Development Modifications for 3D(V) - HTC EVO 3D

----------------------------------------------
**If coming from development section, the first two zips are only for Evo 3D, JustArchi mods are for most devices**
As always, make a backup, and flash
I am not a developer, I'm a user, so I'm limited in how much I can help you, but I will try.
----------------------------------------------
I want to share a couple projects found in the developers section. When I first started experimenting with scripts and other 'android enhancers', I'd flash them blindly- because I didn't know any better. I've experienced graphical glitches galore, cpu running full throttle all the time, and boot loops. Though luckily no bricks.
More often than not, development projects need to be tuned for a particular device. And that's what's been done here.
The first is operation killjoy, the folks there don't want it to be put into Roms. And they also want a link to the thread, here it is- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411161
They don't want it being used with other mods, and it'll delete such things as Crossbreeder and Seeder, and it'll backup all init.d scripts and use its own, and will also delete sysctl.conf. That's overkill(so this won't delete your init.d, etc). It features dnsmasq and an entropy engine. This is our okj- https://db.tt/aFSWMw65
And the other one is Crossbreeder, it can be put into Roms. I highly suggest using it, the Crossbreeder app can be got here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150
Again, for our device- https://db.tt/ZYRciXIl
OKJ and CB shouldn't be used together.
Here is moderately sized Moab hosts file- https://db.tt/aod1UHXL
Edit- 1/27
All credit on this one to @JustArchi
And this last one took me almost a week to put together. It's the killer work by JustArchi. This is for testing purposes only. I pulled it from a CM 4.4 Rom of his and it's working with the 3D. Don't know if it'll work with tether or not. Hope so though. Please test n report.
It can be used with CrossBreeder, but separately. Here's what I mean by that- when installing the zip, it'll know if you have CrossBreeder installed and it'll back it up. It's easily restored though with the push of a button, in the CrossBreeder app.
Or it can be used stand alone. I suggest using it by itself, it's much simpler. It sets up differently in recovery, but still is able to use CB app(link above) to control.
I wanted to modify the cb app to make sense of what I've done with it here. But don't have the skills to do that. There are scripts used to toggle components: turning on/off haveged, enabling/disabling local DNS, applying adblock, switching from Adaway to Mother of all ad blocking(Moab) hosts file, Locking host file(can't modify), toggling Frandom, fstrim script....and they're located at /system/archidroid/scripts. They can be set up and ran with Script Manager, could use widgets to Enable/Disable stuff, I prefer to use CB app and that's how I've set it up. If you don't want to, delete /system/etc/CrossBreeder. If you do, here's how it works
Stand alone(no CB installed)
Switches
Haveged- enables/disables haveged
*Run ZAutomateHaveged as su on boot to get haveged up and running.
Dnsmasq- Disables/restores JustArchi mods, reboots device
TweaksIO- will run a couple scripts, changed how they run because wasn't working before for me
Bypass ISP- Enables/Disables local Dnses
Tether Boost(worthless anyways) - Enables/Disables Frandom
Adblock- Switches between Adaway n Moab hosts, I don't use ultra huge hosts for Moab- it's 11 MB
And/or you can use the JustArchi app found here- https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...oid/auto/system/app/ArchiDroid-ArchiDroid.apk
-----------------------------------
With CrossBreeder
Haveged- Archidroid haveged will be used full time between CB and AD modes, it can be adjusted in ARCHIDROID_INIT in xbin. This switch enables/disables haveged.
DNSMasq- This switch is tricky, off is ArchiDroid(AD) mode and on is CrossBreeder(CB) mode. After flashing zip AD mode is running. Everything is initially disabled except for Monitor DNS and Monitor pixelserv. Switching to on will backup AD and restore CB, but it will try to reboot, and if it does, the switch may not go on(CB) position. In CB mode, turning DNSmasq switch to on will enable dnsmasq. Turning it off will restore JustArchi-ness, and again it will try n reboot. If it's still in on position make sure to slide it to off after reboot. Turning switch to off in AD mode will mess $#it up because I've used primitive scripting. Please forgive me
Tweaks IO- I had to use a strange method to get these to apply in both modes, forgot to mention before, this will also run fstrim. It's funny, found out scripts can run in a loop
Bypass ISP- self explanatory
Tether Boost- Frandom(same)
Adblock- Switches hosts file(same)
I've included an uninstaller script with stand alone 'version', but not yet for w/ cb one, so as always, make a backup. Also left in there a sweet little gal named onandroid, for backing up partitions for clockworkmod recovery, change part. info in adpath. Be careful with this.

I'm wondering if you've looked at the pdnsd stuff in Crossbreeder I asked about over there, I can't figure out what it's for(dns caching?) and if it's necessary, and its hard to get answers that help me understand. Do ya know anything about this?

Great find... If you like I could alter the CrossBreeder app to reflect the effect of each toggle? (all in main.xml) as long as @fivefour is okay with it.. Just done with apktool... also all the script calls are in MainActivity.smali if you want to change any of those..
What scripts does the 'Tweaks IO" run?

My Lord, you're awesome!
Yeah, I had made changes reflecting toasts and script calls after decompiling, couldn't recompile, kept getting errors w/ apktool on android.
Tweaks IO runs CB_IO_Tweaks.sh
Will you please ask JustArchi too, I don't want to step on any toes.
Please do what you can to bring that app here, I have a concern with the Mode(AD/CB) switch as mentioned in op, can that be fixed?
Edit- just added frandomtest when enabling frandom

here's the right-and-proper archidroid frontend app.
https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...oid/auto/system/app/ArchiDroid-ArchiDroid.apk
from the CB thread before the fracas between fivefour and justarchi which JA ended by withdrawing from the thread.
of course, I learned quite a bit during that discussion, until it ended. but ya gotta respect the wishes of the thread holder.

I will have a look over the next day or two, for some reason using the cb app modded or unmodded with entropy switch just causes app freeze for me, I'm trying it on xperia v. Running the enable_Crossbreeder script works, but no sysrw for the cm12 ROM I'm using, needs
Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system /system
Will have a look at cb/ad issue but my scripting is pretty basic so ......
You can always send me the files you've changed and I can try recompile if you have errors rather than duplicating what you've done.

I welcome any fixes to scripts to make more compatible across devices. Here's that script for Enable CrossBreeder. I put in a 'smaller' CHECK_PROCS so it don't cat as much.

Cool, will look when i can, be really good to have an updated CB tool.
Can you get rid of the sysrw as I don't think its very universal.
Sent from my Xperia V using XDA Free mobile app

Sure, is this more universal what ya put earlier-
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system /system
Or a variation thereof?
Also, I sent you a pm, will you please check it out? Can you give me link?

Hope you guys get it working!
I spent some time trying to get adblock to work using your mod, but I couldn't. The JustArchi app kept fc'ing with only JustArchi installed, and I couldn't get the mod working either.
With both JA and CB installed the JA app didn't fc anymore, but it didn't function either. CB app worked partly, but it froze on the haveged part. Couldn't get haveged working through CB app that way.
This is only meant to inform you, not as criticism at your workin any way!
JustArchi's work goes way above my knowledge of scripting and programming, but I always was interested in his work.
Glad you guys are working on it, I'm following this thread with great interest [emoji106]

For now, use the CB app(op instructions) or SManager to control.
With this mod, either CB is running, or JA is running, they don't run at same time. Only the haveged remains the same, CB haveged is deleted. You may need to re-enable it upon reboot.
I've been working on the adblock portion of CB, and it should now it should start up after switching adaway/moab host file(Adblock button in CB app) and/or running the scripts with IO Tweaks.
Thank you for informing me, and I can take criticism :thumbup: :thumbdown:
You know what, okay, my mistake, with both ja n cb APPS, it stopped fc'ing. Now I gotcha. I'm slow. Wish I could test with that, sorry. Appreciate it if ya keep letting us know how it goes with the JA app.
I made changes to scripts in how system is mounted rw(ty colonel_lp) to be more universal. With cb applied, whichever hosts will now be copied to /system/etc/CrossBreeder/dnrd_root/master. And pixelserv started upon hosts change.
Might be able to get adblock applied without reboot.
You can try if you'd like, delete this from REMOVE_DNS_CLIENT/ INSTALL_DNS_CLIENT-
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq 2>/dev/null
sleep 8
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger 2>/dev/null
reboot
busybox reboot
I'll update op to recent changes
Edit- Stayed up all last night working on fixes, so many little things, it's much different than when first uploaded, check it out.
Was trying to get Bypass ISP to stick 0.0.0.0(CB) with no luck, it's been gerry rigged, please someone help to fix
Edit2-nvm, my silly self didn't have dnsc in there

Well, I just put the finishing touches on the JA/CB project, probably jinxing myself saying that. There may be a dedicated app to go along with this, still up in the air.
Please tell me if ya find any bugs.
So many thanks to colonel_lp for help with this.

Much thanks to JustArchi

Have a question for anyone that knows, when disabling local dns's with JA, it still shows up as my ISPs, that doesn't seem right. Am I missing something.

I thought that it is supposed to work like that, as you are disabling local DNS (= DNS server on your device), so going back to your providers DNS?
By enabling local DNS, you're phone starts acting like a DNS server itself.
But I could be very wrong here, don't know for sure.
Btw, your latest mod is working perfectly for my OnePlus One on ColorOs 4.4.4, using the JA app for configuration. Haven't tried it with the CB app yet, to be honest. Thank you for making things work!
But I don't really notice any difference in speed, smoothness or usability between cb and ja mod, do you? Could be different for other (older) phones with less ram or slower processor, but the OnePlus runs both mods equally smooth.
I was using cb merely for its ability to not only block ads, but erase them without any trace on a page as well. JA adblocking is working perfectly also.
I remember reading something in the past, about JA using different, more stable and newer techniques? Not sure if the difference between the two mods is big enough to notice?
