The thread to help us replace HTC Dialer+HTC Contacts with AOSP and syncing contacts

I know the title may be confusing.
BUT, on literally even ROM i use i remove anything HTC, the only things I must leave in are HTCContacts.apk and HTCDialer.apk. Sometimes the HTCCamera but only if AOSP cam not included. Anyways, the reason those two must be left in is because your contacts will NOT sync if they arent there. Even if they are there and are frozen through Titanium Backup the sync works. However remove them and it dies. I have tried several different Contacts+Phone apks +renamed nothing... If it is a Sense-based ROM those have to stay in there.
Can someone help on the issue please. I know I am not the only one affected by this... All the Senseless ROM chefs know about it, I'm sure (minus true AOSP as CM6+)
sidenote... another htc thing that can be removed which i hate is in /system/framework. called com.htc.rss.jar. no one likes rss anyways

Brace on getting flamed by all the people that think they are mods.
Have you tried replacing contactsprovider.apk with an AOSP one? The rom in my sig doesn't have htccontacts.apk. im still working on phone though I mislabeled the original post.

yes i have tried it before thanks tho
yea contacts not really necessary phone alone will just work.. sorry was a little groggy this morning

bump for bumping

thread moved to themes and apps. as this thread is about apps. most likely a better chance ull get better input

Ok so here's the deal. With Sense, HTC modifies the Android source to a high degree. Because of this its hard to replace or remove certain files. The contacts provider or social networking service for example. So we need to figure a way to replace those files properly or remove the need for apps like the dialer. I think the key lies in the Android source.

[FIX] Google Goggles Fix / Deleting files permanently POC

As promised, I have posted a fully working proof of concept of removing items from /system on NAND / EMMC locked devices with only temproot / root.

question @ Paul so in theory can all unwanted apps be removed in a similar manner ? if so what steps would be necessary ? Thanks in advance and BTW thanks for contributing as always

That's fantastic! I can't wait to remove the bloatware from my g2! Any way to make a universal app that allows you to select the program to be removed? I'm not sure what sort of code that was involved with making your app work, but it seems like you could make a script based on the app that a user selects (like amazon mp3 or google earth).

Paul, you are fantastic. I'm more than happy to donate what I can for all your work. And I think its great you are using those donations to support childhood leukemia. A great cause.

And should I manage to full root, that's where the 'bounty' would go too.

How will this affect the OTA should they decide to include a fix for the goggles problem. Could there be a problem patching files that aren't there?

I tip the burger I am eating in your favor! Awesome work!! I already used it, and updated goggles.

This is terribly brilliant. I read the explanation of the mechanism on the other forum - fooling the G2 into deleting files permanently from /system.
So the question is, are there any specific files in /system that, if deleted, could open up a further vulnerability to full root? This just got a lot more interesting

Any change of getting an app to remove all the bloatware in one shot?

No, when the phone is turned on, at some point the filesystem is turned to read only. As i understand it, they dont know what flips the switch at this point. esentially, we do actually know how to root the device, we just dont know how to accept writes to the system. paul has simply figured out how to trick the system into deleting files before the system turns into write protected. we still cant add anything to it, though.

Porting Roms from *** To the Evo

I assume this is the correct forum otherwise please move this.
What is the best article(s) to read if you want to start learning how to port roms from other android phones to the Evo? I've been searching on here and on google and it seems most articles are either outdated or only talk about editing existing cooked roms so I finally broke down and posted this. Yes I do use Linux and I do program in Java and .NET and do have a bachelors in software development but I have just never looked into doing this type of work until now.
Thank you, any direction I'm pointed in is appreciated.

I'll direct to you the Q&A forum.

Side Note:This goes in General,but im nice so ill answer you question.
There is no real BOOK to read, a java book is a good start, but you say you know java, so you can probably skip that.
Basically, this is all you have to do.
Download "Dsixda's Kitchen" to your linux distro(amazing software)
Grab a rom from another device.
Grab one of our(evo)stock roms(deodexed Stock 3.70 is good for froyo port,4.12 for gingerbread)
Open the kitchen, and find the option(#19 i think it is), and follow the steps to port it(hold on, your not done yet)
From there you will need do some manual work by tinkering with libs,tinkering with the boot.img, bascally just tinkering with everything related to booting(libs,ramdisk,hw-libs,etc.) untill you can get it to boot or bootloop.
If it boots, thats great, if it bootloops, youlle need to logcat it then debug it.
If you need help with something, pm me, other than that, thats basically(*note: i said basic, more complexed roms like sense 3.0 and non-htc device rom may require extra work)(*note2:alot of times, its going to be a no-booter, but just keep trying.)

Don't forget some of the most important stuff is in the build.prop and update-script.
Word of advice, look at a sense 2.1 and check out the base that was used. You can also use beyond compare and basically skip Linux all together. Using kitchen to deodex the ruu is a good first step. Choose option 11 in the menu.
Personally, I would start off with a working port and changing apps and moving stuff around. Also get a good list at which libs are associated with what. But use stock bins, etc, xbin, hw libs, and ported apks, framework, and software associated libs. Stock boot.img and a good updater-script. Also know key
Things like the EVO density is 160, vold_stab is usb, amkd is rotation, gsl hw accel stuff like that.
But first things first, Google is ur friend and use the q&a section.

ah yes, forgot about build.prop,and i think the kitchen takes care of updater script(unless the device has specific mount pointsor you want text or to clear cache and system). i was just getting the basics to boot, from ther he can debug the errors out of the log.

What about something A LOT simpler like adding the CRT animations to a ROM? any pointers? Any TUT you can point me to?

Check out the APKTool, APKManager threads. Lots of great valuable information in there.
I sometimes wish XDA focused more on the "HOW TO" and less on the delivery aspect. The more folks developing, the further we will be along
Another great way to get started is to mentor with another established developer.

Well said. People love to flame anyways and XDA is famous among other Android forums for being so harsh. This thread helped me out big time, and it's especially nice to see Leoisright and myn in here giving up a few pointers, because I too was curious about porting. I never worked up the confidence to ask, just too worried about it being passed over or getting flamed because I'm young and curious.

[ROM] Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free]

This ROM is one I have been running for some time now, I threw it together because I was not in need of the T-Moble junk, nor was I wanting to run a ROM that has Carrier IQ (CIQ)
Telus does not include any junk other then the default background so its a pretty clean build.
Rom Features:
- Updated all apps that were out of date except the market (I hate the new market lol)
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
- All apk's are MX0 compression to use less ram
and open faster
- Services.jar has been modified to include CRT off
and i have removed signature checking, so theemers and users
using widgets and stuff from other devices don't get a sig-missmatch on boot
and boot loop.
- Recompiled Stock Kernel to remove CIQ bits
- BLN support patched into services.jar (Note: you need to flash a bln supported kernel)
- Will work on T-Mobile or Telus Devices
- Carrier IQ (CIQ) is not existent in this rom so it wont be using your battery
spying on you, and using your data to transmit said data its collecting.

Call Recording APP by skvalex ( If you use my custom kernel )
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44644505/CallRecorder_v.1.0.27_alpha_build05.apk
The app is offered on XDA for free but you can promote his work by Buying it in the MARKET
I am open for suggestions on this ROM but understand it was uploaded to be a stock rooted ROM for those who wanted it. I am also sharing this in hopes that other chefs may use it as a base so CIQ does not run ramped in the custom Roms here (I have not seen the removal on CIQ in any change logs)

Wait wait wait..i just googled CIQ
Are you saying the T-Mo rom is tracking us such as Juggernaut/beastmod, and the Telus based ones arent? Wouldnt ROM developers have removed that?
Also, since this is Deodexed, can i apply the Lightning theme?

See here: http://androidsecuritytest.com/features/logs-and-services/loggers/carrieriq/
According to my research 99% of US devices deploy Carrier IQ to some extent to collect data form your device, this can include but not limited too, keystrokes, device usage and app usage and what not, its pretty nasty stuff, and untill recently from the research from a XDA member by the name of TrevE, no one knew just how much data they were collecting and or are capable of collecting, IMO its a HUGE privacy concern, a security risk and it uses your battery and data to transmit usage stats over your 3/4G and wifi to a server on a regular basis.
The stock tmobile rom has carrier IQ in it have looked, as for the custom roms i do not know for sure but according to change logs i don't see they have removed it, the best way it so ask the chef.
Teluss roms, canadian devices to be specific do not have Carrier IQ (CIQ) in them as this technique of datamining/spying on the users is not deployed at all in canada.
Last time i checked to custom roms i have downloaded they still have the carrier iq stuff in them, its riddled in every apk and system libs, framework and the kernel. its very intrusive and a lot of work has to be done to remove it, but it cannot be removed fully, just crippled to a non working state 9not transmitting data at least).
And to answer your second question, yes you can apply a theme to this. its deodexed.

With my experience with the HTC kernels they imbedded CIQ stuff in them, it was a config option to turn it on and off.
They also hide stuff in the ram disk, since i have not used the tmobile source i cannot verify this first hand, only from previous experience.

each kernel has there own ramdisk.
Any kernel based off the telus source, AND the telus ramdisk (initramfs) will be guaranteed CIQ free, i know my custom kernel is based off these and i *think* team kangs are as well, but i'd ask if you are concerned, they know there stuff and will be more then able to answer.
just found this as a reference
Chad Goodman <http://forum.androidcustomcreations.com/> said in reply to Andy @ Carrier IQ <http://www.carrieriq.com>... So....
as a kernel developer i learned a lot about CIQ recently... CIQ has ROOT access to a TTY session
CIQ has ROOT promiscuous mode access to the WIFI adapter
CIQ has ROOT access to ALL the file systems on the device
CIQ has access to realtime clock, alarm data, and the ability to remotely wake up my phone AFTER i turned it off.
...all of this at the kernel level
.......... and thats just a short list - i removed over 400 lines of code related to CIQ so far in the kernel I run on my phone ROOT access to a TTY session and to the file system can allow CIQ to access logcat logs, and these logs contain phone numbers, email addresses in clear text.. I would like Andy @ CIQ to respond to this please...

Kernel devs will want to check if CIQ_SUPPORT=y is enabled in the make config and if so, set to #CIQ_SUPPORT is not set and CONFIG_BUILD_CIQ=y to #CONFIG_BUILD_CIQ is not set

[REQUEST] testers for app

Well as the title say I need some testers. I'm developing an app which one for now works with, Galaxy Nexus Maguro, but I need some Toro and Toroplus testers. (Since my nexus is maguro and I can't try it) also if any of you have a SGS3 I will appreciate if you test it as well since it suppose to work with the SGS3.
What you need
Samsung Galaxy Nexus rooted and/or Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted.
What you need to do
Simple, just start the app (App Test) you will see a text that says: ----Notifications---- and under that text other text that says TEST Notification.
1. You need to see a toggle button at the right of the second text.
2. When you turn on the toggle you have to see a notification that says: Notification ONLINE
3. When you turn off the toggle the notification should be clear.
What if I don't see something about the 3 points above?
Post what you see, and tell me what the Toast message says. I will see and try to fix it.
PLEASE POST IF IT WORKS AND IF IT DOESN'T​
App is attached.

Well as the title say I need some testers. I'm developing an app which one for now works with, Galaxy Nexus Maguro, but I need some Toro and Toroplus testers. (Since my nexus is maguro and I can't try it) also if any of you have a SGS3 I will appreciate if you test it as well since it suppose to work with the SGS3.
What you need
Samsung Galaxy Nexus rooted and/or Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted.
What you need to do
Simple, just start the app (App Test) you will see a text that says: ----Notifications---- and under that text other text that says TEST Notification.
1. You need to see a toggle button at the right of the second text.
2. When you turn on the toggle you have to see a notification that says: Notification ONLINE
3. When you turn off the toggle the notification should be clear.
What if I don't see something about the 3 points above?
Post what you see, and tell me what the Toast message says. I will see and try to fix it.
PLEASE POST IF IT WORKS AND IF IT DOESN'T​
App is attached.
Thanks

You might want to mention what the app does to give people an incentive to download it.

Well this one does nothing, just to know if it works. If you download it you will see that it does nothing. I don't think I need it since it just to know if a code works.
But this is one part of a app that I'm developing, which one have so far a few of root tools, but it will include a lot of root tools.

Dont think this thread should be in this development section....needs to be moved to some other section.

It works TOROPLUS.

Perfect, just what i wanted to read :good:

So basically, you are searching for people to test an app which needs root, access the internet but supposedly does nothing?
Don't count on me to fall in that kind of trap.

lol sorry forgot to eliminate that permission from the test manifest (its from the main app), but whatever you want to think. I'm searching for testers not to write my app since its not out yet.
EDIT: actually where do you get that from? I'm seeing my manifest now and it doesn't have that permission??

What is this app intended to do? I don't feel safe giving an app root access without knowing exactly what your intentions behind the app are.

wow is amazing how people trust so little in other person... the root access is to read if a file exist... then returns access to the toggle button to see the toast. So if the user don't know the phone info it can give it to me easy so I know in what device it works...

??? If I doesn't why am I posting it here?

As a developer you should already know that giving root access to an app, of which its purposes are unknown, can be dangerous. The paranoia normal users (like me) have is not unfounded. That being said, I'm not trying to accuse you of anything at all. It's just that slightly more clarification would be appreciated before you ask for someone to install apps that request for root rights.
// edit: Oh, and I'll be available if you need more maguro devices for testing.

OP you do realize that you've posted this in the wrong section.. do you?
There is a whole seperate section for apps/games in xda.
Best Regards.

This... and this post should be in the themes and apps section, why post in the dev section?

Sounds to me like op is trying to start working on something and is requesting testers so can see what works and what doesnt one step at a time instead of finishing the whole thing and having to go back thru a bunch of crap to track down the offending code. Come on guys...help a guy out. Jeez!

Well I'm almost sure that this piece of the code works, just need a toro report.

Thank you all for your feedback, the app can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32856969#post32856969

See guys! Jeez! Give the guy enough flack?
