[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 ]

1. stock rooted ROM
2. windows PC with adb drivers installed

[ how to install ]

1. download the provided zip package
2. save it on c:\
3. extract the contents of the package
4. connect phone with usb debugging active to PC via ADB
5. execute "runme.bat"
6. 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:

1. corrected /system/bin/sysint file
2. run-parts binary in /system/xbin/run-parts (which is basically busybox 1.19.3 binary)
3. correct /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file (this file gets executed by default on stock kernel too!)
4. 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


[ donations/device fund ]

let me know how it goes!




ENJOY!

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:

#!/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

@files\adb shell "su -c 'busybox mount -t ext4 -o rw,remount /system /system'"

to

@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

#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.
