[ADDON][Xperia S] Generic startup/init.d scripts support for Stock ROM/Kernel

[ info ]
i am attaching a easy to run package which contains the files required for full functionality of executing startup scripts (init.d scripts)...
basically this will allow the user to execute custom shell scripts, placed in /system/etc/init.d/ folder and they will be executed on each boot!
i dont have this device yet!!
thanks to Jozinek for testing this on his phone!
[ requirements ]
stock rooted ROM
windows PC with adb drivers installed
[ how to install ]
download the provided zip package
save it on c:\
extract the contents of the package
connect phone with usb debugging active to PC via ADB
execute "runme.bat"
follow onscreen instructions & enjoy!
incase some issue is there post the output/log of script
[ additional info ]
i have added the following things in the package:
corrected /system/bin/sysint file
run-parts binary in /system/xbin/run-parts (which is basically busybox 1.19.3 binary)
correct /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file (this file gets executed by default on stock kernel too!)
test/example script /system/etc/init.d/99test
to check if this is working the test script (99test) will create a temporary file /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt on each boot

Nice work, this will enable the Speedy v7 int.d hacks, can you incorporate this in the above? As an addon perhaps.
Done, $50 "AU" dollars coming your way mate.

this init.d support can be used to execute ANY shell script/program at startup... u are free to choose the ones u want...
if anyone needs help on how to push the scripts onto device let me know... but script specific info i dont have, u will need to ask the developer of those scripts..

I used this script to move dalvik cache to /cache folder:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# relocate dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache
if [ ! -d /cache/dalvik-cache ]
then
busybox rm -rf /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
fi
busybox chown 1000:1000 /cache/dalvik-cache
busybox chmod 0771 /cache/dalvik-cache
# create symlink
busybox mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
busybox chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache
After reboot i saw folder /cache-dalvid in both folders /data and /cache, is it normal?
Thank!

I found that for devices rooted with locked bootloader
Line 21 of runme.bat need to change from
HTML:
@files\adb shell "su -c 'busybox mount -t ext4 -o rw,remount /system /system'"
to
HTML:
@files\adb shell "su -c 'busybox mount -o remount,rw /system'"

This is all great, exactly what I was looking for! But what about if the ROM already has a custom kernel that makes use of /etc/init.d? Do the /etc/init.d scripts get executed twice?
EDIT: in my phone this solution can't work. In the init.rc file the following lines are commented out
Code:
#service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# oneshot

Thanks, it's working but I have a question, how we can include this in a rom?
Please respond, I would appreciate that

That means I don't need run-parts if I've busybox installed?

1-Tell me please if I understand: I've done everything the post says Doomlord ([ADDON] [Xperia S] Generic startup /init.d scripts support for Stock ROM / Kernel) my question is this, after this I can already install scripts from cwm?
2-I try installing ''NullVoid'' tweaK by cmw and apparently well was installed. (I say apparently because i do not know if it is working)
3-Another thing about Tweaks: These have to be installed every time the phone restarts? This tweaks are compatible with the stock ics rom? (With the Doomloard Method ?

So the "install-recovery.sh" file is executed by system by default and does not need to be executed manually from terminal or what else?
And about the file...that is not a one-run file...right? It is executed at every phone boot...right??
Thank you.

Hello,
Is this package valid for deodexed rom?
I'm on stock .55, bootloader locked.
Currently the folder /system/etc/init.d doesn't exists
Thank you

it doesnt matter which ROM you are on... this should work on any ROM as long as the kernel ramdisk executes install-recovery.sh service...
dont worry it creates all required folders/files

Backtrack5 Port using CHROOT​
After I managed to get Ubuntu working on our Defy, I've finally completed a personal task of mine -> get BT5 on Defy.
Credits : anantshri, DooMLoRD for Backtrack5 image file.
This method doesn't modify/change your OS, rom or system. It can't brick or harm your current OS cause it runs like a virtual machine.​
Requirements :
Root and Busybox installed
At least 3.3GB free space on sdcard
Android Terminal Emulator
android-vnc-viewer
7-zip for PC
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Downloads :
Backtrack5 CWM flashable zip with scripts
bt.img (splitted into 10 7-zip files) :
bt.7z.001
bt.7z.002
bt.7z.003
bt.7z.004
bt.7z.005

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Guide (refer to video) :
1. Download all files from Downloads section (bt.img and cwm zip file) to a temporary folder
2. Create a folder on the root of your sdcard and call it bt
3. Extract bt.7z files and copy bt.img file to the folder previously created /sdcard/bt
4. Copy Backtrack5_cwm_script-signed.zip file to the root of your sdcard and flash it using recovery
5. After your phone boots into OS, go to /sdcard/bt using your file explorer and make sure that the list of files looks like this (5 files) :
bt
bt.img
installbt.sh
startbt
stopbt
6. Now we can launch BT5. Open Terminal app and enter the following commands (each line followed by enter key, toast notification can popup, accept it if not by default) :
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/bt
sh install.sh
startbt
bt
ui
7. Now press the home key, and open android-vnc-viewer, set it up like this :
Password : 12345678
Address : 127.0.0.1
Port : 5901
Color : 24-bit
8. Press connect and VNC will now start the BT5 GUI, I recommend you now that you press menu key -> input mode -> touchpad
Now your screen will act as a laptop touchpad.
9. If you want to close BT5 now, press menu key -> disconnect and return to Terminal, type in (the shell should be [email protected]:~# ) :
Code:
killui
exit
10. Now you're back to # shell and type in :
Code:
stopbt
exit
exit
11. You have successfully closed BT5, you can now close the Terminal application and I recommend you that you reboot your phone.
NOTICE : If you already installed BT5 and you just want to start it again, you don't have to run installbt.sh anymore, just type in :
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/bt
startbt
bt
ui
And you can go to vnc-viewer.

F.A.Q.
Q : Can we use Bluetooth mouse or keyboard
A : Yes if your mouse/keyboard is compatible with vnc-viewer
Q : Does this modify my system, OS or rom?
A : No it doesn't, it runs like a virtual machine, and it can't brick, harm or modify your OS.
Q : How do I crack WEP/WPA keys?
A : These questions I won't answer and I hope that anyone in this thread won't. If you don't know what is Backtrack and how to use it, don't install it. And it's against rules.

Thnx...

As far as I know no. I think it's related to the wifi-card driver which don't support it.

No we can't get monitor working, but there are many more options that work properly.

So, we can't use "monitor mode " then what's the purpose of this distro on our defy? Btw, I am a linux user, arch Linux specifically

If you only mean to use Backtrack 5 for WPA cracking then you don't need it on Defy.
Backtrack 5 is more powerful than Ubuntu Lucid, so for daily use it's still a good distro.
Soon I'll try to port Win 95

Bump!

Wow! I've been waiting this for a very long time. Tried a lot of images and scripts before but none of them works. Finally with your effort, Backtrack 5 is booting on my Defy. Thank you!
For info, it is not working on my nandroid CM7.2 Stable but works well on virtual CM10 Quarx. It is quite laggy (maybe due to virtual system). Any possible to fire it up on CM7.2 Stable?

I've found why it doesn't boot on CM7.
Epsylon3 implemented EXT4 module which supports this and it has some different folders that can execute /bin/bash with proper busybox.
From now on, ext4 is in ICS and JB. Still haven't found it in CM7.2

I don't understand what this is can you explain me please ?

Ext1, ext2, ext3 and ext4 are extended file systems and they're used in Linux kernels.
In Froyo we had ext2 and 3, but recently in our roms ext4 appeared. I've done my port on ext4 and it's tested to work on JB 4.1.1 GB kernel.
Obviously Froyo and GB kernels use different file systems, and this script is for GB kernel, when I flash the Froyo rom, I'll try to modify script to work on froyo kernels

+XMLs now editted
+ICS Tasker skin [hold home]
+ICS 5 bar network pngs now
+build.prop tweaks
Patch_00 Screens
My Goal:
I wish this to be a starter rom for all to own. So input is needed and support will be in form of patch [you can also patch and post] until all system are go. This forum has been best supported over my 3 devices, let learn and continue.

anyone using these?

Just getting ready to flash cwm and get started, just want to make sure I've got the order right... Flash 00.zip then the patch, both in cwm. Then if I want ics softkeys download the zip and use tb themer to mod framework, make zip and flash from cwm... Right? Maybe... I have yet to use TB's themer.

(I don't have too much time to script, I'm way behind in classes due to gb fun) then patch_00.zip
Clear caches
Reboot.
Then when boots legit restore your data nand and apks etc.

Root on 4.3 dev discussion

Edit 2:
Kernels with recoveries:
Unlocked bootloader required for any of these:

Philz by me: http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/XperiaZ1/Philz_4.3_kernel.img
These kernels have Sony RIC disabled at boot, so /system is always writable.
After flashing with fastboot flash boot filename.img, boot intro recovery and flash this:
SuperSU zip http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Edit: Discussion moot, root works fine as per below
Proof: Xperia Flip Settings on 4.3:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

As most of you know, rooting 4.3 isn't fully possible. While su and Superuser.apk can be installed through recovery, /system can't be mounted.
Code:
[email protected]:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
mount: Operation not permitted
A fix for that is to disable Sony's RIC kernel implementation.
Code:
[email protected]:/system # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable
[email protected]:/system # mount -o rw,remount /system
[email protected]:/system #
This is enabled on boot in init.sony-platform.rc:
Code:
# Enable Sony RIC
mount securityfs securityfs /sys/kernel/security nosuid nodev noexec
write /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable 1
After all this is done, /system is writable:
Code:
[email protected]:/system # echo 123 > test
[email protected]:/system # cat test
123

Hi !
I have Xposed install when i was on 4.2 but lost root since update to 4.3
Can you detail how you get root acces step by step ?
You lost me at RIC Kernel...
Thanks !

This is only useful to devs right now, someone needs to add a startup script that echos 0 into the sysfile above into some ROM.
Basically, you'll need an unlocked BL to install SuperSU, then issue the command above to make /system writable. A custom ROM can do that in some init script, since the file above is in ramdisk (which is part of kernel package). When that's done, installing Xposed will be as simple as tapping Install.

Please send me the kernel file after all those modifications. Thanks in advance.

You can just execute the commands from terminal emulator and then add a script to init.rc... I try now and if it works i give you a flashable .zip

Understand !
But i'm not a good dev !
In fact, if i want root, i can unlock my bootloader since camera was not broken any more, then install a recovery and flash Supersu...
Was right or did i make a mistake ?

See, I told you @DooMLoRD, it is the ric again... But now they moved it into the kernel
Will setting that sys control to 0 work on locked bootloader as well?

Well, I don't know if is simple as modding the stock one and adding recovery and root... On other devices it works like that...
I just wait for a boot.img to flash and I unlock the BL, since i have the TA backup...

That has been the issue
changing ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0 has caused kernel failure at boot...

When i try this on LB with adb shell
Code:
[email protected]:/system # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable
[email protected]:/system # mount -o rw,remount /system
[email protected]:/system #
It tells me permission denied...

Because you cannot write the kernel partition without Unlocked Bootloader (at least, I think)

The thing i ask, going a bit OT is: how did you manage to install 4.3 with root? Because I can try to unlock BL (i have a TA backup) and try it to confirm this thing.

I'd rather @lzyllp shares the image instead of me, I didn't ask if I could share it, and I asked for it over PM.
Anyway, here's an image I made with Philz recovery, DO NOT FLASH THIS, it won't boot.
However, using it with fastboot boot file.img works, I have no idea why.

EDIT: found. Is on /

DAddYE said:
Awesome! Thanks, where is init.sony-platform.rc? Is it safe to disable RIC on boot?

Kernel image, ramdisk to be exact.
After boot it's in /, but it can't be edited from there since it's loaded from the ramdisk.

Just some tips for if you haven't got CWM on your device and you want to deodex your device you can do the following (this is assuming you're on Windows and have adb set up as a variable, look it up if you don't know what I'm going on about).
1) Download the file from the OP and then extract the folders 'app' and 'framework' from the .zip file.
2) Rename the 'app' folder to 'done_app' and the 'framework' folder to 'done_framework'.
3) Copy both of the folders to the root of your SD Card, basically so when you want them on your phone it is /sdcard1/done_*/ (* being used as a wildcard).
4) Connect your device to the computer with USB debugging enabled.
5) Open up command prompt and then run the following code individually and line by line:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
cp /sdcard1/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard1/done_framework/* /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot
This will now have your device deodexed fully. You will notice that when you reboot your phone it will say android is upgrading, this is normal.
I've attached a screenshot to show, please ignore the first time I ran 'cp /sdcard1/done_app/* /system/app/' as I ran it without the final '/' so I had to run it again.

I think that in this line "cp / sdcard1/done_frame / * / system / framework / " should be framework not frame, when i change it's all ok

So it should be, thank you for correcting me! I will go and change it now.
If you look at the screenshot I posted too it even says /sdcard1/done_framework/* so I definitely did mess up the code.

Will this procedure resets the settings you've made, like PIN Codes, ringing tones, linked accounts etc.. ?
Thanks!
