[GUIDE] introduction to edify updater script (installer zip)

[Miche1asso]

Yeah, but it doesn't feel quite right talking about PX or another guy kernel in Merruk's thread. But I've found your kernel thread, I'll ask there!! I see you don't mind..

Is it safe to format and mount system data and cache as ext4?

To be forgotten is worse than death.

Cant guarantee 100% working.. Basically ur kernel should support ext4

In worst case scenario, Your phone will not recognize it. I have never played with it so I dont know.

I doubt about this, but when I try to format ext4 when using merruk I can't install other kernel :sly: it always invalid argument so need flash the rom via odin or install other rom I think

This is a great help! I'm trying to find the syntax to display the files being installed one at a time on the same line like it does in cwm. Can anyone help me with this? I already have my updater script working but I just want to tweak it. Since I will be sharing this update I would like for the people downloading it to know exactly what is being installed.

Any idea on how can I just check if a file exist and take actions accordingly?

If I use a file_getprop and the file does not exist, it exits with an error.

 

[kurotsugi]

you can't do it with getprop but it can be done easily by test scheme in a shell script

if [ -e /path/to/file ] <act one>
else <act2>
fi

sorry for late replying, I'm not monitoring this thread.

Syntax for comments/comment/commenting: #

*file beginning*
# Some comment, conforming to the UNIX syntax
ui_print("Some print");
# Some other comment
ui_print("Some other print");
# Multiline comments are
# not supported, but are emulated this way
// Some comment, conforming to the C syntax --> FAILs script
/* Some multiline comment, conforming to the C syntax --> FAILs script
*/
/*
* FAILs script also
*/
/*
 * FAILs script also
 */

Just tested each of those possibilities in separate update zips.
