Umm, okay I admitted to as much in the edits I made to my previous post...I shot my self in the foot regarding the cpuramcheck script...never seen a bin script not start with the standard opening line...never said it was your doing, I took and will continue to take full responsibility, which is why I did not delete my old silly comments, instead I stuck out the old text and added edits so

my

mistakes would be public record.

But in all fairness, all the other points I made were valid and are a reasonable basis for concluding this package is of suspect quality.

I never talked like I tried it...reread my posts I explicitly stated at least twice that all I did was skim the zips contents. BTW - quite a bit a of crap is started over suspect tweak packages...read the PurePerformance and NetForks threads for examples...this

kinda

reminds me of PurePerformance, although I doubt it will cause the problems that pureperformance did/does.

Agreed...I should have remained silent or have been more constructive and tactful in my criticisms.

In all honesty I have only seen a handful products as unpolished as this and most of those at least had half decent OPs. Furthermore, many of these products label themselves as WIP or alpha/beta, which makes such deficiencies somewhat understandable. The way in which you presented your product leads users to believe it is in a more or less finished state, meaning it should be free of silly errors.

I did not single you out...as previously stated, I call things as I see them (albeit my vision is far from perfect)...I have gone after the devs of PurePerformance and NetForks (although I was 100% correct in these cases)...admittedly I get more annoyed than I should and perhaps react poorly...why should I care if other users crack flash crap?

Okay, how nice of you...what an altruist. But you have to admit the inclusion of a total empty file (that turbo script), a script that does nothing (dalvikcalc, which you clearly thought did something productive), and an inaccurate and uninformative OP (that states the build.prop tweak were included, when they are not and has no usage instructions) would lead any reasonable observer to conclude this is a half assed effort where the dev does not really know what they are doing.

Umm, whatever...I never said anything about a lack of proper credits (in fact, if you were to ask my option of the matter, I would say you did an excellent job giving credits)...if you reread my second post you will find that I stated I looked at Pizza Box because you credited it. In addition, this is the exact reason why I called this 'unoriginal' in one of the struck out sections of my previous post; so I have no idea where this rant came from.

Although I know your sick of my opinions, this is why I previously stated you should have waited until you had the time to make a proper, decent OP.

Also previously stated, at least you are responsive and responsible, not to mention you are clearly trying to make a honest effort to learn (I've seen many of those posts you've made in the threads you used stuff from)...I noticed you corrected that error, but it should have never existed in the first place (<<my opinion - if you're gunna release it to the public there ought to be a minimum quality standard that includes an accurate and informative OP)

Just because none of them complained does not mean there are no issues. Clearly your testers missed the two valid script related problems I pointed out. Even a total noob should have noticed the blank turbo script.

Makes sense and further explains the initially inaccurate OP...like I said - your honest and responsible, which imo puts you a cut above the creators of PureNonsense and NetForks.

GL with this and HF learning.

Although you're kinda beating a dead horse at this point, I will agree with you again - this is all true and correct.

Thank you, you are most gracious. Your responses have been most civil and I don't take your criticisms negatively as they are quite justified.

Sorry again.

=========

To get things back on topic (although it was never really totally off topic) and to be constructive for a change :p, if you want to include build.prop tweaks in your zip and if you have not already resolved this issue: (1) create a script named "buildprop_additions" in .sh format that follows this general guideline

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox echo "" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "### PenberEngine Tweaks Begin" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "YOURFIRSTTWEAK" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "YOURSECONDTWEAK" >> /system/build.prop
etc
etc
busybox echo "### PenberEngine Tweaks End" >> /system/build.prop

; (2) place this script in the base of your zip; (3) in the updater script somewhere after you mount /system add this

package_extract_file("buildprop_additions.sh", "/tmp/buildprop_additions.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/buildprop_additions.sh");
run_program("/tmp/buildprop_additions.sh");

I could very well be wrong as I have never actually done this first hand, but based on my limited knowledge it should work. Hope this helps.
