[MOD]Droid Bionic Mod for init.d(For Stock)

This Mod will allow for init.d scripts to run, including the CWM recovery script from PowerBoost.
Currently integrated in DroidTh3ory's [R3]BLURR3D V1.7 PBX rom, but I updated my zip to work with any Rom including Stock Rooted .
Requirements:
You must be rooted and CWM through Rom manager installed.
PLEASE UNINSTALL bionic bootsrapper (it will not allow you to activate boot into CWR on every boot script)
Install Directions:
I updated the unthrottle script to run the mods in the right spot, I will update it further but it does work. Unzip onto you SDCARD not sdcard-ext
Next flash stock_initMod.zip through CWM recovery and then run all scripts that you want from powerboost including the CWM on every boot.
Last open menu.sh with script manager as root, and follow directions on screen. The selections will have DroidTh3ory's rom listed but it will work on any rom as long as you unzip this into /sdcard/.
Credit:
Thanks to navendrob, I edited his X2 version of the mod to get this one working.
DroidTh3ory for using it in his current roms which are really smooth.
Most init.d scripts will work by copying and pasting into /system/etc/init.d/ folder, but I can only get the CWR reboot tweak to work by using the script from unthrottle something due to permissions I think.

Ccan you please explain whathecript does,in layman's terms.
Thanks

I think voltage or overclocking using android terminal but I could be wrong.

Well it may not be laymans term, but it adds a couple of files that motorola left out. Probably on purpose. One file calls busybox if you have it installed in the default location, and the other allows the preinstall script to run. The reason Cwm recovery would not boot up everytime is because the file /data/.recovery_mode is automatically created and deleted upon booting via bootstrap. If you flash this you will be able to run the init.d script for cwm recovery which will add the .recovery file back after rebooting. Its hard to explain but just flash it and run the powerboost script and you will see the difference even on the other init.d mods.

after I flash this how do I turn on the "reboot to CWM" on every recovery?
Never mind I figured it out and am now set to boot into CWM.

So, OP, does this make all the mods run? Does it correct the unthrottle folder as well? If so, I'm in...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

Are the updated scripts in the unthrottled folder or a new location because I ran the scripts again from the unthrottled folder and most scripts/mods don't seem to be working.

FYI... Everything has now been streamlined in a special version of Powerboost being fully incorporated into 1.6. Nothing is required of the user other than selecting your mod.

I flashed this and installed the script cwm on every boot, it worked on a couple power off/on. I then had it go into battery mode on accident while powering off and on and leaving it plugged into power and it wont boot into cwm anymore. Going to try and flash and install again.
Doh just read theories post, guess it doesn't matter now....

didn't get the error from powerboost after I flashed this, but still not booting CWM we will get there eventually
EDIT: I actually had to copy the unthrottle folder into the sdcard/ directory because that's where powerboost was looking for it...before that, I would just get an error that the files didn't exist

I thought that was already understood. Im glad to hear droidth3ory got it figured out. My way works just as well im sure. I use a reboot method i.e. quickboot or similar and do not turn power on off manually so i did not test that way.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. My method works as well incase something goes awry. I did notice a usb connection to pc lag that I only experienced in1.5. Has anyone else experienced this or maybe my device is getting slower lol. This started on a fresh install of 1.5 without even using powerboost by the way.

Stock Bionic Rom?
Will this work on stock bionic rom? I have already run an enable init.d script and it created the init.d folder and settings are sticking if I do a "Hot Reboot" but not if I do a full reboot. This issue has been driving me crazy, since I had it working on the DX but not now.
If this will work on stock, I would be happier than a dog with 2 peters!

is this supposed to dowload as attachment.php?? or is my computer bugging right now?? lol

[Q] Possibly Bricked Stock ROM??

Hey all,
Got sort of an odd problem. I recently upgraded my Droid 4 with the Jelly Bean OTA update, and it was running great. But today, I ran across 1% Battery Mod for JB users (located at the link below), and thought I'd try it. But, I think I misread it. Looks like it's for a "Leaked" OTA, which I'm guessing is different from the official one...whoops
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132420
Stupid me, I flashed it over the stock ROM using Safestrap 3.11, and got a boot animation loop (constant red Droid Eye - no boot). Well, I did make a backup of the stock ROM before I flashed it, and figured I could just restore it. But, when I did, it still wouldn't boot. Just a blank black screen...not good
I'm guessing Safestrap isn't meant to be used like that. But anyway, I actually tried restoring the same backup that I made of the Stock ROM to a ROM Slot, and wouldn't you know it, it worked. It booted up fine and I can use it. I'm glad I'm not screwed in that regard, but anyway I was wondering if there's a way I can fix the Stock ROM slot. I'm not too terribly worried since I can use the ROM slot that I created, but just wanted to know.
Am I gonna have to wait for the fastboot files to come out? Thanks in advance.

xml AP fastboot file has been found see http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php
if you just want to restore your stock rom slot use my nandroid

Yeah, I was pretty sure of that too. Thanks for the clarification.
Wow, I didn't know that the jb xml was found already, either. I guess I didn't look hard enough. Just for future reference, if I needed to flash it, how would I go about doing it? Would I need to use RSD Lite? And is it just self explainatory? I've used the ICS Utility once, and I'm assuming that RSD Lite is similar. Thanks again guys.

there is a jb utility out now

To root or not to root!

Ok so i just go the galaxy gear i have already been doing alot of research on the watch. I have been debating if i should root it or not cause NULL rom looks really good for what i want to do with it..
Can some one help me find a way to back up the gear if i decided down the road to go completely back to stock?
has any one had any problems running NULL?
would you recommend doing it?
And where is the best guide to follow?

Very easy, it does require you to root the device. Once rooted, download TWRP for Galaxy Gear and flash it using ODIN. There, you can create a backup of your rooted stock firmware.
Another thing you can do is download the official firmware from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463743), and then flash that using ODIN, that will return you to 100% stock without root.
Good luck, I'm having tons of fun modifying my Gear, been able to increase the volume on it during calls.

I'm still trying to decide myself. I don't wanna lose any of the watch functions though if I flash null
Update : I think I will try null when I get home. Seems there's some work around for missing function like double tap for setting. Can't wait.

I might create a thread later on today if my account allows me to. It's the same concept as the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 of modifying the Default_gain.config file in the root files. Found in "/system/etc/" folder.

I got root access but stopped there....all my devices bar my note 2(for G Gear reasons) are rooted with custom ROMs but I'm not sure if I should install Null or leave as is...I guess it is a question of opinions but is it worth doing? What are the top things you can now do that were not possible before, which are also worth doing/practical on a wearable? Thanks for any responses....I need reasons to go the next step!!!

I didn't like the rom personally. I couldn't use the Internet because my phone don't have bluetooth Internet or whatever that option is. The dial pad for Nova is all bunched together making the call button untouchable. So for me it's pretty much useless

I think the rom is like something you'd use on a phone. Gives you a notification bar. Internet (if have a way to use it) playstore. Both Nova and touchwiz launchers.

I was on the fence about rooting at first, but I jumped and flashed null. Let me tell you I am so glad I did. Battery life and more options is great! And knowing it is super easy to go back to stock is awesome. Although I don't see a reason to. Null with free fall theme is the way to go.

On 4.3, scared to do anything

Ok, got a note 3 with 4.3 again.
No lies, not fraud, no nothing except a faulty power port and honesty and I ended up with a 4.3 note 3 again
Pant, pant..WHAT DO I DO, I know Kingo root. Titanium backup first. The opporturnity to use my microsd card again! I am actually excited!
And after Kingo, how do I not AT&T upgrade?
I am hearing it forces you after a little while, what do I do? I really want to keep my root!
I am so sorry to my Note Brethren with KK without any way to use THEIR phones. My sympathies are sincere!
Any advice appreciated!

Ok, so if I am at 4.3, and want to keep my root, is there a path to kk that still has root? I would prefer the non ss route. BTW, the main thing that makes me root is I want to use my Microsd card and when unrooted backup and other apps seem unable to access it properly.

SS is the only way to go. There are no downsides to using SS to use a custom ROM.

Seems like kk isn't worth the effort, you can't access the Microsd, the wifi Hotspot is locked off unless you pay at&t and all issues have been fixed in 4.3, anything gained?

Got back root on 4.3, Sweet Archemedes this feels good, like my phone again!
Stock slot, would that be the one that is the original ROM?
Dynamic Kat looks intreguing.But it says I have to have KK first. Can I get DK working from JB rooted?

Indeed it is.
Use this guide. (replace the Urdroid KK ROM that he says to download with DynamicKat)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
Then head over to our development section and find the SS thread.
You will need both 3.71 and 3.72
3.71 will get you to KK with the guide. Once there, you will need to reinstall it and use it to uninstall the recovery.
Then uninstall the app.
After that, install 3.72 and use it to install your new recovery. That way you don't have to use odin every time you want to flash a mod or new kk rom

1. Don't hijack threads
2. Only TW based ROMs can be flashed.
3. Go read the SS development thread.
You need to make sure you are on 3.71 when trying to flash a 4.3 ROM and 3.72 to use KK.

first of all the roms from cyanogen mod is provided as installable zip
not a odin package
if you are on kitkat thats not a matter.
then you can use philz touch or twrp to make a full wipe
and install the cm9 downloaded package

Sorry for my misleading. By using oding I was just referring to the fact of going back to gingerbread original ROM and also doing a /512 partition.
I need to know of someone has done it successfuly. My home button is not working any more so it is not easy to get into download mod if I brick the i9000.

I've been back and fourth between 4.4 4.3 4.2 etc.. I do full wipes including system and flash an official cm package like cm9 reboot recovery flash cm again to be sure.
