I was Trying to Mod \system\framework\android.policy.jar For Enabling Long Press Menu to Kill App
But while trying to replace the file using Solid Explorer my phone got Restarted
And ended up in Boot Loop :crying:
Lucky I Had a Nandroid Backup of 20th August.
Restoring Backup had fixed the Boot Loop
But I lost many of my mods
Its my fault
I Should have Created a Backup
Does anyone knows why replacing the file caused the Boot Loop ?
And if I'm not asking for too much Could anyone be kind enough to mod my android.policy.jar For Enabling Long Press Menu to Kill App ?
Original android.policy.jar is attached to this
What ROM are you using?

WOW ,I never seen a girl is interested in developing!
The problem was that you're editing an important file of android os. You can't edit that file when using phone ,you have to replace file through recovery and set correct permissions to file.
So you need to create an update.zip (I can do this if you're not in hurry)
Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk 2
What tutorial have you used? Can you provide a link?
Also, an update zip is not required. You can use AROMA File Manager in recovery to replace the file, and use its built-in terminal to chmod/ chown it.

Do you know what ?
Most of my friends mocks me Just because I'm into all these stuff.
When ever i talks like non-stop with my friends, then someone will give me a Phone or Laptop & they will say like "Laura take this, now go and sit in that corner and do you stuff with this".
Its actually Sad.
That hurts me little bit.
But i simply laugh at that.
They don't know that Its hurting me.

I understood that when my phone got restarted.
So, i thought i would just use Aroma File Manager to copy the file in Recovery.
But unfortunately Aroma File Manager was not Starting.
Because i forgot to rename it to "aromafm.zip"
last time when i updated it, its file name was "aromafm-1.90.zip".
Just another Stupidity of Mine..
That's why i had to restore my nandroid backup
otherwise i could have used Aroma File Manager to copy the Original android.policy.jar and avoid Boot Loop

Unfortunately, I found out you could fix the problem without losing data ,asking me how? I'll tell you(bad news ,yea?)
You could access recovery right?so you could do these to make your ROM back to life:
create nandroid backup from the unbootable ROM ,do wipes ,flash new ROM ,updating recovery(as you said dear laura) +make files ready to flash(move or what ever)
Then restore the defective ROM and flash file (android.policy.jar) ....
That's it, everything works again without losing any thing! Sorry if I made you sad again :banghead:
Plus ,are you sure "killing via back button" option doesn't existing in settings /developing (named as " stop app via long press back button ")???? Cause almost all of custom Roms have this feature.

The file manager can have any name. You just install it like any other zip.
From the recovery file manager, try replacing that jar again, and use the terminal included in the file manager(menu > terminal) to chmod the replaced jar file.

In PhilZ Touch Recovery i have to do the following steps for Aroma File Manager Support
Download Aroma File Manager from its Home Page
Get the 1.90 version and name the file aromafm.zip
Put the aromafm.zip in clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip in external or internal sdcards
In recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager menu or double tap any part of the screen outside menus

If you don't create a thread for your Rom then you'll never know it'll be popular or not.most of girls don't like cyanogen cause of color less UI , but you know what do girls exactly like
Ps.How do you create build.prop? I mean some serial numbers or build numbers should not change to fake num. Right?

You need to update edify script according to rom you have flashed on your phone. Step 5 is just that. Open supreme, go to menu and update edify then point it to your Rom zip on your Intel our external card where ever you have it saved.

Getting late and I have to work in the morning but I will put something together about how to use zipthemer. I have used it on several phones and once you get it working, you can do a bunch of things with it. Create themes, custom boot animations, revert.zips. You can also take pieces from different themes and package theme all together into one update.zip with an undo.zip just in case. I'll put it together in the morning.
I just figured it out...
Go to Zip Themer
Click on +Theme
Click on the green arrow and navigate to the zip file you want to use
Click on build it! then select if you want it to create a revert flash able zip
After it's done building the flashable file go into recovery mode and flash the file zipthemer created (it's not in a folder).
Fix permissions
Reboot

Bingo.
It also works with Metamorphs too (if anyone needs some, I have a ton-just PM me). Say you want to revamp your whole status bar.
All you do it hit the +Theme and find your metaporphs (in zip form), and 1 by 1 add them in (*tip if doing this make sure the status bar itself it #1, if you are changing transparency or color. Then everything will build on top of it).
Now that you have all the morphs in there, click Build It (it is always prpbably the best idea to make the Undo.zip as well, just in case).
+Output just tells Zipthemer where to put the finished product.
Flash into recovery and install (I always wipe cache too). Don't like the finished product, reboot into recovery and flash the undo.zip and no harm no foul.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong, but no matter what steps I take, when I flash the file created by zipthemer, nothing gets changed. It still has the regular animation that came stock on the rom.
Same here I don't know if its the Chaos animation that is similar to the stock one possibly? I did exactly what he said and im getting same stock animation, once i get home i'll try to download another one.

Ok, I have been trying for a while now to change the HTC lock rings and there is a really cool thread on here by mohit1234: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262990, anyway it has a heap of lock rings. Originally I could not put them on as he made them for a different phone model. So then I uploaded my fusion.apk and sent it to him. He made me custom lock rings with both the Earth and the Captain America Shield. So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". But whenever I try to copy it the phone either crashes and restarts or says copy succesful and nothing happens. This also happens when I copy a droidsansfallback.ttf (modded with the emoji icons). But the font works when it says successful. Does anyone know what is happening? Mohit1234 also suggested to push using adb, would this help at all?

Without that patch, you can't muck about with /system
Total Crashing
Ok, I flashed a zip designed for my phone with the kernel you suggested, and my phone crashed twice (again) when copying the fusion.apk and the droidsansfallback.ttf doesn't even work when I copy it any more. Also when I plug it into my PC and choose "mount as hard disk" my phone crashes and reboots. So I am thinking I should just start again. I think I am going to flash hasoon200's "stock, rooted, deodexed" ROM.
I have tried to install this thing like 4 times, it is in my /system/lib/modules but I can't get it working. I have tried copying droidsansfllback.ttf modded with emoji into the /systom/fonts folder but when I restart it is reverted back to the old one. And seeing as I am new to this I can't decipher the instructions on how to install this.

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.

Ok, aroma does work (I tried it with an emoji modded droidsansfallback.ttf) so that means that the fusion.apk is stuffed up. I have downloaded a desire x system dump and I am going to ask the guy to try and do it to that fusion.apk, thanks for the help everyone

Check your PM... I post a modded zip for you.
It's nothing wrong with the zip file that you posted. It flashed ok on my ROM
Your problem I guess is due to the stock ROM that you have where you do not have busybox installed.
So I mod the updater-script so it can be installed without busy box.

TWRP - mount - mount system
I have made this script for removing bloatware easily on Most gingerbread phones(Samsung mainly)
Note: Bloatware are the apps that are useless . It might be differnent for different people. But this apps removes mostly all the apps and leaves your mobile with minimalist amount of apps that make your device run faster and better. I have been using this script for mostly all roms and it works well. It Makes your work a lot easier by just deleting a lot of apps in seconds.
So Give it a try... Dont wait much
Warning: this app will remove a lot of apps and widgets so you might like to have a nanodroid backup ready.

Its just a simple command that is repeated for a number of apps example : delete("/system/app/BuddiesNow.apk");
I dont know what kind of source i have to give here.But i think that If someone creates a php file he would not want to thank microsoft or the maker of .php files because its open source and same goes for android , i just repeated a command over and over that i learned i dont think i need to put credits as " i wanna thank google for making android , xyz for making flashing scripts" Because ITS OPEN SOURCE but because you reminded me i took some info from here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AulpDQBL_oTOdDRIbnV5b0UyQTd0TDNZSFBKYXJ1blE&gid=0 I dont know who created this or from where this info is gathered.

Thanks,
Because i had a bloatware remover integrated into my s-rom too.
Tip:
Be sure to add a script to fix permission mismatches. It's likely if the app is already installed the OS doesn't delete the dalvik and the 2nd time around when you decide to install it again you'll get FC's

No problems mate..
Edit: Updated the installation procedure
great work!
@op It would be nice if you have posted the names of the apps which the script would remove. I know that we can see what apps are removed by reading the updater-script, But you could have posted it in op

Thank you very much for this script... :laugh: I needed this.. Was fed up of removing all those unnecessary applications manually.. :highfive:
Here is a .zip where you can flash all your apps in one fell swoop.
This is not my work but something Silesh made for me. I don't think he will mind me sharing it.
I use it all the time and it saves me tons of time not having to install my apps manually.
All you need is WinZip
Just put all your apk files into the data/app folder
and flash away.
What I do is flash the rom and fully boot it first,
then I go back into recovery and flash this .zip.
Boom, all my apps installed. Very nice!
I put just one apk in there. Clean Brower, just so it will work and I can post it here.
Another trick is, using Root Explorer on you phone, just copy your data/app folder from your rom
Then replace that app folder in this .zip and all your apps will be in there.
The advantage to doing this is even when you update or add new apps your apps from the playstore or other, the updated apks will end up in this flashable .zip.
Just make sure when using WinZip when you "add files" and add the app folder you drag it into the data folder. (first delete the app folder that is already in there.)
Again all credit goes to Silesh
Just thought I'd share this.
..
Thanks :good:
Nice to have. Thanks for sharing.
Very good!
Thanks for you. It really works.
Please, can you show, how I can use your zip for another devices? May be for I9000?

It should work on other devices the same.
It flashes all your apps to data/app folder which is used on any Android device.
Obviously not for windows or apple.

Yes thanks.
I have a couple other apps that create flashable zips
But none work as good as the script Silesh has made.
One has an aroma installer but it also has alot of bugs.
Copying my data/app folder into Silesh's .zip works flawless for me.

Aroma Installer
Here is an apk that basically does the same thing.
You can use it to backup and reflash all your apks in recovery at the same time.
This one uses an aroma installer which is nice because you can check or uncheck only the apps you want to install.
It will also do system apps.
Not my work. Had this kicking around from a older phone.
Seems to work fine on the Mega.
Just sharing.

OK so I have taken the leap with this phone. For the first time I have installed a custom ROM, I have the rooted, Deoxed and xposed version from Paul. I managed to get a reboot loop when playing with xposed but fixed it but it has made me a bit wary.
I want to get rid of a few stock apps like the file manager (I like ES file explorer), music player (both Google and the stock player), backup, and a few others.
Research has led me to believe I can use ES to delete the .APK's but this is getting outside my comfort zone a bit and I don't want to delete anything that I actually need. Do other APPs rely on the honor file manager for example?
Advice and pointers too real idiot noob guides would be handy.
Thanks

@SaulBee ... Go to the topic "honor 5X ROMS, Kernels, Recoveries & Other Development". Then scroll down to the thread "(SCRIPT)(TWRP) Stock ROM Debloat for KIW L24, L22, L21 (kiwi)" by @deadman96385 ..... There you will find all the information you need.
Cheers, I will take a closer look. I wasn't sure about just running the script as there was stuff in that I wanted to keep. I'll admit I didn't read the whole thread, so will do that now.
Ok read the thread, unpacked the zip, edited the file to leave a few things and rezipped. Backed up then ran the script all in twrp and it didn't work. Can't remember what the error message was. If android is based on linux and I now have busybox installed can I uninstall stuff in a terminal emulator using the commands in that script one at a time?

@SaulBee ....You obviously know what you are doing ....... so yes I would download a Terminal Emulator from the store and try that. I would also re-check the Meta-Inf file before you re-zipped just in case you missed something.

you also have to be sure you use the correct text editor like notepad ++ as windows notepad will screw it up

Cheers I am linux boy really so use a gedit variant. I had a go with titanium backup and got rid of a few things. What I may have a go at is stripping the file down to take out all the nfc files as a little experiment.
