[How To] Install and launch AdvancedConfigTool and RegistryEditor on device 2nd gen.

Good evening ladies and gentleman.
I have HTC Titan I (x310e) with developer unlock and I was unable install and launch Julien Schapman apps - Advanced Config Tool and RegistryEditor. I was looking for a solution and today I have that.
We have to (my movie):
1. Download xap files:
- Advanced Config Tool - http://www.touchxperience.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=890 (working good only version 1.5.0.0 to install in settings)
- RegistryEditor - http://www.touchxperience.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593 (working good only version 1.1.0.0)
2. Rename extension from *.xap to *.zip.
3. Open these with system (Win7) support (not 7zip, WinRAR, etc.).
4. Cut file: WMAppManifest.xml and paste in other folder.
5. Open that file with system text editor (right click and select edit).
6. Remove line with text: "INTEROPSERVICES" and save the changes.
7. Copy this file to zip folder with app.
8. Change it back to a *.xap extension and now we can deploy him.
Enjoy
EDIT
SORRRY APP LAUNCH BUT NOT WORKING. I LOOKING FOR NEXT METHOD.

it is not possible. Interop is what is required to make the app work. So without it you can install it but it wont work hence there is no way to do what you want currently

Relatedly, this fact has been known for... ever since the Mago betas came out, I think? So, probably about half the lifetime of the OS. I guess when things are that old, it's easier to "discover" stuff that doesn't work than read the old threads.
Your phone is interop-locked. You can only install or run apps without ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, unless those apps come from the Marketplace. As a general rule, if an app requests ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES (or other capabilities), that's because it's using it for something...

Followed the method to insall Advanced Config. Now how can I uninstall it? Since I have 3 unsigned app limit, so I cant afford to waste a slot on an app that highly desirable but not useful.

You can try to install ORIGINAL Advanced Config Tool file - you get error but uninstall actual version from the system.

[Q] Problems in Deodex Using ROM Kitchen

I found details here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30946303
But many many things are unanswered
Requisites:
1. XUltimate or any other similar tool which can pull all the Apk's and Framework's from the phone.
2. Rom Kitchen (Link On OP)
3. Zip utilities.
4. Deodex Empty Shell zip. (Deodex_Cwm_Shell .zip - 236 KB)
5. Windows (Cygwin) or Linux ( I won't go into technicalities)
How:
1. Pull all the Apk's and Framwork's along with the .odex files.
2. Rename the folder with the Apk's as "app"
3. Rename the folder with the Framework's as "framework"
4. Create a folder called Deodex_Cwm. (You can choose your name).
5. Inside the Deodex_Cwm folder, create another folder called system.
6. Copy the app and framework folder with the apk's and framework's into system.
7. In the case of ION, I found that there is a file "playstationcertified.odex", rename it to "com.playstation.playstationcertified.odex".
7. Zip the Deodex_Cwm folder.
8. Copy this zip into "original_update" folder inside Rom_Kitchen folder.
9. Run the menu script.
10. From menu select "0 - ADVANCED OPTIONS", then select "24 - Miscellaneous options / Plugin scripts".
11. Now select "(4) Batch_Deodex"
12. Press Enter to continue.
13. Press Enter Again to continue.
14. Press Enter Again to continue.
15. Press Enter Again to continue.
16. Now the Deodexing process will start. It will show a message when the process ends.
17. Rom_Kitchen creates a WORKING_mmddyy_hhmmss folder for processing the files.
18. Once the processing is done, the files are moved to batch_mmddyy_hhmmss.
19. Open the Deodex Empty Shell zip (do not extract). drag and drop the app and framework folders from the batch_mmddyy_hhmmss into the system folder inside the opened zip.
20. You also change the Text inside the updater script in the folder "META-INF/com/google/android" inside the open zip. Use notepad++ under windows, under linux you can use any editor.
21. Now close the zip and copy it to the external sd card in the phone and flash it using CWM Recovery.

Rom Kitchen Requires Linux. So either use Linux as OS or install Cygwin under Windows. How to use Linux/Cygwin is beyond the scope of the tutorial.
in how to. 9. Run the menu script.
What is Menu script ? there is no menu script in Rom_Kitchen folder, it is just a file with name menu ( without extension)
to run menu, type the following in command prompt.
chmod +x menu (required only once to make menu executable script)
./menu

[WIP][4.4.4] Emulated Android ROOT and unlock

I am not responsable of any damage in your phone​Hi i have create this aow.wim images with ROOT bin and uncheked not to used BT and GSM in android apps but I cant copy it so system32/aow.wim
Can someone test it and put how to copy the image to pohne and most important if it works and if it is rooted you need to install SuperSU or others apps but bins are there...
Install route WINDOWS/System32/aow
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n68tle0kzd29b3e/aow.wim
For now i am tired of thinking i will try next day if i got time for it to copy to phone and try iif it works

This most likely won't work. The aow.wim on the system has extra headers that have Android-specific metadata attached to it. I see that you most likely just copied the contents out of it and then created a NEW wim, as it's impossible to commit changes to the aow.wim that comes with the update due to it complaining about WIMBoot.

I not 100% sure if i'm correct in saying this but I don't think there is actually any method of putting the new aow.wim into the AOW folder, as using MTP or the built in file explorer either returns Permission error on unknown error respectively and @snickler has found that you cannot write to that directory using his SFTP method.
Plus @ADeltaX has managed to get root 2/3 working but project astoria doesnt allow two apps to overlay each so you cannot grant root access as there is no superSU pop-up. So he is working on modding superSU.

Just turn off "Protection against false touches" or smth like that in SuperSU (Settings)

How to install Xposed Framework on the Huawei GX8/G8.

I was curious to know to how xposed framework can be installed on the Huawei GX8 so I went through different sites to find at least an easy way to do that but honestly i didn't find any easy steps. They are more or less complicated depending on the individual attempting the procedure. ok
It is advised to take complete backup before deodexing so that you can replace the deodexed apps with the odexed backups in case you face some Apps crashing. Deodexing is important in order to make xposed framework install successfully and use some modules as well.
Warning: You attempt this procedure at your own risk, bare in mind that I will not be held responsible if you brick your device for attempting this procedure.
Prerequisites:
Rooted device.
Fully functional TWRP recovery or any other recovery with File manager support.
Backup all your data & apps.
Download this APP for deodexing:https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BwSanb5zBfFiaHN5MGV2ZnFqcVU&export=download
Deodexing the ROM:
Step 1: Extract the BatchAPKTool to your preferred location.
Step 2: Open BatchAPKTool.exe. Set Language to English when prompted.
Step 3: The tool will now ask you to chose task.
Step 4: Type 83 and set smali version to smali-2.1.2.jar by entering 2. Now type 84 and set Android API level to 21 (Android 5.0), 22 (Android 5.1.1) or 23 (Android 6.0). This value must match with the firmware you have currently installed on your device.
Step 5: Now connect your device to PC. Make sure USB Debugging Mode is enabled and necessary Huawei Drivers are installed.
Step 6: In BatchAPKTool window, type 13 and then enter 4. This will pull all files from /system/app , /system/framework , /system/priv-app from your device. This may take some time so wait patiently. (You might also do it manually using Root Explorer)
Step 7: Once it’s done press Enter to return to main BatchAPKTool Menu.
Step 8: We’ll now deodex the apps. Enter 01 in the tool. It will now ask you for your ARM version. Enter “arm” and press Enter. Wait for the process to be completed.
Step 9: In the directory where you have extracted BatchAPKTool, you’ll find three folders named _priv-app, _app and _framework. Remove the underscore from the folder names so that they are now priv-app, app and framework respectively.
Step 10: Create a new SYSTEM FOLDER and name it DEODEXED SYSTEM and copy those three folders inside it. Now copy the System folder to your SD card or Internal Memory.
Replacing Odexed Apps with Deodexed Apps:
1: Boot your device into recovery and backup System partition
2: Using the built in file manager in recovery, delete the app, framework and priv-app folders from your system partition.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure that in twrp in the "Mount" section the "Only mount system read-only" is unchecked in order to copy the files to system.
3: Now copy the app, framework and priv-app folders from system folder (which we copied to SD card or Internal) and paste them to the SYSTEM partition i.e. /system/
4: When done, reboot your device. First boot will be extremely long. Might take 20-30 minutes so be patient.
ALTERNATE METHOD:
NOTE: It may not be possible to copy files from one folder to another in recovery mode, so this is what i did...
1. Create a NEW FOLDER in your internal memory and name it ORIGINAL SYSTEM.
2. Copy PRIV-APP, APP and FRAMEWORK from the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER and paste it in the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER in the memory of your device.
3. Now copy the THREE files in the DEODEXED SYSTEM FOLDER to the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER in the root of your device.
4. Your device will reboot immediately the files are copied. The boot may take 20-30 minutes so be PATIENT..
Installing Xposed Framework.
1. Go to the official thread and download the latest version(xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64) for Marshmallow
2. Download the apk and the uninstaller arm zip just in case anything goes sideways you can flash the uninstaller to unistall xposed framework.
3. Install the apk file and flash the v80-sdk23-arm zip in recovery. Again device might take 20-30 minutes to boot.
4. For Android 6.0:
Open build.prop
add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
For Android 5.0-5.1.1:
Open local.prop (in system/emui/base/prop/local.prop)
add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
The commands is to ACTIVATE the framework.

How To Guide How to extract image collection from rom releases (and root the boot image and apply root to the phone)

1. To extract the image collection from your downloaded rom :
Download Payload Dumper from here (It's a zip file but it's not flashable) to your computer
Extract the zip file to a folder, make it a folder you can use regularly because this is the default tool you would use from now on
Download the rom version you want to root
Unzip the rom to a folder, you will find a file within it called payload.bin
Copy and paste that file into the "payload_input" folder within the Payload Dumper folder you created
Execute the payload_dumper.exe file within Payload Dumper folder, you will not have to specify any options as it always extracts from any payload.bin file in payload_input and outputs the image files to payload_output.
Leave the extraction to be completed, the program will automatically close itself once it's completed
Your extracted .img files will be shown within the payload_output folder
2. If you need to root the boot image you extracted :
Copy the boot.img file from the payload_output folder to a folder on your phone storage (Best to name it appropriately if you will be doing this regularly)
Download and Install the latest Magisk apk from the release site (Accept any prompt to allow install from external source)
Launch the app and then choose Install under the top "Magisk" section
Choose Select and Patch a File then browse to where you copied the boot.img on your storage
Magisk will then apply root to the boot image you specified, Your rooted image file will be output to your phone's Download folder : /sdcard/Download
You don't need to keep the default filename of the rooted image file so you can rename it appropriately for the rom version after you copy it to your computer, just ensure to keep the .img file extension
If you rename the rooted boot image, try not to use spaces in the filename, rather use _ or - as spaces make it more difficult to use in a command window although when you start typing the filename you can use TAB to autocomplete it, always ensure the filename shows .img as the extension and at the end of any commandline
3. If you need to use your rooted boot image to apply root to your phone :
Install the drivers from the mounted drive you should get when connecting the phone to your computer
On Windows you should then have a folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers\Android with the platform tools (ADB.exe and Fastboot.exe) you will need, you can obviously copy the content from that folder somewhere else if you wish.
Connect your phone to your computer
Copy your rooted boot image to the folder that has adb.exe and fastboot.exe
Open a command window on your computer by right clicking in that folder and choosing Open command window here
In the command window, Type or copy/paste the command ADB devices and press enter
If you see a prompt on your phone to allow the computer connection then accept it, better still, tell it to allow from now on also.
You should see a string of characters shown in the command window, if you don't see that, then try another cable or re-install your drivers and reboot the computer.
Reboot your phone into Fastboot either by using ADB on your computer ( ADB Reboot Fastboot ) or by enabling Advanced reboot in your developer options in settings and then hold down the power button and use the 3 dot menu on the top right and choosing "Bootloader"
In the command window type Fastboot Boot <filename.img> i.e. Fastboot Boot rooted_boot.img and press enter
You should see a couple of lines in the command window telling you it's copying over to the phone, don't worry it's not being flashed or replacing your existing installed boot image
The phone should then restart and boot using the image from your computer, it will be a slightly slower boot than usual, your existing unlock method should still work
Launch the Magisk app, it should already have root access because the boot image you've used is already rooted
Go to Install under the top Magisk section
Choose Direct Install (Recommended)
Magisk will then apply root access to the boot image on the actual phone
You will be prompted to reboot the phone on the bottom right, do this to complete the process
You don't need the phone connected to your computer anymore as the installed boot image on the phone should now have root access
You can check for root either using any app which requires root or by using an app like Root Checker
Remember to empty the contents of payload_input and payload_output once you have finished, leaving them ready for any future rom versions
4. To retain root access after ROM/OTA update :
Install the update either from Oxygen Updater or from Settings > System > System updates
DO NOT REBOOT when prompted
Go to the Magisk app
Go to Install under the top Magisk section
Choose Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
Magisk will apply root to the newly installed boot image for the next version
Reboot when prompted by the Magisk app
The phone should reboot into the updated version with root already applied

Very nice write up! Hopefully many will read this and follow instructions. Too many threads being created with issues because they never bother to read.

Quick question as this is my first OnePlus device.
Will I lose root after a system update and will have to it all over again?

No, definitely not.
Try Oxygen Updater in advanced mode, it should let you download the full rom.
If you were already rooted though, you should've been able to retain it by following the last section in my original post.

In the oxygen updater app, if I select "full update" in update method it only gives me version 11.2.2.2., if I select "incremental update", it lets me download 11.2.4.4, and when I unzipped it I have a file payload.bin (it's only 105MB).
Should I use that? Or do I need a full OTA package to extract the boot IMG?

Are you choosing the correct OnePlus 9 Pro? It'll show you different variants under the model lookup.
To be honest, If I get the update pushed via OnePlus I always copy/paste it somewhere else cos I think it gets deleted once the upgrade is done.
If you extract the payload.bin and it shows a boot.img then that should suffice. I think it should be around 105MB (I'm on my work PC at the moment so can't check)

Thanks. I'm on the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 9 Pro, technically my phone is currently on "11.2.2.2.LE5ACB" and the one on OnePlus's support site is "11.2.2.2.LE15AA". I'm not sure the difference but I assume T-Mobile bloatware. Hopefully they didn't do anything else to make the phone work "slightly better" on their network.
I'm not sure if the boot.img I extracted from 11.2.2.2.LE15AA will work with my currently-installed "11.2.2.2.LE5ACB"; any ideas?
Might be better to create a boot.img from my existing version and patch that. Do you know the dd command for me to just create the boot.img from my existing partition? In the past with other phones I've done something like "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/boot.img bs=4096 count=4096 skip=7552" or "dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=boot.img" but I don't know which partition on the OnePlus 9 Pro to image. Any ideas?

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 1970-01-20 02:38 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vm-bootsys_b -> /dev/block/sde51
Then looking at my active mounts I saw this:
Code:

/dev/block/sde51 on /vendor/vm-system type ext4 (ro,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
Which indicates that I'm on the "b" side. So I would want to create a boot.img from `/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor_boot_b` potentially. So this command "should" work, right?
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor_boot_b of=/sdcard/Download/stock_boot.img
I might try that instead of the boot.img I extracted from 11.2.2.2.LE5ACB since it doesn't technically line up with the T-Mobile supplied ROM version.

Yeah, that didn't work.Turns out dd needs to be elevated to do its thing. Got a "Permission denied" when i tried to create the image. So yeah, ironically I need root to run said command and that's why I was trying to run the command, to get the boot.img to root. lol. oh well.

Thank you very detailed.

When I click on the payload_pumper.exe file, the cmd window flashes and nothing else happens.
