Not working on android 10+ #25

Open godverrdi opened 1 year ago

godverrdi commented 1 year ago

Hi Iran doesn't use daylight savings time anymore but android 10 automatically uses DST I don't know how to disable it I tried disabling Automatic time zone settings and set it manually but some of my apps lost connection with internet I was hoping your module would help me but it didn't Could you please release an update with disabled DST for Iran It should be +3:30 but right now it is +4:30

Also tried to replace tzdata from a device thet shows time correctly but didn't work :(

kingofnull commented 1 year ago

Try this tzdata-2022g files they should cover new DST policy in Iran (all 2021a and newer cover). replace them tzdata file with same file in module.

And if you are using miui it may happened because changes doesn't applied correctly. I believe miui doesn't read timezone configuration from /system/usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata. I applied some patches from recovery and when I booted to system and check changed files from android filed explorer they are not there! But if I go back and check from recovery they are applied! (I used OrangeFox recovery to replace files).

tzdata-2022g.zip

Main generator and files are available from here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/timezone/+archive/refs/heads/pie-dev.tar.gz

godverrdi commented 1 year ago

I replaced files and installed module and I can tell that tzdata file has changed successfully but DST is still applied in my region which it should not be. And I'm using Lineage OS not miui. It's not just me... some other android devices has this issue. I absolutly have no idea what to do

pulsarice commented 1 year ago

I manually replaced tzdata in /data/misc/zoneinfo/ and /system/usr/share/zoneinfo/ and it worked on an old android 7.1 device. (Iran is +3:30 now)

godverrdi commented 1 year ago

I don't know what's wrong with my phone maybe it's reading time zones from some other file Anyway thanks for your help :)

How do you replace files from recovery or from android file manager? If you are changing them from recovery and you have a stock miui ROM your changes will not apply to real booted system partition!

I replaced tzdata 2022g with tzdataN and tzdataO in module and installed it... and I checked it with file manager. my tzdata's size in /system/usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata has changed so I can tell that it was replaced successfully... and also I'm not using miui I didn't touch tz_version since I didn't know what to write in it /data/misc/zoneinfo/ was empty still I added tzdata to /data/misc/zoneinfo/current to see if it works which it didn't

I tried TimeZone Fixer by force and it failed... but it also says that tzdata in my phone is 2022g after that tried Timezone Updater which it failed too... and this is the log

[21:27:03] >>> TIME ZONE DATABASE [21:27:03] Getting latest version ... wget: bad address 'data.iana.org' [21:27:03] fail [21:27:03] An error has occurred. Exiting. [21:27:03] .

apparently it cannot reach the web address, I tried vpn but still failed.

now I'm stuck :/

kingofnull commented 1 year ago

You must use tzdataN and rename it to tzdata. In some roms like MIUI you must root your device to force UI to read changes. Try magisk and report the result. A good way to investigate is to rename tzdata if your ui break after boot , you found the right file.

not working with miui android 10 i can confirm files in /system/usr/share/zoneinfo/ are changed but nothing happened in time zones i delete all files in zoneinfo and after reboot all back again so changing those file are useless

Android 10 has implemented and zero free space portion lock on system partition you must resize partition to have some free space on system partition. Resizing portions in android is dangerous and advance act. Back up all partitions specially presist partition. You can read more about procedure here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-make-your-system-rw-super-r-w-read-write-able.4258745/

⚠️ Important Update ⚠️

tzdata2021a and lower doesn't cover Iran's new time zone! ❌

Only tzdata2022g and newer is approved to fix Iran's new time zone. ✔️

I fix module problems with Magisk25 and add new files of 2022g and some testes it just safely replace a virtually mount directory and copy decent tzdata file to directory by android version.

Make sure reboot after installing module :

Try the module and report if there is bug or issue. This module is completely safe to install and it does not replace main system file it just make some directory overlays throw Magisk and can be remove without any footprints.

For those who cant find current tzdata in file system run a terminal with root access and run below command to find real path of current tzdata : 

find / -name tzdata 2>/dev/null

It says "Added missing "Myanmar" time zone" @Oct 31, 2020, which means it's using its own internal database for that and it's not using the system's database.

I don't think so In my phone , TimeZoneConverter app shows +4:30 timeozone as system timezone (the obsolete one). And some other apps have problems too like BCR: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/BCR

It is getting more confusing and strange , I have another phone with android 12 and I've never rooted or patched tzdata on it and It doing ok and automatically updated to new timezone 3:30 but the TimeZoneConverter app showing wrong timezone on this phone too!

I appreciate it if you share the build instruction with us (specially icudt60i.dat files),

In short term your answer is a absolut No, You must root your device and we only tested MIUI with Magisk.

About transferring new files without root access a custom recovery like OrangeFox is needed And you must unlock your bootloader to install it which means you will lose all your current data. Also MIUI don't read /system partition modification. They implemented a unknown method to freeze system files probably in bootimage and Android read them from somewhere else , root is necessary to disable this mechanism.

I asked ChatGPT for help on how to build icudt.dat file. I need version 70i on my phone. While I managed to fix the main timezone and clock is fine, I still have issue with my smartphone and calendar on my phone. It seems still we need to update some more files. I don't have the tools to build it, so I just share it, hope it helps!

This is the answer from chatgpt:

The icudt70i.dat file is a part of the International Components for Unicode (ICU) library, which provides timezone support and other internationalization features for applications. Building a new icudt70i.dat file involves building the ICU library and then copying the generated file to your Android device.

Here's how you can build a new icudt70i.dat file for Android:

Download and install required tools:

Open a command prompt or terminal window and navigate to the folder containing the extracted ICU source code.

Run the following command to configure ICU for Android, replacing with the actual path to your Android NDK installation:

python icu4c/source/configure.py --with-cross-build=icu4c/source/data/in/icu-config --with-data-packaging=archive --disable-icu-config --disable-renaming --disable-layoutex --disable-extras --disable-tests --disable-samples --disable-strict --enable-trace --enable-static --host=arm-linux-androideabi --prefix=<path_to_android_ndk>/sysroot/usr

Run the following command to build ICU:

make

Once the build process is complete, you should find the icudt70i.dat file in the icu4c/source/data/out folder (assuming you're building ICU version 70).

  • Build ICU:

Once the build process is complete, you should find the icudt70i.dat file in the icu4c/source/data/out folder (assuming you're building ICU version 70).

Seams promising ! But from things I red before it is much more complicated than it , rebuilding needs exact Android sources and It's ROM dependent. Actually some ICU builds are already available in tzdata (in output_data/icu_overlay) builds (I think those are what ChatGPT means) but they are not what we need.

Anyway if you succeed to build proper ICU files for your device please share the instructions.

thanks a million on 10+ one more path was added: /apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/tzdata I just updated that file and boom... got rid of DST

THANK YOU! finally it worked my phone didnt let me to change those files so i edited the customize.sh with new file addresses (/system/apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/) and after enabling throw magisk it worked

@waziig @VahidN

Would you kindly share your updated working module please and also how exactly should be done. I had no lock on android 12 and 13 while tried all the tips here.

i thought that android ver 10 and above updates tzdata independently and there is no need to update firmware.

These files should be updated: /data/misc/zoneinfo/tzdata or /system/usr/share/zoneinfo/ /system/usr/icu/.dat Source: https://github.com/meefik/tzupdater

I almost sure /system/usr/icu/*.dat are only apples to Andriod 4 !

i have that (android10) and it is over 20MB in size so i didn't touch it i used 2022g and 2023a tzdada and none of them works

@theStarrk hey can you provide the flashable file that you used to get it work or the way you replaced the files in /apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/tzdata , because i tried manually it can't be edited and tried to modify the magisk module and still no modification to this dir after flashing

@waziig i also added /system/apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/ this address to the module and the files here are okay but still the only dir that contain stock files is /apex is there anyway that i can modify it??

I don't have the flashable file... I replaced tzdata with file manager(mix) But you should know to overwrite a file in root, you can't paste it directly to the path... first paste it to another directory that doesn't have a file with similar name, then move it to /apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/

I am also using mixplorer, but /Apex dir is Read only i can't replace the original file in /apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/, I'm using android 11 miui eu 12.5 with magisk 26.1

Just to make sure... Check Magisk to see if mixplorer has premission to use root I'm not using miui but i did this on a miui device so I know it can be done

In my Samsung phone with Android 11, I'm just replaced tzdata and tz_version to /system/apex/com.android.tzdata/etc/tz/ and it's worked!

It took my time to find out so I'm sharing this here. If you have Android 12 due to the changes Google made you can't access system files easily. So you have to follow this guide for replacing "tz_version" & "tzdata" in the following path: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-change-any-file-or-directory-using-magisk.4543103/

Can you please make a tutorial or share your script?

@thisisamirmaleki I wrote a Magisk "module" for this. Since newer androids have read-only file system, Magisk is required for persistent changes. check this out.

Thanks to @Navid14101 for the guide he shared

  1. adb shell into running device and go root with su - (Magisk will ask for permission).
  2. cd /
  3. find . -name tzdata 2>/dev/nul

Create an issue in the repository and attach the output of the last command. I'll see what I can do. We can continue this discussion there.

I updated my OS to ArrowOS 13.1 and I CAN mount /system/apex ... as RW. However I also tested your Magisk Module thingy, and it works like a charm. Thank you.

thisisamirmaleki commented 1 year ago

@Xosrov I came across another issue while using your module. The time's alright, the DATE on the status bar however, is not correct from 23 to 24 everyday. It might also be worth noting that the time widget is showing the wrong TIME too.
