When I used to open the app, It force closed.
(Process com .andoguide.universal.init.d) has stopped unexpectedly.

I might be digressing from the Op so I apologize in advance.

I used this method to provide init.d on a TV Stick. I had put the 99touch script in the init.d folder just to test. But I realized, whenever there is a script to be executed in the init.d folder, my device (Android version 4.0.4) will show the standard message

"Android is upgrading" with a spinning circle.

What I wish to know is, how'd I get rid of this message ?

Hmm...it depends on what your init.d script is doing...I am sure the message won't show if there are no scripts at all in the init.d folder...

Yes I know. My script is a test script to write a dummy message to another file. I do want to have one or two scripts in there. Is there a way to hide that message from my users ?

Yes I know if I used Script manager, it will execute these scripts at boot but not show this message.

That dialog box shows that it is running something...do you have anything in /etc/install-recovery.sh at the very first place? Script manager runs right after the phone completed boot, which is why you won't get that...

Yes I have something at the top of install-recovery.sh. Its a check to see if a new recovery was installed or new file flashed. Its just a check.

I have attached the Install-Recovery.sh as it exists today. I had to rename it before XDA would allow me to upload it.

init.d

i have tried a few different things to get init.d support and all have failed so far. i installed busybox normal install and rebooted.i tried your init .d app and term.init.sh files. the apps says success but no /data/test.log. i tried term-init and it said i do have run-parts and it says i already had support and i didn't need this mod. so i delete the files it tells me to (listed below) and try term init again and it creates the files and tells me to reboot twice but all i get is a black screen now and have to battery pull to restart into another black screen. i have an htc OG EVO 4G running 4.2.2 JB Mighty Unicorns 2.0 ROM with smelkus 4.3 recovery

/system/bin/sysint
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh (didnt have)

    ** NOT Android 4.3 compatible!!! Term-init is recommended for now!!!

    **Note...this is only for those who do not have init.d support...if you are using custom kernels (cyanogen mod original kernel etc.) that already supports init.d, you shouldn't run this...:)...but if you accidentally ran this, it is ok...won't mess up anything...:D

    init.d support through an app!!!​


    What is init.d:

    But how? :confused:
    Concept:
    I have recently learnt some linux scripting and was searching for a method to enable init.d scripts support for my phone which has a stock kernel. Inspired by this thread by iridaki, I finally managed to get init.d working in my phone!!! :D However, I thought of the other users who still do not have a proper custom recovery...how are they gonna flash zip packages? And if it has to be done manually, it requires a lot of typing, changing file permissions etc....a very tedious process...

    Therefore, I've decided to come up with a script to automate this process!!! *Drum rolls*...lol

    BUT now, with the aid of Androguide.fr (creator of Pimp My ROM), we managed to integrate the script into an app to save the hassle of typing commands in terminal emulator! With just a button click, the commands will be carried out! With just a button click, the app will verify whether is there init.d support or not! :D


    Do I have init.d support?:
    Well, here is a way to test:
    1. Download the file from here: View attachment 1612958
    2. Extract the file, you will get a file named 00test. DO NOT flash!
    3. Paste it into /etc/init.d. If there is no init.d folder, most probably you DO NOT have init.d support. However, if you still wanna try, just create the folder named "init.d"
    4. Change the permissions of the init.d folder and 00test into rwxrwxrwx.
    5. Reboot.
    6. If you see a file named Test.log in /data, you have init.d support. If not, you will have to run Uni-init, Term-init or Zip-init. ;)


    Features:
    - Utilises install-recovery.sh (if your kernel supports that, but of course, but most do...:)) to enable init.d scripts (busybox run-parts required)
    - Will add lines in install-recovery.sh if it already exists (will not replace install-recovery.sh because certain apps such as Link2SD requires that to work), creates it if it doesn't
    - Creates the init.d folder with correct permissions
    - Adds 2 init.d scripts: one for testing (shows time of execution), another to ensure that the scripts in init.d folder always have the correct permissions
    - Adds sysinit in /system/bin, will add the required lines if it already exists
    - Deletes duplicate files and lines to ensure the least of errors



    Requirements:
    - a rooted phone of course...:p

    - busybox with required applets (especially run-parts), if not sure what is this, just install this by Stericson: Link and please reboot after installing before running this script...:)...use "normal install" method, don't use "smart install"...


    Instructions:
    1. Download the apk.
    2. Install the apk like any normal app.
    3. Launch the app.
    4. The rest are pretty self-explanatory...;)
    5. You can uninstall the app after that...

    Screenshots:

    **To check whether init.d is really working or not, reboot your phone and navigate to /data...you should find a Test.log in there...If it is present, congrats, you have a WORKING init.d support! :)

    **UPDATE: v3 is out now! Android 4.3 compatible!

    **Term-init is also used in Droid Manager!!!**

    **Featured in the XDA News Portal: Init.d Support for Any Rooted Phone (Thanks to the_scotsman!)


    Hi guys...as stated in the title above, I have created a script to be ran in terminal emulator so that it will enable the support of init.d scripts!!! :D

    **Note...this is only for those who do not have init.d support...if you are using custom kernels (cyanogen mod original kernel etc.) that already supports init.d, you shouldn't run this...:)...but if you accidentally ran this, it is ok...won't mess up anything...:D

    - Utilises install-recovery.sh (if your kernel supports that, but of course, but most do...:)) to enable init.d scripts (busybox run-parts required)

    - If Superuser is using install-recovery.sh, will use install-recovery-2.sh instead [v3]
    - Creates the init.d folder with correct permissions
    - Adds 2 init.d scripts: one for testing (shows time of execution [v2]), another to ensure that the scripts in init.d folder always have the correct permissions
    - Adds sysinit in /system/bin, will add the required lines if it already exists. This is for utilising a similar method to enabling init.d in AOSP ROMs

    - terminal emulator such as this: Link



    Instructions:
    1. Download the file.
    2. Place it in the root of your sdcard directory.
    3. Launch terminal emulator.
    4. Type: su
    5. Grant SuperUser access if prompted
    6. Type: sh /sdcard/term-init.sh
    7. The script will run and follow the instructions! :D As simple as that...

    Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting:
    **CWM might warn something about disable recovery flash when using this mod, it is just a false positive, please DO NOT select yes or else it won't work anymore**

    If you have already applied the script but there is no /data/Test.log, please refer the steps below:
    1. Check whether have you installed busybox properly, especially run-parts. REBOOT after installing, then only apply this script.
    2. If you are using the busybox installer by Stericson, please use "normal installation method", NOT "smart installation method".
    3. Check whether are these files present with the correct permissions (please change if the permissions are wrong):
    - /system/bin/sysint (rwxr-xr-x) [owner: root (0), group: shell (2000)]
    - /system/etc/init.d (rwxrwxrwx) [owner: root (0), group: root (0)]
    - /system/etc/init.d/00test (rwxrwxrwx) [owner: root (0), group: root (0)]
    -/system/etc/init.d/08setperm (rwxrwxrwx) [owner: root (0), group: root (0)]
    - /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (rwxr-xr-x) [owner: root (0), group: root (0)]
    - /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh (rwxr-xr-x) [owner: root (0), group: root (0)] (may or may not be present)
    4. Check whether you have run-parts installed. Go to /system/xbin, you should be able to find a fine named "run-parts"
    5. Check whether you have these lines in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (if not, please add them in manually (using Root Explorer or keep the EOL in Unix format...Google about it), remember to leave an EMPTY line at the end of the file)
    Code: 
     # init.d support
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
    6. If all the above are still not helping, please download this: run-parts.zip and extract it (DO NOT flash it). Place the file named "run-parts" in /system/xbin. Change permissions to rwxrwxrwx, owner to root (o) and group to shell (2000). Reboot and check /data again.
    7. Still fails? Check your /init.rc for any lines containing "install-recovery"...if there are none, this method won't work...so use the Script Manager method.
    8. Use this as a last resort: Download Script Manager from Play Store: Link. Then navigate to /etc/install-recovery.sh, select it and run as root and at boot (select the skull and gear icon).
    9. If all the above are not working, and the "install-recovery" line is present, then please paste the contents of your /etc/install-recovery.sh and /etc/install-recovery-2.sh if present somewhere (like http://pastebin.com and after applying the mod of course) here for me to debug. Take a screenshot of the output after running Term-init and post here, along with your ROM version, android version and name of device.

    @Ryuinferno Hey bro!
    While working on Pimp my Rom's bew beta, I came up with a way to grant init.d support to any device, which happens all on the app side, no need for install-recovery.sh (or any other file) modifications.

    The concept is very simple but it's what makes it powerful and truly universal :

    Using Android's BroadcastReceivers mechanism, the app detects whenever the device is rebooted, and when it does, after the boot is completed, it will execute all the scripts inside /system/etc/init.d automatically.
    I also refined the kernel init.d support testing, it now requires a reboot but will really detect if the user's kernel has init.d support by creating a simple init.d script that creates a file on the sdcard, and after the reboot, the app will check if the file has indeed been generated, if it does, the kernel has init.d support so the app is useless, otherwise, it doesn't.

    Finally, I added options to manage the init.d scripts (edit/delete/run), and will probably soon add an option to select your "init.d" folder (i.e make it so that /sdcard/newinitd is considered as /system/etc/init.d and the app will execute all the scripts in it instead of in the real init.d folder).

    The standalone app is fully open-source, so if you want to fork it/add it here/modify it to your needs, go ahead, it's yours : http://github.com/Androguide/Universal-init.d
    I attached a signed apk to this post.

    Here are a few screenshots :

    framed-initd2.jpg
    framed_initd3.jpg
    framed-initd4.jpg
    framed-initd5.jpg
    framed-initd6.jpg


    Also, I wanted to ask you some help ;
    I could definitely use your bash knowledge for a new project I started, which allows to flash zips without using a recovery, if you got time, please go take a look and tell me if you see any mistake or better bash translations of updater-script commands. (thread here)
