Develop Bugs

[NEW][ROM][KERNEL] tFE22_v0.1.1 + FE22_Repack_AGAT kernel.

This thread will be a little different.
I would like to make one thing very clear. Even tho I'm posting new repacked kernel with a recovery compiled from source I can't claim this as my work.
A lot of talented devs were involved in the process and they were kind enough to guide me every step of the way and not claiming any credit for that. I would like to extend my thanks to (not in any particular order):
Chris41g
Sfhub
garwynn
Mr. Sumrall
Entropy
And many more who helped along the way.
First let us understand what is "safe" recovery.
Here is direct quote from sfhub's PM to me:
"Just think of it this way. You build your own recovery executable and have examined your source tree confirming wipe.c doesn't exist, so the operations that are handled *by your recovery* are safe. That is wipe data/factory reset and nandroid backup/restore.
When you choose to install a rom from *your recovery*, it uses a "helper app" that is in the ROMs update.zip called update-binary.
This update-binary is also compiled against libext4_utils.a, except in this case (except for your own ROM), you cannot examine the source tree update-binary was compiled against, so you can't be sure wipe.c wasn't used.
Now if that ROM update.zip were to use a "known" update-binary, like the one included with the EL29 OTA, then you would know that it was "safe" update-binary, even without the source code."
End quote.
You can read more about this In this thread if you haven't done it yet.
In other words. The bug was present in GB as well but it was missing the command to trigger it. That command has been introduced (added) in ICS code.
So:
1. As long as recovery is build against GB code it is safe.
2. If any update zip is build based on GB source code it is safe.
3. If any rom has GB updater-binary in META-INF it is safe.
4. If rom is build with ICS update-binary but doesn't have format() for data in updater-script it is safe.
As we can see here the problem is with format() command in ICS source.
There is a line (command) in ICS that wasn't present in GB and it triggers the bug. It's hiding in format() and has a wipe() syntax or something like that.
GB source code doesn't have it thus we never had any bricks in GB.
When any filename_rom_theme_whatever.zip is applied in recovery it will use updater-binary that is packed into zip and located in META-INF folder.
All GB binaries are safe since they didn't have that wipe() command in them.
We have safely used Calk's format_all.zip because it has been created in GB days and has GB updater-binary in it.
If rom devs will use GB update-binary the rom zip will be safe to flash.
Any update.zip with GB binaries is safe.
Now about the update and repack I'm about to post.
Recovery has been compiled from source provided by Chris41g and with his help against CM7 (GB) source code and all menu items in recovery are safe to use.
It has been repacked into ICS zImage but since binaries are from GB there is nothing to worry about.
tFE22_v0.1.1 has GB binary in it (as all my roms did) and it's safe to flash.
FE22_Repack_AGAT.zip has GB binaries and it's safe to use.
Whenever you wanna flash a zip file in recovery you would worry only if zip has ICS binaries packed into it. I that case even simplest zip flashing can cause a brick. It doesn't mean it would but the possibility is there.
I'm using this newly repacked kernel for couple of days now and I did apply wipe data/factory reset menu option 8 times. No problems so far.
I hope you would have same experience.
Now to my update.
tFE22_v0.1.1:
1. Fixed SystemUI.apk
2. 4G icons have been replaced with ones I had in my previous roms.
3. Added S-Voice (thanks to scarmon25 for help)
4. Small revisions all over the place.
5. Bluetooth works and reconnects as soon as device is in range
FE22_Repack_AGAT:
1. Recovery compiled from source (I can't thank enough Chris41g for his help and guidance)
2. Wipe data/factory reset is back into recovery menu (use it with caution).
3. Small changes and edits in init.rc
4. Changes and edits in recovery.rc.
5. Renamed recovery to AGAT_Recovery version tREC_0.0.1. Thanks to Chris41g for being so kind and generous because it is his recovery, source and help that make all this possible.
6. Added my logo and name to recovery background.
Here are links:
tFE22_v0.1.1
1. tFE22_v0.1.1.zip
Mirror at dev-host.
2. Deodexed version coming soon.
Repacked Kernel:
1. FE22_Repack_AGAT.tar Flash with ODIN
2. FE22_Repack_AGAT.zip Flash in recovery.
If anyone wants to use this repack for a rom feel free to do so.
One more time it's not my work but rather a combined effort of many talented devs that helped me wile staying in background and didn't want/ask for any credit for this.
But they deserve more credit than I do. They could of do it without me in a heart bit. I couldn't do it without them in a year.

Awesome. Great work agat., question, I know this is your recovery, what is it based on, ACS5, rogue, CM? And just to clarify, you can wipe using this in ics? Providing that the update script in the zip isn't ics? Did i get that right? Lol. Is there any way to tell if the update meta file script uses ICS or GB? Also does this kernel come with s some of the standard goodies, initd, bootanimation support etc? Also, 1st page again!. Shout out to rwilco for putting all these kernels I'm one place.. Its in the stickies you can't miss it. Get the NEW kick ace boot animations WITH SOUND RIGHT HERE!! Again thanks for having the extremely huge round spherical objects about a foot below the waste to do this. You are the man thank you and you are appreciated.(don't want to offend anyone this time lol)

Sweet man does the rom include the new kernel was gonna be asked may as well get it out of the way

Edit: just flashed and checked out the recovery, effing awesome!!!Excellent!!!

Looks like you pulled an all-nighter...no slacker, you.
Problem: Firefox and Opera do not play well with JumboFiles for the ROM. OpenDNS blocks it and other red flags pop-up. Any mirror or other source planned? If I'm alone, c'est la vie.
Thanks and great work, agat. Without question you're putting the greatest effort into development now and it's terrific to be a beneficiary of your going up the learning curve.
EDIT: Found a work-around to download ROM, but JumboFiles.com has a bad rep. Downloading Agat's repacked was never a problem.
FYI, Did you notice when flashing the new FE22 repack, screen indicates it is "Flashing FE16 Repacked Kernel?" I assume that's a typo.

Agat, I'm currently on rooted stock FE22 ROM with your repacked FE22 kernel, including modified ACS recovery.
Can I flash your new ROM from FE22/ACS recovery or should I mobile odin back to EL26/CWM and flash from there?

I've never tried any of your ROMs but I'm surely gonna try this one haha

FWIW, I just flashed through the "old" FE22 repack (same set-up as you) recovery without a problem.

Agat! Very nice progress made by you and all that helped in the community along the way.
Great Job!

The way I read it, that depends on the update script that's in the ROM your flashing. So if you are using this kernel plus a ROM that has an update script based on the GB script then yes. Agat, please correct me if I'm wrong...

That is exactly correct! So all devs technically should be building roms with updater scripts from GB base now, if they weren't already.

Aniboot - the app that lets you choose & flash any boot animation

Pretty cool app I just found - it's called "Aniboot".
Free install:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zb2NhbGRldnMuYW5pYm9vdCJd
Just install it. Select your resolution (1280x720 for me) and it shows you dozens of boot animations. Just click the one that sounds interesting, then click on "preview" to see what it looks like. Then click "install" if you like that animation.
The app is fast & easy to use.
If you guys find any boot animations it doesn't have already, then just send the developer an email to ask him to add it!
EDIT 12/29/12:
The Aniboot app requires root.
EDIT 12/29/12:
If you're on the new 4.1.1 JB official release, you might be having trouble using this app again? If so, then just flash the attached zip in CWM or TWRP and after doing so, the custom boot animations should start working again. Thanks go to user "Anbech" for the zip on his thread here:

Sorry, I should have said it's only for root users. I just assume everyone at XDA is rooted, since it is a "developmental" forum. :laugh:

Fantastic app. Some great choices in there, and it's free!

this also doesn't work for the S3 if the ROM you use has touchwiz.

Great app. Provides great ba's. Great for those that are sucks of the gay unicorn on aokp

do custom roms differ in boot ani location than stock?

location should be the same, difference is in TW roms the boot ani is saved under a .qmg file, in aosp or cm10 its a .zip file

All stock ROMs and most custom ROMs do not have custom boot built into their kernels. Just placing a bootanimation.zip into the system/media folder will not make the phone display the custom boot versus Sammie's stock one. This is why I posted my hack and a how-to as well as make a flasable zip for everyone to use. Check out my mods thread in development for more information on this.

Flashed boot ani enabler and still cant get to work. Rom toolbox works fine though

Start with downloading the multiboot set up from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28969737#post28969737
Here's official instructions on how to dual boot CM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28906564&postcount=49
This is really meant only for CyanogenMod based roms.
If you want to dual boot CM10 you'll want the set up from my first link. And boot CM10 v4 zip from the 2nd link
For Cm9 follow all instructions posted in the 2nd link.
Either way after you install the setup zip in CWM then go to the multiboot folder on CWM and flash fake cwm. From there you have to install your dual boot rom (You have to modify the updater script of the ROM you want to dual boot first.. these steps are also in the official instructions thread) after installing also flash gapps in red (fake) cwm.. lastly flash boot cm10v4.zip (or cm9) from either recovery at any time to get to your 2nd ROM....
Typing this all from my phone. hope it helps
The boot cm10 v4.zip works on CM10 but not 10.1, this works on AOKP ROMs based on 4.1 as well, not the ones based on android 4.2

I used to use Boot Manager Light and it was pretty buggy on my OG Evo. I think support has been dropped and it never made it to ICS support.

MazWoz SBC Kernel - If anyone wants SBC
Most things are working but I know the following are broken.
-Video playback may cause a hot reboot
-Camcorder
-4G
-FFC
Additionally, making a phonecall will cause the cpu to max at 614Mhz usually and I recommend going in to performance and bumping it up to 998.
I personally use Boot Manager in the play store to boot to CM7 whenever I need any of these features.
