My question is, will this work for the external sd card as well? I transfer most but not all of my less priority apps to my external sd card. The SD Card app that test the speed is not accurate, fyi.

I also tried the link previously and changed it to max kb but occasionally it is a hit or miss on the speed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Girgizzlemuf:
Im pretty sure I flashed back to 4.1.26 to use the root method I mentioned before specifically so I could use 4.1.57 with init.d support. I did notice that the "prefered" root method doesnt make mention of init.d, but its fully working for me now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dasmoover:
What Motorola did was bake in the native linux install from the android-backend with the webtop system. Thus, the directory you're looking for is /osh/etc/init.d/

echo "$YOURLINE" >> /osh/etc/init.d/rc
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
Also anyone know which one to edit for the external sd? So we can improve both sd?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
Request.... please pretty please.. :)

I brought this up in the gladiatrix thread 2 days ago and was also not able to get it to work after reboot or on the external SD.

Would someone please create a CWM zip for this when it is completed?

It could be added to the wiki or the sticky's thread :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
Pulling stuff from memory, so I might be a bit off here and there.

The original root methods (SuperOneClick and aRoot) put a script in /system/etc/install-recovery (or something like that) which had one line in it which told it to execute every script in /system/etc/init.d. They also created the /system/etc/init.d directory and put a single script in there which remounted /system as rw.

But, the 4.1.57 update deleted the script, so most of you probably don't have it any longer (unless the re-root process put that script back?). In any case, I suspect that's the information you're looking for. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
So 4.1.57 isnt capable of running init.d?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
It's perfectly capable of it - the script just needs to be put back (since it's not a Motorola thing). ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
Which script? XD Care to elaborate or share? :)

Thanks

Edit: Or simply create the init.d folder again in /system/etc/ and just put the script in?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
I'm not being coy or anything - all the information and files are already available. Taking a look at the aRoot archive, for example, here are the lines that matter:

adb.exe push bin/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh > NUL 2>&1
adb.exe shell mkdir /system/etc/init.d > NUL 2>&1
adb.exe push bin/00remount /system/etc/init.d/00remount > NUL 2>&1

install-recovery consists of:

#!/system/bin/sh

# chmod the init.d dir
busybox chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d

# run init.d
/system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

And that's really all there is to it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
Thanks XD I will try in a bit

Edit: Cant....

mkdir failed for /system/etc/init.d, Read-only file system

Even with su...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
something like this.....

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
I now have init.d working... so 00remount is there so I have write access through root explorer.....

The problem is that we - at least I am missing echo in /system/xbin...

Which is used by the init.d script that edits the read_ahead file ... so it fails LOL
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
I ran across this when I tryed it also.

just type echo blah blah without the /system/xbin in front.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Girgizzlemuf:
I'm not sure if 1.57 puts a different install-recovery in /system/etc, but this file exists for me, and has some stuff in it that looks like patch recovery....

#!/system/bin/sh
if ! applypatch -c MTD:recovery:2048:b01ab98799f9db633bbc6b43fe0df8fe5cebb820; then
r=`/data/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "select * from system where name='stay_on_while_plugged_in';"`
if [ $r eq "" ]; then
/data/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "insert into system values (null, 'stay_on_while_plugged_in','0');"
else
/data/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "update system set value='0' where name='stay_on_while_plugged_in';"
fi
rm /data/sqlite3
log -t recovery "Installing new recovery image"
applypatch MTD:boot:8388608:f1e31577c64654f400f65ddea1fb4d6a51be9ba9 MTD:recovery c54d675c3e1a8fe9e9d810e7bee501111bacd2ed 8388608 f1e31577c64654f400f65ddea1fb4d6a51be9ba9:/system/recovery-from-boot.p
else
log -t recovery "Recovery image already installed"
fi

Would it be bad if the install-recovery used during root was pushed in place of this file? If I am understanding things correctly that would re-enable init.d in /system/etc amirite?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
I simply added the lines needed for init.d to the new install-recovery.sh for 4.1.57

#!/system/bin/sh
if ! applypatch -c MTD:recovery:2048:b01ab98799f9db633bbc6b43fe0df8fe5cebb820; then

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Girgizzlemuf:
Hm. Still no dice. At least on my end. The example script that mounts /system as rw isn't even working. I used root explorer to add the lines at the end of the .sh and it is just not having it. I do notice though that every time i reboot my phone at this point i keep having more and more memory free :confused:

:edit: god i fail. chmod 777 ftl. derp. works perfectly now.

Why isn't wiping cache only an option in ROM Manager? Isn't this recommended when flashing ROM upgrades of the same ROM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Just do it through the recovery. Rom manager is quite buggy when it comes to that stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irl5fan:
I'm flashing a new kernel. When you are in recovery to wipe cache and davlik-cache, do you select wipe cache partition? After that screen it just says "Area you sure" with a bunch of no options. When will i see the davlik-cache option?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jander6442:
you will go into advanced options in the recorvery press the davlik option...it will take a few moments the give you the option to wipe davlik which inturn takes a few moments also.

extracted the boot animation from Cyanogenmod's april fools joke, if anyone wants it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jawonder:
Can this work on any rom ? .
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Wicked1ab:
I believe so, yes. you just have to replace the previous bootanimation.zip, where you'll find and replace the old bootanimation.zip depends on which ROM you are using though. I've found them in these 3 locations so far

/data/local/

/system/media/

/system/customize/resource/

To find out which is right for your ROM you could:

download rootexplorer you'll be able to browse your system files and find the old file

Let me know which ROM your on I may be able to find out for you.

[Windows Mobile Themes] jerrya:
Experts, one question. I have a friend working on a bootscreen for me, and he got it down from 30 megs to 22, is that too big? I am running an HTC Imagio, stock ROM, with a memory card, so storage isn't an issue.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jerrya:
Additional question

Guys n Gals, if 22 is too big, how do we go about reducing its size, and what size is the optimum, or maximum, that we should go?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
depends... if internal... wanna keep it smaller...

for htc users there is a reg edit for maping out the file location to the gif... file...

so in theory you could map it to your SD card.. then size isnt an issue...

cause i dont believe there is a cap on how long or big it can be... if there is .... i have never seen it surpassed...
[Windows Mobile Themes] jerrya:
Thanks Trek! Can you lead me to the registry edit that would link it to my card?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
Location:

HKEYLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation

change value to...

\Storage Card\xxxxxxx.gif

if it doesnt work in the SD then try putting the .gif it in your device memory to make sure....

oh i didnt see you had "megs" there.... that means... i still dont know... biggest one i have used is 629 KB.. sooooo yeah no idea...

Keep the X if you ever want an update
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Galaxy S isn't on Verizon. The variant the fascinate is. Being a former fascinate owner stick with the X. Even with the voodoo lagfix Droid x is far more stable. Sure the super amoled is nice as well a better gaming performance, but it's not worth the lag and hiccups from the fascinate.

[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Ha ha ha you're a joker you :-)
[Droid X General] luigi90210:
no im actually quite serious

now i love android and i also hate the iphone with a bloody passion but in reality with locked bootloader on almost every new device made by the main manufactures(HTC, Motorola, and now samsung) makes it near impossible to make your phone yours and even with root access what can you really do that a jailbroken iphone cant?

i mean you dont have to use itunes and such but seriously it isnt hard to jailbreak an iphone and free it from itunes

in reality though the droid x will never be a droid 1, or a HTC Dream(G1) for that matter

EOL for the droid x is coming up and chances are that 2.3 is going to be the last OTA for the droid x and after that your stuck on 2.3 or what ever version manufactures leave you on until you buy a new device

at least the iphone will last 2 years before it stops getting updates
[Droid X General] TheBadBen:
I picked up a DX on craigslist about a week ago to check out why people were leaving the Fascinate for it. I chose a Fascinate over the DX last fall and only regretted it until the first froyo leaks for it showed up.

In my opinion (grain of salt check) a froyoed Fascinate is a better phone than a froyoed DX. Development seems to be roughly the same in terms of quantity and the quality of development on the Fascinate feels better. My camera/camcorder works, bluetooth doesn't kill the battery, GPS is fixed.

I haven't played around yet with gingerbread (yeah, I'm waiting...) So I can't comment there. Sleigh it looks like fully functioning GB is right around the corner and there is a handicapped one out now for the Fascinate.

This is totally subjective, but the Fascinate is more comfortable to hold also. My DX is probably going to last another week before hitting "The 'bay".
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Galaxy S II should be out in 1-2 months. Just wait and get that. Far better than either the Galaxy S or Droid X.

[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Although I agree with most of that as I also suggested droid X. Fasinate has a far better camera. People think more MP equals better. In this case it doesn't. Of every phone I have ever owned Fascinate has the best camera.

[Flipout and Charm General] alessio81pa:
what is the best resolution for the flipout?

the original resolution is too large for son application and in some menu!
[Flipout and Charm General] dalkor:
Default density(120) is optimal, if you set a lesser value, all icons and status bar elements will get pixellated and distorted, if you set a larger value, icons will look OK, but all elements will get too big and program interfaces won't fit the screen and status bar elements will become pixellated and blurred.
[Flipout and Charm General] alessio81pa:
I set it to 100... the result for me is very good :)

but I have a problem.... when open phone application... get error the process com.android.phone is terminated... why? O_O

any news? i download another dialer application but with same result... any ideas?

sorry for my english
[Flipout and Charm General] cmmghost:
Bad idea to extend the screen

Hi alessio81pa, I also tried to enlarge the screen to enter more icons, I used an app called "LCDDensity for Root" works quietly reduced to 100, but I also cause the same problem as you, all other apps they stop and say there is an error in most widgets.

In conclusion, it is a bad idea to try to do this.

We will have to find something else.

Greetings and good vibes :D

Excuse my English (I am using the Google translator xD)
[Flipout and Charm General] alessio81pa:
sei italiano?

io nn ho problemi con widget e non ho problemi nemmeno con altro... solo la parte telefonica non va... cmq adesso l'ho settato a 110, nn ha lo stesso effetto di metterlo a 100 ma cmq rende piu cose visibili nello schermo e la parte telefonica funziona!

comunque se qualcuno trovasse una soluzione per poterlo impostare a 100 con la parte telefonica funzionante mi fa un gradito regalo :D

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvbarton:
is there a download link for 347? I'd like to give it a test run myself.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techvir:
If u can provide us with the update.pkg or the installation rom for 347 , we can test and give u good answers.

By doing that u dont have to worry that u r losing any of your personal info.

Someone is already trying to upload the nandroid backup, but if you are new to android it can be difficult.

Regarding rooting, if soc1.7 does not work and if you are comforatable with andriod, u can flash CWM or streak recovery and then flash superuser.zip file to get root.

Or else read about flashing recovery and adb. This will be useful in the long run.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianSolja:
all im asking for is help on how to root this 347 build. not for any extra stuff. you asking me about some update.pkg file i dont know how to do any of that.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
What an attitude! as explained he does not have the same rom as you have that is why he does not know how to root it, so he is asking if there is an update.pkg in your sdcard that you can upload so he could install 347 and look for ways to root it so he could help you also. So everyone would benefit. You could politely have said you do not have update.pkg ir do not know of it or how to upload it online instead of being rude, with that kind of attitude that you have, i doubt anyone would spend their time helping you out. drgopos had helped a lot of members here, well just want to say, we should always be respectful with each other.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corenojoe:
There are conversion programs to put it in mp4, just Google it and you'll find one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
It is a drm related issue. When you download the digital copies from the blu-ray disc that have that option, you are asked which format you want to download Itunes or wmv and they come with drm protection to only play on those devices (ipod, itouch, iphone or zune) or pc.

They are also protected from being converted. Im sure they can be converted but your everyday program will not do it. you need a program to break protection and then convert to same or another format.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] METDeath:
Going to second the DRM issue. Sounds like you should get an iPod Touch or iPad for movie watching.
