Lifeforce ROM - Firmware for the M8 Tomato

[Finless]

Sorry, taken away from me the test device.
Soon I correct firmware.
Bob: thank you for your CPU patch.
If you also have problems installing the paid apps, in the services.jar file must be off the asec security.
Mount or permissions problem.
Several times I looked, but I could not find the error. (I did not have more time to deal with it)
Sorry my bad english

What do you modify in services .jar? What smali file?

What do you modify in services .jar? What smali file?

Bob

File: smali/com/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService.smali

Code:

 iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;

    const-string v2, "android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES"


    const/4 v3, 0x0


    invoke-virtual {v1, v2, v3}, Landroid/content/Context;->enforceCallingOrSelfPermission(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V

    .line 6528

(line: 37900-37908)
And insert this a code row:

and-int/lit8 p3, p3, -0x2

the .line 6528 before.
So that should look like this:

    iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;


    const-string v2, "android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES"


    const/4 v3, 0x0


    invoke-virtual {v1, v2, v3}, Landroid/content/Context;->enforceCallingOrSelfPermission(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V


    and-int/lit8 p3, p3, -0x2


    .line 6528

This will turn off the ASEC encryption, the purchased application download to the data/app folder, and not the wrong x-asec encrypted folder.
This only applies to KitKat now.

Thanks!!!! and got it.

Only bummer is the ROM must be deodexed first. I have tried re-odexing it and it doesn't work. So ROM must remain deodexed which is slower.

I noticed your ROM was deodexed so now I see why.

You only leave deodexed services.jar.
The rest remain odexed.
I do not think the noticeable slowdown.

[Finless]

Actually I was able to edit the jar file without deodexing it. smali is in the jar, resources in the .odex so sine we are only changing smali code I was able to unpack and repack only the jar and edit it

Done... releasing the patch.zip for my ROM and see if people are happy.

Thanks you for the BIG TIP!

I know this is really a work around and not a proper fix. Seems the kernel for this ROM has some permission problem with mounting /asec.

Bob

[Finless]

Well I made this patch and made sure it is done right.

One person says it did not work... I will wait for reports from others and see.

Which firmware replaced the service file?

[Finless]

Which firmware replaced the service file?

It is just a update.zip that replaces services.jar

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?13466-NEW-Play-Store-paid-APP-fix-for-my-1-5-ROM-ported-to-EM8

I double checked the code and it is there.

However this is for my 1.5 ROM which is a port of the Tronsmart 102K4 so this patch may not work on that.

I do not understand because the service.jar file is not device-specific.
Your M8 firmware works the paid applications download?
Unfortunately, I can not know test for 2 weeks.
Or just the Tronsmart on a device does not work?

My EM8 ROM is old and does not have this patch.

I also cannot test because I do not have a EM8 yet so I am shooting in the dark. I am going to wait until I have the EM8 at this point. Plenty of other things to do until then

I think the EM8 kernel (which I had to use for sound) and the Tronsmart /system does not work together the same.

But work tronsmart the paid application download?

I found a mistake
I correct you right away.

What did I miss? Maybe I should have deodexed it as the code did not change?

No problem that it is .odex file it remains?
I also did my paid_app_patch.zip file to the 1.5 ROM and linked the site.
not deodexed, I wonder it works

Thanks, I will take a look. My M8 Tomato box just arrived so now I can test with it
