Just wondering,
Whether the System APK files from a snapdragon variant can run inside an Exynos variant, given that I have files and root in both devices?

I have a firmware for NEC A9 Tablet which contains an android-fs.tar.gz file.
It basically contains the android file system with the usual directories. su is already located in /system/xbin
I am able to flash the firmware and root the firmware using z4root. I was wondering on how to create pre-rooted firmware?
I am comfortable with linux command and permission settings. Can anyone help to point me to the right direction?
Hi Everyone,
I saw that the AT&T 5.1 OTA had 4/6 Stagefright vulnerabilities patched already, so I thought I would try to make it work with the Developer Edition XT1053, in theory, this should also work with other models as well that are on at least Lollipop 5.1
NOTE: This process only works if you have root access, if you do not, you will not be able to apply this library
1) Use a File Explorer App, navigate to the system/lib folder and find the libstagefright.so file
2) Backup this file to your internal memory under sdcard, in case you need a stock version for when the official update comes
3) Download the AT&T libstagefright.so file (I attached the XT1053 5.1 stock version and the XT1058 5.1 AT&T version, in case you cannot backup yours)
4) Overwrite the libstagefright.so file and modify the permissions of the lib to match the other library files in the directory (Should be rw-r--r--)
5) Open the Stagefright detector app and run it, you should now be 4/6 vulnerabilities patched
This might seem like a very dumb question but I'll ask anyway: Why wouldn't this work for 4.4 or 4.2?
I have the XT1058 with 4.2.2 and I would like to give it a try, unless it may cause bricking.

The .so static libraries are compiled with a particular version of Android in mind (in this case 5.1), which means that it unfortunately couldn't work on earlier versions of android

I see. Guess I'll have to upgrade if I want this bug gone from my phone.
Hello,
I've heard that it's possible to unlock the gyroscope, which was availible in older software versions. If it's real, how do I do it?
I'm currently running Marshmallow, build B564.
Thanks for any help
You have to go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search
and use your brain.
Found this guide, but it says it's for B524/B535 firmware max, and couldn't find a (good) guide for B564.
It works on B564.
Just paste this file in /system/etc/permissions and set permissions to rw- r--- r-- (644)
Hey,
I just switched to an AOSP ROM (Emotion ROM) because of massive problems with Samsungs buggy stuff. As a replacement for Samsungs camera app I wanted to use Snapdragon camera since it was already very great on my old G2 and since I'm running a SD version of the Note (N910F). But sadly both version 2.0 and 2.1 just can't start and crash. I already tried manual installation by copying the files manually (one time the apk to /system/apps and the libraries to /system/lib and the second time coppying the SnapdragonCamera folder to /system/priv-apps) besides flashing the zip, but nothing will work. Permissions are always set correct (folder 755 and files 644) with TWRP.
Does the Snapdragon Camera only work with Snapdragon 800/801 or are the problems with Android 6? Because on my G2 I only got Android 5.1.1 and Android 6 has introduced some tougher security measures.
Hi,
I need the zip binary file for android x86 devices. This is one of the few devices with x86 structure, so thought you people will know about it.
Why I need it?
I am making a root based app. It currently supports arm and arm64 because I have the "zip" binaries for them. I have found "busybox" for x86, but not the "zip" binary. If anyone would kindly share it here, I would be able to support devices like this one.
How to do it?
Mostly custom ROMs like AEX has the zip binary. To check, download a terminal emulator app from Play store. Then issue this command:
Code:
zip --help
If you get the help menu, then the zip binary is present in the system. You need to just search it.
Where to search for the zip binary?
The zip binary can be present in /system/bin or /system/xbin or /vendor/bin (if this device has any directory like that). You would need a root enabled browser to look into these directories. Once you find it, please upload it here. I will be really grateful.
Thanks a lot.
