Has anyone gotten Xposed to work? I try to flash it and when it boots, I have no control and if I try to plug in my keyboard, it resets and gets stuck on boot splash.

Xposed only works on Marshmallow firmware on RK devices.

Ah no fun lol. I got the d5 and instantly started looking for the usual. Thanks for the great work!

Just flashed my R-Box PLUS rk3229 2gb / 16gb with the TWRP_RK3229_v161122-4.img it seems to work like a charm so far, I did backup the system the next test is to restore the system from that backup time will tell.

Pls test V2 ...

Dolamee_D5_bluesmanuk_19102016_System.img-only_V2.zip

Have integrated automatic installation of TWRP on first boot .. if it boots at all.

Good afternoon, Hope everyone is well...

I have came late to the game but hopefully interest is still here. I have been working on my own idea of how the Dolamee D5 should look, and have been working on a modification to the android 6.0.1 stock firmware recently released. I would love to have TWRP in my firmware image.

I have made a .img file and flashed the TWRP_RK3229_v161122-4.img file found in a link above from followmsi (thank you verry much for all of your work) on first test it seems to work with my modded stock firmware img. I however cannot figure out how to add the TWRP to the recovery.img file in my modified version. I had originally thought if I had the firmware I modded on the Dolamee installed and flashed the TWRP_RK3229_v161122-4.img, then confirmed it worked, and used linux rkflashkit to backup that partition, I could then use that backed up .img file as the recovery.img in a new firmware update.img and flash it to the box. But alas that did not work. It just constantly boots to TWRP... Cool to see but not very useful.

I saw the quote above "Have integrated automatic installation of TWRP on first boot... and was wondering if someone could walk me through that process.

Thanks for all your help
Aaron

TWRP is a recovery image system file, so you rename the TWRP recovery to recovery.img and incorporate it into the firmware, replacing the original CWM version.

Good to know. I had thought that and I think I tried it last night, But I dont remember it working. It might have been that I made another change at the same time. I will go back a step and make sure my un TWRPed firmware.img works. Then use the same base files with the TWRPed recovery.img inserted inplace of the stock one.


Thanks for the info, and as always all of your help.

I tried the above idea... but it did not work.

In that folder (linked above) you will find 2 Dolamee D5 firmware files v1.0 (not TWRPed) v1.1 (TWRPed)

v1.0 flashes normaly and operates as expected.
v1.1 flashes fine (with the TWRP_RK3229_v161122-4.img renamed to recovery.img and the firmware repackaged) but uppon first boot goes directly to TWRP and will not pass any further.

I have reflashed v1.0 firmware and after first boot I rebooted to bootloader and flashed the TWRP_RK3229_v161122-4.img with the linux rkflashkit tool to the recovery partition and rebooted.
The device rebooted normally,
Followed by a reboot to recovery... Fail. I know that worked last night.
Thankfully after it worked last night I backed up the recovery partitition through the tkflashkit, so I restored that partition.
Fail again. Man I know I had this working last night because I tested a system backup, reboot, check, reboot, wipe, and restore backup and it worked.

Im so lost.

Is the system partition ext4?

Is the system partition ext4?

Yes, after you asked I had to check

system.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=bc686277-6bf1-4c51-a385-5f213248abfe, volume name "system" (extents)

The only thing that springs to mind is that this particular version of TWRP may only work with Lollipop.

Maybe Followmsi can shed further light.

That is possible, maybe I have done lost my mind, pulling my hair out I know I had this working with my custom rom last night.

It wouldn't be the first time I was considered nuts.

Hi ..

You should not integrate TWRP fix into your ROM ..
If you want to do this you need to modify a lot of other stuff too.
Stock recovery is required for the first boot ... setup data and cache .. etc.

If you unzip the TWRP installer (update.zip).. you can check the code.
We make a "dd" command over existing stock recovery.
After first boot of system ..

Hope this helps a bit ...

Cheers


EDIT:
Have uploaded the Update.Zip for you ...

Update.ZIP_TWRP_RK3229_v161122-4.zip

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By6p5AdQfavBV3JQa1hmSEJOLVk

One part ot the installations uses the "install-recovery-2.sh" script .. supersu.

Hope you are able to port it to RK3229 ...

Thanks for the clarification.
