Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Since we can evoke su in adb, could we somehow manipulate with the AppLauncher to include more functionalities?
I am thinking about recreating the TAObao version of the home screen, say, adding a browser, or a general app catalog, etc.
It would be nice to have these additional features, since we've come so far.
Thanks!
yes，the would be a wonderful feather
There is a non-trivial way to customize the home button, as I added in README.md. I suspect taobao wrote their own Launcher that mimics the stock one, as the stock launcher does not have categories.
Ideally we need an app that automates all these.. but for now I get no time to implement it.
Unfortunately I encounter AppLauncher Crash when I install shortcut of Android Settings and Browser into the home screen., using the fixed provided
I have tried remove these two extra folders from dp-extension path, but it still crashes after I reboot the system.
Any idea what the issue might be?
Many thanks!
can you post what
adb logcatsays about applauncher?First of all - this is amazing work you guys are doing here.
Secondly - to be on point - some pictures of a modified menu would be of great value. And of a 3rd party Android app running on the device (maybe an EPUB reader or - I would love to see that - Mendeley Desktop?).
Unfortunately AppLauncher has stopped. my DPT-CP1 also crashed after i added a shorcut of android settings.
i tried to recovery the system image via DTG mode with the bakup of boot.img , the AppLauncher also crashed when reboot.
any guys could help to resolve this issue ? Thanks.
you have to reinitialize the DPT in order to recover, this is the only way.
First, make sure that you backup all your files in your PC,
then, run:
adb shell am start -a com.sony.capas.setting.intent.action.SETTINGS_TOP
This will evoke settings for you
Then, under Device settings, reinitialize the DPT,
Hope this will help
Thanks Antiparadox, the reset function of DPT system can't work.
i'm trying flash system.img following this guide : https://github.com/HappyZ/dpt-tools/issues/14
hope the home applauncher will come back.
it's so confusing , the issue still is here .
flash system would not work, since all your modification remains in cache.
Could you explain what you did to dp_extensions?
Also, try to go to Android settings:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS
then clear all cache.
If the issue is still there, try sent me a cap of log cat app launcher.apk, this would probably reveal something suspicious
I modified a new icon for android setting function via URI which could be launched in CMD ADB following guide. And pull the folder dp_extensions to my local Mac. That’s all, reboot and crashed.
Maybe I can’t use ADB since i’ve update boot.img morning.
Have you tried reinitialized DPT already? This is how I get rid of this issue.
could you post contents of the modified .xml file?
Ive tried reset function in Android stetting before flash boot.img and system.img.
And insert the reset button besides power.
Later I submit the xml.
TO clarify, reset in Android settings won't work, since the original Sony is untouched.
Did you reinitialize DPT in Sony DPT settings? (The settings menu that come with Sony software)
My situation is the same as him @JacobJacob . I tried this method but it didn't work.
thanks @Antiparadox for helping.
and @JacobJacob @que01, flashing
system.imgdoes not work because it remains the cache of that app state in user data. You have to do a hard reset frominitialize digital paperin Sony'sDPT settings. It will reformat all user data.But if you want to wait a bit till next weekend, I shall be able to find where the cache is and fix this without wiping out the entire system.
Many thanks @HappyZ , @Antiparadox for your all reply.
i found i can't access Sony's DPT settings since the Applauncher crashed. and so far i lost the ADB shell bcz i've flash a bakup of boot.img. maybe i should flash a boot.img with ADB shell.
here is my xml for your review:
``
So, any ideas for me to wipe ALL current configurations of DPT system , Guys?
Did you remove the folders you added and then do the reset?
FYI, while helping Antiparadox, I also asked Antiparadox to do the following before the reset:
Appsand clear the cache for AppLauncher.dalvik-cacheof the system: (in adb sudo)This issue is weird to me as I can't reproduce what happened to you all. If you have the folder that causes this malfunction, can you zip it and send it to me so I can try it? I modified many times that crash the ExtensionManagerService but once I changed it back it's working fine.. I'll have more time to dig more next weekend.
Thanks a lot @HappyZ , let me know you email address for zip sending and if you need other logs of current devices.
use yz@9pm.me
It seems to be because I run command
chmod 0644 *in /etc/dp_extensions/ ? how to fix it ?Possibly. You need to do
chmod 0755 <folder/path>for all folders under/etc/dp_extensions/.........it work!..........please update the readme.md!!!!
cool !
cheers! I have added to readme.md one more line of
cd MyTemplateVery thanks for you . and hope everyone could avoid this problem
@que01 did you just change the permission of the MyTemplate folder ? i found i've delete this folder yesterday.
although i've finished the flash process, the app installed yesterday , such as Kindle, is still in my DPT-CP1. so funny.
i deleted it , and run 'chmod 0644 * ' when the cwd is /etc/dp_extensions/.
and i just change the permission(755) for /etc/dp_extensions/* folder
I have found where the
cacheis that causes the un-recoverable issue. Will updateREADME.md.My dpt-cp1 home Applauncher has come back from yesterday evening lost.
Thanks a lot for @Antiparadox @HappyZ @que01
As all your recommendations , i've done the following steps to solve this issue:
1, ADB shell, chmod 0755 /etc/dp_extensions/*
2, install a third party launcher app - nolauncher
3, with nolauncher , launch the function initialize digital paper in Sony's DPT settings
Thanks all your help.
Thank you JacobJacob. It looks amazing.
@JacobJacob Hi, how could u push your *.png file to the device? I use the command "adb root“ & ”adb remount" but it does not work. Error : read-only Thanks:)
