[DEV] UK Stock System Dump - Build ITL41D

Going to preface this with the fact that I'm relatively new to the dev scene. I'm still learning, but we all learn by doing right?
This dump is taken from my rooted UK retail O2 Galaxy Nexus. Rooted using adb method (not superboot method) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352004
Not entirely positive these are done perfectly (especially the .zip) but I think that may creatable from my dd image anyways. I'd appreciate someone with dev experience looking over these and okaying them, and maybe regular users staying away from trying to do anything with these until someone more experienced says they're alright?
I just figured that seeing I uploaded these for 2 people I may as well make them publically available for all.
I'm also including the steps I took inside code tags for anyone to point out any mistakes I may have made.
DD Image as requested by Maximilian Mary:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system of=/sdcard/galaxynexussystem.img
Available here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KXFYSMT2 or http://multiupload.com/CPP4L2553Y
Zip file as originally requested by Revolution
I followed http://www.robmcghee.com/android/creating-an-android-update-zip-package/ - Thinking back I realise I probably didn't need to sign it, whoops
Code:
## Create folders dump, dump/system, dump/META-INF/com/google/android
cd dump
adb pull /system system
## Edited /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script with:
## show_progress 0.1 0
##
## copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
## set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app
## show_progress 0.1 10
##
## Zip system and META-INF folders into gnsys.zip
## Signed using testsign.jar
Available here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KXFYSMT2 or http://www.filesonic.com/file/3935308085/gnsys-signed.zip
If anyone spots anything wrong with either my commands or my files, please reply with what I did wrong so I can learn from that, thanks.

UPDATE: I've unpacked the img file and imported the proprietary files.
So we can make ROMs

It appears MU is returning an error if you try to access the files.
I've uploaded the 2 files to other mirrors too, apologies if anyone has tried to grab these and failed.

I'm about to have some fun with this right now , i'm home from school i'm about to eat & work on something .

[HELP] Kernel and Kernel Modules

Hi to all devs here,
I am currently creating a new ROM with modified stock kernel. Currently I have basic features for the ROM and for my kernel, what I have is init.d support. I would like to add the following kernel modules:
DroidWall
Governors and IO Scheduler
BaCem
EXT4
Now, would copying the modules to system/lib/modules do the trick? Or do I need anything else? I'm currently new in creating custom ROMS, so any help/advise is greatly appreciated.
Also, can anyone give me the link for SpareParts.apk? I have seen many spareparts.apk but all of them are from creeds rom.
Thanks,
Carl

you'll need init.d script to call the modules. for bacem tweak, you should put the init.d script from irfan's thread since it also contain the script needed to set the voltage and fix the bug in bacem tweak. for another modules, you'll only need to call the modules in boot via init.d script. you can use these script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod <location of modules1>
insmod <location of modules2>
the modules are usually stored in /sytem/lib/modules so you'll need to replace <location of modules> with /system/lib/modules/<module name>. after boot you can check whether if the modules loaded or not by typing "lsmod" in terminal.
EDIT: you can find sparepart.apk in my thread about one pack tweak.

can i use ur kernel in m stock rom...if yes put it

Thank you sir kurotsugi. BTW, do i need to include the extension of the module like this:

be carefull if yo're using ext4 as a modules. it should be mounted first before another script running and don't ever change your /data, /system, and /cache partition to ext4.

Sir...if i change ext3 to ext4 in ur ope pack tweak, can i mount ext4?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

theoritically it will work only if your kernel support it and you have loaded ext4 modules before mount command. never interested to test it. ext3 is easier and better.

Bro, how to change /system /data and /cache from ext4 to rfs ??

our default system partition is already in rfs. you can modify ext4 file from maroc to revert it.

I know, but somehow i format /cache to ext4. Maybe. Coz when i create backup nandroid file is cache.ext4.tar else is system.rfs.tar and data.rfs.tar
And yes it show in /sys/fs/ext4/stl10 which mean /cache partition fyi i use my kernel that support ext4.
I want to change /cache from ext4 to rfs again but dont know how try with tick repartition in odin still no hope just stuck in download mode.

Code:
ui_print("Starting Operation...");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Formarting cache with rfs...");
format("rfs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl10");
ui_print("Mount cache with rfs...");
mount("rfs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl10", "/cache");
show_progress(0.1, 100);
ui_print("Done");
ui_print("All praise is due to Allah");
its an updater script. you can give it a shot

Hi devs,
I would like to ask few more n00b questions:
1. Should I put EXT4 at 00EXT4_module or 00bacem-tweak and put ext4 at 01 inside init.d?
2. How do I set the default keyboard for a custom ROM
3. How do I get 14 Toggle Status Bar + Swipe to Clear Notification working on DXLE1? It works on lower firmware version but on DXLE1, it makes the status bar disappear.
PS. I don't want to start another thread so I am asking here. Thanks in advance!

i don't get it. do you mean the script used to call the modules? if yes, it doesn't matter where you put it. you'll only need to make sure that it run before another script, especially a2sd script or similar method. you can easily arrange the sequence by the number and alphabet.
2. How do I set the default keyboard for a custom ROM
Click to expand...

if you still have the default keyboard, our system will use that as default keyboard. you can remove it so your keyboard will work as default but make sure that your keyboard is working since not all 3rd party keyboard could work as system app.

if there's no status bar FC issue the problem could come from improper method of compiling the apk. it sometimes happen when we use old apktool version. dxlc and dxle are using similar framework, you can try to use systemUI from another custom rom based on dxlc for an alternative if you can't solve that compiling issue.

[Developer Discussion] JB Rom Creation

Hi All,
I'm starting this thread so that we can compile in one location the methods we attempted to create a zip for the recent Jellybean update, and hopefully advance the creation of this rom. This should be mentioned before starting.
ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE RELEVENT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS JELLYBEAN ROM.
This Includes:
Procedures
Logcats
Test Builds
Helpful Suggestions (Be Specific)
To start, I've attempted the following alterations on the zip level:
Straight System dump with updated updater-script
System dump with default updater script
Modified updater script removing patch elements
Utilizing the Canadian Rom, which flashed and appplying new system.
Swapping out radio flashing and boot.img with shellnutt's boot.img
I also have the following plans:
System Dump on Canadian Rom, and default boot.img
Recursive Deleting of patched files
Example
Code:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so", "65cfe8efc36cf58669e5fb9f30274bc49c3f9703", "e1a051bb2562af8d9b106ef4b875f85a6109ee9e"));
set_progress(0.003080);
delete("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so");
Than initiate the normal package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Any other information would be great. Some developers have gotten it to flash but not boot.
Also, here's a link to the test builds I released.
http://goo.im/devs/AdriVelazquez/Roms/Nightlies/TestSprint
Thanks to all the developers that have been working on it.

This is what I've tried:
Used the boot.img & system.img. from dump to compile a rom in dxsdia's kitchen. I was able to apply root to the boot.img and compiled a zip but it wont flash. I then added the updater script from the dump but it still wouldn' t flash. Ithink my problem is in the updater script. I didn't take thetime to configure the kitchen properly for the optimus G but will do so tonight. I have the 2 test zips at home and I'll post them tonight if anyone wants to take a look.

Suggestion:
Since houstonns Korean port boots, and all is well except radio, would it also help to look at that system dump along with the Canadian? Maybe something to utilize?

im pretty sure its something in the updater-script within the rom,you just have to change it from mounti ext4 to mounting to f2fs,someone in the dirtyv thread compared the commotio script and a slimkat one and made a slimkat f2fs,plus you have to use the kernel from the alpha commotio rom as well

How I changed paranoid (pa_maguro-4.4-BETA1-20140603) a f2fs compatible ROM.
1) Download latest dirty f2fs compatible kernel zip file. Extract the file "boot.img" to a temporary location
2) Download ROM zip file.
3) Open ROM zip file using 7-zip. Delete "boot.img" and replace with "boot.img" from the dirty kernel (saved in step#1)
4) Open ROM zip and browse to "\META-INF\com\google\android\". Extract "updater-script" to a temporary folder.
5) Open "updater-script" in a text editor. I use notepad++.
6) Replace string
"mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "/system");"
by
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
Again, replace string
"format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "0", "/system");"
by
"run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system");"
7) If you need to mount data partition add string
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");"
after strings
"run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system");"
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
8) Add string
"symlink("../bin/fsck.f2fs", "/system/bin/dump.f2fs");"
after
"package_extract_dir("system", "/system");"
also add string
"symlink("mount.exfat", "/system/bin/fsck.exfat",
"/system/bin/mkfs.exfat");"
after
"symlink("mksh", "/system/bin/sh");"
9) If you loaded data partition in step 7 you'll need to unmount it at the end by adding string
"unmount("/data");"
10) Replace original updater script the edited one in the ROM zip.
11) Done.
12) Seriously. It's done. Go test it out.
Basically, all(hopefully) this does is, it make sure that ROM's updater script formats/mounts partitions are f2fs, rather than ext4.
Again, I'm not a developer and have just a little working knowledge of what these commands might do. Use this at your own risk.
I've attached original and updated scripts that I've used. You can use compare (ctrlD) feature in notepad++ and see difference between them.
Hope this helps. All the best. :good:
To all the developers and smart people out here, please feel free to suggest changes, or let me know when there's a more comprehensive guide out there, so I can remove this and link to the improved post.
P.S. This might look complicated, but just takes about 5 minutes, not including download time.

I did exactly the same, however for slim there was no need to add some lines.
Simply, from what I saw, replace every line that has mount or format ext4 with the appropriate line for F2FS:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "/ANYPARTITION");​
get replaced by
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/ANYPARTITION");​
and
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "0", "/ANYPARTITION");​
get replaced by
run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/ANYPARTITION");​
obviously:
1.change ANYPARTITION following the partition wrote in your updater script
2. REPLACE ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY: I think you should not add MORE format partition lines than the one present before. Just replace what you have. If you followed the steps explained by AOSP inside the DIrtyV thread, you should have already all the partition F2FS formatted.​
A useful thing to do if you have doubts (is what I've done) is to search if the rom you want to convert already has a F2FS version on another device and compare the scripts (without caring about lines that are different because of the different device). For example, I compared Grouper's F2FS slimkat to maguro one, and thanks to this I've understood that mount/format partitions thing.

^^ Lot better.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard if we modified this to work with our phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731666

I downloaded looked at the scripts and when I get a chance I'll try to do it for our device. Maybe this weekend.

There is like only 4 lines that need to be changed in omni updater-script. Am i right?

Read about 5 posts back. Punkiderma and I have outlines steps for paranoid. You can follow them for cm11 as well. Post your results here.

r4 - Custom ROM starter template - Honor 5X KIW-L21 B330

As well as my own MoDaCo Custom ROM for the 5X, I've created a custom ROM starter template for anyone who wants to have a go. It's a bit different.
Basically, this ROM template will let you create your own custom ROM VERY easily. Easier than ever before. All you have to do is...
download my ROM template zip
make the changes to the system of your phone just as you'd like them for your custom ROM
run some commands on your device via ADB
add the 2 resulting files to the template zip
That's it! No messaging around with install scripts, no rebuilding anything complex, just mod - and go!
Preparation
ONLY if you are completing the process for the first time, you need to set up a file on your microSD card - so launch and ADB shell and type the following commands...
Code:
touch /sdcard/exclude
echo app > /sdcard/exclude
echo priv-app >> /sdcard/exclude
echo delapp >> /sdcard/exclude
ROM build
Once you have your system up and running how you want it, and you're ready to distribute it (just the system and cust dirs mind, it won't pull the data dir, so your personal data is safe), reboot to recovery, launch an ADB shell and type the following commands:
Code:
mount /system
tar -X /sdcard/exclude -zcvpf /sdcard/system.therest.tar.gz /system/
tar -zcvpf /sdcard/system.apps.tar.gz /system/app /system/priv-app /system/delapp
mount /cust
tar -zcvpf /sdcard/cust.tar.gz /cust
You'll then end up with 3 new files on your SD card - system.apps.tar.gz (which is apps and priv-apps from system), system.therest.tar.gz (which, as the name suggests, is the rest of the system partition!) and cust.tar.gz with is the cust partition contents.
Update the template zip with these 3 files and that's it. It's ready to distribute for people to flash via TWRP! If you have updated the boot image, you'll need to replace that too, the easiest way is to do a TWRP backup then pull that file from the SD card and drop it into the template zip as boot.img. That's really it!
I hope this inspires a few people to start playing around with custom ROMs for the 5X... more cool things coming soon!
Oh and the all important template file...

Thankyou, can I use this script for L-22? And will your MoDaCo rom will work with L-22?

I don't think this one will in its entirety, but you can make your own template by pulling the boot image from the TWRP backup and using the commands above to create the files to put in the zip.

Oh, I see. I will try after my exams. And MoDaCo rom will support all versions or only L-21?

I tested it on my L24-B140 and it worked just fine. Thanks for sharing

I think it's going to be worth integrating /cust into this too, as they are a lot of things pulled from there (such as the build.prop changes). It'll be simple enough though.
re: non KIW-L21 devices, creating a template for other models shouldn't be any issue at all. I'm getting a US spec Honor 5X, so that'll be helpful.

Are you referring to the cust/hw/USA/prop/local.prop
the rest of the stuff in cust seems pretty standard like (media/bootanimation.zip)

Might as well make all of /cust changeable.

so just add tar -zcvpf /sdcard/system.apps.tar.gz /system/app /system/priv-app /cust
or does it need it's own line and an updater-script edit to include it

That should probably work. updater-script will need to include mounting /cust too.

yeah that worked as expected, only question is their any user info stored in /cust that we might not want to share ?
I didn't check every file in their

No, /cust is read only.

So just to be sure, if I want to remove facebook and twitter from /cust/preinstalled/public
I would need to add --> run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-rf", "/cust/*");
to erase the /cust folder first ? the same way /system is erased / formated

Exactly.

Alright, here's my updater-script with all the changes
Code:
ui_print("Flashing boot...");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot");
delete("/tmp/boot.img");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
mount("ext4","EMMC","/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "/system");
mount("ext4","EMMC","/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cust", "/cust");
ui_print("Erasing system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-rf", "/system/*");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-rf", "/cust/*");
ui_print("Extract Apps...");
package_extract_file("system.apps.tar.gz", "/tmp/system.apps.tar.gz");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "tar", "zxvf", "/tmp/system.apps.tar.gz", "-C", "/");
delete("/tmp/system.apps.tar.gz");
ui_print("Extract System Files...");
package_extract_file("system.therest.tar.gz", "/tmp/system.therest.tar.gz");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "tar", "zxvf", "/tmp/system.therest.tar.gz", "-C", "/");
delete("/tmp/system.therest.tar.gz");
sync();
unmount("/system");
unmount("/cust");
ui_print("Done Enjoy !!");
set_progress(1.000000);
