maybe you will need to replace the "firmware"folder in that zip with firmware folder of gingerbread for you device
also the same procedure for the "media_profile.xml" in etc...
this could work:
just take that zip in my post, replace firmware folder and the media_profile.xml with the ones of your latest gingerbread...
and follow the installation instructions in my post

look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26511647&postcount=428
you can see whats working and whats not working...
you can use the camera_experimental-0.1.zip
but you need to replace the firmware folder and the media_profile.xml in that zip with the ones of the latest gingerbread for your device
and do not forget to follow the installation instructions
for your further development on camera, you can also use these "instructions for camera testers"
(maybe you will add these to post#1 of this topic here)
--------------------------
here are instructions for camera testers:
Few important things:
1. make notes, because we will need it to restore steps.
2. make a logcat:
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
if you want, edit logs like that (less logs - easier to read, logs only related with camera):
Linux shell:
Code:
cat ./logcat.txt | grep camera > logcat.new.txt
Windows cmd:
Code:
type logcat.txt | findstr camera > nwelogcat.txt
3. If you will find in log that HAL cannot connect with camera do not post logs, because they are useless
4. Do not zip or rar logs = easier to read on phone
----------------------------------
Additional Links:
You can try files from these phones.
Phones with MSM8255:
- CDMA XPeria Play
- LG Revolution
- HTC Desire S
- Sony xperia mini,mini pro, neo etc - camera works
- My touch 4g - camera works
- Xperia play - camera works
- Htc desire s - camera works
- Huawei honor - official ICS
- Htc one V - no front camera but official ICS
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639634
Thanks to: Spider550 for links, he cannot post here yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you make a logcat, do not forget to post which files you used.
folders for all files:
do not forget to set permissions for changed files/folders like all other files/folders there... and reboot after all changes you made!
*.so files to /system/lib
media_profile.xml to /system/etc
camera.apk to /system/app
firmware files to /system/firmware (maybe you have to create a folder)
---------
now you can start with testing.
for logcat = shutdown device - boot - start camtests - after that make a logcat directly.

open the zip file, delete the folder "firmware" and push your firmware folder from the latest gingerbread of your device on that place...

[GUIDE][DEV] aroma ROM+KERNEL installer pack

using aroma installer for any mod installation is cool. you might want to use it to install your rom. however, only a few member here know how to use it correctly. this thread is intended to introduce aroma installer to any rom devs here. I've made a simple aroma installer to install rom and kernel for any dev who want to use and learn about it. please don't expect any "wow" thing from this stuff. if you're a rom dev you should learn aroma installer by yourself. this stuff is only something I hope could help you understand the structure of aroma installer and how to make it by your self.
long story short. here is the link
v1 http://d-h.st/Epd
v1.1 http://d-h.st/r09
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how to use:
1. open/extract the zip file
2. put your rom system file in /system folder as in your usual zip file
3. replace boot.img with your kernel
4. rezip the zip file

Many Many Thanks For This Great Guide............ Thanks Friend.............
I Hope All(not All)ROM User Now USE Aroma Installer..

Gr8! Downloading... (i don't know today my connection give speed 12kb/s )
Sr sir, but construction:
1. Extract this file
2. Put/replace in current system folder.
3. Zip and install via CWM

yup...its just as simply like that. replace the system folder with yours, rezip, done. the kernel is a test stuff so you might want to replace with something else. if every rom here using aroma installer, the other forum will be so envious. let's go up!!

Great man,you've just cracked open a new door in sgy developement.

There is no boot.img in the package you gave. What should I replace?
---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------
Btw what files should I mod? There are 2 kinds of files namely " . txt " and the " .txt~ " ones.

put in the root folder. just like boot.img in previous version. I didn't put that kernel since it significanly increase the file size.

How could i use this package to install multiple roms?????? in one aroma?? any help wpuld be awesome!!

you can modify the script by yourself. if you don't want to make one, you can use the slot used to install busybox.

[HOW TO] Deodexing the note2 international version

EDIT* After trying for so much on learning how to deodex a rom I finally found the way to do it. I take NO credit for what I'm going to post. i Found this tutorial browsing and searching online for a while and thanks to WANAM for telling me he uses dsinxda to deodex his roms. and DSIXDA for making the tool. Im just going to post the steps I did in order to get my stock rom deodexed. If I make a mistake or use wrong any term please forgive me I'm learning as you are. I just want to help you guys to be able to deodex your rom. I'M NOT GOING TO POST DOWNLOAD LINKS, JUST THE THREADS WHERE YOU NEED TO GO AND DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF. (This to avoid issues with OP of other threads)
DOWNLOAD YOUR STOCK ROM IN A FORMAT TO BE FLASHED BY ODIN. GO TO http://sammobile.com and download your rom. After you have it REMOVE the .md5 at the end. Leave it as .tar
First of all you need to have java, android SDK installed and adb. for this FIRST OF ALL go here and follow the steps
STEP 1 http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...d-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid=57
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/downloading-and-installing-the-java-development-ki.html
Afterwards go here and read a little bit. It will give you an overall of what you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939300 (Yeah I now is for the s3 BUT BELIEVE ME IT WORKS) leave it open just in case.
then visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and READ IT!
-Download the kitchen and afterward go to post number 3 to install it, I used the option number one for windows 7. i downloaded dsixda_cygwin_install.zip. If you have other operating system I honestly don't know how to do it.
Also click where it says ''RECOMMENDED: Click here for a pictorial guide to assist you with the Cygwin install (thanks to carl1961).'', it will give you a tutorial on how to install the kitchen. Be patient. sometimes you make the steps and it seems is not doing anything, but its working it's just slow.
follow that pic guide on how to install and when you're setting up your rom when it opens the ext2explore tool you dont see your system.img close the kitchen and delete the working folder and start again setting it up and it will work. (at least for me, the 1st time i had no ext4_system.img, the second time I did)
VERY IMPORTANT. After you extract the system, EXTRACT THE CSC If not your rom WON'T WORK.
(Diskinternals linux reader is found on the kitchen folder, then tools. FYI)
ok. after you have Installed the kitchen and the working folder is ready
go to the working folder and delete ext4_system.img from system folder if there is any. Then
-Choose option 0- Advanced Options
-Then choose option 11 Deodex files in your rom
-Then ''bb'' IF YOU WANT
-Then ''v'' and set android level to 16
-then option ''b'' and sit back and wait.
-Then option ''x'' when it's done
-Choose option 99 and follow the steps. remember to zipalign the apps and sign your rom, then change the name of the rom if you want.
- I did not rooted my rom. i use the method 2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 to root it aftwerwards. :fingers-crossed:
FINAL STEP! MANDATORY! PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF THIS POST HELPED YOU! :good: :victory: :highfive:
Then copy the rom to your external sd and wipe data, cache , dalvik and go to mount and storage and format system.
go back and flash rom from external sd.
:angel: there you go, your deodexed rom! :fingers-crossed:
I hope this have been helpfull

Hi I have a stick rom that is deodexed and I use this works like a charm

[App]Boot Spash Screen Changer

I postet this App originally in the Android main general section, beacause I am searching for testers on other devices,
but I developed it using our phone so you can give it a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42077109
Hi guys, I always wanted to change my Boot Splash Screen (that thing that shows before the Boot Animation)
So i tryed to write a simple app.This will work on every device, how ever I need testers to confirm.
This Application needs Root Access and CWM or TWRP in order to work.
So I didn't manage to get a working conversion from png to rle on the Android platform it self, however I wrote a windows Converter.
Get it :
Please not that this is a pre alpha, so don't be mad if you think it sucks.
There is much more to come but I need to test this feature now to resume developing it.
- alpha 1
Added a server to easily download the Converter to your PC
- Pre-alpha1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z530xpgaw5cmrfq/pre-alpha-1.apk
- Converter for Windows : https://www.dropbox.com/s/x0sfxwx7deuqquh/PNG-2-RLE.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions :
1. Resize the png file to your screen dimensions
2. place it in the same folder as the executabel Conveter
3. Copy the .rle on your phone
4. Run the App and choose the .rle
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Help :
There is still a lot of work to do.Any help is appreciated.Please pm me.
You can help by :
-making an Icon [the current sucks but I am not good at graphics]
-port the Windows script to linux
-test it and report it back here

Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini NX403A - Android 5.0.2 CM12

Hi
I have new Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini NX403A, there was hard to find information about upgrade and root so here it is, all in one thread!
When you buy Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini its came to you with Android 4.2.2.
When you plug in phone to computer by USB cable you can install USB drivers right from device. Make a backup of this drivers because after upgrade you will be not able to access it again.
There is a copy for you: USB drivers for ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini -> download
When the drivers will be installed turn on USB Debugging mode. (Settings->About Device, click a few times in Build Version to turn on Developers access. Now go to Settings->Developer options.)
First step is to root your device.
Root ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini – download
Download it and extract. Run íżbatROMdiyí┐╣Ąż▀¤ń.exe file.
Wait till your phone will be detected then choose option "05....." from the menu in CMD window.
If the installation will be completed then you will find two new icons Link2SD and SuperSU on your phone screen.
To install TWRP Custom Recovery you need to install Flashify app.
Download, extract and copy TWRP 2.8.6.1 Recovery into SD Card and also copy to SD Card file ui.zip with theme for TWRP with English language unless you know Chinese (more themes for TWRP here on XDA)
Install and run Flashify app. In app menu click on Choose File and select TWRP2.8.6.1-Recovery.img file from SD Card.
Confirm.
When your phone will reboot go to phone memory and inside TWRP catalog create new one called "theme" and put there ui.zip file.
Download an copy into SD Card these two files:
–Android 5.0.2 CM12 temasek-v9.4-nx403a.zip
–gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip
NEW UPDATED ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62249397&postcount=4
Run phone in Recovery Mode. (Hold in the same time: Power button and Volume Up.)
From TWRP menu choose Wipe (Wipe your phone to factory settings before you will install new Rom)
After wipe choose from TWRP menu option Install.
Choose from SD Card temasek-v9.4-nx403a.zip file and confirm installation of new ROM.
Reboot your phone and enjoy your new system
If you want Google Play Store and other Google apps install gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip file the sam way you installed ROM from TWRP Recovery.
You need root your phone again. Download and install SuperSU from Google Play
Go to Settings->Developer Options->Root Access and choose Apliactions and ADB
Run SuperSU, accept root instalation and choose CWM/TWRP option.
If you get "soft brick" of your phone you can recover it with this instruction.
Rom do not have any bugs or errors. Works fine.
Screenshots (my language is Polish but all other languages are supported I also got some apps already installed):

Screenshot please..

When I upload it here it was free, now file is deleted, so you don't need to register, because there is nothing at all to download there.
