Do not use the lagfix anymore voodoo will be incorporated into our new kernels very soon. Thanks
Kept the attachments so you can remove if needed!
I keep getting permission errors when I try this. I found another way to update busybox but the script doesn't work
With the current limited root I have, I could not write to /system/bin. I just woke up and I didn't feel like figuring that out, so I copied stuff to the sdcard, then I used cat to write the file to /system/bin as shown above (steps below). I would suggest before starting, download Quadrant Standard from the Market, run the full benchmark and see where your device is on the list. Mine was below the Galaxy S before starting.
This is what I did (on Mac) to get busybox in place:
Code:
./adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/lag_fix/
exit
exit
./adb push ~/Downloads/busybox /sdcard/lag_fix/
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/lag_fix/busybox > /system/bin/busybox
cd /system/bin/
chmod 755 busybox
ls -l (check the permissions)
exit
exit
Now busybox is in it's right place with the right permissions.
Now, I have to manually execute the steps in the lagfixme.bat file, because I'm not on a PC and I don't feel like re-writing the script, because I just woke up.
Before pushing the files, I edited lines 35 and 36 in the createlagfix.txt file to fit my sdcard folder path. I like to keep my SD card organized, so I put all the files from the zip into the /sdcard/lag_fix folder I created above. Here is what my line 35 and 36 look like before I push createlagfix.txt to the SD card:
busybox cp /sdcard/lag_fix/playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogos1
busybox cp /sdcard/lag_fix/userinit.sh /system/bin/userinit.sh
Now, I know the folder paths below looks ugly, but that's because I just pushed the files directly from my Downloads folder. Hopefully you guys can see what I did here. If not, let me know and I'll edit the post to read better. These are basically the lines in the batch file written out manually for Mac users:
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/createlagfix.txt /sdcard/lag_fix/createlagfix.sh
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/playlogos1 /sdcard/playlogos1
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/userinit.sh /sdcard/userinit.sh
./adb shell su -c "/system/bin/sh /sdcard/lag_fix/createlagfix.sh"
Once the process is complete, run Quadrant Standard again and you'll see your device as the fastest one in the list.
Many thanks to Dirrk!!
Worked just fine for me.
Thanks for this and your root instructions!
Guys, is the phone actually laggy, or are you just assuming it's laggy because of complaints with the other models? I mean, you've only had them a day or two, right? Took me longer to notice lag than that on my i9000.
I'm tempted to grab a Fascinate, but all the issues I've had with the i9000 and it's a tough call.
I've seen it lag sometimes under high load, but I thought that was normal.
I've tested it with GroceryIQ, to compare against the last 30 seconds or so of this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ox35vMS78 ) and the Fascinate is nowhere near as bad at lagging. That video was 8/21/2010, so they may have updated their application by now, not sure.
Edit - Anyway, it works just fine. Nice work Dirrk! 2,191 !
Yep, worked like a charm! My Quadrant score jumped to 2125 after the fix. Phone is much snappier too. Thanks Dirrk!
i've been trying this but i keep getting permission denied.
can someone take me step by step on how to do this?
So, after running this, I am now getting a notification that internal storage is nearly full. Any ideas?

If you have root, you can now remove many of the bloatware apps that you do not use (this fix uses 1gb of your internal storage - performance is expensive)

Whoa, careful there. That's a quick way to brick your phone. Try removing Verizon Backup Assistant and you're bricked.
C:\sdk\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
cannot create /system/xbin/busybox: read-only file system
Any ideas why I'm getting this error? It looks like I'm screwing up something very simple...

Really? I removed Backup Assistant and I'm not bricked. Am I missing something?
Removing VZW backup assistant will absolutely not brick your phone. Its one of the first things to go on all my android phones since the eris.
undo lagfix
Hello. I want to undo this for now, due to running out of space for apps. I assumed running unlagfixme would do the trick, but it hasn't given me back the 1 gb it used. Am I doing it wrong, or is it stuck like this now? Thanks for your help!
is there a list of apps someone can recommend to remove that's just bloat? thanks....and ive ran this quadrant score, im averaging 871 three times testing now with minimal apps (used task killer...) - and ive got 177mb left on my phone hehe...
Nevermind, figured it out

Thanks for the info, and my bad on the post!
I heard that removing this on the Droid X was bricking phones.
If people want to share what they've been successful in removing/renaming, that would be helpful.

Hi All,
Been playing around with my SGSII and noticed all the files in the /system/audio, i was hoping that you could increase the gain of the MIC in various states by tweaking the files, though i thought i may as well ask if anyone else has had any joy in tweaking these files or even attempted it?
Let me know, i will post my results if no one does first.

be my guest and do the Honors ma8 so that others can follow
After spending a small amount of time swapping file names with no effect
Code:
D:\ROM_Dev>adb remount
remount succeeded
D:\ROM_Dev>adb shell mv /system/etc/audio/Tx_ControlParams_WIRED_HEADPHONE_WIDEBAND.txt /system/etc/audio/Tx_ControlParams_SPEAKER_WIDEBAND.txt
D:\ROM_Dev>adb reboot
I tried this
Code:
D:\ROM_Dev>adb remount
remount succeeded
D:\ROM_Dev>adb shell rm -r /system/etc/audio
D:\ROM_Dev>adb reboot
Still no effect on the system, all audio, both directions in a call were as they were before, so i tried a wipe to see if that made a difference. Nope!
So in conclusion running a CM7.2 ROM (built by me) editing the files or removing the /system/etc/audio directory, does not seem to alter audio settings. So it begs the question, why is it there in the first place?
May need to confirm this on a stock ROM, but seeing as the Audio Hardware libraries are proprietary and not built from source, i would assume that it wouldn't have an effect there either.
Hello guys, i have a question here, i bought this tablet from Focalprice:
http://www.focalprice.com/CE0427B/Y...PX820_Dualcore_12GHz_Tablet_PC_with_WiFi.html
This tablet have the same specs of the Ippo Y88, BUT Y88 have 1.5ghz and mine have 1.2ghz, they use the SAME dualcore A5 processor, IMAPX820.
Well, i search on google, and use the tool here on XDA to find some information, but its impossible to find anything about this processor, and those tablets... I know they are simple tablets, but someone know if i can ROOT this thing using CWM and put some light ROM, or Cymod?
Thnaks for help, this forum is the best, and i love the Galaxy S3 forum!
This proc is new, or have some other name?

How is your answer supposed to help anybody? People buy cheap tablets for a lot of reasons, I bought this to use it for a home automation system and it's perfectly fit for this purpose.
I'm also interested in rooting it, so any information ( ROMs , ideas on how to root it or how to make a ROM dump without root, etc) would be much appreciated.

My answer helps as yours. I only wanted to say that Aldighieri is not the only person looking for a way to root it.
Maybe nobody will develop a rooting method for this kind of tablets, but there could be an existing method that works ¿isnt it? hope so.
Thanks all of u!
Calm down boys, hehe!
So, none know a way? Is impossible to root this thing? =/

If you or somebody else can provide/find the original ROM I might be able to root it. I'm not an expert but I've managed to root an "unrootable" android tv box once. I've asked the guys at focalprice for the ROM but they didn't answer my email and I don't have too much hope given their awful customer service.
Oh thanks! Ill try to find it with someone on ebay, or google, if i find it i tell you! Thanks! )
Same problem for me. Excelent tablet, bu timpossible to root. When I try (with different methods: unlockroot,z4root, superoneclick, root bin4ay, rootx...) a massage say that is rooted, but when I try to install Superuser don't work for me. Please, help!
I asked for sellers on ebay to try to find the rom with the providers, but have no awnser yet, if u can, try it too! ^^
Me too on focal price. If i know something, I will post about it. Is very a rare case...
Thanks.

Nice! Thanks!
Still no answer from focalprice on my side and I think the best chance to find the ROM is via ebay sellers. I've tried a few methods of rooting the tablet without any luck and I came to the conclusion (with my limited knowledge) that the problem is related to the file system the ROM is packed, which doesn't allow changing file permissions. I can't go further without risking bricking my tablet, but if we find the original ROM I may be able to unpack /repack it, changing the permissions in the process. It may be a long shot but it's worth a try.
Thanks everybody for your efforts!
Fast response from focalprice: a word file with how to use this tablet: on, off, mute, how listen to the music...wow!
IF you find the rom ok, but you can't use it because the recovery is not present on this tablet. If you can do somethins, please, post it.
Thanks :good:

Hello friends!
I'm completly frustated. Google is burned with my researches. I have found this video and I think that is our tablet, but this combination don't work for me. Any idea?
Thank you for the info. I've tried the method in the video and it doesn't work on my tablet either, so probably we have a different model. Even if there is no recovery mode as the guys from focalprice say, I am sure that the ROM can be updated/reinstalled somehow, via usb maybe?
I'll keep trying to make a ROM dump from my tablet and I'll post here if I succeed.

Okay, I found a way to root it, but its on different device (Infotmic GF20). Firstly you have to enter recovery mode with adb (adb reboot recovery), then disconnect and reconnect usb cable, enter adb shell. If you have # as prompt, you can continue - it will work on your device too - if not, you have to obtain firmware from seller to root it. If you have #, type
Code:
ubiattach -m 1
busybox mount -tubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /system
Then exit adb shell, get su binaries and supersu app, and pull them to the device:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb shell push supersu.apk /system/app/
Reboot device and it should work
OMG! Incredible!
My problem is the seller: they don't have the firmware, but I will try to understand all the process and I will try.
Thanks, thanks and thanks

Don't works for me. I can see the recovery (thanks), but when I unplug and plug the device, windows (xp) don't recognize the tablet. I use the Universal ADB drivers https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver, but I think that are the correct drivers. Any idea? Thanks! :good:
Here we have the solition, but I don't understand the recovery mode driver installation...
Hello there, it's been a while since I've been here, I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 last time I posted. Anyway...
I was trying to enable the Camera2 API, so I unlocked my bootloader for it. I followed a guide that explained how to do the API thing without installing a custom recovery or rooting, however while everything went well (no errors during the procedure), the API wasn't actually enabled. And I confirmed it by reading the build.prop file, finding out that the "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" line was not in it.
The guide I followed consisted in booting the TWRP recovery from fastboot, and pushing commands through adb shell that way; "setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1", to be precise. It didn't work though.
So naturally, I searched for another way, and found one that uses a different way of adding that line to the build.prop file, by pulling said file from the system partition, editing it on the PC running adb, pushing it back to /system, and setting the permissions through the following commands:
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Then, after editing the file through notepad++, adding the "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" line
Code:
adb push build.prop /system
to put it back, edited, and then to set the permissions
Code:
adb shell
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
My question is: can this second method be mixed with the frist one? Essentially, can I do the pull/edit/push/chmod series of commands off of a TWRP that I'm temporarily running via fastboot? Or does it have to be installed?
I know that you might wonder "why don't you just flash it, making your life easier?", but now it's a matter of principle, I need to know if this can be done without doing it. Plus, since I don't plan on doing anything else that needs it, it's kind of a waste of time having to then go back to the original recovery.
Hope someone can help me with this doubt, thanks in advance to anyone who will!
Hello,
I'm using some scripts that gather information from phones. Mainly IMEI number. However this stopped working;
adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 1
Normally it would return something like that:
Result: Parcel(
0x00000000: 00000000 0000000f 00350030 00320095 '........1.2.3.4.'
0x00000050: 00380035 00330030 00654083 00320058 '4.5.6.7.8.9.0.1.'
0x00000060: 00370097 00000033 '2.3.4... ')
But... with S22+ it does this:
Result: Parcel(fffffffc ffffffff 00000000 '............')
Something have changed... any one have any idea how to get IMEI from S22+ via ADB?
PS: phone is rooted, model SM-S906B
PPS: this method was working form S6 to S21
Edit:
It seems to be an FW issue, on first released S906BXXU1AVA7 it was working (with and w/o root).
Now I have issues on S906BXXU1AVC6.
BR, Doman.

Nope. ADB only. I know that there are apps...
Update; I can confirm that this is an FW issue. I've rolled back to S906BXXU1AVA7 and all is ok. Any thoughts?
Update 2; well... I know "whats up" now. Staring from S906BXXU1AVBF (second available FW) there is a change in Android 12 that deprecated some functions... there is possibility for a workaround, but it's not elegant. I'm currently working on it.
I am having the same issue. Were you able to make any progress?
Hey, yes, I have a method... you need to call a code *#06# an then retrieve IMEI from it.
Here's a working example:
adb shell "imei=$(input keyevent KEYCODE_CALL;sleep 1;input text '*#06#'; uiautomator dump --compressed /dev/stdout|sed s/\>\<\/\\n/g|grep -A1 IMEI|tail -n1|sed -e 's/.*text=\"//' -e 's/\".*//'); echo ${imei:0:16}"
The above line is not mine, I'm doing it a bit differently, but it still works.
You guys able to rewrite original imei?
i'm in trouble with my s22 U
This even works for older devices,
Code:
adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 1 s16 com.android.shell | cut -d "'" -f2| grep -Eo '[0-9]'| xargs| sed 's/\ //g'
Let me know if this works!
Thank you

Hi,
I have created a script to extract device information (including IMEI) which theoretically works on all Android versions.
For those interested: https://github.com/micro5k/microg-unofficial-installer/blob/main/utils/device-info.sh
Note: My script also works on Windows, it just need BusyBox for Windows to be executed.

These service calls can vary for the different versions of Android! You should be aware of this because you don't know what will happen for all the different devices and versions. It could be very dangerous for users to execute them.
Where to find info on Android's "service call" shell command?
Using adb shell or a terminal emulator on the device, entering this will clear all notifications (requires su) service call notification 1 This will send an sms (doesn't require su) service call...

IMEI is also written on the phone's package.
