[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zylor:
I am using a safe update-binary from Entropy that's why i do formats in updater-script because i know they will not cause the brickbug

:good:

Hi! I am currently trying to convert Sweet-Rom V4 XXLRU to /preload instead of /system/app

So far i did the following:

Extracted the zip and created:

preload/symlink/system/app

And move the app folder from /system to this folder!

Created every apk with:

Link: /preload/symlink/system/app/<apkname>.apk

using Notepad++

And created the updater-script for it but it won't pass the samsung logo (not the GT-N7000... the other one after that!)

here is the updater-script for it:

show_progress(0.1, 0);

ui_print("");
ui_print(" Take a seat and get ready for Sweet ROM MODDED by ZyLoR!");
ui_print("");

ui_print("Unmounting partitions...");

unmount("/preload");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/cache");
unmount("/data");

ui_print("Formatting /cache");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "0");

ui_print("Formatting /data");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10", "0");

ui_print("Formatting /system");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "0");

ui_print("");
ui_print(" Installing Sweet ROM V5 XXXLRU...............");
