Dual Boot HERO

Will it be possible to dual boot hero? Maybe:
1. 1.5 and 2.x rom to choose
2. 1.5, 2.x and a windows mobile (just to try) to choose
Thanks

I have an idea regarding that:
You'll have to modify initrc:
the first thing it has to do is offer a menu (like in recovery), where you choose your ROM
While installing the ROM, all directories are suffixed, for example, system1, etc1
and symlinked at the end of the installation to /system etc...
Second, depending on the rom version, the corresponding directories (system1/system2, etc...) are symlinked to /system, /data, /etc...
THEN initrc proceeds
Which means that all the symlinking part will have to be at the TOP of initrc, just after the PATH declaration.
This is just a concept; I didn't try it.
If you have the time do do so, let us know of the results.

A good approach i suppose, but i'm not able to transform it into a real try... maybe someone can?

This is very interesting, i can try to do this but i have to know 2 things:
1. How to build a Boot Menu
2. How a recovery works when flashing recovery
Do you know where can i find these infos?

i was thining about this the other day, it would be awesome.
And another thing, android can run on windows mobile phones, it would be great to be able to run windows mobile on android

The "boot menu" would be a simple shell script nested at the beginning of the global initrc,
mainly taking care of the proper symlinking/mounting

Why? I owned WM devices before and I know that porting a ROM from one device to another is not a problem for cookers (example: port HTC Touch HD ROM to HTC Diamond2) ...
Maybe the kernel/bootloader is the problem... WM drivers are tones out there.

Kernel is the problem...
Android is open source, WM no...

Just a thought, but i doubt it is posible to do it in initrc becouse of kernel issues but shouldn't it be possible to have 2 kernels built and symlinked and just make a app that let you choose what system to load next boot and make the intirc and kernel symlinks before reboot? I have no experience with android cooking but some old linux knowledge is still in my head i think. Correct me if i'm totally wrong.

Whoa you're confusing me xD
HTC knows how hardware is built so they can write drivers without problems
Android porting on WM is easier because it's booted using haret
So i was wrong, drivers are the problem not the kernel

Hmm, ok.
There is a emulator called Bochs.. it can emulate WM. Maybe we could run it on Android?
I did a little search on google and found out that someone got Bochs working but it crashed when loading the bios..

How 'bout this....
Maybe instead of playing tricks with symlinks and init.rc and all that.......
Make a boot image that does nothing but ask you "Into which OS would you like to boot?" and that replaces the "boot.img" with the new one you want. Then on each of the boot images (for each OS version), you have one of the commands to flash_image back the "menu" boot image so that the next time the phone power cycles you get prompted. Also, you put a timer in it so that if your phone reboots without you present there's a default (and you don't miss your morning alarm clock or something).

To Dev's: why not moving ALL non essential apps from the /system/app

Hello all dev's,
I get really frustrated on most of the ROM's because I get always some applications that I cannot remove manually.
It can be a lot of applications in the "official Froyo+sense" ROM like plurk, Facebook, etc.. Amazon in CyanogenMod, or other stuffs in other ROMs.
Why the hell don't you automatically allow us to remove ALL non essential apps from the settings/applications/manage applications? I have seen that you are able to do that.
Is there a technological reason? Why do you move some applications and not all?
Is that a space matter? A performance or technological reason?
I feel really frustrated on each ROM because I have to always use "adb shell rm system/app/*.apk" and plug my device on the computer.
Please answer me.
Thanks.
Profete162

Can't answer the question but good call.
personally I think all ROMS should come with Titanium backup and Rom Manager. but everything else should be user modifiable.
Profete162: you could open the zip prior to install and delete the apps you don't want then flash?

Exactly that - open the ZIP and remove what you don't want. It's the first thing I do with a new ROM and I also add what I do wanna use so it can't get deleted. Hell of a lot easier than adb

Yes, but it took maybe 10 minuts for maybe 2.000 users of the ROM or more if the ROM is Cyanogen.
It's a waste of 20.000 minuts for the world.. and we have to do that on each update.flash lol
When the dev with it's experience have only 2 minuts maybe to do that.
I understand that that's not a really big problem and the dev's have a lot of things to keep in mind, baut may be a good suggestion I hope for the next ROMS

The Devs have to cater for everyone. Some people need those apps and would ditch the ROM if they were removed. If you don't need them just open the zip and remove them. It's not as if it takes more than 2 minutes.

To be fair, this post is just highlighting your laziness to open up an zip manager and press delete a few times. Dev's have to cater for everyone, not just you.

I want to delete them but allow to delete them. I think it's a fair question and you havn't understood the meaning of my request. I would like to add the possibility to remove them, just that.

The dev's are adding the old app2sd, spare parts, and some apps that it take 2 minuts to add too! So why my request is different from other?

Those 'non essential' apps are essential to some of us. So why take them out??
It's so much easier to remove apps than it is to add them back in. Just remove them from the zip file as said if you don't like them before you flash.
And why the attitude? Questions that start 'Why the hell ...' and statements like 'I'm so frustrated ....' Mate - get a grip. Relax. It's a phone. You can remove the apps and if not just ignore them.

The issue is that moving it into a user partition is then consuming valuable application space, and the spare space in /system is then effectively wasted.
If it's an issue, why not delete the apps from the zip yourself and then post your stripped down ROM, saving 19990 minutes!

Dave

You could always make your own roms, that way it would be catered to your needs

You are right, " you have just to make your own ROM" is the universal solution.
Sorry for my question/request, I was just looking for a solution to make the Rom more open without adding stuff.
Sorry for my post and have a good day.
You can let it go through the "forgotten posts"

I understand your request and must agree to some extent, it would be nice to have the apps a place where we can choose wheter to keep or not without having to use usb/computer or per delete every zip
But ofc just the non essential ones

U cant odex Apps in data Partition so it saves ALOT of space to store Apps (odexed) in system.

Few little facts an reasons why,
The andoid system its self depends on a lot of apps that are and should be stored in /system.
We cannot modify /system easily as HTC Locked write access to the /system partition. (we only have partial root access, this is why you guys are having issues with titanium)
apk.s in /data cannot be odexed in the same way and would use twice as much space if stored in /data.
hope this gives you a better understanding.. Dont flame the Devs
Can we please get this thread closed...

Anyway u can check out my Rom? Lols. I should be always be releasing 2 version of the rom for all of my updates if time let me.. 1 full 1 bare minimum lite version rom.

I didnt know it was that easy.
So on DeVillian quick office is already installed and is 5mb.
so do i just delete the apk from the zip and re flash?

If people demand it, I'll write an app to move files from data to system and backwards,
you'll basically be able to choose the app you want to move and then the phone reboots to recovery and moves the chosen apps to the destination you want it to be.
I even thought about odexing apps and removing the dex files from the apks.
So if people want it I'll probably start writing the code on sunday.

So does this mean the SystemUI in this version is able to decompile without errors? If so how exactly did you do this?
Thanks.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.

So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.

SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.

mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.

I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.

Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.

Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

[Q] Deleted stock app.Whoops. Help?

I found a supposed "safe" list of stock apps to delete and foolishly started firing them in the bin only to find that the messaging icon had not only vanished from the home tray but the option to replace it with a new shortcut had too.
I guess one of the apps deleted was responsible for that. Can any of you boffins figure out which i need and where to get it? The dangers of rooting sigh.......

I use handicant messages so perhaps a 3rd party applications could suffice. Next time either make a nandroid backup or use titanium pro.

Thanks for replying but im sorry. Maybe im a noob. I did make a nandroid but a couple of months ago and i wanted my system the way it was the other day. Dont know how to use ftfs or how they would particularly apply here. If i was to extract a copy of the current system id still be missing the messaging app wouldnt i? Is there not simpler apk method maybe or something that doesnt involve code/commands.

I use both DsiXDA Kitchen moddified with new smali and back smali updates and new supersu, and the Archi kitchen from the repo he has as it has new updated perms and symlink processes, also an updated deodexing process.
there's no 'real' that i know of newbie way of making roms. You just have to play around with the kitchens and then code and mod the framework and systemui apk's by hand.

Sometimes I kick myself for never looking at those kitchens... they sure do seem to make it the process easier for folks. It's sort of deflating when you get it all figured out then see the result of an automated process that looks nearly identical... and took far less effort lol

No worries - I tend to go about things my own funny little way anyway I usually just dd a live /system (usually mount it in linux to pull out the stuff I need) and ls -ZR /system to get the perms/ownership/contexts/symlinks info I need to put an updater-script together.
