android 11 and /sbin removal - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

if /sbin was removed in android 11, then why is my sm-t860 still referencing it?
Bash:
echo $PATH
/sbin:/sbin/su:/su/bin:/su/xbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:/sbin::.
is it a vestige from stock firmware?

Compiled mkbootimg for x86 linux?

Can anybody compile mkbootimg for linux x86? Since the one's I found in other threads dosen't have --base support. And I don't understand how you compile the mkbootimg.h :/
Here you go.
Simple advice: do an android generic build so you'll get lots of usefull tools compiled.

How could i compile mkbootimg?
Download AOSP
. build/env_setup.sh (Make sure your SHELL is bash(Or at least not zsh)
make mkbootimg
Or
make mkbootimg mkbootfs fastboot adb
(If you have to do a full build you can but for few tools might as well not).
I now this thread is a bit old, but there may be some people able to solve my problem here..

That works indeed! And I am on OS X with MacPorts. Thanks guys!
Now… I needed to compile a different mkbootimg, the one that makes use of md5, for the bcm21553 CPU family. I had the full directory with the Android.mk and the .c file. I solved removing the mkbooting directory from the AOSP and putting this new one instead.
Isn't there any other way? I hoped it was just a matter of writing make in the new module/tool directory after setting the environment but such isn't the case.
And another thing: what the heck are the .mk files?? Are they specific to the Android SDK? I can't find anything in Internet.

[REQ][ICS][GSM] Notification Drop Down Toggles

Hi
I loved the drop down toggles on Epsilon rom and I was wondering if any dev by any chance could make one for stock GSM razr ics? That would be awesome because the you cant get rid of the notification icon on the apps that is in the market. I would really appreciate that and I hope it's not that big of a problem. A recovery zip that is compatible with bootmenu 0.2.7(the latest version on market) and something in the style of the epsilon rom clean and goes with motoblur stock? http://miralaonline.net/images/7g2av.png
Thank you!

i don't know if it will work, i never tried, it's a little bit complicated to make it working, if you never mod APK it's hard to do it.
oh OK I'll check if I am de-odex or not but I hope this thread can stay here so maybe someone can make flashable zip for official ICS releases:good:
and maybe someone can make flashable file for odexed?
Apparently I am odexed, so I would be grateful if someone could release this mod to work with latest official ics and for odexed system, I bet there is people out there who would love to have this also. Thanks

Hmm OK I would be grateful if you could edit the code because I will simply copy it and paste it :laugh::good:
I followed that guide and I think I am de-odexed now, I ran your code
Code:

ls -l /system/app/ | grep odex
and I got this
Code:
C:\Program\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
ls -l /system/app/ | grep [email protected]_spyder:/ $
de-odexed or not?
Also if I just want notification toggles, do I need to copy this whole code or is it unnecessary?
Code:
adb push SystemUI.apk /tmp/
adb push services.jar /tmp/
adb push android_policy.jar /tmp/
adb shell
su
mv /system/app/SystemUI.apk /tmp/SystemUI.apk.bak
mv /system/framework/services.jar /tmp/services.jar.bak
mv /system/framework/android_policy.jar /tmp/android_policy.jar.bak
mv /tmp/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
mv /tmp/services.jar /system/framework/
mv /tmp/android_policy.jar /system/framework/
chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
chmod 644 /system/framework/android_policy.jar
reboot
I only downloaded toggle_battery.zip unpacked it and put it in android-sdk\platform-tools
correct?
PS. I only need the notification toggles and not the 1% battery, is there a way to just flash the notification toggles seperate?
Appreciate your help and time, sevenup30

Perfect repair, JB, led bar, tutorial

The tutorial is very simple,
First of all I would like to thank @NoobCoder, IF script, although is wrong! But I want to thank him!
1: unpacking the kernel, in init.rc
Search
Set this property so surfaceflinger # is not started by system_init
Setprop system_init.startsurfaceflinger 0
Let's add
# xiangxin: fix LED
Start data_restore
Then in the last added
# Xiangxin: FIX LED service
Service data_restore /sbin/data_restore.sh
User root
Oneshot
Disabled
OK, init.rc is corrected, download the attachment to data.tar, data_restore.sh
Added to the kernel, the /sbin directory!
The attachment of the system directory into your ZIP package!
OK tutorial end!

he worked only for stock...so i believe stock 4.1
It's for stock only.
He inserted a bash script in init.rc to run during boot. This script will place the light_themes and lightservice.soc in /data with the related dalvik-cache so that illumination_service can find the necessary files to light up the led bar.
Nice approach @xx214718247 bro

Also....will this work if we wipe data/ factory reset??

if all kernels include this then no need to flash my fix.
Since it's in the kernel, even after wiping data/cache, it'll work.
@xx214718247, so every time phone boots, it'll run data_restore.sh and replace light_themes and lightservice.soc. Wouldn't it remove our last saved color and set it back to default everytime ??

you can check if the file exists or not. If doesn't exist then run the bash script. I'm not expert in bash but it should work.
Code:
if [ -f light_themes -a -f lightservice.soc ];
then
# do nothing
else
run the script
fi

Wanting To Learn Custom Rom Development

Hi Respected XDA Developers,
I am really interested in making a custom ROM for Note 5 (N920C). I am really new to these things, I have seen tutorials on XDA for developing ROM's from source, I don’t want to do that, I want to modify stock ROM of my device like I want to ROOT , BusyBox, Fonts, 5-way reboot,Build.prop tweaks, galaxy s6 edge features, battery saving tweaks and many other kind of useful tweaks.
So Please Will Someone Guide Me In This Process, I want to become a developer, I need the help of other senior developer.
Hopefully you people will help me out
I want to make custom Rom with editing stock touchwiz Rom too. I can't find tutorial like we want. I hope someone will help us ASAP.

Where it says sick you need to change to your file name. You need to change it everywhere it says sick.
Open a terminal, type ./installs. It will ask you for your password. Type it in. The script is automated.....when it comes to java you need to say "ok".....
Let me know when your done.

Advice/help for creating root methods?

Hi, I've been programming for a few years now. I primarily made Windows and Linux programs. In the last 6 months, I've followed guides on XDA to root a few of my devices and installed a custom ROM on one (it worked great). I was wondering if anyone experienced in actually developing rooting methods would be able to point me in the right direction for developing my own. Are there any good resources I could use to learn the process? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Rooting Android simply means to add SU-binary to Android, preferredly to /system/bin or /system/xbin.
