Advice on rooting, creating backup, and installing custom ROM

Hi, guys...I just unrooted, factory restored, and used flashtool to fully restore my sprint lgls990 following some connectivity issues. My phone is currently on android 4.4.2.

I am seeking some advice/help on basically end-to-end help. Initially, I used stump to root my phone and then installed xposed and a few other items.

What I want to do now is run the easiest root possible, create a backup, and then install a custom rom. Specifically, I'd like to use CM10 CM11: Royal Blue Cobalt from the Play Store.

I have a strong concern about rom stability, though. I want/need lte data, wifi, phone, playstore, maps, and the like, but don't want to sprint bloatware crap. Is that what a custom ROM does, keep the essentials and dump the carrier crap?

So:
I think using stump will be the easiest root process.

I have read lots about twrp, but haven't found very good instructions for a noob like me, can anyone point me to "the" thread for installing and using twrp?

Where do I find the rom so I can use the theme I have noted above?

Thanks in advance for helping this noob...

Creating a game app, looking for developer programs

Hi, I'm new here! I have been interested in creating my own android games for a time now and just decided to give it a try, so I'm looking for a software where I can develop my games.

I have some basic knowledge in java and been playing around a bit in Android Studio. What would be the easiest way for a beginner to create his first android game? At the start, now when I'm new to app development, I will make simple games like memory match or quiz game, and after that try creating games that require some physics, like a "runner game" or platform game.

I have found three options:
-Android Studio
-Unity3d
-Game Maker: studio

Does any of you have any idea what software to use? Are any of these three options any good? I have also heard it might be possible to use Android Studio as a plugin for Unity3d or something like that... I just want to create simple 2D-games, not any advanced 3D-games. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks :o

Creating new rom from AOSP

I am a bit of a noob but would it be possible to create a device-specific rom from source code (if you add parts from other working roms to make it bootable/add button functionality) if so, how would I do it?:confused:

Creating a BLE remote keyboard

I want to use BLE to develop an application to use my Android as PC Keyboard. I know Play Store is filled out with a bunch of remote apps but I just need this to send a sentence to the PC field after pressing a button in my Android App.

Where should I start?
I've developed some android apps and I'm used to Android SDK and API.

Is there anyway to send keys to the PC?
I imagine I need a server on the PC.

Does anybody knows about any opensource project related to this?

Thank you in advance. I'm lost at the moment. Cannot figure out a way to get on this.

[Q] Creating fix for 5.1 "Black Screen of Death"

The "black screen of death" is an error that's been occurring in X1095 devices after the 5.1 update. Google "moto x 5.1 black screen" and you'll see numerous complaints of the same:

I encountered this problem while on vacation so I stand to lose all of my vacation photos if I do a factory reset. I would sooner send my phone to a forensics lab and have them de-solder the memory and destructively recover my files, than perform a factory reset.
BUT I would much rather create a fix that everyone can benefit from, if possible. :)

The symptoms are:
- Phone at lock screen is an unresponsive black screen
- Active display works, but trying to open any apps through notifications brings me to the black screen.
- Camera opens by shaking, but can't interact with the screen. Volume button doesn't take picture. I CAN take pictures by using the camera timer on my Moto 360 watch.
- Voice commands work, Google Now opens normally, but can't interact with it. It invariably brings me to the "Unlock your phone to continue/say cancel to stop" but there's nowhere for me to apply my pattern lock. I am able to tap the blue word "cancel."
- Status bar and software buttons (back, home, recent apps) do not appear in any screens. The only way to determine battery level is through ambient display.
- I CAN launch Navigation through my Moto 360 watch without the "unlock your phone" dialog. Navigation functions normally except rotation is stuck in portrait, and I cannot interact with it except via the watch.
- I CAN send SMS etc through my Moto 360 watch. All of android wear seems to be functioning normally, except after wiping my phone's cache partition through stock recovery I no longer see notifications via watch.
- Phone is continually warm, can barely maintain charge even when plugged in.
- Holding the power button brings up the "Power off" popup which is clickable. Restarting in Safe Mode results in the same but with the words Safe Mode strewn across the lower left.

The culprit appears to be that com.android.systemui is broken, perhaps amongst other things. I believe this because:
- Apps all work fine
- No status bar or nav buttons display


Path #1:
Since the Pure Edition supports ADB Sideload with stock recovery and locked bootloader, my ideal solution would be to create an "OTA" zip package someone could sideload. It would basically spoof an update to replace com.android.systemui and clear all its (presumably corrupt) data. Is this possible? I've spent a lot of time researching, but I can't for the life of me figure out how ota zips are actually formulated. Is it like adb push where I can sideload the .apk I want from the stock ROM, or does it require something more elaborate such as building a version of the OS? This would be perfect because anyone with the Pure Edition could un-brick their phone, at least long enough to recover their files.

Path #2:
Since my Moto 360 seems to have access to my phone, I could conceivably connect it to my computer through adb and create a rescue app that uses the watch to retrieve my files off my phone. This would sadly only work for people who have smartwatches.

Path #3:
Wait for the next official OTA update and hope and pray that it fixes the issue when I sideload it. I have the luxury of setting my phone aside and being patient, but that doesn't work for most people. There is also the chance that the OTA does nothing.


Any advice how to get started on the sideload front? I'm willing to do the leg work, I just need help going the right direction.

Tool for creating pure android ROM. An idea for Google Android guys.

Original Post : linkedin.com/pulse/google-android-guys-here-idea-you-prashantha-mundkod

Today, I have some business ideas for Google Android guys..:)

Idea
A tool (a desktop tool and/or android app tool ) for creating ROM and installing stock android.

This tool basically does 3 major tasks.

1. Reads hardware information of an Android device through the desktop/android tool and creates a stock android ROM for that device.

2. Creates a super user , roots the device , installs the ROM created in step 1.

3. Provides an option to keep/remove the super user after the installation based on user sophistication.

(Alternatively, tool will install a generic stock android and then look for appropriate drivers for the device after the installation)

Why do we need a tool ?
Here is what I found while playing around with stock android.

1. Majority of handset manufacturers simply don't bother provide updates . Even if they do, its ridiculously delayed.

2. The UI created by most manufacturers is not innovative or user friendly. They are loaded with ridiculous amount of bloatware. Since they don't bother to provide timely updates either, end user is stuck with an older version of Android regardless of device's capability to support newer versions of android.

3. For an average user, there is no simple way to install a stock android . Users are in mercy of tech forums and developers who volunteer to create custom ROM. Expecting a ROM from volunteers for all devices out there is unrealistic . Trusting those ROMs is another biggest concern as well. Despite the volunteer efforts , installing a stock android ROM still needs some level of IT knowledge , not the cup of tea of an average android user.

4. There is no generic stock android ROM. Reason perhaps is that, creating a package with drivers for thousands of manufacturers would be practically not feasible as the package size would be enormous.

User Experience
An end user who wants a stock android doesn't need to be an IT guy and the tool should be simple to user. Example : Click a button that would read hardware and create the package, next user interaction is a prompt asking the user to install the stock android ROM. All other user interactions such as retaining super user etc is an an option for advanced users.

Manufacturers
Any custom UI or App package a manufacturer wants to push for their device should be updated as App package from manufacturer over a pure android . (Example : Once user install the stock android, manufacturers like Samsung, can push their app like Galaxy gifts etc as a package. )

This would shorten the development cycle for manufacturers as well. Thus updating Android for their device becomes purely a app package for an android version , rather than individual device.

Advantages
For users, clearly the benefit is the ability to have most updated software and experience of pure android and freedom from abandonment of device from manufacturers.
For Google (and Android as a platform ), one of the biggest competitive disadvantage is , its fragmentation. One of the reason for fragmentation is that, for a large number of devices, simply there is no easy way to update the software. The tool could help solve fragmentation issues.

The tool may be included as part of Google's attempt for Android One initiative. Certainly , no explanation is necessary on how it benefits Google from having one single version of android in all (or at-least as many devices as possible) android devices.

For now, that's it . When i am free, I will post the details on how exactly they should do it .

Experts... What do you think ?
