That is what I was thinking ... We would be back at square one.

For learning purposes I will go in there and figure out what they change to get recovery on the kernel ... If I can add just that to the ramdisk then it shouldn't break WiFi.

Wow, sound like a pain :sly:
Thanks for the info ... I'll see how far I can get ... It's going to be hard considering I'm still getting used to using Linux.

I've always wanted to try Linux, but I've got a Dell Dimension E510 with an integrated sound card that uses special software to enable surround sound. Gotta have my surround for Netflix, ya know!

Well, yeah. If the /system directory is wiped you essentially wipe the recovery.img that the app installs, whereas the recovery would still be available (when inside the kernel) provided the boot partition is still there

Yeah, I made that connection on post 7.

But yeah, that is an extremely good reason to out recovery in the kernel.

I'll try, but no promises!

If anyone is still following, I haven't even used my personal computer since the last post.

So the kernel with recovery probably won't happen at all.

Sorry guys!
