[MOD][DEV][VIDEO] Debranding Rooted Rogers/AT&T One X (1.82 safe)[Updated 05.14.2012]
Now that you have root, you most likely want to de-brand your device... but since we don’t have any rom's yet or a flashing method available, you'll have to do things manually for the time being.
FYI AT&T Users: This debranding will not remove all the tiny additions to framework that AT&T has made (like the AT&T 4G logo in your notification bar).
Notes:
- Look at the changes to the added files, Note for yourself what the changes are instead of talking b.s. and complaining that you're having problems with 'this' or 'that' when 'this' or 'that' has nothing to do with the changes this mod makes.
- Substitutions to the process are NOT acceptable and anyone not following the process to the Letter will not be helped if you are experiencing issues.
- If you're a new user, please watch the following video.
DO NOT USE 'ROOT EXPLORER', USE ES FILE EXPLORER!
• Go into settings->power and uncheck 'fastboot' <-THIS IS IMPORTANT (It is like 'Hibernate' in Windows)
• Download es file explorer from the market and grant it root access and make /system/ mountable (done in the app's settings, two seperate settings - one for root, one for mountable / & /system/ )
• Extract the contents of the attached zip to the internal pc-usb mountable storage. (its a folder named 'system')
• Use file explorer cut to the 'system' folder you extracted and then paste into ' / ' overwriting existing files.
• Reboot your device
• Delete the items listed in the attached text found within their respective directories as dictated in the text.
***(You will get force close/error messages for the files you've just deleted, this is normal)***
• Reboot your device again and you'll be free of bloatware and branding.
(OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) • Reset/Data Wipe your phone as shown in the video.
The Video is for those new to Android & Depicts the Rogers debranding, AT&T procedure is identical, files to remove are different.
Please Note: 'Fastboot' is already turned off in the video
I made the video late at night, and sorry about it being slightly out of focus.
Also, correction, the /sdcard/ partition is what I ment by 'SD Card'
You now have a 'Vanilla' HTC One XL!
(the real name of the device)
What’s included in the zip:
(you can remove the media_profiles.xml from the files to copy over, if you want to leave the camera the way it is!)
• Up-to-date hosts file (Rogers & AT&T)
• Edited WiFi config files for better wifi performance (Rogers & AT&T)
• Edited media_profiles (Rogers & AT&T)
- decrease the compression of images (95,80,70 is now 100,95,90)
- increased max size for pictures by both camera's.
- increased max frame rate of non-timelapse video's from 30 to 60 fps (so if more frames can be captured it will!)
- increase duration of rear camera video recording from 30 to 60 minutes
• Cleaned up build.prop's (Rogers & AT&T, both are different)
• Edited default.xml's removing branding and customizations (Rogers & AT&T)
• Restores Missing system apps like Flashlight, FM Radio, MySkydrive (AT&T)
• Increased MMS size's & removed the AT&T mail signature (AT&T)(Roger's one doesnt need this, wern't crippled to begin with)
UPDATE:
• Added more selectable languages
• Changed build props a little (for uniformity).
• Changed the included apps in the AT&T build to deodexed ones (like the ones I posted in the other thread)
• Added the original VoiceDialer that was omitted (both versions)
(NOTE: FACTORY DATA RESET WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. YOU WILL NOT LOOSE ROOT)
