Nope, you need to unpack the boot.img and edit the init.rc file, so that the scripts in the init.d folder will run during system startup.

Code:

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d disabled oneshot

Then, you need to re-pack the boot.img

Thank you for the info

Please help. Thanks

Hi Mekrel,

Its looking like a great Rom,

My question is this, can you do a rom without "flash, facebook, friend stream, twitter, peep, quickoffice, stocks, etc etc" built in, but possibly available as apk files.

I know that they are in the \system folder but that makes them uninstallable. I have tried modding the update.zip files myself but get the problem that the file is not recognised when in recovery mode. Havent found the non verified signature option on zips.

Dont know if its something you have thought of but, could we give you a "wish list" of apps that we would like "Removed" or "added"

I dont understand using the scripts as i'm a win.6.5 user rather than Android. Which is why Im unsure about rooting the phone at present.

Any help greatly appreciated. And keep up the Great Work..

Hi mate,

I'm a little bit confused by your post, mainly the bit in bold - you have to have a rooted phone to flash any custom ROM.

If you root your phone, removing any applications you don't want is a breeze as long as you have adb setup on your computer.

There's no Twitter, Peep, stocks applications in the ROM, I wouldn't recommend removing FriendStream as your phone will constantly sync loop without it being installed.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Its the adb bit that im trying to avoid as I dont get the way it works and dont want to mess about with scripts as knowing my luck I will end up with a brick. or doing as you quoted "I wouldn't recommend removing FriendStream as your phone will constantly sync loop without it being installed." Which also shows why im trying to get a "Sorted" rom before I **** it up. (the phone) not the rom.

In my signature you will see that my htc Blackstone is rooted and am happy trying various roms but mainly stick with Grzegorz10 as I like his work. Also the fact that you can use various editors and delete "stuff" on the phone as well as change the register without using scripts.

So anyway thats what im trying to accomplish get rid of anything that can be added as an apk and free up some space. I know it needs rooting but wanted to get the right rom sorted first.

I have never used quickoffice or any of the other apps in my original post apart from facebook and due to the way its installed I have two versions according to the settings/applications/manage/all.. I have "facebook" and "facebook for htc" also a similar problem with adobe flash old version taking 10.96mb not a lot if it could be moved or deleted but a big chunk when you cannot.

At present with copilot 8 and 3 other apps which I use but cannot move to sd card I have 13.6Mb free, the sd card is 16Gb with 12Gb free.

So that sums it up, Rooted rom and phone, free from all un-wanted bloatware. And more than 15mb of free space. lol

Facebook for HTC Sense is what keeps your contact photo's, latest status updates and albums up to date in your phone book.

It's also used by FriendStream, as FriendStream will not include data from the normal Android Facebook application from the Market. This is also the same reason why HTC include a Twitter client "Peep", as it reports into FriendStream.

Facebook will only sync their contact photo's, so that's the difference between the two.

Once you've rooted, you can utilise A2SD+ and the small internal memory of the Desire no longer becomes an issue.

In regards to breaking things with ADB, you'll be fine if you're only removing applications. It's a little bit like using Windows Command Prompt delete command:

Del /F /Q C:\somefile.txt

only with adb, the command is slightly different:

rm /system/app/Facebook.apk

As I said, when I get time, I'll release the stock ROM untouched and also supply an easy to use interface that will remove applications that the user wishes, or add modifications they wish.

Hi Mekrel,

thats why I liked the look of your rom, also from the quick replys you have given to other posters.

Some other forums make you think that if you ask a question then your a F*****g retard or worse.

Cheers again and looking forward to the new release.

It's not a stupid question. According to the language menu it supports:

English
English Irish
French
Italian
Spanish

It doesn't contain a hboot upgrade.

You can use German via More Locale2 from the Market, failing that I can try and add German support. I'm surprised a WWE ROM doesn't list German.

Does it also have the DUTCH language on it?

dkawa · Dec 7, 2010

Do you have the install instructions for this ROM?

EddyOS · Dec 7, 2010

Instructions for what?? If you don't know how to flash a ROM then you should walk away from rooting until you do...

how to use tun.ko

andQlimax said:
You are great. It worked..Now I can try to make work my vpn
EDIT: Vpn WORKED!!!

Thank you very much

Hi, can you please help me with the installing tun.ko? How to use the zip file? I cant flash it via recovery (app is not signed; when I turn verification off - no install script). I need openVPN to connect to my work network a and I like this ROM

. Many thanks.

EDIT:

I tried to copy the tun.ko into the ROM (system/lib/modules) and flash it. tun.ko is now in the system/lib/modules, but thats all, I tried to use openVPN settings from market but it doesnt work. I think I need openVPN binaries. I am really noob in this. Can you someone help me with the installation of openVPN in this ROM. Step by step guide will be great

. The phone is Security-ON.

leoking3 · Dec 8, 2010

I cannot install this. Phone is rooted , clockwork installed , but when I boot in recovery it gives me some error like : "CACHE : cannot mount" and something else like that. Do you have any idea why this could happen?

I don't use any VPN's so wouldn't know, but you might need to load the tun.ko module if openVPN settings doesn't try to do it for you.

Code:

adb shell insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

Looks like it's an issue with your recovery not being able to mount the cache partition. I personally use the latest AmonRA recovery that I flashed via fastboot, but you can flash it via UnrEVOked.

General
Just an update - I'm so close to have completed part of the batch script that can remove applications dynamically but I've ran into some issues (limitations of batch).

I might go pick up a book about Java and learn something new and make my first Java project a ROM configuration program. Downside is that will take a little while longer, even though I do pick up things pretty quickly.

I managed to brick my phone. It does not start anymore. I had the same stock ROM, phone properly unrevoked rooted. Flashed the zip file with AmonRa recovery. What could be wrong?

How do you mean bricked? Can you get into fast boot or recovery?

Oh yes that I can. I mean it doesnt get past the android green logo, like trying to boot on and on... Does it contain the radio also? I am thinking of everything but cant find a reason. I mean , it worked for everyone and it seems like a great rom.

Mekrel · Dec 9, 2010

Okay, means you're not bricked then so that's good.

Nope, the radio is separate.

Can you run:

Code:

adb logcat >> c:/errorlog.txt

When you're stuck at the log screen to see what's going on?

You'll probably need to run command prompt as administrator so it can save to the C drive.

If you can, attach the .txt file to your post.

Did you wipe?

Well I am at work right now and cannot do anything on this laptop. I am not even sure where to run that command. I just put the rom on the SD card, after making the ETX3 partition and flashed it with Amonra recovery. So do I flash both the Update and the Radio? Can you imagine what I could have done wrong? I wiped, yes.
This is really frustrating.
