What is boot.apache-xml.oat? - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi everyone. Recently i've flashed the last version of Porter 8.1 for my G5 Plus. And my bank app found out a "virus" file located in /system directory. This file is boot.apache-xml.oat. The app is suggesting to delete this file but he is in /system so i think i can't delete it without root if i want. I could not find any info about this file. It seems like it is a ROM file. Do anyone know what it is? Should i be worried about? Thanks

[Q] Is it spossible to chnge the system.ext2 file?

Hi,
I really like all the Android builds that use the Desire ROM as I really like the HTC Sense. However, my language isn't really supported there (The fonts exist but the formatting is bad).
I have some files that should fix the formatting, but they are meant for the original HTC Desire and are installed by going to the ROM Manager/Recovery Mode and then choosing an option called: "Install Zip from SD Card".
Since I can't go to this ROM Manager nor get into Recovery mode with the HD2 Builds I am looking for an alternate way to change the system files on the Android build I am using.
The thing is that I am having difficulties doing so.
At first I tried using EStrongs File Explorer to get root access and copy over the new files I want to change but it gave me an error that it failed.
After I couldn't make it work I started looking for ways to open and edit the system.ext2 file in Windows.
I couldn't find any program or driver that would let me change the files, but only view them so I decided to install Linux and do it from there.
I used VMware workstation to install Ubuntu on my system.
On Ubuntu I mounted the system.ext2 following the mentioned instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8001443&postcount=8
It mounted okay but it said there was 0 bytes free when I tried to overwrite the files I wanted to change.
In addition it gave me permission errors, the error was that I did not have permission to copy the files.
I am not that familiar with Linux and I tired googling for answers but couldn't find anything useful.
I would appreciate if anyone can explain how to do it, or direct me to somewhere with more details as I'm kinda stuck at the moment.
The files I wanna change are:
/framework/framework.jar
/app/.DS_Store
/app/Gallery3D.apk
/app/Mms.apk
And a few font files to /fonts
Thanks a lot!
It is best to mount the ext2 file as you suggest but instead of trying to modify the file, copy the contents into a new folder and use the genext2fs command to recreate the system.ext2 file!
Hey man, it worked perfectly.
Thanks a lot!!
By the way, is there a recommended file size for the system.ext2? Or should I just keep the original size?
Is it worth setting it bigger? Will it benefit somehow?

build.prop

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone would be so nice to upload a backup of the original, unchanged build.prop for the a500 tablet... I've made a few changes to mine but failed to backup the original. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a dropbox link to my unmodified file

thank you so much for the file!
location?
where is the location of the build.prop file on the system? I need to replace mine with the orig so i can update. but dont know where it goes.
/system/build.prop
if you dont know where it is.. it probably isnt changed as you would have changed it yourself, the netflix hacked apps dont
how to edit
I have mounted my system dir as r/w and I am unable to rename the build.prop file. I found the orignal backup in the same place as build.prop.backup. I just want to rename them temporarily so I can get the OS update just released. How do I rename the files. I have ES File Explorer installed. and system dir mounted as r/w.
Can anyone walk through a newbie to this on how to change the build.prop to let the market know I am not on an Acer A500 but a Samsung Galaxy S or other device that is supported on the App I am trying to download? (already paid for and working on my droid inc).
Thanks.

.MD5 file help

hello ,
Am using galaxy ace and i want to change the default app icons [like My files gallery...etc].I downloaded a copy of my firmware and i was able to extract system.rfs from the md5 file which contained the apk for the music player...etc using 7z,i changed the icons to my custom icons...now I am not able to move the system.rfs to the MD5 file using 7z...does any one know anyway of doing this
P.S Does editing the files do harm when flashing...will this be succesfull?
If you edit rfs files on pc then its corrupted
So make changes in the apk and paste it in /system/app
You can make a new rfs fine too but that needs root and and the need to know which partition is mapped to /system
so can i just place the apk directly on phone through root explorer...but i tried that with an system app [you tube] i dont use ,i changed the icon and placed the apk using root explorer...after that it vanished..i tried rebooting and installing the apk....but it wont install...

Can someone do me a favor!

Please I really need someone with root and didn't deleted some files do this for me!
If you are not sure you are the person, do it anyway, maybe it can be useful!
Ok. Run the file attached (remember to unzip first) and see if there is 2 files on the folder (after you ran it!), the files are "recovery-from-boot.p" and "install-recovery.sh". If you found those files, please upload them to me, as I download it I give you thanks and mention you on my Thread LordAIOTool, I need the files to use on it!
Thanks
I'm not on Windows, but looking at your batch file, it looks like all you're doing is pulling /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, yes?
If that's the case, here's those two files from my MZ604.

Ok, thanks

FYI recovery-from-boot.p only works for a specific boot images (namely the stock one that is shipped from google).
If you try to use this file on any other boot image it will fail.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to your #10 AIO Tool! Hope you fixed the Mount SD card issue.

[Guide] Xposed without recovery Locker Bootloaders

Okay so I just tried to install xposed on my Xperia Z and it was a success. All you need to do is be rooted. For that, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006. The procedure mentioned here worked like a charm for me.
Once you are rooted, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Download the .zip file and the .apk file. Install the .apk file like any other normal .apk file. Unzip the .zip file using any file explorer (I used root explorer). After you've unzipped the files, all you have to do is move and replace them in the system folders and assign correct permissions.
It's not working for me, the installer keeps saying Xposed isn't currently active
I got boot looped with this solution...bummer!

Would it be possible to explain the file copying process in more detail. My Xperia Z crashed whilst copying and overwriting the files into the LIB and now is in a boot loop. Copying the appropriate files to BIN and FRAMEWORK worked fine.

Done! Its working great! In order to work need to set the correct permissions in relevant files.

Did you copy the FRAMEWORK, BIN and LIB files over. My Xperia rebooted whilst copying the LIB files over and the went into bootloop.
Busy re-installing lollipop as we speak.
I have installed the files separately (one by one) in the relevant system's paths

I reinstalled the 5.0.2 firmware. Then did the KingRoot and replaced with SuperSU. The I tried to install Xposed followin the above steps and copied file by file like you did, and if I copy the 3rd file in LIB over, the phone reboots and goes into bootloop.

Same, although it rebooted just fine. I then copied the files again, no reboot but also no Xposed.

I'm in a bootloop again, so off to re-install lollipop...again. Becoming quite a pro at installing and rooting it now This time around, I had a clean install of 5.0.2 without any updates from Play Store. Also did a KingRoot and the replaced it with Super SU before trying to install Xposed. Not sure how @alexfra got it installed...lucky bum!
Okay do the following, copy the LIB files in the root of the system folder and assign the correct permissions. After you've done that, cut and paste the LIB files in to the LIB folder. That will work for sure. Check images for further assistance. Also check image of Gravity Box attached. Everything running great. Hope it works for you too.

Succeeded with my Xperia Z on official Lollipop ! Thanks !
To all who have troubles : take good care to the PERMISSIONS !!! If you don't change permissiosn IT WON'T WORK !
For LIB folder files use the method described before :
- extract to /system
- change permission to rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
- move files to /system/lib
For bin folder files permission are rwxr-xr-x (or 0755 in octal) and for framework folder it's rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
If you don't do EXACTLY this, Xposed won't work !

I did this on my third try over the weekend. Copied the LIB files into system, changed the permissions and the moved the files one by one. Reboot and bootloop occured when moving libart.so.
1) What file manager did you use? I used ES File in root explorer mode.
2) Did you move file by file, or move the files all at once or per folder?
3) Do you remember any specific order when moving the files? I just went alphabetically through the folders.
4) Must the .props file also be copied that is in the zip?
5) Did you do a clean install to Lollipop, or was it an upgrade from KK?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your help guys! I figured out what the problem was for me. There were some Xposed files in my lib folder already, I assume from my installation on KitKat (I did not do a clean upgrade). So I removed those, rebooted and presto! Good to have Xposed again

Do you know what the files were so I can check?
Should I not install the Xposed installer APK until I have copied the zipped files in?

Go to /system/lib and search for all the files that are also in the lib folder in the zip and remove them. I already had the Xposed installer installed when I did it, in fact I used it to reboot the system.
I have done,,thanks for guide sir,,

Can anybody comment on which file manager they used to do the copying and setting of permissions and successfully install Xposed? I see the OP used Root Explorer. I personally use ES File Explorer with root mode enabled, but I am thinking that maybe the issue I keep having when copying the files is due to ES File Explorer and maybe I should try Root Explorer.
