[Q] Updater-script for stock - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hey guys,
I have unpacked a stock 2.3.6 rom and unpacked system.rfs, but how do i make the updater-script with what i can install it in CWM? I want he rom to be in Ext4, so there must be something like: mount (ext4/.../...) in the script right?
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Thatgrass

Format
Mount
Install system
Install data
Symlink
Set permissions
Install kernel

This is the standard list, you can take mounts and wipe from another roms updaterscript

So can I copy updater-script from an other rom? Or at least symlinks etc?

At least format, mount, and kernel,
But note that mounting is EXT4 and not rfs, and kernel name is stated right or it wont install

but how can i create a whole updaterscript? typing??

Uhhm yes..
Use another one as base and edit everything to match yours...
Ui prints are easy, but symlinks take some more time

from my experience if the kernel does not setup the sd-ext folder sd-ext will not mount. i have yet to find a ics kernel with it built in.

Stock kernels don't typically have support for startup scripts like this.

link2SD does not use the SD-Ext directory even if your 2nd partition is EXT 2/3/4. It is most prob kernel related, to be sure format your 2nd partion as FAT32, That file system can be used with link2SD and is natively supported by android.

Can you make it so it directs the backups to external SD? None of my backups are on internal due to size constraints

You want it so the backup is stored on the external instead of the internal? I can add that in the next release.

[Tester Needed] s2efix -> Making your device support S2E :D

Hey guys,
I'm one of S2E translators (Italian one ) and I'm proud of my job; I'd use anytime S2E but I had problems with ext corruption.
So, I managed to obtain a little script to avoid this.
For me it works; it's written to avoid ext4 tunefs tune up. If someone could test (use s2e without and with the script) I'd be glad.
So, here it is: s2efix
Waiting hopefully for testers and reports.

Yup!
But I think that your CM7 has already that fix.
Can you check if is present in your '/etc/init.d' folder a '02gio' file?
I'm sorry... But as far as i know, cm already support for S2E right?
Using it always on my phone before i know other script....

Yes of course, S2E only works on cyanogenmod. But sometimes it doesn't works well on some cyanogenmod based rom, I had it my self, sometimes after reboot I can't open my apk and it's has weird icon. And I'm gonna share this on my group, hopefully there is some one there that would test this
About the init.d folder i checked but actullay i didnt mention tht the rom i have is a port from ace so it has 02cooper
Edit: Do I have to flash this zip to avoid corrupt of ext?

To tell the truth i quite face some minor problems on s2e like sometimes my phone gets total freeze and i need to take out the battery n when i do my phone boots like as if i did a factory reset so i have to restart my phone to fix it and sometimes when i flash a new rom i have to make a partion again using cwm any suggestions?

Old versions do note have tunefs and so no ext corruption.
For lag, on my Gio works like a charme with also data2sd.
Maybe depends on sd class or on a too big ext...

So what your suggest for ext size? I usually partition it to 1GB for ext4 on my 8GB class 10
1gb for ext it's to big for me... Imo..
I just set only 600mb, and it's enough for me...

Well i think so, but I think it is nice to have a "1.00 GB" letter on internal storage lol
Depends on your needs, I use a 512 mb ext.

I can test! what i gotta do?
Backup everything, in order to restore later, with a nandroid backup.
Your sd-ext must be ext4.
After this:
- Wipe all
- Install CM7/9/10
- Boot into phone
- Install S2E, configure it with ext4
- Reboot, so it's enabled
- Try installing some apps
Theorically it'll lags like hell.
After wipe and do all the above but flash CM and my fix.
And, please, report logcats.

This will be out of the topic . Every time I do restore, my sd ext reverted to ext3. Is it just me or everybody else experienced the same thing?

Format system?

Why don't we format system when we flash a new rom? I remember doing it with the epic touch..
You might find that updater-script's format /system as part of the install process, so it wouldn't be necessary.
Its recommended when flashing aokp. Don't know about the others

Me too, I wipe everything but the storage, and if I'm flashing from aosp to tw or vice versa will wipe it all a 2nd time just to be safe and make sure it got everything, probably not necessary but I'm a lil ocd about wiping for clean installs :screwy:
