Simple question, I can only hope the answer can be as easy as the question...
I've got a rooted rom, nand unlocked, etc...I try editing the boot scripts and it saves, but upon reboot they are reverted.
It would seem they are being generated on each boot, is there any way to (permanently) modify these scripts or stop them from being regenerated?
I do believe DamageLess has done it with his latest rom.

init.rc is part of the ramdisk. ramdisk which is bundled with the kernel. it gets reloaded on every boot.
i also posted an answer in the other thread linked to above before it was moved ...
like the person above me said, those files are part of the ramdisk and not the actual kernel. but, it's all packaged into a boot.img when you flash a rom. there's a method where someone created a script to split the ramdisk and actual kernel, which i've tried before. google "split ramdisk and kernel android" and you might find what you want.
problem is, when i did that for the hero, it never compiled right. maybe you'll have more luck?
ya ya, this should have been first. but we all wanted to play. but anyway here it is now.
this is the stock rom post OTA. added root (su and superuser.apk) as well as modified ramdisk (ro.secure=0) and busybox. Also zip aligned apps to optimize ram usage. there is odex (stock) and de-odex versions.
*i no longer see the reason for needing the pre-OTA rom. if you have a reason post up and we'll see what happens...
if you are upgrading from previous version of THIS rom you should not have to wipe, however you will still need to redo any system changes you have made, i.e. trackpad wake or notification lights.
Stock OTA kernel is now INCLUDED in rom flash. however if you want to flash an oc/uv/whatever kernel follow that post's instructions after this rom is up and running. i suggest pershoots kernels. been using his since the g1, awesome work. his g2 one has great performance AND battery life.(for me anyway)
These roms are g2 and dz compatible.
Cwm recovery recomended for ease and function.
1. Place stock rom of your choice on root of sdcard.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Do a nandroid backup.
4. Do a full wipe. (if coming from different rom)
5. Select flash zip from sd and select stock rom.
6. Once its finished, reboot and enjoy.

OTA bootv2 (kernel): http://www.4shared.com/file/y2NVlbJm/ota_boot_v2.html
*(only needed if you flashed a different kernel after the version 1.1 rom and want to go back to stock kernel. includes wifi module.)

theme template: http://www.4shared.com/file/VwINHT_r/theme_template.html
*theme template is for theme dev's only. it should be universal for any rom. just place the themed framework and/or apps in corresponding folders. i have a .txt file in the folders as a place holder, delete it after you add your themed stuff. take a look at the update script to see how it works, and to add or remove anything you need to...
change log:
v1.1:
fixed permissions and mismatched symlink issue w/busybox. (thanks to Mikey1022 for bringing this prob to my attn.)
v1.0:
initial release
Awesome thanks!! Do we have to flash a separate kernel if coming from Sense, and if so, do you have the stock kernel in a flashable .zip? Thank you in advance,
Russ
Nice work! good to have a base Rom to fall back on but why do we need three Roms for stock? why not just deodex the stock Rom with the OTA applied and be done with it? less work for you, right? I know this is quicker and will help folks who have boot looped/ soft bricked their phones. either way, good job and thanks!
Can I just remove the odex files along with the bloatware apk files from my current rom? I know they are both located in the systems/app folder.

Did you try booting? Ignore error, till i can get home from work and fix it. I usually do it in differeent order though. Full wipe, flash rom, get error, ignore. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot.img OR flash one of the aosp flashable kernel zip.

You need to wipe when going from rom to rom. Get cwm recovery and follow my instructions above.
lmao, i think i did that, just in reverse order. Don't worry man, I think you need to get some rest when you get home. Thanks for the quick response btw

I have already wiped via stock recovery - both data/ settings and cache

Also I tried to flash boot.img from fast boot but no cigar. Am I trying to flash from the wrong place?
Should I be naming the file something else? I think I left the name as is and/ or may have tried to flash by calling it PC10IMG
Thanks buddy, got it figured out, iono why but I was using "fastboot flash..." instead of "fastboot boot..." all good now.

After flashing successfully i still got this notification *Low on space" Note that even before flashing i got that. After googling it several times.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488351
Even this link says on step3b, make sure there is no low on sapace notification, but how do i do it?

Please advice me to clean up some memory. So that i can install some apps and make my android really work. Shall i update to 4.04 or gingerbread is fine. I am totally confused what should i do.

Just do a factory reset then make a second partition on your sdcard and use link2sd. Problem solved.
Is factory reset and hard reset are the same?

I think you need root for this mod.
AW: [Q] Low on space notification -- Please help me
sorry, i was at training, so i could not reply that fast.
well, rooting is allways a first step.
i did it that way: (short form only, if u want additional info's, just ask)
1. root
2. put a new rom + gapps on ur sd card
3. flash a prerootet kernel with preinstalled recovery which fits to ur rom
4. flash rom + gapps
5. reboot
6. connect phone to pc
7. backup ur sd card
8. delete ur entire sd card (thats why u have to make the backup)
9. reboot into recovery
10. wipe all
11. search for 'partition sd card'
12. choose ur values that u want
13. reboot into system
14. connect to pc
15. put all files back on sd card
16. download the mod and put in on sd too
17. reboot into recovery
18. flash the mod
19. wipe all
20. reboot
21. YOU'RE DONE!!

Modules.zip is inside of fusion kernel rar file : D No there is no risk in flashing wifi modules because these are just a files required for a custom kernel to work properly. I mean like a drivers in windows so the wifi can work.
Just remember to format system, data, cache partitions in CWM before flashing anything. And I forgot about this http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip these are the newest google apps for JB without this Play store, google maps etc wont work.

Hi guys, I've looked all over XDA and I can't seem to find anything related to this, so here goes.
I have a rooted HTC One m8 a custom Marshmellow 6.0.1 Rom with TWRP installed.
however, when I try to install mods that modify the system, like busybox or audio mods, they never install and the changes don't stick when I reboot my phone. (e.g; busbox will say it's not installed after I reboot when it clearly has been, but everything done is reverted after I reboot the phone.) Does this mean my phone is NAND locked or something? or does it have something to do with /vendor restoring things? I've looked in /vendor and /system/vendor but none of them have any of the named files busybox or any lib or /etc files that should be replaced upon reboot, so idk where to go from there. Do I just delete the entire /vendor folder?
I really want to get this to work, but none of my mods will install because they keep asking me to install busybox, which I must have done 1,000 times by now, but the changes always revert on reboot.
Can anyone help me please? Thank you
The system is write protected now. You need to flash a permissive kernel. ElementalX works good.
Above suggestion works, or you can also flash the write protection mod (wp_mod) posted in the following ROM thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-stock-unlocked-developer-sense-7-t3262894
I was looking for that link, but didn't find it. Thanks for jumping in buddy!

Superuser mod is a modification to the Java framework in the phone, which enables you to apply changes that would otherwise require a signature verification check,. So, the theme applied in the screen shot, would not apply properly to a device without Superuser mod.
