How to Deodex Rom and >odex back
Things nEeded
Code:
backsmali.jar
* smali.jar
* custom java.awt.jar
* dexopt wrapper
* recent version of busybox
Download this
Open CMD CD to folder extracted those scripts and type
1 Deodexing Framework files-
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :core.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:core-junit.jar -x android.policy.odex
(i am taking android.policy.jar as example , if framework.jar or whatever just change 'android.policy.jar' to 'framework.jar' and 'framework.odex'
This will make out folder
now smali that out folder by
typing
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
in CMD
HTML:
open android.policy.jar with 7zip without extracting
push the classes.dex created in the 7zip window in the root folder
close the 7zip windows and here is your deodexed android.policy.jar
2 Deodexing any App file i am taking systemUI.apk as example
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:com.samsung.device.jar:com.yamaha.android.media.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:java.awt.jar:javax.obex.jar:libvtmanagerjar.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:sec_feature.jar:seccamera.jar:sechardware.jar:secmediarecorder.jar:services.jar:sqlite-jdbc.jar:svc.jar:twframework.jar -x SystemUI.odex
Again out folder created now make it smali
by typing
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
in CMD
open SystemUI.apk with 7zip without extracting
push the classes.dex created in the 7zip window in the root folder
close the 7zip windows and here is your deodexed SystemUI.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3 Now we will learn to odexing back
1/ backup your original files (apk jar and odex) to /sdcard/Mod/
2/ copy modified deodexed files (.apk and .jar) in /system/framework/
3/ open a CMD prompt in the folder of adb.exe (usualy /android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/)
4/ type command :
Code:
adb shell
su
## for .JAR file :
dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/XXX.jar /system/framework/patched_XXX.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar
response must be :
--- BEGIN '/system/framework/android.policy.jar' (bootstrap=0) ---
--- waiting for verify+opt, pid=7194
--- would reduce privs here
--- END '/system/framework/android.policy.jar' (success) ---
## for .APK file :
dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/XXX.apk /system/framework/patched_XXX.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jaradb shell
su
## for .JAR file :
dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/XXX.jar /system/framework/patched_XXX.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar
response must be :
--- BEGIN '/system/framework/android.policy.jar' (bootstrap=0) ---
--- waiting for verify+opt, pid=7194
--- would reduce privs here
--- END '/system/framework/android.policy.jar' (success) ---
## for .APK file :
dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/XXX.apk /system/framework/patched_XXX.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar
It will makepatched_apknameyouodexing file now remove (renaming) "patched_" line so it will be "apknameyouodexing.odex"
Now copy Signatures- (in same CMD)
Code:
# if not already done ...
adb shell
su
# copy the original .odex and .jar in system/framework (not .apk) :
cp /sdcard/MOD/original.XXX.odex /system/framework
cp -f /sdcard/MOD/XXX.jar /system/framework # where XXX.jar is the original odexed .jar
# give all permissions to XXX.odex files :
chmod 777 /system/framework/original.XXX.odex
chmod 777 /system/framework/patched_XXX.odex
# copy signature :
busybox dd if=/system/framework/original.XXX.odex of=/system/framework/patched_XXX.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
response must be :
busybox dd if=/system/framework/original.XXX.odex of=/system/framewor
k/patched_XXX.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
20 bytes (20B) copied, 0.002042 seconds, 9.6KB/s
Done now odex/deodex your Rom , so easy!

Modifying updater-script (found in /META-INF/com/google/android)
Open with Notepad++
Now you can see in this pic theres written 'Welcome to Cm installer....'
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to make this!
open updater-script
you will see 1st line ! make enter so you can add 1 line (at first)
Now add
Code:
ui_print("your text anything");
Code:
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
tells extract directory system to system (in android)
Code:
mount("system");
tells mount specific directory like u can change location to dev folder
Code:
unmount("/system");
means unmount from where you mounted ! before
Code:
show_progress(0.200000, 5);
tells us that show progress like you can see when installing Rom yellow lines comes (CWM) u can control by this. its by Seconds..
Code:
symlink("busybox", "/system/xbin/fold");
means make symbolic link to that file at folder 'xbin'
Code:
format("MTD", "system");
means format mounted system folder
Code:
delete("/data/local");
Tells that delete /data/local folder
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/bin/chka2sd");
set pem means setting permission like chka2sd permission rww-rww-rww
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
it means flash boot.img make raw file (image) at tmp/boot (afterwards android do which i dunno) and delete that file!
Now save this file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modifying settings.apk
Creed$ rom!
you can see 'author name' which is not in our normal settings!
how he D!d?
Decompile apk by apkmanager ( i wont tell again xD , not by apktool )
1 goto res>xml open "device_info_settings.xml"
2 scroll to last and add line before "</PreferenceScreen>" line
3 add this line
Code:
<Preference android:title="Rom name (or whatever" android:summary="My rom name (what ever)" style="?android:preferenceInformationStyle" />
you can add many of them
4 Now compile from apkmanager when ask delete any file from 'keep folder' delete this file from keep folder and Install apk
too easy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

its lyk this! I made it dude! public.xml?
which entry? of Icon? no Icon needed!

Well its comprehensive and noob proof
Just a side note: Always mention the link to original article of any forum especially the deodexing part!
Secondly as Avilove.cullen said the tutorial for modification in Settings is incomplete as you also have to kang up the respective strings in strings.xml
And FYI we need not modify public.xml only when you put icons or images

Actually this isn't fundamental
It depends on the original developer where he defines it
In case of settings.apk it is with xml folder.

OK so say you wanted to add a list item called start clock. You would add the preferencescreen code and specify the target in settings.XML only? You wouldn't add lines to Id.XML or strings.XML and values.XML and then specify where in the layout folder of the appropriate XML in that folder?

[GUIDE] [23-08-12] [Sense | MIUI v4 | CM | ICS | Rom Port | u8800]

Sense Port Guide
Source:http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/164989-guide-how-i-port.html
This is NOT my guide, just posting it here!
This is a very difficult process that I hope you'll understand.
First step is to find a device that is preferably VERY similar to your device, in this instance I guess we would use the htc thunderbolt, which I've been told multiple times that it is used for the MT.
You're going to want to use CM7 for parts. Simple enough.
I will be referring the Sense ROM to SENSE and CM7 as BASE to simple things up. So remember that.
When I say replace, I would recommend deleting from one and adding it with the other
Open up Sense and Base in different windows.
Put in the boot.img from Base into Sense (make sure you put the original boot.img in some other place that you'll remember)
go into /system/usr on both
replace keylayouts and keychars from Base into Sense (this is just your keys)
download dsixda's kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246)
Get the ROM you have so far set up in it and what not (I'm a little fuzzy at this part)
Once you get done with that, run the menu in terminal and navigate your way to decompile the boot.img (action key- "a") and then run the same thing except run the action key "w" to decompile the original boot.img. So the key here is to decompile both boot.img's.
Go into the ramdisk on both and go into init.rc
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN THIS (THE MATTER OF BOOT AND BOOTLOOP) IS THE LINE
"export BOOTCLASSPATH" near the top. It will have a bunch of lines after it. Now in the Base's boot.img, delete this whole line. Replace it with the lines from Sense's boot.img.
Now you can add anything else you want that looks like it belongs (preferably anything sense related)
Don't recompile the boot.img yet.
Now we add a2sd. To do this, just follow this guide (https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158823170833688)
The only thing you do in there is the edits to the init.rc, don't listen to the decompiling/recompiling mentions. Now you can go back into the menu for the kitchen and recompile the boot.img (action key - "b"). Now don't compile the WHOLE ROM, just take the new boot.img in working_** and put it into the Sense zip.
Now you're going to want to download my ROM (sorry, just don't feel like uploading each individual file) http://gannon5197.blogspot.nl/2012/03/got-sense-booted.html
And go into the /system/bin on both
these are the files you're going to need: a2sd, bash, apps2sd.hlp, busybox.a2sd, chka2sd, jita2sd, launcha2sd, starta2sd, and maybe possibly sh (try once without it)
And you're going to want to set permissions for each one of these in the updater-script (look at mine for references)
Now also look at my zip and you'll see move_cache_sd. Put that in yours and set permissions for it in updater-script (use mine for references)
After that, the other stuff is mainly just getting rid of all the bloatware, (look in /system/app and /system/media) I wouldn't delete any libs as of right now. If you try to flash it and it reboots recovery then it is too big.
If it is too big, you're probably going to want to move a lot of the apps to data. To do this, just make a file called data/app/put_your_apps_here on the root of the zip. You're going to have to set permissions for it in the updater-script, but use the test.zip I sent you in the original.
This will most likely get you booted. Nothing will likely work. Which is expected. If you have any problems, just use logcat. It will be your bestfriend.
Have fun porting

MiuiV4 Port Guide
Source:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827256
This is NOT my guide, just posting it here!
The CM9 or ICS rom for your phone will be referred to as BASE. The MIUI Rom used for porting will be called PORT.
STEP 1:
Extract PORT to any folder and BASE to a working Kitchen folder or any other update.zip maker folder
STEP 2:
Delete app, framework and media folders from /system folder of BASE
Transfer these folders from PORT to BASE.
STEP 3:
Delete libandroid_runtime.so form /system/lib
Copy libandroid_runtime.so, content-types.properties and liblbesec.so from PORT /system/lib to BASE /system/lib
STEP 4:
Copy invoke-as from PORT /system/xbin to BASE
STEP 5:
Copy telocation.td , yellowpage.db and weather_city.db from PORT /system/etc to BASE
Copy miui-framework.xml from PORT /system/etc/permissions to BASE
STEP 6:
build.prop CHANGES:
ro.build.id=MIUI
ro.build.display.id=MIUI
ro.build.version.incremental=2.x.x (example: 2.8.3)
ro.config.ringtone=MI.ogg
ro.config.notification_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=GoodMorning.ogg
THE ONES BELOW IF THERE..DONT ADD THEM NOR DELETE
ro.config.sms_received_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.sms_delivered_sound=MessageComplete.ogg
STEP 7
updater-script CHANGES:
1.) First to add a bit of style: put this: http://pastebin.com/iEDfSCdh
So as you can see...put it after the first line
2.) The important part
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/invoke-as");
FIX SUPERUSER ISSUES:
Download: http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip
Put the SuperUser.apk to /system/app and replace /system/xbin/su with BASE

[GUIDE][GT-I9082/GT-I9082L][GRAND DUOS][04/06/2013]Make your own custom rom!!

THIS GUIDE WILL NOT MAKE YOU DEVELOPER OVERNIGHT. THIS GUIDE ONLY GIVEN TO GIVE YOU HEAD START IN ROM DEVELOPMENT.
I am glad that i am posting this in our new forum...(thanks xda)
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW SOME BASICS OF LINUX COMMANDS FOR ANDROID DEVELOPMENT.
DISCLAIMER- I AM NOT RECOMMENDING TO ADD PAID APPS OR SOME OTHER DEVELOPER'S WORKS IN UR ROM. PLEASE DON'T PUBLISH ROM WITH PAID CONTAINS OR OTHER DEVELOPER WORKS.
AND
"DON'T SPAM DEVELOPMENT FORUM WITH UR ROMS IF IT DOESN'T CONTAINS ANYTHING NEW."
STEPS:-
1.Things needed
2.Setting up Cygwin in windows
3.Setting up linux (if you are going to use windows then skip this)
3.Setting up a dsixda kitchen
4.Using a kitchen to make a rom
5.Customise the rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.THINGS NEEDED
1.DSIXDA Kitchen
http://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen/tags
(for any kitchen related issues please report to original kitchen THREAD
2. GT-I9082 /I9082L kitchen compatibility file http://d-h.st/qr5
3. Latest Firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares or samsung-updates.com
4. 7-zip (to extract tar.md5 file) in windows.
5. Notepad++
6.cygwin or linux (ubuntu or its variant preferred)i recommend using Linux for your development (sometimes cygwin causes symlink errors in updater script)
i use linuxlite or ubuntu 10.04 or ubuntu 13.04 64bit.
In windows android development is difficult and for porting and debugging ,tar,untar and many other functions linux is the only way.
7.JDK www.java.com
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2.SETTING UP CYGWIN IN WINDOWS
(I am not using cygwin for my development ,although it is setup in my pc.I personally prefer linux)
Download Latest JDK from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp choose windows offline version
Download cygwin package from http://content.wuala.com/contents/neroyoung/XDA%20ROM%20Dev%20Tools/Cygwin.zip
-->Install JDK first .
-->extract cygwin.zip C:\
-->We need to install cygwin, open the setup.exe, just keep hitting next until you are on the select packages screen, go to "Devel" menu and select to install gcc, gdb and make, in "Interpreters" check perl, in "Archive" check zip and unzip, in "Web" check wget, in "Editors" check nano and vim and in "Utils" select cpio, util-linux and ncurses. Make some tea and wait for the cygwin install to finish and we are ready to go to the next step.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW CYGWIN IS READY TO GET KITCHEN
3.SETTING UP LINUX
i personally recommend linux for kitchen and other android development use.
i use linux lite(based on ubuntu LTS release) http://www.linuxliteos.com/ I also use ubuntu 13.04
if u want to use ubuntu then i recommend version 10.4 or 13.04 or use kubuntu latest release.
Installing linux along with windows on other partition as dual boot can be done but need experience.
Following are 2 methods are easiest and currently recommended by me.
FIRST METHOD
Most easy and recommended
INSTALLING UBUNTU ALONG WITH WINDOWS WITHOUT FORMATING HARD DRIVE OR PARTITION
-->Download Ubuntu 13.04 64bit
-->Download WUBI 13.04
-->make sure ur one of the partitions on ur pc have atleast 25 to 30 gb space.
-->After downloading put wubi and ubuntu iso in same folder
(note don't use wubi on windows 8 pc)
-->Double click on wubi.exe
-->Select Drive with maximum space. select 22gb in installation size.
-->set ur administrator password & re-enter it in confirm password box.
-->click install & wait for finish screen.
-->select reboot.
-->on rebooting it will start installation automatically.
-->wait till installation finishes & reboot to default ubuntu log screen.

5.how to customise your rom.
So first thing now for you to customize your own rom.
You can do this in linux or windows
DISCLAIMER- I AM NOT RECOMMENDING TO ADD PAID APPS OR SOME OTHER DEVELOPER'S WORKS IN UR ROM. PLEASE DON'T PUBLISH ROM WITH PAID CONTAINS OR OTHER DEVELOPER WORKS
A]Remove & add apps
B]Remove unnecessary files.
C]Add your own ringtones,alarm,notification sounds
So lets start....
First u have to make back up copy of ur rom.(I am a back up freak...)
A]Remove & add apps
REMOVE APPS
Extract your rom to some directory like "myrom"
Now you get system,boot.img,meta-inf folder extracted.
Go to >>system/app
DELETE THE APPS YOU DON'T NEED.
I AM GIVING YOU THE NAME OF FILES I REMOVE AS PER MY NEED.

THIS GUIDE WILL NOT MAKE YOU DEVELOPER OVERNIGHT. THIS GUIDE ONLY GIVEN TO GIVE YOU HEAD START IN ROM DEVELOPMENT.
I am glad that i am posting this in our new forum...(thanks xda)
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW SOME BASICS OF LINUX COMMANDS FOR ANDROID DEVELOPMENT.
STEPS:-
1.THINGS NEEDED
2.SETTING UP CYGWIN IN WINDOWS (I am not using cygwin for my development ,although it is setup in my pc.I personally prefer linux)
NOW CYGWIN IS READY TO GET KITCHEN
3.SETTING UP LINUX
i personally recommend linux for kitchen and other android development use.
i use linux lite(based on ubuntu lts release) http://www.linuxliteos.com/
if u want to use ubuntu then i recommend version 10.4 or use kubuntu latest release
instaling linux along with windows is complex and i am not covering that in this guide.
NOW YOUR VIRTUAL MACHINE IS READY TO SETUP KITCHEN
4.SETING UP DISXDA KITCHEN

hi k2wl,
i also use cygwin+kitchen and have a same file as baffin on home\kitchen\tools\edify_defs, and also do the same steps as you mentioned, but the updater-script is not same as yours. it stuck on boot loop--WO 3G, when i flash my baffin_zip, no samsung arround on the screen.
i upload my updater-script, can you help me check it? what's wrong with it ?
my device : I9082_CU Chinese Unicom mobile, wether i should change the device name to cu_baffin or not ? confused.........
i also can flash your roms based on XXAMCD and ZTAMD1, maybe not the name issue.
help.........

my friend its a issue of symlinks....
i recommend to use linux+kitchen for perfect rom making....i have faced this for some other device previously and from that time i always use linux for development.
(i have been linux user since 2000...)
install linuxlite/ubuntu/kubuntu in virtual box and put kitchen in it. copy the compatibility file in the fore said folder and and fire up your kitchen. Rest procedure is same.
i am giving u my updater script for your convenience . replace your updater script with this and reflash again.
TELL me the results of reflash!!!
also attach build.prop here ...i wana look at it.

i have try to use your updater-script to replaced.but also faild....i have wiped all before flash.
the build.prop and boot.img are attached, please check it.
i also unpack the cache.img to the system file, is this the reason why can not flash? because i see nothing csc related files in your roms.
and i will try to build lunix, and do it again.

it is not the csc... ur build.prop and boot imgs are ok. do rom building in linux and give me feed back.
if u going to use ubuntu then use HELLS-KITCHEN | Ubuntu-Based | ROM Developing Distro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152398
it already contains kitchen.

awesome guide brother..
Making rom is jst about experience. When a person like you makes rom they keep getting better and better. So rom made by you will be any day better than a first time user.
People should be able to make their own Rom. So that you can focus on development of powerful custom Rom and kernels. Your contributions for sgg are huge...

Just a note, installing linux alongside windows is a very, very simple job. You only need to partition your hard disk to have like a 100GB empty partition, and make an Ubuntu bootable USB using Rufus (Awesome program), and just boot using the USB and follow the steps to install Ubuntu.

@DBZo07
ya basically that is main purpose of this tutorial.

@panda00
or u can use UNetbootin to have bootable linux usb.

Yes, Rufus has the same function, but I prefer Rufus, because Rufus is universal (i.e. works with windows ISO as well) and it's portable (no need for an install)

This guide helped me to have my own customized rom.. Thanks k2wl for your efforts... Hats off man..
Possible customization were done looking at your rom features and my requirements.
Turned out to be awesome one..
Further, dpi is set to 160 without any single bug.
Battery usage is awesome. Still haven't used your custom kernel, which I don't wanna try for now.
Again, thanks man for this guide finally got perfect awesomeness. Now, I can focus on my exams rather than such hunting around for better.
God bless you.. Later...

[TUT][N,O] WIFI region code Fix for RR , Carbon(Roms based on it) and cypherOS

Hello Guy today I want to teach you how to fix WiFi region code problem on Nought and Oreo roms
FIX FOR NOUGHT ROMS AND OREO ROMS(ONLY FOR BUILDS BEFORE 19/1/2018)(NOT FOR cypherOS)
If you are on builds after 19/1/2018 or cypherOS go down ; there is a way with xposed to fix the problem
reqierments :
1. knowing how decompile .jar files (you can use This tool)
2. notepad ++(for editing some files)
3. "telephony-common.jar" from rom (you can find it in "system -> framwork)
4. framwork-res.apk of rom (you can find it in "system -> framwork)(the process may work without it)
** if you see this mark on TUT it means "if you use the tool that is on first requierments"
Steps :
1. install the "framework-res.apk" for apktool (** copy it to "in" folder of tool
then choose " 1 " and choose the "framwork-res.apk" of rom)
2. decompile the "telephony-common.jar" file and go the folder of the decompiled file (** copy the file to "in" folder open the tool and choose " 2 " then choose the "telephony-common.jar" and continue the process to complete decompile and then you can find the folder of decompiled file in "out" folder)
3. After you go to the folder of decompiled file go to " smail -> com -> android -> internal -> telephony " then search for " MccTable " and open it with "notepad ++"
4. on " notepad ++ " search for " setWifiCountryCode " and you will find three lines with it
go to first line
under it you will see " .locals 5 " change it to " .locals 13 "
( as you can see in picture )
first line
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then go to second line
go a little upper and found (here is .line 199)(but the line number may change duo to rom)
:cond_1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and change the line below of it to
goto :goto_0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( as you can see in picture )
second line
there is no need to touch the third line
5. save the file and close " notepad ++ "
6. now recompile the file (** choose " 3 " to recompile the file and choose "telephony-common.jar" and then press NUM "4" option (Recompile, Sign And Then Zipalign)and continue the process to complete recompile )
6.1 ( ** you can find the file on " done " folder)
7. after the recompile completed copy the file to your phone
8. on your phone replace old " telephony-common.jar " with the new one and set permissions and reboot phone
P.S. after the reboot the phone may not boot at the first time (dont worry) just force shutdown your phone ( by press and holding "power button" and "volume up" and phone will vibrate 3 times ) then turn on your phone again
and you will see the problem of region code is gone :good:
FIX FOR all Nought and OREO BUILDS (LOS & RR & CARBON & CYPHER OS)
first of all thanks to @ali6944 for finding this xposed modules
you just need xposed for it and install this modules then active it and reboot your phone and problem is gone :good:

Cool to see it nicely put in an easy to follow format, Good job!:highfive:

I have done exactly what you did with the same tool, but only in step 6 when recompiling, I am getting four options :
Recompile "telephony-common.jar"
1 - Only Recompile
2 - Recompile And Then Sign
3 - Recompile And Then Zipalign
4 - Recompile, Sign And Then Zipalign
I chose the first one and I got the file in "done" folder but in zip format like this telephony-common.zip
I changed the extension to .jar and copied it to phone, replaced the old one and gave permissions, powered off the device (force shut down) and turned it on but I didn't get a working WIFI, I am on RR 5.8.5 BTW, thanks for the help.. hope you can reply soon..

yes you are right i have forgot to say anything about that four option
i choose " 4 " ( Recompile, Sign And Then Zipalign )
and i dont know why it was in zip format
and another thing is i did this for carbon rom which has no option to change wifi region code i dont know if it works on RR
BTW try again with the NUM 4 option and if it didnt worked send the telephony-common.jar file to me to see what can i do

I got it working for RR using this..

After doing exactly as you showed, but instead of recompiling using this tool I recompiled the file using the APKTOOK that was installed previously on my computer using this command (after opening CMD in the out folder)
Code:
apktool b -f -d telephony-common.jar
after that I copied the output file from the dist folder (telephony-common.jar\dist) and replaced it with permissions and it worked perfectly (RR 5.8.5), thanks for helping and keep it up for more tutorials :highfive:

It's because the rom is not deodexed, I've spent a lot of time searching for a way to deodex and found out that android 8.1 moved to .vdex instead of .odex so there isn't yet a way to deodex to apply this fix, you can learn more about this here: https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/issues/498

For linux you can use this: https://github.com/anestisb/vdexExtractor
for windows: https://github.com/Furniel/Apk-Changer
i successfully deodexed the whole framework but there's something wrong!
if you removed oat and arm folders then flashed the deodexed framework you will enjoy with the lovely bootloop, if you flashed without removing oat and arm folders it's fine but not effects for any modded jars!! so basically the deodexed framework is useless!!
here is the file which you need already deodexed and patched and if you find anyway to get it working please let me know because i miss some mods since the latest build

Latest build of Lineage and CypherOS is the same, so that's might be the new style and i think it's better if we can find a solution for that rather than using old builds!

You are absolutely right, also it's a universal thing with all the new 8.1 roms, even the Pixel phone OTAs have it so a lot of effort is being but into this right now, I'll keep trying, I'm even using the latest build of carbon right now, it's a bit inconvenient having to reboot the phone every time you disconnect from WiFi, but this motivates me to try even further!

@rocker00 can you try installing vdex extractor, you can find it compiled and ready here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbqs5e8nwy...actor.exe?dl=0
it didn't want to install on my PC for some reason, if you can get it working try using it on boot-telephony-common.vdex from framwork/arm and see what comes up

it didn't want to install on my PC for some reason, if you can get it working try using it on boot-telephony-common.vdex from framwork/arm and see what comes up

This is not an app to install, it's like command line, also it doesn't make any sense to try this because the tool i mentioned for windows also based on vdexextractor, it's just implemented for windows.
now am confused more and more, i flash deodexed patched services.jar (aka superuser mod) and it worked! then i tried to remove services.vdex from oat/arm and it worked also!! so why it worked with or without .vdex from oat/arm and the other mods based on arm folder doesn't work and if you removed boot-......vdex for any jar you will have bootloop!!

here is a thread that i found helpful: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...lly-deodex-stock-oreo-systemui-t3685034/page3
It seems like even the gods of deodexing are having the same issues, you can deodex pretty much anything including services.jar, but you can't touch any other framework file without causing a bootloop, if i got the conclusion right then i think we need to wait for jesusfreake to update smali and backsmali to support vdex

Yeah, the latest post in the thread you mentioned exactly the same issue i have, looks like we are out of luck now!

I can't believe I forgot about this, but while I was looking for a fix for nougat months ago I found this xposed module that fixes the issue, but since I got WiFi working before that, I totally forgot about it, I just tried it with the latest Carbon rom and it works! Can't believe it was right there for so long
Here it is http://repo.xposed.info/module/android.wifiregionalfix

Flashing ends with Error 7 in Twrp 3.0.3.0

I also tried deleting the asserts file from update-script and then another error pops up saying corrupt file.
Please help .
Current ROM - RR-N-v5.8.5 Final.

To Fix:
Open the Lineage OS ROM zip using any archiving software like 7zip, WinRAR, etc… You can also open it on your device.
Now, you need to navigate to this path: META-INF » com » google » android » updater-script.
Open the file updater-script in a text editor. You’ll see a bunch of lines with the command assert and the model name of the device next to it.
updater script lineage os
If there’s a mismatch with the codename of the device in the script, you’ll get Error 7 while flashing.
So, just either edit the code to match your device’s codename or delete all the lines having the code “assert & getprop”
Save the file.
Try to install the ROM now.

Extract rom in a folder . go to META-INF , com , google , android , updater script.
open updater script using Notepad ++ , ( because other apps like word pad does not detect line numbers and you get error while flashing, so use notepad++), delete the first line and compress again.

You use Notepad++ for this or not.
Because only Notepad++ is detecting the lines correctly.
Extract the zip in separate folder.
Now select updater script from META-INF , com , google , android , updater script.
Delete the first line and go to start of 2nd line and hit backspace .Now your 2nd line now first line .
Now go to folder where to extract the ROM files .
Select all files and folders such as Install,META-INF,boot.img,system.bat,etc, (select everything ) , Right click , and compress these files to zip.
i think you are compressing the folder which contain these extracted files, thats why you are getting the error.

Thanks for the help. I was zipping the folder because when i compressed the files by selecting them my mac's default will make different zips for each file/folder. I used winrar and it went fine..
