Default [ROM] 2.3.1 boot.img with ro.secure=0 and ext4 hack. adb remount with CM7 boot.img

this is the 2.3.1 kernel off my nexus s modded with ro.secure=0. adb remount works again! apparently people really like this option? lots of complaints it didnt work since upgrading to 2.3.1.

edit: added @supercurio's ext4 file system hack. all credits to him for providing the how-to.
edit2: added the boot.img from CM7 with @supercurio's ext4 file system hack.

test:
Code:
fastboot boot roext4.img
install:
Code:
fastboot flash boot roext4.img

Thank you sir, trying this now.

Yes I love my adb remount, makes things a ton easier for upgrading the market manually with adb push for example.

Any chance you can make a version that works on CM7? I just tried this and wifi doesn't work w/ CM7.

I just test my bluetooth w/ the CM7 version. It doesn't work as well. I guess the ext4 hack breaks it in general. I went back to my original boot.img, and bluetooth works again.
