Well if you expect what is to be expected, then you can expect to be called normal.

Thanks man. Your idea worked!

Now for oBoot.

I was thinking of doing it like this:

1. Create the .imgs on the sdcard.

2. Mount them to the existing /system, /data and /cache by copying their contents some place else.

3. Install the other ROM on the phone.

4. If XXX exists on the sdcard as a file, the phone will boot from the .imgs. Otherwise it will boot the other ROM.

How's this idea? I have the code bit sorted out. I just wanted to know if it's possible.

Suport Link 2 SD In Kernel

I'll try the nightly MiniCM10 year 2013 day 06 and I'll see if it is slow .. Deadline + SmartassH3'll use ... Testing ... :good:

Sorry For bad English ^^

PROBLEM!:

When you restart the Minicm10 Nightly 2013 for the CWM Based Recovery

one that pushes the buttons and more .. I put "Reboot System Now" BUT NOT OUT OF RECOVERY! To invest restarting ROM not get out of recovery!

What do I do to get out of recovery? I removed battery ... already tried everything

How do I leave and enter the recovery ROM?

this is a Bug. I put I "Reboot System Now" But Restarts In recovery for Recovery!

Sorry For bad English :eek:

I got out of recovery!

pressing the power button in recovery ..

the kernel still has one more bug.....it reboots when turning on the wifi
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
That's not kernel bug...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mayurcools:
what if we create another partition for another ROM in SD card instead of putting img files in /sdcard folder.

because enabling usb storage doesnot really unmounts sd-ext.

so if we create another partition just for ROM we do not have problem as it wont get unmounted

will that solve our sd card unmount problem???

correct me if i am wrong...

Which ROM do you use? :confused:

Cwm....

Again Bug That does not exit recovery mode .. I pressed the power button and does not leave the recovery Oxydo-JB

check the bug

Put on your ROM to restart in Recovery .... I can not get out of Recovery!

I do not understand. because you need to format the cache in this Kernel?

reporting bugs : oxydo@jb-08+

i am running minicm10-4.0.2-20130107-nighty.

1. after flash kernal, i backup with CWM. upon completed i select 'reboot to system' n it keep come back to cwm. i tried twice, then i wipe cache n select 'reboot to system' n done.

2. everytime after reboot, links for downloaded program installed on sdcard are missing. i had to unmount sc card n mount again, then all will return.

B4 unmount sd card, folder 'Misc.' appeared under sd card, after mount, 'Misc.' no more there.

3. 1st time tap on wifi, system reboot. after reboot wifi still on. so i off wifi. when i try to on again, even selected from power widget, wifi is not on. Selection in setting cannot be done cause wording is grey in colour.

i reboot system again, wifi can be selected from power widget or setting menu, no more reboot.

Dualtouch by Dx won't work after flash this kernel.

yes i have added the line "insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_dt.ko" in the hwconfig file. Need the Dx DT because without it its nearly impossible to use my device.

How i can fix it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@SafiXS

Can you check if it works on Terminal Emulator? Does it give any kind of error output? If so, please paste it here. If it works in Terminal Emulator, then I don't see why it shouldn't work the way you do it.

And make sure you do it in the hw_config.sh file located in /system/etc.

I have Cypress so I can't really test this. Sorry.

I already told you. WiFi works perfectly for me. Maybe re-flashing will help.

@feherneoh

I had a hunch this morning something great would be revealed. Awesome work. But does TWRP work (in harmony) with the mod? And I don't think default.prop lines are carried to build.prop. I tried to create a file named build.prop in the system directory of the ramdisk. Don't know if it worked. Never tried it.

What part of the kernel bit did you actually modify (not the ramdisk)?

It's PORTAL time.

Just one thing.

Remember you had a post in the first page.

Why not put your mod there, so that all can see?

Awesome work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
And you might wanna mention what type of sdcard is best for this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
You worked on the original mod, so it's your idea. And will it work on the stock 2GB sdcard? I'm just asking because I really wanna try this but I don't have any other sdcard that works. :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Oh and I partitioned my 2GB sdcard (though I'm pretty sure it's not cut out for the job) like this:

1. 600MB EXT2

2. 256MB Linux swap

3. 300MB EXT4

4. 717MB FAT

All of them are Primary partitions. Is this config okay?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
@sgt. meow (and others): the sd format bug disappeared? Earlier I not checked your (and Daveee10) work while you not post the wrong bootrec file (as I wrote in the original twrp thread, I'm absolute not interested in ICS/JB development, the froyo and gingerbread roms is much more stable and fast for daily usage in my opinion). It was a stupid error, in next time be more careful, in my twrp thread you can see a sample bootrec where all partitions unmounted before change the rootfs. ;)

Suggestion: in this time the dual boot is useless with JB because only two JB rom exists (JBMini and MiniCM, I not checked the modded JB roms in the android development section), but these roms have near same advantages/disadvantages, no significant differences. I think better if the oxydo team working on a rom too (not only this kernel), for example: build a limited JB release without phone functionality (like a PMP or game console, this is only an idea, use your brain and search some other idea) as a secondary OS. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Springles:
Does not work, says Installation aborted. Used winrar to make a .zip. HELP ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@pilu1978

Actually it was caused when the user initiated both recoveries at once. Fixed it by if statements. Credits: feherneoh.

I can't download sources (internet speed sucks) and I don't like modded ROMs to be honest. But the team is working on it.

I had an idea at dinner today. Since dual-boot now works, why not create the lightest ROM ever where you can only play games and listen to MP3, while having a fully functional ROM on the MTD partitions?

Working on it.

@Springles

Try restoring a previous backup, and then install the ROM.

@CnC

I'd suggest removing the last post. It was a bit too harsh. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Springles:
Sadly I dont have any backup to restore from. Am I doomed ? I feel weirdly stupid right now. I just wanted to install this so I can watch sopcast.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
;) It was what I wrote... :D Extreme lite os without phone functionality, only gaming and PMP (Portable Media Player) functions. :)

EDIT: Earlier I tried to start both recovery but nothing happened with the sdcard. :) But if the strange sd format bug disappeared I'm happy. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
Slow, yes. That's exactly what i meant. I use FroyoPro as my daily rom so my gauge for slow would be much higher than anyone using GB and above.

Painfully slow would have been more fitting.

Example: In FroyoPro opening the phone and making a call is basically instant.

In Slim JB takes roughly 30 seconds or more = painfully slow.

Does that explain better?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
To be honest i didn't notice much difference between sd and internal rom. Well done for getting it going..

Could you explain why you have chosen a different route for this when nAa already posted a way of dual booting which works great...

Oh and can't we also do it in the third sdcard partition if we use mmcblk0p3 or on the second partition if we use mmcblk0p2 instead of the fourth partition? Plus did you need to change any kernel stuff to get ICS working or did you just have to change files in the ramdisk?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
What condition did you use for chrooting?

I mean what would it check for before chrroting?

I am thinking of doing a diff check against the ICS and JB ramdisk (which will take the whole of today).

Then I will copy the init files to a folder in the actual ramdisk (not the one on the sdcard) and chroot to that folder if the condition (dunno what exactly to use here) is met.

Dunno if it will work, but it's worth a try.

Yeah I found out later that chroot was messing things up. I was wondering whether we could boot ICS ROMs with the JB kernel using ICS init files (hence the chroot idea), because feherneoh managed to get ICS ROMs dual-booting on this kernel by chrooting the entire ICS ramdisk. Can you help me with this, please?

And your post here means a whole lot to me. pilu1978, Daveee10, feherneoh and you are my idols. :D
