[MOD] Nexus S Gingerbread on Steam (with working keyboard)

Just to demonstrate the power of Steam, I hereby provide you a Steam Powered Gingerbread
This is based on SC's idea of using /data to store the gingerbread files, which works even if FSR is not loaded.
I also went forward and fixed the keyboard issue, so now the home, back and menu buttons work as expected! Oh, and also added recovery mode (running steam recovery of course ), that can be opened using the ususal three button combo. ("adb reboot recovery" or similar will not work however)
What still doesn't work:
- Wifi
- Modem (3g and phone)
- Camera
- Gps
Installation:
1. Download the system dump from here, and put the file on the root of your internal SD card
2. If not already on ext2 or ext4, convert your /data partition to ext4. (because the next step requires Steam Recovery, I'd go with Steam kernel, if your current one doesn't support ext on /data)
3. Download the afterburner install files from here
4. Create a steam directory on your internal sdcard, and put the previously downloaded file there. If there are other afterburner*.zip files there, delete them.
5. Enter Steam Recovery (there are multiple ooptions on how you can get it), choose afterburner, select both options, then press "Install". This will take a while. You might want to switch to log window 1, where you can see the /system extraction progress
6. After finished, reboot. Gingerbread will boot up.
7. If asked to install Steam kernel you can do so, but first read note.
8. Enjoy. To switch back, flash any kernel. If you want your old data back, flash a kernel with ext4 support.
9. If you switched back to a "normal" kernel, you can use afterburner to get back to gingerbread too. Only select the second option when running afterburner, and on the next reboot, gingerbread will greet you in a state as you've never left it.
Note: A steam kernel installation requires you to reboot into recovery after installing it. On base Galaxy S ROMs this is done automatically, but gingerbread's kernel lacks the commands needed to programmatically reboot into recovery. Therefore it will always reboot into normal android mode, where he finds out that he needs to reboot into recovery, but boots into normal mode, etc... to exit this loop simply reboot into recovery manually (using the three button combo), to finish installation of Steam Kernel. You will be greeted with the afterburner window, press back without selecting any of the options (they won't work anyway), and you're done.
Alternate install: Of course you don't need afterburner to install this. Simply follow the instructions on supercurio's page, but use the kernel found inside afterburner.zip, instead of the one provided on the mentioned thread. /data needs to be converted to ext4 though.
Source:
Steam Kernel: https://github.com/SteamMOD (all directories starting with android_bootable_steam_ / tag 2.9.9.1)
Fixed kernel: https://github.com/SteamMOD/steam_kernel_ns_on_galaxys
Initramfs: https://github.com/SteamMOD/steam_initramfs_galaxys/tree/master/ns-on-sgs-i9000
You can compile it by yourselves using the Android Compiler VM 2.0 with the compiler scripts found here

Not exactly following you on how to install the Steam Kernel. Do I need to pull the battery at some point? If so, when? If not, what am I supposed to to do manually get it into recovery mode? No matter what I do I am always greeted with "Steam doesn't seem to be installed, or it was recently uninstalled." etc.

Nice work, you lift up the level of this forum

Amazing. i will pay you the 2011 Sziget if that works. lol

Hmmmm nothing happens when I choose "Install" in afterburner menu.. It seems to be instant. Just like it didn't found the install file.
I named the folder "steam" at the root and put the afterburner.zip into it though..
Edit: Okay I'm f***** stupid, didn't check the two options. It works now.. really sorry
Edit2: It seems like I'm stuck in steam recovery. Everytime I reboot I get this message : "Partition /res/.fake/gingerbread/cache could not be mounted!"
The "format partition to ext4" function doesn't seem to work as well. Same for the proposition of installing Steam kernel..
I had my /data partition formatted in ext4 via voodoo though.
So basically, whatever choice I make, it'll never boot... Do I have any other solution than a flash with odin to get something working ?

huge work, and it works !
well done

Awsome, my Hungarian friend! It's not a slogan: you are really the best.

[Q] Help with making a custom flashable zip

I am attempting to make a flashable zip that adds MIUI camera and a boot animation to CM7. Every time I attempt to flash my zip, I get 'Installation Aborted' with no other messages or errors. I am at a loss to what I've done wrong, and I think I signed it correctly.
I attached my file, any help would be appreciated.
I am also at a loss for what exactly the update-binary file is for, or how to go about getting one.

you can try changing
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
to
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
take out the mounts and unmounts of data and cache...you don't need them. If it still fails you can do adb pull cache/recovery/log x (where x is location and name of where you want to save it)
the log will give you more detail of why it's failing but it's probably that line.

Now it is giving me an error 6. Lame. :/

[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.

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.

[HowTo] Create your own custom rom using kitchen

Not my responsibility if you soft brick your phone.
What you need:
1.Kitchen by Dsixda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
2./system directory of your custom/stock rom.
3.Root access on phone
Root browser https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkucm9vdC5icm93c2VyZnJlZSJd
Root explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&feature=search_result
5.Common sense and half an hour (MOST IMPORTANT)
Instructions:
(I presume that you have already installed Cygwin.)
GETTING SYSTEM FILES
1.Install your preferable Root file browser in your phone.
2.Open and look down for system folder in it.
3.Copy the whole folder on your sd card
OR
1.Open your favourite custom rom and copy the system files in there.I personally used creeds v2.5
(Use this method if you want to test it or you are a lazy kid like me!)
SETTING UP ROM
1.Open Cygwin and type "cd kitchen" and press enter
2.Type "./menu" in it. You will see a menu after that.
3.Go to Cygwin>>home>>user>>kitchen>>original_update
4.Make a folder there named as "WORKING_XXXXX" and put the /system files you obtained in it.
5.Go back to Cygwin and press 1.
6.Press enter once again and select the name of your working folder by pressing the number against it.
7.After this it will ask for naming another folder.Do as you want.
8.Now you have a working folder which is going to become your future rom. Select any options from the menu which you would like to have in your rom.(I have not tested all of them so there is a chance that some of them wont work).
BUILDING THE ROM
1.Press 99 to build the working folder.
2.Go for the interactive mode so press 1.
3.Zipalign them by pressing y. A wall of text would come but dont worry
4.Add updater-script. Again a hell lot of text
5.Press y again
6.Sign your rom by pressing y
7.Change the name of your rom by pressing y
8.Press Enter to finish!
9.Go to OUTPUT_ZIP and open the your rom and go in META-INF fodler.Over here you need to put the updater scripts which you want for your rom. I have tested the scripts from Creeds v2.5 and it installs perfectly. (This is not a necessary step because you can also install your rom with the original META-INF script.)
10.Copy the rom to your sdcard
11.Boot in cwm and wipedata+cache and then install your rom.(Have a backup in hand)
12.It should install perfectly cuz it booted properly in my 9/10 tests.
If you want to customise your rom then look below. It should be done before the building the rom.

DONT KNOW IF THEY WORK OR NOT. I AM STILL TESTING THEM.
Ok here is it for tweaking and making your rom beautiful.
Tweaking-

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If you get problems in installing a rom then change your META-INF folder with this one :http://www.mediafire.com/?0g1m8cobnby046u
1A .Use the script above if you have integrated kernel in your rom.
1B. If you have a rom without kernel then remove these lines:
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
2. If there is a package error then extract the files of the rom and repack them using any compression software.
3. If rom installed correctly but stuck onto logo screen?? Then remove try removing kernel and flashing rom again.
4. If rom installed correctly but got onto bootloop then there could be many possibilities which could lead to this. If you want accurate cause of it then do a logcat.
5. If there are some apk's which are not working then check if you correctly modded them.
Most of the problems occur because of updater-script problems so before trying any of the troubleshooting try the first tip.If you face different problem then post below.

in case if dsixda's script didn't work (show error 7) we can follow these guide:
1. extract the rom.
2. open updater-script with notepad++
3.1 if we want install only the rom, without kernel. delete 'write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:'
3.2 if we want install the kernel and the rom, replace 'write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:' with
package_extract_file("bmlunlock", "bmlunlock");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "boot.img");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "bmlunlock");

run_program("/system/bin/dd", "if=boot.img", "of=/dev/block/bml7");
4. save the file
5. rezip the rom

CWM and TWRP

Just curious. Will CWM will completely placed by TWRP nowadays?
I personally use CWM since the first time i use android. And now i saw on many forums, most of the custom Roms used TWRP to flash.
Are all the devs (and their roms) use only TWRP since now? Or are CWM still can be use to flash the roms too?

What? Use what you like, both should work just fine.

I thought some of the devs made and will make the roms only compatible with TWRP only. Thanks if they're not

It's my understanding that almost any rom will flash in any recovery. There are probably exceptions but this is what I've found to be the case most of the time.

The ROMs are compatible with either recovery, but the OTA updating apps are not. Some newer ROMs use GooManager for OTA updates:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en
...and this requires TWRP to automatically flash ROM updates.
Many older ROMs use ROM Manager for updates:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
...and this requires CWM to flash ROMs from within the app.
Any recovery should flash any ROM (the newer versions of TWRP may have trouble with older ROMs due to those having outdated installer binaries), but if you use ROM Manager or GooManager to flash ROMS, you need the recovery that is compatible with the app.

Goo manager needs TWRP to OTA update. I switched from CWM to TWRP and I like TWRP better. IT has a much better interface, scrollable on the touch screen and the backups are compressible.

I tried twrp and could not get it to install a kernel zip. Kept giving an error.

So you'll have to get with your kernel dev to update his update-binary.

It is pretty easy to update the files your self. Just open the flashables zip with a zip program like 7zip. Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android. Replace the update-binary in the zip with this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.3.1.0/update-binary compatible with twrp 2.3+.
With the updated binary comes some new coding in the updater-script also. Open the updater-script with a good text editor like Text Pad, do not use notepad or wordpad. Look for mount and format commands that look like this:
Code:
format("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
format("MTD", "cache", "/cache");
And change them to look like this:
Code:
format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "0", "/system");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
format("ext4", "MTD", "cache", "0", "/cache");
The above is just an example of the formating required for the new binary. Your roms updater-script may have other lines which format or mount other partitions than those listed. Format has 5 arguments "file system of partition - MTD - partition name - 0 - and mount point". Mount has 4 arguments "file system of partition - MTD - partition name - mount point".
If your decent with reading coding and have a little time its not to dificult to accomplish.
If anyone who cant figure it out is interested, i will start a new post in general where i will update your flashable for you. I know a lot of the roms kernels and flashables around arent really supported by their devs anymore, but are still used.
FYI. All flashable files on dinc.does-it.net are now twrp 2.3+ compatible.
