Wrong firmware installed

Dear friends i need some help, yesterday i was doing some changes to my Samsung Galaxy Young Duos with Odin Downloader at certain point everything was alright until i got distracted :confused: and installed the S5830M firmware on it (It contained only the PDA file) it installed successfully but, when the phone was turning on showed me the boot image, and got stuck there, later it turned off by itself and now only shows a white screen, turns off and turns on again and so on... (when it turns on shows the white screen and later turns off and it keeps doing that until the battery is dead) I've tried a lot of things and nothing really works at all, it doesn't enter in Recovery or Download nonetheless it only shows the damn white screen and doesn't do nothing :( Could somebody help me?

Hey, I am currently using an app that has built in backgrounds to make quote cards and memes and such. I want to know how to find the actual background files so I can modify them. How can I find these files? Any help is appreciated!!!

Touch Screen being weird after wrong CR installed

Ok so i installed the wrong custom recovery file. Since then the touch screen has been off. It's hard to explain but it still works it just not where i press untill i get up in the top right left corner.
http :// i60.tinypic.com/ 2mdh0t1.png (Link to picture, remove spaces) sorry i am unable to post links)
As you can see from this screen shot, i am click on the PHONE icon at the top, and it's down below where i actually click.
Now when i use the pen it works perfectly fine, so it's not the touch screen (i believe it's self)

I have flash the stock recovery.img back, that didn't fix it, i flashed the stock boot.img that didn't fix it, then installed the whole stock rom and it didn't fix it. I am trying to fix it without doing a factory restore. So does anyone know how to fix the stuff up i have made? Any help would be amazing.

[help] Locked bootloader, and stuck in bootloop with TWRP installed.

So I just bought a new phone and was getting ready to reset my Nexus 6 back to stock and relock the bootloader. Using Wugs toolkit I for some inexplicable reason relocked the bootloader before going stock. I got myself stuck in a boot loop but was eventually able to get into TWRP. Since I cannot unlock the bootloader without checking the box in the SW I want to flash a rom there but sdcard cannot mount in twrp and I am stuck. What should I attempt next or should I rma with Moto?

Did not installed a Recovery before ROOT

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so if i intrude or break any rules, I'm sorry in advance.

I got a Zenfone 2 and rooted it by following the One-click ROOT method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...-easy-t3114003

I did not install any CWM/TWRP on my phone since the instructions on the thread did not specify it. After the ROOT process I updated SuperSU using the "Normal" option and not the "TWRP/CWM" option

Everything worked perfectly, and then i installed Xposed Module from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpos...fones-t2983589

After a while i received a notification that an OTA is available so i decided to uninstall Xposed and Full UNROOT by using Super SU. After all of the process were done, i check my phone via the Root Checker app, it said that "ROOT Access is not properly installed". After that i boot into Recovery Mode, cleaned everything, checked again with the app, but it still says "ROOT Access is not properly installed". What do i do to completely remove the ROOT Access? Do i need a Custom Recovery like CWM/TWRP for that?

P.S. I already flashed the latest official frimware from ASUS using ADB so now my phone is up to date, but after i checked, the ROOT Access is still there and it's still not properly installed, so decided to ROOT it again until i find a way to completely remove it.

Installed app and now remote not working

I installed Mediahh apk on to my Amazon Fire TV stick. I then restarted the stick and opened the app using the remote. Having watched a couple of vides I decided the app wasn't what I wanted so I used the remote to exit the app. Suddenly the remot stopped working. I've changed the batteries and it's not working. I have used the remote control app on my phone to uninstall Mediahh and also restarted. I've tried to pair the remo but the stick doesnt detect it. I have read other threadds about restarting the stick (which worked for other people) or unpairing but I cannot find the option to unpair it.
I used adbFire to install the apk.
Does anyone have any advice what to try next?
Thankyou

Application is not installed on your phone

Hi everyone,

I recently decided to convert some system apps to user apps so that I can greenify them with the free version of greenify.

Most of them were successful except for the following apps:

1. Hangouts
2. Music
3. Internet
4. Play Movies

I used the titanium backup feature to convert them. I did it for a bunch of others and they were all successful.

For the apps above that failed, I no longer see a directory for these apps in both /system/priv-app or data/app. They seem to have vanished?

I still have the shortcuts for these apps in my app drawer / home screen but they are the green android icon and when I click on them I receive the following error: Application is not installed on your phone

Would anyone be able to help me with this issue? phone is SM-G920W8 with android 5.02 rooted with cf auto root and TWRP custom recovery using stock rom.

Thanks in advance.

[GUIDE] Application for Analysis of the Programs Installed on Android

Author: Apriorit (Device Team)

Permanent link: www(dot)apriorit(dot)com/dev-blog/304-android-package-analyzer

In this article, I will tell you about the process of my research and the results I’ve obtained. I will describe PackageAnalyzer program created as a supplemental tool that displays various data on applications installed in the system. The following is a short summary of its functionality and basic elements implementation.

Research Process. Results

First of all we need to obtain the Android OS source code. The official web-site provides the detailed instruction on downloading the source code from the repository. Following this instruction, I set up the program environment and began the download. At that moment 4.1 was the latest version of the source code available for download. That process took a while, as the overall size of the data received was nearly 15Gb.
What should we begin with? How to find a way to analyze such a volume of data under tight schedule…
It is a well known fact that programmers are rather lazy, which prompts them to optimize their work process in various ways, and I wasn’t an exception to the rule. I came up with an idea how to ease this process a little bit by creating a program that would scan all installed packages and display the information I need, namely activities, services, broadcastservices. What’s the point in it? Firstly, it provides arranged information on packages, which allows to outline those that are of a particular interest to me. But you cannot always define the activity purpose by its name. That’s why I modified the program by adding a function that allows you to run a separate activity from the acquired list.

As the result I outlined the list of Android system applications that might be of a special interest:

• com.android.browser
• com.android.contacts
• com.android.development
• com.android.email
• com.android.mms
• com.android.phone
• com.android.settings
• com.android.packageinstaller

The next step was the research itself.

What should I look for and pay special attention to? As we know, activity is launched with the help of Intent. To do this, we need to call the startActivity(Intent) or startActivityForResult(Intent,int) method, if we expect to obtain certain result, and pass to it the Intent we’ve already created. Intent is a kind of a package, which a sender fills with various data and sends to the recipient (activity) for analysis. Therefore I was tasked with identifying the activities capable of executing the instructions set in Intent, which are not described in the Android manual.
Activity life cycle begins with onCreate() method. In most cases, exactly this method extracts the data included into Intent. The getIntent() method is used for this purpose. Hence, equipped with Far, I started searching for classes with included getIntent() with further research of what happens inside of each class, what data is extracted from Intent, and for what purpose it is used. Using this algorithm, I went through each system package, which was planned to be researched.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any hidden possibilities in the system packages of Android OS. Perhaps, it happened due to shallow application research, for which I didn’t have much time, that didn’t allow me to go deep into the features of each application. But negative result is a result after all. I am sure that Google programmers did a great work to eliminate system vulnerabilities by the release of new Android OS – all loopholes, which I was trying to find, were covered.

Program Part. Package Analyzer

As I mentioned earlier, I created the PackageAnalyzer Android application that was mainly tasked with collecting and displaying various information on installed applications. Besides, additional service that checks the requested permissions in newly installed applications and warns about the potential danger was added to the program functionality.
Functionality

• Acquiring the list of installed applications;
• Acquiring the list of Activities, Services, Broadcast Receivers, Permissions;
• Launching a separate activity from the list;
• Notifying about potentially dangerous permissions used by the application;
• Service. Tracking the applications being installed and checking the permissions they request.

Appearance

The user interface consists of two activities.
When launched, the program acquires the list of all installed packages and displays it in the main activity. After a package from the list is selected, the second activity is launched. It displays the detailed information on the internal package components (activities, services, receivers, permissions).
In the “Activities” section, you can initiate the launch of any component from the list by clicking it. In this case, an attempt to launch it with the help of Intent will be made. If everything goes smoothly, the selected activity is displayed on the screen. But not all activities can be launched this way, as an attempt to acquire certain data from Intent that initiated the launched is made in many of them, in onCreate() method, and if some data is not actual or wasn’t found, the activity cannot be launched.
Any Android application requires a permission to perform an action. The list of requested permissions is displayed to a user before each installation. That means that in theory it allows a user to make himself secure against malicious software getting into a phone. But practice shows different results: most users simply do not pay attention to this list. This gives malicious software the opportunity to get into the phone and use the user means as it wants.
That is why the ScannService service was added to PackageAnalyzer program. Its main task is to check the permissions requested by new applications and to inform a user in case any potentially dangerous permissions are detected. Such permissions would include: sending and receiving SMS, making paid phone calls, access to your location, access to personal data (contacts, emails), and so on.
The permissions are checked for new applications, as well as for already installed ones. This check is performed at the PackageAnalyzer launch. Depending on the permissions requested, the indicators in are displayed in the main activity and in the Permissions section in one of three states.
Risk level:
- high;
- middle;
- low.
If a user allowed malicious software to be installed, ScannService shows the corresponding notifications and plays a sound signal.

By clicking the notification, you launch the activity with detailed information on the package. You can start/stop this service by clicking the button on the main activity.
The ScannService registers two BroadcastReceivers at launch. The first one gets the notifications on newly installed applications and initiates the check, and the second one starts the service in case of a mobile device restart.

Implementation

Information on installed applications is located in PackageManager, which can be acquired from the context:

Code:

---

1        PackageManagerpackageManager = context.getPackageManager();

---

We acquire the list of installed packages:

Code:

---

public List<String> getInstalledPackagesList()
{
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<PackageInfo> packageInfoList = packageManager.getInstalledPackages( 
        PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES );
for( PackageInfo packageInfo : packageInfoList )
    {
        list.add( packageInfo.packageName );
    }
return list;
}

---

We acquire the list of activities located in the indicated package:

Code:

---

public List<String> getActivities( String packageName )
{
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
try
    {
        PackageInfo info = packageManager.getPackageInfo( packageName, 
PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES );
for( ActivityInfo activityInfo : info.activities )
        {
            list.add( activityInfo.name );
        }
    }
catch( Exception ex )
{
        ex.printStackTrace();
}
return list;
}

---

We acquire the list of services, receivers, and permissions the same way by passing the corresponding parameter to:

Code:

---

getPackageInfo(): GET_SERVICES, GET_RECEIVERS, GET_PERMISSIONS

---

BroadcastReceivers are declared with android: enabled="false" parameter in AndroidManifest.xml file, as by default the service is stopped. The receivers are inactive until a user launches the service. The components activity state is changed in the following way:

Code:

---

publicintonStartCommand( Intentintent, intflags, intstartId )
{
    setComponentEnabled(true, PackageInstalledReceiver.class );
    setComponentEnabled(true, OnBootDeviceReceiver.class );
...
}
publicvoid onDestroy()
{
    setComponentEnabled(false, PackageInstalledReceiver.class );
    setComponentEnabled(false, OnBootDeviceReceiver.class );
...
}
privatevoid setComponentEnabled(boolean enabled, Class<?> clazz)
{ 
int state = enabled ? PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED
            : PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED;
    getApplicationContext().getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(
new ComponentName( getApplicationContext(), clazz ), state, 
    PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP );
}

---

It is necessary to check the activity of the service at program launch. To do this, you need to acquire the list of all started services and perform a search in it:

Code:

---

publicstaticboolean isServiceRunning( Context context, String serviceClassName )
{
    ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(
        Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
    List<RunningServiceInfo> services = activityManager.getRunningServices(
        Integer.MAX_VALUE );
for( RunningServiceInfo runningServiceInfo : services )
    {
if ( runningServiceInfo.service.getClassName().equals( serviceClassName ) )
        {
returntrue;
        }
    }
returnfalse;
}

---

Summary

In conclusion, I would like to note that although I didn’t obtain any results after searching for hidden possibilities of Android system applications, I created an application for analysis of programs installed on a mobile device, which can be used in the future. The functionality of the program can be extended to obtain more detailed information on applications, as well as to provide security (detection of malicious software and so on).

how to update Android via OTA when Multirom and TWRP are installed

Hi,
today I received a security update in my Nexus 5. I accepted it and when rebooted it got stuck in the multirom menu and it didnt update anything. Last time I have to lock the device and flash the rooted image in order to proceed with the update. this time I would like to do it diferently if possible.

Is there any other way to flash the update without removing multirom and locking back the device?
where is the update.zip stored when the system automatically downloads the update? maybe I could manually flash it using the TWRP.

thanks!

unable to factory reset after having twrp and roms installed..

Does anyone know what is wrong here? I wanted to get back to stock by flashing Amazon's stock .bin (changed to .zip) in twrp. I've done this before and had no issues. In twrp I wiped everything and then flashed the .zip. Then I booted into the Amazon OS and everything appeared fine. I'm on 14.3.2.5. For one, I cannot factory reset. After trying to do so, it reboots to the Kindle logo and just permanently hangs there. If I try to update it manually to 14.4.5.5, once again, it just hangs on the Kindle logo. It appears I have no recovery or something. What I don't understand is that I've done this in the past with no issue. Where I am now is that I am able to boot without issue into 14.3.2.5, but cannot update. What can I do?
