Internal memory, which is 16Gb, if you check, isn't 16Gb, because a portion of it is reserved. Part is reserved as a space for the normal operating system and apps to store their cache/etc. Part is reserved as space to hold a compressed image of the original os/apps from which to recover from??

Sorry it took this long.
/system/etc/
Jeez! There's like 40 files in there, but there is a wifi folder and a wifi.conf file.
Wifi folder has like 50 files, and the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
This file comparison is not the way to go. What rom are you using? Can you reflash that?

Im on stock vzw rom.

Have you considered flashing a new rom? It will replace any missing files or folders.
It isn't very hard to do, just a few people mess up the steps. Look in the development section and see if there are verizon roms, or verizon stock.
Otherwise, if you post your file list I will compare with mine, but that is a huge amount of work.

I have been considering on doing that but I haven't found any vzw stock roms, the only one I've seen around is the k-lean rom.
In essence if I have flash a stock rom I get everything back in place?
If you happen to see any vzw stock roms around please link me. I've searched around but they all seem to be down.

Arabic Support Update.

Hi to All.
I am new to Driod and this forum as well,
I bought Atrix From BELL.
So far I have flashed the ROM to the New OLYEM_U4_1.4.2 Telstra.
Rooted and Deoxed as well, I even got a Custom theme on it.
In short my story, I tried using the Arabic "Framework.jar" that is posted on one of the Dev-Forum on this site. My phone soft bricks.
Is there a better way to update the file. Or the file is just not compatible
What i have tried.
1 - Reflash > rooted > Deoxed > Arabic suport = Bricked ?
2 - Reflash > rooted > Arabic supprot = Bricked ?
Thank you

Anything

Yes, Please attache your original "Framework.jar" file for me.

Even though I forgot to change permissions once and it wasn't not anything severe like a soft brick, the fix just did not work until I modded the permissions and restarted.

I made sure the extensions were set RW-R-R . but I guess this Firmware does not like it.
I guess this is a sign to stop using this Arabic support.

PS:
Under windows ADB connects but cant get root access for some reason ?

Can you wait for few days. I promise i will make it work for you and i am trying to get the browser too. So if not today wait till tomorrow and it will work. If you reflash your device do not install anything just keep it Deoxed and rooted. So if we have any problem you do not lose your files.

[Q]My made custom ROM did not install correctly

I tried to make a ROM, and it is not installing properly.:crying:
I data-resetted everything and formatted system, but this ROM is not installing correctly because I had removed some system apps and also added a few of them. But after a reboot I saw the system apps which I removed.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

Can you post updater script you are using under [ hide ] tags?
Was your /system mounted before you flashed your rom?

first question, how did u make ur rom?
how did u make the zip file?
how are the files placed inside ur zip?

I think he just grab someone else's ROM and edited it as much as he wanted and then grab the Updater-script from Hell-lock and thinking "hey, this must be works!" and now, look the result. No one has success to make a Custom ROM without a kitchen (Editing the .zip).
If i helped you, Press the thanks button. don't say it

to be honest,
i never used kitchen to make my rom,
i had to code the updater script manually,
@OP.
you need to study the codes first and know what you are doing,
you can't build a house without proper procedures, same with ROM building,
you must learn to research and be patient when you fail,
it happens all the time,
in most instances the phone won't boot and what i always do is to go back and think over what went wrong and what must i do to resolve the issue,
we can help you as much as you can but please try to help yourself understand the situation a bit more.

Thanks for motivating me. I know what is the problem now. I did not mount /system before flashing?. Added that to my script... All working fine now.
@GermanyGSG-
How the heck could you create ROMs before kitchen was made .. Eh? Its a matter of bash and edify... No kitchen needed.

[Q] About customizing roms...

I dont have a PC so i've added files to the CM13 rom with ZArchiver. Is it still flashable?
Will it break everything or it will just refuse to flash?
I've added files to app, priv-app, permissions and framework.
I cant try on my HD2, bc usb is broken and doesnt have magdlr.

try it and see. if putting apks in /system/app or /system/priv-app, they need to be in their own folder I think.
backup first though.

Or that would be a kind of a douchebag move?
My HD2 is zombie-ish right now. I gotta buy a new motherboard... I found out that the broken USB ripped a part of it, and now there is no way to fix it, ever, bc there is literally a hole in the motherboard.
I went to a service and they told me that. They were able to reattach the charging pins, but not the PC connection pin.

I suppose it depends on what apks you are trying to add, whether it would be allowed to be posted here. some apps are copyright protected.
what exactly are you trying to do?

Stock 5.1.1 Sense 7 on my One M9.
Stock WM6.5 on my HD2.
Why does that matter tho? .-.
Is there any way to put MAGDLR on HD2 without a PC?
Anyway, just asked if adding a few apks to a rom (just adding files to a zip with ZArchiver) will break the flashing script or whatever. Like it will make it unusable. Or i dunno, make the phone bootloop or something...
I will not upload any link. Not gonna waste people's time with stuff that doesnt work.
Also, how do you delete a thread. I will like to delete this one.

It matters because cm13 on hd2 will not boot from wm6.5 because it uses 3.0.x kernel.
see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949671 for installing magldr from sdcard, not tried it myself.
You should be able to add stuff to the cm13 rom, it installs to sdcard partitions, worst result is it wont boot.
You can use the report button (triangle) and ask a friendly Mod to delete this thread at their discretion. Please tell us how you get on first though.

If the worst result is not booting, is totally fine.
About MAGDLR, i would just buy another HTC HD2 and replace the motherboard.

[MOD] [VR] [Dev] Samsung Gear VR on other devices.

Hey guys so last time I used it a few months ago this was how I got Samsung Gear VR working on my LG V20 rom. For those DEVs that would like to add this feature I thought we could all work together to get this on every device that is running 1440p screen just for quality reasons.
This is for devs only not a flash able zip.
Extract the contents and just copy and paste the info in the build prop.

Change Log
Version 1 - What has worked as of 4/4/17 on the LG V20 Ti-X Rom

Possible to slim it down (Apps)? To include 174Mb in the System is a bit much for that few Users who'd own a Gear VR. Maybe I'll be better if You provide it as flashable Zip. If You need help with that i could be Your Man!
BR and cool stuff btw!
De-odexing could be also a good Step besides pulling it from the System Image instead of dumping it from a running System. But just a suggestion....

Im about to compress those apps to see how much i can save but i need to finish installing a new os. If you want to make a zipable you can ill post it up and can givw u access to the google drive.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway:
Where do you copy the contents of the app-private folder
Are there any other instructions? I remember I had to get this to work on a rooted samsung and I thought there was suppose to be some service running for the gear vr software to kick off when the device is connected.

I will make a lovely flashable AROMA based ZIP this Weekend. I can also improve the Size a bit by using my optimized Compression methods. Think the Size isn't that important as standalone ZIP, but some Users have slow connections and bad Data Plans...
I don't own the Gear VR but things like that have to be supported! It's a step in the right direction (Android shouldn't be used to include OEM exclusive Features dear Samsung! Share them!)
BR

So I understand you copy it to app-private in data, but that doesnt give you the software. Does anyone. Have a zip with the required apks needed to actually launch the vr setup wizard?

200MB is not that much gain when most roms will have 500MB+ removed and the system portion would be un changed so free space would be sitting there to be taken up.

Oh so this has to be done before you even flash your phone, you can't add Gear VR functionality after your phone has already been flashed. Sorry I misunderstood.
It would be cool if this was a separate package that could be added to an existing phone with root access.

My way was just how to add ot to a none flashed rom if you throw these files in your system clear cache is should work also if you set the permissions correct

Would you still copy it to app-private in that situation? I tried that and it wiped the folders from the app-private, but did not install any of the applications.
Nougat 7.0 lg v20 sprint. Maybe I am better off installing your rom which will just have it working???

this is great news been trying to get this working on my S7 active ! tried boot.prop changes but no different
as its just software stopping it working, as hardware is pretty much identical ..
did try from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/gear-vr/port-gear-vr-software-to-android-device-t3540402
but couldnt get it to copy properly, so wouldnt work ..
once rooted, is it just a case of coping over, can this be done via say ES.Explorer ? ..
does this then enable the auto detection when pluging in ? and the touch pad and buttons too ? ..

This looks super interesting. I've got a V20 running AOSP & I'm going to play around with it after work

If you just copy and paste the folders inside the priv app folder think there's like 7 it will be just fine if you copy the priv app folder it might not merge and just replace. I had to factory reset for the apps to get all the correct permissions not sure why.
