Hi, congrats for getting ION with video recording work on Pico!

I've been messing around with cyanogenmod sources, that might contain traces as to why sysinit isn't working...

So... sysinit was moved from init.rc to init.cm.rc, great! :p (<- click the smiley to see the commit that did this :| )

Anyways, before cm10.2 (when this commit was made), this stuff used to run at "boot" rather than "post-fs-data"... And, it was called as an execution instead of a service...

look up those commits, here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/commits/cm-11.0/prebuilt/common/etc/init.local.rc

and here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_system_core/commits/cm-11.0/rootdir/init.rc

Also, check for the sysinit file in /system/bin/ and its permissions, just in case...

forget memory increasing scripts, first check if init.d is working by creating a sample script that writes a file to /data or something like that..

this should get you started ;)

Anyways, was in a hurry, will try to see if I can help, when I get back home :)

FIRST CONFIRM YOUR NAND ISNT BURN

EASY WAY FLASH THE GLAXYFREAK BETA 3 WITHOUGHT ANY GAPPS OR SCRIPT KERNEL

CHECK YOUR SYSTEM PARTION SPACE IT SHOULD BE 16MB OR MORE IF NOT RECOVER YOUR NAND

TWRP LATEST IS RECOMMENDED

AMAL D KERNEL IS USEFUL

SD-SYSTEM AND SD-DATA

BOTH SHOULD BE OF 1 GB IF U WANT TO USE art RUNTIME

USE PA GAPPS

WHY PA GAPPS?

BECAUSE IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH ART RUNTIME

WITH AMAL D KERNEL U CAN USE EVEN FULL GAPPS OF 250 MB (PARANOID)

FILE SYSTEM IS EXT4 FOR EXTENSION

FOR YOUR EASYNESS USE WINRAR

AND OPEN THE ZIP JUST OPEN DONT EXTRACT DELETE THE META-INF FOLDER AND BOOT.IMG

THEN DRAG AND DROP AMAL D META-INF FOLDER AND BOOTIMG IN THE FOLDER LIKE SHOWN IN IMG AND THATS IT

nand burn dosnt mean that rom can not install it depends upon how much sector of your nand had burn ...... sometimes rom install and work on burnt nand but u hv few data storage but in ur case it is not nand burn... one more time repeat the whole thing make 2 folders(Rom and kernel) and place both zips in their respective folder now extract the rom zip with right click extract here..in the rom folder with Amal d zip download the zip again... now in kernel folder do the same thing folder delete both stuff from rom folder and copy them from kernel folder now select all files in rom folder except the zip of ur rom and right click and add to archive then select zip instead of rara rename the zip and click on ok then flash it ... i hope you will get success soon... and new model of htc is weak in proformance as compared to the old one

Nothing to add, just summaries :P

b9c9bfcfd1039a0f4454b7b974a81788 cm-11-20131223-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip

Well, I got it working. So, anyone who wants to get things working with a shotgun can try it.

Are you sure the system memory isn't filled up to the point you can't add a 1 KB file to it?

When you flash the ROM without deleting files, everything installs without an error. Even gapps can be flashed like that. But the only problem is, they won't work. Because you end up with absolutely no space in the system.

P.S. I'm thinking that we leave too much crap for galaxyfreak and others to be reading. Frankly, the last post in this thread should have been the init.rc bug (just my two cents)

I hope this has been proved wrong. Because (quite offensively, but in tune with xda spirit), I unpacked the kernel images (everyone else should do it too. Click here) and all those files init.rc, init.cm.rc are heavily edited by galaxyfreak and all the other freaks in the galaxy.

And, the mod kernel does what int2ext does + a system partition. I don't really see a reason not to use that mod (especially if you want ART working)

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread (since this is not a dev post)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cuteitsme:
hmmm its been a long discussion. Finally I just wanted to update that for me it was an recovery issue. I was using TWRP 2.6.0.0 and when I flashed the latest version 2.6.3.0 everything worked smoothly and now I am able to use this rom.

P.S. : It did took what seems like forever to me for the first boot and then for settling down after booting but when it did i must say IT'S WORTH all the efforts.... [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] as alwasy u rock.... :)

The reason using an old version of recovery for me is the latest version give me backup and restore issue. I mean it allows me to backup but I couldn't restore it again. Lets c now.

Yeah and one more issue with this recovery version is that when I reboot from recovery it say "No OS Installed" and asks me to install the root scripts again but the phone does boot properly without doing that....Well doesn't matter now. :P

REVIEW

[MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] its been couple of days now for beta 3 its review time ...!

Pros :

1. "Almost" stable 4.4.2 KitKat :)

2. Awesome ION kernel which made it even better

3. Smooth as hell...! Not much of lags ....! (I must say not at all :P )

4. Best thing is that games also work smooth, Games like TR2, Zombiewood .... Run surprisingly well...!

5. And I almost forgot the ram consumption is damn low :) I get always greater than 190 mb of free ram....! Even if I have dashclock and dashclock extentions running not much lag.

6. All the graphic glitch gone. ;)

Cons :

1. Memory script issue (ya ya I know its fixed but still)

2. Lack of customization features :( (I know it's cuz of the low ram true thing but still its sad, 4.3 had more customization features)

3. Random hang .... Issue (have to remove the battery and reboot :( )

4. Can't say much about the battery but with a day of normal use it lasts only 8-9 hrs (needs more testing)

And that's about it I guess.

Happy to see that galaxyfreak is adding the s2w back in the next build.

For those how to flash successfully with working SD ext mounting :

1. Delete some unwanted apps like calendar, gcore(something), cm file manager.......

2. Flash the rom with a kernel that ateeq made for me which is just for 1sdcard partition users.

3. Reboot .

4. Make sure you have at least 12-13mb in system

5. Then FLASH the core gapps 17mb (compatible with ART).

Ya I know, 'system is 12-13 and gapps 17 how will it work..?' But somehow it works for me.

Thanks for the insanely amazing 4.4.2 on our pico .....!

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
For your information, the init.rc, and init.cm.rc are files present in the source, and aren't/shouldn't be edited by developers and others alike, unless you want to derp around with it, and add some stuff for reverse-mounting or adding permissions, etc. These files are copied during build time, so, I don't think galaxyfreak did anything with them (and quite offensively, by calling others freaks, you are just proving the fact that you clearly don't understand how thousands of contributors work to get CyanogenMod, or any other custom ROM for that fact, stable.)

A bug is a bug, major or small. So, its not about using a workaround, but seeing why stuff isn't working.

And, FYI, people do know to unpack boot.imgs... IMO, you could use binaries, instead of pearl scripts for doing this, Just saying...

Didn't mean any offence in that post.

Try this kernel I created now.

Disclaimer: This is my first kernel. I've done the edit which I've mentioned to galaxyfreak's kernel. I've no idea if this will work (it is not tested + I seriously have no idea what I'm doing). I'm so unsure that I don't want to do

Those are not issues, TWRP works as intended, up to now, it can't handle more than one sd-ext partition as any other recovery out there AFAIK. Backups and restore won't work in ROMs that use 2 or more sd-ext partitions, but you can ask [MENTION=4621813]#define[/MENTION] to make it possible.

The 'no OS thing' is also normal, the system partition resides now in sd, the NAND is untouched.

My sd card partitions are;

The rom booted successfully. Working fine. Just a few gapps fc.

I must say that it is better than cm 10.2 roms. When it is on nand, it becomes much more smooth but not possible for now. There is no enough space for gapps so using amal d kernel seems the best way until galaxyfreak makes something about it.

NON-OC ION supported kernel with s2w for beta 3

Here is the kernel compiled using the latest sources from PicoKat's github and sweep2wake also has been implemented into this, and I used the ramdisk from beta 1 so int2ext also works after flashing this. I've been using this since yesterday and everything works perfectly.

This is a non-oc kernel so no extra partitions are required so please don't spam the thread with posts asking about that
