[Q] Will this work for our WF?

Found this thread on the HTC Hero section for it's open GL will this work for our wildfire?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899801

Yea I flashed it, noticed an improvement in playing angry birds...i think.

Yeah

Yes it works with just about every ROM, but, in my view, I can't see any benefit. (I dont play Angry Birds, and, the rest of the games and LWP's don't show any benefit).

How do you do this?
Just flash it like a rom?

Well, that's what I initially did. Flash the ZIP in Post #49 in that thread. But, on reading that complete thread, I guess you have to edit the build.prop file in /system (Using Root Explorer / ADB Push Pull).
However, this is where I cant get it to work. WHenever I add the 2 lines in Root Explorer and Save Changes, the phone reboots. If I use ADB, even after pushing, when I check the same file using build.prop, no changes are visible, (The opengles.version automatically reverts back to 65536 and the line which enabled hardware acceleration of the UI is gone) and, ASI only shows OpenGL 1.0 due to this
Well, I have no idea what I am doing wrong, will try it out again and see..

I'm a newb with this.
Could someone possibly make a bit more explained guide?

Very basic guide:
* Get Root Explorer or any other file manager that can show the root folders
* Open Root Explorer, change permissions on top to R/W (Be very careful after that. Dont delete anything!)
* Locate the file build.prop under /system
* Long Press the file, Select Edit with Text Editor
* Updated: (ADB Commands Copy - Pasted from another post by kevin2516. Thanks mate )
*Make sure ADB is installed on your system and it is working. There are many guides available to install ADB, so I wont be going into that.
*Start Command Prompt (cmd), Browse to your "Tools" folder into your SDK
*Use the ADB Pull Command adb pull /system/build.prop
*This will now be saved to your tools folder. Edit is using Wordpad / Notepad++ (Not Notepad) as follows:
*Locate a line which starts with dalvik. (The first one, there are 3 of them)
Add the following 2 lines before that:
debug.sf.hw=1
ro.opengles.version=65537
* Save it.
* Push it back to System using the ADB Push Command: adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
* Reboot ADB using the adb reboot command
* Then, grab the Flashable Zip in that thread from Post #48
* Flash it as normal
Done.
Check whether it is implemented or not by going to Android System Info > System Tab > OpenGL. Here, there are 2 OpenGL versions. The first line should say 1.1, and the second should say OpenGL 1.0 ES.

With S-On you cannot change the systemfile directly I think. Thats the reason why your system not keep the change. I have write by myself a little install zip and flash it with nandroid and it works. the zip only works with wildpuzzlerom v0.8 and you can find in the thread for wpr0.8.

Well, I took your flashable ZIP, removed the build.prop it contained, and replaced it with the build.prop of CM7 Nightly 2. Then, I tried flashing it, still no change.
Now, I have no idea whether I am 'allowed' to change flashable ZIP's like that or not, but, from what it is looking like, I am still unable to get this working on CM7NB2. I'll probably try making a flashable ZIP from scratch later as I get time.

If it's simple enough, it would be nice if you could tell how to do a flashable zip (or yourself make a one suitable for CM6/7 ). I just want to test these libraries on CM7, any help is appreciated
Don't expect nothing special, I'm not a dev!

Where can i find FLashable zip? I don't understand where is post #48
Even if i find, i have read, that it's not working? Or working?

You can find the OpenGLES 1.1 Flashable ZIP in Post #48 of this thread:

I have updated my post since Root Explorer method doesnt work (No S-OFF).

You wrote : last edit: I didn't notice any difference, much like the test ran above. I'm going to revert until more knowledgeable people look at this.
if it is like you saying, then i dont have point to that **** too.
i think devs who makes this rom should instal in rom everything what can increase perfomance. so im waiting for the rom with all those things instaled.
will it happen someday?:/

Which is exactly what I said in the CM7 thread. No one here has till date, found verifiable gains, with using OpenGL on the Wildfire. Everyone reports the same thing, that there is no or absolutely negligible (Which I think is just a mind thing) change in gaming / intensive applications performance.
If you are looking for ROM's wit inbuilt OpenGLES Support, WildPuzzle has a flashable ZIP, and DS and DK Roms provides it inbuilt in its latest version. For the others, the manual method has to be followed.

[ROM][KANG] CherryKANG 0.9.4 1512max 384min [CM9] synced [11/04] Now supports goo.im!

Hi guys..
I just want to say thanks to the cm team for bringing ics to our touchpads. None of the work in this rom is my own.. I have just used the great tutorials and stuff I've picked up before to compile this. All credit to everyone who put work into this!
This rom includes cherry-picks from http://review.cyanogenmod.com such as the fixes below
A wifi fix -- review.cyanogenmod.com (Although some people are reporting wifi issues still. I recommend a full wipe)
I have also compiled my own kernel into this.. which I set the default CPU speed to 1.5ghz and the default governor to ondemand. I also added HAVS support. Although I don't know if we really need it on a tab. Maybe it will help slightly with battery life?
These are settings that I like and normally run. So don't flame me!
I am looking for pointers too.. for what to do next. I would like to add the webOS style recent apps mod next. Also ROMControl would be nice from here .. some pointers on how to include would be helpful. Any help greatly appreciated
So.. please remember.. I made this for myself... to teach me something.. someone just said I should post it!All credit goes to the people that contribute to cyanogenmod.
Cheers and enjoy

REMEMBER ... This is now 120 dpi. You will either need to download LCD Density Pro from the market, or see below for a free alternative!
Posted by Hockey4life0099 thanks!
or you can use the free version (or dpi changer) to modify the dpi back to 160
---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------
I wrote this. It looks more complicated than it is cause i broke it down step by step. Ignore my cracked out numbering scheme, i didnt feel like shifting all the numbers down when i added more info.
1. If you dont already have it, download es file explorer
1b. go to the application settings and clear the data for the market
1c. download dpi changer and change dpi to 135(dont reboot yet)
2. go into the options on there and check the root explorer option and the mount option
3. download to TP
http://www.sundergaming.com/downloads/tabletmarketdpiunlocked.apk
4. rename the file Vending.apk
5. long press to copy the file (in ES file explorer)
6. click the star in top right corner (favorites)
7. Choose the phone (/)
8. navigate to system/app
9. paste the app
10. find the app in there called marketupdater.apk or something similar and rename it marketupdater.apk.bak
11. reboot
12. see if you can download an app like flash player. If you cant go to next step
12b. get back to system/app and click the Vending.apk and let it install.
You can mess around with the dpi if you want, but also remember that if the text is small, you can change the default text size in the settings.
The issue i encountered with this method is sometimes the fix stops working, but all you need to do to get the apps to download once again is clear your market data in the application settings. It is obviously much easier to download the app mentioned in the op, but this is for the cheapskates. your only other option is download dpi changer and just switch the dpi back to 160. That is painless but you loose out on some app compatibility and some screen real estate. I myself change the dpi to 138 and change the font size to large. Everything seems to be perfect. Best balance out there IMO.

Do not install CM9 over CM7. Some have gotten away with it and others like yourself run into trouble. Do a clean install, that means running ACMEUninstaller. Here are some instructions I created just for an occasion such as this:
Since the release of CM9, it has become abundantly clear to me that one
needs to do a clean install of the rom to avoid all the little
nagging issues that so many folks are reporting. Whether you are
installing for the first time, upgrading from CM7 or installing
an update of CM9, one really needs to do a clean install.
Since the advent of the official CM9 nightlies, installing
the rom and the Gapps files via CWM seems to be much more
reliable. You still need to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache
before you reboot after installing any rom. If you run into
trouble after an install via CWM, then read on.
Those who know how to do it otherwise and are comfortable with that
feel free to deviate from this document.
For first time installers, you can skip this part. First thing
you need to do is a nandroid backup of your current install and
copy it over to your PC for safe keeping. Next you should backup
your apps using either Titanium Backup or My Backup Root. This will
allow you to restore all your apps after you are done with this
update. If the install goes South, you can always restore your
nandroid backup.
For the first time installers, if you have not already prepared
your PC for this project, you need to download the following:
1. ACMEInstaller2
2. ACMEUninstaller
3. Moboot 0.3.5.zip
4. ClockworkMod.zip(CWM)
5. update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha2-fullofbugs.zip
6. UniversalNovacomInstaller.jar
7. The latest Gapps.zip
The ACME files, Moboot, CWM and the Alpha2.zip can all be found
on the OP for Alpha2 at:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18843-releasealpha2-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/
The universal novacom installer and Gapps files can be found by doing a Google
search on the names above and you will find the download page. I found
the novacom installer here:
http://universal-novacom-installer.googlecode.com/files/UniversalNovacomInstaller.jar
You should download the latest Gapps.zip which
the last time I checked at the link below was 20120317:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
First thing, open the run box on your PC and browse to the novacomInstaller
file. This is a Java executable, so treat it just like any .exe file.
However, since it does not end in .exe, when you browse to find it,
you will have to tell the browser to show "All Files." Once it is in
the run box, click on OK and the Novacomd drivers will be installed,
the Palm,inc folder will be created and the novacom.exe will be placed
in that folder. Next if the ACME files you downloaded are zips, unzip
them both into the Palm, Inc folder which you will find in the Program
files folder. If not zipped, copy both into the Palm, Inc folder. Now
your PC is prepared for installing CM9, so everything applies to first
installers and upgraders from this point forward.
First timers boot into WebOS, upgraders can do the same or boot into
your current install of Android. Connect your TouchPad to your PC
with the usb cable and open Windows Explorer on your PC. You should
see either the TouchPad as a drive, or cm_tenderloin if you are already
running a version of CM9. If you have not already created a cminstall
folder on your TouchPad do so now. Also create a folder named ICS
Install.
Next you need to copy Moboot 0.3.5 and ClockworkMod(CWM) into the
cminstall folder on your TouchPad. Now copy the rom.zip and the
Gapps.zip file into the folder you created named ICS Install. It's up
to you which rom and Gapps file you use if you are installing something
different from what is listed above. If you are copying files to the
Touchpad drive, you now need to right click the drive letter and eject
the drive when you are done. If you are copying files to cm_tenderloin,
you can just close Windows Explorer and both of you disconnect the usb cable.
Upgraders, now you need to run ACMEUninstaller and when it is done, your
TouchPad will reboot back into WebOS. Now both of you need to reboot while
holding down up volume to put the TouchPad into WebOS recovery or bootie
mode. You will know you succeeded if you see a large white usb symbol.
Now plug the usb cable back in and you should hear the PC beep indicating
the TouchPad is connected. You will not be able to see the TouchPad in
Windows Explorer, so don't try. On your PC click "RUN" and type in CMD.
This opens the command window. First timers type in the following in the
command window:
cd/ and press enter. You will see C:\
Now type cd program files and press enter. You will see C:\program files
Now type cd Palm, Inc and press enter. You will see C:\ program files\Palm, Inc
Upgraders, your novacom.exe may be in a different folder, so go browse to that folder.
Both of you enter novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2 in the command window and
hit enter. After a few seconds, you should see what is fondly called the "Double Penguin" on
the Touchpad. When the install is done, the TouchPad will boot to Moboot. Tap
the volume on the TouchPad to stop the 5 second countdown if you see one. Now
select CWM using the Home button, then Install zip file from SD card and use the
volume rocker to move down to the ICS Install folder. Select that and move to the
Alpha2.zip and select that. Start the install. When it is done, use the go back
selection to go back to the main CWM screen and select reboot.
Once Android is booted up(be patient, it takes a couple of minutes the first time),
play around with the browser, set up wifi, just to make sure your install was
successful. Now reboot back to CWM and do the same procedure to install the Gapps.zip
you copied to the ICS Install folder earlier. You're done with a clean install.
Upgraders, you know what to do, first timers, I hope you have friend around to show
you the ropes or you own an Android phone and already know the ropes. Good Luck!
P.S. I strongly suggest you make a nandroid backup of your new installation right now.
First timers, one makes a nandroid backup using CWM. Boot to CWM, select "Backup and
Restore" and select "Backup".

If we have CM7 installed do we do a factory reset/wipe of the caches and then install the zip directly?

For those wanting to just root, here's some help

This is for those on ICS only. If you have upgraded to jellybean, this will not work.
There have been other posts, and this one is nothing new, in fact it's a remake of DebugfsRoot so that author gets all credit. I just made a couple of tweaks to help those that might be having a fuss with it. First, this is assuming you are using a windows PC. I don't work on MACs. Next, make sure you have ADB working properly on your PC. To do this:
Go to your start menu and open a command prompt, usually by typing "cmd" in the run blank.
Type adb
If you don't get a whole heap of feedback of how to use adb returned to you, and instead get an error, you don't have it set right. If you're sure you installed the development kit and you have ADB on your PC, do the following:
FIND IT... and add it to your system path variable. adb.exe comes with the root extract, so if you don't have the kit installed, you can use that instead, but seriously, if you want to root and enjoy this hobby to its fullest, install the android kit. The most common location is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" - but hey, get this, did you know the asus sync software available from their site also includes it? I just now found that out haha...
To add whichever absolute path to your system path variable, start menu > control panel > system > advanced system settings > environment variables button > In the system variables window, scroll down to path, click it, click EDIT > move your cursor to the very end and add ; again that's (semi-colon) - you'll see other entries there which show you, just follow the pattern. Remember, you only need to do this if your original attempt at typing adb didn't work. Save your settings, return to that command window, and try adb again, you should have better results this time.
Now then, download the root package here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33560221/DebugfsRoot_v1.8.exe
This is the original software with slight enhancements by me...those enhancements are all to the BAT file, and are as follows:
The EXE file is a self-extracting archive which will extract the contents to C:\tabletroot Please don't change this install location. You'll see why in a moment. the RootDebugfs.bat was edited as follows:
Within each push command, I preceeded the file name with C:\tabletroot so it knows exactly where to find what it needs. I found if you just pushed without it, it didn't like it too much.
Last, after each "wait-for-device" command, I added TIMEOUT 120 This forces the batch file to sleep for 2 minutes allowing plenty of time for your tablet to reboot. I found if you didn't do this, it would try to do the next commands way too soon causing failure. This should give enough time for you to get to your desktop before the next command is issued. If you find it's too long and you're ready to go, just press a key and that will kill the clock. If not long enough, edit the batch file with any text editor, and increase the timeout time.
All other files are what was originally found. I didn't update any of the apks or edit any other file than the main batch file. That's it. I used these exact files to root my tf300t on firmware version .30 with no issue of any kind. I hope this helps someone. If you run into trouble, not sure how much help I can be. I'm simply posting exactly what I did. I didn't author anything other than the edits mentioned above. Good luck.

Did the your_path thing and it didn't work.

Could you describe just a bit more which part you're having trouble with and what happened?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

I added ;<your_path> at the end of the path and it did not change anything in the CMD window after imputing adb, when nothing happened before.
I'm sure it's something that I did not do that went wrong.

The your path thing was just a descriptor. You need to replace that with the location of your adb.exe file so it would look like ;c:\program files\ ... and so on. I gave a sample path of where mine is but it could vary between systems.

Where do you DL the adb file from?

Couple Choices

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK, I will assume you do not have the android development kit installed, so you still have a couple of choices here:
ADB comes with the archive I directed you to download, so if you download it and run the EXE, you'll find ADB inside the newly created folder I mentioned, so using this method, you would add... ;C:\tabletroot
ADB also comes with the ASUS sync software found on the ASUS website. If you have / will download and install this software, the ADB file will be located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Sync or it might be in C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync just depends on the type of system you have. I have a 64-bit OS, so I have a Program Files and a Program Files (x86) folder (the x86 is for 32-bit programs) - in this situation, you would want to add ;C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Sync or ;C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync
Remember if you go with option one, download the archive I provided and run it before you add / test to your path variable, because that's what puts ADB in place. Once you have that all done, just go run the BAT file - after you connect your tablet and can see it on your PC as a media device that is

Clarification
So using this method do we need the blob files or was that just for downgrading, and since we don't need to downgrade using this method, everything that we need is in that self extracting exe file? I'm not interested to unlock bootloader -for now-...just want a few tweaks and to install a few root apps
Sorry, I only have experience rooting a couple HTC devices and they were both 1 touch and rooted.

I hear you, and they are legit questions. This is for rooting only. This procedure doesn't unlock your bootloader, which is why i used it. All you need is in the archive.

Another question, do you have to put the tablet into any special mode in order for the batch file to work? If I remember correctly, the phones just had to be on, plugged in via usb (duh) and the batch files did the rest. The batch file has the 120 second pause, but it seems like it does the first part with -
1. waiting for device to be detected
2. daemon not started
3. daemon started successfully
then it just sits there, and its been longer than 2 minutes...what am I missing?

Only mode i know of is to put it in media mode mentioned above. Also I've read to turn off asus sync found in the sync section of settings.

Either unknown sources, or USB debugging might need to be on.

Ah yes forgot those. I'd do both thankya.

FYI the batch file does not work with windows xp, I searched and seems timeout is not supported. Sucks having an old OS..

[GUIDE] Remove Blocking Mode notification (root/deodexed Samsung ROM required)

First off, this is my very FIRST publically posted Android mod, and my second one ever - I made the first one earlier today. In other words, I'm new and may make mistakes.
These steps work for me, though!
Exactly what this guide does:
When you enable "Blocking mode" in the Samsung JB ROMs, an "ongoing" (and thus unremovable) notification is shown AT ALL TIMES, even if Blocking mode is only active for a certain time period (at night in my case).
This mod will entirely remove that notification. It will not show up even when blocking mode IS in fact blocking calls etc.
IMO the ideal behavior would be to show it during the time it's active, but that would be a much harder mod to make, as you'd need to add new (byte)code.
Now, with that out of the way...
Requirements:
* DEODEXED AND ROOTED Samsung Jelly Bean ROM (I use WanamLite XXDLIH v3.9, google it - I can't post the link)
* 7-zip (google it)
* Galaxy S III - not sure if other models than the i9300 will work, my guess is that they will. I can't test on other phones than my own, though, so you're on your own in that case! Also no idea if Note models will work, I've never used one.
* A Windows computer - unless the tools are available for other platforms.
* Java -- if you can do Start -> Run -> "java" -> OK without an error, you should be fine.
* A bit of patience
As always, this is on your own risk!
Steps to hack:
0) BACK UP YOUR PHONE! My suggestion would be to take a nandroid backup before getting started.
1) Get an apktool that works with JB APKs.
Here's the one I use (assemble the link): mediafire . com / ?ufzdylekbkloffy
(Sorry for doing that, but surely posting guides constitutes making helpful contributions? )
The ZIP contains two apktool versions, one for decoding and one for building.
Thing is, I'm not 100% sure on where I got the apktool JARs. I think one of them is the unmodified 1.4.2 JAR, and one is modified to work with ICS (and newer) APKs.
I couldn't get EITHER of them to both decode AND build, so I made two separate batch scripts.
I do promise that the thing's safe, but if you don't trust me, you can find them elsewhere - I'm just not sure exactly where. I found them by trial and error.
2) Unpack the tools to a directory, e.g. "apktool" on your desktop. (If you want to follow this guide to the letter, you need to use that folder too.)
3) Start a command prompt - Start -> Run -> enter "cmd" -> click OK
4) Connect your phone via USB, and make sure USB debugging is enabled on it (under Settings -> Developer Options)
5) Enter the following commands, exactly as specified, in order of course:
Code:
cd Desktop\apktool
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
java -jar apktool-BUILD.jar if framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SecSettings.apk
apktool-d SecSettings.apk SecSettings-mod
You should now have a "SecSettings-mod" directory (under Desktop\apktool) with the contents of the APK.
6) Browse to SecSettings-mod\smali\com\android\settings\dormantmode, right-click "DormantModeNotiReceiver.smali" and Open With... -> Notepad (or right-click and "Edit", if that choice exists)
7) Click the Edit menu -> Find..., and search for "notificationCreate" (no quotes). The first hit should be ".method public notificationCreate [... etc]"; click Find Next.
The next hit should be something like
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/dormantmode/DormantModeNotiReceiver;->notificationCreate(Landroid/content/Context;)V
8) Comment that line out by adding a # as the very first character, so you end up with
Code:
# invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/dormantmode/DormantModeNotiReceiver;->notificationCreate(Landroid/content/Context;)V
9) A few lines down (10 or so), there's another invoke-virtual, for notificationClear. Comment this out as well, aagin by adding a # as the first character on the line.
When you're done, save and exit.
10) OK, we're getting there. Time to rebuild the modded APK.
Go back to the command prompt (or start a new one, see above).
Run this command:
Code:
apktool-b SecSettings-mod SecSettings-new.apk
This may take a LONG while, it takes a bit over 11 minutes for me (nearly all of it to build resources). Be patient!
When it's completed, open up both the ORIGINAL .apk and the modded one in separate 7-zip windows. Delete "AndroidManifest.xml" from the modified apk, then select and copy "META-INF" and "AndroidManifest.xml" from the original to the modified APK. Exit 7-zip.
11) Time to get the modded file over to your phone! Run these commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SecSettings-new.apk /system/app
adb shell
12) You should now have the file on your phone, and have an adb shell open. Almost there!
If you're not root (i.e. if the command line ends with $ rather than #), run "su".
Then:
Code:
cd /system/app
mv SecSettings.apk SecSettings.apk.OLD
mv SecSettings-new.apk SecSettings.apk
... and you're finally DONE, if all went well.
"exit" the adb shell, and reboot your phone. When it boots up, the notification should be gone, but blocking mode still works.
Let me know if you have problems, and we'll see if I'm qualified to help solve them.
Before
After
(I would show that blocking mode is active, but the toggle was offscreen in the "before" shot, and I don't want to revert to snap a new one!)
I've also modded away the brightness bar + rearranged the quick-setting icons via this guide - the steps are essentially the same as this guide, except you edit SystemUI.apk and change different files (two XML files instead of the .smali).
To get rid of the brightness bar, follow that guide but also look in values/bools.xml where you can change a brightness value and auto-brightness-button to false. (Change both!)

Hmm, I'm not sure whether simply using the finished SecSettings.apk is a good idea or not. If a ROM has changed it, those changes would be lost.
The alternative might be to have all this done by a script on the phone (in CWM), but I'm not sure whether that's possible or not. Anyone?

Here's a CW Zip. I've built this based on the XXDLIH build one.
The script will backup the original file to /system/app/SecSettings.apk.orig so worse case scenario you just need to rename it using a root explorer (any will do).
Let me know, however like anything you flash with CWM, make a backup FIRST and I'm not to be held responsible for your phone becoming Self Aware or owt.
Also, The guide at the top is basically right, however there's a lot of steps missing, I'll knock something up if anyone wants it to fill in the gaps (setting up the environment for a start etc).
However this 'should' work on all XXDLIH builds (but AFAICT should work on XXDLIB as well)
Here's the link to the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/kov1bdluu0pt8x8/Blocking_Mode_Icon_Remover.zip

You need to pull the various frameworks from the device, and put them in the right place. This is all documented elsewhere on the site, but for quickness sake, here's a down and dirty.
Download the 7Z Below (latest versions of aapt etc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792937), unpack them somewhere. Make sure Jave JRE is installed.
To pull from device, plug the Phone in then
Goto unpack folder
Let's get the frameworks from the device, so plugin the device, and ADB Devices and make sure you get a deviceID back.
pull_framework.bat
pull_twframework.bat
Now get the frameworks installed
set_framework-res.bat
set_twframework.res.bat
Let's get the APK we want to work with, so....
adb pull /system/app/SecSettings.apk .\apk\SecSettings.apk
OK, file in the right place, so let's get it unpacked to work with.
apktool d apk\SecSettings.apk working\SecSettings
That will take a few minutes, as it's got to sort out the framework dependencies etc, so give it a second or two. It should then look a little like the following
I: Baksmaling...
testI: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...
I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\YourUserName\apktool\framework\1.apk
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values */* XMLs...
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...
Now lets edit the smali for the fix (thanks to exscape for this, so click his thanks button)
notepad .\working\SecSettings\smali\com\android\settings\dormantmode\DormantModeNotiReceiver.smali
<CTRL>-F notificationCreate
Find Next one
change invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/dormantmode/DormantModeNotiReceiver;->notificationCreate(Landroid/content/ContextV
to
#invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/dormantmode/DormantModeNotiReceiver;->notificationCreate(Landroid/content/ContextV
and a bit further down
change invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/dormantmode/DormantModeNotiReceiver;->notificationClear(Landroid/content/ContextV
to
#invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/dormantmode/DormantModeNotiReceiver;->notificationClear(Landroid/content/ContextV
OK, edit done, save and back to the command prompt
start .\apk
Open the APK in 7-Zip/WinRar/Whatnot
Select the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder, and extract them to the working folder
We have all our bits, so let's put it back together in a usable APK
First we need to create an unsigned build (without the real manifest and META-INF)
apktool b working\SecSettings built\SecSettings-Unsigned.apk
This will take a while to run, as it's compiling everything it needs, should look a bit like this
: Checking whether sources has changed...
I: Smaling...
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...
Right, now we need a signed version, so copy the manifest XML and META-INF folders to \build\apk in the SecSettings folder.
move .\working\AndroidManifest.xml .\working\SecSettings\build\apk
move .\working\META-INF .\working\SecSettings\build\apk
Let's now compile the nice signed version, this will take moments, as it's just integrating the Manifest with the already compiled stuff.
apktool b working\SecSettings built\SecSettings.apk
And there we are, job done.
Copy to device in any way that you want, easiest is probably
adb push .\built\SecSettings.apk /system/app/SecSettings.apk
Remember that will overwrite the original (but you have a backup in the APK folder remember), just launch settings now on the device and you should be good to go.
Having said that, easier just to flash the zip

Ohh, I forgot the framework step. Sorry about that. I changed step #5 to include it now.
That's all I've done as far as frameworks go, and I've both used the guide myself (before I wrote it ) and tried it once after... So it should work now.

You will deffo need the TW Framework as well, else it wont be able to decompile. If you want to make sure, try
rd /s %userprofile%\apktool
Then try the process you have out, and you should get issues as the twframework is not available

I just deleted the entire \Users\x\apktool folder, re-added framework-res and decompiled the SecSettings APK with no errors. I'm sure I've never used the 'apktool if' command with anything else prior, too. Hmm.

Cool, just making sure, if it works then cracking.
However setting up the fw's that way is the 'correct way' to do them.

hi again, is it possible for u to make a flashable zip with remove blocking mode and smart rotation?
when i install smart rotation i lose blocking mode and vice versa. thanks a lote.

[SCRIPT] Debloat HTC 10

Although HTC 10 comes with less bloat than most other phones, it still has apps preinstalled that some of us probably will never use.
Some of those apps may even run at boot and consume RAM and CPU. For this purpose I made a small script that will remove those apps instead of doing it manually via ADB Shell.
This script is for Mac/OS X/macOS. I think it can also run on Linux but I'm not sure because I don't use Linux much.
For Windows, it can easily be ported to command line. If someone is willing to do it, PM me the script and I will add it to the repo.
Apps that the script removes:
Boost+
Google+ Sense Add-on
Instagram (placeholder app)
LinkedIn Sense Add-on
HTC Mail
Facebook (placeholder app)
Messenger (placeholder app)
News Republic
TouchPal Keyboard (SEE NOTE!)
Twitter Sense Add-on
Voice Recorder
Zoe
HTC Help
IceView Case support
HTC Speak
Transfer my stuff
Google Hangouts
Google Play Music
Basically what the script does:
Mount /system as RW
Delete above apps .apk and containing folder
Reboot after done.
DISCLAIMER: Although I don't see what could possibly go wrong by flashing this script, be sure to back up your ROM before flashing as I don't take any responsibility caused by this script. I have tested it on my HTC 10 and I didn't have any issues.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you plan to remove TouchPal keyboard, make sure that you have an alternative already installed before or you won't be able to type any text. In case you're reading this after you already screwed up, download your prefered keyboards .apk file and install it via ADB. The script will stop before removing the keyboard and ask if you are sure you want to remove it.
How to:
Enable USB debugging
Connect your phone
Execute "adb shell" and then "su" and grant superuser access to adb shell
(OS X) make script executable (chmod a+x)
Run script
I am open for suggestions and merge requests, happy debloating
The script can be found HERE.

Hoping someone works on the windows version cause i suppose totally run this.
Thanks for sharing

All this can be manually removed simply by hitting uninstall with root access right? Not knocking the script, just asking honestly.

Just double checking, but I take it that root is required?

Ive tried some apps for removal of system apps but it didn't work. And since I play around with ROMs reinstalling and uninstalling app by app takes just to much time.

Yes, you need root because you need to remove apps from the read-only /system partition.

Got it. Thanks for the reply. I haven't had an htc phone since gingerbread and I mostly had Samsungs on Verizon so I never bothered rooting. I didn't get my 10 yet but I hope to root right away and get rid of things I think are bloat. Probably gonna need this script I guess we'll see. Thanks again!

I have made a working copy for windows and added it to a fork of the gitlab repo here: https://github.com/ibrokemypie/htc_10_pme_debloat/blob/master/htc10_bloat_remover.cmd
I will maintain this as long as @dj_chapz does and will pull in any changes he makes.

I usually make changes after a firmware update if I notice any new bloat, but there shouldnt be much changes.
Also, this list is by personal preference, because some apps that I choose to leave others may want to remove or vice versa, so everyone should take the script as a base and edit to their likeing.

Device or resource busy

tried it but all the apps had the above thing ^
nougat,
oh it did work o.o saw the apps for a second, thank you! could i just add the sense apks into the script and remove it the same way?

Dare I ask... why not make a shell script you run from the phone? I'll give it a shot. I wrote one that creates directories so I can use FolderSync to restore settings from the cloud.
