Android related questions
Q: What is a smartphone?
A: ... just kidding, you are way past that!
Q: What is an android ROM?
A: Android Read-Only Memory. A file containing the Android operating system and its apps. The "stock ROM" comes preinstalled on the phone.
Q: What is a custom ROM?
A: A custom ROM replaces your device's preinstalled Android operating system (or Stock ROM), normally stored in read-only memory, with a new version of the Android operating system.
Q: What is a kernel in android?
A: A kernel is the component that helps the applications communicate with the hardware. It manages the system resources, communicates with external devices when needed, and so on. Android uses a variation of the Linux kernel. The kernel is the bridge between the ROM and hardware.
Q: Rooting-What is it?
A: Rooting is the process of allowing users to attain privileged control (root access) over various Android subsystems. As Android uses the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access to administrative (superuser) permissions as on Linux. Rooting gives the ability (or permission) to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized applications that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user.
Q: What is a recovery in android?
A: In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. It is accessible with a combination of key presses, or instructions from a command line.
Q: What is Stock Recovery?
A: The Recovery that comes with your Android Device from the manufacturer is called Stock Recovery. Stock recovery can be used to flash updates from an update.zip file, OTA Updates, for factory reset etc.
Q: What is a Custom Recovery?
A: From stock recovery, we cannot flash Custom ROMs, Modules etc. For this, you need to flash custom recoveries like TWRP. Flashing a custom recovery overwrites the system recovery. Custom Recoveries have been coded to allow for backup and restore functions, selective deletion of data so you don't have to wipe everything, and modified to allow update packages that have not been digitally signed by official sources.
Q: What does TWRP stand for?
A: Team Win Recovery Project.
Q: What does OTA stand for?
A: Over The Air Update. An OTA Update is a software update that is distributed via Wi-Fi or broadband network, making use of functions built into the operating system itself.

Substratum creates a folder in your internal sd card with a flashable file that you can rescue your system.
Boot your phone into twrp if you have one and flash that file.
If you don't have a recovery installed, than just boot into a recovery and again flash that file.

That doesn't look like a smart cover. So you can't use it to turn screen on/off by opening and closing the cover.

DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS/RECOVERIES/KERNELS. THIS IS ONLY TO INSTALL TWEAKS THAT COME IN THE FORMAT OF A FLASHABLE .ZIP! READ THIS AND THE DEVELOPER'S THREAD BEFORE YOU PROCEED WITH THIS! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS!
I thought all S4 active users should be aware of this -- you CAN flash CWM/TWRP .zip files WITHOUT a custom recovery. Albeit the app is a proof-of-concept/beta. It still does work and people with locked-down xperia phones use it to flash .zips
If you're on a regular S4 you'd be better off using CWM or TWRP so stop reading this.
You also cannot flash custom ROMs with this. Certain system files are critical to maintaining stability and if they are overwritten while the device is powered on it'll crash and you'll have a bricked franken-ROM phone. Don't try to flash kernels or recoveries with this either. You're just asking for trouble.
By clicking "Show" below you agree that I'm not responsible for your phone exploding or bricking when you do this. You could easily end up in a boot-loop and have to restore with odin. As a matter of fact, even if you do everything correctly you could still end up with a bricked phone. It won't be my fault. There is no way to do nandroids as of now so you will have to restore to out-of-box state with odin and start from square one.
From your phone:
1) Visit the developer's thread here
2) Read his thread and make sure you understand any warnings/consequences of using his tool.
3) Scroll to the bottom of the page, download and install the APK

}
4) Download your favorite flashable mod .zips. There's some links at the bottom of the OP.
5) Click "Select zip.." and then use your favorite file explorer to navigate to the location of your .zipped mod/tweak/whatever
6) Flash Gordon will request superuser, choose "accept"
7) Double check that you selected the correct .zip and have the correct options
8) Click "Flash Now!". Don't worry if your phone hangs, give it a few minutes to do its thing. Mine lagged very bad as I flashed acid audio mod. Do not hit the home button or do anything to cause the app to exit.
9) Once flash gordon is done a notification will appear telling you to reboot - Click that notification and your device will reboot. If the app hangs at "Installing" give it a good 10 minutes and if it's still "Installing" just manual reboot. If your mod requires you to wipe the cache partition I reccomend booting to the stock 3e recovery by holding vol up + power + home and wiping it that way so you don't experience FC's from clearing cache while device is running.
10) Once device is powered on it should take you through that "Android upgrading" message and then you can enjoy your mod!
11) Optional: Throw money at/thank "Androguide.fr" for his awesome app.
Confirmed working:
Acid Audio Mod - Use the one here - V7 will bootloop you or cause a glitch where your device is "Upgrading applications" every boot
Going to try more later -- post a picture of your favorite mod/tweak running and I'll add it to this OP!
Thank you for posting this. I am sure it will help many Active users, but I wonder how long it will be before people ignore your warnings and try to flash a kernel or ROM or custom recovery with this?
Please people READ and READ some more so you don't mess up your phones. I don't know if it will do any good but maybe putting that part at the top in Red letters might help.
Again. thanks.

Make sure you use the 'Pre-MEA_AOSP_MMS_CPA-Poke-v2.zip'. Reboot phone and go to system/app with root explorer and rename KeyguardWidget.apk to KeyguardWidget.apk.bak. Done.
Everything, including both sms/mms works perfectly. You can even theme the conversation list and messages with custom background and different test color. I included screenshot to show you what I meant. =)

Please note that the Automatic Script erases Cache for safety. If you get into recovery straight away after flashing Cache partition won't mount until you Wipe it. This will not happen if you reboot directly into Android as it will get regenerated on start up.

What's new in 2.8.1.0:
MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
Various other bugfixes and tweaks
What's new in 2.8.0.2:
Fix a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues
Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
Other minor fixes and improvements
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.

If you find yourself in TWRP with no working touch, you can use adb reboot bootloader to reboot again and flash another recovery.
Android 4.1 or 4.2?
Thanks a lot for sharing this mate, I was just wondering if you are running a 4.1 or 4.2 software?

No problem. Thanks for voting.
There seems to be some people with no touch working...I wonder why? Maybe there different boards in the same 802w model?

Flash it and see. If it doesn't work you can always flash another recovery using flashboot commands.
Please report back your findings.
BRICKED HTC ONE 802w WEIBO
Hy guys,
I pretty glad that you could make it up. :cyclops:
It looks great but unfortunately didn't work for me. :crying:
Well I'm newbie so not so expert in doing all those operations.
On top, I am... French (...nobody's perfect!) and try through the language to catch your posts.
Not so easy.
Actually I have HTC One 802w (M7CDUG PVT) Weibo from China Unicom,
After many attempts I download Moonshine for S-OFF but now now I am stuck on the WEIBO logo of 1st page...
No rooting possible. called.. .er... Bricked? oui?
Damn! it was working more or less (except the Chinese apps I can't read + competition in between Google Play and HTC Market).
But at least, working great.
Situation is like having the latest Bugatti Veyron and can't shift the 3rd speed... Frustrating!
The mobile is not any more recognized when plugged to computer, Only Distiller can detect it... to end with error!
But if someone can post me a lead (at least) it would make my day or my Xmas...!!!
Meantime someone can post something, I sincerely wish you all a very Happy Time to all XDA members, Developpers, Contributors, etc.
Looking forward to reading you.

Major update!
Thanks to the TWRP support I was able to port the latest version of TWRP to the Dual Sim. So from now on I will try to keep this thread updated with the latest version when its available (and when I have time).
Please check the OP for download link.
Has anybody tested the 2.6.3.3 version?
OP Updated with TWRP 2.6.3.4

I can tell you that somebody tried to install KitKat using TWRP 2.6.3.4 with no success. I don't know if that means that it cannot work with it.
From what I can gather from your posts, you seem very knowledgeable, so you can just go ahead and try and if it doesn't work just flash another recovery.

After installing TWRP 2.6.3.4 phone off charge, the phone will crash!
READ THIS FIRST:After downloading "oxygenos_1.0.0.zip" you will notice that it contains a folder with two files:
oxygenos_1.0.0_flashable.md5
oxygenos_1.0.0_flashable.zip
Extract oxygenos_1.0.0_flashable.zip first, then copy it to the SD card, wipe, flash, etc.

Installation steps:
Please make sure all your data and files are backed up before commencing. Flashing OxygenOS onto CM does require a system wipe, so you will lose all of your data. We are actively working on an easier, more automated solution soon to be available, but for now the build must be flashed manually.
Please proceed only if you are confident in your abilities to flash a custom ROM. This guide exists to help you flash OxygenOS, but things can still go wrong if not followed correctly. While rooting and flashing will not void your OnePlus warranty, any damage caused by improper flashing is not covered under warranty.
The following instructions assume you have Fastboot and ADB installed.
Step 1
You first need to flash a recovery onto your device. We recommend using TWRP. Please download the recovery image to your computer. You can follow their instructions to flash recovery, or you can reference these steps:
Boot into fastboot mode. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down the power button and the volume up button. When you see the fastboot logo, connect your device to your computer.
In your terminal window, find the folder where you put the recovery image and run the following commands:
fastboot oem unlock (You can skip this step if your phone’s bootloader is already unlocked).
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>. Image file should be the TWRP recovery image.
fastboot reboot
You should now have the recovery installed.
Step 2
Copy oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip to your phone. On a Mac, you can use Android File Transfer.
Step 3
Boot into recovery. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down both the volume down key and the power button.
Step 4
Once you are in the recovery interface, the first thing you want to do is a factory reset. Again, you will lose all your data so please make sure you have backed up everything before doing this.
Step 5
After the wipe, go to install and find oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip. Confirm flash. This will flash OxygenOS onto your device.
Step 6
After the flash succeeds, you can reboot the device, which will take you to the new OxygenOS. Enjoy!
If you find yourself wanting to rollback to CM, Make sure you have TWRP or CM recovery on the device. Another factory reset will be needed before flashing unfortunately so make sure you backup all of you data.

The First Pre-Rooted Firmwares for
Samsung SM-J110H Galaxy J1 Ace Duos
Samsung SM-J110H Pre-Rooted Firmwares:
- J110HXXU0AOGA v4.4.4 KitKat: Download (AFH Link) Tested
- J110HXXU0APB2 / J110HODD0APB1 India v4.4.4 KitKat: Download (AFH Link).
- J110HXXU0APB2 / J110HOJV0APB2 Arabic v4.4.4 KitKat: Download (AFH Link).
Hi!
I test this firmware in my SM-J110L and works perfect.
As a detail, i wish to comment some considerations.
1 - Firmware can be flashed without clearing davlik cache or anything. At least, in my experience, works fine without doing that. As far as i see around, clearing cache is needed only when you get stuck in boot animation.
2 - Due to the software included in my phone, SU binarie works in first boot, but cannot be updated (rom ask for it but, doing it, SU binary is deleted and root access is lost)
To solve it, is needed to remove samsung KMS and EMS software from the phone. This software is there to "protect" the phone, and is the responsible of deleting SU binary. It's harmless to remove it.
To do this, in first boot (when SU works and you can gain root access) install ES Filexplorer (i use it, but for sure other apps can do it), activate root functions, and delete KMS and EMS software from system (ES allow to do this via User Apps section, remove system app).
This particular model is "low profile". So, RAM memory is the first thing is reduced. This can be solved using Apps2SD, RAMEXPANDER (to activate Zram functions) and Swapper2 to activate Swap space on microSD card (need to be partitioned first)
Actually, i was not able to find a custom bootloader for this phone (SM-J110L is not equal to J110H, at least in bootloader protection). and even i cant find any custom rom for it.
Hope this info helps to the owners of this great phone. Considering cost/prestation is a great choice. And there's a lack of info about it.
Best regards,
Alejandro

Thanks a lot for your work!

Ok bro, But please can you give the complete name of these two APKs to remove?
com-skms-android-agent.apk contains all the problematic stuff.
All new Samsung phones comes with this APK preinstalled. Looks like, for security reasons, it kills SU binary. (KMS agent works with NFC service, so, removing it, leaves NFC services unavailable. No problem if you don't want to use your phone as a credit card. This explains the security issue with SU binary. Can be reinstalled later if anyone need it (losing root, of course))
Good day friends, a question, I want to install this rom but not if it is done with Odin or what is the method to install it?

As far i know, not yet. Even CWM. Someone is working in TWRP for j110h, but i test it in my 110l and its not working. Looks like bootloader is protected in a different way. Here is the work. But, as i say, it's for the 110 lte, and looks like is different to the 110j.
You can try helping them (maybe with some testing) to reach a TWRP version that works in our phones.

I seen a lot of Discussion On this topic, and found a really simple way to disable Forced Encryption and it also removes the warning at boot. This in NO WAY is my work at all. I am sharing this [FIX] FED-Patcher v7 (ForceEncrypt Disable Patcher) which was posted by @gladiac. Absolutely make sure you head over to his forum and hit the Thanks button. This works great
Screenshots Below
I have the option to encrypt the phone as you can see circled. I went into system with Root Explorer and was prompted for R/W access and obviously I granted it. Everything is working great!

[*] Type yes in the box to perform the format
[*] Perform this 3x for a good full wipe
4. Reboot TWRP (Do Not Install Super Su Yet)
5. Once Back In Recovery, On the computer, open My computer
6. Navigate to and open the Nexus 6 Drive
7. Drag the Zip files below to your Phone -

Supported Devices
Motorola Nexus 6 (shamu)
Version History
v1 - Initial version with HTC Nexus 9 WiFi (flounder) support
[*]v2 - Added Motorola Nexus 6 (shamu) support
[*]v3 - Added support for HTC Nexus 9 LTE (flounder_lte)
[*]v4 - Added support for signed boot-images
[*]v5 - Changed error handling to compensate for missing fstab files. Some roms seem not to ship with the complete set of boot-files from AOSP.
[*]v6 - FED-Patcher will enforce the same structure for the patched boot.img that the original boot.img had. Additionally, the kernel commandline will also be taken over. This should fix pretty much every case where devices would not boot after patching.
[*]v7 - FED-Patcher will now disable dm-verity in fstab to get rid of the red error sign on marshmallow roms.
What Do I need To Make This Work?
A supported device (Your nexus 6)
[*]An unlocked bootloader
[*]An already installed ROM with forceencrypt flag. (like cyanogenmod CM12.1)
[*]A recovery that includes busybox (TWRP, CWM)
How Do I Use it?
Follow Instructions above - This is the basic need to know information
[*]Make a thorough, conservative backup of your data if there is any on your device
[*]Go into your recovery (TWRP, CWM)
[*]Flash fed_patcher-signed.zip
[*]If your device is already encrypted (You booted your ROM at least once) you need to do a full wipe to get rid of the encryption. This full wipe will clear all your data on your data-partition (where your apps as well as their settings are stored) as well as on your internal storage so please, do a backup before. If you don't do a backup and want to restore your data... well... Call obama.
IMPORTANT: If you update your ROM you have to run FED-Patcher again because ROM-updates also update the boot-partition which effectively removes my patch. So, if you are on CM12.1 for example and you used my patch and do an update to a newer nightly you have to run FED-Patcher again. If you don't do so Android will encrypt your device at the first boot.
Is It Dangerous?
Well, I implemented tons of checks that prevent pretty much anything bad from happening. But, of course, we're dealing with the boot-partition here. Even though I tested FED-Patcher quite a lot there is still room for crap hitting the fan.
All Thanks To:
@gladiac - For Putting the OP together for the Nexus 9 and sharing this
[*]@rovo89 - for his xposed framework - I used some of his ideas by reading the source of his xposed installer flashable ZIP for FED-Patcher.
[*]@pbatard - for making (un)mkbootimg (dunno if he is on xda)

Moved this from the development forum as there is no development, this is not your work, and it is a guide for this; this is better suited to a General forum.
Thread reopened on the basis that this is a guided collection of work.
Ok, this OP is more of a guide on how to use this tool, I am going to edit the OP and redirect it to the Forum that was in the Nexus 6...There was a mis-understanding on my part, I did not realize this was in the Nexus 6 Android Development already, this is just how to run it, and the steps to successfully flash and get rid of the warning before booting Android 6.0 and having a force decrypted set up form boot...

As per Light Rom description it says Forced encryption is disabled. So If I install Light ROM, them there is no encryption right? or am I missing something?

There is no encryption, this is just an extra layer, if you flash kernels to make sure it doesn't force encryp, but you should be fine and not have to do this. This gets rid of the warning message at boot

Just now installed light rom, installed custom ROM, and format data. so no more encryption on my phone, but I have the warning message at boot.
so following this method, I wont be having warning message, is that right?

I do not have the warning at boot doing this method. So yes, you should no longer have the warning

If i follow the steps correctly and change my kernel will the corrupt boot screen return?
my plan is to use Xtrasmooth rom with Elite kernel.

I am not 100% sure if it will or not, with the kernel there is a chance it will, but I think you will be ok.. The splash screen is really more of an annoyance than anything else, but I think it will be ok.
At any rate, all you would have to do is flash just the fed_patcher_v7-signed.zip again
