Decompile lollipop's framework-res
This my first post on XDA though I've always kept an eye on this wonderful forum. As I'm sure of many my fellow Android fans I downloaded hanspampel lollipop image, unfortunately I wasn't able to decompile framework-res apk using apktool lastest build (RC2). I don't know if it's against the hanspampel's rules to modify apks but I only change the lux numbers in order to reduce brightness and make my tablet (Nexus10) usable in darkness.

This does not answer you question about the framework but a non-framework alternative is the app "Lux" which allows customized brightness settings adapted to your preference under changing light conditions. I bought the pro version and heavily use the various profiles so that my custom selections adapt to the light conditions and situations (inside day, inside night, outside day, video consumption). The pro version provides 5 profiles (not with the names that I actually use them for though).
It took me about 3 days to "train" Lux to my preferrences. The profiles can be saved so it took me no time to get back to my settings after I upgraded to Lollipop. Lux has become one of my must have customizations on Android.

I've tried a couple of those "dimming" apps, they seem to apply some sort of layer instead of changing the brightness values.
Edit: Had to remove links I'm not allowed to post links.

Lux changes the brightness values in every case but one. There is a night astronomy mode that adds a red layer. Lux is a superior autobrightness replacement with significantly more personalization. It can't hurt to try the free version.

I downloaded Lux It turns out I ried before, unfortunately it doesn't change the raw Lux values instead it applies a dimming layer. I guess I have to wait for a new version of apktool.
Thank you mate!
It's done! Google launched a new version of apktool and I was able to modify the framework apk. Thanks again for your responds.
I know this is probably a stupid question, but I always want to be absolutely certain of something if it can potentially result in a bricked device. I see in the OP of Hans' Lollipop thread he has zips of the stock recoveries for both 5.0 and 5.0.1. Due to the fact I just flash Hans' zips, I have no need to wait for an OTA. However, if I did want to wait for the OTA, would I just flash the zip of the stock recovery in the Android version I am currently using (which would be the "out of date" one) and then install the OTA update? If that is correct, there would be no reason to flash the newest stock recovery because it would automatically be installed, correct?
im using twrp 2.8.0.1, do a factory reset then wipe cache files. Everything works very smooth and stable. No FC at all and randomly restart.
Thanks hanspampel
no WiFi with LRX22C or LRX21P. Also tried the Possible_WLAN_Fix_updater_script.zip with no luck. (Using TWRP 2.8.2.0)
Went back to 4.4.4 KitKat (from NANDroid backup) until this WiFi issue can be solved.
Thanks anyway to OP.
For some mysterious reasons I wasn't able to flash the 5.01 version even though I was able to flash the 5.0 one. BTW what do you mean by full wipe, factory reset+caches+system, or really a full wipe thus deleting every single bit??
I'm having the same problem with 5.0.1, FC on play services and can't get past "looking for updates". Didn't try 5.0.0 though.
Updated to 5.0.2 and my wifi no workee. Trying a reboot, while wiping cache and dalvik, so we'll see if that helps. Any other ideas? I don't want to factory reset, but will as a last resort.
Quick Question
I am about to switch over to stock lollipop. My nexus is already rooted and I have Twrp installed. I do not mess with the rom a whole lot. However, I plan on doing a complete wipe except the recovery. I noticed a custom kernel and a beta Superuser floating around. I would like to simply keep my device rotted but mover over to the new lollipop stock rom. I have searched forums and there's no clear answer as to the purpose of these two files. So in the interest of being cautious and informed, here are a couple questions:
Could someone explain clearly what I need to do and know create a stable switch from a 4.4 custom rooted device over to lollipop? You can assume I am filled in enough to have done the work the first time, but I don't like seeing special files/ steps floating around that I do not understand.
Why a custom kernel for root?
What's the deal with the SU beta?
And finally: Any suggestions for a stable governor/scheduler for lollipop? (before everyone hops on and says experiment, the point of me asking is to get a couple opinions from people who have done a bunch of experimenting and use the one I like the best- establishing a baseline of performance is helpful as well)
Thanks in advance to reponders. This forum is excellent if a little opaque occasionally. I did try to do my homework in advance. After a couple of hours, I thought I would just ask.
Same here, just came from 5.0.1 (hanspampel) and just installed 5.0.2 (hanspampel) through TWRP 2.8.4.0 after a factory reset and cache/dalvik wipe and nothing but dots for 20mins
5.0.2 not working here, too
Hey Hans,
I also can't get the 5.0.2 to work. Using twrp 2.8.4.0. Md5 matches.
Dirty flashed over 5.0.1 system image incl SuperSu - it came to the optimizing apps, after that: bootloop. Dirty flashed for the 2nd time (because you said so) also bootlooped.
Then wiped data and flashed again: Bootloop. I alaways waited at least 15 mins for the nexus to come up.
(Tried 5.0.0 and .1 earlier, they came up, but wifi could not connect.)
I wonder why the rom works perfect for you, maybe your Hardware differs a little bit... Are you using the 16gb Version? Purchased my Nexus on launch day in play store, also from germany.
All Older 4.x Releases of your rom were working so fine and a conveniant way to update without using the google factory images.
I really hope you can find a fix for this! If I can help you somehow, please tell me.
Kind regards

Downloaded the 5.0.2 zip, went into TWRP 2.8.4.0, wiped system, cache and dalvik cache, unmouted everything, and flashed the zip file. This is coming from stock 5.0.2 without a factory reset, and everything is working fine so far, although I have not rooted yet as I don't really have the need for root any more.

this is not working for me. i'm stuck in lollipop boot (where the 4 points swirl )
same thing with 5.0.1
Thank you!
Installed this ROM yesterday....running great. Thank you.
Hanspampel's translucent patch for 5.1
After trying in vain to get translucency on 5.0.2, the 5.1 patch is working now, with one problem: Google Newsstand has stopped working, so I had to freeze it. No other problem as yet. Anyone got any clue?
This thread is now obsolete, please refer to the thread by Cuoco92 here:

Hi All,
There is a multilanguage, debloated ROM available for our phone that is a much better starting point than flashing the Chinese ROM and debloating it manually. It is based on 5.6.014S release. It comes with Google Apps, SuperSU, Adblock, System app remover and a few other features preinstalled. It also offers OTA updates (one just arrived today). I have been testing it for a past few days and can wholeheartedly recommend it!
Just flash the ZIP through TWRP:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=57909
Note that installing Xposed framework from official thread will prevent GUI to start.
Here's a compatible version (79) that someone made. Didn't test much so YMMV, but GravityBox seems to work fine:

It is based on 5.6.014S release (I updated the original post). But it seems to me that it is more of a series rather than a one shot release. The guy has been maintaining it for multiple LeEco devices and providing updates for some time. Can't find much about it in English though.

To learn how to install TWRP check @STEVE_MARS'es guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/twrp-root-14s-rom-x820-t3382221
Just note that you don't have to bother putting SuperSU/GApps on the phone and flashing it as they are integrated in the the ROM.
Important: flash the most recent TWRP, e.g. download it from @STEVE_MARS'es blog: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/twrp-3-0-2-source-based-off-t3388695
(it is by default in Chinese, but possible to change language to English)
Sooooooo. If I am on the latest official 14s Version and blocked everything with titanium Backup... And everything is fine with my rom... Why would I change to this? Is there Basic Apps included like calls, SMS, contacts,?

Like I said, it's a better starting point for those who are flashing new ROM. Otherwise it looks and works the same as official 14s. I really like the approach though. The modifications are very light and unobtrusive. You will just see some added menus in the settings, like Dolby Atmos support (not that I care for it). But it clearly gets some love from the author. You get OTA updates with a clear changelog and new features. Yesterday's update added multi-user support and fingerprint-based app unlocking and a spell checker. Probably it's mostly a matter of unlocking MM features that were disabled by LeEco. But it's great someone is tinkering with it!
On official i could install xposed and grafitybox, but on cuoco it comes an error after booting. System Interface error.
Sent from my Le X820 using XDA Free mobile app
Has this ROM german language integrated? The settings complete in german?
yes 99%
Tix very nice make you more Updates
pls Include the Exposed Framework
This Rom is awesome, everything works fine, I have already received 3 OTA Updates, German since last update (today) 100%.
I'm happy with this Rom on this great Phone !!!!!!!!
Is it possible to remove GAPPS? I want to install the Pico Opengapps package.
Sadly, whenever I freeze the Google app (used for google now), the phone doesn't boot anymore.
I just installed this rom, work great, thanks. May I ask where you get the OTA update? Is there a place you can manually check in the setting? Or the OTA just pop on notification?
I flashed this ROM and it worked good. And the playstore force closure stopped. But there is a lot of languages but no Swedish language. Is that fixable? Is it possible to flash just the language?

It's the app that called "Updates" I think. But I got my Olas popped up in notification bar..
The "Update" app disappear after I got the third OTA, Is that the same problem to you? Maybe the "update" app only appear when there is a OTA?
Could someone explain? Thanks
On my phone it's where it was after V28 update. Pretty sure it's supposed to remain visible as it has a GUI in which you check and download updates manually.

Confirmed. Fortunately, someone released Xposed v79 compatible with this ROM. I tested on V28 and it seems to work.

Please help
The stable Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 - firmware 1.1.47 update is officially being released Over-The-Air (OTA) starting from 29 March 2017 in the afternoon, here is the announce on the YotaPhone VK page.
Moreover, the main improvements are listed in this official 4pda post by the company YotaDevices. Main changelog can be found in the attachments, but many other new features are explained in the YotaHelp app within MM.
The update will initially arrive by OTA to those with latest RU 134 firmware, later it should be available also on the FTP YotaDevices' server. In the future it will be pushed also to EU firmwares. Keep in mind that for a succesful OTA installation, the phone must be stock, with no /system partition modifications and stock recovery. Root will be lost after the update. As this is a major update, as for every Android phone a clean start is recommended (factory reset). It is not necessary, by the way, things can work fluently even without it.
Found a bug? The company YotaDevices explicitly asked to kindly send them your findings if you wish to help, let's see how.
Find out if the bug is reproducible and notice what are the phone's settings and configuration to make this bug happen;
A useful app for bug reports is this one;
Provide as much detail as you can, with your phone specifications, firmware, version, etc;
To generate bug reports, also the command adb bugreport bugreport.zip can be used while the device is attached to PC with ADB enabled;
If you can't handle native bug report funcion, just provide as much information as you can, maybe with some screenshots;
Send everything to [email protected]
As it is taking a lot of time to update due to many requests handled by their servers, unkernet uploaded the MM update 147. I will attach .torrent files in this post, one is FULL FOTA and another one is OTA from RU 134 to MM. Here there is another mirror for FULL FOTA: GDrive. These files can be pushed manually into the phone (sideloaded) with adb using stock/TWRP recovery (even if sometimes there are errors with custom recoveries such as TWRP). This procedure brings to identical results as an OTA has been installed automatically. Just go into recovery (VOL UP + POWER), select apply update from ADB, connect the phone to PC and with a command prompt opened where adb.exe and the FOTA.zip are located, type: adb devices, which should return a value, then adb sideload FOTA.zip.
How to adb sideload an update (no data loss) @hpnhannghia created a video-guide to update to latest MM build starting from latest RU Lollipop 134, using adb sideload. If you find it useful, you may thank him in this post.
BETA-PROGRAM DETAILS ARE HIDED IN THE SPOILER BELOW, AS THEY ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT.
UPDATE 20/12/16: BETA-TESTING APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED.
As of now the LATEST OFFICIAL MM BETA is 1.1.31. Download links and instructions are in the OP. The 1.1.43 is leaked and YotaDevices said that it is UNSTABLE.
The beta-testing program for Android Marshmallow has begun! The announcement was made officialy by the user YotaDevices on 4pda.ru.
First of all I would like to thank the user @Amplificator who pointed it out here
I will translate and put the announcement below in the spoiler:
Dear friends!
On the eve of one of the most magical and wonderful festivities, our team wants to offer YotaPhone 2 users to participate in the beta testing of a new firmware for the transition to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) operating system.
You will be able to experience Android 6.0 in action with several new features, and in return we ask you to share with us your comments and suggestions. As part of the beta test on YotaPhone 2 will be sent to upgrade to Android M. But before you decide to participate, please read the instructions below.
The updates that you receive as part of the beta version, may contain errors or defects that significantly affect the operation of the device.
You can always choose from and return to stable public version of the firmware running Android 5.0 Lollipop. However, if your smartphone has already installed a beta version of Android M, then during the rollback, all user data will be deleted permanently.
Participation in the beta available to users who bought YotaPhone 2 on the territory of Russia (in the online shop or at official points). Smartphones currently RU1.1.134 firmware version must be installed.
The beta-version of the firmware on China Yotaphone2 (Model YD206) could be installed incorrectly or with errors. In this case, we are not responsible for the performance of the whole system, so we do not recommend to the users of this model to participate in the test program.
In order to examine your applications to partecipate to the program we need the following information:
IMEI ( "Settings" -> "About phone" -> "General" -> IMEI);
A screenshot of the settings in the "About phone", namely the points "firmware communication module," "kernel version" "Build Number";
Contact information (name, email address, phone number).
Please send the info above with a personal message to the representative of YD 4PDA: YotaDevices
__________end of announcement __________
SENDING FEEDBACK TO YOTA-DEVICES: If you have found a bug that just happened or you can even reproduce it, you can send bug reports here: [email protected] with the function "send bug report" which can be found the Developers option in the Settings. You have to click that function no more than 15minutes as a bug has occurred, and in the email specify as better as possible what you've done to reproduce it, and write your IMEI. [Before sending reports, a clean installation of the latest beta is advised, that is, flashing the latest FOTA and then doing data/dalvik/cache wipes.]
For general support and feature request any YotaPhone user can write to: [email protected]
UPDATE 23/12/16: FOTA OF LATEST BETA VERSION 1.1.28, TO BE INSTALLED STARTING FROM 5.0 RU .134: need to be sideloaded (adb sideload filename.zip) using stock recovery. Download here.
Credits to 4pda user kosvas
UPDATE 25/12/16: TWRP BACKUP OF BETA 6.0.1 firmware 1.1.28: Download link. Unzip it and put the folder into your personal TWRP backup folder, which name is alfanumeric (for example: 025e8b1302684091f). You can find it in your phone: TWRP/BACKUPS/*******. You already have this folder if you created a backup with TWRP in the past. If not, just enter TWRP and create a small backup (of just one partition for example), thus TWRP will create the folder you need. Inside this alfanumeric folder you will put the downloaded file.
Source and credits this 4pda post.
UPDATE 29/12/16: TWRP BACKUP OF BETA 6.0.1 firmware 1.1.30: Download link see instruction above. Source and credits this 4pda post.
Moreover, here there's the OTA 1.1.30 with must be applied from 1.1.28 with stock recovery using adb sideload (you must be unrooted). For your convenience there's also a full FOTA Marshmallow 1.1.28 here which must be used from latest 4.x RU Android version. Source and credits this 4pda post.
UPDATE 10/01/17: FULL ZIP OF BETA 1.1.31: It has to be installed on stock ROM without modifications, using the stock recovery and adb sideload command. link here: FOTA MM. Source: 4pda post The incremental update (from 1.1.30 to 1.1.31) has not been uploaded by anyone, at the moment.
You can use any method you want between these two: adb sideloading the official FOTA with stock recovery OR restoring a clean TWRP backup created by beta-testers.
UPDATE 03/03/17: OTA ZIP of LEAKED 1.1.43: This OTA package has been received by mistake by one of 4pda user, Kazus48; YotaDevices replied saying that this version won't be available to beta-testers due to its instability. Nevertheless, it has been extracted and uploaded by welser. I repeat that installing this OTA is not advised by YotaDevices, do it at your own risk, as it is an internal build. You can find it here: sideload it with stock recovery above 134 Lollipop.
When the beta-program will end the official marshmallow release will be available initially by OTA to any YotaPhone2 with latest RU and EU firmware (no matter which radio or which model (YD201 or YD206).
Take a look at this post to have a brief review of the MM update and to see also some screenshots.

There is no e-mail address, you eighter make a post on that thread with the information (not suggested because you expose your IMEI), or send a private message to the user YotaDevices.
If you don't want to register to 4pda.ru, you may send me a PM here with your info and I'll send it to YotaDevices on 4pda via private message, it could be a solution. If you get involved, you will receive via OTA the beta-update.
In my case I can't partecipate because I've a YD206.
Still need to translate, I guess, but here is post about new beta 6.0.1 with link for download and instructions: 4pda - Andoid M
And here is the post with TWRP backup and with OTA version for loading through adb sideload
Now that is excellent news. Any reports yet - does it work, or is it as flawed as the Android 5.1 upgrade? I would need safetynet to pass and YotaMirror to work, plus the usual stuff (Google Play Store etc).

Hey OP could you translate this please. I think it tells us about bugs but Google translate is terrible.
Сборка предназначена исключительно для внутреннего тестирования, и имеет недоработки, связанные со вторым экраном, а именно:
1) Мало виджетов
2) Кривой YotaMirror
3) Баги с перерисовкой изображения на ВВЭ.

In post #11 the three issues concern the second screen:
1. few widgets
2.displaying "crooked" image on the EPD display when mirrored
3.buggy drawings on the EPD
nothing mentioned about battery
Oh thanks for the translate. On the 4pda thread, using google translate, it said the system was smoother and faster. Animations are very smooth no lag and that heating issues are significantly less then lollipop update and that it was suitable for everyday use.
I'm going to try update to marshmallow but I may need to install twrp or something since I get the E: Cannot load volume /misc! when sideloading but that's probably because i flashed twrp before.
Any tips on how to fix the error? I'm gonna try use yotaflasher then ota update to 1.134 then sideload marshmallow. That should work right?
i still have 5.1 and it has a few bugs like random black screen on the e-paper display, mediocre battery life and sometimes the keyboard won't type anything
Does 6.0 fix some of these?

Yes it does say that the update runs very smooth with no lag, but there are couple of things that have to be be done, before trying to flash to MM:
The phone battery should be no less then 80% charged
ROOT has to be removed, and the recovery has to be STOCK one.
that`s what it says about upgrading to MM on the 4pda site
So if I use that twrp backup will I keep root/xposed/everything I have on my phone?
but how to flash this guys? it is same as we flash lollipop frmware using yotaflasher or like somthing like recovery.. ?
im on RU1.1.134 firmware..

Yeah that's what I thought I flashed 5.0.0-RU1.1.124 using yotaflasher and downloading the 1.134 OTA now. After that I'll sideload the marshmallow update and hopefully that works. I'll post and let people here know if it works or not.

I'm not sure but i'd recommend wiping before updating considering you have root & xposed that'll probably mess with the update and might cause crashes.

The following are not my instructions. They are taken from the Russian forum at 4pda and are written by "AlexRUS72" so all credit goes to him. I just tried to help with the translation.
After you have latest RUS firmware and you have stock recovery without ROOT and battery charged to at least to 80% you do the following:
1.rename the downloaded file to "yotaphone2.zip" there is a link to the file. (You should have it if you ask how to flash it )
2.put the "yotaphone2.zip" in your working directory where Adb And Fastboot files are
3.turn off the phone
4.you power on the phone by pressing volume up+power buttons and holding it until you enter recovery
5.then connect the phone with the USB cable
6.start Minimal ADB and Fastboot
7.from the recovery menu choose "apply update from ADB"
8.on the PC type "adb sideload yotaphone2.zip" and wait.........
The process takes almost twice the time it takes to flash 5-th version! You have to watch the phone screen for errors. If you see an error that means that it`s not going to work!
And one more time: nobody will be responsible for your actions! You do everything at your own risk!
Why does this guy have it?
Any solution we can flash nougat?
That guy doesn't have Android Nougat, it is fake. If you look at his firmware version it says that MM is installed. The modifications are done with xposed or other stuff. The android version written in "About Phone" can be changed anytime to anything manually, it's just matter of editing a text file in build.prop. The notification panel and the quick toggles are the same as those obtained using a particular xposed module which "N-tifies" those settings.
Regarding the fact if we will ever have it, who knows. At the moment Qualcomm hasn't released drivers for Snapdragon 801 to work with Nougat. So only back-porting might be possible. When YotaPhone 3 will be released (with Android N, 99% sure), maybe someone will manage to port its ROM to YotaPhone 2.
guys, I know that soon it will be possible to auto-update by WiFi to Android 6 - may be in a month...

Did you see a parameter Sytem UI? It told us this guy doenload Nougat UI on YotaPhone 2! So It's fake! Latest ver. Of YotaPhone 2 Is Android 6.0.1 (Marshmellow)
any news about yotaphone 3? Hope will not have the same price release like YP2...
Apologies for cryptic title. My Mi A1 has multiple issues and a patchy update history. I don't know how to narrow this down to a single, simple question. Hope someone can help to make sense of this.
History: Bought new with stock Android One, Oreo. Few months later updated to Android One, Pie (official update). This caused big problems with wifi (connections constantly dropped and VERY slow downloads). Thought about reverting to Oreo, but decided to change to Lineage (which at the time was Oreo). So I downgraded from Android One Pie to Lineage 15 (Oreo). Generally worked OK, but with 3 big problems:
1. No sound during phone calls (I can't hear them, they can't hear me). Found a workaround involving editing the build.prop file (sorry, can't post link), but fix is temporary and needs regular re-boots.
2. Fingerprint sensor not working (no options to set fingerprint).
3. Camera app lost functionality related to dual lens.
I subsequently updated from LOS 15 (Oreo) to LOS 16 (Pie). Issues still there.
I wonder if I have some missing/incompatible vendor firmware components, but I don't really understand how this works. If I download and install, say, a LOS rom, does it contain EVERYTHING my phone needs to work, or do I need to already have some proprietary bits somewhere on the phone?
Is my best bet to start afresh (clean slate) and if so what would you recommend? Any help/insight greatly appreciated!
Hey pal, the Android Pie Firmware has some kind of anti-roll back protection, so when you install a non-pie ROM such as LOS 15 using Pie Firmware you'll have that problems like no-fingerprint, no incall audio, etc. If you install an Oreo Firmware with an Oreo ROM, you'll have fingerprint but no IMEI/Signal (and other problems).
You have 2 options:
1) Update your firmware to the latest Pie version and install a ROM like Pixel Experience or HavocOS (both Pie) and you're set, IMEI, Signal, Audio and Fingerprints will be working OK.
2) Install the latest Pie compilation using MiFlash and leave it stock.
Greetings.
Thanks for prompt reply! Can you spell something out for me please?
Regarding 1) I have already updated to LOS 16, which is Pie. Is that what you meant by "update your firmware to the latest pie"? Or do you mean a stock firmware? If the latter, then I could find a MIUI rom (from en.miui.com) but not Android One.
Regarding 2) Again, by "latest Pie compilation" do you mean the stock rom, like the MIUI mentioned above?
Thanks
