Ok guys here is a VERY beta release, it is based off collin_ph's rc1 theres bugs and glitches galore but as this is my first major project for coding bear with me.
http://github.com/Shabbypenguin/battery-tweak-v3
all props go to collin_ph over on the hero cdma board. if you enjoyed this on the hero then i ask you donate to him. (he's trying to take his kids to see teh last space shuttle launch) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791060

Release time!!!!!! ok guys for the first bit batt.sh is working i can confirm that, now is it doing anything i have no idea but thats what im hoping yall can help me figure out.
batt.conf is set to 800 i will upload a other packages that will run on 1.2ghz and 1ghz for your choosing until i get batt-cfg sorted out
now heres the bad news you need to do a bit of work to get this running, working on a script right now that will do most of the hard work for ya but its not gunna be so easy til we have busybox support and syslinked items in all kernels/roms til then i can only guarantee that this will work on the phoenix kernel anyways without further ado here is teh commands:
1) download the intended zip
2) flash the zip
3) run busybox.sh
4) run batt.sh in mobile emulator and it should hang hit the back key
5) enter in shell again and feel free to make sure its running with "pidof batt.sh"

ok well i made the script based off thinking there was no busybox support ill whip another one tonight that doesnt have it, expr isnt going to be in /bin as its a command used by busybox, by linking it you created a shortcut. i know for myself none of the kernels or roms have it linked from the get go so i didnt take into consideration that most people may link em
Tyvm!! I was going to ask colin to port it to the epic. I loved my hero because of froyo + colin tweak
lol i asked collin to do it, and he replied with his github link, so i began to work on it. had some help from decad3nce and collin and various other people. like i said it is very beta right now but im hoping to improve it
When is the next one coming? Cause this one didnt work for me
when did it work? did it flash did it not find expr like previous posts?
if your busybox is linked and you get the expr not found error please try using this version of batt.sh and batt-diag
http://github.com/Shabbypenguin/Battery
youll have to download it and adb push it to /system/bin and then chmod it to 755
I'll test it in the morning, night penguin

It sounds like you saved the HTML formatting from the github page - unfortunately you can't simply right-click-save the file there.
Best bet is to use a GIT client to download it.
Failing that, just view each script and copy/paste the contents.

my apologies ive been pretty busy ill try making a flashable zip for yall again tonight, but the one youd need off github was if you tried the other one and wasnt working, batt.conf is part of the github as well.
im more concerned about why your phone couldnt find bin/sh tho..... that would mean it wouldnt be able to run any scripts :O
I don't know either. sh is in the there in my /system/bin folder. I'll play around with it when I get home tonight.
Thanks.
edit: Okay. I edited the first line from "!/system/bin/sh" to "!sh" and the script looks like it found sh. This is the output now.

hi,
i compiled bash and added support for executing file /sdcard/bash_profile, so you can set PATH and PS1 variables there, for example...
if someone is interested, there it is for download
http://pub.mzet.net/bash
for become default shell copy bash to /system/bin/bash a then run:
Code:
cd /system/bin
chmod 0755 bash
mv sh sh0
ln -s bash sh

NICE! Good job mzet. I missed bash and its wonderful auto complete. This should help spur better scripting with all the functionality that bash supports. No more semicolons at the end of each line in a shell script.
On a side note, we should be able to add the following to init.rc rather than symlinking sh -> bash
export SHELL /system/bin/bash
here is example of my /sdcard/bash_profile
Code:
PATH=/sbin:/system/xbin/bb:/system/xbin:/system/bin
if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \W \$\[\033[00m\] '
else
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] '
fi
it shows localhost in green color when user is logged or in red color when root is logged...

strange. is this variable used? when i execute "echo $SHELL" it writes "/bin/sh", but it does not exists, it should write /system/bin/sh, i think
"/bin/sh" is ok. It's in boot.img...(respectively in ramdisk). Check out some ramdisk

Ya I noticed that after posting my last message. Perhaps it's not used. I'll try and find some time to change that in init.rc and reboot to see if it takes effect

I tried adding that to my init.rc and not doing the symlink and lost my shell, which I expected. I figured a reboot would fix it, but got stuck @ boot image. No problem...recent nandroid.
EDIT: Using the symlink works fine for now. Thank you!
Very cool. Thanks for giving us bash for Andriod! While we're thinking of low level tools, anyone have a version of busybox with colorized 'ls'?
Anyone know when /system/sd is mounted in the cyano ROMs? If it's available early enough, we could copy bash to /system/sd and avoid taking up 2.5MB in /system/bin.
it's too big, because everything is built statically
You know, before going off and compiling things (wasting your time), it is not too bad an idea to do a search... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3839562&postcount=4 to see if what you want is already done.

In that version of bash from the link you provided, the dev had an issue with the <enter> key working. This issue does not exist in this version. There's nothing wrong with someone compiling and providing their own version of something. This is exactly the same reason ROM developers on here create their own (and for the most part identical) ROMs as the next guy. We shouldn't hamper innovation, we should support it. Progress is measured by how well someone can build off another's innovation.
Plane->Jet->Space Shuttle. Imagine if we told the guy who invented the jet, hey retard, someone already made an F16, take your stealth bomber and shove it

well said shafty!!
that's big!
That had nothing to do with the bash, it had to do with "better terminal emulator".
And your analogies are wrong since the end result is the SAME THING.
If you want to contribute to things, invent something NEW. Don't keep on reinventing the wheel, we already know that its round.

Actually, I'm using mzet's version instead because it was built using a newer glibc and it's slightly smaller.
So thank you, mzet.
PS: using uclibc might result in smaller executables.

Being a senior member you should know better than to put people down. Let's not go down this road, there's plenty of development to do and no time to do it.

It won't work as default shell but if you use better terminal just make it the initial command and it can be on sd. Also it makes it persistent even through wipes.
in better terminal:
Code:
su -c "/system/sd/bin/bash --rcfile /system/sd/bashrc"
then in /system/sd/bashrc:
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:/system/sd/bin
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
# Shell is non-interactive. Be done now!
return
fi
if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \W \$\[\033[00m\] '
else
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\[email protected]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] '

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JAC 2.7.4 This is different!!
JacHeroski cyanagized with compache swap
07/21/09 1:27PM
download rename to update.zip and put on the phone flash as normal requires special spl and new radio
also requires ext2/3 swap and linux swap partitions
Nocturna.JacHeroZ cyanogized 1.0b
Much thanks to: justanothecrowd,cyanogen,ccyrowski,haykuro,jesufreke,D.b. hates you,drizzydrakerogers,h.nocturna, and jasherai
H.NOCTURNA! thanks for those .ko files or i wouldve been up till like 5 am looking
Im at work right now so i cant really put this all together quite yet but ill give you the rundown of how it will be done
if you dont wanna use the precompiled update.zip to avoid wipe
First download and flash Jachero 2.7.3
Then download jacheroski 1.4c and unzip in the folder you will need to things the "boot.img" in the main folder then jump into the /system folder and go ahead and copy the "modules" folder as well then open up /system/lib/modules/ and copy the wlan.ko
also youll need /system/bin/a2sd.sh
you should have 4 files pulled from this rom:
Modules
Boot.img
wlan.ko
a2sd.sh
heres what you do with those things:
Take modules and
adb push modules /system/modules/
take boot.img
adb push boot.img /sdcard/
wlan.ko
adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules
then please check this post and download the .ko files zipped attached to post
right here!!!
youll need to put these two files onto /system/modules/
one should be ramzswap.ko and xvmalloc.ko
Now for the a2sd.sh .. this script is ran on boot to do apps2sd but you can add to the end of it wich is what we are going to do
you will need to open this i used a word processor on my mac so it worked i duno about windows but you need to add these lines of code and then save it as a seperate document KEEP THE ORIGINAL!
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/modules/xvmalloc.ko;
insmod /system/modules/ramzswap.ko memlimit_kb=32000 backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
mknod /dev/ramzswap0 b 253 0;
echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/ramzswap0;
exit;
THEN adb time agian
adb push a2sd.sh /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/a2sd.sh
ok after this is done we need to change over to cyanogens boot.img wich contains his kernel that works with compache
so you either need to do this in adb or in terminal from the phone
$su
#flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
#exit
$exit
bingo bango cyanogized now!
ok now its time to reboot the phone
should start up as normal "may take a bit the first boot"
after fully booting up open up terminal app and type the following
$su
#free
(this should display your swap line with numbers in it)
IF YOU GET ZEROS HERE STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND SKIP TO THE BOTTOM FOR INSTRUCTIONS TO FIX THAT
if you dont get zeros everything is going good
now type the following
$su
#cat /proc/ramzswap
you should get a list of things if it says not found stop what your doign skip to the bottom for instructions to fix it
if it gave you a list of numbers great everythings good enjoy your new faster jachero!
IF YOU GOT ZEROS IN YOUR SWAP LINE OR NO READING FOR ramzswap!!!
Do the following,
take your original a2sd.sh and get in adb
adb push a2sd.sh /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/a2sd.sh
adb shell reboot
now....
i suggest doing this in adb but you can type it all in terminal if you want...
type the following to enable compache
$su
#insmod /system/modules/xvmalloc.ko
##insmod /system/modules/ramzswap.ko memlimit_kb=32000 backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
#mknod /dev/ramzswap0 b 253 0
#echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
#swapon /dev/ramzswap0
#cat /proc/ramzswap
should show a list of numbers probably all at 0.. this is good
reboot phone now (the insmod and swap on stick after reboot)
tada!!
whenever i get off work ill compile this and post the update.zip for those who dont feel like doing this much work
this is not a SUPER customized rom or anything i just put together pieces i wanted to enable the compache swap on this... i feel it increases responsivness ALOT and alot smoother interface using compache and linux swap
lmk about any bugs or anything

TODO LIST!
Multitouch on Cyanogens kernel
optimize compache script on boot (reading jasherais posts like crazy)
wow thanks for this, will wait for ya update.zip! out of curiosity, how much automation will your update.zip have? example, after flashing with Jachero 2.7.3, will your update.zip take care of everything else?
trying this now, will report back if it works after im done
Edit: ill quickly compile an update.zip for this, might take a while to upload though
the only problem i encountered when i did this was editing the a2sd.sh and getting it to work after i put it back in the system
if you have to get into terminal and do
su
chmod 755 /system/bin/a2sd.sh
exit
just to be safe
this script also enables the linux swap partition on boot
so your using compache highspeed swap as piramry and linux swap as secondary the compache swap is stored on your ext2/3 partition

The way h.nocturna coded the userinit.sh for this made it prefer compache over linux swap partition for speed issues then linux swap is secondary

i need to change the scripting the swap is getting slow after a day or two there was some info in the compache thread about this ... ill let yall know whtas goin on
I realized you need to turn on the swap on sd after compcache has initialized.
with the release of the source code for the bravo kernel this has become redundant
to be able to directly access my stuff on samba shares i made a _patch_ for the cifs code in 2.6.32.15 and built cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko with arm-eabi-4.4.0
i thought i'd share them here in case it was of use to anyone else
this is how i installed them:
Code:
(boot into recovery mode)
$ adb shell mount /system
$ adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules
$ adb push nls_utf8.ko /system/lib/modules
$ adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/*.ko
$ adb shell "cd /system/lib/modules; ln -s . 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527"
$ adb shell umount /system
(reboot)
this is how i tested them:
Code:
sh-3.2$ su
sh-3.2# modprobe nls_utf8
sh-3.2# modprobe cifs
sh-3.2# busybox mount -t cifs -o user=<username>,password=<password>,uid=1000,gid=1015,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,iocharset=utf8,nodfs //10.0.1.2/public2 /sdcard/smb/public2
(1015 is the gid of 'sdcard_rw')

afaik the current nextsense comes with Myshkinbob's cifs module (although not with the latest one) - it's module version id was simply patched to suppress the version mismatch error message you got
here is mine if still interested:
(be sure to type "ln -s . 2.6.32.15-g1fc4045" instead of "ln -s . 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527" when installing)

Thx~! go to try it.
Greetings,
I tried using your patch on the source for the supersonic (evo) and it went in and compiled perfectly, i was able to do an insmod and loaded the driver fine, but when i go to do a mount the phone crashes.
any ideas?
(i have tried both the arm-eabi-4.4.0 and the arm-2010q1 toolchains)
Thanks!!

the patch does not cleanly apply to supersonic-2.6.32.15-g746f4f0, as it is for vanilla 2.6.32.15
please overwrite fs/cifs with the vanilla sources before you apply it
just tried and was able to build the very same .ko published in the first post (except for the buildstamp of course):
pulled the supersonic kernel source from developer.htc.com
overwrote fs/cifs/* with vanilla
pulled & applied the patch from pastebin
pulled .config from my phone
in menuconfig
set the localversion (general setup)
selected cifs + nls_utf8 to be built as module
did _not_ touch the debug options already set
did 'make modules'
stripped the modules with arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug
insmod worked, mount worked, browsing the share worked
if you get crashes, check /proc/last_kmsg after reboot

What is considered "vanilla sources"?
I used git and pulled the whole android repo but am not finding the vanilla sources there...
do you mean the vanilla linux sources??
[edit]
i tried the cifs files from the vanilla linux source (same version) but the phone still crashes (even after the debug strip)
Should i try to use a different config (rather than the one from the supersonic templates?)
Do you have an evo that you tested this on?
Thanks again!!!

i pulled the config from the device ($adb shell zcat /proc/config.gz > .config)
i do not own an evo, the only reason for me to use evo/incredible sources is that htc haven't released bravo-froyo kernel sources yet

replace supersonic fs/cifs with vanilla
edit Makefile with extra EXTRAVERSION info
get .config from running device
make CROSS_COMPILE=CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- oldconfig (accept defaults)

What did you do differently? (or what is the difference between cifs-supersonic and cifs-vanilla) -- I would look myself, but i'm not the best at coding... (that's what i get for being a sysadmin and not a dev -- but i can script until the cows come home )

WHAT IT DOES.
- New iptables
- New Openvpn binary
- All Symlinks created.
- All Permissions.
- Folders Created.
REQUIREMENTS:
-ROOT
-CWM-RECOVERY
-BusyBox
-OpenVpn config files, certs etc in /sdcard/openvpn
CONFIRMED WORKING ON :
-LeeDroid 1.2
-[RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6 Stock Sense Rom] - thanks to Walker Street For Testing.
Please inform me if you can confirm this working on Other ROM'S Thank you.
I AM USING ,
[KERNEL]Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz CFS+BFQ+SmartAss+TUN+EXT4+.27 ACE 1.1.4 [15/12/2010]
IN THEORY THIS SHOULD WORK WITH ANY SENSE ROM & KERNEL..
JUST MAKE SURE YOU THE KERNEL HAS A TUN.KO ETC CONFIGURED FOR IT.
DOWNLOAD :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15057375/mero01-xda/OpenVPN.zip
And a BIG thanks to ecips for helping with this
NO LONGER NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS , JUST USE OpenVPN.zip & FOLLOW ON FROM STEP 4!!
Ok guys had alot of problems gettings this too were it working, hopefully you guys might see some errors/fix's to improve on this
Requirements:
OpenVPN-Settings - Market
OpenVpn Binary File - Located in the openvpn4DesireHD.ZIP
LeeDrOiD HD v1.2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842802
Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.1.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835616
UPDATED 17/12/2010: CONFIRMED WORKING ON, LeeDroiD HD v1.2 & Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.1.4
A) Not sure if this matters or not but i copied LeeDroids iptables file from the Desire.
B) Copy your client.conf or .ovpn file and certs to /sdcard/openvpn
C) Implementation:
1. Unzip/copy openvpn binary file to device.
1.b replace the current openvpn file in /system/xbin with this new one
1.c -- chmod +x with it.
Code:
adb remount
adb push openvpn /system/xbin/
adb shell
chmod +x /system/xbin/openvpn
exit
If " adb remount " didnt work
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
in order to mount system as read/write
2. Make folder /system/xbin/bb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mkdir /system/xbin/bb
exit
3. Make symbolic links to ifconfig and route & busy box.
THIS IS WERE THE PROBLEMS ALL COME FROM AND IF YOU HAVE ISSUES THIS IS WHAT WILL BE CAUSEING IT! SOMETHING TO DO WITH LINK BETWEEN BUSY BOX AND IFCONFIG......BUT I TRIED FROM FRESH BOOT AND IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY NOW WILL TALK TOO LEE ABOUT GETTING EVERYTHING INBUILT IN LEEDROID
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
ln -s /system/xbin/ifconfig /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb/route
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/ifconfig
reboot
4. Install/Configure OpenVPN-Settings
4.0 Install OpenVPN-Settings from "Market" its free dont worrie
Code:
4.1 On device, launch OpenVPN Settings.
4.2 Long press openvpn.conf, Preferences.
4.3 Check "Use VPN DNS Server"
4.4 Enter your VPN DNS Server
4.5 Script Security Level Select Built-in + scripts
4.5 press back
4.6 Click click the sub-menu option select Advanced
4.7 Load tun kernel module and make it 'insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko' before starting openvpn.
7.8 Change path to openvpn binary to /system/xbin/openvpn
Click " Fix HTC Routes "
You should now be connected
IF I FORGOT ANYTHING PLS LET ME KNOW VERY TIRED WHEN I DID THIS HAHA
Here is my config anyways for reference and here is my client config
Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XX 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert mero-android.crt
key mero-android.key
comp-lzo
verb 6
script-security 2
Have also realised if you go terminal and do following gives you nice log
basicly , su root, cd to your openvpn folder location, run openvpn on your client conf
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/openvpn
openvpn client.ovpn
For added security. To make the OpenVPN request a password on connect. do the following
change step 4.5 to Script Security Level Select Built-in + scripts + passwords
add the following to your server conf.
Code:
username-as-common-name
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-pam.so login
and this to your client
Code:
auth-user-pass
Change Log:
Use OpenVPN.zip & step 4 and beyond.

It's a VPN (virtual private network). I can access my home and work computers from my android.
I am super-impressed mero. But I wasn't able to get it to work .... I think it's my fault .... I've stuffed around so much. I'm right now starting a clean install.... It should work..... I hope.

I did alot of stuffing around aswell thats why i wanted to test it.
So i did a full wipe. then flash to 1.2 reboot. flash to 1.0.1.fix. and then first thing i did was follow those steps.
connection worked first go
please update me, as im sure i can help.
Walker Street,
I attached a screen shot of the actual adb session i did just incase. the bottom 3 commands to my knowledge and what i can see dont work so i ommited them from the tut. but they might do somthign and not display it so thought i might upload incase.

Silly me. I forgot to set 'Fix HTC Routes'. Now I've done that and your method rules.
You're a genius mero. It works.
I changed permissions for the new openvpn and iptables using root explorer so they could execute. Maybe you didn't need to because you were doing adb push from linux (I was doing it from windows).
I don't have a DNS server, so I didn't need to specify one.
I would highly recommend these changes to LeeDroid for his rom. Have you messaged him yet?

Yes and tunnel all your internet traffic back through the VPN encrypted in many ways
also works with buzz 1.0.8.
and after pushing the openvpn binary, you need to do chmod +x with it.

Hello,
i'm in trouble....
At first, i have an error when i try the adb remount command : Operation not permitted
Then i have a second message when i try to create the "bb" folder : mkdir failed for bb. Read-only file system.
I'm confused because tel is rooted, S-OFF and suped-CID. I even changed the Kernel with Buzz's one 1,2Ghz.
Did i miss something?
Thanks for your help

hmm thats very strange... adb remount should work...
actually quite puzzled at that dunno why it wouldnt work if you do have root etc.
only other thing i can think of is have you got busybox installed ?
what state is your phone in when your trying to do this ? ie off. on, recovery mode.
Hi,
thanks for reply!
I have a branded SFR phone in France but i managed to root it and S-OFF it without problem.
I switched to another Kernel with the tun.ko file and that's all.
When i tried adb remount, the phone was ON (no recovery or anything else).
I will try in recovery mode.
Busybox is installed.
Note : impossible to connect adb while in recovery.
This seems to be the problem :
when switching kernel only, i don't change the property ro.secure because it's nested (of what i read) in the boot.img. I have a branded phone and this property is set to 1.
Is there a way to change this property without changing the whole ROM? I would llike to stay with this one.
Thanks for your advice
lionel
Ok,
switched to Leedroid 1.2 and re-changed kernel to Buzz 1,22Ghz.
This tutorial is awesome!
Thanks mero01!!!
Is there a way to use the WIFI connection instead of 3G?

Credit for koush for Droid2 Bootstrap
Credit for edgardcastro for sharing lots of information about 2nd-boot on Milestone1
Credit for Skrilax_CZ for 2nd-init and sh hijack
If you just want to install 2nd-init on your phone you can skip the whole guide and flash update-2nd-init.zip into your phone. As usual I will not hold responsibility to any damages it may cause.
WARNING: Use this ONLY if you know exactly what you are doing. This guide will make major changes in the /system partition and may turn the phone inoperative. I won’t hold responsibility if you brick your phone or to any damages it may cause.
Pre-requisites: A computer with Android SDK and ADB drivers installed and working. It’s recommended to have RSD Lite 4.9 and the appropriate SBF image just in case anything goes wrong.
This guide was made using a Brazilian Motorola Milestone2 based on Brazil Retail SBF and a computer running Windows Vista 32-bits. I started it from the scratch by flashing my phone with RSD Lite 4.9 and performing a full data/cache wipe, just to make sure any changes were discarded.
Note: Commands that should be entered in command prompt will be listed as: “C:\> <command>”. Commands issued to ADB Shell will be listed as: “# <command>”.
1. Enable USB Debugging on your phone;
2. Get permanent root. I used the app z4root which can be found here on XDA;
3. Install Droid2 Bootstrap. It may be downloaded from Market to support the developer. More info here http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html;
4. Open Droid2 Bootstrap and click “Bootstrap Recovery”;
5. Use bootstrap to reboot into Clockwork Recovery and backup your phone;
6. Reboot;
7. C:\> adb remount
8. # stop
9. # mkdir /system/etc/rootfs
10. # cp /*.rc /system/etc/rootfs
11. # mkdir /system/etc/init.d
12. # cp /system/bin/sh /system/bin/_sh
13. # cp /init_prep_keypad.sh /system/bin
14. C:\> adb push sh_hijack.sh /system/bin/
15. C:\> adb push 2nd-init /system/bin/
16. C:\> adb push sysinit /system/bin/
WARNING: at this point you should keep a terminal window (adb shell) opened before replacing the 'sh' binary. This is so because you wont be able to open a new abd shell window to run the chmod command.
17. C:\> adb push sh /system/bin/
18. # chmod 755 /system/bin/sh
19. # chmod 755 /system/bin/sh_hijack.sh
20. # chmod 755 /system/bin/2nd-init
21. # chmod 755 /system/bin/sysinit
22. # ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/mount
23. # ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/rmdir
24. # ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/cp
25. # ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/umount
26. # ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/run-parts
27. # reboot
28. At this point you should be getting into Clockwork Recovery every time, no matter how many times you have rebooted or if you’ve taken the battery of or not. THIS IS NORMAL. It means that the 2nd-boot + sh hijack is working as it should. The boots into clock recovery are caused by a conflict between sh hijack and logwrapper hijack (used by Droid2 Bootstrap). Continue the guide to fix this issue.
29. In clock recovery menu go to: mounts and storage>mount /system;
30. Open ADB Shell again (it will be available in clockwork recovery as well);
31. # cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/mylogwrapper
32. C:\> adb pull /system/etc/rootfs/
33. Open init.rc and init.mapphone_umts.rc into a text editor that preserves unix end-line format (e.g.: notepad++). Find all entries of “/system/bin/logwrapper” replacing for “/system/bin/mylogwrapper”.
34. In init.mapphone_umts.rc find entry for “exec /init_prep_keypad.sh” replacing for “exec /system/bin/init_prep_keypad.sh”. Add the following text to the end of this file to be able to run all scripts in /system/etc/init.d at boot time:
Code:
service bootscripts /system/bin/sysinit
class post-zygote_services
disabled
oneshot
35. Save and close.
36. C:\> adb push init.rc /system/etc/rootfs/
37. C:\> adb push init.mapphone_umts.rc /system/etc/rootfs/
38. # chmod 755 /system/etc/rootfs/init.rc
39. # chmod 755 /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc
40. Choose “Reboot system now” in clock recovery menu;
You’re all set! Now it is just a matter of changing the rc files in /system/etc/rootfs to customize your system boot.
If you want to log the system boot you may also copy the provided log-init.sh script into /system/etc/rootfs and uncomment the line “exec /log_init.sh” from my init.rc file. Doing so will create the /data/logcat.log file that may get huge in sometime.
2nd-init files and my modified *.rc files attached.
Have fun!
UPDATED to version 2.0.0 (froyo) this version exploits /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh instead of sh binary. It's a new method I developed in order of starting 2nd-init earlier but also keeping compatibility with Droid2bootstrapper (recovery takes place first). This might help me booting Leaked GB from 2nd-init, which wasn't possible on the previous version. Take note it's not ready yet to apply on GB.
I just missed the exec /system/bin/init_prep_keypad thanks!

A method to customize initialization scripts of android system. It's a major hack used be some Milestone1 custom ROM's. I've succeeded into porting this to MS2, and I think some modders here of XDA may be interested into adding this to custom ROM's. It may be added to the stock ROM (as I did) but it is not something that everyone is willing to try.
Word of advise: If you don't know what it is you don't need it
Ok thanks for the explanation
So it means that custom roms will be easier to create?

That's some major news for our little community.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but since init starts after the kernel is loaded, it's not useful at all for loading a custom kernel, true?
But having a custom init script is a step to CyanogenMod 6 port on Milestone 2, still true?
Anyways, great job, and great howto.

Well, it's possible, but I believe the big issue here is the impossibility of running custom kernels. Even so, a skilled Modder may be able to overcome that and port CM6 to MS2 using Motorola's stock kernel. It has been done for the MS1.

nah just kidding. I've just happened to have some luck porting Froyo and Gingerbread to the bootloader-locked x10 mini pro. I've just ordered my milestone 2 and I will work on CM6. AWESOME JOB on the 2nd init man! Really, thanks!!
edit: just can't stop thanking you! You saved me a lot of work and porting CM will be easy as sh*t for me now! THANKS

You're welcome! You can count on me to provide as much help as I can to free our MS2's from Motorola's hand. I would be very grateful if you could share your knowledge of porting CM to locked devices. I was trying to port MIUI and Shadow mod BR to MS2 but I got stuck when dealing with proprietary files.

Could this port work on Motorola defy?

It's very likely, since the 2 devices are very similar. Most of the files I attached are from Milestone1 and works perfectly on MS2. Though I recommend you to NOT replace your *.rc files with the attached ones since they could be not compatible. It would be better if you edit your own files. Also try it ONLY if you have a working version of ClockworkMod Recovery (or other custom recovery). You may adapt this guide for your device and post it here on XDA, just remember to mention my name on credits

BTW, why do you want to use 2nd-init? You know, this guide is more inclined for devs/mods who want (need) to include this feature on their ROM's. With this you can change the way things are loaded on linux system before android starts up. But to take advantage of that you should know a lot about how linux works and so on. Regular users should look for a ROM based on the features he needs. Most ROM's already have 2nd-init implemented, but it's not something users are aware of.
Possible issue I've come across:
When replacing sh, i can no longer re-open the shell for obvious reasons... potentially I need to already have a second terminal open with shell running in it already?
SBFing and trying again :3

I had no such issue here. When executing the steps of this guide I kept two windows opened all the time. One command prompt to run adb push/pull and another window running adb shell.
Thanks to point that out! I will post a warning in the main post. You should have a adb shell window already running to be able to run chmod just after replacing sh.
But don't worry, you don't need to SBF. Just reboot into clockwork recovery, mount /system via menu, and open your adb shell. It uses a different shell so you can fix the problem in /system/bin.
Looks like Motorola Defy now has CyanogenMod 7 using 2nd-init script! Wish same were the case for MS2.

I'm on it, but development is slow
No necessary to use 2nd init.
Just install "droid 2 bootstrap" and Rom Manager will work perfectly.

What are you talking about? This guide isn't related to ROM Manager.
