Editing the kernel

Procedure

You MUST know how to unpack/repack kernels, and their ramdisks.

If you unpack your kernel, you would find the folder named sbin where you'd unpacked the ramdisk. Place these two files View attachment 2202399 and View attachment 2202400 in the folder. Rename them to "busybox" and "bootsdcard.sh" respectively.

Additionally, you will need to create a folder named "tmp" where you've unpacked the ramdisk.

Now, open up init.rc and find the lines:

on fs
# mount mtd partitions
# Mount /system rw first to give the filesystem a chance to save a checkpoint
mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system
mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system ro remount
mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev
mount yaffs2 mtd@cache /cache nosuid nodev

After these lines, you are most likely to find these lines (or similar lines):

# once everything is setup, no need to modify /
mount rootfs rootfs / ro remount

Add the following lines to the above:

chmod 0777 /sbin/busybox
chmod 0777 /sbin/bootsdcard.sh
exec /sbin/busybox sh /sbin/bootsdcard.sh

En total, it should look like this:

Now, you can repack the ramdisk, and repack the kernel. In most cases, you should be able to flash the kernel with the busybox included. If you are not able to flash the repacked boot.img, please post the boot.img along with thread from which obtained/sources.

P.S. For the curious, this is what bootsdcard.sh looks like:

#!/sbin/busybox sh

MOUNT="/sbin/busybox mount"
UMOUNT="/sbin/busybox umount"
MKDIR="/sbin/busybox mkdir"
RMDIR="/sbin/busybox rmdir"
TOUCH="/sbin/busybox touch"

$MKDIR /tmp/sdcard
$CHMOD 0770 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
$MOUNT /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/sdcard
if [ -f /tmp/sdcard/.bootsdcard ];
then
$TOUCH /tmp/.bootsdcard
fi
$UMOUNT /tmp/sdcard
$RMDIR /tmp/sdcard

if [ -f /tmp/.bootsdcard ];
then
$UMOUNT /data;
$CHMOD 0770 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
$MOUNT -t ext3 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data
$UMOUNT /system
$CHMOD 0770 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
$MOUNT -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
$MOUNT -t ext3 -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
$UMOUNT /cache
$CHMOD 0770 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
$MOUNT -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache
fi

Adding support for G-Apps

You'd also need G-Apps for your secondary ROM. Here's how-to:

Open up any G-Apps zip, and extract updater-script from META-INF/com/google/android folder.

Find the following line:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

Replace it with:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "-t", "auto", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");

That's it! You can flash your modified g-apps for secondary ROM.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Reserved

In case the boot.img doesn't flash after re-packing, it is very likely that there isn't enough space in the boot partition. I will add the procedure, for that case too.

finished post, reviews welcome :)

another one , good work bro :good:

is it possible to dual boot Thinkingbridge and stock ??

how about memory scripts ? will it work on both primary and secondary roms !!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Not possible by the Yin-Yang. One prerequisite is that both the ROMs should use the same kernel.

You could try the other method by ayushrox, which involves using separate boot.img's with different mountpoints.

Memory increasing scripts? That's easy, but you'd need four ext3 partitions, and a modified int2ext. Procedure:

format sdcard in following layout:

fat32>sd-data>sd-system>sd-cache>sd-ext.

Open the memory script int2ext, or int2ext+, and change the following:

Use the search and replace function, it would be helpful.

Replace:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

With:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

[Shield Q&A] GTX420:

[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Google Maps has a tendency to work magic for getting GPS to work. I think it helps calibrate it, which speeds it up. Just a guess...
[Shield Q&A] SixSixSevenSeven:
I think its A-GPS. records your last position and can use that, combined with the system time, some hope that you haven't moved, a bit of trigonometry, a list of existing satellites in orbit and some black magic to guess which satellites are above you at that moment in time and speed up obtaining a lock (as it no longer has to ping for existing satellites, it just presumes that they are there and if your system time is correct and the device hasn't moved then its quite reliable. A hot start if you will.

Google maps also supports location detection via WiFi (it actually looks up your external IP and makes a guess on your location from that, did place me in detroit once, I am actually in cambridgeshire england). Lets say it was to locate you via wifi, I believe it can use that location data as starter info for A-GPS. Which may then give Waze a kick up the derriere.

Or it could just be black magic entirely.
[Shield Q&A] kieso:
I use Waze all the time but never tried it on shield. Maybe it isn't supported. Ill give it a try today and let you know how it goes

HTC insn't going into full scale production untill autumn.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] superseagulls:
And it's usefullness in the USA wil be somewhat limited.

It only has Tri band GSM so will be incompatible with some networks, also the 3G radio is a different standard in the USA to the Euro 3G - CDMA V W-CDMA I believe, but I'm sure someone will highlight what the acronym is. Thats why no USA networks have expressed any desire to release the Universal - maybe there will be another model bought out for the USA markets...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] WatermelonSlim:
There will be a USA release eventually. HTC would be stupid to not make a version of the Universal that worked well in the USA.

There's lots of speculation on various message boards that HTC has already created a USA version of the Universal. Supposedly, it's being called "Apache" while it's still in testing.

There are lots of people in the USA using HTC devices right now. I can't imagine HTC deciding not to accept anymore money from those USA customers.

Pretty much everyone with an HTC device (or any other brand of Pocket PC for that matter) will give the Universal serious consideration when it's released. If HTC just ignored them, well that would not be a sound business decision.

Expect a version of the Universal to be released in the USA for use on the new EVDO networks (Sprint and Verizon).

Now Sprint and Verizon may decide not to carry the device, but I fully expect HTC to at least offer it to them.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fone_fanatic:
do sprint and verizon even offer gsm(sim) cards? i bought my jam from dubai when i was over there for summer vacation and now i'm using it with cingular. and if the device is released in the US it would be a while after its released in the UK and rest of the world. If you haven't noticed USA is really behind in the cell phone market.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] WatermelonSlim:
USA may be behind in the cell phone market, but all of the previous HTC products were released in the USA, so I don't see why the Universal would be any different.

The Wizard will be released in the USA, so why not the Universal? I could definitely see HTC ,aking a version for the USA. And probably making a CDMA version as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phamoui:
It could be

Sorry Guys, But Cellphone Networks in USA sux! Your mobile phone carries got the "older model" planns to sell devices. Europe and Asia is at leats 5 years advanced than USA.

Here in Brazil GSM Networks are since 2002 so we got euro carriers with new terminals, 3G is already here.

HTC is preparing a special edition for you guys :)

[]s'

pH
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] WatermelonSlim:
What are you talking about? USA networks may be behind, in general, but both Sprint and Verizon have EVDO networks. That is pretty up to date technology.

HTC may very well be preparing a special version, but I highly doubt Brazil is getting anyting more technically advanced than the USA (from HTC at least)...

HTC sent the same Harrier and Blue Angel to the USA that they sent everywhere else. HTC is also sending the same Wizard to the USA that they sent everywhere else. Why should the Universal be any different?

Well, it might be a little different (hopefully it will be made for CDMA/EVDO).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jaythemagician:
your carriers are well behind the uk and most of the rest of the world-maybe not 5 years though!the universal will be the same as the jam release wise-asia then europe then the us.just a shame your carriers are so slow that they cannot utilise the new technology the universal brings;)and what is with using a different frequency (850) is it just to be awkward?!lol.l have no doubts the universal will be available everywhere including the us;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Poke_N_PDA:
First off, I have to say that the Apache is not a CDMA version of the universal. Rather, it is a CDMA version of the wizard.

Second, yes the USA networks are a little behind the rest of the world. It sucks that we have to wait for new devices months after they have been released to the rest of the world. However, that may be changing. Check out the last couple pages of this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=22813&start=125

It is looking more and more like the new 6700 sprint will be releasing is the Apache. Right now the target release date is sometime from August to October. This would be amazing because it would be (as far as I know) the first 5.0 device released anywhere. It would be released in the US before Europe and Asia, and it would even be release before the wizard was released anywhere.

So maybe the US is catching up. Here's hoping :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] WatermelonSlim:
The USA networks are not lagging behind Europe and Asia. At least not all of them. Again, both Sprint and Verizon have EVDO networks. That is not lagging in any way. EVDO is a 3G technology, and it fully supports all the features on any of todays cell phones (even the Universal). The only thing is the networks are CDMA. But CDMA is not lagging behing the rest of the world either.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Poke_N_PDA:
Actaully saltydawg, only verizon has EV-DO right now. Sprint won't be lauch there's till the end of the year. We should start seeing EV-DO phones coming out soon though.

As for what I said abou the USA being behind, that was mainly in reference to the delay in getting new phones to the US.

But yes, we should start seeing lots more EVDO devices released soon...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dmc874:
You have got to be kidding me if you think US networks do not lag behind European networks. By the time we get something new, Europe is already moved on to the next best thing. We are at least 2-3 if not 5-7 years behind.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Poke_N_PDA:
SaltyDawg,

That makes more sense. I guess they just aren't really promoting that. It's pretty cool that some of the 6600s have got that to work though. There is supposed to be an official sprint update for the 6600 coming out in october I think.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bigblk150:
We can argue all day about whether or not the US lags behind in mobile network technology. Whan I can say is that when US carriers decide to go with a technology, it does take awhile to rollout.

HOWEVER, let's think about this. All of the countries we're being compared to are approx 10% of the size of the US. Individual European countries and their respective carriers have NO IDEA what a rollout in the US takes in terms of material, resources, and most importantly, money. Even the whole of Europe doesn't compare in size to the Continental USA.

Cut us a break, guys... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] difensore:
GSM Technology in the US

well, you can argue all day about this but i would say that the US is way behind but we've been catching up some how ... the three main countries which keep on using CDMA is the US, Japan& Korea ... so if anybody really wants a really good phone for the verizon and sprint networks just look at what's available in japan ... they actually have 8.0Mp camera phones out ... while everybody's working on catching up here in the US ... Verizon is actually owned by VODAFONE that is why verizon was first in coming out with 3G with the help of their cousins across the pond ... which i am wondering why t-mobile doesn't use their connection being t-mobile ... the largest global wireless company (they have service in most of the countries in the industrialized world ... they even have dibs on singtel which is one of the powerful wireless carriers in asia) ...

t-mobile usa and t-mobile uk don't even work together (as per comment by one of the tech support people from t-mobile usa) ... i was trying to set up blackberry connect on my Sony Ericsson P910i which was from T-Mobile UK but our friends from T-Mobile US told me that they can't assist me ... so i ended up doing it myself ... as usual ....

hopefully the US gets hold of more phones, marketing somewhat sucks y'know ... i guess it's all about the blackberry over here in the US .... which, personally has an ugly interface and worse conventional phones which are almost as expensive as Palm, Pocket PC, and Symbian devices ...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] WatermelonSlim:
Well the bottom line is not all USA networks a lagging way behind Europe and Asia. At least not anymore. Sprint and Verizon both have EVDO. EVDO is a 3G technology. So no way can anyone say Sprint and Verizon are lagging way behind Europe and Asia.

Now the phones they release on those networks may be a different story. But again, that has nothing to do with HTC. HTC releases the same phones in the USA that they release in Europe and Asia. So anyone saying HTC won't release the Universal in the USA is not looking at the recent history. And anyone saying all USA networks are lagging behind Europe and Asia is not looking at the present. Sprint and Verizon, with their EVDO, specifically.

UMTS in the USA

All I can say is soon, as in September/October UMTS will be deployed in 9 major cities in the US. The carrier in question already has a re-branded BlueAngel for sale. Word from marketing is that shortly after UMTS is deployed they will start carrying one of the re-branded HTC Universal devices . :D

Not the city in whole! It is not public because it was for show for a big investment backer in Cingular which in return was suppost to deploy UMTS/3g over a year ago.

I phoned O2 uk to cancel my contract yesterday.

When I tried, they connected me to "customer retentions" and started offering stuff. I liked this and queried new phones i could get.

When I asked about the new Universal the woman on the phone seemed to actualy know what I was talking about, and in fact admitted that it has just appeared in the new catalogues they have.

Ie, within the next couple of months, O2 uk will have it.

I confirmed this from her description of the device, with no prompting that it was indeed the universal she was talking about.

Yay.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AdmiralAK:
T-Mobile in the US will be able to use the universal as a GSM phone (900/1900/1800 GSM and UMTS @ 2100).

Cingular will be able to use the universal as a GSM phone in some areas. I live in Boston and I am using a triband 900/1800/1900 phone for the time being (granted that quadband gives you better coverage)

T-Mobile is rumored to be waiting for the 2100 spectrum auction that will be going on in 2007 - T-mobile could use the universal in its current form for UMTS when they build out (but by then it will be old lol)

Cingular has some test markets (inherited from AT&T) that use UMTS @ 1900. They will be building out another 20 top markets by end of year in the 1900 (and possibly in the 850) spectrum. - Cingular will not be able to use the universal in its current form for UMTS

Sprint and Verizon are CDMA carriers - the universal would not work-period. I was really hoping that vodafone would get the controlling stake in the company and switch them over to HSDPA from EVDO....oh well :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cbrow51:
Stumbled across the Universal on pre order with Expansys USA today... Expected delivery date is quoted as September/November. Branded as the T-Mobile MDA, so I am assuming it will work (and probaly be locked to) the T-Mobile network in the USA...? Shame about only being tri band, but since the Cingular buy out of ATT, I have noticed that you can actually use a Cingular SIM in the triband phones, where Cingular are now making use of the non 850Mhz ATT infrastructure.
