[SCRIPT] 32A - 32B detection script - G1 Android Development

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

I'll try that, THANK!

if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
should be

auto-launch scripts

Ok, searched and couldn't find, so if you know a thread where this is touched upon, please link to the post?
I'm trying to disable a2sd on JAC's latest rom (compcache just makes it so much more livable) and enable linux swap and compcache. what I ended up doing was modifying the a2sd script so that it checks for a third partition instead of a second, that way, I can disable a2sd by not having a third partition. I also changed the swap script to check for a second partition. I'm pretty much making a2sd optional in order to use compcache (since it's the a2sd script that launches the userinit.sh script at /system/sd, if there's no ext partition, it jumps to else and ignores the part to run userinit.sh). Anyway, I'm wondering how it is that a2sd is being launched on startup, and wether it's being launched on every single boot or just on first boot. I'm wondering because i want to replace it with my own script, now, i could either copy the contents of my script to a2sd script, or i could find out how it is that scripts are auto-launched on android so that i can add them later instead of just appending everything to the a2sd script and hoping it works (since some things will conflict).
Here's my modified script, anyway, if anybody is interested in running compcache and swap without a2sd, only need two partitions, fat32 and linux-swap, if you add a third ext2 partition, then you enable a2sd (data, dalvik-cache, and data-private, I like leaving app_s internal for speed):
notice, this is not MY script per se, just modified from jac's a2sd and the userinit.sh for cyanogen's compcache roms

[PATCH][A2SD]MT3G Friendly a2sd Patch - Firerat

EDIT: 2010-05-13
a note on this modded a2sd and CM5
This mod is *not* required , cm5 has a newer/better way of implementing a2sd
but it will do no harm, it just simply won't do anything
Firerat Patch - a2sd for MT3G users
NOTE My Modified a2sd is intended for both G1s and MT3Gs, one a2sd suits both MT3G's and G1s
Ok, I thought it was about time I gave a full explanation on my mt3g-a2sd patch
why MT3G users should not use an ext partition
why MT3G users who have just 2 Parttions ( FAT / SWAP ) get failed boots
How my modifications reslove this situation
Why should MT3G users not use an ext partition?
the answer is quite simple really, they don't need it.
a2sd was designed with G1s in mind, the G1's /data partition has a limited amount of space available, just over 74mb or 89mb with 'DangerSPL' whereas the MT3G has just over 295mb around 3 or 4 times the G1's.
Although I have not 'benchmarked' the 'speeds' of internal vs sdcard , I belive it is widely accepted that the internal memory is significantly faster than sdcards, and therefore if an MT3G can use it, it should.
So I hope we are all now agree that the MT3G's internal memory should be used for apps/dalvik-cache
Why do MT3G users who have just 2 Parttions ( FAT / SWAP ) get failed boots?
the problem is within the a2sd script, here is a section of the code, with my annotations in blue
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]Here the script checks for second partition[/COLOR]
if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ];
then
[COLOR="Blue"]it exists so it does a fsck on it [/COLOR]
# fsck the sdcard filesystem first
e2fsck -fy /dev/block/mmcblk0p2;
# set property with exit code in case an error occurs
setprop cm.e2fsck.errors $?;
[COLOR="Blue"] an error is returned ( it is swap not an extfs ) error no. is just stored, no action [/COLOR]
# mount and set permsd
busybox mount -o noatime,nodiratime -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd;
[COLOR="Blue"] The above mount command fails, it is swap
<snip some link clean ups>[/COLOR]
# move apps and dalvik cache from internal memory to sdcard
for i in app app_s app-private dalvik-cache;
do
[COLOR="Blue"] here directories are normally created on sdcard
but as sdcard isn't mounted it tries to put them on the /system partition,
since /system is mounted read only , it fails[/COLOR]
if [ ! -d /system/sd/$i ];
then
mkdir /system/sd/$i;
fi
busybox chown 1000:1000 /system/sd/$i;
busybox chmod 771 /system/sd/$i
if [ -d /data/$i ] && [ ! -h /data/$i ];
then
[COLOR="Blue"] the next line tries to copy files from internal memory to /system/sd,
which is read only, it fails[/COLOR]
busybox cp -a /data/$i/* /system/sd/$i/;
busybox rm -f /data/$i/*;
[COLOR="Blue"] BANG , that line above just deleted all your apps,
your system will not boot[/COLOR]
fi;
done;
# symlink app dirs - they must be on the same filesystem
for i in app app_s app-private;
do
if [ -d /data/$i ] && [ ! -h /data/$i ];
then
busybox rm -rf /data/$i;
[COLOR="Blue"] its just removing empty directories,
and creating a link to none existent directories in /system/sd/[/COLOR]
busybox ln -s /system/sd/$i /data/$i;
fi;
done;
How my modifications reslove this situation
Quite simply by skipping the above code, with this.
Code:
# check if not a G1 ( assuming mt3g ) - Firerat 2010-03-23
rohardware=`getprop ro.hardware`
if [ "$rohardware" != "trout" ];
then
FindSwap
ReturnAppsToData
$SETPROP_CMD cm.filesystem.ready 1;
exit 0;
the != is not equal to, getprop ro.hardware will return sapphire, not trout,
so this code will run my findswap, and ReturnAppsToData Functions
you can find the ReturnAppsToData Function in my next post
Code:
FindSwap ()
{
if [ "`sed -n '$=' /proc/swaps`" -gt "1" ];
then
echo "Swap appears to be already setup, skipping checks"
return
else
for isitswap in `ls /dev/block/mmcblk0p*` ; do
swapon $isitswap 2>/dev/null
if [ "$?" = "0" ];
then
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
sed s~/dev/block/mmcblk0p.~$isitswap~ /system/bin/user.conf -i
busybox mount -o ro,remount /system
break
else
echo "$isitswap is not swap"
fi
done
fi
return
}

the Flash update in the OP should convert an MT3G emulating a G1 with broken keyboard back into an MT3G with a spare ext partition, for a chroot linux or something, or just fix it up before messing about re-partitioning
but I have to say, I have not tested the apps back to data part, it should check if there is room, it did cross my mind that some may have hundreds of apps and it they would be too big to fit, so I try to check
Lovely, thanks! I'm going to try this now, as I'm just re-flashing King's Legend2g1
Would this be able to run properly once a ROM is already established? Like a ROM I've had for a couple days? Or would this need to be flashed on a ROM that's recently installed. For instance:
Code:
Flash ROM
Flash a2sd
reboot

yes, my latest will copy app, app_s, app-private and dalvik-cache from the ext partition to /data
( unless it finds that they are all too big, in which case you are still g1 with broken keyboard but your gota have *a lot* of apps before that happens )
But as I only have a G1 I have not been able to test it properly, but the logic is straight forward so fingers crossed I have not missed a typo...
Hmm. I'm having a problem with it. Well, maybe with it. So the first time I wiped, repartitioned with just a swap (190mb) and the rest as fat32. I flashed Rom, then flashed your patch, then flashed the vega kernal patch. Booted up, it all worked, past the HTC quietly brilliant screen, but then sat there on the black HTC bit. If I let the screen sleep, it looked like Sense had loaded, but when I unlocked it it was still sitting there on the black HTC screen with Clock repeatedly FC'ing. So I wiped, reflashed this time just the Rom and the Patch and this time it's getting to the setup screen. It was working fine. I connected to wifi, then signed into my google account (still on the setup) and then onto the next screen about google using my location, and then Settings FC'd. Since then I've been in a loop of going back to the start of the Setup menu, never getting further than the language screen again. I will reboot and see if that helps. Failing that, I'll re-flash with JUST the rom, and see if it sets up ok. If so, I suppose I won't need the patch afterall!
I'll keep you updated.

Further to this, I rebooted and let it sit for a while, then tried again. I got as far as the Facebook sync bit on the Setup but no dice, FC settings and back to the start. So I wiped and re-flashed just the rom, which has now been sitting on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen for about 15 minutes. The only option I haven't tried yet is installing Legend2g1 + the Vega patch, booting and seeing if it works.

try one of my Legend for NoneDangerSPLs

they are using an MT3G friendly a2sd out of the box, but without the apps back to data part
Firerat! This is AWESOME!!!!! I've needed this for a while, but my experience of bash scripting is less than mediocre.
I have 3 questions:
1) To make this usable on g1, I can just remove the ro.getprop section, correct? or do I need to change it instead of removing it?
2) To guess whether or not my /data folder will even fit on the g1, can I simply extract the zip and look at the file size of "data" folder inside, or is there something more? and if that barely fits, will dalvik-cache still go on sd?
3) If I am installing a bunch of apps and it fills up /data (assuming I am using this script), then will the "move apps and dalvik-cache to sd" option in amon_ra work?
Thanks man!

Out of the box it will work with G1s and MT3Gs, that's the idea One Script two phones.

with a G1 I let everything go to sd,
but if I work out that dalvik-cache will fit on data , leaving 10mb free I keep it on data
I do need to tweak it a little, the Legend Cache Hacks I have done need a reboot to push dalvik-cache to sd
And , in future ( providing DEVs adopt it ) all system apps can go to system
check my Eris / Legend on NoneDangerSPL in sig for more info
I can recommend the ErisCacheHack, and Legend for NoneDanger
( DangerLegend is still wip, but I'm hoping my latest works )

yeah, it should do, the a2sd will move the dalvik-cache back if it thinks there is enough space, but at the moment it won't touch the apps
I am going to develop the a2sd a little more, and get it to auto move apps between data/sd depending on size
I kind of hint at that in the comments in the last function
but one of my goals is to get unionfs going, having some apps on internal and some on SD
it will also make the cache hack much easier
I'd just flash a linux base, the android being a tarball, and extract the android on first boot into a unionfs, if I'm right, the files will automagicaly go to where space is available
failing that, I have other ideas

If working unionfs for a2sd search XDA (in particular, this forum) first. It's been done but was found wanting from a performance standpoint--you may as well build on that experience. You might also see if you get better results from aufs.

Thanks for the quick response. In regard to #1, if I wanted to make the script do what it usually does on mt3g happen on my g1, can I simply remove those lines?
Also, I'm testing the legend patch right now ON DANGER, but fyi the 4shared links for the prepatched rom don't work... that's why I did it myself. flashing.
hmm.. Ill flash this over the current rom im using i guess and ill see how it goes. using that SuperEclair 2.3. should i wipe before flashing or its unnecessary?

this isn't something you flash, it's something you stick into /system/bin when you're cooking a rom... as far as I know...

[Script] Chroot Control Script

One of the fun things you can do on your Android device, is to play around with different ways of getting a real distro (Debian, Ubuntu etc.) working along side the Android system. There are several (A lot) of tutorials in here on how to do this, so this part will not be covered here. This thread only contains some scripts that will help make it easier working with the chroot.
Most of the scripts that comes with the endless pool of chroot tutorials, is only made to mount and unmount the distro image in the most simple way. But nothing that helps walking in and out of the chroot without mount/unmount, and nothing that takes different services, busy devices etc. into consideration.
The debian.sh script in this thread has many tasks. It will on execution check to see if the image is mounted or not. If the image is mounted, it will just enter the chroot. If not, it will mount the image and then enter the chroot. On exit it will provide you with the option of exiting the chroot or exit and unmount.
Also it provides 4 custom scripts that is placed and executed inside the chroot. One for mount, unmount, enter chroot, leave chroot. This makes it possible to control chroot services much easier.
The script debian.sh is executed using the command "debian". You can also unmount the chroot from within the android shell by executing "debian unmount" instead of entering the chroot and then exit choosing to unmount.
The unmount process has several and different unmount attempts in case of busy devices, running services etc. which will make sure that the chroot is successfully unmounted.

The script has build-in first-time-install functionality that will create missing directories etc. Just change the variable "FILESYSTEM" in debian.sh to the correct path and filename of your distro image, and it will handle the rest.
Chroot Init Scripts
Inside your chroot, you can create the directory /etc/init.chroot and create the fallowing files.
rc_mount.sh - Executed after mount
rc_unmount.sh - Executed before unmount
rc_enter.sh - Executed when entering chroot
rc_leave.sh - Executed when leaving chroot
Here are an example of a mount and unmount script used to control tightvncserver.
File: (chroot) /etc/init.chroot/rc_mount.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Make sure that the vncserver is completly stopped before starting.
if [ ! -f /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 ] && [ ! -f /tmp/.X1-lock ]; then
# Start vncserver
vncserver -geometry 800x480 :1
else
# This is in case something went wrong the last time
# it was shut down. Perhaps an uncomplete unmount.
vncserver -kill :1 2> /dev/zero
unset /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 2> /dev/zero 2> /dev/zero
unset /tmp/.X1-lock 2> /dev/zero 2> /dev/zero
vncserver -geometry 800x480 :1
fi
File: (chroot) /etc/init.chroot/rc_unmount.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Only stop this if it is started
if [ -f /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 ] || [ -f /tmp/.X1-lock ]; then
vncserver -kill :1
# Make sure that these are removed
unset /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 2> /dev/zero
unset /tmp/.X1-lock 2> /dev/zero
fi
Using these scripts, the VNC Server is started on chroot mount and stopped on chroot unmount. You can still leave and enter the chroot keeping the VNC Server running.

Optware for Android, another try

If you're interested in running more complete Unix/Linux environment on your Android device, you might have heard about Optware for Android, here is thread for example.
Well, that project had few issues, like: shipping binaries of unknown origin and running them on user's device as root; coded and advertised as applying to one particular device; making too much changes on the device in one turn (like alter rootfs image).
That's why I decided to create another Optware install script to address those points. It is explicitly envisioned to support Android as an OS/Platform, i.e. all devices, not one particular model. Well, that may be not exactly easy, but that's at least good aim to pursue. It also doesn't come with any random binaries, but instead downloads them from a trusted source during the installation process (sources being Optware itself for bootstrap packages and CodeSourcery toolchain package for libc on which Optware depends).
Due to the last point, the installation script runs on a Linux host, so ADB connection to the device is required. Device also should have working "su" command (i.e. be rooted).
The source code is on github: https://github.com/pfalcon/optware-android
Just a bit of DISCLAIMER: you should run this script only if you understand what Optware is, and how to use it. Some experience with Unix/Linux command line and shell scripts is required, in particular you should skim thru the install script before running it.
Otherwise, it works quite well on my Nook Tablet, and I'd be happy to receive suggestions, success/bug reports, patches, etc.
Great work.
I took the liberty of using your script as a base to install OpenSSH. Should work on any device. I can't post links so I attached an archive with the script and the necessary files.
CyanogenMod on my Touchpad has some sort of sysinit '/etc/init.d', so I initialize Optware and Optware init scripts from there. I don't know how other mods handle this, probably different. SSH authentication is key-based, since passwords are not set. Have a look at the script to figure out how to deal with that.
Glad it was useful for you. Issue how to automatically start up daemons on Android indeed exists. The native Android way is /init.rc config file (of adhoc format). The problem is that this file is located on rootfs, which is ramdisk, i.e. any changes are lost and not available during boot. And initial content of that ramdisk comes from initramfs/initrd, but it has many ways to be implemented - compiled into kernel or on separate partition, checksumed against any changes, etc. So, in general case it's not possible to update, and even if it is, a mistake can lead to bricked device.
So, I for now skipped that issue altogether in my installer, but hope to get to it eventually (have some ideas).
So, if you have CyanogenMod, then using /etc/init.d is for sure a good solution.
One suggestion/question... is it possible to alter the script to run directly off of the device's command line? That would eliminate the Linux (and optionally would eliminate the ADB requirement).
I'm sure there's a static wget binary for ARM already compiled somewhere, and the rest can be done through busybox.
That would really make it universal. I'm a Windows user, and haven't had the time to parse out your script and figure out what the end result is supposed to look like on the device

There's now FAQ at http://sf.net/p/optware-android which discusses why this isn't possible on pristine Android system (lack of basic POSIX utilities and wget). It also has a suggestion for Windows users ;-).

The question is not if it's available, but whether you can trust such binary. The responsible user's answer is "No". Nook Color's optware installer does exactly that - ships binaries of unknown origin, and dissatisfaction with such approach is what prompted be to develop alternative installer.
The only way you can trust it if [easily buildable] source is provided, then it's up to the user to either compile it themselves or on their own risk to use provided binary. I don't have such source at my hands, and not interested to make it zillion's time just for this adhoc purpose - instead, there should be well-established community project to provide such build framework for all other projects to reuse. I hope, we'll tackle that under auspices of f-droid.org project.

Other possible approach is to just skip "shell script" (and need for busybox) thing at all, and write installer in Java, to be run as normal Android app. That's certainly neat idea which will make users' life easier, and I have that on my (very long) TODO list ;-).
awesome! great work!
i have one small issue though: /etc/hosts doesnt seem to have any effect. a lot of stuff won't work because localhost cant be resolved. any suggestions?
2 onemandivision: Confirmed this issue, looking into it.
Ok, it turns out that GLibc's nsswitch default is weird in favoring DNS over /etc/hosts, and with Google DNS it didn't even look in the latter. Fixed by installing explicit nsswitch.conf:
# ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.274 ms
Let's dub this 1.0 then (tagged).

Most phones that are rooted have a fairly recent version of busybox on it, which includes wget. Also, standard practice on kernels these days (non stock ones) is to have all scripts that exist in /etc/init.d execute. That would solve any service startup issue.
I don't see any problems with requiring root and busybox
Solves all of the issues.
Hello
I tried the script and i was able to install ipkg on my Samsung Galaxy II
the only problem is... if i try to install any package... i get a segmentation fault error

any advice? :'(
If you already have shell access to your device and don't want to connect via ADB, I modified the script to have the ability to run directly on your device (your device will need at least a functional wget executable already, which I had from SSHDroid):
Code:
# OPTWARE_DIR is where to install optware, it should be on a partition with
# normal Unix filesystem (permissions, etc.)
OPTWARE_DIR=/data/opt
# Particular field to install from, stable by default

Tizen chrooted for Android

Hello xda-developers!
I'm trying to port Tizen for samsung wave 1.
But now I'm doing some research.
This thread will be my research on doing a chrooted scripts and try to boot a Tizen 2 Alpha working through vnc-viewer.
I'll write here my scripts for everyone to test it.
After these scripts an app. But now scripts.
This thread will be updated everytime I get a spare time to write it.
Thanks!
Tutorial:
First download the image from the torrent file.
Copy it for your extsd or sdcard phone/tablet.
It's to copy the image file from Tizen 2 Alpha for these two places.
And on terminal emulator run the tizen_run bash file.
Test it and I will test it too as I'm writing this tutorial and post.
Rename the script tizen_run.sh.txt to tizen_run.sh
Thanks !
PS: This code was changed to work with Tizen 2 Alpha I'm going to test it now.

sorry for the noobs questions, but how??
Edit 1:
I saw your tutorial just now, but I did not understand what to do in the terminal emulator?
There's no problem at all.
You need to copy the code into a file bash(.sh) with the name tizen_run.sh
Then in badadroid run it an app called terminal emulator to get into vnc-viewer.
As a loopback image inside android.
I'm trying to run it as an application like linuxonandroid.

I think I am not smart enough to do understand you..
But thanks anyway..
Okay.
I'll upload here the file to run on terminal emulator.
I'm testing the app for android.
I'll upload it here.
Something wrong.There are no permission to tizen_run.sh
I can't test
New link for image tizen:
http://tizen-kernel-s8500.googlecode.com/files/tizen.7z.001
Try this command:
sh tizen_run.sh
or
./tizen_run.sh
Copied Tizen.img (latest one) to sd card
Copied tizen_run.sh to sd card
Then on Android (Nand Ver.) Emulator tried
sh tizen_run.sh ---> no such file or directory
./tizen_run.sh ---> not found
I'm going to check it out.
type this on terminal emulator:
cd /mnt/extsd - if exists
cd folder "where the Tizen.img and script is located"
then
sh tizen_run.sh
or
./tizen_run.sh

I'll post a new file.
To see what happens.
in the first topic i have a txt file rename it on linux.
mv tizen_run.sh.txt tizen_run.sh

Sorry about not saying any news.
Next week another build and a better script with an app for badadroid.
