[APP] (2.94 - fix bug) : GST (Galaxy S Tweaker) - 17/11/2010

GST
(Galaxy S Tweaker)
This post is not about your Tax! (lol)​
Before anything this application is not par of any other project.
This application is a new version of this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808555
I create a new thread because the application has changed a lot, and in the first version, there was a very very very very annoying bug which has formated their SD-CARD (I'm really sorry for them!).
The bug has been fixed, but may be their are others more dangerous, I've not installed all firmware available, so I've not test all the options.
To avoid some strange bugs, turn on USB debugger in your preference menu (in section application, sub section development).
Disclaimer: I will not be able to test each and every version of the MOD included, so I will not be held responsible if the mod doesn't work, or if your phone doesn't boot. Though the max you will have to do is to reflash firmware using odin.
Please keep a current backup of you apps/data and the original framework-res.apk before flashing
The best thing you can do is a nandroid backup before applying any modification to your phone !!!!!!!
Please, I read most of the comments here and in the market. Most phones broke run a firmware not supported by the app. The name of firmware supported for each function is always indicated.
Don't try a file not made for your phone. Particularly, don't use JP6 file for JI6 firmware (15 phones broke for this firmware only) !!!!!!!!
Technic to repair your phone when it's broken : flash it by using Heimdall with the same firmware that the one installed. If you use lagfix, don't forget to reinstall it. You should recover your data.
Now, about functions of this application:
help to root your phone (Eclair, and just JP1/JP2 for Froyo)
help to install voodoo lagfix (version beta 4, the beta 5 does not exist yet in update.zip, and is not yet totally finish)
help to disable voodoo lagfix (needed to update your ROM)
help to change your screen lock
help to change your fingerprint to access protected applications on the market (at the moment I use the fingerprint of droid eris phone, may be it's a better idea to use Nexus one / Desire fingerprint to access to only froyo app, like flash, if you have one of these fingerprint, can you give me it?)
I've other ideas to include, but for the moment I must be sure what I've ever done is Ok. So let me know if their is a bug.
Before using this application, make a backup of your data.
It's really possible that this application break your phone (I don't hope, but I know now that all is possible). You will have to flash your phone again. So, MAKE a BACKUP.
Most of the things included in this application is from another thread of this forum. Thanks to the authors of these tips/tools...
In particular, I want to thanks : supercurio (voodoo lagfix), Ateisti / Project01.exe (Screen Locker).
If you are interested in these project :
voodoo lagfix : http://project-voodoo.org/
screen lock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784992 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779803
battery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Updates (I forgot what I've done in other updates..., but now, I'll update here!) :
Error in downloading JP6 deodexed stock screen locker and vibrant voodoo lagfix are fixed!
version 2.93 : Add JPO/JPA support
version 2.92 : fix bug in fingerprint function
version 2.91 : Before this update, the app was not able to get write rights on system directory when voodoo lagfix was activated. Now, it's Ok!
version 2.90 : add a new backup/restore your kernel function
version 2.85 : display bug fix
version 2.84 : bug fix
version 2.83 : now use thread to execute the script generated. Should improve things.
version 2.82 : another another another bug fix... I will fix it!
version 2.81 : another bug fix (now ask su rights at the launching of the app, I think that it's a source of some of bricked phones)
version 2.8 : bug fix (add a sync command at the end of script to change battery icon, should improve things)
version 2.70 : new function - change icon battery [experimental]
version 2.60 : support now voodoo lagfix v5 for screenlock changer !!!
version 2.50 : add some security checks
version 2.40 : remove use of busybox in change screen lock
version 2.30 : another big bug corrected... and some text modifications thanks to Darkstriker
version 2.2 : some messages updated
version 2.1 : correct a bug in screen locker changer (about rights to write in system folder)
version 1.5 : bug fixes
To come (make some propositions):
APN file
Stop media scanner
Change battery icon
reboot buttons
But to make improvement, I must be sure that the actual version works well, so don't hesitate to write here the function XXX works well
And don't hesitate to rate 5 stars the app in the market!!!!!!!
Screenshots are not up to date... but I will do it... but I don't when

hope battery mod will be included. looks good!

I havent tried the app yet but looking at the screen a lot of the text has errors or sounds clumsy.
If you want to, you can send me all text from the app and I will look over it for you.

another idea for you, add an apn file download button. can help so many ppl setting their apn setting right with a click of a button

I can't seem to apply the root on Froyo. When I try it says
E:signature verification failed
Istallation aborted.

How does it install the Voodoo lagfix for Froyo?

[ROM] Mach Speed Stealth Trio Pro 9.7C (Stock w/SU and Google Play)

With a lack of Custom ROM support for this device, I took it upon myself to modify the stock ROM a bit. Since this is the first time I have done anything like this, please do not expect much. As of now - the mods are as follows:
Baked in SU/Busybox
Added Google Play (actually uses the phonesky.apk and will update automatically to latest version after signing in)
A few Build.prop tweaks
Zip aligned
So far my tablet seems a little more responsive but the main advantage is to those who are having trouble rooting or installing Google Play. Now that CWM recovery is available for this device, flash that recovery image first. Directions for this can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2189640
Once CMW is installed, wipe data/cache/dalvik and then flash the ROM!
Remember that when you first sign into the "Market" app it will take about 10 minutes for the app to auto-update to the newest version of the Play Store.
Like I said, not much here but I welcome any suggestions for improvement.

I've been meaning to try this as I have 5 of these tablets in my house and I'm sick of everyone bugging me to put games on them since they don't have the play store. One of these days I will set up an assembly line of tablets and root and flash this rom.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for this. Now installing CWM & rooting can both be achieved straight from the tablet!
More specific directions for installing CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42882562#post42882562
As for suggestions... deodex? more tweaks?

Thanks for this, I've been waiting for a while, downloaded and about to flash, thanks again will let you know if I find any fc's.

so i tried this it rebooted but no touch screen controls. i dont know what i did wrong. i did delete everything in cwm as said

Didn't work for me.
I tried to flash this from the recovery and the tablet couldn't verify the signature (?) and refused the update. I think I need a livesuite image of this tablet to fix it.

Good luck with that, I've ended up returning my tablet, there is one livesuite image but it was corrupted and it never worked...

Yeah I tried that one too.

Mach Speed Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 Bricked. Help Me Please!!!
Hello. First of all, this is the first time i'm posting here. I have a Mach Speed Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 Tablet, and I tried to install a custom rom using clockworkod recovery. I made a huge mistake because the screen doesn't work. When I press the power button it starts, but there is nothing on the screen. It just stays gray colored. I have looked around so many websites for a solution regarding this tablet, and It seems the only possible solution is to flash an image rom using Livesuit. The problem is that I need the specific image rom for this Tablet, and I haven't been able to find it nowhere. Does anyone here has a possible solution to fix this tablet? I would really apretiate any kind of help. THank you very much.

factory img
I have posted in other threads that I have the original img for the 9.7 I flashed it on my 9.7c and everything seems to be fine. Find it here:
h t t p s : / / d o c s.google.com/file/d/0B0ErylDjXdUxMU1FTFBKQ1RnNWM/edit
If it works for you please let other members know that a factory img is here. Use livesuit to flash. Use at own risk. Is there a moderator that can upload this to the roms section? Thanks

So messing around it's still black screen with backlight but HDMI works. Touch screen is way off but I was able to get to settings and still a 9.7 that doesn't work for me at least.

TABLE OF CONTENTS!
1. [ZIP]CWM6028-A10-RECOVERY-v2
2. [MODDED BACKUP] build.prop
CHANGES AND REASONING!
---- 1. I changed the dalvik.vm.heapstartsizes (Minimum for 4.0.4? 512...)
---- 2. Set wifi.supplicant_scan to 240 (I get 3 Days battery with light browsing)
---- 3. Windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec set to 90.
---- 4. Changed some settings to make it not be from china anymore.
---- 5. Fixed a typo in net.tcp.buffersize.default and net.tcp.buffersize.wifi
---- 6. STAGEFRIGHT ENABLED! Security risk, I have not checked this vulnerability yet...
---- 7. I kept it to HW rendering because the sun4i is a powerhouse when it comes to graphics and fast I/O.
---- 8. There are some things you can play around with, but; not many of them will make a benefit! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

- Link is now up

CM-11 progress so far
- Attached is a couple of photos of CM-11 running on Fire phone
Things that are not yet working:
(1) Audio through the speakers
- Music and system sounds through the headphones seems to be working
- This phone uses a TFA9887 audio amplifier chip. Need to figure out a way to enable it. The stock kernel sources don't seem to make any references to it so... must be controlled in userspace.
- In the amazon stock ROM it looks be controlled by two shared libs: libaudio-ExternalSpeakerAmps.so and libaudio-NxpTfa9887.so which are loaded by audio.primary.msm8974.so
- When trying to use the stock audio.primary.msm8974.so I see this in the logs:
Code:
[INDENT]D/audio_hw_primary( 496): select_devices: out_snd_device(2: speaker) in_snd_device(0: )

E/ExternalSpeakerAmpControl( 496): Failed to open the speaker amp control (1) at address = 0x35. Error = 108
D/audio_speaker_platform( 496): Loading speaker use case "music"[/INDENT]

oooooo going to be keeping a very close eye on this thread now.

Update
Progress for today.
- WiFi is working
- Sensors are working
- Baseband seems to be detected correctly - put my sim card in and got a SIM network unlock screen - screenshot attached. I got the phone for nearly next to nothing. But looks like I need it unlocked to use my SIM.
- Bluetooth is working - paired with a keyboard and works good.
- Gapps working
- Front and rear camera not working yet
- Sound, need to figure this out - this is a show stopper at the moment. No Ringing of phone etc
On the amplifier issue did a little digging and other devices like the HTC M7 tend to have a kernel driver which implements an IOCTL interface to userspace but this doesn't seem to the case in the Fire Phone's stock kernel in which I couldn't find any reference to the TFA9887.
I'll have to research a bit more.
I'll do an early preview release at a good point.

Thanks for your hard work.

wonderful ! I just bought fire phone

Thanks for your. Hard.working,I just get my fire phone

Great work! Congrats!

Great work will this also work on the US 4.6.1 software version 461013820.bin. thanks

Should work. If it doesn't, you should be able to boot into the amazon recovery and sideload your stock firmware.
Let me know your results. Once you confirm its working I'll update the OP.

@ggow
Just making an observation, the external speakers do not depend individually on the stock audio libs (libaudio-ExternalSpeakerAmps.so ; libaudio-NxpTfa9887.so etc..) but might also depend on Dolby frameworks that the stock rom calls.
I want to test it out but i'm having problems with hyper-v atm.

Thanks.
I had a brief look at the chain of dependencies. This is all I could find. However I will take a look tomorrow. And let you know what I find

CM-11 Progress update
- Front and rear cameras are now working.
- Google camera and OpenCamera are perfectly fine
- Stock camera app is displaying the preview image upside down.
- Google camera seems to give significantly better photo quality than the stock camera app.
- I will probably remove stock camera app from the build.

Good News
- I have audio on the the speakers... Exactly as I thought- the Tfa9887 is controlled only from the two shared libs I previously mentioned. The fix was to set the correct permissions on /dev/i2c-8 and set a property which indicates audio has been initialized correctly.
- I have a few things to tidy up - like a couple of force closes etc
- Need to do a bit of testing, test video, a couple games etc
- After all of that it should be ready to go.
- I won't have tested make calls, sms and mobile data - so the first release will be a BETA.
EDIT: I should start a [DEV] thread for this so I don't clog up this thread anymore.

Thanks a lot for sharing this build. Now that the method for restoring our phones to stock has been taken away from us, I'm hoping that more people will jump in and try to solve some of the few remaining issues with this ROM.
Personally I'd like to figure out why the Play Store is installing old versions of certain apps and listing other apps as being incompatible while they can be still sideloaded without any problem. I've found many threads on XDA with people complaining about the same issue but no solution that worked so far. Is this an issue with opengapps, or bad entries in the build.prop? I've compared with the original build.prop from stock 6.0.1 and tried changing values around but no success.
Also battery life seems a lot shorter with Nougat, and there is no way to find out which apps/processes are being power hungry as you have already pointed out.
Issues aside this ROM still makes this phone quite usable and stable compared with other ROM's I have tried so good job and I'm looking forward to testing out new builds.

new thread - we're open for business!
@vknecht once again, thanks for your continued efforts... I tried your Sept 12 release with opengapps Sept. 12 as well - the Play store continues to thwart our efforts in the same manner.
@upyisfar I found that the battery drain during sleep could be reduced to almost nil with the following settings:
- turn off WIFI during sleep - Settings-> WIFI -> Gear Icon -> Keep WIFI on during sleep -> change to....
- turn off Emergency Broadcasts - Settings -> ...More ->Emergency Broadcasts -> Uncheck all

20180918 build : add ptt_socket_app for better wifi and battery
This was a complain in the logs, so added it from MM.
There are still batterystats related problems but there's a lead...:
Code:
09-19 15:14:35.466 1192 1344 E BatteryStatsService: no controller energy info supplied
09-19 15:14:35.748 1192 1212 E BatteryStatsService: power: Missing API

Thanks @upyisfar @tess1 for the feedback, keep us posted with your findings...

@vknecht
1. Just tried something... reinstalled 7/18 build where all of the play store program installations were working and then overlayed it with OTA 9/18 which then led to PLay Store blocking installation of many apps ("device isn't compatable" error) - I recall that the build after 7/18 included 25 fixes/commits. Not easy to track it down but could the problem be from one of those fixes/commits?
2. The proximity sensor (tsl2772-ps) error was earlier reported as either missing a driver or needing a shim. Is this a file that can be pulled from Marshmallow and put into this ROM?
Battery updates to follow

Interesting. How do we know if those changes were merged into the LineageOS's code repo?

I've installed your new build last night and I've set my kernel to run in permissive mode (Magisk SELinux Manager module) and safetynet basicIntegrity test still passes just so you know. Battery life now feels more comparable to what I get in stock MM. Not sure if this due to SELinux being switched to permissive or the the changes that you have made.
What build environment are you using to build your ROM's, I'm trying to build on Debian stable following your instructions here and keep getting compilation errors.

I thought the 20180905 build ruled out the august kernel updates as the breaker but in fact I should and will retry kernel from july with SELinux enabled ; if it's still not OK then I guess the cause is LOS august update...

iiuc the hint is that we need either a HAL/framework wrapper OR reuse stock Lollipop driver+shim.
I'm sorry I don't know much about this low-level androidy stuff yet and don't have much time atm to focus on it.

I'm using Fedora 28 ; note that you'd have to update the local manifest ($ANDROID_ROOT/.repo/local_manifests/idol3.xml) using given kernel/device/vendor trees as linked in OP, so at the moment it should look like :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="vknecht/android_device_alcatel_idol3" path="device/alcatel/idol3" remote="github" revision="fix-ptt_socket_app" />
<project name="vknecht/android_kernel_alcatel_msm8916" path="kernel/alcatel/msm8916" remote="github" revision="upstream-lxstable-cafrb144" />
<project name="vknecht/proprietary_vendor_alcatel" path="vendor/alcatel" remote="github" revision="fix-ptt_socket_app" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-14.1" />
</manifest>
(to use july kernel change revision to "upstream-lxstable").
For idol3 build environment setup help, feel free to send me private messages or join #idol3 on Freenode, or maybe even create a thread, for the more we are able to build, the better...

1 Just tried the 9/05 build --> same play store issue --> August updates maybe problematic
2 Fair enough... I don't know enough but am willing to beta test along the way
It is all in progress...

I've tried the july 3.10.68 kernel (used in 20180718 and 20180905 builds) with current device/vendor trees, and still G compat problems, so it leaves the Android/LineageOS diffs from 2018-06-05 to 2018-08-05 patch levels (afaik there was no 2018-07-05 for LOS 14.1 and there's no 2018-09-05 yet).

20180924 build : 2018-09-05 android security patch level
Only change is Android/LineageOS framework (repo sync) for 2018-09-05 update
Too sad, it doesn't seem to solve the some-apps-in-proeminent-vendor-store incompatibility problem...
@upyisfar : I've wondered about "the method for restoring our phones to stock has been taken away from us", what did you mean ?
While, too bad, the Sugar utility (which had my preference) now fails on a "site not found" error (maybe should try a fresh install, why not in Wine), I still could reset by using the "Panasonic Eluga Switch" utility then the "Mobile Q upgrade" (~1 hour total, with 100Mbs connection) to go back to stock.

The Sugar utility was what I was referring to. Haven't had any success with the Mobile Q though, I always get a "check your internet connection" message or something like that. The MM 6.0.1 ROM posted by The Marionette is close enough though. I don't expect Alcatel to push more OTA updates for this device anyway.
I'm sticking with your build of Nougat now that the battery drain issue has gone away. I don't mind manually transfering the APK's from another device to my phone, for now at least. I have managed to set up my build environment (was missing a dependency) and will be producing a test build soon to see if I can fix a thing or two. In the mean time I will happily upgrade to the new build that you have just posted. Thanks!

Just 3 weeks ago, I was able to restore (in Canada) my Idol 3 to stock MM using Mobile Upgrade (I think it was version 5.1.7 as 5.1.8 would not do anything).
Here is an upload link:
5.1.7:

5.1.8:

I put the phone into download mode and it took about 30 minutes.

re: add ptt_socket_app for better wifi and battery
Would it be possible for you to list the (hopefully few) files and any edited files that you put into this build and the corresponding locations so that I can graft them onto my 7/18 build?

OK. I was wondering if Alcatel was geo-blocking some countries seeing how some people have success and others don't. I'm in Canada too so I guess that isn't the issue. For now I'm more interested in trying to find a solution to the opengapps compatibility problem.

Does it make it better for you too ? (dunno if there's a non-root or GUI equivalent...)

Good news!
I have found the fix for the opengapps store compatibility issue.
I noticed in CPU-z that the reported OpenGL ES version was 1.0 so I added a line to my build.prop:
Code:
ro.opengles.version=196609
And now CPU-z reports version OpenGL ES version 3.1 and all my apps are available for download in the G store.
the value "196609" is decimal for hexadecimal 30001 (OpenGL ES 3.1). Ive seen a commit on github that says support for 3.2 was added but when I change the value to "196610", CPU-z still reports 3.1 not sure why..

Appears to be working since the 2 latest builds, with SELinux set to enforce:

V4A presets

I have been trying to install v4a presets on my Oneplus but I cant seem to get them to work. I tried a method from another post on here which said to just make a presets folder (/internalstorage/viper4android/presets) and to copy the xml files into there, but then v4a didn't recognize them.
I also installed a folder of like 1600 presets from here too and looking through them I noticed they all have similar names like "headset.xml" or "bt_a2dp.xml" so I was wondering if that has a meaning or if I can change them since I want multiple files from the collection.
I am running lineage o and I am rooted on my oneplus 7t.

Needs to be selinux permissive for V4A to work

Uhm can you elaborate

Use selinuxchanger.apk to switch to permissive and then V4A will work

Releases · MrBIMC/SELinuxModeChanger
Simple android app that sets SELinux into desired mode on each boot. I opensourced it because google banned such apps from Google Play. Licence is GPLv3. Enjoy! - MrBIMC/SELinuxModeChanger

Thanks for the suggestion, but I looked into it and apparently the version I'm using works with enforcing mode on. Also my problem was just with the presets which I managed to fix by just reinstalling the magisk module while keeping my presets folder in the v4a folder.
I still have not figured out what the filenames mean but I think it's just the type of output device while the folder gives it the name.
Still don't really know what SELinux is so I'm going to keep that on default for now. Seems to be a security protocol so I don't know if I want to turn that of.
Anyway thanks again for your help

Hey man maybe you can help me
I need a magisk flashable batch script for changing / replacing a value in many xml files per batch i wont to help the guys from viper4android maybe you know the tool following operations : open file - jump to row / string - read value - calculate new value - write value - save file - jump to next xml and so on.
Description : The values for surround section changed from 120 - 0 130 - 1 140 - 2 150 -3 160 - 4 170 -5 and so on until 8 old values : 120- 200 new values 0- 8
Maybe you can help me with this many people would be happy to solve the wrong conversion issue of viper4 Android presets or maybevyou know somebody
