Add unroot function.
Implement extracter with a windows tar exe for extracting images from a tgz.
Make adb/fastboot installer for system. (%WINDIR%\system32) (To install the binaries just type instadb and follow the prompts)
(Installing adb and fastboot to the system makes adb or fastboot dependent applications operate without the need to setup complicated environment variables.)
(Before you would have had to make the environment variable point to the folder conanaining the binaries then you would have to check to make sure its setup properly. this will eliminate that issue)
Add the launch script into the package and update instructions. (JUST added launcher to make starting it easier.)
Issues with my implementations of certain processes inside the script.
Fixed updater typo.
Added sfk binary from stahlworks.(VERY useful tool [URL="http://stahlworks.com/products.html"]http://stahlworks.com/products.html[/URL])
Added zip and unzip binary from stahlworks
Added latest usb driver from google.
Add the launch script into the package and update instructions.
add win32 busybox and remove gnuwin32 tar command.
Apk install from file. And apk uninstall and apk installed lister. pm argument sender. apk command for menu
Version change in updater code. but server on mandatory downtime for a week.
Fixed problem with missing dlls in system32 install for adb and fastboot

Made links to busybox with batch files and parameters.
Added md5sum binary.
Make attempt at auto pushd popd implementation. To use this feature just cd to wherever then type back to go back.
New XP local drive version. (Remember that XP can run any version from a removable drive or drive that isnt the partition with the running OS on it.)
FIXED - Output cleanup and implementation of code rendering inner shortcuts unuseful)
add extra bin for user binaries in Work\userbin
added addpath command to append the current folder to the temporary path
Fix another bugfix.
testing version released so the version number on my server will not be updated until I have personally evaluated these builds for a couple of days.
implement pushd popd into my code
add windows tools from knife into adbclient.
made repo command.
added bin2hex binary
added deveject binary
move %clrsnd% %clrval% above the doneloop subroutine so busybox's ls command can properly highlight file names.
only use %clrsnd% %clrval% when needed (pretty much the same as I have done with adb devices and fastboot devices)
added zipalign binary
update updating system to live (ON)
add repo style p2p apt-get system called Gridlock(Thought of the name myself) (not p2p yet :( )
moved extended menu out of code and into a file to help clean up stuff.
add bash link for busybox
fixed up repo script address(dynamic)
added mkfloppy
fixed bug in apk installer code.
removed cmdmenusel and trashed the idea of using it for the preffered java dependency setup.
fixed small bug
changed exit for future dynamic handling of shutdown disk operations.
cat command takes over the beginning of the next echo so it has an echo. in its code.
Deprecated every addpath script and moving to modular addpath userspace script.
Also fixed varname bug in addpath script that made it worthless
Commented my info in.
fixed unrooting issue.
piped apklist to more.
Comment code/subroutines etc. and use whitespace to make it easier to read.(Half done, it needs more work)
everything below is for unreleased 2.3 version.
Strace helper
added goo.im opener
added audio converter freac (Freac has source code available freely on their webpage)
Remove just a couple lines from the inital output to make it fit the command prompt screen.
strace installer (chmod 777 adb push and su -c sh) for work with strace.
add data /T to top of script
added frontend for deveject binary because it is too complicated
make cnt a command that will take params so you can type cnt 192.168.1.81
^if no params are given it will ask for ip address
added send command to strace in testing
merged strace bug fixes into testing
fixed another path bug in testing
code now becoming very modular with me using scripted functions as commands in other scripts.
lgctnp always out to work dir now
fixed 'regression' in hist (Accidental reference to deprecated function broke it) (ALSO: fixed in clr)
project no subroutine/if statements: instead of using if statements on the users input on the main loop I will use batch files in my path that have the name of the user's command.
^This eliminates "" crashing.
add hash check for transmitted file. (Needs md5sum binary for android.) (Make it a question)
add busybox installer
add quick fixes menu for things like accidentally deleted launcher, etc.
fixed issue with busybox android binary got deleted.
added: 'mode con:cols=100 lines=50' for big console
fixed up lgctnp and dmsgnp code

Bump:
Bump, any dev can use this tool to have their rom users debug the roms that they make easily if they like.

I have done enough testing to know that this works in Wine on Linux pretty good now.
However, special launch instructions are needed.
cd to the adbclient bin folder(Currently bin-3.2.6-Slim) and use the command:
Code:
WINEDEBUG=-all wine cmd /c adbclient.bat
- all on one line.
Adbclient should be started and you can connect to your phone wirelessly with cnt *.*.*.* (Insert ip address to the left).
Happy Linuxing.
EDIT: Bash port coming soon to a Linux computer near you.

Latest use of this tool as a library/environment for making a rooting package for phones.

The changelog here will now go unmaintained in deprecation for a github repo: https://github.com/lgrootnoob/adbClient_EnvironmentandTool

3.2.9 released.

bash is necessary for using some build systems to compile android source code. If the OP wishes to donate his time and efforts , I'm sure that an easy installer will be useful to someone. I believe that this tool deserves more response than it has received.

I have no idea why I said that back then. I have been dailying Linux for years now and BASH is what I primarily use, also it's wierd because at that time was when I was migrating to Linux.

[TOOL] [Windows] Batch APK Zipalign Tool v 2.0 (23/05/2022)

What's ziplign ?
Read,Android Developers site.https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/zipalign
zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (APK) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the APK, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
This tool should always be used to align your APK file before distributing it to end-users. The Android build tools can handle this for you. Android Studio automatically aligns your APK.

Why this tool is needed ?
There are a lot of APK modifications on XDA, most of which are done through APKTOOL (Thanks @iBotPeaches for this great tool)
But after apktool compilation, apks needs to be zipalign manually -> which is missing from some these Modded/Distributed Apks found in the forum.
So, I decided to go ahead and make simple tool for this task.
This tool will help end-users/devs in such cases.
How to Use ?
It's One-Click tool, As simple as it gets !
Download & Extract Zip file from attachment.
Put All apks in "Input" folder
Do not leave "SPACES" in file name of APKs For example, Use "AppName_v1.apk" instead of "AppName v171.apk"
Double Click the Batch file (.bat)
You can find zipaliged APKs in "Output" folder after it's done.
That's It !!
PS : (Devs only) Use this tool **AFTER** signing APKs
Users don't need to worry about this because APKs you have/download are already signed.

FAQs
# How to know whether APKs are zipaligned or not after using this tool ?
Check file size of APK Before & After (In Input & Output folders). You will see the differnce in file size on bytes level So, you need to open full property of file via right click.
If file size if exactly the same, means APK was already zipaligned
# How to know whether APKs i have are already zipaligned or not ?
As of now there's no method to my knowledge. So, you need to go through above process.
In general, APKs directly from PlayStore (you backup/apkmirror) are zipaligned so you don't need to zipalign them unless there's some modifications performed on it.

I'm not actively maintaining this tool due to personal commitments. Theoretically it should still work even with older binaries but if you are looking for specific support I suggest search for other/newer threads.

Happy Modding!

i get this error a mod apk
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed collecting certificates for /data/app/vmdl262490375.tmp/base.apk: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl262490375.tmp/base.apk: META-INF/APKEASYT.SF indicates /data/app/vmdl262490375.tmp/base.apk is signed using APK Signature Scheme v2, but no such signature was found. Signature stripped?]

Command file current zipalign.bat:
for %%X in (.\Input\*.apk) do (
echo Zipaligning - %%~nX.apk
.\Tools\zipalign -cv 4 %%X
.\Tools\zipalign -fv 4 %%X .\Output\%%~nX.apk
)
Maybe it should be reversed like this:
for %%X in (.\Input\*.apk) do (
echo Zipaligning - %%~nX.apk
rem To align infile.apk and save it as outfile.apk
.\Tools\zipalign -fv 4 %%X .\Output\%%~nX.apk
rem check alignment outfile.apk only after having zipalign (does not modify file)
.\Tools\zipalign -cv 4 %%X
)
