After tempering with a few settings and adding and deleting IRS files I seem to have deleted (or misplaced) the folder where the IRS files for Viper can be stored(sdcard/Viper4android) . I've tried uninstalling/re-installing Viper it but to no avail, the folder doesn't get created by Viper anymore. My stored profiles and a few IRS files are still selectable on the Viper4android app and usable when loaded but I can't add new ones. This leads me to believe there must still be a folder somewhere that contains these files but I haven't got a clue where. I've also tries recreating the folder myself on /sdcard and pair it with Viper4android via ESFileExplorer but this didn't help at all. A simple search on ESfileExplorer came up clean and Dr Google has no help for me either. I remember upon first install Viper created the folder and also created the subfolders too. In those folders I was able to load IRS files for the convolver without a hitch. Those days are gone and i call upon my fellow Redittors to lend my noobishness a little hand.
I just got a new Bose QC35 from the wife and i'm eager to make the most out of it
I have a Samsung S6 setup with root, still using the basic Samsung set-up.

In my rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab I put my own preferred ringtone into the system/media/audio/ringtones folder and rebooted and it was selectable in the list which was good albeit a long search throught the list of junk.
Then I thought why can't I delete all the rubbish ringtones in that folder which I would never want, so I just deleted about 27 ringtones but not the numbered tones. Then when I go to settings-sound, notifications ringtone, call ringtone and Feedback settings are all buggered (as in greyed out). Rebooting didn't fix it so I had to reboot into recovery and reinstall system from Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip and everything was back to normal.
One question remains, what if I delete the unwanted ringtones from the Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip and try again. Surely there is nothing in the system that would need these useless files. I had to prepare the zip file on the PC and use WIFI File Explorer to get it into the SdCard (my preferred ringtone included).
Reinstalled from recovery with the modified zip and BINGO; it worked.
Now I wonder if I can do the same with the numbered .ogg files as most of them are also useless. I'm sure it will work and it would be nice to just have two or three real ringtones in the selection list.
I suppose I'm making a big job of it but I have not discovered a simpler way to delete these unwanted files. There is an app called RingDroid but it is for unrooted phones and doesn't address the real problem which is the buggy system that prevents us from simplifying the system for personal use.
Hello all.
All of my mobile devices are Samsung devices (2 Phones and 2 Tablets) all but one device is rooted, and all are on stock Lollipop ROM. I have went through my phone (Note 3) and removed all the bloatware and have it pretty trim and fit. I want to do the same also for my tablet (Galaxy Tab S). I poured over a bunch of safe to remove type lists and compiled a list of what I could remove and tested things out on my phone. All went well until I got to KNOX and I guess I got a little aggressive (searched for everything with 'knox' in it and deleted what I could), and when I rebooted it got stuck on the boot sequence. No idea why. So I wiped and started over and then used Uninstall ROOT from the Playstore and just deleted the Knox entries that showed up there and that worked better.
Once I was happy that all was working as it should I installed all the normal apps that I use and things have been working perfectly. So I turned my attention to the tablet. I used the list of bloatware from my phone and found, as would be expected, there was much the same with respect to the bloatware just different names.
On my phone, in order to remove the .apk file and the odex files I just deleted the folder since they were in the same place. The odex files were in a sub-folder named 'arm'. I thought with the tablet it would just be easier to use some kind of script run from recovery to delete all the folders and be done with it in a matter of a minute or two if that long instead of doing it manually. To my surprise I found one already made that even used the Aroma installer so you could just select what you wanted to remove, which seemed perfect, except it didn't work. It was removing nothing despite the fact when the script ran it looked like it was doing all it should. Looking at the script that ran, some of the file names were wrong and it wasn't pointing to the 'arm' folder to remove the odex files. So I modified the script to test and set it to remove just one folder as a trial run. The script ran, but did nothing. It seems redundant to me to remove the .apk file and the odex file separately when you can just delete the folder and do in one action. However, I am at a loss as to how to accomplish that from the script.
One of the scripts is Bloatware Removal Script 1.
I can't seem to find the location that I got the one with the Aroma installer, but I have the file on my computer.
So, all this said (I wanted you all to know the process I went through in hopes it would help) to ask, how would one delete a folder from recovery using a script. The CoolBoy script uses:
Code:
delete("/system/app/Chrome.apk");
But not only does it not delete the apk, if I drop the file extension to delete the folder, it does not do that either. The Aroma installer option seems perfect, I just am not familiar with the command that would needed to be used in order to delete the folder. Thanks for reading my long winded post and for any help.
I recently installed ViPER4Android on my asus zenfone 2 laser with cm 13 and got it working, the tutorial say to copy the irs files to
"InternalStorage/ViPER4Android/kernel" but whenever I lauch the app and go to the convolver section they are not showing up, when I installed ViPER4Android there were already some irs files showing up but I cant seem to find them using the computer, maybe they are build in to the app? (Some DFX irs files)
I dont know where else to put the files on the internal storage, if anybody know how to fix this please leave a comment
Heya,
A while ago, my phone, which is a samsung A3 from 2015, got an update to marshmallow.
That's cool ofcourse and it runs awesome! but I like when my phone has a nice, clean and organized system and Samsung does not do that for all apps.
What I mean is that
- Some apps are odexed, and some apps are not AND some apps are odexed, but the apk file still contains a classes.dex file.
- Some apps have a folder with libs inside the app directory, and some have this folder inside the apk file AND some have this folder inside both
So ideally, i would like all apps to follow the same structure ofcourse, which would be no classes and lib files inside the apk, and then separate oat and lib folders containing the odexes and libs.
In lollipop this was easily done by copying these files out of the apk and putting them in separate folders, then removing them from the apk itself. My phone accepted this, the apps would run as though nothing had happened and it made me feel happy
However now that i'm on marshmallow, everything i do to an apk to change it results in getting a parsing error with that apk, after which it either becomes very fragile or completely broken.
One way I have found to get around this so far is to resign the apk, but for a lot of apps resigning it makes android ignore the app completely.
So the question is...
Is there something I can change somewhere to make marshmallow act like lollipop in these cases and not care that i removed files from apk's in an attempt to odex or delib them?
Any help would be much appreciated
Further info
- I have also noticed this on an S5 / SM-G900F running marshmallow
- I have not tested this on aosp or lineage because there are no suitable roms for my phone to test this with, and I would not want to use them over stock anyway.
- I have not run into this before marshmallow, it was always fine with me editing apk's like this in older versions of android.
- I am not ready to get over my ocd and accept this :crying:
No one? I suppose it is a really tough question.
So I got around the duplication of lib files by putting the actual libs in the appname\lib\arm folder and then placing zero length lib***.so placeholder files inside the apk.
this somehow keeps the apk intact and does not cause a parse error and makes the app work as it should, even across data wipes, reboots, backups and restores.
putting zero length classes.dex files inside the apk however doesn't work. Although this also doesn't cause a parsing error, the app actually tries to transform the empty classes into dalvik cache and then it breaks.
I'm still open to better suggestions
At first, sorry if that's the wrong thread, i'm not really used to forums.
Now lets get to my problem.
I made a backup of my audio files to my computer a few weeks ago.
Since the backup i downloaded some files via youtube downloader etc.
Yesterday i saw that some of my music is missing on my phone i backed up on my computer.
So i got on my computer opening the folder with all the backuped audio files/folders, marked them all and just copied them to my audio/music folder on my phone.
I did not get the message "do you want to keep/skip/override already exusting files"
my plan was to skip all files already existing, but it seems it just copied ALL files and now i have some twice or three times, but not all.
and now the Problem: all files i downloaded after the backup a few weeks ago (and moved to the same folder where my music is) went into 0 byte files and i cannot use them anymore.
any idea why and how to solve this/get my files back???
