So i am here with a new idea. A rescue.zip which can be used to rescue any android device which have a recovery like the famous cwm.
So here is it..
Some times we people screw up our android os like hell, and to reboot the device we usualy do a recovery flash of a new os, flash back our nandroid backup ( both on worst conditions) or even do permission fix, clean cache or dalvic cache( those in 'not that worse' conditions) . So thats are all the options we got. Rit?
Although flashing recovery backups, new roms can fix all, it will also eatup our apps, current setups, contacts, msgs, etc( in case we dont have backups) and will probably screw us. All we can do is say " WTF..WTF..WTF.."
SO here is my idea,
Find out the causes of what causes a reboot, non-boot, hang,fc etc.
And keep a zip that can be flashed through recovery, that has a solution for our problem. They may be including..
1) fix permission of system, data, and user data.
2) zipalign the apps
3) fix the default clock speed of processor
4) defragment memory
5) flash a new copy of su and busy box
6)wipe data or system or ext or cache or dalvic cache
7) flash a new copy of framework.res, system-ui.apk, settings.apk with default permissions( those files are kept in separate "custom" folder on the zip, so that end user can put their own files to that "custom" folder for flashing., the reason behind it is known to all, yap. Not all devices have them in common, every device have its own files)
These are all i got for now, pls post ur ideas and knowledge for any possible cure about any problem u faced/ cured. So that we can make it an ultimate rescue.zip that have a cure for 99% problems android os have. The rest 1% will go with a clean flash.( well we cant avoid that if we did something that bad).
So my plan is to use aroma installer( now on hard learning to find how it works). Throw in some scripts, files etc. Into the zip.
And since its not a device specific .zip file, i want to know how and why any problems are caused in any device( there are many common problems, but that is not what i ask for. I ask for device/os specific problems, and not for a problem that we can cure after booting, but for a problem that can make the device un-bootable) . So u people may help me to find those problems and cures for it. For my knowledge i have experience with wildfire and hd2.
Well i will keep this thread for a week or two, so that u can post ur knowledge, and info. after that i will release the file for u.
To the admin. Of the forum, pls keep this thread as announcement so that all can take a look.

good idea however there are SOOOO many variations of the files that would be needed, that basicaly it would be easier to consider what ever ROM you are using as the OMG_RECOVER.zip
Just my 2 cents.

Yuop bro, cause i think some people is very interest about Hyperion rom but so dificult to instal on their phone
I installed and it worked well. First I can connect to wifi but can't surf though, but after reboot 1 time, everything is fine. But now, I can't even connect to wifi, though I had rebooted so many times. Anyone can help? Should I flash other kernel like someone said or just wait for someone to fix the bug?
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English

Because someone said that he fixed that bug by changing to Savie 's 73 kernel, but I still want to stick with the default kernel of Hyperion, it 's also from Savie too, but Carl said it was specially for Hyperion or something like that guess I should wait then

before this htc 626 a32_ul phone i had nexus 7 (2013) 32gb tablet which was simple to root, and make use of my system as best i could, but without any access to sdcard to add extra storage space for apps and media i might like to store , i always thought i was half cheated out of the full potential of possible maximum use of the hardware i had paid for, now i have brought htc 626 a32_ul phone with 16 gb memory, i was thinking that is ok i root it like my nexus , but never realised the problem that s-on causes would cause me, and with the bloat ware that htc installs that i have no use off the memory free to use for apps is even far smaller than i had thought i would have, media i can store on sdcard and is only dependant on size of my sdcard, but the number of apps i can use is severally restricted by the limited internal memory,if i had known of this problem before purchase i would never have brought this phone, i like the phone , i am ok with its working speed, but with the amount of space taken up by bloatware that i have no use of ,i now wish i never brought this phone, it has driven me to learn lot more about android system in trying to root this phone and now feel lot more confidant in using adb and fastboot cmds and have even help couple people to recover their phones from bricked status in the process which has given me some small compensation . but really i would just liked simple purchase of phone and additional sdcard and install at will what apps i liked with plenty space on sdcard for music and films or tv recordings i would like to see, and also be able to remove or move to sdcard any bloat ware that i dont much care for, the high use apps i would like to keep on main memory and those apps i dont use often moved to sdcard is simple really if i dont use much i dont much care about start-up time , but if i use often then i would like to start up asop.
this is how os should work for the benefit of the user.
But android is being designed to force people to buy the high end phones and tablets with large internal memory so they can maximise profits,
su or superuser program is like 100 kb of space yet even so i paid for hardware i am not allowed use of super user privilege . so i am sold a phone hardware that im free to choose what phone provider i want , but am not allowed to use my phones hardware as i want until i void my warranty and install a custom rom that will give me access to my root system even so i own the hardware outright to use as i want, i not free to use the open os as i want, is weird situation . a bit ilike being sold a kettle to make tea , but you are not allowed to make coffee because of limitation imposed by the manufacturer, and if u do make coffee with such machine you invalidate your warranty.
also with htc 626 ?? suffix x, w p, h , s,g all having different chipsets we are let in a minefield of matching up boot recovery and root,
regards frank gambit
my thoughts on this htc 626 ( is so many pref-axis ) prefix wtf would be more appropriate universal prefix appropriate to this phone.

that is my point that link is for htc626s custom rom which is a qualcomm 210 chipset, my htc626 is a32_ul chipset and i think is also called htc626x in asia the custom recovery rom i need to root my phone i have found link too but is Chinese site that u need be knight ranked to download but i dont know how to get to knight rank,
they have a link to a file named twrp-2.8.7.0-a32_ul.rar the site is ai-development.org http://www.ai-development.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8345 , so i waiting till i get knight rank and free to download but as this sight is in Chinese and doesn't work correctly in gogle translate it is hard to navigate to do the task to gain this knight ranking thing.
Not the only one
I found this site as well when researching a way to get TWRP for this specific Desire 626 model. I made an account on the website but it is too hard to decipher how I am even meant to earn levels or coins etc. I tried but was unable to get far.
I THINK I have 10 coins but I still need the lvl 5 trainee knight thing and am just classed as a lvl 1 civilian. God darn. >_>

Managed to get custom recoveries for it
So I managed to get two image files and when doing the fastboot boot command, it didn't display the error for not having a dtb as the recovery is rebuilt for this device (as far as I can see anyway). I flashed each file as well to try each of them that way instead of the boot command as the boot command just froze the phone and both gave the same result. It will boot into recovery mode but will have a blank screen and not do anything.
I'll link the files download links, as well as the source as to where I downloaded the files here below. All credit should go to the creators of the files.
Try them out and see if you can get them working yourself.
As a note, I am unable to post links due to the account type I have as it is now so put mediafire before those links with a forward slash. Also, one is for TWRP 2.8.0.0 and one is 2.8.7.0. Anyway...
?ubuhbdj0ygdkcqb
and
?bviw88iyrgmyef8
Source: type twrp a32_ul into google and it will be on the website known as ai-development
Good luck and let me know if you make any progress with these.

I know its been awhiel, but do you ahve the files still? all the links seem to be dead
Want to try Ubuntu Touch but don't wanna lose your data or get into the hassless of flashing it through Ubuntu on PC? Well, I got you covered . Although, do note that it is basically a backup of the ROM, which i just booted into and backed up. So you will be setting it up from scratch just like a fresh install/flash.
A message from the UBPorts Community Manager:-
Hi, Community manager for Ubports.
We have calls and headphones working internally but we aren't sending that out yet, the reason why is because the device over heats, currently the device is usable for hours, if we uploaded the code for calls you wouldn't want to put it too your ear.
We are trying to get it fixed though, before the end of this month is what we're aiming for, GPS, Bluetooth etcetera still wont work for a little while but it'll be useable for calls at least.
Also this port isnt just a consept, the port is real and in time will work with all of the hardware.
Its something to note that only this month has the developer decided to take time of work to work on ubports, so he hasn't had much time before now.
Thank you for the feedback.
Obviously some of the feedback doesn't fall on us such as slow app times and how many apps are in the app store, but we are hoping that porting ubuntu to alternative devices may get more developers looking at and creating apps for ubuntu phones.
I hear if this bug was fixed then apps would start much quicker https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/ bug/1552341
Source: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...on-opo-using-twrp.431640/page-2#post-14642747
Now, I've personally tested it by switching to an Android ROM, wiping the 4 Partitions and then restoring this backup, so yes I can confirm that it works!
What you need:-
TWRP 2.8.6.0
The TWRP Backup
WinRAR (32 bit or 64 bit)
Instructions:-
1. Download the Backup and TWRP
2. Flash TWRP, I'd recommend using the official TWRP 2.8.6.0 to avoid any issues.
3. After downloading the backup(5 Files), copy them all in the same folder and extract the one without any .z extension. I splitted them to avoid any issues with files bigger than 4GB, because the backup is 4.01GB in size.
4. After extracting you'll find a single TWRP folder, connect you device and copy it to the main directory of your device's storage, Click "Yes" if it asks for replacing any files.
5. Boot into TWRP and Backup your ROM(Optional)
6. Go back to the main TWRP Home screen->Press Wipe->Advanced Wipe->Mark Dalvik Cache,System,Data and Cache (Make sure you don't tick Internal Storage or USB-OTG).
7. While in TWRP, go to the main home screen and press Restore, there select "Ubuntu Touch" and leave all the 4 Boxes checked. Then, Swipe the button on the bottom and wait. The Numbers won't get updated but don't worry, it is getting restored and can take around 3-5 minutes.
7. Restore the backup. It will stay on the 1+ logo for a while so have some patience.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, so don't point the finger at me for messing up your device.
Screenshots: http://goo.gl/dNgCgd
A little Review:-
UI: 8/10. I was really bored with the same old UI of Android, and Ubuntu Touch's UI felt like a good change. The "No buttons required" thing where there's no Home, Back or Menu button might feel weird at first and takes a little getting used to, but in the end provides a refreshing experience.
Stability: 9/10. Its as stable as it gets, No random reboots, No Apps crashing(cause there wasn't any app to use).
Performance: 7/10. Well, there's actually nothing on the App Store to assess the performance but general swiping through apps and menus with more than 8 of em open was smooth for the most part. Webpages load up really quick in the stock browser that comes with it. Although I did notice the phone heating up way too much, reaching temperatures equivalent to what my phone is at after playing heavy games like Asphalt 8, etc. for over 30 mins.
Features: 5/10. Since this is just like a 'Demo' to showcase that Ubuntu Touch running on an Android Device is possible, there aren't many things that work. The Camer, Bluetooth, Calling, 4G(Couldn't test 3G but 2G works), Audio via Headphones(Speakers work fine). Calling doesn't work, Calls fail from my side and when I call from the other side, it keeps ringing, indicating that the call is going on but nothing shows up on the device, where does the call go? I don't know..
Miscellaneous Features: 5/10. The App store on Ubuntu Touch is worse than that of Windows Phone, and believe me when I say that cause I've used Windows Phone as my only device for more than an year. Surprisingly, it has the option to just add a Google Account without having to flash any GApps or something. Then, there's no way you can copy files back and forth without using ADB, so this doesn't feel like an everyday Joe would love to have.
Battery Life: 2/10. Its terrible. Period. I went to sleep with battery at 43%(No flight mode and with Wi-Fi on) and woke up in 4hrs just to find sitting at 5% with the phone switching off in the next few seconds. So yeah, its terrible even with normal usage you'll find it worse than any other Android ROM.
Conclusion: Its still a Work In Progress but at least it boots up, this shows that they might be a little serious about it cause they also have 'Developer' builds uploaded on their website daily. Anyways, I like the concept of having something different from Android, I like where its going and I hope it reaches there..
do you know if this will work with multirom ?

Nope, I won't recommend doing that cause I was on Jgcaap's CM13 before it and had data and cache on F2FS but it never went past the 1+ logo, so I had to come back to ext4 to make it work..

Yep. Go to twrp folder on you internal storage. Then if you already copy Ubuntu backup, you can see two folder named like "2628482"(in twrp-BACKUPS). Now you must cut Ubuntu folder and paste to folder with your backups.. It's all )
A message from the UBPorts Community Manager:-
Hi, Community manager for Ubports.
We have calls and headphones working internally but we aren't sending that out yet, the reason why is because the device over heats, currently the device is usable for hours, if we uploaded the code for calls you wouldn't want to put it too your ear.
We are trying to get it fixed though, before the end of this month is what we're aiming for, GPS, Bluetooth etcetera still wont work for a little while but it'll be useable for calls at least.
Also this port isnt just a consept, the port is real and in time will work with all of the hardware.
Its something to note that only this month has the developer decided to take time of work to work on ubports, so he hasn't had much time before now.
Thank you for the feedback.
Obviously some of the feedback doesn't fall on us such as slow app times and how many apps are in the app store, but we are hoping that porting ubuntu to alternative devices may get more developers looking at and creating apps for ubuntu phones.
I hear if this bug was fixed then apps would start much quicker https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/ bug/1552341

You can actually let multirom app to install it for you! Search multirom thread.
Hi, if I make the backup and then the system wants to start, he tells me that no os is installed. What is the reason for this?
Link for Backup is down.
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.

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.

if you copy this into your rom flash it you will have access to samsung gear vr on your phone.

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.
