Are you trying to pull the system folder?
And the easy simple way to start is delete bloat, add stuff here and there, theme stuff in the framework-res.apk file, add scripts, turn it into Optimus Prime

what exactly are you trying to do?
---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------
if your in windows, cd into the folder with adb and run the line "adb pull /system" to pull the system folder.

It pulls it to the directory you are in, when you do the pull.
For example, if you are in desktop, (c:\users\comp_name\desktop) it will put the file there. If you are on the root of your c drive, it'll put it there.
So, look for the directory you are in, in command prompt, and look there for the file.

[Nexus 7 not taking 4.1.2. update]

Can get my nexus 7 to take the 4.1.2. os update? I loaded Clock Work Recovery and can see the error message? See attached .txt. file.
Can anyone help resolve why, I've tried about 50 different ways and no cigar:crying:

Patching BrowserProviderProxy.odex failed. Get the bootloader, system.img, boot.img from the 4.2 factory image and flash those via fastboot. Afterwards, boot clockwork recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.

You probably added the stock Ics browser for flash or something. Part of that procedure is to rename the file BrowserProviderProxy.odex to a backup name like BrowserProviderProxy.odex1. All you need to do is rename it back to the proper name. You can use something like root explorer or command line.

I had the same problem with es explorer. So I went to settings - root settings - unchecked each option and then rechecked it. Then i went back to the system - apps folder and renamed it - no problems. Good luck.

how do I debug app on customers phone

I understand now that logcat requires root for Android 4.1+ is that right?
I would like some way to debug my app on someone's phone remotely, in the past I have got them to install alogcat and send me the output, but since I've upgraded to 4.1 I've never got it to work.
Whats the best technique to obtain syslog logcat data when my app fails, the data which I see on the play store isn't enough detail for me to resolve or identify the problem.
1 user is getting this error:
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint

as far as I know no-one else is seeing this issue,
They have google maps installed but I don't know what else to check other that get access to the logcat from there phone.
thanks

They can still download the Android SDK and then type
Code:
adb shell
logcat

I was hoping an easier method would be available.

you can ask them to mail you dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz from /data/log/ .I think astro can copy that to sdcard.Or else you could run
Code:
pull /data/log/dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz /sdcard
from any terminal app to copy that to sdcard.

Nope...data is mounted as RW by default and more over you need root only to write to a partition mounted as R(users should also be considered).You can even copy system files with astro without root. But Its been so long since I did that and don't know how it has changed with 4.1 and 4.2.But no harm in trying

In 4.x you need root to access the logs from an app so I do not think that this is possible.
On 2.3 when my phone was not rooted I was not able to access /data at all.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.delta.Info .This app targets 4.0-4.2 and it mails the same file without root.So it will work.

It does need root. Well, every app can get logs the old way and they will get logs, but just those logs with the user id of the app. No more logs.
Just one more thing I could think of: Maybe the developer of the ROM changed that code in the Android sources of his ROM.
Or when the app is installed, the ROM automatically runs that command:
Code:
pm grant com.delta.Info android.permission.READ_LOGS
I will test it on my phone and tell you the result. If it does not work, it is a feature of the ROM.

FYI I'm the dev of the app .And there is no root,no extra permissions,Rom is not modded (except for a file which needs for the app to work.But it doesnt have any relation with logs).
If you still have doubt,Just create an email indent with the log file in /data/log as an extra data in Async task and try

My code:

Rollback 3.2.7 just popped in... What can I do to help?

Hi!
I've a rollback file on my Kindle currently waiting for downgrading.
The file just popped in and waiting that I'll charge my kindle.
Is there anything I can do for the community to support with information and/or files?
I am on stock 4.5.2 with, of course, no root.

no it will be gone from there once used it deletes it
Enter Recovery and do a backup of your stock lot
next build a ROM slot any will do
restore backup to ROM slot
download a copy of ROM Toolbox lite And install on running rom slot

Correct! I can read and(!) follow

open rOM Toolbox,scroll right to build.prop Editer and open
Scroll left and create backup
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------
now open root explorer or file explorer
go to SD card rOM Toolbox build.prop backup file and insert the file that you downloaded
---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------
now go back to backup and restore in rOM Toolbox for build.prop and restore the file that you downloaded here's where it gets hairy
whatever you do do not let it try to install whatever it downloads if you keep touching and using the tablet it will not attempt it on its own it must be at idle.after you reboot go to settings and check version number it should have the new build.prop file and check for updates. I'm hoping it will attempt to redownload the downgrade file to cashe then you must immediately remove it from device and delete that ROM slot.
it may not even like the swap and not even boot in that case that's why we had safestrap installed. It will not work just delete the slot and move on with life

Ok! Did that, installed the downloaded file and did a reboout.
System works, but no text is visible, only icons.
Next to ask for a update? But how as i can't read anything...

Done! Back in business

now it doesn't really matter how you want to try to do it but what we need to do is edit your file to accommodate the newer version numbers
you can either go to those backup files and swap their and restore again or use the backup file for reference and do it line by line in the prop build editor

[MOD]Add Face Unlock to any ANDROID

ADD FACE UNLOCK TO ANY ANDROID​
NOTE:- I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE​
So finally i have discovered a way to add face unlock to any android by using the Google Smart Lock feature...
This feature is available in most of the android devices:good:...
There are two methods of doing THIS ​1. Using ROOT2. Without root(using adb)
LETS START​
1. USING ROOT
-download gapps compatible with your android(gapps must be nano or above)
-install ''RAR'' to your phone
-extract gapps.zip to your phone[make a separate folder(optional)]
-open the extracted files and open GApps folder
-here you will find 4 files (1.facedetect-lib-arm.tar.lz, 2.faceunlock-all.tar.lz, 3.faceunlock-common.tar.lz, 4.faceunlock-lib-arm.tar.lz)
-open facedetect-lib-armcommonlib and copy libfilterpack_facedetect.so to systemlib and set the permissions
-similarlly copy all the files and if required create new folder with the permissions and paste the files from all the 4 files
-EX:- copy Face Lock folder to system/app and set permissions
-reboot your device
-open settings>security>smart lock... here you will find Trusted Face option
-ADD YOUR FACE ND ENJOY....!!!
NOTE:- Permissions details will be in second post...
2. Without root(using adb)
I will be updating the fourm later with full adb method details...
BUT, if you want to give it a try... then learn some adb commands for pushing files to system folder and setting up the commands...
Your would have to one by push the files and the folders and set the specific permissions...
***In the screenshot section, the first screenshot is of setting permissions for file and the second one is for setting permissions for folder***
NOTE:- I used es file explorer for doing this modification.
NOTE:- I tried this on a700fd on stock touchwiz android 6 rom... and it worked perfectly:laugh:
***If this helped you, please Press THANKS***
***For any query, REPLY***

Yes but i would recommend you to use the root method bcz in adb method you have to side load everything and then give specific permissions...

I have tried root method and is not working for me. I'm on Havoc OS Android AOSP 9.0 on a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 device.
Your guide isn't clear at all but I think that I made all the steps. When I reboot the phone, folder with files added in system/app are missing and of course the face unlock option at Smart Lock menu is not present. Seems that Android erase the files by itself, don't know why.
Thanks anyway.

maybe this is a newb response but if the files aren't in android 10 it shouldn't matter since this mod is putting the files there. So the files will be there. Maybe the dev that started this thread or someone with more experience can chime in here because thats exactly why im here. They removed the faceunlock framework from opengapps and i figure if they can remove it then it can be added back. I kinda feel like something will still be missing if you do this mod alone on android 10 though. I would like to know what exactly they removed from opengapps and then compare that with the files in this mod and maybe the 2 combined should get it working. Thats the line of thinking that im on. Sometimes it's that simple. I mean look at how many features can be turned on with flags and simple build.prop edits. I'm just not sure exactly how the face detect and faceunlock was removed and i need that little piece of information to grasp the scope of the problem a little better. Anybody Tried this on lineage 17 or any other android 10/q rom yet?:silly:

I don't want to root my device but I need face unlock in my Mi A2 device.

pixel experience （android Q） has this face lock feature, so I guess maybe we could extract from it

Welp, OpenGapps does not include the face unlock anymore so RIP :/
