[MOD] Enable init.d scripts support on stock kernel

Hello!
This is a small mod, inspired by non other than our great DoomLord (so if it helped you, thank him/donate to him/worship him ) and his thread in the X10 section.
I am trying a lot of things on my phone, so I often switch back and forth from stock kernel to DoomKernel.
However, I use lots of init.d scripts (my favorite one being SuperCharger)
and I just don't want to lose this feature when I'm on stock.
So, without further ado, here are the steps that are needed to make init.d scripts run automatically at boot on stock kernel.
Requirements:
1. Stock Kernel
2. Root
3. Busybox
4. CMW Recovery for Stock Kernel by nAa.
5. Root Explorer or any other similar app.
Instructions:
1. Download the attached zip and place it in a folder in your SD card.
2. With Root Explorer, go to /system/etc. Press the Mount RW button on top right corner.
a. If the file install-recovery.sh is not there, then press Menu and create a New File.
Name it install-recovery.sh and then long-press on it and select Open in Text Editor.
Paste this text in it:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# init.d support
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
Save it and delete any .bak file that Root Explorer might have created. Set the permissions as in the attached screenshot.
OR
b. If the file install-recovery.sh is already there, long-press on it and select Open in Text Editor. Paste this text in the end:
Code:
# init.d support
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
In both scenarios, don't forget to leave one empty line at the end of install-recovery.sh file. ***
3. Reboot into Recovery and flash the init.d-autorunner-stock.zip.
4. Reboot your phone and with Root Explorer go to /data/local/tmp.
There should be a txt file there named "init.d_log_test.txt" and once you open it, you should see the word "done".
5. Now you can use your favorite init.d scripts on stock kernel!
If you want to check if the scripts you want to use actually work, please refer to one of my older threads about how to test them.
*** I am not including an install-recovery.sh because this is the file that Link2SD depends on, so it's better if you modify it yourself, rather than use mine.
Let me know if it worked for you!

This is a setup in order for scripts placed in /system/etc/init.d to be executed automatically at boot. Such scripts can do lots of things, like RAM optimisation, CPU scaling, mount options, etc etc etc.

Can the script be added to hw_config.sh? Will it be execute on boot? Inteks' swap2cache script can be added to hw_config.sh too.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. But probably yes.

Great post mate, thanks. (already give you thanks button)

Seeing if this works on ray
I get this file in the init.d folder after.flashing the file
#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
Not in data/ local
I have ran supercharger script and files are appearing in inlit.d folder think it's working
Edit : tested it as per the thread further up it would seem its all working!
Sweet
Hope it is ok I have shared this on the Ray thread? (I have linked back to your thread)

Hi iridaki thanks for your little mod here! I just want to give a hint of what might been a little issue but might make your whole mod is not running. You do mention about changing permission on install-recovery.sh, but you gave it as a picture. The Problem is XDA on web these days is not arranging the image as inline, but as an attachment. So i and chiefy009 did the same mistake, not changing the permission because it is just a one line and not clear enough. Please add additional step like:
3. Make sure install-recovery.sh have permissions of rwxr-xr-x

Overclock Error?

hi al i tried to overclock my w8 tonight and when i downloaded the oc file from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020313
and paste it to system/lib/modules it says copy error file not found (read only system) what is this? any solution ?

you use root explorer? up you see a small rectangle button, with a r/o or r/w, click on it and try again.
sorry my bad english

ohoh okay ! downloaded root explorer now is fine ...wait i try if i can finish it!

i dont get what does this mean
-edit hw_config, add line insmod /system/lib/modules before battery fix command

lol
go to system/etc, find the file hw_config.sh, click on it until a box appears, click on open with text editor and put theline you said..next save and reboot or upload your hw_config file that i make for you lol..you use stock kernel right?

ya stock ..i use rename ...am i wrong?

rename?? rename what?? just make what i said in post above if you see a line: "#battery fix bla bla bla" put above this line

wait choose which option? view / execute ?

theres a rename option ..i used the rename just now and nothing happened

just put the file in system/lib/modules, reboot and use an app called setcpu or no-frills cpu to oveclock the device.the line you said already exists in hwconfig file if you use gingerDx

ARRR i still cant!! i click edit using text editor at the front i typed in
insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8 overclock
rebooted
nothing happened! =(

look at my post above i edit

ohh...YEAAA DONE!! whats the point of
nsmod /system/lib/modules for?

Make On Screen Buttons smaller

Hi,
I got here a rooted Xperia Z, and I asked myself it its possible to easily make the navigation bar (back,home,window manager) smaller than original.
Just to save some screen
I read something like you have to modify apk´s and change system files, can anyone maybe explain it in detail?
Or maybe there is already an app for it, which can change the size on the fly?
Thank you!

I cant give you a tutorial since I dont have the phone yet,but you should look into /System/build.prop, usually that is where the dpi is changed so you should look into code that has dpi or navbar in it. Other than that,you could look into Framework.jar but I used to soft brick my phone when I fiddled with stuff I don't understand so be careful. Anyway,you'll need root and I think build.prop gets rebuilt to default every time you reboot so you need some kind of mod to keep it changed. In a month or so we are gonna have Paranoid android ported so you will be able to change everything from the settings

On my Xperia T JB, you must change some files in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, you must also make some changes to /system/app/SystemUI.apk
I'm no expert (yet) so I can't help much after that..

Yeah u can change the size!
you need to use apktool to edit framework-res.apk! Just tell me, do u know how to use apktool?
If yes then I will post the full tutorial step by step!
If No then I will post a few links along with the tut!
Btw u just need to edit framework-res.apk! No systemUI editing is required!
As for the dpi - if u change the dpi in the build.prop then its changed for the whole system, not only for the navigation bar! I had tried it once! My neo v 's default dpi is 240 and I decreased it to 140 - result- xperia home went crazy! Lolz!

Hi Neo and thanks for your reply!
I am quite new to Android, so I have no experience into apktool.
Looking forward for your tutorial!

How TO Get Smaller Soft Keys
Bro You can call me DJ!
Neo V is the name of my device !! Sony Xperia Neo V!
By the way tell me if it works for you i will post it in the XZ dev section too for others!
Already did !- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38503045
Let's Begin:
First of all make a backup of your rom by going into the recovery ! Its good to have one incase something goes wrong!
To DO on your XZ-
1) Install root explorer
2) Navigate to system/framework/
3) Copy 'framework-res.apk' and 'SemcGenericUxpRes.apk' from that location to your SDcard.
4) Now connect your XZ to your PC.
To DO on your PC-
1) Install apktool v3 [you can find it easily on google! ]
2) After you are done with installing apktool open a cmd window in that location [ you can do that by right clicking in that window while keeping the shift key pressed, then click on the open command window here option from the drop down menu which appers].
3) Copy framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk from your SDcard to your PC to the location where your apktool files are present.
4) Now in the cmd window which you opened earlier you need to type some commands -
apktool if framework-res.apk
now press 'enter key'
then
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
press enter
The above 2 lines have installed the framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk to your system which the apktool will later use as resources to decompile the framework-res.apk
now we need to decompile the framework-res.apk, for this type
apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
it will perform a series of functions just wait for it till its finished!
when its done you will see that there is a new folder 'framework-res' in the window[location] where you have installed the apktool!
navigate to framework-res/res/values/
open dimens.xml using noteped++[yeah forgot to say that you need to install this too! ]
look for the lines 'navigationbar height' and navigationbar width'
the default size would be 48! just reduce it to what ever you want! 28 is recommended by me ! height = 28 and width= 24
Save the changes.
Now switch to the cmd window again
We are going to re-compile the framework-res.apk-
type-
apktool b framework-res framework-res-new.apk
when its done then you will have the new framework-res-new.apk with smaller softkeys!
5) Now copy it to your SDcard
6) Disconnect your XZ
7) Open root explorer in your XZ.
8) Copy the 'framework-res-new.apk' to your system/
9) Long press it and click on permissions
10) set it to rw-r--r--[1st row + + - ; 2nd row + - - ; 3rd row + - -][+ means ticked and - means unticked]
11) once done , rename the 'framework-res-new.apk' to 'framework-res.apk'.
12) Copy it to system/framework/
13) Press Yes when it asks to replace the original.
14) Then reboot your XZ [it might force reboot itself].
15) Done! now you have smaller softkeys!
