What do you mean? It has some configuration settings, and there's a "CustomCommands" section where you can pass your own commands to the system at boot. So some have been using it recently to bind mount a few files to test some hw3d stuff. gralloc changes, etc.
I use this section to delete all of the *.rec files that are created at the root of my SD. The command is pretty straightforward
Code:
rm -f /sdcard/*.rec
Not sure what else you're looking for to be honest...

WOW I DID THIS AND IT MADE MY PHONE 3x FASTER......THANKS A MILLION!!!!
Really I was just looking for useful commands to maybe make boot times faster. I'm actually Linux+ certified for the douchebag I'm quoting but have never messed with android and really dont even know that much about it. If you have any useful commands to run at startup let me know.
and the better way is rm -f-r / so you make sure it gets everything

1) I wrote "whatever else than", not "try this".
2) Only the mighty ultranoob could possibly try something clearly labeled "to be avoided", but I guess this ultranoob wouldn't even locate the conf file, nor bother about it.
3) In any case I evaluated hatefuel skilled enough to survive.
It seems I was right about his skillbase, but also quite wrong about his sense of humor ...

Well I don't see how removing the root directory from the sd card could properly fsck up a phone but hey, im the one asking for help here right?
my bad that I came off like a douche i just hate asking for help with some new stuff and getting replies that don't belong. I didnt know if there was any neat stuff that could be done with this file specifically for android. As this post is going nowhere I wouldn't complain if a mod deleted it LMFAO

Possibility of CWM for the NITRO HD!!

Alright Guys,
so I just got a reply back from one of the Devs!! His name is Tenfar (he brought CWM over for the Atrix) and he said he will be more than happy to create CWM for the Nitro but since he does not have the phone yet, he needs our help. Here are the things he need:
boot.img dump of the phone or
recovery.img dump of the stock firmware
Now I don't have the phone yet (shipping out to me) so can someone please get these to me and I will send them to him. Try getting both dumps so he has more options to work with.
He is of course not making any promises on what he can do for us, but this is a start! Our first support will be a CWM, and if we can have this, then the doors will be wide open. So please get those dumps to me asap! Oh God I'm Giddy with excitement!! rofl!

Lets see if I can post a link to the files from my public dropbox folder....
Boot : http://db.tt/VRY60QRv
Recovery : http://db.tt/L6OwMJmx
Please let the developer know the location.
Thanks!
Also please let the dev know that I would be more than happy to help out with anything possible.

Dude, awesome!! Thank you for the dumps. I'll get these to him now. And i'll definitely will let him know that he can reach u personally for anything he might need to get this done!

big thanks to schwinn97 for taking a dump in this thread!

Schwin, I know nothing about these things, but after downloading the files, I can't seem to open them at all. I see that they're huge files for a .txt format but notepad just crashes opening them. And both wordpad and word can't encode it properly. I just wanna make sure that the files work before sending them over to him x)

I added the .txt so that I could put them in my dropbox account on my phone - for some reason Astro wasn't finding them when they were .img files. Also, they are not in a normal format for viewing - search around for unpack-bootimg.pl if you want to get at the contents of the files. You will need perl installed - and possibly other items as well (I have cygwin installed). This is what happens when I pick up my phone after feeding my baby his middle of the night bottle...

Oh my sweet titty milking Jesus! This..definitely made my day haha. Nice work Aqua

Thanks Pearson Just trying to help as much as I can here. I'm gonna try and reach out to some other Devs as well in the mean time, but I'm 100% sure that if we ever get a CWM, other Devs will start looking our way and in no time, many new things will happen here. There are many others here too that are making a difference with all the things they contribute and they are all amazing as well. Pls make sure to thank them for all their hard work.

Hi guys, maybe try Terminal Emulator to port the boot.img onto the phone, and then attempt CWM?
YOU brick, I'm not to blame. But give it a go!
Please thank me or give results.

What commands do you use in terminal to port it?

Seeing as we have yet to unlock either the recovery partition or bootloader, i am curious too... Just exactly what commands are you referring to rydeN??? and do you know how to get into those partitions?? Please tell us....

I could give you the tut via the Thrill, would this work? It works the same way. All you need is a tut no exact phone, they all work the same.

test version of CWM
please test first ,make sure you have backup your recovery partition.
download link will be available shortly
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/592630/clockworkmodforlghd.zip
Download a terminal program from the android market
Open terminal on phone and type
Code:
su
Then hit enter (a superuser prompt will pop up, hit allow)
Then back up by typing this into the terminal apk on your phone
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p13.backup bs=4096
Then hit enter
Then put it on phone by typing this into the terminal apk on your phone
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 bs=4096
Then hit enter
If you accidentally put it on your external sdcard than type this into terminal apk
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/_ExternalSD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 bs=4096
Then hit enter
then try to reboot to recovery
Code:
reboot recovery
Thats it, hope this helps. beware this is not tested ,someone must test this .

CRT Screen Off Mod

Here is an interesting article that will help you if you want CRT screen Off animation like in Nexus S:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
Worked with no problems on my SGC with Rogers ROM.
I actually used NinjaMorph to package the modified resources.arsc into framework-res.apk, but I assume the original method will work too.

Safe to flash
this?

Probably no. Most likely you will end up with phone freezing on the Samsung logo at boot. framework-res.apk files are not interchangeable between models, maybe not even between firmware versions for the same phone.

Can you post a step by step guide then? I can't really understand anything here

The step-by-step instructions from the link in the first post are pretty much what i did. Read the comment by ravenstark - if you mount the filesystem with root explorer there will be no need to execute the commands in red in section 8.
The instructions from the link in your post cover steps 3-7. You still have to download the file to your PC (1), decompile it (2) and upload it back to the phone once you are done with it (8).

For the first step which terminal do you use??
(Free Your Android guide)

adb. If you don't have you can download it from here. It is part of the SDK and probably the most essential tool.
The command is exactly as written there

Aquethys said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you mean? If you're using a Windows PC, then just open up a cmd prompt. You should read the guides at the beginning of that page so you know how to setup adb and the apk tool.
The big picture is this. Connect your pc to computer, pull file from phone to PC using adb, modify file on PC, push file back to phone using adb.
For what it's worth, here's a thread I wrote quite a long time ago, some is not applicable for the Glide, but most of it still applies. If you're going to be mucking around in your phone it's best to know how to do a few things first. Read Before Flashing.

When I try and open SDK or AVD (what's the difference :| ) then I just get a quick terminal screen that closes.

It would be appreciated if someone could just create a flashable CWM version >_<

I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Ok, so what have you done so far?
What should be done. Assuming you're using Windows, install the Android SDK. Once installed, launch the SDK Manager. Then from the list of installable options, choose the Platform Tools and I always like to get the drivers. Once done, you will have this path, CrogramFiles(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, now you could add this path to your variables in Windows, which would be easiest, or copy the Platform-tools folder to C:. Then plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
Now, if you added the Path to your variables, just go Start>Run>cmd, and at the cmd prompt type adb devices. If you see a device you're good.
If you copied the Platform-tools folder over, then Start>Run>cmd, and in the cmd prompt type,
C:
then
cd platform-tools
then
adb devices
Beyond that, can't really help, never use apk tool. Good luck.

Attached to this post is a CWM update with CRT Screen OFF and battery icon with percent for ROGERS ROM. I'm not sure this will work on AT&T ROM.
Make a backup before applying this update so you can restore if you end up stuck on SAMSUNG logo on boot.

Hopefully the file tcfx44 posted works for you. Either way, I highly suggest you learn how to use adb and some other tools if you plan on flashing your phone in the future. It could prove useful some day.

Will this apply over OsiMood? I really am not sure if I am using the Rogers, but apparently I am because in XDA App it says I927-R and same with a benchmark.

Doesn't work for OsI mood 2.1.30 or whatever version was released today. I don't want to give up the amazing UI and stuff of OSi. I'm working fine though, so doesn't look like the install failed or bricked. Any revisions?

I changed a bit the CWM mod. Hopefully this one will work. Make a backup of your current ROM - I'm not sure if this mod is compatible with OsiMood.

Anyone having problems powering off and crashing GO Launcher? (then run through media scanner, etc..)
Could you remove the battery mod? I don't like it compared to OSiMood battery >_>
Finally, sorry for demanding so much, could you also put CRT on and ICS animations here?
Sorry!!!!!

[For Dev] /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 reverse engineered, boot images customizable

I'll start this thread by posting the IDA .idb file and a linux shell script that dumps out the stock images.
To use:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/mnt/sdcard/something
exit
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/something
run the script with: ./get_images.sh something
Anyone want to make some new custom themed ones?
It was only 1 day's work to disassemble the partition. (Example, Exhibit II disassembled here) If you have other dumps made with dd you want me to take a look at, I might be able to help you.

For example, here's a sample of what the original image looked like, and what the new one looks like when my phone boots.

Huh, I did this the first day I got the phone over 2 months ago. It's no hocus pocus.

soo the boot logo cant be change arcoo???

It can be changed yes.

what are the disadvantages arco? and how are youuu legend? xD

No worries.
I like reading any & all .idb's; I'll share any I can get my hands on or generate.

After completing my analysis, the only way to get added functions from odin mode (on this phone) would be to exploit it.
It stores the URB on the stack - so sending shellcode should be possible. If you're interested, please reply with your favorite IRC channel. If your name is Mr. Jongshik, you're the author of the code - mind posting the source?
What added functions? Things like diagnostic & debugging tools. The current stuff is very limited.

More EMMCBOOT versions
I have a different EMMCBOOT version on my phone — images are at some different offsets.
I have attached a file with dumps of partitions 5 and 21 (p21 looks like a boot backup, seems to be called /boot/appsbl_bkp in some places). The backup version in p21 looks like yours (at least image offsets are the same); also the md5sum of the first 1554432 bytes of it is 28ebdcd5ba941c1b9b9cd9ad6f6929f5, and exactly this value is in the table at the start of partition 1 — probably this is the version from factory, and the version which is now in p5 came with FOTA updates (initial version was I8150XXKJ1, updated with FOTA first to I8150XXKJ6, then to I8150XXLA2).

I warn people when I release an untested recovery on a given device
Most noobs tend to forget that flashing is not a safe operation. It can always turn into a nightmare
You can check the list of currently supported devices from main thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
And browse into the different device support forums
Till now, the warning never became true except when some people flashed the wrong file in their phone
This warning should keep noobs away from testing it

Ah, yeah I have nothing against the warning, glad it's there even The Nexus 10 is a tablet though, not phone

I went to bootloader, erased recovery and flashed this one. Rebooted to recovery.
Battery meter at top-right says -1% (my tablet was on Pogo charge for hours prior to flashing). Get an error about being unable to create brightness sys file. During key test, randomly getting constant presses when holding 3 fingers on screen (probably a touchscreen-related issue).

Thank you for the feedback (reached my daily limit for :good
Brightness:
Do you by case know the path for your device brightness file?
Not a big deal though as I can search / look for it in rc files. I used Samsung usual path, but it seems they used a different one for google devices
Battery:
Will check for the battery path used
Touch
It is supposed to be one finger to use
Interesting though...

Can any one run this in adb shell while in recovery
Or you can use the console terminal in aroma file manager while in recovery
Code:
find /sys/. -name '*bright*' >/sdcard/brightness.txt
Then
Code:
find /sys/. -name '*battery*' >/sdcard/battery.txt
And attach the resulting brightness.txt and battery.txt files on sdcard
About multi touch: i will look to allow only slot 0 to ignore second finger

OK -- re-learning linux command line as I go (it's been many years!). Good to wake up that part of the brain again...
Had to modify command above: needed a space between ls and -l, and I'm assuming you want "/sys" up front in the fully qualified file name... Assuming that's all good, the new result is attached as battery2.txt
Let me know if this is what you need, or if anything else is needed. I've got some time to squeeze in a few of these today as needed. Also REALLY looking forward to trying this out on my N10 (and would love to see this on the Galaxy Nexus if ever possible!).
