REQUEST/IDEA for a safety script for tweaking/OC

I had an Idea for a script that would run at bootup, and if a certain variable had a "value" of NOT 1.
then the script would change the CHMOD of a userinit.sh located in the sd-ext from 050 or 777 to 750 then it would change the variable "value" to 0 were it would stay untill another script that runs at shut down or reboot setts the variable to 1 and changes CHMOD back to 050 or 777 so that the userinit.sh is not run.
That way if a change is made during operating the phone that causes the phone to crash with out shutting down properly the script runs which causes the userinit.sh to run and "resets" userinit.sh values to a "default". Otherwise if shut down properly nothing happens.
This could be expanded on to include repairing the EXT or clearing some special cache or other stuff I am unfamiliar with but that you might want to run after a crash.(like logcat?)
any way what do you think? any promise?

I think, for overclocking purposes anyway, making the userinit.sh unrunnable would make the phone break immediately, as I think it would go to the highest available frequency. However, I like the idea, though I'm not sure how to run scripts on shutdown. I think for overclocking, it would check if the shutdown was clean on startup, and if not change the applicable line to the next lowest number, which it would get either from a seperate file or maybe it could be stuffed in the script itself. (Just my somewhat uneducated thoughts)

Keep it simple. If a change in userinit.sh breaks your system, reboot to recovery and edit it and reboot again.

most rom devs/tweakers launch userinit.sh by calling it with a sh
e.g.
/system/bin/sh /system/sd/userinit.sh
so it will still run !! ( as init doesn't care about permissions, it is god )
don't believe me?
Code:
echo "echo I ran" > /data/test.sh
chmod 000 /data/test.sh
sh /data/test.sh

Keep it simple. If a change in userinit.sh breaks your system, reboot to recovery and edit it and reboot again.

And I know that most roms now have a script called something like in /system/etc/init.d/20userinit that runs at startup and checks to see if a userinit.sh is present in sd-ext,if so it runs it.Also I noticed that the script can be there but if it is CHMOD to 777 it wont run. This is the "Reset script" Set to restet to something you like and run other tasks to help Fix/Diagnose probs.
The OC changes would be made from a different script such as 86supersettings
Or a userinit located in system/sd maybe ?
The thing is making sure one is read before the other.
Any way I probably will just learn the language better and do it from recovery console.
Thanks again

chmod 777 makes it rw and executable by everyone!!!!!!!!
have a look here
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilesp.html
but as I mentioned above, init ( the initial progam runs as root and doesn't care about permissions, ( it wouldn't be very good at doing initialising the system if it had to seek permission )

Yea your right. Well I said I wasn't that good at this linux stuff! Now I Proved it.
Any way as you can see this is more of a request..... I still think it's a good Idea.
Thanks for your help FireRat.

I understand how I could manualy Replace the modified script with a default one that was on my sdcard from within recovery after a faild OC change...but..
Are you saying I could actualy modify the original script from recover? Do you have any info on how? A link?

If you have RA-Recovery, adb works, so you can pull/push the userinit.sh script. You can also enter the terminal and use vi to edit it from recovery. You may have to mount the ext partition first, but that's pretty easy. "mount /system/sd" will do it, if /system/sd doesn't exist, "mkdir /system/sd".

Ok, Thanks that makes sense. I'm still learning adb though. And I tried vi once before with no luck. But now I know what to learn about.
Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

I'm not sure you need it,
this is for education value, if you want to play ^^^ is where to start

Thank You!
That is perfect
I need to add all of this to the startup script right?

I am going to use the beta boot up script from ZKX called 86Supersettings, but I could use a userinit/user.conf like most do. Correct?

well, a .conf file should be just that
a file with configurations , not an executable script

OK. I guess I meant both together. I would use the user.conf to make tweaks. Then have to modify the userinit.sh with the part you made. Something like.
#!/system/bin/sh--LEAVE THIS OUT. ITS ALL READY AT THE BEGINNING
if [ "`cat /data/cleanshutdown`" != "1" ];
then
echo "shutdown was not clean"
Dont run user.conf
and set cpu or other stuff to "default"
else
echo "shutdown was clean"
Run user.conf for tweaked settings

If I'm way off then I guess I need to re-read the Userinit thread.

well, in practise it doesn't matter
the file extension is only for use humans, if I'm looking in a directory and I see .conf I expect it to be a configuration file, I see .sh, its a shell script, .py python, pl perl .......

I see. Well Thanks again for your help. Your script does work. I tried it. crash on purpose.
I still have a lot to learn.

Folks;
1) If you're OC'ing via SetCPU, remember that this doesn't change the recovery kernel, and you can uninstall SetCPU from Recovery. From there, all you need is a "safe" userinit.sh.
3) If you're OC'ing via userinit.sh -- same deal. Your phone crashes on you and you just edit it to a safe config from recovery.
Tweak away.

This is what I ended up with

Named 86supersettings so it runs after userinit.sh if one exists.
I put some Led indicators in so you can tell if it ran right at boot up. (about all I did besides copy and paste) Thinking about adding some other stuff like repair ext, or some kind of log to help me see what happed... any suggestions.

OK, here's another Idea for another safety feature...
I would like to "hard code" a temp fail-safe in to the code. I would like to get rid of SetCPU and when OC-ing it's nice to have a temp failsafe.SHUTDOWN!LOL
Any way I guess I would just add a few lines to some existing script in my phone?.... Any suggestions.
Thanks for your time.

[SCRIPT] 32A - 32B detection script

Hi,
I don't know how-to detect if a device is 32B or 32A automatically.... Logically, if we do a free command during recovery install, we can AUTOMATICALLY check if it's a 32B/A, then, we create a gile on sdcard called 32B/A, or a prop, and when it flash kernel, or wifi module or sound things, we include this prop in the script
Can anyone create this script?
[EDIT]
Many Thanks to Firerat who mades the script, and a little to me, who has the idea!
So the script is here:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Idea : Artifex14
# script : Firerat => THE BEST!
# 28.06.10
ram=`free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'`
if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
then
model=32a
echo "32a"
else
model=32b
echo "This device is a 32b"
fi
if [ "model" = "32a" ];
then
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32a.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32b.img
else
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32b.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32a.img
fi

I thought about this too. It could be done at the time the rom is flashed, but up to now I only know how to make update-script, not updater-script or update-binary. You could pack all sorts of boot images, and then, say, a system-dream, system-sapphire, and system-magic folder and depending on the board version property, flash the appropriate versions of files, at least in theory that should work, plus it prevents you from having to flash extra files just for cross-device compatibility.

Can you do the script? For the updaterscript, it's OK!

et a script to run
Code:
free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'
and test that, e.g.
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# KernelPrep.sh
ram=`free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'`
if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
then
model=32a
else
model=32b
fi
if [ "model" = "32a" ];
then
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32a.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32b.img
else
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32b.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32a.img
fi
get your updater script to run that, then copy your kernels to /tmp/
Code:
package_extract_dir("kernels", "/tmp");
or
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:kernels TMP:
next you can
Code:
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
or
Code:
write_raw_image TMP:boot.img BOOT:
edit:
ps, you don't really need the second if statement, but its easier to read like that
oops , nearly forgot about the kernel modules
Code:
mount /system
install -d /system/lib/modules
ln -s /system/lib/modules /tmp/modules32a
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/modules32b

Elementary sh scripting doubt

I'm trying to run scripts in recovery and running into some trouble.
Example1:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
if [ -s /system/etc/data2sd.on ]; then echo Presemt; else echo No; fi;
Output:
Code:
sh /tmp/test.sh
Presemt
Example2:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
if [ -s /system/etc/data2sd.on ];
then
echo Presemt;
else
echo No;
fi;
Output
Code:
sh /tmp/test.sh
: not foundh: line 7:
: not foundh: line 7:
No
: not foundh: line 7:
/tmp #
I've been trying out different spacing, and punctuation; still cannot work this out. I'm running it on a Desire. If anyone could offer some suggestions on a fix, I'd be thankful. I've got a very complex script if/else script which runs fine when run in init.d as busybox runparts. However this simple script doesnt run in recovery without errors!

Tangent: unless I'm mistaken, *.* will not backup everything but only files with a "." in their name. You should use 'cp /tmp/data2sd/* /system/etc/' instead.
Also, isn't it 'cp SOURCE DESTINATION' ? Do you really want to back up from /tmp/data2sd to /system/etc ?
fake edit: ah, just saw the comment . Then it should be "All restored"/"Not restoring" right ?

You're right. I was kind of going along with the msdos style wildcards. But my files (data2sd.ver, data2sd.log) do have a . in between.
Yup, I'm indeed restoring from tmp. Since it was a debug, I wasnt paying attention to the echo commands. It's the second part of a script, the first part of which backs up these files to tmp before system format, and then restores them after. Unfortunately, as soon as I make it multiline, it fails with some error.

In my kernel compile script on line 63 there is a similar if. It should work. I don't know what is wrong anymore. Really strange

Thanks anyway.
I noticed that your script uses bash as the script debugger
#!/bin/bash
Could there be a difference in these two? I dont think this is it either. I saw similiar if/else script in Firerat's MTD patcher script too, and that seems to work.
Thanks a lot anyway..I'll just put the script on one big line.

hehe yeah... the sbin and bin shouldn't fix the problem. I can't find the error. Everything is looking good. But yeah this is a solution

What editor are you using for the multi-line script? Are you saving it in DOS format? bash won't read the \r\n from a Windows/DOS text editor at the end of lines if you're using Notepad, etc.

Used Notepad++. It seems to be good enough for update-scripts.

Maybe, but update-scripts aren't BASH scripts. BASH does care about line endings; I don't know whether Amend/Edify do or not.
Anyway, Notepad++ can save with UNIX line endings. I don't use it, but this forum post suggests you look in the options:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=2083365
Notepad++ > Settings > Preferences > New Document/Default Directory > Format > Unix.
Other Google searches indicate there may be a conversion option under the Edit or Format menus.

[Mod][Flash] Universal Bootanimation Flash Update.zip - Sense|AOSP|Sprint|HTC|Verizon

Hello World.
Tommy here. This time I have a nifty little trick for you guys.
This took a little creative thinking but I think I got it pretty good. I was chatting with some Team Ramen Noodles guys and someone asked how an AOSP botanimaiton zip can be flashed on a Sense ROM. This was the lightbulb moment
Instructions for dev:
Download from link below.
Place the file "bootanimation.zip" inside the update.zip. I put a placeholder so you would know where to replace it.
Optionally, you can put a sound "android_audio.mp3". If you don't want it, then just leave it out. Not necessary.
When you open it up, you will see two place holder files, "bootanimaion.zip__HERE" and "android_audo.mp3__HERE". You can delete them if you want, but they don't do anything. Just for reference.
Files must be named "bootanimation.zip" and "android_audio.zip", otherwise won't work.
The script "tt_uni_boot" looks for the animation and sound in the rom, and replaces it depending on what it finds.
This works on AOSP, Sense, Sprint, HTC, and Verizion
The update.zip below is what you should use as your base if you want to make your bootanimation universal for all roms.
Also, if anyone wants to flash it as is, it contains this lovely animation:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

I do something a little different, I take the file.from aosp, its named bootanimation.zip, rename it to spc_bootanimation.zip and place it in system/cutomize/resource. Using root explorer. I reboot, and.it works. I use the ics animation on my on my swag rom.

Yep. That is the tradition method. But now the maker of the bootanimation just needs to post one zip that works on all roms. How handy

Tommy,
You are thanked x2.
You're as busy as a cat covering up sh*t.
I've been trying to quantify your knowledge and sum it up in a few words. I finally figured it out. You, my friend, are an "idea man". Your knowledge keeps expanding because of the unique ideas you formulate when you are challenged with each new endeavor. Yet, it goes beyond just that. You have the generosity to share your ideas and solutions with the community, which encourages others to participate. The kindness and respect that you show to all members of this community is refreshing and much appreciated. Thank you for all your contributions.

First off, great concept!
However, looking through the bash script i noticed what appear to be a few bugs.
1: some typos in the comments and echoed text.
2: you check for an existing sound and set it to BOOT_SOUND but if not found the script continues without BOOT_SOUND initialised to anything.
3: you typed "buxybox" instead of "busybox" in two locations (durring the move process)
4: when replacing the animation you move the new file to BOOT_ANI, then check for and delete the temp file. Then you check if BOOT_ANI exists and report success or failure. The problem as written is that BOOT_ANI always exists, regardless if the move operation succeeded. Same problem for the sound.
I'm working on a fix for these issues and will post it later today, after i have a chance to test it.

Thanks for those notes I caught most of these errors directly after I made posted. But this was just a fun idea I had to help out someone.
1. Yep. lol. locatioon isn't a word.
2. Good point. Bad logic on my part. But the script works regardless. If there is no "BOOt_SOUND" then there will be nothing to move and so the script will just error out during this part. No big deal since there isn't a sound anyways...but it should be fixed regardless.
3. buxybox is also not a word. lol. This was my first typo I noticed after putting the script up. I didn't bother to go in and fix it because the command is actually redundant. In the busybox mv -f command, the file is moved from the original location. No need to "busybox rm" it, or in my case "buxybox"
4. I actually didn't think about this. I wrote the script with intent to put any bootanimation where it belongs. I put the logs in there just for testing purposes and didn't consider that the animation/sound would exist regardless of failure.
Feel free to improve the script at your convenience! That is why I posted it so other users can improve.
While these errors should be fixed, the script still works as intended Only detail oriented people will notice.
I already have an updated version prepared but I will wait for your version. I will post it up

Just got home and about to begin working on this. just wanted to note that the check for a BOOT_SOUND is important in the case where a user doesn't currently have sound and is flashing one that does include a sound. In that scenario they would end up with only the new animation and no sound.
I think i have a solution to choose a default location when no sound is currently present. Will test and report back.
-SLS-

ok, after a little work, some testing, and many many delays, my update to your original script:
http://www.soulshadow.net/android/tt_uni_boot
a few things to note:
- i left the first line unchanged, however to work on my evo running CM 7.1 i had to change the path to /system/xbin/bash. *** Also works using /system/bin/sh ***
- I added more logging
- I added more conditional checks and changed the execution order. can now be used to replace an animation, a sound, or both. depending which files are included in the zip.
- Added a "default" location if no existing animation or sound is found.
- Currently only supports single phone distribution. Meaning, each phone model still requires a different animation zip file because of display size differences. hopefully this limitation can be eliminated with planned run time discovery, creating a truly universal script.
To Do:
- check and possibly reorder the animation and sound search order.
- find out which location should be used as a default
- check permissions on installed files
- run time discovery of phone specs (manufacturer, model, rom) to aid in installation choices.
- remove or back up existing files first
- read command line arguments to change run time functionality and allow for usage from within an app
I am currently working on some of the additional features, but wanted to share what i have so far.
Enjoy!

[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich problem on JXD S5100 console

Hello folks,
ive bought this cheap android based console like 1 year ago for my son to play android games on it. In last few weeks ive figured that many apps are lost due some reason and i can see them with 0 kb in applications list. Ive bought new SD card from Kingston to test it with but still the same issue. After moving application to SD card with A2SD III, application disapears from console and from SD card. After several days spent on google ive found possible fix but im not able to apply it since i dont have in system file where this fix can be applied. I hope somebody can help me to locate or advice what file should be possibly modified. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them (except those to throw that crap out of window)

After several days spent on google ive found possible fix but im not able to apply it since i dont have in system file where this fix can be applied. I hope somebody can help me to locate or advice what file should be possibly modified. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them (except those to throw that crap out of window)

didnt help..im still looking for the file where i can set that parameter to avoid that services start before mounting of SD card is finished..

i think the problem is the "A2SD III". take another one like my script and test.

Not sure where to place this script..or if its necessary to modify some other already existing script... btw..this the original ROM if anyone experienced is willing to check it.. http://www.jxd.hk/download.asp?id=1152&selectclassid=020001 for what i would be very grateful :fingers-crossed:

Please gurus...help me out with this issue...here is the script and i have no idea where to put it... thanks in advance
