THE SKINNY
WHAT IS NIGHTLY UPDATER
Nightly Updater is an AROMA installer for those that
yearn to have the cleanest device. Since I first
owned an HTC Droid Eris, I have been wiping bloatware
off of my device. Flash foward to my latest devices -
LG Nexus 4 and the 2013 Asus Nexus 7 and there ain't
much bloatware... But, all AOSP ROMs tend to come with
at least one or two apps that I can do without (and
sometimes a lot more). Nightly Updater is a simple
tool that allows users to remove unwanted system
applications in an easy manner. NU also allows users
to customize which apps are removed.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Nightly Updater works by relying on scripts that
read txt files. When customizing your script, the
installer looks for junk.txt in the "NU" folder of
your virtual (i.e. internal) SD card. Each line that
has not been "commented out" (i.e. does not have a
"#" at the front of it) or any terms (i.e. app
descriptions) that follow a "#" are removed from the
script. This leaves Nightly Updater with a clean text
file that only has the applications you want to remove.
Review:
Custom Script is called: junk.txt
Custom Script goes here: /sdcard/NU/junk.txt
#Chrome.apk -- NOT DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk -- DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk #Google Browser -- AFTER "#" IGNORED
HOW DO I ADD MY OWN APPS
You can add your own apps in three ways: [1] name (without
apk), [2] name (with apk), or [3] file path.
[1] Name (without ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome
The installer will automatically know it is looking for an apk and
delete Chrome.apk.
[2] Name (with ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome.apk
I think you know what it does.
[3] Full File Path... Now, you can get a little funkier and do the entire
file path like:
Code:
/data/app/Chrome.apk
This comes in
handy for files like pre-loaded wallpapers and
ringtones you may want to remove. Be cognizant of
where the files you are removing are located! This
will become very important when telling Nightly
Updater where to scan.
By the way, Nightly Updater also recognizes wildcards.
This is great for those user apps that end up having
unpredictable file names. For example:
Code:
/data/app/com.google.android.youtub*.apk
com.google.android.youtube*
These are both ways of erasing YouTube regardless of
the "-X" at the end of the file name.
WHAT'S UP WITH SCANNING
When using a Custom Script, Nightly Updater asks
where you would like to scan for apps. By default,
Nightly Updater recommends you only scan in the
System/App folder - which is where (shocker) system
apps are located. Remember, most junk apps are located
in System/App. However, Nightly Updater has also given
the option to scan Data/App. Some developers will put
apps in the Data/App folder, so it may be useful to
remove apps from there. But NORMALLY, these are only
the apps you chose to install. The final option is
to scan EVERYWHERE. Be very cautious with this command!
Remember that it is matching what you write in
junk.txt with the scan parameter. If you accidentally
wrote "system" as an app you wanted to remove instead
of SystemTuner.apk (with full scan on)... you would
erase your system folder... that's REALLY BAD!!!
Now, if you only check this option when you are using
full path and double check your junk.txt file so that
you did not make any mistakes... YOU ARE GOOD!!!
When in doubt, post your junk.txt here and I will
check it over for you
WHAT'S THE DEFAULT SCRIPT
If you download junk.txt from the OP at XDA, then
you have seen the Default Script. The Default
Script is meant to remove apps that MOST people
would consider expendable. If you are nervous to
tinker with your own Custom Script, try running
the Default Script first. If the script deleted
an app you need or did not delete at app you want
to destroy - hit me up and I will walk you
through the steps.

Tested on CM10.2, using the default junk.txt with a couple of mods, seems to work fine. Is there a way to have it just automatically run against the junk.txt without all of the dialogs?

Not quite what I meant. What would be useful for me is once I have the junk.txt the way I want, I don't want to have to do anything, just flash nu.zip, and it will just run through the steps automatically, with no prompts. Unless I'm missing something I still need to click through a bunch of stuff for it to actually do anything, 6 clicks to be exact.

Updated! I have taken out two clicks. Unfortunately if I put the pop-up at the VERY start it doesn't draw correctly. And if I don't put the Scanning Options then it wouldn't be fully custom then...

Dude! Haven't seen you since the 3DVO days and Mean ROM! Glad to see you over here in Razor country (I refuse to call it Flo lol), once again with exactly what I'm after. Hope all is well with you, keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for the update, it does streamline it a bit, I as thinking along the lines of a flag (for example in a config file in the NU directory) that it would look for that if it found, it would just automatically load up the junk.txt file, scan the directory that is configured, and exit out, with no user intervention at all. I don't know if this is even possible within the aroma framework, if it was, It would meet my needs 100%!
I also tested it on my Samsung Skyrocket and it worked perfectly there as well. Well, once I added back the one item that broke the Play Store, it worked perfectly!

I tested it successfully with 4Ext Recovery Touch (v1.0.0.5 RC5), with latest CWM (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img) and with the modified CWM version that Texasice initially released with his first Alpha. Those three are definitely working.

To delete ROM Backup (i've asked the same question to Madmaxx , creator of 4ext )
1)go sd card
2) find clockworkmod folder
3)go in Backup folder
4)All ROMs are in this folder

Came across this and glad I did because this is really nice. Had to play around with being able to get the touchscreen config going for the Dinc but got it going now using these values: 1.85, 43, 1.12, 39
We're thinking of using this for the gapps we link to for Evervolv. The only issue I see is the need for different touchscreen configs for the different devices. If I read the aroma info correctly though, you can read in from a prop file so could get the value of ro.product.device and set the config based on that.
Anyways, thanks for making this great way to install gapps! And btw, no need to have my name in the splash and such...I just bundle up the gapps stuff that works for our Evervolv builds. You and amarullz are the ones to thank for this
Edit: tweeted about it - link

Yea, you've probably read my comment in the aroma-config file. and a bit of research shows that many aroma-users have to struggle with getting a working touchscreen calibration. best way seems to be using the calibration tool a few times and take an average value. Also, i've found a post by amarullz, suggesting, when use the calibration tools, to tap and wait about 1/2 second before you release it.

You don't have to deal with prop files for this.
The prop files are being generated on the fly by aroma-config. that's because aroma-config and updater-script run in different processes and can't share it's memory resource. also, updater script's functions are mainly limited to the filesystem - except for file_getprop. So the only possible way to communicate is with temporary files. aroma-config saves results from installer ui (via writetmpfile) to a temporary prop file and updater-script can then (via file_getprop) read these files.
But you can use sysprop directly from within aroma-config file. Something like the following should work
Code:
if sysprop("ro.product.device")=="passion" then
calibrate("7.80","28","7.80","28");
endif;
if sysprop("ro.product.device")=="bravo" then
calibrate("8","-20","8","-20");
endif;
So, if you want to create a cross-device-compatible installer you would need to get a list of working calibration data foreach device and then just do like above.
Awesome work brotha! Glad now we can use what GAPPS we want, when installing ROMs without any Gapps...

4ext checks if you have ROM Manager installed. If so, it will place backups in the clockwordmod directory, so they are available to ROM Manager.

Nobody asked you to install a certain package?! Feel free to install whatever package you want. However, if you'd ask me and if you're running an Evervolv (based) ICS build, i'd recommend using MongooseHelix's GApps packages to ensure full compatibility.

Both are build off of the 4.0.4 source. It's really more about compatibility, i think.

Thanks for your feedback. Google Music isn't available in Germany so i did not recognized that issue, when i tested the installer. A couple of questions: 1.) Have you tried to install the "original" GApps package from MongooseHelix? And if so, does Google Music performs the sync then? 2.) Is your Google Account connected at all? If not, have you tried to connect to your Google Account via different App (like Market, Gamil etc) and then try to sync Music?

Project Open Cannibal presents...
Cannibal Open Touch v2.1 for Asus Nexus 7​
About Cannibal Open Touch:
Cannibal Open Touch is the next generation of custom recoveries. Jam-packed with cool and useful features, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.
Main Features:
1. Theme support
2. Touch screen button controls!
3. GooManager support!
4. Advanced Backup
5. Delete old backups!
6. Persistent settings
7. User-defined backup locations!
8. ADB Sideload
9. Touchscreen calibration
Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?
Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from ClockworkMod 5, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a heaping helping of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.
What to do when an error occurs:
DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is highly unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
Paste the log as an attachment (don't paste the text inside, as it can be quite lengthy), or paste it on pastebin.com.
WARNING!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cannibal Open Touch you must delete the settings.ini file located in the cotrecovery folder on your sdcard!
The Cannibal Open Touch App for Android (separate from this recovery image, which is fully functional on all devices) is *NOT* functional on Nexus 7 devices running Android 4.2 or later. A fix is being investigated.
Flashing instructions:
1. Download the Cannibal Open Touch recovery image.
2. Reboot your device to bootloader mode (adb reboot bootloader)
3. Flash the image with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img)
4. Reboot to recovery mode
5. PROFIT!

Note: The below link is an external link to the Project Open Cannibal forums. We do not require registration to download any public release, but we'd sure appreciate it if you stopped by to say hello
WARNING!
This has only been tested on the non-3g models (grouper/nakasi); while it is hightly probable this will work on the nakasig we cannot confirm this at this time (at best I would expect assert errors with rom zips).

Yeah Drew (the other dev on the project) wrote in that warning there; it's referring to the Android control application that he did. Allows you to easily change the persistent settings from within android instead of recovery (including but not limited to the user defined backup paths). The recovery does work in 4.2, the app does not.
To set user defined backups you could use the app in 4.1 or older than upgrade the settings will remain in place; or manually create a file in sdcard/cotrecovery/ with the title .userdefinedbackups and the sdcard folder you would like backups saved to: for example if you wanted to add rom manager compatibility you would want your backups to be in '/sdcard/clockworkmod/' so in the .file you would simply write 'clockworkmod' without the quotes.

Oh see, that is not a big deal at all. I would be willing to give that a shot, didn't even know there was an app Thanks for the detailed reply, I'm sure it will help others as well.
The recovery looks nice ^_^
Don't know why I prefer unique recoveries and not popular ones
I like the look of this recovery, I have nothing as of yet to flash, but I'll definitely be keeping it

Yes the recovery works w/ 4.2 roms the only issue is the app that Drew did not being able to communicate with the sdcard properly in 4.2 (this is not related to the recovery itself).
Themes we could use more of; there is an outline of them on our forums and on github (nexus 7 is of course the jb-800x1200 branch)
Looks nice gonna give it a run through

I apologize; I ripped the thread layout off from Drew and didn't realize the source was not linked. I'll get it linked in the OP at a later time but for now suffice it to say yes we have open sourced everything; we have full intention of open sourcing all future related code as well (hence the 'Open' part of the name ):
Either sync a CM10 tree or use the jellybean branch in Drew's hacked up manifest (this will only build recovery).
Whichever way you sync your repo you will need to replace the recovery folder (Drew's manifest is pulling the old repo)
you will need the jellybean branch from the recovery itself:
android_bootable_recovery
if you used Drew's manifest you should already have the following if not you will want to pull these as well:
the jellybean branch from here
android_bootable_recovery_gui
and the master from here
android_bootable_recovery_res
Lastly; a slightly modified grouper device repo (pretty sure this one is also for recovery only lol)
I'll definitely give this a run when I can later today!
Pretty Awesome. Installed just fine on my Nexus7 WiFi. Gonna run this for a while and see how she goes, tnx!
Quick question, is there a way to flash this without a computer? As u currently don't have one and could I use my twrp backup if anything are to happen or would I need to make a new one with this recovery?

You need to use fastboot, which requires use of a computer (for now). TWRP backups are not compatible so yes you would need to make a new backup.
Okay well I don't currently have a computer so I guess ill stick with twrp for now and okay

Is it possible for you to make an app which would flash the recovery? If so that would he amazing as I really want to try this recovery

Well... If the nexus 7 supports flash_image or dd (which I have no idea if it does, you'll have to find out or ask Drew) than yes it's possible; than again you could simply do it from a terminal emulator in that case. Fastboot is the safest way in particularly without having the device myself to play with.
finally got a chance to test her out, so far so good!
not the absolute best advance since sliced bread but i do love seeing an alternative!
as of now i give it a 7 out of ten being no problems i can find, everything seems to work but dont feel as if im gaining much over my other recovery options... that said i felt the same way at first with 4ext recovery and now i absolutely love it, so ill let you know if this moves to 10 out of 10 an time soon
thanks again for giving me options!

(I know this seems like a lot to read through but I highly recommend it)
SEE POST #2 FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS
SEE POST #3 FOR INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
SEE POST #4 FOR CONTRIBUTOR AND TEST GROUP INFO
PLEASE BE AWARE-- THIS ROM IS NOT BASED ON OFFICIAL SAMSUNG FILES, IT IS BASED ON A RUNNING CM11 CYANOGENMOD SYSTEM.
AND WHILE THIS IS VERY GOOD, CM11 IS NOT 100% READY FOR OUR DEVICES, ALSO ANY SAMSUNG SPECIFIC FEATURES (MULTIWINDOW, PEN WINDOW, SHEALTH, ect) WILL NOT WORK (THOUGH I WILL ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE ALTERNATES), AND WHILE IT IS PRETTY STABLE, AT THIS TIME THERE WILL BE SOME MINOR BUGS. AS CM11 CHANGES THOSE WILL BE REDUCED. IF YOU NEED ABSOLUTE STABILITY AND EXCELLENT BATTERY LIFE PLEASE USE A TOUCHWIZ ROM BASED ON THE OFFICIAL mj4 UPDATE>
for a slightly better look at what touchwiz is vs what cm11 (aosp) is check out a few of these links.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48773400&postcount=2
http://www.androidauthority.com/touchwiz-better-than-stock-android-215634/
I AM NOT TRYING TO SAY cm11 ISNT VERY GOOD. I LIKE IT QUITE A BIT.
or i wouldnt have gone through the effort of making this.
just that touchwiz is more than the launcher it is actually a whole set of files built directly into the system specifically designed for our devices.
MANY of the apps that come stock on the note 3 rely on these files to function.
and no its not as easy as just copying them over to cm11 based roms.
CM11 is more of a vanilla android experience (with some mods)
PLEASE READ POST #3 CAREFULLY.
THE INSTALL PROCEDURE FOR THIS ROM MAY BE A BIT DIFFERENT THEN WHAT YOU'RE USED TO.
MY TOUCHWIZ BASED ROMS
**BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MININ3.MINIMUS FOR A FULLY DEBLOATED, MORE STOCK EXPERIENCE**

ROM OS Version: 4.4.x KitKat
Based On: Cyanogenmod , AOSP
Version Information
Status: Testing
Current Beta Version: 1.0
Beta Release Date: 2014-01-14
Created 2014-01-15
Last Updated 2014-01-15
NO KERNEL INCLUDED>
MUST INSTALL OVER A CM11 BASED BUILD
which will have the kernel and a full system this rom only changes and adds features for cm11 builds
STEP ONE:
install a cm11 build tested over this one here...
thank @noobnl for his hard work bringing us a working cm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599669
i used:NEW NEW NEW BUILD from that thread.
there is now an official build page for the note 3 cm builds here.
latest official builds can be found here
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltespr
Reports are it also works very well with VANIR based roms
http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/hltespr/
STEP TWO GET THIS FILE:
DOWNLOAD
VERSION 1.0 ALPHA SOME MINOR BUGS (CM11 is not 100% yet)
(if downloading from phone gives a bin file download with a pc, should be.zip)
INCLUDES ALL NECESSARY GAPPS AND OTHER NEEDED FILES!
Built on top of cm11 for multiple reasons, (my upload bandwith is horrible right now, cm11 is getting constant updates, this will make things easier on me at least until everything gets worked out) (should also work UNTESTED on other cm11 builds/roms for the sprint note 3)
Install instructions
FOR THIS VERSION AT THE MOMENT CWM RECOVERY IS NOT SUPPORTED
cwm lacks the fix permissions script needed to ensure certain data settings remain intact
future versions will improve on this, however for now use TWRP
Install notes for test version 1 (this will change dramatically with upcomming versions)
FIRST (ESPECIALLY IF COMING FROM 4.3)
wipe everything in recovery except internal and external sd
(wipe>advanced)
reboot into recovery (IMPORTANT)
then install from there.
install cm11 first
boot to system
This is an update add on to cm11 based roms
flash update reboot (to write data to system)
flash update again, fix permissions, (edits data after a boot)
reboot
(i have been working on a much improved install procedure that should ensure a one step install,
the reason for editing data is to pre-set some app settings
without having to edit individual apk files, this increases
compatibility and ensures things still work as intended as apps get updated)
open pie control give admin
open wanam press update install (to force admin)
will need to open a few other apps also will list as found
future versions should take care of this automagically.
can use hide apps to hide unwanted apps from the launcher (this will also be preset in the future)
i usually use it to hide all the wanam modules and not the xposed installer.
then use xposed installer , modules to edit settings as needed.
also can hide anything else you want to leave installed but not see.
these apps may need root enabled (just open and try and change something) should prompt..
Xposed installer
Pie control
startup manager (if wanted)
texdroider dpi (if wanted)
file manager
xhalo floating windows (wanam module)
app hider (to hide apps optional)
also there are some included themes under the settings menu themes.
ignore the warning and just press apply, (stock cm11, blackout, twstyle)
may also want to uncheck and recheck all the wanam modules and reboot after to be sure they all actually get set.
ADVANCED USERS/USERS WANTING TO USE THIS ON TOP OF ANOTHER CM11 BUILD
STILL READ ABOVE NOTES>
Dirty flash on top of any running cm11 system should be fine (unconfirmed)
NOT WIPING DATA SHOULD BE FINE ALSO IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON A 4.4 BUILD.
DO THIS:
flash update reboot (to write data to system)
flash update again, fix permissions, (edits data after a boot)
reboot

Instructions for customizing the bloatware removal:
Located in "/s5mods/bloat" is a text file named nobloat.txt, Open and review this file it contains a few default apks to remove.
To add your customizations simply add the file name of the apk (Case Sensitive), if the apk also has a coresponding odex
file you will need to add the path to that as well following all case sensitive patterns. Be careful when adding apks to this list if you
add an apk that is required by the system to boot you will be required to flash the stock rom and start over from scratch.

a) Device Model (Tab4 7.0/8.0/10.1)
b) SU version (SuperSU 1.94/1.99 etc)
c) Check busybox version (1.22.1 installed by script)

Hey thanks! Already finished! I was really busy, but before that I actually exchanged my 7 inch for an 8 inch. Does this tweak also work for 8 inch? I am guessing it is because you just said Tab 4 without screen size. Also, you are aware that tab 4 7.0 has Marvell quad core chip while 8.0.and 10.1 has snapdragon 400, right? Just making sure cause you don't have this tablet and maybe you weren't sure.
I'm still deciding if I should keep my ipad and return this tab 4 8.0 or keep this tab 4 and sell my ipad. Ahh can't decide! There are both goods and bads..
Anyway, I'll try this tweak soon. I hope other users will also find this tweak helpful.
Thanks!

tweaks SHOULD be independent of screen size and processor, that being said the performance gain most likely will behave differently between the three devices

yep, ok i dont have a folder specific to the tab or tab4 sorry, it should work for the 8.0 and 10.1 as well.
So ran it on my 8.0, it completed and I'm able to boot successfully, however it was unable to set bootanim, it was unable to remove default bloat ( stated it was read-only), and init.log and the memory recovery.log do not exist in data/local/

You are rooted, correct?
did it install all of the prerequisite components? busybox etc?
you ran this through script manager correct?
chose the SU options in script manager?
did you go in and modify the nobloat.txt (per the instructions)
Remember I don't have this device I am flying blind abd need some detailed information in order to help.
I am rooted yes. I also had busybox preinstalled. I did run through script manager as linked, with su chosen.
I didn't touch the nobloat.txt at all, rebooted twice immediately and checked for the two files that didn't appear
The only problem I initially encountered was i am unable access menu of script manager, so i had skipped that step about the text size

The next version will be completely rewritten will run through adb commands with your device connected to your PC (Sorry windows version only)

you will need to modify the nobloat.txt file for your device (remember I don't have the tab 4 so the txt file is based on my tab3)
you really need to change the menu size so you can see the prompts and answer them appropriately it should work the only reason i can think of that it didnt is that kitkat behaves differently but it shouldnt as far as running scripts go. you mentioned read only which leads me to believe that the system folder did not get write access correctly.
ill look thru the script and see if i can find anything that needs changing

[MOD][UNOFFICIAL] WakeBlock for the V20!

To start off, credit goes to @GioBozza, @CappyT, @pioccd, @TotemFallico, @SimoIanni. They made this mod. All I did was port it to the V20.
ORIGINAL THREAD (go drop a "Thanks"): https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/wakeblock-blocking-drain-late-t3526313
Next, some caveats:
Neither I nor the users mentioned above take any responsibility for anything that goes wrong with you installing this.
I have personally tested this on the H918 on the 10k firmware. I see no reason for it not to work on other variants, BUT MAKE BACKUPS!!!
This mod is unofficial, and will remain so, meaning I may not be able to update it for every release, whether that be a new Android version for the V20, or a new mod version.
This is for STOCK ONLY.
This mod requires ROOT.
Again, MAKE BACKUPS!!!!!!!!!
Instructions (READ THROUGH THEM FIRST):
Backup `/system/framework/services.jar` and `/system/framework/oat/arm64/services.odex` (The latter is only relevant for ODEXed ROMs).
Download and install the app from the linked thread.
Download the `services.jar` file attached or linked in this post.
Copy it to your device somewhere safe (such as `/sdcard/`).
Use either the command line or a root file explorer to copy the downloaded JAR to `/system/framework/`, overwriting the current one. (YOU MADE A BACKUP, RIGHT?)
Make sure its permissions are set to 0644 (rw-r--r--).
Use either the command line or a root file explorer to delete the `services.odex` file that you made a backup of I'm sure C_C.
Reboot.
(If you have TWRP 3.1.1-1, you'll have to keep the backups on your device somewhere, since it doesn't support MTP right now!)
If all went well, your phone will boot successfully and you'll have some pretty fine control over your wakelocks. If not, restore your backups using the TWRP file manager and try again.
If you have any questions about the installation process, ask here. Otherwise, ask on the linked thread.
Nice job!
Good job everyone!
Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk
Excellent work! Been hoping this would get unoffiical support.
Edit: Damn, doesn't seem to boot on NotSoStock for the H918. I wonder if Tilde changed something in services.jar
@Zacharee1 nice find.
What are you using to compare before and after results of the mod?
Using the link you posted and github I've added the the mod to my rom all seems well but not sure which app will measure this best?
Also is there an app or something you are using to control which wakelock you want to block?
I tried the playstore version, but says device not supported...
Either way it doesn't seem to have any negative effects so far so I guess I'll just wait for a few days to see if there are any noticeable improvements...
Thanks for your work and contributions to this community!
Hopefully you'll still be using this device by time I finally go public with oZoP! Hopefully soon, but can't really say how much longer. Still many, many hours

Using the link you posted and github I've added the the mod to my rom all seems well but not sure which app will measure this best?
Also is there an app or something you are using to control which wakelock you want to block?
I tried the playstore version, but says device not supported...
Either way it doesn't seem to have any negative effects so far so I guess I'll just wait for a few days to see if there are any noticeable improvements...
Thanks for your work and contributions to this community!
Hopefully you'll still be using this device by time I finally go public with oZoP! Hopefully soon, but can't really say how much longer. Still many, many hours

I'm using Wakelock Detector Free to see which wakelocks are still happening. Some of them can't be blocked without causing systwm_server to continually crash, so you have to be careful.
The core kid is unsupported on this phone, not the app. If you swipe to the wakelocks tab, you should see a bunch.
I'm going to be on this phone for at least 2 years, so no worries there.

Excellent work! Been hoping this would get unoffiical support.
Edit: Damn, doesn't seem to boot on NotSoStock for the H918. I wonder if Tilde changed something in services.jar

Did you set the permissions correctly?

Hi, the playstore app says "Unsupported" because it checks for official build of WakeBlock, now I am on DU wich is Unofficially supported and my home screen looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If yours looks like this too you can proceed blocking wakelocks. Please refeer to this thread to see which wakelocks to block(remember that the WakeBlock app asks for the block time in milliseconds so you need to add 3 zeros to the guide's times)

He changed some classpaths, so the service didn't bind. It's all working now.

Strange. If you send me the working jar, it probably won't be hard to edit, since NSS is deodexed.

OP is correct... It was am error on myside and have since fixed and been blocking away those dang wakelocks!
Haven't really ever used anything that gve me control like this to pick and choose which ones! Very nice, now the problem is figuring out which ones to block! Haha
I have started lite with mainly just gms.core and will go from there.
Thank you for your work and thanks OP for bringing this here!
Awesome thank you!

Quick update:
Don't use WakeBlock to block WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed. Your phone will reboot when connected to WiFi, disconnected from power, and put to sleep. This wakelock has been causing me some headaches, so here's an experimental JAR that just disables the wakelock altogether. Test it using the same instructions as in the OP (it does boot; I tested that far), and report any weird behavior. I won't be able to fix anything that happens because of this, but it'll be good for others to have that information.
If this goes well, I think I'll try packaging this into an AROMA installer. I've always wanted to try making one of those.

Alright. I reuploaded the services.jar. Try it now.

Thank you! Sorry I was unable to reply yesterday. I'll give it a try
Edit: No luck unfortunately, still fails to boot. I've attached the services.jar from NSS 6.5
Just tried this on stock H910 and it couldn't get past the ATT logo. I replaced the .jar file and changed the permissions to 0644. Did I need to delete the .odex file in the .jar?
Will this work on G5?
Looks very interesting - out of curiosity has anyone had the dreaded "anx_wlock" kernel wakelock/battery drain on the V20 and managed to fix it with this?
Thanks. Works great on WETA 5.0.7 H918
