[GUIDE] Getting some old features back in Virtuous Sense ROMS

GUIDE: Getting some old features back
INTRO: For those who dislike some of the changes/features made to roms as they are developed and are asking how to get them back, here is a how to. It is usually a simple matter of pushing the old files from previous builds into your current rom. Keep in mind that the devs are building a rom as they see fit. As with any rom that you don't build yourself, there will always be things you want to change.
-If there is a bug, post it in the thread.
-If there is a change that you personally want, then do it yourself. Don't expect the dev, and everyone else who uses the rom, to accommodate your specific needs/wants. You may not have noticed, but you aren't the only one using the rom!
NOTE: This guide and code are meant for the virtuous sense rom, but the concept is universal. For example, if you are using some rom and the new version is posted with, say the amazon mp3 apk removed, and you want it back, refrain from cluttering up the dev's thread with a request to have it back. This is both selfish and a waste of posting space. If you are to the point of installing custom roms, you should first be able to type basic adb/terminal emulator commands to copy/delete files. In this case you would extract the amazon mp3 apk from an old .zip and push/install it into your current one. Now wasn't that easier than waiting and hoping that someone will do it for you?
NOW TO THE GUIDE:
Auto brightness mod - To revert from the auto brightness 'mod', which is far too sensitive, to the original, simply pull the services.jar and framework-res.apk from a rom before the patch, and push them to your framework folder. I've attached them to the second post for ease.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\services.jar /system/framework
adb push [directory of saved file]\framework-res.apk /system/framework
Reboot
-------------------
Keyboard mapping - The www/com key has been changed to a tab, which is good, as it was non-functional before. However the user keys have been changed too. I've modified a file which keeps the www/com key as TAB but also keeps the user keys as user assignable keys. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad.kl
adb push [directory of saved file]\vision-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
Reboot
-------------------
Rosie auto-rotate - If you want to keep it so that rosie will only be in portrait mode with the keyboard closed, but dont want to turn off auto-rotate throughout all apps, just push the old rosie. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.launcher.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app
Reboot

Attachments:
You need to rename "services.jar.zip" back to "services.jar" and "vision-keypad.kl.zip" back to "vision-keypad.kl". This is because the forum wont let you upload .kl and .jar extensions as attachments.

Thanks so much for this. I'll definitely be pushing the auto-brightness mod back, and I may do the keyboard, too (might let others do that one first, or see if rmk40/eViL release an update with that first).

Thanks for this!

What version of virtuous are you running? Did you rename it and remove the .zip from the end?
I'm using that exact file w/ no issues

calendar/lockscreen
Is it possible to replace the sense lockscreen/calendar with the vanilla versions? I have tried searching but can't find find any instructions for how to do this

Lockscreen - no.
Calendar - maybe, haven't tried. However I did find these 2 threads by typing in the words "htc calendar" in the search box (which means you didn't search very hard )

Good idea with this thread. It's impossible for us to please everyone and this is absolutely the most constructive way to deal with everyone's personal preferences. There is one key consideration for everyone. If we make other changes to the frameworks which you DO want, pushing files from this thread which have not been updated with said features will eliminate those changes as well. Point is, the concept here is good but it needs to be maintained.
Also, the intention with Virtuous is to provide options. The ROM isn't finalized so ROM Manager isn't populated with all the variants it will eventually have. Case in point, we had to re-base on the new Egypt RUU and are in the process of re-applying all our changes. If we had a variety of options, we would have to redo all of those as well. Once we're in a more "final" state, you'll start to see a lot more choices officially supported with the ROM.
The keyboard mod you have here will probably just become part of Virtuous 0.8.0, by the way. I had not realized our replacement eliminated the quick key customizations (oversight).

Chances are I'm not doing it right, as I'm only about 2% oriented in using ADB, but after following the code, pushing the files, etc, the phone boots up with perpetual errors and crashes. (Phone cannot be launched, etc.)
The process in which I did it was:
Wipe the G2, install v0.7.0, update to 0.7.4, remain in recovery and use adb and followed the code you provided above. (Everything says it works, in terms of mounting, pushing, etc.)
I've also tried it where I reboot after updating, let the phone launch fully, then go back to recovery to push the mod files. Same errors occur.
The only two mods I was interested in were the auto-brightness one and the orientation one.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Well from what you are saying, it sounds like the methods are correct. Did you make sure to remove the ".zip" from the end of the services.jar.zip file?

Can this be modified to restore ".com/www" to G2's?

Yup, and I have "always show extension" enabled in folder options, so I definitely got rid of the .zip.
Maybe I'll fiddle with it a little more, see if I missed something.

All right, here's the error I get after removing the files for the brightness mod, and pushing the ones you attached in:
"The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly."
Basically the launcher is completely inaccessible, the phone remains perpetually in the settings screen because I suppose it's the only thing that it can load without the launcher. It also can't get a signal except for wi-fi, "Mobile Networks" in the settings remains unchecked, and it can't be turned on. Hahaha pretty severe for a rather simple mod.
Here's a full step-by-step of exactly what I did:
Wipe User Data, Wipe Cache
Install virtuous v0.7.0, then v0.7.4 from zip
Remain in Recovery
Open command prompt Change directory to ADB (c:\AndroidSDK\tools)
Entered the following codes one at a time:
- adb shell mount /system (mounts)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar (file removed)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk (file removed)
- adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework (success 0.250s)
- adb push C:\framework-res.apk /system/framework (success 1.80s)
(I just have the files on C temporarily for the ease of it.)
Reboot
Then the errors hit once I unlock the screen.
Heheh, I can't really think of any other way to approach it. Hmmmm.

Any idea what I'd need to put back for video codecs? I'm running CM 6.1 but it doesn't run streaming videos from the NHL Gamecenter unlike the stock rom. I'm assuming its a codec issue and was wondering what I'd want to replace.

Weird, I have no idea why that won't work for you. Anyway, there is another way around it. Just open up your patch.zip (from 0.7.0 to 0.7.4), go to the framework folder, and remove the services.jar and framework-res.apk from it. Then go about the wipe/install of both zips like normal. That way the patch zip will no longer replace those two files. Anything that you don't want changed in a patch zip can just removed from it.

Sorry cant help on that one, I haven't run a CM rom since like 1 or 2.0 haha. You may try to see if others are having that problem, or if it is a known issue with the 6.1 and streaming videos. Is it only that site? Maybe a flash player version problem?

Yea, I assumed it would be out-dated soon anyway, as changes are made to your roms. I'll adjust it to keep up if the need is there though. It was just a couple of the more simple alterations that I made, and after seeing so many people cluttering up your thread with posts about them, I decided to post this.
Mostly, though, I just wanted to remind people that many simple issues/personal needs (like an app being removed from a rom, or a small change to one or two apps) can be solved with a little bit of thought and some adb knowledge - both of which should be present if you are working with a rooted phone in the first place!

Quick and Easy Bootanimation.zip Swap for the G2

****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Nice...definitely makes switching them pretty simple. Thanks!

Works like a charm!!!!
Thanks Much!!!

There are a few apps on the Market that can do this as well, no Terminal knowledge required (or scripts)
Simply search for your bootanimation from the GUI and it should do the job for you...
Boot Animation Changer Lite comes to mind, it's free.
There are a few other ones if you search for bootanimation on the Market.
Hope this helps. Good luck

perfect, worked like a charm, enjoying my honeycomb animation now. thank you.

[MOD] Enable Custom Boot Sounds MT4G/Glacier CM/AOSP

This is the same implementation as the g2 boot sound enabler with a few improvements.
i'm not responsible if you blah blah blah. don't be stupid, and don't flash things to your phone without realizing the possible risk. i haven't bricked a phone yet and don't plan on it.
DOWNLOAD:
View attachment bootsound-glacier-CM-signed.zip
MIRROR - Mediafire
This enables custom boot sounds. After flashing and rebooting you should be greeted with the all to famous "DROID" bootsound.
you will also have some new useful commands in terminal:
newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new bootsound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new boot animation
bootsoundoff - turns boot sound off
bootsoundon - turns boot sound back on
Just files named accordingly on your sdcard's root i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'
Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.
Rom developers - feel free to include this in your builds if you so desire, please make sure credit is given accordingly to spiicytuna, mrdaviso, and myself.
if you're running a sense rom there's a totally different way of doing it so, should you be running sense... don't flash. or flash at your own risk, i can't guarantee the outcome.
untested... let me know if things go smoothly, the same process works for the evo g2 etc.. so shouldnt be an issue. make sure your media volume is up, some report if it's muted you wont hear it. (not sure about this, i guess it would be easy to test...)

Thanks this worked GREAT.

thanks worked great on cm7 rc2! so basically i can rename any sound file i want then overwrite the original? or does it have to be done through terminal? sorry for the ?? i am just learning
thanks again!

Terminal isn't required, but the sound you need to replace resides in /system/media so a file explorer with root access would be necessary.

not working?
i have tried this through root explorer and terminal. the outcome is correct in terminal... says that the new boot sound is there. I also was sure to check the volume. and still nothing? please help?

ya doesnt work on cm7 rc4 either

worked great for me ... except that the boot sound plays regardless of whether I have the volume down / muted / etc. before I reboot.
i'm on royalginger v1.5 which is based on cm7 nightly #31

why didn't you just IM me? el oh el
cos in my researching on the boards and also the other test builds I made - #31 was the most stable overall.

Ya can't seem to get it to work. The script seem to work fine but i think im applying the Audio file wrong can someone post an example? System/media. Running cm rc4

guys here is a manual method of unlocking boot audio...I got this from an older thread that was deleted for some odd reason..
anyway I did not make this script and I do not intend to take credit, but here is a manual way if all else fails.
1. download and rename the bootsnd.txt to bootsnd.sh and NOT bootsnd.sh.sh
2. place the file in the root of your sd card
3. use root explorer to set /system to r/w
4. open terminal type: su and hit enter to gain root priv,
5. type "cd /sdcard" with out the quotes to mount the sdcard root
6. type "sh bootsnd.sh" with out quotes and hit enter wait about 10 seconds then close terminal NOTE* YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY OUTPUT or confirmation! hit enter ONLY once unless you want to eat BOOTLOOPS for breakfast
7. with root explorer push android_audio.mp3 to /system/media
8. reboot and BOOM!
this does NOT work on sense roms, only works with AOSP (any cm builds) as far as I have tested.
I have included my own boot audio its a god of war 3 overture theme portion
now that is my work as I had to chop it up
unzip and rename it to android_audio.mp3 first before pushing it

[mod] script - disable key backlight

Here is a very simple script that turns off the key lights..
I find them very annoying at night, and an unnecessary waste of battery.
Extract the file from the zip, place in init.d and set permissions.
Might be useful for the Rom devs as an option in aroma installers?
If this isn't the place then please delete this thread someone of mod variety.

manually executing helps. But after a reboot they are back on..until I execute the script again..

been looking for something like this for weeks but unfortunately it doesn't work for me, used root explorer set permissions as you wrote and disabled fastboot

Nice to see I'm not alone with that problem.
It's doing quite well if I manually execute it from Root explorer, but after a reboot it's not execute automatic by the script..
fastboot off and al lot of full reboots were done.. I really don't know what the problem is..
Solution: I'll never reboot by phone anymore

Which ROM are you using? I have noticed that not all ROMs support all init.d scripts for some reason due to ramdisk issues. I haven't bothered investigating exactly why.
EDIT: @OP FYI The backlights off script that you have posted is identical to the backlights back on script. I am assuming that the back on script should read:
Code:
echo KB - set Key Backlight [B][COLOR="DarkRed"]1[/COLOR][/B]
echo "[B][COLOR="DarkRed"]1[/COLOR][/B]" > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

I'm using Touch X-treme ( Sig )
Also tried it on villain rom with a friends HOX, same behavior.

I saw the sig but most people don't update them.
You can test to see if you have an underlying problem with (some) init.d scripts running correctly by unzipping this script and placing it in your system/etc/init.d folder and setting the permissions to match the others that you have in there.
Then do a full reboot and view the contents of the file:
/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
It should read '4096'. If it doesn't, you have a problem with (some) init.d scripts.
All the script does is to increase the size of the SD card readahead cache to 4096 rather than whatever is is set to run at.
Once you have tested, simply delete the init.d script and reboot again to restore your original value.

Thanks.
Will test it later the day...

@ nobnut
Sorry had wrong link up for auto.

No apology necessary. I was just letting you know before people started getting confused
EDIT: The scripts work really well. Thank you.
I don't use them as init.d scripts. I execute them from shortcuts using Tasker, that way I can have manual control over the button lights from the homescreen
Bloomin' marvellous
Thanks again.

@nobnut Cool, btw the first few lines of the auto script don't do anything, the last line just sets it back to rw instead of ro, so the phone can have control back.

[Q] init.d script to start a service

Hey,
im not sure if anyone is familiar with KeepScreen but its an amazing app which has a wake lock preventing the screen from timing out. So for instance, if youre reading xda and your screen shuts off, use this app to set it to never shut off when xda is the foreground app. It seriously works amazingly and i love it. But ever since ICS it doesnt start on boot.
I have found the command am to start an app from the command line but i can not for the life of me figure out how to use it inside an init.d script to start keep screen's service.
Any help?

Not sure if this is ROM specific, but I use the feature where the screen won't timeout if I'm looking at the screen. Can be finicky in lite light but other than that our had been great for me.

Yeah I've used that but like you said it's not always perfect. KeepScreen has been flawless except the starting at boot issue

@ OP....
if your app is using init.d scripts to execute commands... and they aren't starting up after boot...
I think I understand you correctly here...
Then navigate to /system/etc/ and find the file init.qcom.post_boot.sh and open it in edit mode with a file explorer (root explorer is my preference but whatever gets it done) and add this line to the very end of the file as text
/system/etc/init.d*
That will execute init.d scripts AFTER boot, and might solve your problem.
Init.d executes early in the boot phase (pretty much when you see your boot animations and such) and simply put, that could be your issue.
Give it a shot, and if it doesn't work then there is likely and issue caused by what you described in your post.... (not every app works flawlessly with any version of android)

Thanks! But this isnt my app. Its an app in the playstore. I linked it in the first post. The app works on Gingerbread perfectly, but not on ICS or JB. It fails to start the service once the BOOT_COMPLETE broadcast is sent. So i was hoping to use an init.d script to manually start the service. However, when i open terminal emulator and type
Code:
am KeepScreen
nothing happens. So i guess my question is more directed to how to properly use the
Code:
am
command from terminal.

Your command line is incomplete
elesBB,
I ran into this old thread, but this might be helpful to others having the same problem as elesBB did. The command line is incomplete. Try:
