ELF Applications and News [general info]

[tuyie78]

Thanks to all the great modders behind this work..

What is ELF??
ELF is a binary format for linux-based phones. Every program is distributed like independent file. However it have one big advantage over Java - the program is directly using the processor and memory resources, without any virtual machine limitations. In other words - ELF programs are faster programs.


How to install??
1) Apply Elfpack.fpa and Register.fpa patches
2) Copy Elf folder to /b/
3) Dont forget to update elfloader.lib if newer versions are available
4) To Create a menu for Elf, you have to edit your mma_ucp and add motomixer in multimedia.
Do this seem edit for motomixer [Seem 0032_0001, Offset 51, Bit 5(check)]

TUTORIAL ON HOW TO PORT THE ELF PACK

[Jithin]

Can anyone describe the function of each??

[prasasti]

Yes, the readme is still in russia.

[BruceLee]

* Battery_.zip
    keeps the funlights on with the corresponding color of the battery status
* AutuLock.zip
    autolock keypad
* build.rar
    the updated elf pack
* RedMenu.zip
    don't really know (it's in russian), i think it has some shutdown menu (restart, shutdown, bootloader) or something like this

[are_goenk]

Anyone has tried the new elf applications?
My phone restarts when I try to execute it

[avatar_43]

* RedMenu.zip
    don't really know (it's in russian), i think it has some shutdown menu (restart, shutdown, bootloader) or something like this

Sounds like the patch,

I've tried the battery app but I just keep getting a restart like are_goenk ...Sounds kinda cool too, 

[BruceLee]

You must replace your old elf library (from b\elf) with the new one provided in build.rar

I've attached the library. Just download and replace the old one.

[NiKSY]

That library is different for every firmware... Also, om2804`s ELFs need special library (different than 18/12/07 one...)...
Im using 42R and all of these work with that library
Cheers!

[BruceLee]

the library attached in the previous post works just fine for 49R

[NiKSY]

Sorry, I wasnt talking about THAT library, than about every elf functions library... Sorry for confusion, I didnt say your library doesnt work

[alemurillo]

Hi!
The app redmenu, When you activate that elf aplication, appear a menu whit options: Powerdown, restart, bootloader, java killer. To change the language option or ad more options to menu just edit the redmenu.res and replace the russian caracters to englis...in order: fast powerdown, powerdown, restart, bootloader, javakiller.
To work the ap demon.elf you need ad in auto.run /b/elf/demon.elf. That replace the menu powerdown patch, that elf ap its in background and When you press the red bottom for half second appear the red menu whit the options before mentioned.

Greattings.

pd. Sorry for my bad english.

[BruceLee]

thanks for the explanation

[NiKSY]

Battery elf will show you the status of the battery by side LED lights...It will keep them on all the time, so I guess it spends some battery
AutoLock elf will lock your keypad in given time in .cfg file.

And that build.rar, I guess it contains files needed for creating functions library for om2804`s ELFs.

Cheers!

[are_goenk]

I'd like to share another elf applications.

Copy all files to elf folder on your TransFlash and execute it using ELF FBrowser.

If values of timers sets to 0, it won't work.
Brightness of the display will smoothly decrease to a minimum level according to time of illumination.

2. Restart --> restart the phone
3. Bootloader --> switch to bootloader

@ NiKSY

To work the ap demon.elf you need ad in auto.run /b/elf/demon.elf. That replace the menu powerdown patch, that elf ap its in background and When you press the red bottom for half second appear the red menu whit the options before mentioned.

It doesn't work for me. When I press the red button nothing shown on the screen. Why?
