[Q] SU not working

I am just about to release my new barebones build with a lot of new features but one thing is killing me. I cannot get superuser to work anymore with the latest build and the latest kernel. Rogue tools won't overclock without SU working and that just totall kills the speed of my build =(. The build is based off scoot's release 5 and I am using the latest kernel with and without the module update SU is unaffected. Everything else works though.

What have you changed from the build i sent you that might effect it? Does it work for you with the original build? Things to check are the sysinit.rc, make sure it calls userinit.sh on startup, and also check your userinit.sh in the /bin directory and make sure the su fix is still present in the file Otherwise, try opening the super user app and downloading the latest su binary file, if it fails to install then you most likely have partition permission issues.

I did edit userinit to enable the odex script. I am gonna check that now.

Ok I am pretty sure that was it. how do I add this line to userinit to have it be proper then? /system/bin/odex.sh

You'd need to put it in sysinit.rc like this :
service odex /system/bin/odex.sh

So put that line right at the end then? Or is there a special format it has to go in. Sorry, I have just never had to edit this particular file before lol.

At the end is fine, you will see some similar lines in there, you may want to add some options such as :
console
user root
oneshot
I don't know what the structure of the odex script is so i don't know which options you will need to get it to run properly but these are the most likely, just experiment and see

I've always put it at the end, after the su fix just as "/system/bin/odex.sh" and nothing else. What does service do? will it run it continuously or just with different permissions?
I would say its more likely that something's gone wrong while you edited userinit.sh, and now it can't be executed.
did you edit it in windows? you may have /n/r line endings now instead of /n
if you did it in linux it may be a permissions problem

fixed! I used the userinit from my old barebones. Something changed in the update. The two looked totally different.

[MOD] Hulu Hack GB/ICS 11.1.115.12

Ok guys, so I absolutely love Hulu and other legit TV sites, some of which prohibit mobile devices based on a "flash id" similar to what you have with a User Agent string for the browser. It is based on this ID that it prohibits mobile phones from accessing content such as hulu and HBO (I think?). With this mod your phone will appear as though it is a PC running flash and I believe it also modifies your version number to be something like 99.9.999.99 for sites that try and check the version number. I also must make sure to give credit where credit is due. Credit goes to imneveral0ne who posted the modified lib files in the Thunderbolt forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6#post12433036.
His mod stopped working because Gingerbread (and 10.3) copies the lib files from the APK itself back into the lib folder (/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/) on boot, thus require the mod be redone every reboot. I simply took his mod, wrote a simple script that installs the hacked lib files to /data/flash/ at first for storage, modifies permission of /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ so that it can be written to by the script, and also installs a "run on boot" script at /system/etc/init.d/01-fixflash.sh which will copy the hacked lib files from /data/flash to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/. It also adds Hulu Bookmark app (1.0) to /data/app.
REQUIREMENTS:
Kernel with init.d support (most custom kernels with root support) and root
Busybox (for running the copy commands. If you don’t have it, install ‘busybox installer’ from the market once you are rooted)
Root explorer (recommended, not required)
NOTE: I have developed this file FOR gingerbread.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Install latest flash player (11.1.115.12) from the market FIRST and be sure to uncheck automatic updates (and don't manually either)
Make sure busybox is installed. One way to test this is to type cp –help in ADB and see if it can run the command. If it does, you’re good to go.
Next, simply flash the zip. Wipe cache/dalvik if you want (I don't believe it's necessary, although again, this is my first time and for whatever reason the script doesn't seem to want to run on its own the first time)
Upon first reboot, you MAY be lucky enough that it simply just works and you’re all set.If you still get the “Hulu not available for your platform” error, simply use either root explorer or adb to run the script for the first time manually. In root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/init.d, tap on S98fixflash and select “execute”. In ADB, navigate to /system/etc/init.d and type ‘sh S98fixflash’. Wait a sec for it to run, then try Hulu again. It should be working immediately (without a reboot required) AND the script should then run correctly on subsequent reboots.
Like I said this is my first "product" I've been able to make available to the community and am more than open to suggestions, criticisms and ideas of how I can make this script better. Enjoy guys!
EDIT: If you do have issues with the script not running on every reboot, simply install "Script Manager" from the market, navigate to /system/etc/init.d, select S98fixflash and check the "run on boot" checkbox.
NOTE: ICS Only version now (least as far as I know). May work on others, please let me and others know if it does work on GB
File is now attached to post due to multiupload being unavailable -
UPDATE 6/26/2012 for 11.1.115.12
Note: after more feedback it seems using busybox installer from the market helps if running the script, even manually does nothing.

ahh too much to do
cba

Sorry, lots of explaining. If your rooted just update flash to latest in market, uncheck auto update adobe flash, then flash the zip. Should just work like it did on my gsII.

A query
I was going thru your update-script. What does this line do?
Code:
set_perm(0, 2000, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d/01-fixflash.sh");
I did not find a 01-fixflash.sh in /system/etc/init.d folder, only S98fixflash?

update 9/5/2011 for 10.3.186.6 AND hopefully fixed data mounting issues on certain devices so it works easily on CWM on more devices
NOTE: Latest update includes a brand new flashplayer.so files freshly edited, so no more issues with youtube in the browser, and uses TRUE flash 10.3.186.6 libraries for increased performance (no longer based on 10.2)

does nothing no matter what on kh3 deodexed

I'm using it now on litening 6.1 (kh3) just fine with nymphetamine kernel. This thread is also in the epic 4g forums. Troubleshooting instructions are there a well as the op. Understand what the mod does by reading, then find out where its getting hung up. I guarantee if you read you'll find your problem. Sorry but I keep having to help people read my own posts... First guesses, reflash, check to see files were installed, run busybox installer,.try another kernel with working init.d support... Run script manually?

Nice work. Any way of getting this to work for HC on the Xoom?

Maybe, try it let me know. Our buy me a 10.1

LOL! Nah didn't work for me.

Actually I feel I remember it working fire xoom.maybe try the manual troubleshooting in the op. find and replace libflashplayer.so with what's in the zip

it won't let me even flash the file says:
E: Error in /sdcard/gb_hack_flash_hulu10.3.186.6.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.

all you need to do to get it to work is to extract the libflashplayer.so from the zip the op posted and copy it to (and replace) the libflashplayer.so in
Code:
/data/flash/libflashplayer.so
and
Code:
/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libplayerflash.so
do this using root explorer
this also enables crackle as well
there is no need to run a script

Beautiful, tried so many things in the past, and this works beautifully! Thanks!

Um, at the risk of sounding like a complete euro-dummy: What is Hulu, what does this hack do? Perhaps a bit of description in the first post?

Yes but when you reboot with 2.3 or higher it replaces those files again back to stock.

[Scripts][MOD] Supercharger Script! KAK + 3G Turbocharger Amazing!!

I am posting to spread the word for the best scripts on any android device i have ever seen and proven to work on various android phones and tablets that i own! Especially the htc Desire!
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
by: Zeppelinrox
None of these scripts is my work and only speaking from profound experience! I cannot describe how amazingly these 3 scripts can change the phone completely! It is now Superfast, no lag! and 3G is instant!!
Only works for rooted phones!
Very simple, follow the steps and couple requirements in original thread.
I'm using InsertCoin_GB_Sense 2.1 v1.1.4 rom. This should work for any android device flawlessly with little risk!
My settings for V6 Supercharger script
In script manager make sure root privilege is on but not boot!
512HP Super UL Option 7
then SuperClean and ReStart Option 30
KAK RC3
In script manager make sure root privilege is on and also boot!
Followed and accepted the prompts
3G TurboCharger
In script manager make sure root privilege is on and also boot!
I used Experimental 1
I used the following releases:
V6 SuperCharger Update 9 RC5, 3G TurboCharger RC3, KAK RC3 and DHBC RC2

It's good, this and titanium are the first 2 things I install on a new rom. Makes even sense 3.5 fly on our old desire.
From my HTC Desire AIO

What settings do you use?

I've installed it but to be honest, I already had some tweaks in place that this gives. I haven't noticed any improvements really.
Good for everyone else though. Looks well written.

Alright. After having installed this on my 2.3.3 Desire some 3 hours ago, i do see a noticeable improvement, especially in the way the launcher acts. It's much more fluid, even after a wake-up (when i used to get a little lag). I have configured the Supercharger just as the OP said and i have also installed the "KAK" module. I haven't installed any other module than these two (as i find no need for them).
How to install, for dummies:
1) Download "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC5.2.sh.pdf" and rename it to "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC5.2.sh.txt". Download "KickAssKernelizer_Tweaks_Installer_Update_3_RC3.1.sh.txt". Copy both files to the root of your SD card;
2) Go to the Market and download "Script Manager";
3) Open Script Manager and select "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC5.2.sh.txt". After the "pop-up" opens, click on the SuperUser icon and then click "Run" (no need to modify any other settings). This gives Script Manager root acces, which it needs for the script to be able to modify key system files;
4) Follow the on-screen instructions (that's a no brainer);
5) Do the same for "KickAssKernelizer_Tweaks_Installer_Update_3_RC3.1.sh.txt"*.
*Note - i haven't fiddled with the I/O tweaks, as the script said they're sort of experimental.
Advice: it's best to have an init.d enabled ROM, as this allows the Supercharger and KAK to run their scripts automatically during start-up. This cuts the need to use Script Manager to run them at boot, thus making life easier.

I've been using it for the longest time that I can't remember how my phone works when I don't have this running. CM7 is fast enough as it is... so there really isn't much to push in terms of speed but yeah you'll probably notice some slight improvements here and there.

I wonder what you would think after having it unsupercharged and unkernelized for a couple of days... lol

Maybe when I'm bored I'll uninstall it. I'm happy with your scripts and it's not giving me any negative performance issues to make me remove it.

after 2nd boot... my BravoC feels faster than before, especially when i try to look apps list after booting. superb !!!

would really appreciate a little help with installing this mod.
I read this on the ics thread -
You have to put the file as is it is in the sd card and then run the terminal
emulator and type:
su [enter]
sh \sdcard\[the name of the file] and again enter and then follow the guide.
the name of my file is -V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC8.2.sh
ive tried this many times , not working
do i change file extention by renaming ?

[HOW TO][MOD] V6 SuperCharger Script

Hi all,
I own no credits to this mod/script, it's all put together by zeppelinrox, Thanks go out to him for this! Orginal thread can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
This is the first post of this kind I have ever made, so it might not be that good, or any help at all, but for those who want to try this script for the first time, I shall try my very best to explain how to do so.
I had been running ROMS for my Nexus with the V6 SuperCharger built in, and decided to see if it'll run well on our humble little Tabs. And indeed it does, it could be a placebo of course, but I seem to notice a good difference.
First, there are a few requirements in order to use this script :-
You NEED to be Rooted, in order to do this (if you aren't already) you could try the excellent Quick and Easy Root Script by the genius Crossix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472521
Download and Install Script Manager from the Market
https://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
You also need to have BusyBox installed for the script to be run, I suggest installing the Script attached to the above V6 SuperCharger thread (even if you already have BusyBox installed to avoid errors). Simply scroll to the bottom of the thread and download the file named "busybox_v1.19.3_installer_script_wraithdu.zip"
To install this version of BusyBox navigate to where you saved the ZIP file, if on the Tab it should have downloaded to "/mnt/sdcard/Download", extract it using your file manager, I use ES File Explorer. Then open Script Manager and navigate to the extracted folder, find the script that should be called "busybox_v1.19.3_installer_wraithdu.sh", open this and select the "su" icon, make sure it is selected as a script and not executable.
To Run the Script:-
Scroll to the bottom of the SuperCharger thread and Download the file named " V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt" Navigate to where this file is downloaded, if on the Tab it should have downloaded to "/mnt/sdcard/Download", rename it using your favourite file manager, usually via a long-press to "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh"
Then open Script Manager and navigate to the script, open it using script manager, again taking care to run it as "su" as a script not an executable. The script should Run and prompt you for an option numbered 1-17. I chose Option 2, which is Aggressive Level 2 and noticed a good improvement, you can of course opt for the balanced options of 3 or 4. To input a number touch the screen and the on screen keyboard should pop up, hit a number and enter it.
The Script Should run and then prompt you for another option, don't choose another one just yet.
If you are running the excellent build.prop by Crossix, Icewyng et al, it is recommended to disable the device keeping Launcher in memory for the script to run properly. To do this, open Root Explorer, navigate to the build.prop, in "/system", and open it in the text editor. Scroll to the part of the prop file that begins "store launcher in memory" and change the below string to "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0"
In order for this to be a persistent change to how RAM is managed on our Tabs, a script has to be set up to be run at boot. To do this, in Script Manager, navigate to "/data" and open the script named "99SuperCharger.sh", and check the boxes of "su" along with "boot" to run it at boot.
After you have followed these steps reboot your Tab and you *should* see a snappier Tab
Please be aware that this is the very first HOW TO I have ever written, and it will probably be inaccurate and crap. So, please, feel free to correct my errors and I will try to help running the script.
Yours,
Toyface

Awesome scripts. Im going to give it a try here in a bit and see if there is a difference in performance.

Could someone confirm if this really works?

I just did this and have notices an improvement but do follow instructions carefully

Frankly the whole you cant modify his script deal is a HUGE turn off. I understand him wanting credit for his hard work, BUT wth. I'll stick to safer things.
EDIT: Forget what I said I completely miss understood what he says in his post. He says
"Personal Use: You may tweak the V6 installation script (leaving credits intact) to your own personal liking as long as it is NOT redistributed in any way."
His autostart script script looks very handy. I was considering trying Gscript already here is a new reason hehe.

I can see why he doesn't want redistributables floating around, even with the open source (something I feel very strongly about) nature of the forum.

You can also auto start scripts without having to use script manager or any other scripting program by calling them from within install-recovery.sh (see my sdswap mod).
For example if you had a script /data/app/supercharger.sh
in install_recovery.sh you'd add a line sh /data/app/supercharger.sh

Cool. I have re-written another version of my hulu script in .sh and set it up to be able to run in a normal verbose mode, or to accept "silent" as a command line argument to redirect output to a lhulu.log file instead to better allow for the option of running at startup like a cron entry or what ever our allowed methods are on android.(like the one you just referenced, thanks) I'm planning on playing with it a little to figure out the best and easiest method. Then repost the updated version that can be a semi permanent fix.

install-recovery.sh won't work for the hulu lib, sometime after that script is loaded all the apks libs get extracted for whatever reason. Unless you put a wait in there for the prop sys.boot_complete or something like that. Might also need to use busybox run-parts for a seperate init.d script, not sure if the wait would actually stop the rest of the boot process.

It should be fine, install_recovery is called really late in the boot process you're right about putting the waits in, if you look at my swapscript you'll see the amount of time I used to get it to work (and it does not pause the other processes).

It's not as late as I previously thought myself. dmesg won't work at that point and getting a logcat from there you'll see it's the start of the system log just when vold starts up. Which is why you need a few sleeps in your script. Using it was my second attempt at 2nd-init, which wasn't possible until after my first bootloop, the boot animation starts later but also before the libs are replaced.
For hulu I've just been running a gscript after a reboot because of this, at least until I find a different solution.
Anyway install-recovery is the perfect spot for any kind of kernel tweaks and also SuperCharger.
@toyface sorry for being off topic

Sorry a little confused with the last part how do I navigate to /data in script manager?
Edit.. never mind. ma bad noob moment, couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get out of the mnt part of the directory.

Official HTC Flashlight APK for custom ROM [WORKING]

I have tried many of stock HTC Flashlight APKs on my WFS+CM9+MIUIv4, but none of them worked. Then I digged the error log using logcat and fixed the issue. It was simply due to permissions. Change the permissions of the file /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness to 666, if the flashlight works fine, then you may need to create a /etc/init.d script to set permission each time device boots.
Create a file in /etc/init.d with following line
chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness

A really good find...... Good for people who still want some sense stuff in custom roms
I personally never used the HTC application, but will try this sometime

ill try nextime.. busy for work right now, anyway tnx!

I would like to ask something, a little offtopic, but I'm sorry. Could the same be applied for Link2SD? In the custom rom that I use (gb_2.3.7) every time I reboot it doesn't show the apps and I have to recreate mount scripts and "quick reboot". So if I write something relevant on the android emulator to give permission would it be solved..?
Again, sorry for the offtopic.
