Disable HTC's write Protection for HTC Desire 816 Lollipop Stock 5.0.2
LOLLIPOP Only ! For KitKat visit xXminiWHOOPERxX's thread.
If you guys feel your Desire 816 is a little boring cause you gained no S-OFF and your System is still write Protected, then here ya go.
This Flashable ZIP will disable the write Protection.
Notes:
I've noticed that install_recovery.sh doesnt work on Desire 816 5.0.2 Kernel.
This ZIP will install the Universal init.D App which enables init.d Support.
The ZIP also include SELinux Mode Change, so it sets SELinux to Permissive (needed for Example for Viper4Android)
How To:
Recomended!
Rooted Desire 816 running Stock 5.0.2 Sense 6 with SuperSU v2.46! (Latest Stable i think)
1.Install ZIP via Recovery
2.Reboot and run Universal Initd App
3.Give root Access for App & Tick the Switch from OFF to ON.
4.Reboot again...Done.
Credits:
Flar2 for Kernel
and all others i've forgot,
sorry i cant remember all names
Thats your fault then cause mostly everbody here got a weird name ;D

Thanks a ton !!!!
Thanks.
init.d is what was troubling me with stock lollipop. I had spent most of the day after updating attempting to install the resources needed to get Viper4Android working. I can't do without Viper. Busybox on Rails from google play did give me busybox though that alone didn't fix Viper. This seems like it would do it as it includes SELinux changer.
I couldn't get SeLinux mode changer on Google Play but it luckily it's listed in XDA DevDB downloads. I will be testing this zip in A while.
Also just in case people are having trouble with writing to externel storage locations (SD, USB) in lollipop, the KitKat SD fix app by NextApp worked (in CyanogenMod at least) when writing to usb failed in two file explorer apps.
As A side question, has anyone touched the two HTC WP files that appear on the root of ext_sd after update?

Thats right
init.d Support is not given through install_recovery.sh and for me the easyiest way was just an init.d appwhere you canhandle every script.
Viper4Android... seems to work only on Permissive SELinux mode else your music gonna stop/crash and i know how essential it is for most thats why i added the SELinux script.
In Developer options you also have to disable NUPlayer for V4A to run, i didnt made any changes on that as i thought thats your option.
Anyway glad you like it, youre always welcome.
Double-Post. Please delete because I can't seem to. Sorry.

SDFix hasn't worked very well for me. It either fails or doesn't give full read/write to all apps. After flashing this mod, running SDFix or editing /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml should re-enable full SD write permissions right? Losing the ability to do this is one of the few things I regret about upgrading.
*edited that* I was in CyanogenMod when SD Fix worked.

Thanks for responding. I'll patiently await the update. Two quick question: Will we still need to run SDFix for write protection be unlocked for the sdcard or are you adding that to the zip? If your adding it, will SDFix work properly with this mod flashed as it is now?

the link you provided is the one for KitKat...
This one is for Lollipop.
if that worked for you, i asume youre not really on Lollipop.
btw the FIle Manager that HTC provide has no problems with writing on SD.
that worked but not fully (I didn't have to restart apps like adway & TB backup folder didn't say folder not writable, but I couldn't delete gapps like books etc, , then I flashed your zip again and finnaly w/p is disbled , THANK YOU SOO MUCH, (the only thing not working now is foldermount) anyways THANX FOR THE ZIP ?

Hey guys!
I have been using Omni ROM for a while. And yes, its a pretty stable KitKat ROM! Almost everything works fine without any issue. But the thing that bugged me was root. There wasn't root permission in the the ROM. So no link2sd and no other script works for expanding storage.
So basically, the only major problem in the ROM was ROOT.
So I worked it out and present before you an easy method.
Prerequisites:
Omni ROM
Root flashable zip
Method:
Download the required packages
Install Omni ROM (Refer installation from this)
Reboot
Now go back to recovery and flash root.zip
Reboot
Enjoy
NOTE:
You need to have atleast 3mb in /system
This zip is only for ARM based devices and won't work with x86 based devices
P.S. Personally this is the best ROM to use as daily driver

Congrats! Downloading and will give a try
Looks very much like a normal superuser or superSU install.
Very good that will work on other devices as well. I mean, ours would not have all the google apps on system. No room for one of them
The su binary is much smaller than cm-11's.
Comment, should probably go on xbin, be symlinked to bin.
Normally, superuser.apk is installed as a user app and would be updated as such from play. But may try it this way!
Great work.

They should NOT be on system/app, especially on our phones. Install from Play as user apps, let link2sd symlink them.
Anyway, flash worked like a charm! Neatly got rid of CWM's superuser, installed superSU which I will leave as a system app for now.
Note that it behaves like what I tried, spawns multiple instances of su and daemonsu (should daemonsu be symlinked to su--why have two copies?).
Link2sd played immediately. Tasker took some time. Xposed almost did not make it. Finally, after a blank screen freeze, reboot, a few attempts, got the dialog! Talking a good ten minutes or aggrivation. What is unique about how this asks for root?

Yes, it takes a bit of time sometimes. It's slow and can't help it .
So here's my suggestion, in settings, set default access to 'grant'. It's a bit faster this way

Try again by giving root permissions by default

However, after flash GAPPSLight. Root have gone. It should be not enough space in /system

MUST trim the ROM. Omni is no different here, maybe even bigger.
The superSU installation wil temporarily move some stuff to make room for the root install, then move it back. However, none of that stuff belongs on system. There is not enough room for even one of those gapps. GAPPSLight is trivial and should not fill you up. In other words, trim the ROM first.

First thing I tried (with my simple daemon start method). Never came up. But up and running now, all's well that ends well.
Question: SuperSU offers to make a backup script first time the UI is exercised. Promises to survive further flashes. Does this indeed work (and ... how)?
I will copy files and edit a version of the setup script from this zip and have them available on my sdcard just in case
Modded Omni Rom
@rhar****,
I have a request 4 u. Please make a modded OMNI rom 4 us. Yesterday I flashed the Jenkins 10th march version. I can't use for more than a while, 'cause i can't install any file manager or any .apk, moreover things went wrong after i flash gapps.. But I loved it and want to hav it as a daily driver. So, if u don't hv any project / busy schedule then pls.try. Anyway 2day i will flash this build.

Smell a rat! Trim that ROM first.
Omni has it own file manager called "Documents." The CMFileManage can be installed as a user app.
BUGs on Omni -- I still am using a daily driver, though:
1. Clock FC's. Widgets appear fine (I use Chronus) but no alarms, stopwatch, wordclocks, etc.
2. GPS apparently not functioning, though location services seem to work. Some apps dependent on GPS FC.
3. Long widget, background process startup times but much better than cm-11
4. About 10 meg worth of apps symlinked by link2sd will be un-symlinked (more probably dereferenced) on start up. Easily cleaned up every few starts. Make sure to recreate link2sd build scripts freshly, reboot after new flash or internal storage mishaps worse than this.
5. Will usually get a wait message on system on startup. Everything works anyway, just open home screen and dismiss.
Those dl builds are genuine "nightlies," scheduled, regardless of whether or not any changes made that will be noticed.

For time being, to install any apk, get a file manager. If you cant, then from Documents, navigate to the apk and hold on it. It will be highlighted. Now copy it and from documents' side panel (swipe from left) go to Downloads and paste it there. Now go to Downloads from app drawer and install from there.
The root is working pretty fine. I tried a lot of times. Sorry to say it now when maybe a week passed, but I forgot to comment. Omni seems to be a good project. And this is the first taste of omni and kit kat, so doble pleasure.

Xposed Xhalo will work in cm-11 but not in omni! Omni takes the window's flag for ... its own multiwindow. So ... where is that?
Xposed multiwindow (its own UI) might work in omni or alongside halo or xhalo ... uses a different flag to avoid the conflict.
In any event, Xposed might be the best way to get these things.

Hi rhar****,
I sucessfully flashed the root.zip into my device(Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 GT-P5110, OMNI6.0.1 based on Android 6), but the SuperUser couldn’t work without a binary file.
The screenshot is in Chinese, it said that ‘The SU Binary file is not installed, and it can’t be downloaded and installed via SuperUser. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, go to the forum and download the binary file, then install it manually. ’
Can you please offer me the binary file? Or give me an URL?

This app has no user interface. Enable it in Xposed - reboot - done.
What does this app?
It adds the group media_rw to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. This is done at runtime, the file platform.xml itself will not be changed. So /system has to not be writable
IMPORTANT
Xposed needs root access for installation and requires Android 4.0.3 and up

Thanks for your effort!
I am on HTC One Max with stock root 4.4.2. However, this module doesn't seem to work. for Example, Titanium backup still cannot access the ext_sd for back up. Although ES File explorer can write to the ext_sd (even before I install your module), but before and after this module installed, I still cannot "move" file between directories INSIDE the ext_sd
Just let me know if anything I can help to get this working. It's not an option for HTC One Max to modify the Permission file, since after I modifying it, after reboot, all GAPP and some system process will FC on me. Once FC happened, only restoring of Permission file AND /data (from NAND backup) will get back (simple reboot/clear cache/Davlik won't work)
Thanks a lot!

Can you see any error messages by this module in the Xposed log? I've attached a version with debug output. The count of the gids should be first 0, then a bigger value X and later X+1.
Btw, I don't know if this module works for your device! In fact it hooks the permissions reading and simply add the group at runtime - so maybe you will have also the FCs too
Im sorry but im not seeing the purpose of this app. Is there something im not thinking or or missing? Does it allow moving apps to the sd for those of us on the gs4 rooted without updating? Or if not, what?
Thanks
good question, i'm also not quite sure about the exact purpose of the app - a description of possible uses would be nice.
considering the linked article and the posts above, it's probably related to that new sdcard behavior of android, where apps are not allowed to access content anymore that they have not created themselves; so if an app can't access the storage, this might help.

If all your non-system apps could write to the sd-card you dont need it. The new "protection" is not active for all devices. You also need this only if you don't want to modify platform.xml

I found out that TB was actually FC due to th UnToaster module I using, not related to your module. I disabled the UnToaster module and now everything works just fine! TB is backing up to the ext_sd and I didn't get any of the FC's on GApp or anything else.

No, no file system drivers are changed. This gives your apps only the permission to write to the extern storage

Thanks for the answer friend. So if I understand correctly, then the camera or gallery app could save pics to the ext SD using this module? The module pictures2sd does this already but sounds like this one could do that and more no?

Hello all,
I am VERY new to this and was reading a fair bit on forums etc before having a go. I really want to make my Desire X use more of its memory as its internal memory is just way to small....
I have the HTC Windroid universal tool.
I have successfully unlocked the phone (its shows unlocked on bootup)
I have then installed TWRP successfully.
I have also installed a new Kernel (NeXus) in an attempt to help.
The issue I have am having is when I used the "Gain Root" - Flash Superuser option, it ran OK and said installing (although on the phone it wouldn't access some cahces), but said it was done successfully. The SU App was then ont he phone, BUT when i ran the Root Checker app, it said the phone was NOT properly rooted. When I ran the SuperUser app it said the binary was out of date, but the install options both failed.
I have also tried to manually load the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip but that also didn't work?
My main (and only real object) is to get the phone so I can use more memory and run more apps etc, and possibly dump some bloat stuff I will never use, but i dont know how to continue without a successful root in place?
Any ideas? I have read around a lot but cant find a solution?

I am VERY new to this and was reading a fair bit on forums etc before having a go. I really want to make my Desire X use more of its memory as its internal memory is just way to small....
I have the HTC Windroid universal tool.
I have successfully unlocked the phone (its shows unlocked on bootup)
I have then installed TWRP successfully.
I have also installed a new Kernel (NeXus) in an attempt to help.
The issue I have am having is when I used the "Gain Root" - Flash Superuser option, it ran OK and said installing (although on the phone it wouldn't access some cahces), but said it was done successfully. The SU App was then ont he phone, BUT when i ran the Root Checker app, it said the phone was NOT properly rooted. When I ran the SuperUser app it said the binary was out of date, but the install options both failed.
I have also tried to manually load the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip but that also didn't work?
My main (and only real object) is to get the phone so I can use more memory and run more apps etc, and possibly dump some bloat stuff I will never use, but i dont know how to continue without a successful root in place?
Any ideas? I have read around a lot but cant find a solution?

Try flashing the zip in this link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ from recovery, I would advise you use the newer TWRP recovery (2.7.1) found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-x/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-desire-x-t2830924 and infinityshooter's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483489
Hope it helps... (Providing you're Desire X single sim)
Thanks yes I am single sim...

OK progress report, I have uploaded the recovery img of TWRP with windroid tool fastboot. 2.7.1 now installed.
TWRP 2.7.1 looks much nicer..no grafix glitches.
installed the zip 1.94 SU you pointed me too.......
SuperSu then said it needed to update the binary when I ran the app on the phone, which I chose to do via TWRP.
Reboot completed via TWRP (all automatically)
SuperSu app then opened and seemed to work.
Rootchecker says: ROOTED!
WOOT! thanks a lot....
Now the question comes .. how do I get my Desire X to start using all its available memory eg SD car, and also how do I use priority access to get rid of default apps I never use?
PS I do appreciate the time you are taking to answer these questions!

Niceee, if you want to remove system apps (e.g. apps you don't use like teetr) then use titanium backup or root explorer, as far as extending memory (e.g. ram or internal memory) i don't think it's possible *Anyone who knows otherwise feel free to correct me*
I'm happy to help, as there were users ready to help me when i started.
plus: are you the guy that posted on the FB group about rooting and extending memory ?

Yeah I have Titanium backup installed now and will work through the rubbish non used apps....
As for Facebook, no that wasnt me...
By the way, I have Android 4.1.1. on the phone as stock.
Do you think its worthwhile upgrading it (somehow?) to Android 4.3? Will that be more efficient and save battery better, and be more optimised? Or will it be more bloated and cane my phone more?
Opinions please....
In fact will flashing a different ROM actually include an upgrade to a different base droid OS?
Just thought we needed a trimmed Rom to tide us over til CM/AOSP/Lolipop comes along. This is about half the size of the original factory ROM. So may I introduce...
BARREN Odex & Deodexed
See Post #2 for addons and minor updates
Anybody can use this as a base. All I ask is a little credit.
Disclaimer: You install this at your own risk!!!
What is it?
This is a Stock Rom that is slimmed down, with very little bloat. Odexed and Deodexed versions
No Sprint dl'ing
No LG dl'ing
Wifi calling installs every single time!
What it has - Change log
Code:
V3
First Sprint Rom that installs a kernel. Can you say "BUMP'd!"
init.d support through the kernel
added more init.d scripts. Helps performance and battery, I hope.
Updated to the current mixer paths - should be good to go
Removed a couple, now useless apps for Barren
V2.1
Fixes in updater-script and busybox. [B]If you're on V_2 update to this. I had some mistakes. [/B]
Read [url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56596984&postcount=248] Here [/url]
V2
All the goodness from V_1 series
Added init.d support
SQLite
Zipalign on every reboot - /system/app, /priv-app, /data/app
Removed - LG File Manager,maybe some others
Added into /data - updated and removable - LG Keyboard, Estrong File Explorer, Sprint VoiceMail, GoogleSearch, Xposed, G3 Tweakbox
Probably other minor things I can't remember
V1
SuperSu
busybox
zipaligned
build.prop edits - All split window, dalvic heap correction
Ext Sd card fix - you don't need an app for this now
Mixer paths - Increases volume - [B]THIS CAN DAMAGE YOUR SPEAKERS!![/B] You've been warned!!
LG Stock Boot animation
Google keyboard only - Removed LG Keyboard and Swype
Removed too many things to list
Maybe some other things i forgot
To install:
Make a backup in TWRP first! And always make sure you've backed up your EFS.
In TWRP, select "Wipe", "Advanced", and select /system, /data, /dalvic, and /cache. DO NOT select "Internal, or ext SD!
Flash zip
Profit!!!!
On first boot:
You may not have reception. Use Wifi or add accounts later
Just acknowledge LG agreement - it won't install anything
Go to Settings and update profile/PRL.
Subsequent boots/reboots:
You may get a Gapps warning. This is OK. Google Search is no longer a /system/app. It'll be in /data, if you download it.
Bugs:
None that I know of. You tell me
Possibly on V2 Play Store not updating properly - time will tell
Donators (Never asked for, but always appreciated - Thank you)

V_1.3 - New mixer paths for everything and build.prop hoping for better battery Here
Works with both Barren and Stock ZV4
____________________
V_1.2.5 - Reverted to 1.1 build.prop with BT volume increase Here - Will work with both Barrens and Stock ZV4.

V_1.1 - Build prop - Here - Will work with both Barren and Stock ZV4
___________________
Add Conceirge and Weather. HERE - Deodexed
Add Concierge and Weather. HERE - Odexed
and
To add other apps - This I'm gonna leave for you to work on. Heres how:
If you want any other app from the stock ROM, you'll need to pull it from a Stock ROM and place it in either /system/app or /system/priv-app BEFORE you flash this zip. Use 7zip or Linux and open the zip and place the apk in the appropriate folder.
In TWRP, wipe /cache and /dalvic ONLY
Flash ROM
Profit!!!
You will need to start from scratch. So flash Barren, wipe cache and dalvic. Flash Concierge and reboot.
It SHOULD work properly and did when I tested it. You add this on your own.
Hell yeah. First. Thanks for this.
Yes indeed good sir, thank you very much, been waiting for something like this. Thanks again.

That's weird. I've installed these roms, testing them, multiple times, and not once did I get Sprint bloat. Lg downloaded one time but the update failed.
Did you both wipe all 4?
I really don't know why it's doing that. But let's see if others get the same thing. I'll still look at it.

Are you all sure it's not just the playstore downloading them after a reinstall. I always open the store first thing and say stop and then check don't auto update. Just a thought. I've installed and have no bloat.

A few days ago, there was an update from zhuhang for the already released Viper4Android 2.5.0.5. It addresses the issues that a lot of people are having with getting V4A working under Nougat. I tested it with my ROM, and the driver installed without error. So then I decided to make a flashable zip that would preinstall the driver and save you a few minutes plus a reboot. Other than possibly needing to grant Storage permissions in Settings, this is a quick flash and go.
The zip that should work on any LG-based ROM, and possibly on AOSP-based as well. Just download, flash in TWRP, and reboot. You may need to grant Storage permissions in Settings.

Thanks for this.. I'm sure many will get use out of it..!
Not sure if I did something wrong or not - but I can't get it to work.
I'm on DevDigital's ls997 ver 6.5 magisk phh.
Flashed in twrp. Granted root permision.
go to SuperSU / un-check Mount_name spaces separately / under the settings. turn on adb debugging.

You shouldn't have been promoted to grant root access. V4A only needs root to install the driver, which is preinstalled.
If you're being prompted to install a driver, the ROM likely uses a different conf file to control audio.

He built and ported to magisk recently. Has a module you need to install then install Swansong
I haven't played with it yet. I like the new app but dont see a diffence in drivers from 2.5.0.4 to 2.5.0.5
Magisk has a compatible module in his downloads via the app that works with my rom (2.5.0.4)
I install that via magisk manager then i pulled the latest viper4arise.apk and installed instead of the older ui viperfx apk that is linked on the downloads page inside magisk manager.
Driver installs correctly for many others as well. You may need to dirtyflash my rom and start over. Magisk manager also received a update yesterday via playstore. The process on phh or magisksu as its now called is different now as its "systemless" vs modifying the actual system files.
If you dont want to go 5through the hassel of above. Just go to developer settings inside of the viper apps settings and turn off selinux and recheck driver status. Im 99% sure it works this way but ive said it before, i wont push the rom this route as i dont perfer it to be off by defualt.
Hope this helps
Got it all worked out thanks to the rom creator above. Team DevDigitel.
Thank You
Thank you for your work on this flashable zip it's much appreciated, I just have a couple of questions though for anyone who might know..
I'm still running the original stock rom (rooted with TWRP) on my LG V20 and a while back I followed the directions from another thread to install V4A, and I was able to get it to work (even through bluetooth) but it's kind of wonky and just hit or miss so I'd really like to try this one out instead.
I'm assuming I should uninstall the version of V4A I have right now but is there anything else that I need to do (besides a nand backup) before flashing this one? Also one of the steps to install the V4A I have right now was deleting a system file (I'll have to go look to be sure but I believe it was something like mixer_paths.xml), so I just thought I'd check to see if that will somehow effect this version or if I possibly need to put the original file back where it was before flashing this one?
I apologize if these are stupid questions but I just thought play it safe and check first before giving this a shot, because even though the version I have is kind of wonky it still works through bluetooth which from what I've read is something that a lot of people haven't been able to get working, and since I use it so much I'm just afraid to even risk losing it. Anyway I'll definitely create a backup before doing anything but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

You don't need to delete any files for this zip. You're supposed to delete /system/etc/audioeffects.conf, but I've done that with the script.
As I use this more, Bluetooth still occasionally doesn't process after pausing for an extended period, like getting out of the car for more than 5 minutes, but all you need to do for it to kick back on is exit V4A from the menu, then open it up again. It'll immediately start processing again.
If you have an unmodified system backup to restore, that will help ensure it works OK, but it may not be needed.

Thank you for the quick response and for the info and I have no clue why I had mixer_paths on the brain but yeah audioeffects.conf is the file I had to delete while installing the version I have, and as far as what you said about the bluetooth acting up it sounds pretty similar to the wonkyness that I was describing with the version I currently have.
One weird thing that I've noticed with mine (and I don't have the slightest idea how or why it's doing it) is when I'm listening to music through my bluetooth headset, none of the settings under the "Bluetooth" section in V4A have any effect on the sound whatsoever.. but what's weird is that all of the settings under the "Headphones" section do (so it's basically like the section names were swapped somehow)?!
I know for sure that I don't have anything plugged into the jack and the headset I'm using is definitely bluetooth (because it's pretty easy to tell lol), so I have no clue why the settings under headphones would work just fine while the ones under bluetooth don't do it anything at all?
Anyway thank you again for the info I'll give it a shot as soon as I have time and let ya know how it went, and unfortunately the only thing I didn't backup was my unmodified system (it didn't even cross my mind until after I was done rooting) but hopefully it'll still be ok. Thanks again!

You can definitely control BT devices from the BT tab on this one. And I've found with more testing that before I get in my car, switch to V4A and exit it, then open it again as soon as Play Music connects. Works every time.
I would just like to say thank you!!
I installed this .zip on my T-mo variant over the previous V4A install via dirty flash. It resolved my Bluetooth processing issues on the stock V20 ROM. I've been working on this the past few days. VERY happy it now works in my car like my last phone did!
Now, once I get the nerve to flash over the new modem and bootloader via TWRP to get up to 20j, I'm highly inclined to check out the new ROM by NATF.
Cheers!

The new modem and other firmware is not a strict requirement for ROMs built on 10j. You just need to make sure TWRP is on the latest release.
